Cubs Pitchers Now Know How Custer Felt
Nick Swisher singled twice, homered, and drove-in four runs, Lonnie Chisenhall singled, doubled, and homered, and collected three RBI, Drew Stubbs singled and tripled and drove-in three runs, and Mark Reynolds homered and doubled and knocked-in two runs, leading a 20-hit attack as the Cleveland Indians scalped the Cubs 13-5 in Cactus League action this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Meaa, AZ.
RHP Alberto Cabrera got the start for the Cubs and was battered to the tune of five runs (all earned) on seven hits (three singles, two doubles, and two home runs) and a walk in 2.2 IP (52 pitches - 29 strikes).
Because he has a three-pitch arsenal (mid-90's fastball, hard slider, and change), the Cubs would like to move Cabrera back to the starting rotation in 2013 (he was converted to a reliever after the 2011 season), but he has struggled to throw strikes in both the Dominican Winter League post-2012 and at Spring Training 2013. And today when he did throw the ball over the plate, he was consistently and relentlessly hammered by Tribe hitters. Cabrera is a lot like Carlos Marmol, in that he has electric stuff but has a tendency to always be pitching from behind in the count. Today he seemed intent on not walking the world (as he has in the recent past), so when he got behind, he tried to pitch to contact, and it just didn't work. Cabrera is a strikeout pitcher, and to try and be something else is probably not a good strategy.
LHP Brooks Raley followed Cabrera to the mound and he fared poorly, too. Once again Raley had a long inning (a 28-pitch 4th inning), and he also surrendered five runs (four earned) on six hits (a triple, a double, and four singles) and a walk in 2.1 IP. Raley has labored in every outing so far this Spring (one intrasquad game and two Cactus League outings), and has been unable to get through an appearance without at least one high-pitch inning.
RHP Ty'Relle Harris was called up from Minor League Camp for the second time in a week, and he had a lugubrious 34-pitch (only 13 strikes) 6th inning where he allowed three runs on three hits and three walks. Harris was one of the players acquired from Atlanta in the Derrek Lee trade in 2010, and he suffered near-career ending injuries when struck by a hit & run driver outside a Knoxville nightclub in 2011. It's been a long road back and it's a miracle that he's even pitching again, but Harris will have to do a lot better in Minor League Camp than he did today at HoHoKam Park to avoid getting released.
Casey Coleman threw two scoreless innings, and RHP Marcus Hatley (brought up for the day from Minor League Camp) worked a scoreless 9th, although he did allow a hit and a walk.
A converted JC outfielder who was one of the last "Draft & Follow" signings by the Cubs before DNF was eliminated per the 2006 CBA, Hatley was ranked by Baseball America as the Cubs #29 prospect going into the 2013 season, and while he does have some upside as a hard-throwing reliever, he has yet to establish himself at the AAA level, and he will be a Rule 55 minor league free-agent (Six-Year Minor League free-agent) post-2013 if he is not added to the Cubs 40-man roster by the 5th day following the conclusion of the 2013 World Series. So the Cubs will have to watch him carefully this season so that they can make an informed decision by the deadline.
Today's Cub offensive output might have been enough to win most days, but not when the opposition scores 13 runs.
Alfonso Soriano led-off the bottom of the 2nd with a HR over the LF fence off Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco, and after Steve Clevenger drew a walk, Brad Nelson drove him home from 1st base with an RBI double. Soriano (who doubled in his second AB) appears to be in great shape, and I would not be surprised if he matches or even exceeds his 2012 numbers this season.
Down 13-2, the Cubs scored two runs off Indians #1 pitching prospect Trevor Bauer (acquired from Arizona during the off-season) in the bottom of the 7th. Jorge Soler drew a one-out walk and scored on a Logan Watkins double, and then after advancing to 3rd base on an error, Watkins scored on a Javier Baez 5-3 GO RBI (Baez's fourth RBI in two days).
Johermyn Chavez slugged a solo HR off Bauer in the bottom of the 8th for the Cubs fifth and final run of the game.
It was another small crowd at HoHoKam Park today (5,465),

Jackson's main problem is
Jackson's main problem is that he sucks. Lets get this straight right now....he doesn't need a little "Anthony Rizzo" seasoning to figure out lefties and breaking pitches to make the leap. Jackson has no friggin clue what he is doing in the batters box, Rizzo does. They are like night and day.
Jackson can change his batting style all he wants, but he is still gonna hit for a low average and strikeout a lot. You do realize he struck out 59 times in 120 AB's right? Expand that out over a full season and he punches out damn near 300 times. We aren't talking about a simple stance change were talking about a fundamentally flawed bad player with little hope of changing what he is. You don't take that kind of SO rate and reign it under control. To slash it by 1/3rd would be a miracle and he would still suck.
Jackson 26% 65% 41% 49% 74% 64%
Dunn 24% 64% 41% 50% 80% 70%
Basically Jackson is a poorer version of Adam Dunn without the menacing power stroke. Who the hell wants a Mark Grace type power hitter who punches out 250+ times and might hit .240 in a good year?
Jackson is a Hendry player.....looks good on paper across the board. Has some power, has some speed, a great combination of talents but not a baseball player. A typically Hendry wet dream player he loves to draft that is a jack of all trades but a master of none.
So you think he'll get better

and MikeC gloom and doom. Awesome.
You might be right, he might turn out to be nothing, but I will hope that his new stance will help him make better, more consistent contact. If he can even hit .250, he should get on base enough and play solid defense.

The small amount of people at tonight's AUS/NED matchup (in Taiwan) is so tiny you can hear birds occasionally chirping on the stadium mics. NED (ahead by 3 in the 8th) goes to round 2 with a win tonight.
Last night's Cuba/China matchup (in Japan) literally had about 200-300 people, tops...in the Fukuoka Dome/Japan Dome. That was surreal emptiness in a country that loves baseball. I wonder how much has to do with the recent tensions between Japan and China...it seems like the usual "family support crowd" was missing.

another nearly empty ballpark for BRA/CHN (@ Fukuoka Dome) tonight. Seems like there's a bit more Chinese in attendance tonight with noise-makers...maybe 400-500 people, tops. They didn't have noise-makers last night. The Chinese fans are cheering everything the team does and constantly making noise.

Larry David would recognize that every time Raley takes the mound with a chance to impress - to show he belongs in the Show - he pees on himself. Just starts freaking out.
While he might have the "stuff", he has not shown he can overcome the Yips. We have several pitchers like this it seems, and have had a nice collection of them in the last ten years.
Chris Rusin is another one. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is much pitching quality chosen by the Hendry regime in the minors. They could use a team shrink to help these guys who have potential but are mentally incapacitated when they get on the mound. Maybe they have one? PHIL?
The one pitcher that was a nice prospect got traded to the Rays.

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Tigers are "pushing hard" to trade for a closer.
The Tigers were hoping that hard-throwing rookie Bruce Rondon would take control of the job, but it's already obvious that he could be overmatched, especially for a club that is built to win right now. It's not clear who the Tigers have spoken with, but Knobler notes that the Nationals aren't interested in moving any of their late-inning relievers (Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard). Meanwhile, the Tigers haven't contacted the Red Sox about the availability of Andrew Bailey. If the team can't find a fit outside the organization, they could rely on a closer-by-committee.

Don't know who they were, but the red-shirted broadcasting team for that Angel-Cub game on Sunday was a little strange.

"They knew we were going to do it that way," Gibson said. "I had it happen that way with a team. They tried to put the DH in there. That's not the way it's done. I wanted to play a National League game. I notified them several times. They just wanted to do it their way. They couldn't do it. They didn't like that. We play by the rules here. If we were over there, we'd play by their rules. It's very simple. It was good locker room talk."

Anyone know much about the Cubs new "fireballer"?
Is he better than Concepcion?
Lets hope so.
From last summer:
From last summer:
...the 6-foot-3, 195-pound...Rivero, who has a body type similar to Texas reliever Mike Adams, starred for the Havana Industriales as a closer and was a teammate of Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes and Texas Minor Leaguer Leonys Martin at the World University Baseball Championships in Japan in 2010.
The right-hander's fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s and his repertoire also features a two-seam fastball, slider and changeup.
The best-informed Cub fans
The best-informed Cub fans are on TCR.
From Ben Badler at Baseball
From Ben Badler at Baseball America last January:
Rivero and Concepcion were teammates with the Industriales in Cuba in 2010-11, but while Concepcion was a starter, Rivero worked out of the bullpen. Rivero's power played well as a reliever, as he posted a 3.06 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 21 walks in 47 innings in his final season in Cuba.
Rivero, 23, has a thin 6-foot-3 frame and pitches off of a plus fastball. He throws around 91-93 mph and has topped out at 96. His mechanics have some funkiness in the back with a slight hook, but some scouts say the ball comes comes out cleanly in the front from a low three-quarters arm slot. His best secondary pitch is a quality splitter with some late tumble.
Some scouts have said Rivero throws both a curveball and a slider, while others think it's two different versions of the same pitch. His breaking stuff is behind his splitter, flashing solid-average every once in a while but it's often a 45 on the 20-80 scale with more side-to-side action because his low slot makes it hard to stay on top of the ball.
Scouts don't want to limit Rivero to the bullpen just because he was used that way in Cuba, but many of them believe he best profiles as a middle reliever. Once he signs, he could start in Double-A.

I don't know the details but his name popped up in AZ Phil's piece on AAA and AA assignments (h/t @davidrelliot). He's apparently in the Cubs AA camp. Haven't been able to confirm it but it makes sense as the Cubs were pursuing him as early as last year.
UPDATE: AZ Phil was able to confirm that the Cubs have signed Rivero, though he does not know terms or date he was signed yet.

With progress stalled in the
With progress stalled in the effort to seal a deal for the $300 million rehab of Wrigley Field, the alderman who represents the area is talking tough about his terms of agreement.
Ald. Thomas Tunney, 44th, said Thursday that he would not sign off on a deal unless it included more parking, better police protection and "aesthetic" assurances sought by Wrigleyville residents and businesses — all issues that have yet to be settled.
"Aesthetic" assurances = no

In this crazy, post-Citizens United world, it's nice to see when a local politician can still be bought and paid for by his neighborhood constituents rather than some billionaires.

the ringers masquerading as the Dutch are beating Cuba 5-1 in the top of the 6th of the WBC (2nd round)....double elimination I believe. Fun stuff.
Korea didn't make it out of the first round I see. Did well the past 2 tournaments (semifinals in 2006, lost in Finals in 2009).

jose fernandez's number is going to be retired by FLA.
there's custom jerseys on their way to tonight's game (and hopefully will make it on time). all the marlins are going to wear #16 tonight.
this still sucks.
probably saturday depending on what they do with hammel (assuming friday for ham).
Lester is going to get one more start, right? It sure would be nice to see him get a shot at 20 wins.
Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.

Updated #Cubs probs vs Pirates: Mon, Hendricks vs Kuhl; Tue, Lackey vs Vogelsong; Wed, Arrieta vs Taillon; Thu, Zastryzny vs Nova
I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.

Hi, my name is Jamin, and I'm here to tell you the top five defining draft moments of the famous New England Patriots, possibly the greatest franchise in history but probably not though.
These players helped New England get to be this good and are one of the best in history.
So as your watching this slide show, I want you to think about what these players have accomplished, like Tom Brady throwing 50 touchdowns in a season.
So here you are: the slide show you've been waiting for...enjoy!

Strauss Advances Most in Three Years on Coffee Sale Report
Strauss Group Ltd. rose the most in almost three years after TheMarker said Israel's second-largest food producer is in talks to sell its overseas coffee activities to Sara Lee Corp. Strauss denied the report.
The shares jumped 7.5 percent, the biggest gain since December 2008, to 45.90 shekels at the 4:30 p.m. close in Tel Aviv.
"There is currently no contact between Strauss and Sara Lee regarding either a sale or acquisition of businesses," Strauss said in an e-mailed statement.

NBC reminded us once again (as if we didn't know) why we waited all day for Sunday night. Personally I waited all week. I don't know what she was talking about. This is football, not dinner.
Week 5, what a week. The Green Bay Packers made me nervous for the first time this season. With the red carpet that was lain out for the Atlanta Falcons in the first drive of the game, I wondered when I had missed the press release that the team was subbed out for a JV High School Team.
Fortunately the Boys From the Bay riled back, and was able to clinch the only 5-0 standing so far in the league. But with the opening performance that we saw, we need to get a little critical. How did each position really do when you break it down?

International Conference on Education and Development in Sierra Leone
Conveners: The University of Sierra Leone, supported by the Tertiary Education Commission and the National Planning Committee for Sierra Leone @ 50 Venue: Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone
Dates: May 31 to June 3, 2011
This is a call for papers from interested scholars and practitioners
Conceptualization of the Problem
Sierra Leone used to be fondly called the "Athens of West Africa". The early incidence of colonial rule in the Sierra Leone Colony meant an early opportunity for western education, earlier than in most other West African countries. This led to an initial crop of western trained clergymen, doctors, legal luminaries, etc like Samuel Lewis, knighted by the Queen of England in the late 19th century, and James Africanus Horton, the first West African medical doctor. This early highly trained manpower was to be exported to other parts of West Africa, like Ajayi Crowder, the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church who set up a Christian mission in Nigeria. Many who sustained the colonial service in places like Ghana and Nigeria in the later colonial period had their higher education in Sierra Leone, creating familial links among a new West African elite. More recently, there have been questions raised about the quality of this education in Sierra Leone. A recent Education Review pointed to several reasons for decline, including the decade long civil war that exported much of the qualified manpower from the educational system. But there are reasons such as a declining economy rendering teachers in the school system to be poorly paid, a situation that preceded the civil war but was also aggravated by that event. While the focus is on the economic factors detracting from the quality of formal education, concern is also being expressed about the direction of formal training and its value in creating a more functional work force and its impact on creating a sense of nationalism and patriotism, so critical in advancing the interest of the country among its citizens. These issues shift the focus away from numeracy and literacy. They impinge on factors that could significantly contribute to a more motivated workforce. Factors that relate to a sense of confidence and identity based on a properly valorized perception of one's culture and history, that could make a citizen feel proud of her own values and self and by extension her country. If this can be said to be desirable, then a proper training of the trainers is essential. To what degree does the contemporary curriculum contribute to an enhancement of these values? Who defines the curriculum? Recently, it would appear that voluntary agencies from abroad have been very instrumental in amending the curriculum of schools, imposing their own interests in what has come to be called "emerging issues", issues like the girl child. What is the nature of training and re-training of personnel. This would shift the focus to institutions of higher learning where these teachers are trained. Dialogue is necessary to focus on the building of the curriculum for schools and the enabling factor, the level of competence that the trainers in higher education have, based on the training and background they themselves had received. What was the nature of this background? Another related factor, much pushed around today, is that of gender. To what extent are females marginalized in formal education in Sierra Leone? Recent meetings are suggesting that the education of the female is being hampered by cultural practices like female circumcision? To what extent in this latter an inhibiting factor? What is the historical experience in this regard in Sierra Leone? Can this be said to be a factor in the higher education of women in Sierra Leone? A debate on these issues under the auspices of the University of Sierra Leone could contribute significantly in charting a proper way forward, particularly in higher education, the source of the training of the trainers. The University of Sierra Leone is therefore proposing a conference on education and Development in Sierra Leone, where academics and practitioners in curriculum development and the training and re-training of teachers will dialogue with counterparts from other Institutions elsewhere towards a better understanding of the issues involved. This could help determine the way forward in higher education as Sierra Leone moves into fifty years of post independence sovereignty.

At one church it was "Y2J" - Jesus 2000. One minister called it "a new day." Another pastor told his congregation to leave the past behind.
From coast to coast Sunday, the beginning of 2000 was a common theme in religious services, with clergy using the opportunity to call for a fresh start and a millennium of faith, peace and devotion.
"Get into Y2J instead of Y2K - Jesus 2000," the Rev. Jim Holley preached to members of Detroit's Little Rock Baptist Church.
"God was in the last century, and he's in this one," said one of his congregation members, Sheila Whitlow. "I just hope for the future that man can do better than last century, that we all can get along."
The Rev. Dumas Harshaw Jr. of the predominantly black First Baptist Church in Raleigh, N.C., urged his congregation to leave strife in the 20th century.
"Don't be filled with arguing, and don't be angry. You can't live in the past. You have to live now," he said to "amens" from the crowd.
The Rev. Gary Hogue of First Congregational Church in Traverse City, Mich., said he hoped for a religious revival.
"The 20th century was dominated by ideas that left God out," Hogue said, including the Marxist belief in class struggle and capitalist faith in the "invisible hand" of the marketplace.
"The 21st century will be preoccupied with questions of God," Hogue said. "So often, we identify ourselves with our job, our family, our country. Your deepest identify is as a child of God."
Celiste Carter, a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in Oklahoma City, had similar thoughts: "We need to take a closer look at religion as we enter the new millennium. Religion seems to have fallen to the wayside. I think that may be some of the reasons for youth problems."
Several hundred cheerful people attended a service at Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco, where the Rev. Douglas Fitch exhorted: "It's a new day. It is a new way."
He told the congregation to come out from behind the "highly edited versions" of themselves. "That's why I like the new year. It gives every one of us the chance to tell the secret of who we truly are even if we only tell it to ourselves," Fitch said.

Donato's Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
We had the opportunity to dine twice in ...
We had the opportunity to dine twice in the same week at Donato's. The service is slower than necessary, and the consistency of the food preparation is uneven. Several dishes were ordered, with the mussels overcooked, the risotto too undercooked, the house salads hastily prepared and served. The filet mignon's however were perfectly prepared, and the wine selections were properly served. All in all, both occasion's were satisfactory, but needed improvement for this restaurant to regain its former status of consistency which matches the prices paid by the customer.
Four women came to Donatos to celebrate ...
Four women came to Donatos to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a noon reservation. There were three other occupied tables in the restaurant and at 1:00 we still were not served our salads.
I asked the hostess if there was a problem and voila, our salads appeared. Mine had bacon and had to be sent back to the kitchen. My plate reappeared when my friends were nearly finished eating!
I live nearby and was most disappointed in the service. This is not an inexpensive restaurant and we will not be returning anytime soon.

One of the best meals I've had. Can't wait to go back. We were seated in the bar area and enjoyed the atmosphere there. I had one of the spaghetti dishes and really enjoyed it. My wife had a chicken dish and it was remarkable also. A gem of a restaurant!

First visit here, and absolutely loved it. We came thinking it would be a simple Italian restaurant, but found out it's an excellent steakhouse also! The NY Strip was fantastic and perfectly prepared. Very nicely decorated and very nice waitstaff.

We had a party for 11 people and everything was outstanding. This was our best meal that we all had in a long time. Our waiter Andy was the absolute best. We are planning another party in Oct and I would not hesitate going back to Donato's again.

A varied and interesting lunch menu. The veal and spinach canneloni was hand-made and delicious. My guest much enjoyed the crab cakes. A tasty bread selection, including mini pizza bread was enjoyable. There was no rush to the meal. Relatively new owners/chefs make this a restaurant worth exploring. We will return for the evening meal!

A positive experience at Donato's this past weekend. From our greeting upon arrival, to Donato's accommodation of a particular table, to the excellent service by Julia, to a very good dinner/special entrée for the evening...it was all good. The price of my glass of red was very high when compared to the price of a bottle...they were almost the same. So I had one glass instead of two. We will go back and will definitely request a table with Julia if she is available.
What my family & I like about Donato's ...
What my family & I like about Donato's is that the food is consistently good. The menu is constant with daily specials which at least one of us tries. The service is always good as well. the staff is friendly and pleasant. Thank you all for the team work involved in serving us when we dine with you. You always make it a pleasurable experience.

We went to Donatos to celebrate our son's graduation from Pitt. We were a party of 9.
The service was great, the appetizers delicious ( I loved their calamari in the red sauce) and the dinners were pretty good also.
My family enjoyed the filet mignon. I had the grouper which wasn't my favorite, but overall it was a good experience. I would definitely go back.
We were excited about finally going to D ...
We were excited about finally going to Donato' because we had heard really good things about the food, unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The service was a bit slow. It took about 15 min before our waitress finally came over to get our drink order. The food was okay. My husband ordered the crab cakes. Without the sauce they were quite bland. Definitely not the best we've had. I ordered the seafood risotto. The shrimp and risotto were good, but the lobster was way over cooked and had a funny taste to it. When we got our bill, my husband had been charged with a more expensive beer that he ordered, but they were out of. It was never fixed in the computer. The waitress made the correction for us. Overall, we were disappointed. Maybe it was the food choices we made, but I doubt we'll give Donato's a second chance with so many other great choices available in Pittsburgh.
Fantastic italian meal for my Parent's Anniversary
I had never eaten at Donato's prior to booking my Parent's 50th Anniversary dinner. After reading some reviews, I decided to take a chance. Am I ever glad that I decided to celebrate at Donato's! There were 9 in our party, and we were seated in a side room, off of the main dining room. It offered some privacy for our family, while not separating us completely from other diners. I delivered a floral arrangement to the restaurant earlier in the day, and they ensured it was sitting on the table when we arrived. Our waiter was friendly and extremely attentive, while not being obtrusive. The food was fantastic! I would definitely book again at Donato's, and not only for special occasions.
Calamari diavola was tops as always. Goo ...
Calamari diavola was tops as always. Good texture. Not chewy. The bottleneck clams with linguine is what I order almost every time. Hasn't disappointed me yet. A very generous portion of clams with the linguine, which was al dente. The only thing I didn't prefer, which wasn't a huge deal, was the music. For some reason they were playing soft jazz. Much more prefer the Sinatra station they played in the background the past 2 times I was there. Overall, very good again and we will be back
Valentine's Day dining
We came to Donatos for Valentine's Day on Saturday feb 13th. Service was very good but upon review of the menu, it was clear that the food was tremendously overpriced. Still, I ordered the veal chop and my wife the filet mignon. Each entree was to include soup or salad. I chose soup, lobster bisque, but realized only upon return home that we were charged $8 additional for the soup. I thought soup or salad was included but apparently only the salad was. Portion sizes were small. The food was tasty, in particular the homemade meatballs, and was prepared well. However, this is a place, for me, that presents atmosphere primarily and charges for it. I will not return because the value simply is not there. At the price point, there are better restaurants in and around Pgh IMO.
Andy was great and private room was roomy
We had a meeting here and it was fantastic. Everyone in our group of 7 liked the food and Andy the waiter was friendly and helpful. I had fish special, and others tried the eggplant and lasagna. The room was quiet and great for our meeting.
Restaurant Decline
I have been eating dinner at Donato's for approximately 6 years for special occasions and always on New Years Eve. I believe the service and food have declined over the past several years and will look for another restaurant for my New Year's Eve dinner next year. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend Donato's to others. Specific issues regarding 12/31/15 lad dinner experience:
(1) Confusion at the front desk upon entering (unprofessional).
(2) No salad fork (which I expect when I spend almost $200 (for dinner for two).
(3) My date order a $45 New York Strip (his first choice was the Prime Rib but it was already sold out at 8:45 p.m.). I would have expected a "side" at this price. Some asparagus or mashed potatoes or ANYTHING. The presentation of only a steak on a dinner plate is, again, pretty poor when one is spending $200 at what I used to consider a pretty high end restaurant.
(4) No offer to check our coats (as was the case in past years) or a place to hang the coat (that I could find). My coat was long and was hanging on the back of my chair (bottom folded on the floor).
(5) In prior year's, a complimentary meatball (or after dinner cordial) was offered as a appetizer. Nice touch but no longer exists.
(6) The good --- crème brulee was delicious.
I'm sorry to say that both my date and I feel that we need to start a new tradition at a different restaurant in the years to come.
Perfect NYE Date Spot
My husband and our 2 best friends went to Donatos for New Years Eve dinner and we could ALL not say anything short of amazing about our experience. The food was unbelievable. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. I called the restaurant a few times leading up to our reservation and was always greeted with a sweet hello from Ro. They Even let us bring our own wine in the enjoy with dinner, which made us so thrilled. We will surely be going back to Donatos and recommend this place to anybody who wants a delicious, comfortable and out of this world dining experience.
Huge disappointment
We are frequent diners at Donatos. A recent birthday lunch was excellent. For dinner, my soup was room temp, the pork loin dry with little sauce, the potatoes average at best. my wife's eggplant parm was mostly cheese (compared to the wonderful eggplant parm I had at our latest lunch). my wife's oysters and salad were excellent, and the desserts also, although my creme brulee was rather small. We felt the service was spotty, and the restaurant was not crowded. All in all, very disappointing, the worst experience I have ever had there. The eggplant really was awful.

Out of towners treated like family
My kids and I were in town for the weekend and decided to try Donato's. Everyone was friendly including the other guests. Food was delicious. I had the del Monico. Tender, juicy, wish I had another one right now! Prosciutto wrapped shrimp is an outstanding appetizer. Risotto was just a tick underdone causing it to be a little starchy but had great flavors. Get an order of meatballs for the table! Would certainly return!
Don't forget the signature meatball appetizer
It was a first class dinner with a California cabernet that put a fabulous finish to our chocolate cake dessert. Our server was very attentive in the full room but it never felt crowded. We'll return with friends

In San Francisco, it will soon be a crime not to compost.
Residents and restaurants will have to compost food scraps or face fines up to $500 for not separating trash into recyclables, compostables and plain old trash, according to Nation's Restaurant News.
The current voluntary program provides compost to farms and vineyards in the Bay area. More than 1,000 restaurants already participate because the charge for hauling off compostable material is less than for standard waste, according to the contractor who runs the city's service.

Short of using a cork, there have been few answers to how to control the methane emissions from cows, but there may be at least a partial answer.
Stonyfield Farm, a supplier of organic dairy products, says it is having success developing a "Greener Cow." The idea is to alter the bovines' diets to reduce their burps which would mean less methane and less global warming, they say.

Experts are trying to help landowners in the Panhandle find ways to keep grass growing on Conservation Reserve Program land instead of plowing up the soil that got in the program because it's considered more prone to erosion than other land.
The scientists are talking more about this because increasing numbers of CRP contracts are starting to expire, and once they do the payments stop and the landowners have to decide how to replace that income.

Some guy from North Chili, N.Y., is trying to get everyone to lighten their load by putting stuff out on their curb on Oct. 24 to let other people pick through it.
Okay, first, what's a New York town calling itself Chili for? Second, this is supposed to let you get rid of useable stuff you don't really use. Sounds good. But what happens when you go digging through your neighbors stuff and go home with more stuff? You get nowhere or go backwards on the too-much-stuff treadmill.

Now there's a plan, kind of, that puts dates to the completion of transmission lines for wind power in the Panhandle.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has submitted to the Public Utilities Commission proposed construction completion dates.
Here comes the alphabet soup.
ERCOT's plan is based on the PUC's goal of having all the lines to make the wind farms in Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ) hooked up and pumping power to Dallas and such by the end of 2013.

Helen Hunt Jackson Poems
A Calendar Of Sonnets: January
O Winter! frozen pulse and heart of fire,
What loss is theirs who from thy kingdom turn
Dismayed, and think thy snow a sculptured urn
Of death! Far sooner in midsummer tire
The streams than under ice. June could not hire
Her roses to forego the strength they learn
In sleeping on thy breast. No fires can burn
The bridges thou dost lay where men desire
In vain to build.
O Heart, when Love's sun goes
To northward, and the sounds of singing cease,
Keep warm by inner fires, and rest in peace.
Sleep on content, as sleeps the patient rose.
Walk ...
My snowy eupatorium has dropped
Its silver threads of petals in the night;
No signal told its blossoming had stopped;
Its seed-films flutter silent, ghostly white:
No answer stirs the shining air,
As I ask, "Where?"
Beneath the glossy leaves of winter-green
Dead lilly-bells lie low, and in their place

Posted on 01/02/2008 5:04:33 AM PST by redstates4ever
Caption these left-wing losers, protesting at the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena (target-rich environment) *PING*
Is there anyone in that crowd under the age of 60?
Same crowd, different decade.
What a pile of Mugly Others...
( And they dress funny, too... )
What's with protesters and large paper mache heads? It's comical.
Looks like she could use another "hunger strike"...
The Real Losers in the Iraq War
Can you believe that old bag flippinâoff the photographer?What a loser,and an embarrassment to her grand kids.
LOL! And Sheehan has been eating too many of those smoothies
(looks like a possible active duty guy in one of those pics in orange?)
Flipping people off at the Rose Parade??
Some old women don't have grandkids, or kids, or husbands, or boyfriends, or friends, or relatives that claim to know who they are, or ....
I see that the sit-ups worked.
Rich kids with soft paper mache skills and cold hard cash from daddy.
This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but she doesn't have a ring on any finger (which are so easily seen here!).
The irony of all this never ceases to stun me: These people protesting Bush and the war are only able to do that because they are the "protected." They are the ones who reap the benefits of freedom by those who are defending it.
There used to be an old saying during the Vietnam era among the military, I will paraphrase: "The protected never fully understand the meaning of peace and freedom, and what is required to defend it."
>Same crowd, different decade.<
First thing I thought of when I saw Cindy's pic was the guy in Woodstock, when he was warning folks not to eat the brown acid because it was making people sick.
I'd like to know what they think about Clinton being impeached.
Impeachment is patriotic again? We were told that it was wrong to impeach Bubba Clinton because it could hurt the stock market.
Supporting the insurgency is patriotic? You will see antiAmerican war protesters (who are certainly NOT for peace) who carry banners that they support the (terrorist) insurgency in Iraq.
Sedition is not patriotic. Buddying up to every dictator who ever denounces the Bush Administration is not "patriotic".
A pack of 1960's hippie retreads.
How pathetic can you get.
The '60's are over.
Useful Idiot carrying on the mantra of American born proganda broadcaster "Axis Sally"...
I love these so called Christians on the left who never read the part in the Bible that says no man can condemn another to Hell. Only God reserves that power.
There is a basic mental sickness in these types. They aren't the revolution — they are just revolting.
I was going to ask how you would like having this winner for a grandma, but I suspect it isn't actually an issue for her.
"62 million of us voted for GW. We own guns and know how to use them. Anyone trying to impeach GW and Cheney will be on the losing end of a civil war! So bring it on you miserable POS's!"
The orange signs, shirts and bandanas are
World Can't Wait, a front group for the RCP.
You can tell because he's underdressed for the occasion where puke chic is the fashion of the day.
Those are circulated by Code Pink.
Cindy Sheehan and her ilk are a disgrace to
America bipeds.
She should act her age, not her IQ.
Kid Rock's prettier.

State of Origin series set to bring out the best form of Queensland winger Darius Boyd
- From: The Courier-Mail
- May 16, 2012
WINGER Darius Boyd believes he and the Newcastle Knights are going through "a learning curve" as the club battles injury and an early season form wobble under new coach Wayne Bennett.
Boyd's form has not been as commanding in his first season at the Knights as it was during three strong seasons under Bennett at St George.
He is yet to score a try, has two try assists and just one line break but Queensland has faith in his ability to rise to the challenge of Origin football.
Andrew "Joey" Johns has claimed the Knights, 12th on the NRL ladder with just four wins, may fall out of the eight this year as they battle injuries to hooker Danny Buderus and skipper Kurt Gidley and generally lack forward firepower.
"It is different getting to know everyone and the way they play and getting to know the way Wayne wants the team to play it is a learning curve for everyone," Boyd said.
"It is a team thing. We all have to adapt to it as a team and I think we are slowly doing that.
"We are getting there in dribs and drabs. We will get there in the end."
Boyd is set to mark his Newcastle teammate Akuila Uate who has been in exceptional form but the Maroons are hoping Boyd will perform a similar shut down operation that he managed in Brisbane last year when he gave the flashy finisher no room to move.
Uate's form has risen above the medicore standards of his teammates in a season where he has managed five tries and eight line breaks.
Boyd claims he has no reservations about joining the Knights.
"It's a good place to live I really enjoy it."
Television footage appeared to show Boyd looking downcast and close to tears at halftime in a recent club match but when asked about the incident yesterday he replied "I have no comment on that".
Boyd concedes the supreme quality of the players around him at State of Origin level.
"Obvious in saying that I am playing in a different position (wing compared to fullback) too so it is completely different."
Queensland coach Mal Meninga said of Boyd: "I think he will enjoy his time with Queensland and go back to the Knights a more confident player. I thought he played well against the Cowboys."

This has been the most expensive and by far the worst accommodation we've had in our 6 week trip. Although the property has had a superficial facelift, we were lead to our room that had a water damaged ceiling, broken plasterboards, loose tiles - reviewing rot and water damage, a dirty shower with broken enamel.. We actually felt like we had to keep our slippers on the whole time, including in the shower. The only positives were a reasonably close, but dimly lit, walk to bourbon street.

Hot Links: Tax Breaks, Meth Labs, and Stink-Free Undies
The city of Phoenix will offer tax breaks to business owners, giving them a two-month amnesty period between April 15 and June 15 to file delinquent taxes without a penalty. The interest rate for delinquent taxes will be cut from six percent to three percent during the amnesty period...Perhaps business owners downtown could use the tax break to offset this new cost: parking meter rates have been raised from 60 cents per hour to $1.50 per hour. The city expects the price hike to add about $1 million a year to the city's general fund...Phoenix Suns player Leandro Barbosa, who injured his knee during a game last week, won't be back in action until the April 5 game at Dallas, at the earliest. Suns coach Alvin Gentry says he won't put Barbosa back on the court until he's ready...A Buckeye pastor, Charles Lawrence Carfrey, has been arrested on charges of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct with a minor, after three alleged victims came forward and told police the pastor had fondled them during counseling sessions...The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office announced it discovered two active meth labs near Black Canyon Freeway in Phoenix. While investigating one meth house, officers were led to a second house, where they say they found 20 undocumented immigrants inside. The MCSO says it believes the meth labs and drop house were somehow connected...Imagine being able to wear the same pair of skivvies for a week, without worrying about funk. It sounds like a gross-out contest, but it's really innovation. A Japanese company has developed a line of anti-bacterial, fire-resistant clothing called J-ware, designed to be worn for weeks without danger of odor. A pair of J-ware undies are currently being tested by Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata. We wonder if the skivvies are also skid-mark resistant.

Samaritanism and Duties
Singer's famous example is taken to establish that some acts of Samaritanism are morally required. He writes, "if it is in our power to prevent something very bad from happening, without sacrificing anything morally significant, we ought, morally, to do it."

Jason wrote a nice post the other day on Peter Singer's famous drowning child thought experiment.

In Victor Hugo's great novel Les Miserables, Jean Valjean is sentenced to five years on the prison galleys for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family. It is an outrageous sentence, and Hugo intends it to enrage us and to move us to charitable action.

Will Private Charity Be Enough?
Matt Zwolinski recently discussed arguments for a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) at BHL and Libertarianism.org.

Dr Richard was extremely pleasant. he went through every detail about my wife's condition. And he did not under any circumstances give us the run around.
wonderful dr who is sadly missed at mcgees. 5 star rating in every class. come back we miss you.
give you the time of day. Highly disappointed that after ovarian cancer recurrence I could not even contact him at his new hospital. He puts on a good show with hugs and kisses. But in retrospect I realize that he was generally hard to contact. He also used office and hospital staff as a firewall. Another reviewer stated his MO was to pawn patients off to his PA and staff. I am inclined to agree with that review. Now it appears he is building his resume - so be forewarned he may be here today but gone tomorrow.
I would recommend this practice to anyone. I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Richard as my surgeon and his caring personality and beside manner was extraordinary. He put me at ease and made me feel extremely confident.
My PCP found an abnormality in my abdomen and had me get an ultrasound done. Once it was discovered that I had cysts on my ovaries, I started looking for an oncologist. I was highly recommended to see Dr. Richard from a family member. From the moment I met him and his staff, I knew he was the right doctor for me. He took care of me and my family. He was sweet and understanding and his hugs made my day. After the surgery, he told me that I had borderline tumors. I was scared that I would not be able to have anymore children at the age of 26. He was able to preserve my fertility so that my husband and I can try to have more children. I am so happy that I can finally say that I have met a doctor who I feel confident that he will take care of me. I love Dr. Richard and his staff and highly recommend him to anyone who needs him!
Dr. Richard is a wonderful caring doctor that takes his time and is very personable. He is very thorough and answers every question and concern you might have. He cured my stage iv cancer! I would highly recommend him to anyone. I actually look forward to seeing him every 6 months for my check ups and scans!
Out of the five surgeries I have had, this was by far the best experience!
I was very nervous about my diagnosis. After meeting with Dr. Richard, he answered all my questions and explained my diagnosis and went over all my options. My surgery and post-op visit went very well, thanks to Dr. Richard. He is an amazing doctor, considerate, compassionate, and his hugs are very comforting too!!! :) I highly recommend Dr. Richard,... wish all doctors were like him.
Simply put, Dr. Richard is a God-send. I can hardly express how grateful I and my family are for the quality of care he has provided to my mother. She was seen within 3 hours of calling to make an appointment. Through his examination, Dr. Richard correctly diagnosed my mother and set up pre op testing to happen immediately which enabled her to take advantage of a slot in the surgery schedule that had opened up on Thursday of the same week. He eased our fears with his knowledge and relieved our stress with his gentle wit. His follow-up care has been exceptional. He has met with my mother every morning since surgery to assess her condition. I truly can not imagine better than Dr. Richard -he is the ideal.
This doctor's MO is to pass you off to PA and the rest of the staff after surgery
Dr. Richard's knowledge, training, skill and talent speaks for itself as he performed a robotic hysterectomy for me. But, he is caring, understanding, patient and so kind. Exactly what every cancer patient needs. For me, an unexpected gift in my new reality. Simply the best, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
He knows what he is doing quite well, and is very caring and kind to his patients.
Dr. Richard is an exceptional doctor. He is very kind and helpful. When I came in to see him, I was scared and he explained that he would treat me as he would his wife or mother. He eased my fears. He did an excellent job with my laproscopic hysterectomy. I had no complications. I would recommend him and have to anyone. What a gem!!
I am in the health care profession, and this is by far one of the best physicians I have seen. You can tell that he really cares about his patients, he talks with you not at you. He answers all of your questions and he is readily available to questions & concerns after your consultation. I consider myself lucky to have found him and above all he is knowledge.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

This is a fantastic alternative if you love your peanut butter but don't want the extra fat and calories. I love adding this to things like yoghurt so it tastes extra yummy! Great taste and great protein content, but is also quite high in price. For something similar without the added sugar and salt, you can try the less expensive Protein Plus Peanut Flour which is equally as good.
Love PB2

I love PB2! I am such a peanut butter junkie, so having PB2 is great for someone like me who easily ploughs through a whole jar of peanut butter at a time. It's not oily at all like regular peanut butter (because you mix the concentrate with water), so doesn't have that addictive quality - but still hits the spot! I highly recommend PB2 for any peanut butter lover.

This is soooo creamy! I had a different brand before but this one has way better texture and the taste.
Gives a great peanut taste!

I abs loved this product! If u love the taste of peanuts, but u cant eat as much peanutbutter as u would like to (like me) this is a great product! Just blend it into ur oatmeal og yoghurt, and u have peanuttaste with way fewer calories!!
Just what it says.

I thought the flavor and texture were weird but it's just the way powdered peanut butter would be. Great option for shakes if you keep in mind it looks like it's lower in calories but you have to add more to get the full flavor. I wish they'd sell this in bigger volume. I'll burn through this container quick.

Can Christie's presidential run ever gain momentum?
Gov. Chris Christie has been tirelessly campaigning in New Hampshire and he's a frequent flier to Iowa, but he is gaining no traction with the voters in either state. Polls and national surveys also show him floundering near 10th in the crowded field of GOP presidential candidates.
