Mom turns explorations of Milwaukee parks into accessible guide
If you've sauntered through a Milwaukee County park in the last year or so, you might have seen them: an active mom and her energetic, friendly young son, often with a big camera, hiking or climbing or taking pictures.
Barbara Ali estimates that she's visited 65% to 70% of the public green spaces in Milwaukee County, adventures that she's chronicled on her blog, Milwaukee Area Parks. She's often accompanied by her son Omar, 8, who shares her love of adventure and is learning how to handle her camera. »Read Full Article
Rep's 'Whipping Man' asks what it means to be free
Milwaukee audiences are experiencing a rare, remarkable convergence of productions that examine slavery and its legacy.
The Skylight Music Theatre's"El Cimarrón" explored what freedom meant to an escaped slave in Cuba. First Stage's revival of James DeVita's "Midnight Cry," which continues through Feb. 9, dramatizes a young slave's perilous journey to freedom via the Underground Railroad. On the big screen, the film "12 Years a Slave," adapted by Mequon screenwriter John Ridley from an 1853 memoir, probes the double jeopardy of a free black man captured and sold into slavery. »Read Full Article

Listening to Lou Reed: 'Growing Up in Public'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
Released in 1980, "Growing Up in Public" marks several endings for Lou Reed. It was his last studio album for Arista; he had already begun bashing Clive Davis before departing the label, voluntarily or otherwise. It's also his last album with his late '70s touring band. Saxophonist Marty Fogel was already gone after "The Bells." Keyboardist Michael Fonfara, drummer Michael Suchorsky and other regulars were out after this one. »Read Full Blog Post
Moving day for Purple Door Ice Cream

Milwaukee Public Market offers dishes from salads to sushi
At the Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St., customers certainly can find purchases to take home, such as spices and kitchen gadgets at the Spice House, olive oils from Oro di Oliva, flowers from Lockers, even a T-shirt from Brew City Brand.
Many of the other vendors sells items to take home, too, but also food to eat on the spot. Have a look at these market vendors aside from Nehring's Family Market that sell prepared foods. »Read Full Article
Nehring's Family Market offers wood-fired source for pizzas
At the back of Nehring's Family Market in the Third Ward's Milwaukee Public Market is a 7,000-pound Renato oven. Every so often, the pizza-maker feeds it with chunks of wood, building the flames that fire the pizzas.
At 1,000 degrees in its dome, around 700 degrees on its floor, the oven produces Neapolitan-style pizzas in about 31/2 minutes, for carryout or carry-up (the market has seating for about 200 at tables on its second floor). But I think they're best enjoyed, hot and still crisp, at the counter of the Cutting Room, the bar at Nehring's. »Read Full Article

NBC's Ian Williams reports on the latest tensions emanating from North Korea.
One of North Korea's top decision-making bodies is setting guidelines that call nuclear weapons "the nation's life" that won't be traded even for "billions of dollars," The Associated Press reported.
The statement Sunday came after a plenary meeting of the central committee of the ruling Workers' Party attended by leader Kim Jong Un and other officials, the AP said.
It also followed a declaration on Saturday that it was entering a "state of war" with South Korea, the latest in a string of increasingly belligerent outbursts from the isolated state.
Sunday's statement says nuclear weapons aren't "goods for getting U.S. dollars" or a "political bargaining chip." Outside analysts have said Pyongyang raises worries over its nuclear ambitions to spur nuclear-disarmament-for-aid talks, the AP said.
David Guttenfelder / AP
As chief Asia photographer for the Associated Press, David Guttenfelder has had unprecedented access to communist North Korea. Here's a rare look at daily life in the secretive country.
It said Pyongyang will also increase work to build up the economy. Kim has made fixing the moribund economy a focus.
On Thursday the U.S. sent two nuclear-capable bombers to South Korea, where they dropped inert munitions in a military exercise. The flight sparked an angry response from the North, which declared on Friday that it was preparing rockets aimed at American bases in South Korea and the Pacific.

3M launches a new and innovative dressing for hard to heal wounds. The dressing is designed to down-regulate the MMP levels thus balancing the wound environment and accelerating healing.
Tegaderm Matrix consists of an acetate carrier impregnated with a mixture of metal ions (including zinc, calcium, potassium and rubidium) in an acid buffered hydrophilic ointment. This formula acts by reducing the gene expression for the production of MMPs and thereby redresses the MMP imbalance in chronic wounds allowing them to heal . Decreased levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 are seen in tissue fibroblasts after a period of Tegaderm Matrix treatment, these levels decrease even more as the wound heals.

The battle bridge is a secondary bridge located on Federation starships.
The Excelsior-class USS Enterprise-B had a battle bridge located on deck 19. (Star Trek Generations)
The battle bridge on Galaxy-class starships is primarily designed for the control of the stardrive section in saucer separation scenarios. Located on deck 8 of the secondary hull, the battle bridge duplicates the strategic functions of the main bridge, with command, conn, ops, and tactical stations oriented toward a main viewscreen; however, it lacks science and engineering stations. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")
The main bridge and battle bridge are connected by a dedicated emergency turbolift which can also be accessed from other decks. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "Heart of Glory") The battle bridge can also be entered by standard turbolift or through a corridor on deck 8. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Best of Both Worlds") A small captain's ready room is located on the port side of the bridge, although it is much smaller than the one off the main bridge and lacks a window. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") The battle bridge could potentially be used to control the entire docked ship in the event of damage to the main bridge, but the practice on the Enterprise-D was to coordinate recovery from Main Engineering. (TNG: "Brothers")
To keep in tune with changing technologies, the battle bridge is modular like the main bridge. The USS Enterprise-D had at least two different battle bridges installed during its lifetime. The version launched with the ship had the captain's chair in the center, with conn and ops to the front of the captain and tactical behind. Two duty stations were located at the back of the bridge, on the port and starboard rear walls. The tactical and rear stations were separated by turbolifts; the standard turbolift on the port side, and the emergency turbolift on the starboard. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Arsenal of Freedom") By the time of the second Borg incursion in 2367, the battle bridge had undergone a refit. The tactical position behind the captain had been moved to the port station, replaced by expanded information displays. The turbolift alcoves at the back of the bridge were also gone, possibly moved elsewhere. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")
Enterprise-D primary school science fair winner Patterson Supra hoped to see the battle bridge as part of the tour conducted by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 2368, but was disappointed to learn that the most exciting areas on the tour were hydroponics and astrophysics. After Patterson and two other children, Marissa Flores and Jay Gordon Graas, showed exceptional bravery during a crisis after the Enterprise-D hit several quantum filaments, Picard decided to take the group on a revised tour, starting with the battle bridge. (TNG: "Disaster")
Appendices Edit
Appearances Edit
Background information Edit
The addition of the battle bridge to the Galaxy-class layout was at the urging of concept artist Andrew Probert, while he was planning the saucer separation of the class. One concept sketch of the battle bridge was dated 23 March 1987. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 3rd ed., p. 9) A set plan for the area, dated 26 March of the same year, was created by production designer Herman Zimmerman and set designer Richard McKenzie. The set was built on Paramount Stage 9. (TNG Season 1 DVD, special feature "The Beginning")
Each time the battle bridge appeared, it did so with modifications. Despite the room appearing in only three episodes, the set was redressed for use as the bridge of other ships and miscellaneous rooms, multiple times. The set was built as the refit Enterprise bridge for Star Trek: Phase II, which later became Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (citation needed • edit) It was revealed in the sketch from 23 March that the battle bridge set was an inexpensive redress of the film Enterprise's bridge. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 3rd ed., p. 9) Indeed, this set was the Enterprise bridge in the three following motion pictures, until – like most of the motion picture sets – it was remodeled into the Enterprise-D sets for Star Trek: The Next Generation in order to cut costs. By the second season of TNG, the set had been modified to such a point that only the original structure remained, explaining the battle bridge's updated look in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" and necessitating a new bridge for the USS Enterprise-A in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. (citation needed • edit) The battle bridge set was also redressed as both the bridge of Ambassador-class USS Enterprise-C, in "Yesterday's Enterprise", and the cybernetics lab aboard the Enterprise-D in "The Offspring". ("Yesterday's Enterprise" & "The Offspring" audio commentaries, TNG Season 3 Blu-ray)
Apocryphal Edit
According to the comic "Scotty", the alternate reality USS Enterprise was equipped with a battle bridge.

So tonight begins a three-game series with the Mets. First place is on the line tonight and all week.
Tonight is also game 100. The Phillies sit at 53-46, a very borderline good team. Though their run differential stands at a stout +75, you wouldn't know it. The offense has looked bad. The pitching holds up for the most part, but shows signs of deteriorating. To be short, this is a team on the verge of destruction.
I say this in hopes I'm completely wrong, but I can't help but add the problems.
1.5-dimensional offense
So Chase Utley will knock in runs and get on base. And Ryan Howard will knock him in. But then what? Pat Burrell gets on base, but who gets him home? Pedro Feliz? One out of eight times. Geoff Jenkins? Please. Jayson Werth? Carlos Ruiz? Chris Coste? The bottom of the order reeks. Not to mention Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino haven't done much of anything with situational hitting.
Maybe they can help themselves by spreading the offense. I don't know — Ruiz in the two-hole, trying to pull the ball and hit behind the runner? Burrell in the three-hole? Still, hitting is hitting, and I'm not confident with more than half of the guys the Phils have.
Not enough starting pitching
So Cole Hamels is good. Joe Blanton? I don't know — maybe a guy with an ERA over 5.00 in the American League can translate to the National League. Kyle Kendrick and Jamie Moyer are nice back-end pieces, but you can't trust Kendrick to get the job done in a late-season game, and Moyer is Moyer. Brett Myers? Do we know he'll be effective? Clearly there are too many questions. There are no Rich Hardens and Carlos Zambranos and Ryan Dempsters. There are no assurances here outside of Hamels.
Breakdown of the bullpen
Tom Gordon went on the DL because he broke down. JC Romero has felt stiff. As has Rudy Seanez. Suddenly Joe Bisenius was on the roster. Adam Eaton is in the back of the bullpen. Clay Condrey moved up in the depth chart. Isn't this a problem? I'd like to think Lidge/Romero/Madson/Durbin will hold up all year, but the team desperately needs a contingency plan. There's a week left to get it.
Jimmy Rollins practically said the team will turn it up soon, but not now. Cole Hamels complained about getting too much time off. Pat Burrell suddenly spoke out against being taken out in games. Sure, some of these arguments are valid and correct, but it seems everything is being piled on now. Teams that self-destruct have these problems. They can't keep their mouths shut. We saw it with the Mets.
The Mets
And about those Mets. I'd like to think, like most, that they're too old and worn down and talentless to win the East. But how do they keep finding guys who can contribute past their primes? Fernando Tatis? Sure the bullpen is rough (Billy Wagner's pain could spell big trouble), but when I see them, I see an offense that can rattle off runs. I see a rotation that can head into the seventh of most games. And I see a bullpen that can piece it together just enough to win. Sound familiar? Yeah, like your 2007 Philies. Who won the East.
Painfully obvious things
And the painfully obvious things keep plaguing the Phils. Victorino flying out. Rollins grounding out. Jenkins swinging at low and away. Howard swinging at low and away. Waiting on Kendrick's changeup. Hamels giving up a solo homer or two. Romero's walks. The first inning of most games. So Taguchi. By now most of us fans know every little problem the Phils continue to encounter. And for some reason they're not fixed. They're not even recognized. Only yesterday did Charlie Manuel publicly speak out about the lack of situational hitting. Why so late? Can they see this?
Manuel, in general
Going back to dissension and even the painfully obvious, is Manuel the right man to manage this team? I dn't know. He is the right man to get a group of guys on track, but once they're on that track, he seems to never be able to reach them to the finish line. He failed with the Indians, a group of players rich with talent. Now with the Phills he has a group fo aplyers rich with talent, but they're faltering hard. A reader just e-mailed us, saying Manuel is not a leader. He doesn't take charge of the team. I agree. Once a team hits the playoffs, hits the success mark, they need an extra push to put them over the top. Sometimes it's a great trade. Most times it's the manager. A manager who can bump his team to that highest level (see Tony LaRussa, Ozzie Guillen, Jim Leyland, Bobby Cox, Joe Torre) will win championships. Manuel seems to regular, too soft, too comely. This group of players — high on talent but short on the ability to bring it together — needs a fire.
This isn't me saying, "Oh, the Phils won't win the East." It's me saying I'm exceedingly weary about this team's chances. I'm not confident at all. Not until they go on some kind of run where the offense looks crisp, pitching goes deep into games and the bullpen is in shutdown mode. They did it in May. And May seems so far away. But now they're sloping down the schedule, and they need to find it again. Can they? I don't know.

I wish Mets fans were that optimistic about their own team.
Great post, and I wish you terrible, terrible luck tonight. 😉
I was with you pretty much all the way until the part about Cholly. Phillies fans need to stop being so fickle about this guy. Decide whether he's a hero or a goat and stick with it.
Now you're back to the schtick about Manuel being "too soft." Wasn't it just weeks ago that he benched Rollins and everyone agreed that Charlie was a no-nonsense guy who wouldn't take no crap from nobody?
He's the same guy today he was when he was hired, when the Phillies won the East last year, when Jimmy got benched, and when he complained about situational hitting after Sunday's game.
So which is it? Genius or bum?
Good point, Jeffrey. I'll be honest, it's hard to say, but the more I look at the hardships, the more I see an inability to change and improve.
they just scare me to watch right now… and it doesn't mean i think they're going to fail… i've just seen it too many times to be comfortable. having them finish yearly a game or two out of the playoffs for about 5 years was enough to make me question any sort of "sure thing" with this team. let's hope blanton gives us a spark tonight and propels us to at the very least take this series because we need it.
go phils.
Couple things:
1. …. Shane Victorino should "The FLY-OUT Hawiian"
2. ….Of the 5 managers you mentiond… 4 of them are going to the Hall-of-Fame.. and Ozzie Guillen already has 1 World Series ring. Kinda unfair to judge Manuel against some of the greatest managers EVER.
3. …. Do we like Jayson Werth or not?? When he gets regular playing time, he does well.. when he sits a few games in a row, he gets rusty.. that is what happens when players platoon, and I think we need to stop holding that against them.
4. …. one of the old tricks that teams used to use, but not so much anymore is to go through the Media to send a message. Billy Wagner did it a couple months ago calling out his teammates.. and I think there is a little back-and-forth going on right now with this Phillies team. Maybe Hamels should have pitched right after the break.. but he has a history of breaking down, so they wanted to rest him more. Rollins needs to step his game up.. if you are hurt, sit. If you aren't hurt, start playing baseball.. MVP…. Burrell shouldn't be benched unless its an absolute no-brainer.. he's on 2nd and you need a faster runner… you are up a run in the 9th… etc…
Thats enough from me for right now
Totally agree, Charlie has been like this for years and now is the time the team needs a manager and he is not one. I think he has a photocopy of the lineup card that he doesn't take down.
The team needs a wakup call, someone tell them they are in a pennant race.
"Of the 5 managers you mentiond… 4 of them are going to the Hall-of-Fame.. and Ozzie Guillen already has 1 World Series ring. Kinda unfair to judge Manuel against some of the greatest managers EVER."
Of course it's fair. Manuel has been to the playoffs. He can be compared to guys who take their teams to World Series, no matter how great they are. I'm not going to compare him to Cecil Cooper.
"Do we like Jayson Werth or not?"
I think he does get rusty, absolutely. But he can't hit righties. We've always known that. How can a team operate when there are all these players sitting and starting and up and down? Nobody gets it done.
yeah werth has shown hes a platooner. he plays everyday sometimes because they cant justify sending jenkins out there. werth cant hit righties at all. its a shame because thats the only element hes really missing.
as much as we knock New York….. If Rollins and Victorino played there.. there asses would be booed like crazy for their lack of production..
and I'm REALLY surprised that people day in and day out place blame on Manuel, Jenkins, So Taguchi, Carlos Ruiz, Werth.. etc..
If we are going to be bashing players and having debates on lack of production, can we please talk about how the starters aren't playing anywhere near their potential..
Rumor has it that the reason the "Holliday and Fuentes -for- Carrasco, Marson, Happ and Victorino" trade didn't go down, was because the Phillies were not willing to part with….. SHANE VICTORINO.. If we are unwilling to move him, maybe he should think about playing better?
THEIR* asses.. my bad yo's
yeah, why would you nix the deal because of victorino? id want marson replaced and happ replaced in it. but you can work around that.
they asked for WAY too much. i want to know if donald can play. if he can, then jimmy better get his ass in gear or id send him out of her.e
Jeffrey made some good points. What you see is what you get with Cholly. The team had success (winning the division last year) in spite of or because of his managing. Tim also made a valid point in questioning whether or not Manuel's approach in managing can guide the team to make that last step to not only make the playoffs (again) but beyond. Manuel was quoted about a need for another quality starter and better situational hitting. The best the owners can come up with for Manuel is Joe Blanton. Will that be enough? As for situational hitting, the solution lies more with the team and less of a possibility from outside (owners' reluctance in mortaging the future in their futile search for a quality hitter). Concerning situational hitting, I agree with Tim… "Pedro Feliz? One out of eight times. Geoff Jenkins? Please. Jayson Werth? Carlos Ruiz? Chris Coste? The bottom of the order reeks…". Manuel is practically pleading for them to execute with RISP. That response will be crucial in the remaining 63 games.
The bottom of the order does suck. but so do shane and jimmy right now. theyre total garbage at this point. i dont know why shane is still here. and the only reason jimmy is here is because hes the mvp and its hard to trade the mvp without pissing people off
I don't think we should be calling for their heads, their trade, or their release…
But they need to step it up.. Utley, Howard, and Burrell make enough contact that if there are runners on base, they can drive them in..
Rollins .336 OBP% and Shane Vics .345 OBP%
So Victorino is 87th overall in MLB.. and Rollins isn't in the top 100…. sons of bitches are stealing money this year, getting paychecks without doing their jobs
This team is proof alone that you can't just win on talent alone. You have to produce as a team, small ball is the name of the game and we like to live and die off the longball.
Let me correct that, not longball necessarily, but individual performances. There's too much "me" and not enough "we".
1st, I think manuel should be more of a co-manager/bench coach. I think his inter-game decision making has always been atrocious. Stop taking Burrell out in the 7th or 8th in a tie game or even a close game unless it means putting a faster runner in scoring position. I watched him pinch run So Taguchi for Burrell after Burrell walked to load the bases with 2 outs when the team was down 1 run. Makes ZERO sense!
Obviously his management of the bullpen has also always been an issue. He loves setting up lefty-lefty or righty-righty matchups and it seems to burn the team a lot. Especially when a reliever is cruising thru the lineup and he decides to take them out only for his matchup to fail. I think manuel is a good locker room manager but not a good in-game manager (if that makes sense).
Overall, i am disappointed in this organizations lack of committment to winning now. Although Joe Blanton might be an improvement from Eaton. Acquiring a 5-12 pitcher with an ERA around 5 is not a move a team makes to push them to the world series. Should have pulled the trigger on Holliday too to reignite this anemic lineup even though its giving up a lot of minor leaguers (although i think all of the phillies farm teams are in last or close to last place so talent cant be that good).
I am praying that this means they will go after an ace free agent pitcher in the off season such as sabathia but ive been a phillies fan way too long to think that that will happen. i guess i just have to wait for dave montgomery to kick the bucket.
"1st, I think manuel should be more of a co-manager/bench coach. I think his inter-game decision making has always been atrocious.

That actually does make sense.
Let's not panic. This team is doing fine. While, I am not a Manuel fan, he certainly is doing a fine job to this point. My grip is Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino. They need to get on base, steal some bases and produce a few more timely hits. Utley, Howard and Burrell is a pretty darn good trio. As for the bottom of the order while not having a great year but that's why they are the bottom of the order. Overall, they are not terrible. Remember the days of Bell and Leiberthal, now that was painful! Starting pitching needs a number two starter, fhopefully Blanton works out. The bull pen is having a fine year. Look at their ERAs. So overall, the Phils are slumping right now a little but being tied for first really is nothing to complain about. Have faith and be patient!
phillies take two of three this series, build some momentum for the next few series afterwards, and win the division this season. geoff and half the people on this site turn towards self mutilation to get their masochist fix in the meantime.
Charlie never was a good judge of pitching ,EVER…He always left pitchers in too long..I dont see why he cant see that, and leave those decisions to the pitching coach……The Phills need Jimmy Rollins to Step Up..Howard,Utley,Burrell dont seem to fire this team up the way Rollins does..The bottom of the order fizzled at the same time..whats up with that?……..But I'm optomistic,the METS SUCK,and we will work it out.
I think Taguchi needs a phanton DL trip to bring up Golson. Lets see what he has, he is 24, a former 1st round pick and I think it is time for his to step up.
Chris, who are you calling masochistic? I don't think masochism is it at all, really. I think it's just trying to shut people up who have no clue what's going on in the sport of baseball.
I understand it's a long season, but isn't the objective to have your best starting pitcher start as many games as possible? Why didn't Hamels start last Friday on his normal rest, then he could have started a game against the Mets. Instead, he is missing this series and we have Brett Myers starting a game that Hamels could have. Any idea why? Let's hope Blanton pitches the rest of the year the way he did against us in Oakland…..Go Phils!!
people flipping out about an out of context, vague quote from jimmy rollins, are masochistic. people who complain about this team non-stop, even when they're winning (and don' t act like that doesn't happen around here), are absolutely masochistic. there' s intelligently analyzing the team and pointing out their problems, and then there's "fuck that player, i don't want him on the team next year! fuck that guy too! blow this team up!"
Interestingly there's a report out there that we've inquired about Nady and even more suprisingly Matt Kemp…
Mike Lieberthal era, are you kidding? His worst year as a Phil, 2001, in which he only played 34 games, he still had a 73 OPS+. He had four seasons above 100 OPS+, including 2 over 120!
He doesn't even come close to Mr. Ruiz's ineptitude!
we are flipping out because jimmy is playing poorly and hes being a douche about it.
"That actually does make sense."
TJ…Care to explain how that makes sense? Burrell's run means nothing. They are down 1 run with 2 outs and the bases loaded and burrell is on 1st. Sure enough the very next batter jenkins pops out to 2nd and the inning ends. Taguchi is up later in the game in a crucial situation and blows it obviously.
Jeepin…Do you see ruiz's numbers?? how are you going to say that lieberthal was any worse than ruiz. The guy should just stitch GIDP to the back of his jersey. he is a rally killer. and defensively feliz has been good but offensively hes been just what his career numbers would predict a .250 hitter with 20 homers. I think people saw him hit 20-22 homers/yr in sf and thought he could hit 30 in philly…not so unfortunately.
Lieberthal was a great Phil and it's disgusting the way some fans trash his name, the guy was part of this team and put his body on the line for it for a long long time and we should be wishing for Marson to follow in his footsteps.
I like Nady more than Kemp, we need guys who hit for average. Nady is one of them but I'm not sure what they would give up without it being too much.
I don't know why, but I feel like GIDP is going to launch one tonight.
Adam.. Obviously Manuel didn't think that Jenkins would pop up and then have Burrell's spot be up again before the end of the game, if this was in the 7th as you claim, especially us being the away team. Say Jenkins gets a hit, Taguchi is faster than Burrell and can make it to third on a single, possibly producing a run on another single. You have to think like Manuel did at the time rather than saying it was dumb in hindsight.
If Carlos does indeed hit a homerun tonight, I am not sure how I will celebrate, but something that rare would indeed be a cause for a celebration. If they can get four runs off Santana, they can win this puppy.
I think it's a must win, actually, if they want to take the series because I don't have much faith in Myers tomorrow.
I would go all in for Kemp. He's young, inexpensive and you could control him for awhile; which would insure them from Burrell leaving next year. But no way LA would trade Kemp. No way.
Ill go with Nady and marte. put a nice package together for the pirates there.
"inquiring" and "trying to obtain" are two different things… no chance in hell that the Dodgers give up Kemp for anything we don't want to keep
Nady's having a career year, he's playing way over his head. Kemp, on the other hand, has a ton of potential, and he's young.
Does Pedro Feliz hit Santana well?? We need him and Werth to have nice games tonight too because the top-2 can't be counted on, and I'm not feeling Utley and Howard carrying us tonight against Johan.. what kind of name is Johan anyway..
Nady would be a great fit. I always liked him when he was with the Mets and was glad he left New York. He would be nice in right field. Only 54 strikeouts and a .527 slugging percentage.
Plus the Phils would control him for next season too.
But from everything I read, they'd have to part with too much.
I think Nady sucks and the Pirates are morons if they don't trade him for whatever they can get… I hear that they are asking for crazy returns on him.
Kemp was sought by a lot of team last year.. and I want to say the Dodgers were in on the Santana talks too, but didn't want to part ways with Kemp, Loney, and Eithier ??
There are reasons why guys like Nady play for a different team every year, or 3 different teams in one year.. etc.. He's just not that good.. I really don't see him as much of an improvement to this team
i hope youre joking chase.
What a win over the Durham Bulls… haha man, what a joker. The conversations that took place when acquiring Kris Benson were similar to like, "hey man, I have a 25 gallons of expired milk, i'll give them to you for free. they're only expired by like 3 days." "sure, why not."
Yeah of all the injured guys to take a chance on they picked him.
Kemp is not coming here. The Dodgers are the hardest team to trade with. There was an article about how Ned Coletti should be fired becasue of his unwillingness to deal. He has made great signings though.

I don't think the Mets are as old as people think. Phillies are actually older.
Avg Ages:
Starters: Mets 31.6, Phils 29.9
SPitchers: Mets 29.0, Phils 30.0
RelPitchers: Mets 30.6, Phils 32.2
Bench: Mets 29.9, Phils 33.8
Overall: Mets 30.4, Phils 31.3
Maybe living in New York is more stressful and they just look older.
I stick to my March comments. Trade Howard or Rollins and get pitching pitching pitching pitching. I don't know who is out there anymore, if anyone, but you never know.
The Phillies dont have a good offense.
Name all the guys on this team that have a .300 batting average.
Name all the guys on this team that have over 1.000 OPS.
Don't cheat.
Rob, don't forget Andrew Jones
Jamie Moyer and Tom Gordon bring our averages up about 3 years in those categories.
TJ….very true. Too bad the Mutts still dont have Julio Franco.
VonHayes – I believe those numbers are slightly skewed by the fact that Jamie Moyer is 45 and So Taguchi is 38 – And considering that he is pitching like he's 30 its slightly unfair to use that logic. I'd be willing to guess that the Mets have far more players who are in their 30's just not anyone quite as old. I'm not concerned with age as long as players are contributing and staying healthy. The Mets really haven't had that consistently from their elder statesmen.
But that does shed some light on the fact that the Phils team is not as young as the would lead you to believe…
Quickly name me hitters who bat over .300 on the Angles. Or have an OPS over 1000.
Or the Mets for that matter.
Does anyone know when Carasco is due up? Start of '09? And are his numbers good in the minors this year?
I dont obsess over the Angels or Mets, so I dont really know. Just trying to make the point that we basically have an offense of guys who are playing well below their average year.
Dobbs is over .300 and Burrell is the only guy with a good OPS…..1.000 on the dot.
The only way Kris Benson will help the Phillies this year is if we can package him in a trade.
trade? ahahahahahahahahahahaha
i dont think theres any team at all that wants kris benson
Age may not matter, I just think the Mets are quickly discounted for being old by Martinez and Delgado, who I assume will be gone next year. Overall, they are pretty middle of the road. Remember, this is just the active 25-man roster.
Mets over age 30, 12
Phils over age 30, 14
So its now or never for both teams, because the Marlins only 7 guys over 30 (I am just kidding)
Here's the page on Carrasco if you're interested. There really isn't a timetable on him, it's really just in how he develops. The Phillies are taking it slow with him, but he's still very young (21) for Double-A and on his current pace should probably debut in late 2009 if needed and if not possibly as late as the beginning of 2010, unless the pitching continues to suck in which case he'd probably get called up early next year.
probably would have helped if I included the link there….
That is counting the ages listed by the Mets as correct… Carlos Beltran is really 41 years old.. Delgado is 57 years old… and Jose Reyes is 74 years old
Anyone else going to be at the game tonight? I'll be in the cheap, cheap, cheap seats but I'll be there nonetheless. Go Phils!!
Don M. – Thanks. At last someone who can see things clearly.
The Astros just traded for Randy Wolf. What the hell is Wade doing down there? Trying to acquire as many ex-phillies as possible? He's clueless. I hear he's looking to bring Trais Lee and Omar Daal out of retirement.
Ruiz, Coste, Jenkins, Feliz (who has done better than all of them), even Dobbs (who has shown that he is NOT an everyday player) – the bottom of this lineup needs to be revamped. C'mon Cholly, c'mon Pat – bring that kid up from the minors and let him catch. What freaking harm can it do us at this point? Hell, my wife can GIDP as well as Ruiz!
True that if just 2 out of our big 3 were playing close to their potential we would have probably 3, maybe 4 more wins. But like what was said earlier, every fan knows what this lineup has to offer, what to expect. From the 6th spot on in the lineup, N A D A.
Let's ponder the season that Hamels is having for a sec. This man has 7 games in which he has given up 3 runs (only 1 time) or less and has all of 3 losses to show for it. He has 4 ND's and a 2.08 ERA for those 7 games. If there was some semblance of run support behind the wonderkind – he would be hoisted as the premier pitcher in the NL with probably 15 maybe 16 wins and 3 losses.
Bring up the kid from the minors, please!
Did I say I miss Aaron Rowand?
Get over Aaron Rowand, and enough with the what ifs. Marson isn't coming up this year, Ok? Ruiz can call a game with the best of them, and as previously stated many, many, many times beore, who would notice that Ruiz sucked if the rest of our offense produced. I'm not gonna point a finger at anyone in the organization as the scapegoat. This is a team game, we aren't playing like a team. I think the players got caught up in their egos when they had the division lead. They felt that they had done enough and now it was time to look good. The Mets started closing in and Howard caught fire, but we can't win games with individual performances, see Ryan Howard's 2 rbi game against the Marlins. We lose 3-2 in extras after Cole gives up 2 in 8 innings. This team needs a slap in the face, something needs to happen to get these guys back to reality and make them realize that it's time to play baseball. Give the pitchers some run support! We have lost so many close games this year even with our bullpen cleaning up messy starts. What we need is another bat to kick our offense in the ass and tell them to giddy up or our offense to wake the fuck up.
I agree with everything you said 110% TJ. Probably the most thought out and intelligent post made on here all season.
Well said TJ. In fact I'm ready to go 3 for 4 tonight with a bomb myself.

It's the most STUPID song I've EVER, like EVER heard.
However, strange enough, I stupidly like it.
Dunno how exactly to explain it. And I am a girl, so those Korean girls do not appeal me. (to draw it clear)
Sure they don't young miss, sure they don't >_>

Taken from wikipedia.
The song talks about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild." The song's refrain "오빤 강남 스타일 (Oppan Gangnam style)" has been translated as "Big brother is Gangnam style", with Psy referring to himself; "Oppa" is a Korean expression used by females to refer to an older male friend or older brother.
Don't be a smartarse.

Take it to VM's then? You posted it on a thread for everyone to see and comment on, if I was defending you, then you wouldn't mind, but it's him and you don't like him.

and im not going to argue with you
bcuz you are one of those who jump out of topic to make them selves look smart
who cares if it's oppa or oppan ,im asking what you think about the song ....i didnt ask you to correct me
All I am going to say is, People need to stop making stupid people famous.
It's old already :D
Wrong section and it's stupid as hell.
I'm not into the craze like some people, but I like it. It's weird, new, and just random as hell.
I like it 'cuz Hyuna is in it
A great song?
It humiliated music once again
I find it pretty catch it, I was at work, and it was on Fox. I started bobbing my head to it, then I came home and found it on Youtube and listened to it for about thirty minutes. I personally like it, it's entertaining as a music video. As for just the song, ummm....it's probably 6 out of 10 for my total love of music, I listen to most types of music and this one reminds me of "Party Rocking" it's just something to blast at a party to get people dancing, that's all and it's for little kids. But honestly people look at it differently as we all have different tastes of music. I don't understand the song at all except I keep thinking that I hear something about sexy ladies and hey, that's all I need to hear lol jk
The music video keeps me entertained with the bright colors, crazy dancing and pretty women. He hit all aspects with it and it blew up fast. I mean, I'm not trying to convert you all into liking it at all, I'm just saying what I like about it.
I love it,and I don't always drop everything I do but I think it's catchy. I disagree with everyone who says it's sh*t.. They have millions of people who don't speak Korean who're in love with the song. Much respect from me... It's actually teaching me Korean "taje munta inkatuja muna oiya... >.> Yeah Total WIN!
Thanks to Gangnam Style, I'm into K-Pop music now.
Agreed c: !! Soooo into Four Minute now... still have no idea what they're saying. But K-Pop rocks!
Umm, Gangnam style had a great lifetime, opened many eyes to K-pop. But now its dead >_< R.I.P. Gangnam Style, R.I.P. its singer.
PS: Goodnight.

Sale Ad Alert 03/2008
Fairmont Police are advising residents of another twist on a fraudulent check scam that has surfaced more frequently over the last year. Victims of this particular scam are exposed when they post their personal items for sale. The postings could be anywhere, such as on-line shopper pages, EBay or auction sites, auto-trader networks (boats, ATV, snowmobile) and other classified advertisements both printed and on-line.
The scam occurs when the seller is contacted by a suspect about the item for sale. Sometimes, the seller will just receive a check in the mail with instructions how to complete the transaction. The check is always for an amount greater than the asking price of the item for sale. Usually, instructions are included that ask the victim to cash the check, keep the purchase price portion and then wire or send the rest on to a third party. Once deposited or cashed, the check comes back later through banking channels as fraudulent. This often takes many days to detect. The seller becomes responsible for the full amount, including any money wired back to the fraudulent purchaser.
One such report received by the Fairmont Police Department in recent weeks was a complaint of a resident trying to sell a pickup truck for $3,600. The seller received a cashier's check in mail for $4,600 from a bank in Chicago. Along with the check were instructions to cash the check, keep the payment amount, and wire the excess $1,000 for delivery to a person in Ohio. In this circumstance the seller was suspicious and called the bank discovering that the cashier's check was fraudulent prior to deposit.
Another incident had the victim trying to sell a pet on a free internet classified add. The pet was listed for $400.00. The victim was contacted by email and then received a check for $3,500.00. They were instructed to keep $500.00 and wire the $3,000.00 to the person they had arranging the shipping of the pet. The check was counterfeit, but they had already wired the money so they were out $3,000.00. The seller was required to make payment to the bank for the full amount of the counterfeit check.
The Fairmont Police Department urges citizens to be ever cautious when accepting unsolicited offers or checks from a person they do not know. If a resident has doubts about the validity of a check or wire transfer request, please consult with your local bank. Also, understand that a credible bank's name can be duplicated, so it is advisable to work with your own banker to determine the authenticity of checks you receive.

LO will be six months this week, and she's been showing all the signs that she's ready for solids. In most of the reading I've done, they recommend doing it earlier in the day as not to disrupt sleep patterns and also to wait about an hour after nursing. However, I work full time so evenings are really the only daily time that I have time to sit and work with her, and we often only have an hour or so before she falls asleep.
Mom's who work, did you use the evening feeding for introducing foods? Did you wait an hour after nursing, or nurse and then try foods at the same "sitting"? Did you find it disrupted sleep? (Although, she still often wakes 2, sometimes 3 times a night, so really how much more disrupted can I get )
I usually nurse when we get home around 6, and then if she hasn't fallen asleep by 7:30, will usually nurse again and then she goes to bed. I'm pumping 4x during work and she takes 4 bottles of 5 oz each, so overall eats about 8 - 9 times a day. Thanks!

First repairs to Plainfield Town Hall to be done by year's end
Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo Plainfield Select Board Chairman Dave Strong, right, and contractor Ernie Parrish of Green Line Builders in Calais examine some of the structural issues needing attention in the attic of the Plainfield Town Hall on Thursday. A group of officials and others toured the historic building to see what work is needed.
PLAINFIELD Though the Town Hall will not reopen in time for town meeting in March, repair work on the historic building is churning along and the first part should be completed before the end of the year.
Select Board Chairman Dave Strong led a tour of the repairs on the 150-year-old building for the rest of the Select Board and Caitlin Corkins with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation on Thursday.
Corkins was getting her first look at the building, having joined the division in September to head the states historic preservation grant program. She was also there to rewrite the agreement the state had with the town because more repairs were needed than initially thought.
The state had given the town $19,600 in a matching grant for repairs to the halls roof and floor and to properly support the balcony. Strong said it was discovered another floor beam had rotted out that would cost an extra $2,000 to repair. There is enough money in the towns budget to cover the repair, Strong said.
Work on the roof was needed because it was not supported correctly and has shifted about a foot toward the back of the building. The contractor in charge of the roof repairs, Ernie Parrish with Green Line Builders of Calais, said he expects the work to be completed by Dec. 31.
From there the project will focus on the floors and securing the balcony. The balcony was built by attaching it to the roof and has caused the roof to sag. The solution will be to build supporting posts from the foundation, up through the main floor and to the balcony.
The next phase of the repairs will focus on the basement. Strong said there are mold and drainage issues that need to be addressed.
The town was awarded a matching grant of $28,000 from the Vermont Arts Council in August to fix the basement. Strong said the grant will need to be approved at town meeting in March. A plan on how to attack the problems in the basement will also have to be voted on.
The town will have to come up with $28,000 of its own, since the arts council funding is a matching grant. Strong said he is the process of raising that money. He sees the building more as a performance space than a municipal building, so Strong said he will be appealing to the arts community to help raise the money.
Corkins said the sooner the basement is fixed, the better.
Dealing with the drainage problem is vital, otherwise ... whatever they put in is going to rot, she said.
Strong had previously said that once the roof is fixed and the mold and drainage problems are remedied the hall can be reopened.
The town has received legislative approval to hold its next town meeting at Twinfield Union School in Marshfield. Towns, by law, must hold town meetings within their borders, unless permission to do otherwise is granted.

These are really cute. I plan to use them for my grandson's 1st birthday party invitations. The theme is going to be little monsters. I was happy to find them on scrapbook.com as no one else seems to carry them.

It's easier than you think to eat well and save money. With March marking National Nutrition Month, here are eight tips to live by, according to U.S. News & World Report.
8. Make your own "convenience foods"
You're paying a lot more per ounce for the convenience of foods like salsa, hummus, peanut butter and jam than you ever would for fruit or chickpeas. Make your own to save money and eat better if you have the time and experience.
7. Cook up wilted vegetables
Other options for veggies that have gotten a little too soft? Throw them into soups, pastas and casseroles, since they're going to become tender in the cooking process anyway.
6. Saute and save wilted vegetables
Got a few veggies that have gone soft, but you don't want to eat them that night? Saute them, then throw them back in the fridge or freezer to give them new life.
5. Take inventories of your refrigerator
A few times a week or before you go grocery shopping, scan your fridge for what's about to go bad and pull those items to the front. Make a plan to use them soon in a meal.
4. Get to be friends with your freezer
Lasagna, soup, fruits, veggies, meat -- freeze it all when it's on sale at the store or after you cook up big batches.
3. Spice up your leftovers
If there's not quite enough food leftover to make an entire meal, remember you can use yesterday's steak scraps to add some protein to your lunch salad.
2. Cook once for the entire week
Try cooking something big once or twice each week, then revamping it for the following days.
1. Embrace your pantry (or food cupboards)
Load your pantry or food cupboards with healthy products that have a long shelf life, such as canned fruits and vegetables, whole-wheat pasta and dry beans and lentils.

It is possible that the main title of the report Motor Neuron Disease is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Motor neuron disease comprises a group of severe disorders of the nervous system characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons (neurons are the basic nerve cells that combine to form nerves). Motor neurons control the behavior of muscles. Motor neuron diseases may affect the upper motor neurons, nerves that lead from the brain to the medulla (a part of the brain stem) or to the spinal cord, or the lower motor neurons, nerves that lead from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body, or both. Spasms and exaggerated reflexes indicate damage to the upper motor neurons. A progressive wasting (atrophy) and weakness of muscles that have lost their nerve supply indicate damage to the lower motor neurons.

Pattern of Violations
Given the complexity of coal production and the enormous number of regulations mining companies must obey, it is not surprising that some rack up large numbers of safety violations. But most companies move swiftly to eliminate hazards once they are made aware of them.
Unfortunately, few do not.
A tiny minority, as West Virginians have learned to our sorrow, actively work to circumvent state and federal mine safety inspectors.
U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration officials say pattern violators of safety and health rules will not be tolerated. To that end, MSHA is unveiling new rules to make it more difficult for repeat violators to avoid paying fines and possibly having their mines shut down.
This is good and a long-needed weapon to help ensure the safety of miners will be a company's first concern.
Again, companies that work in good faith with state and federal regulatory agencies should not be targeted in the crackdown. But the new POV – for "pattern of violations" rules – should be enforced harshly against those who would endanger coal miners.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was on lockdown after a gunman was reported on the campus Saturday morning, but police called the report "unfounded" after searching the campus, according to Boston TV station WCVB.
The man was reported in a campus building carrying a long rifle and wearing body armor, prompting an alert to the campus community. The alert advised people to stay indoors and report any suspicious activity to police, according to the AP.
After searching the campus, Cambridge police said they found no sign of a gunman, according to WCVB.

2 Vermont troopers, man shot in LeicesterApril 06,2014
Staff and wire reports
Vermont State Police said they received a 911 call shortly before 3 a.m. today from a woman who said that someone had entered their home and shot her husband while they were in bed.
State Police said they responded to Lake Dunmore Road in Leicester and the victim was taken to Porter Hospital in Middlebury and then transported to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, according to police. He is listed in stable condition, police said.
State Police said they developed information that led them to the home of Timothy Foley, 47, located directly across Lake Dunmore Road from the residence. Police said Foley would not come out of the house and one trooper was able to speak with Foley on the phone from a neighbor's home but he still wouldn't come out.
Trooper set up a perimeter around Foley's house and at some point shots were fired from within the house at troopers who were behind a tree in the front yard. One of the troopers was hit in the head with shotgun pellets and another trooper returned fire with patrol rifle to allow the injured trooper to get to safety, police said.
The second trooper was then shot at and also hit in the head with shutgun pellets, according to police.
Both troopers were able to get to safety and were taken by other troopers to Porter Hospital. One trooper was treated and released and the other was taken to Fletcher Allen for more treatment, police said. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
After the shooting, a state police hostage negotiation team member, speaking on the phone from the Rutland barracks, was able to convince Foley to leave his home and surrender.
Foley was taken to the New Haven barracks and is now in police custody.
Charges are pending and the investigation is continuing.
Detectives from the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation responded to investigate both shooting incidents.
Members of the Crime Scene Search Team responded to process the scene. A search warrant was obtained for Foley's residence.
The Addison County state's attorney responded and is working closely with detectives.
At this time, the names of the male victim and troopers are being withheld per protocol.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

TV Cream
What They Said About Volume One
"The book is a compelling read... this is more than just a dry history of fandom. I can't recommend this book highly enough."
Michael Cregan, Doctor Who Magazine
"Honestly, it's brilliant."
TV Cream
"This is a veritable Aladdin's cave of material"
Christian Cawley, Kasterborous
"A very sweet, personal look back at one man's teenage years."
Ian Berriman, SFX magazine
"I am beyond excited at the prospect of Volume 2. Bring it on!"
Paul Mount, Starburst magazine
"Some things are almost too lovely to be written about."
John Williams, Tachyon TV
"My producer and I really enjoyed flicking through this."
Paul O'Grady, Radio 2
"It's phenomenal!"
Shaun Lyon, Gallifrey One
"I adore it."
Graham-Kibble White, TV & media journalist
"I love what you've done with it."
Richard Bignell, Doctor Who historian
"I love fan history like this."
Paul Cornell, tv, fiction and comics writer
"This is the best Dr Who book ever. Fascinating, funny, uplifting and heartbreaking. BUY IT!"
Gary Gillatt, writer and editor, Doctor Who Magazine
"Not only essential reading...but beautifully written. You have to read these books."
Gareth Roberts, tv series writer
"A truly stunning piece of work."
Clayton Hickman, writer and artist
Finally had the chance to sit down last night and enjoy reading the new volume. And how very lovely to be transported back so brilliantly to the days when I was growing up with "Doctor Who" and Tom Baker was just taking over from Jon Pertwee - I'd have been about nine or ten years old then, and that's just coming to the end of the potent six to eleven year old period where "Doctor Who" has captured your heart and mind and seems to burns brightest in your heart. So seeing contemporary newsletters and magazines with news of poster magazines and Weetabix figures and Blackpool Exhibitions and "World of Horror" was quite potently nostalgic.
It's also a wonderful reminder of the most things change, the more they stay the same. I've been reading many fanzines from the 1970s of late, and it really is like having a slow, hard copy of the internet in your hands at times. The same opinions, the same debate, the same creativity ... and the same enthusiasm. But there's still something very special about these "pre-electronic" zines - knowing the fiddly lining up of letraset, the linear flow of words and ideas from the typewriter without the benefit of spall-chuck, and in Keith's case the hours and hours of hand writing mailing labels! And somehow it's the time-consuming, pen-sapping, finger-numbing dedication that gives an extra aura to the trailblazing nature of these publications.
A very happy couple of volumes to be whafted back to the dawn of my time in fandom. And a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in the show and its following.

June 23, 2011 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — With glowing words of praise and stunning slide images depicting their moments in the sun (and rain), Sullivan West's spring sports athletes, including a cadre of talented seniors, were honored at the school's final sports awards presentation on June 16. High school principal Margy Tenbus congratulated the athletes, including the seniors, many of whom had participated in sports for the past six years. "Our students are the best. They are the most ambitious, athletic and academically motivated," she said.
Athletic director David Franskevicz commended Ryan Alsdorf and Gabrielle Humleker, the two OCIAA Scholar Athlete honorees, along with the boys track team, the softball team and the girls golf team for being NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete teams for their cumulative GPAs of 90 percent or better.
Following the presentation of trophies to the two most deserving members from each team, the night's most coveted awards were bestowed upon a select group of seniors.
The following awards capped off the night: the Coaches Award (Female), Gabrielle Humleker; Coaches Award (Male), Michael Durkin; The Milt Gaebel Awards, Jillian Fife and Ryan Alsdorf; and the Most Valuable Senior Athletes, Rianne Erlwein and Jeremy DeGori.
The highlight of the evening is the awarding of the Billy Moran Scholarship, created in memory of William "Billy" Moran of Hortonville, a student of Delaware Valley Central School and later Union College who was an outstanding athlete, scholar and citizen. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Billy's untimely and tragic death that resulted from being the victim of a hit-and-run driver while on a spring training baseball trip in Daytona Beach Florida on April 1, 1981.
Each year, Billy's lifelong friend Brent Rosenberger awards the scholarship, created by Billy's family and friends, to a senior who best represents Billy's attributes of impeccable athleticism, scholarship and citizenship. This year's winner is Gabrielle Humleker. In addition to receiving the $2,500 dollar scholarship, Humleker's name will be added to the plaque that lists the former recipients of the coveted honor.
