OSU concert bandmates, 1954
The Columbus Dispatch - December 03, 2013 03:32 PM
The Dispatch Librarians' "Did You Know?" series recently reported that the Columbus region has more than 50 college and university campuses.
That tidbit reminded me of the many Dispatch Archives photos that show campus life in our area through the decades.
I like this particular moment in time. Ohio State's publicity department sent it out in 1954 to feature some members of the Concert Band. Our archives acquired it, and now we can bring it back to life online.
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- Twelve northern Ohio students are members of the Ohio State University's 85-piece Concert Band, which will appear at Bay Village High School, March 23, 1954.
They are (left to right, front row) Rita Hucik, Maple Heights; Nancy Klose, Garfield Heights; Pat Richard, Euclid; and Don Kucera, Garfield Heights; (second row): Don Plesnicar, Euclid; Jim Bassichis, Cleveland Heights; Dan Nawrowcki, Garfield Heights; and Dan Sable, Cleveland Heights; (third row) Marvin Gale, Cleveland Heights; Don Winkelman, Painesville; George Marshall, Bay Village; and Melvin Ponzi, Painesville.

We spent a week there. 5 women. The apartment is really well equipped and the distance to the sea is a stone's throw!
Cleanliness and the interiors are just super!
I am a very critical traveler, but I found nothing negative :-)
Sehr zu empfehlen!
Wir waren eine Woche dort. 5 Frauen. Die Wohnung ist wirklich super ausgestattet und die Entfernung zum Meer ist ein Katzen Sprung!
Sauberkeit und die Innenausstattung sind einfach super!
Ich bin ein sehr kritischer Urlauber, habe aber nichts negatives gefunden :-)
Very nice, well-kept house / garden. Ideal for families with children as the property is completely closed. There is a very large stone slabs space - ideal for playing. The house is situated in a cul de sac. Parking is moderately present. The neighbors friendly and quiet. The place is relaxed, very clean !!! and there are many Spanish citizens. A couple of very good restaurants, a grocery store with fresh fish / meat counter, hardware store, tobacco shop are available in town.
Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Haus/Garten. Ideal für Familien mit Kindern, da das Grundstück komplett geschlossen ist. Es gibt einen sehr grossen Steinplatten Platz - ideal zum Spielen. Das Haus liegt in einer Sackgasse. Parkplätze sind massig vorhanden. Die Nachbarn freundlich und ruhig. Der Ort ist entspannt, sehr sauber!!! und es gibt viele spanische Einwohner. Ein paar sehr gute Restaurants, ein Supermarkt mit Frisch-Fisch/Fleisch-Theke, Haushaltswarenladen, Tabakgeschäft sind im Ort vorhanden.
Very nice accommodation and property if you're looking pure relaxation. We loved it because it was exactly what we were looking for. But if you want every evening enjoy the nightlife, it is too far from it.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft und Anwesen wenn man die pure Entspannung sucht . Uns hat es super gefallen , weil es genau das war was Wir gesucht haben . Möchte man allerdings jeden Abend sich ins Nachtleben stürzen , liegt es zu weit ab davon .
The apartment is well equipped, we did not miss anything! The location is perfect for excursions and all the beautiful beaches ringsrum.
We also have wonderful days spent in beautiful apartment with sea bathing and barbecues outside the house. It's wonderfully quiet there and wonderful atmosphere. The perfect holiday, we felt at home and would thoroughly recommend it.
Das Apartment ist hervorragend ausgestattet, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt! Die Lage ist perfekt auch für Ausflüge und zu all den wunderschönen Stränden ringsrum.
Wir haben auch herrliche Tage im hübschen Apartment verbracht mit Baden im Meer und Grillen vorm Haus. Es ist herrlich ruhig dort und wunderbare Atmosphäre. Der perfekte Urlaub, wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und können es nur weiterempfehlen.
Quite relaxed finca in the countryside, surrounded by nature. Very straightforward. Car definitely makes sense. We had a delightful time!
Ganz entspannte Finca auf dem Lande, mitten in der Natur. Sehr unkompliziert. Auto auf jeden Fall sinnvoll. Wir hatten eine herrliche Zeit!

Hi first,
Thanks for the almost perfect Majorca stay (unfortunately 1day little sun, but otherwise 100% super :-)). The team of Silvia & Sabrina were very friendly and helpful. The Finca really great, everything clean and tidy and very nice, the owner is very accommodating and friendly. Think this property will once again be our home.
Only the last address specified by Wimdu itself was wrong, but a quick call to the team of Silvia and Sabrina and whoosh everything was ok.
Hallo erst Mal,
vielen Dank für den nahezu perfekten Mallorcaaufenthalt (leider 1Tag nur wenig Sonne, doch sonst 100% super :-) ). Das Team von Silvia & Sabrina waren sehr freundlich und hilfbereit. Die Finca echt super, alles sauber und ordentlich und sehr schön, der Besitzer sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Denke diese Finca wird wieder einmal unser Domizil werden.
Einzig die letzte Adressangabe von Wimdu selbst war falsch, doch ein kurzer Anruf beim Team von Silvia und Sabrina und schwups war alles wieder ok.
We stayed at the Can Pastilla for one week in May this year. The apartment is very well located near to the airport and very good proximity eg. to the capital Palma. Views from apartments balcony are stunning and we really enjoyed sitting there in the eavnings. We would of appreciated beach towels, information about busses and where to empty trashes. There was no wifi, I think it should be a standrd these days. Overall very pleasant stay.

Freedom New Mexico
President Barack Obama has appointed a worthy, even inspirational woman to be the country's next surgeon general.
Dr. Regina Benjamin founded the Bayou La Batre rural health clinic to serve an Alabama fishing village of 2,500. She has a refreshingly old-fashioned approach to her work, treating any and all patients regardless of ability to pay. The clinic was devastated by Hurricane George in 1998 and again by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. She has rebuilt the clinic and continued to serve those who need medical services.
If we must have a surgeon general, Dr. Benjamin is a worthy choice. Whether we must have one is a question that should be raised, especially as President Obama is promising — and, as a Congressional Budget Office report suggests, apparently failing — to try to squeeze unnecessary health care spending out of the budget.
The surgeon general's office has its roots in the Marine Health Service, which ministered to merchant seamen, and the Civil War, which accounts for the archaic-sounding title and the surgeon general's quasi-military uniform. The actual functions of the office, beyond heading something called the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, a 6,000-member group of health professionals who are on-call in the event of a public health emergency, are rather vague.
In practice, the surgeon general has evolved into something of a national scold: Use condoms to ward off AIDS, eat your peas, don't smoke tobacco, don't get too fat.
A glance at the office's Web site shows the acting surgeon general has recently visited Nicaragua, celebrated World Blood Donor Day, promoted a physical fitness month with a press release and announced public service announcements to encourage healthy lifestyles.
With all due respect, this country has more than its share of official and unofficial national scolds. There's no real need to have the taxpayers pay for one with an anachronistic title and no real duties.
We wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's medical correspondent whose name was floated as a possible surgeon general a few months ago, figured he would have more real influence doing regular reports on TV than as a government official.
Dr. Benjamin no doubt has already done more good by serving her community in Alabama than she will do in a four-year term as surgeon general.
President Obama seems to have no real idea about how to deliver on his oft-repeated promise to expand government responsibility for health care and simultaneously reduce overall spending. He could have made a promising symbolic gesture by abolishing the unnecessary office of surgeon general.

Seven casinos proposed for upstate NY
ALBANY, NY — Governor Andrew Cuomo has revived the possibility of a full Las Vegas-style casino or two coming to the Catskills with his State of the State address. Speaking on January 9, Cuomo proposed a total of seven such casinos, with phase one encompassing three facilities, which would be located somewhere "upstate," but specifically not in New York City.
The governor said that 50 million visitors per year visit the city, and casinos would be a way to lure some of those visitors to travel upstate. He said because of the natural resources upstate, once the visitors experience upstate, they will return.
The governor's remarks prompted this statement from Senator John Bonacic: "I am pleased the governor has highlighted destination casino gaming, which is a key part of potential economic growth in our region. I am sponsoring the governor's proposed constitutional amendment on casino gaming. I look forward to seeing this long-sought-after form of entertainment finally happen in the Catskills.
"Like the governor, I personally have no need to see a casino located in New York City and would prefer a total of two in Sullivan and Ulster counties. Ultimately though, I want no 'poison pills' in the casino legislation. I am supportive of the rights of local communities to enact and amend zoning laws to permit or prohibit gaming. I will work to ensure that one of the first three casinos, if not two, are in the Catskills."
Other politicians also reacted positively to the casino proposal. Sheldon Silver, speaker of the assembly, in the past has been opposed to casinos, but now supports them if they are kept out of "densely populated areas," such as New York City.
At least one other politician was pleased that, at least in phase one, there would be no casino in the city. Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz of Brooklyn issued a press release praising the governor's plan, saying, "This is great news for New York State, which would benefit from the more than $1 billion in economic activity that could be generated by casino gaming, and for our residential communities here in the city that dreaded the potential negative impact of gambling venues on our neighborhoods," he said.
Cymbrowitz, who is chairman of the Committee on Drug Abuse and Alcoholism, spoke at a press conference sponsored by the organization Stop the Coney Island Casino.
The owner of the local racino, Mighty M Gaming in Monticello, said it is moving forward regardless of what happens with the casino constitutional amendment. Charlie Degliomini, executive vice president of Empire Reports, issued a statement saying, "No matter the ultimate outcome regarding expanded gaming, Empire Resorts and EPR Properties continue to make significant progress with the Town of Thompson on developing a destination resort at the site of the former Concord Resort, where we anticipate gaining site plan approval soon. Our focus is on creating over 1,000 good jobs as soon as possible in the Catskills."
The state legislature passed a constitutional amendment last year to allow limited casino gambling in the state. In order to become law, the legislature must pass it again this year, and the amendment must be approved by voter referendum in November.

Agree with you re. Facebook. Some of my mates posts shares and likes that make them look like right idiots when I know they aren't IRL. There seems to be lots of mushy, sycophantic ###### being shared around, e.g., here is a post of a cute fluffy rabbit, like and share if you love your mother etc.
Fbook is now overrun by deluded individuals who consider their daily motions somehow worthy of comment. For a first time user this may be amusing, for myself today was the day to shut my account. Even observing the village idiots has had it's day. It was nice to catch up with my old school mates of '85 but unfortunately the class of 2013 are just as sad as they were then.
Twitter is even worse, just a short-hand version so even the illiterate get a go. Full of mis-information, gossip, bullying, bigotry, lies, defamation, child groomers, the odd joke and, if you're lucky, an amazing insight. I just don't have the time. Unless someone comes up with a definitive "you've been framed on the internet", I think I've done my time with social networking.
I've long worked out that my trusted networks are the only ones worth having and most of the people in mine have switched off fbook, etc. Sometimes good old fashioned funny people are far better appreciated in company than taking your jokes via text or twitter.
The other thing is that once the government gets it's act together, the internet will be useful for nothing but paying bills.
Twitter is interesting that your experience is very much dependent on who you follow. If someone gets on your ####, unfollow them. After a while you'll get a good blend of people who you like who are interesting and people you don't like but still have interesting things to say.

You have visited apartments north Dallas and made your choice. At this point, your landlord or the property manager will have to review your application for tenancy. Each complex will have its guidelines in determining whether you are fit to be allowed to move in. Apartments in northern Dallas will probably check four areas including you criminal records, income, rental history/ broken leases and your credit history.
The first thing that all your landlords will check is your income. Most require that your net income be over triple the expected rent. If you choose an apartment whose rent is $1,259 per month, you will be supposed to prove that your minimum monthly income is $3,777...Read More

The Transportation Safety Administration is investigating after a woman claims one of its workers left a note in her luggage urging her to "get (her) freak on."
Jill Filipovic, a blogger at Feministe.us, discovered the note after landing in Dublin on Sunday.
"Just unpacked my suitcase and found this note from TSA," she tweeted. "Guess they discovered a 'personal item' in my bag. Wow."
Filipovic said she had packed a sex toy in her suitcase, and while she initially laughed at the note, she told Fox News she's now "pretty disturbed" and would likely file a complaint when she returns to the U.S.
"I hope they do see the complaint, they'll look into it and remind their staff that going through people's personal belongings is a responsibility that should be treated with some modicum of professionalism," she told ABC News.
Filipovic tweeted a picture of the note on which, alongside the official form, someone had scrawled "GET YOUR FREAK ON GIRL" in big capital letters.
In a statement to Fox News, TSA officials said there was no evidence to suggest one of its agents was involved but "takes all allegations of inappropriate conduct seriously and is investigating this claim."

How To Look Perfectly Gorgeous In Photos And Perfectly Gory For Halloween Parties: Singapore Media Academy Makeover Extremes Workshop
(Please note that the workshop dates have been changed to 29 & 30 May 2014)
The next worst thing after looking like a ghost bride in your wedding photos is to have your entourage of girlfriends looking like ghost bridesmaids in your wedding photos.
It didn't happen to me – I wasn't the bridesmaid nor a guest – but my friend was one of the bridesmaids and those photos never saw the light of day after the wedding.
Can you imagine a group of seven girls with faces as white as ghost/sheet/snow/toothpaste/putu mayam smiling and hugging the bride in all the photos? Funny thing is, it wasn't a DIY job, they actually someone to do the bridesmaids' makeup. I was like @[email protected]
If I were the photographer, my heart would be torn between taking photos of everyone at the wedding and trying to avoid these girls with distasteful white cast. LOL!
Yup, white cast is the term for the ghostly effect you see on other people (or maybe yourself! I have been there HAHAHA!) in photos. It is the UV filters in your sunscreen that make your face paler than your neck, look streaky or leave a white residue on your skin that shines even through the most opaque of foundation.
There are, of course, plenty of tips on how to avoid/minimize the white cast, and at the Singapore Academy Makeover Extremes Workshop, there will be EVEN MORE tips and tricks on camera-ready makeup to pick up! 😀
Celebrities always look immaculate on the red carpet, but even the biggest celebs aren't immune to embarrassing makeup malfunctions!
White cast
I don't profess to be a guru in makeup application nor am I a trained makeup artist, and most of us have a lighter tone on our face compared to our body, but at least I don't look too bad right? 😛
(Oh but I have unsightly wrinkles on my neck. BOO. That can't be helped la! HAHAHA!)
That said, I am still extremely looking forward to attend the 2-day workshop because there is never an end to learning and I thrive in constant acquisition of new techniques and skills to be the best version of me.
(Hence the cover picture of this post. ^_^* )
How Is This Workshop Applicable To You?
You could be an aspiring model looking for makeup techinques so that you can look your best in photos to put together your portfolio;
You could be a blogger who owns a photography ringlight and wants to know how to make your features appear more prominent;
You could be a performer, stage artiste, dancer, singer, or just be a person who loves taking selfies and wants to look better in pictures! 😀
I don't know about you, but here are my top three concerns when it comes to taking camera-ready photos:
1. Shiny Skin
My number one concern! I have such oily skin that it turns shiny within a couple of hours of makeup application. During my wedding photoshoot in Taiwan, my makeup artist had to constantly blot my face to reduce the shine on my face.
Ever wondered why the makeup artists of actors/actresses keep having to pat their faces with powder? It's because powder is necessary to create that beautiful matte finish for photography.

Dunn knows a thing or two about being a singer in a cowboy band. As familiar as his voice has become, he's only now taken the time to explore once and for all his own voice as a solo artist. Of course, Dunn has had an excellent reason to wait until now to make a solo album. For 20 years, he was part of the single most successful duo in country music history, Brooks & Dunn. Hits include "Bleed Red," "Cost of Livin," "My Maria," "Red Dirt Road" and "Boot Scootin' Boogie."

A local woman is sending help out east for people battling the cold.
Holmen resident Judy Wolff has been making scarves, hats, and little toys for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Wolff understands the hardships. She helped in New York City as a Red Cross volunteer following the attacks on 9-11.
For the past three days, she's made a couple dozen items that will be shipped out this week in time for the holiday season.
Wolff says it will be a welcome gift, almost like opening up a new toy. "A lot of them aren't going to get the hats and scarves, and mittens that they need, and they need that kind of stuff with the cold weather that's coming up," said Wolff.
Everything she's made will be distributed next week.

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 4:00 PM
4 p.m.
Room 405, Taylor Hall
Adjusting to a new environment can be both stressful and exciting. A panel of students will explore "breaking down barriers" as they share their stories of adjustment and transition, as well as highlight campus and community resources for support. The session is geared towards international students as well as domestic students, who have recently returned from, or are about to engage in, a study abroad program. Domestic first-year students, who are also engaged in adjustment to a new culture (the college/JMU culture) are also welcome to participate!

Microsoft Corp. will keep Skype web communication application platform agnostic and will continue enhancing versions of Skype not only for Windows, but for other platforms as well, the company indicated. Nonetheless, in order to capitalize on Skype, Microsoft will add more ads to the Internet communication program.
"Products and services that Skype users know in lots today will simply grow and be enhanced. Part of that commitment is to continue investing and supporting Skype on non-Microsoft client platforms," said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft, at a press conference.
Microsoft Wants to Create New Experiences
At present Skype has 170 million of registered customers and adds 600 thousand users each day, something that makes it not only one of the world's largest communication service, but also a great platform for advertizing various products and services.
The world's largest software designer said that eventually Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and a wide array of Windows devices, and Microsoft will connect Skype users with Lync, Outlook, Xbox Live and other communities. Even though Microsoft is unlikely to cut-off Skype from Android or iPhone since it wants Skype platform to continue gaining acceptance by different customers, it will probably add certain exclusive features to Skype on Microsoft devices so that to popularize them over time. But first Microsoft will ensure that Skype is on all Windows-based personal computers. For example, the amount of Windows 7 licenses sold since the launch in 2009 is about 350 million units, which is over two times more than the amount of Skype registered clients.
"We dream about building experiences that aren't limited by distance or device. We dream about how to build experiences where people can enjoy and connect with the people and groups of people most important to them in the ways that are most natural. [...] We see enormous opportunity that brings together what people want: data, voice, video, IM, all on a single screen, whether it is a smart phone, a PC, a slate, or the TV. Microsoft and Skype together will define this future and what it really looks like," said Mr. Ballmer.
Ads May Not Be Welcome
In order to keep developing Skype further and earn the $8.5 billion Microsoft paid for Skype back, it plans to use various advertising methods.
"We think advertising is a very powerful monetisation stream for us, if you think about the size of our userbase," said Tony Bates, the head of Skype division at Microsoft in an interview with Financial Times.
But while there are plenty of opportunities for Microsoft and Skype to generate ad revenue and also give a huge boost to Microsoft's own ad business, some market analysts are not confident that Microsoft is going to fight its billions back simply because Skype users are used to ad-free communication app.
"The tricky bit is how you incorporate advertising into one-to-one communications. There have been a few attempts before to have ad-supported mobile phones and in general they haven't taken off. But that's not to say that it can't be done," said Suranga Chandratillake, chief executive of Blinkx, an online video service.
A number of Skype users reportedly said that they would rather pay for the service than see a lot of ads.
"The challenge will be to identify new opportunities for online video advertising that doesn't interfere with the user experience," said Norm Johnston, global digital leader at Mindshare Worldwide.

Blu-ray Review: 'Prison - Collector's Edition'
Early Viggo Mortensen and Renny Harlin? Follow us as we check out the little know but hitting Blu-ray flick "Prison: Collector's Edition", out now from Shout! Factory's horror division Scream Factory. The review doors close for lights out below!
Title: "Prison: Collector's Edition"
Grade: 3 1/2
Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Lane Smith, Chelsea Field
Director: Renny Harlin
Rating: R
Runtime: 102 minutes
Release Company: Shout! Factory
Website: www.shoutfactory.com
The Flick: Before viewing this one I never new that this was an early film by Director Renny Harlin (yes, he of "Die Hard 2" and "Cliffhanger!") and features a young and early in his career Viggo Mortensen. Thankfully both are involved here as they elevate what could have just been a forgettable horror outing. The film centers on a prison that's haunted by a former inmate who was executed there and it's a tad on the barren of scares side. But again with the help of some inventive effects via John Carl Buechler, slick direction by Harlin and ample brooding James Dean-esk work by Mortensen this one is a notable start for all involved.
Best Feature: The awesome doc 'Hard Time: The Making of Prison' is a through and rather candid doc on the making of the film. Fascinating, honest (Harlin thankfully knows no other way to be!) and fully recognizing the flaws within, it's a memorable one-stop shop doc that rocks. (Though thumbs down to Mortensen who is MIA here – to proud to recognize the roots, huh Viggo!)
Best Hidden Gem: Lane Smith's prison warden is one mean mother!
Worth the Moola: Again, it's fascinating to see folks who went on to do such amazing work in their early stages – plus the collectable box cover kicks ass!

State Superintendent to Serve on Presidential Transition Task Force
Illinois School Chief to Help Set National Education Priorities
Springfield – Illinois' State Superintendent of Education Dr. Christopher A. Koch will serve on the Council of Chief State School Officers Presidential Transition Task Force. The task force will identify high priority issues the next U.S. Secretary of Education should address in his/her first 100 days. Dr. Koch will serve alongside seven other state chiefs selected to ensure a geographically and politically diverse group.
"We're thrilled that Dr. Koch has been asked to have a direct hand in framing the educational priorities for President-Elect Barack Obama's administration,'' said Illinois State Board of Education Chairman Jesse Ruiz. "We are happy to be at the table for the important discussions surrounding the re-authorization of No Child Left Behind and other top education issues."
The task force will hold its first meeting on Dec. 1 at the Council's office in Washington, D.C. Members will focus on how school chiefs will work together with the next Secretary of Education to: strengthen the state-federal partnership; address key challenges facing the public K-12 education system, including the rising number of schools in need of improvement; and address issues raised by the final Title I regulations under consideration.
''It's a great honor to join my peers from around the country on this important task force,'' Dr. Koch said. ''I look forward to working with the Obama administration to help prioritize the most pressing educational issues of our state and country to better address the needs of our children.''
Dr. Koch has been the State Superintendent of Education since December 2006 and has been with ISBE since 1994, serving in a variety of roles, including Chief Education Officer from 2002 to 2003. Prior to his appointment as Interim Superintendent, Dr. Koch served as Assistant Superintendent for Special Education.
Dr. Koch also has experience as a special education teacher. He taught in four states in various settings, including an Outward Bound program, a college preparatory school, a youth detention center, a psychiatric hospital, and a church-sponsored day school. Dr. Koch also administered programs in correctional education and School-to-Work transition at the U.S. Department of Education.
An Illinois native, Dr. Koch is a product of Illinois public schools. He graduated from Brown County High School in Mt. Sterling and from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. He obtained his master's and doctoral degrees in Educational Policy and Leadership from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Bump and Roll
Bump and Roll is an interactive exhibit that demonstrates nanomaterial properties using an everyday object: a leaf of cabbage. The nanoscale structures on a cabbage leaf cause water to bead up and slide off its surface. Scientists are replicating these "superhydrophobic" properties with nanotechnology. Drip water onto a cabbage leaf, and change the angle of the surface to see how the droplets behave. Find out about the super-small bumps that make this surprising behavior possible.

True Brit knits is a collective of (British, ahem) knitwear designers. We've all worked (and continue to do so) 'in industry' as the saying goes, and now we're using this new-fangled internets thingy to bypass shops, bulk manufacturing and the tyranny of delivery dates to, we hope, inspire hand knitters around the world. (We've not given up the shops, manufacturing etc., we're just seeking a bit of light relief!)
Our patterns come as downloadable pdfs, some will be entirely new, some will have been published previously in The Knitter magazine. Some will be free, some won't. All of them will be organised so that you don't have to print out pages of pictures and inspiration burbling if you don't want to, you can just print the essentials.

Sources tell ESPN's Buster Olney that the Phillies organization is fed up with Jimmy Rollins and would like to go in a new direction at shortstop. A source also tells Olney it about the work ethic:
"…sources indicate that some in influential positions in the Phillies' organization want Rollins to lead, by investing himself more thoroughly in daily work and setting a strong example for others. If Rollins isn't going to do that, the sentiment of some is that the team would be better off moving him as soon as possible."
Basically from the time Rollins signed a new contract with the Phillies, he's had to field questions about lifting his no-trade clause, something he will not do. J-Roll has been quoted as wanting to break Mike Schmidt's franchise record for hits, and topping other categories as well. If/when broken, the records seem to hold little value within the hearts of the fans as the team has recently been called "terrible" by scouts around baseball.
At the beginning of last season, I asked him if he would speak up more because so many of the other veteran voices were either injured or gone and flat out, he said no. Rollins said that he's always been this way, so why change now.
Manager Ryne Sandberg benched Rollins for a few games last week, perhaps sending a message to the former MVP. But Sandberg said that wasn't so, that he's just monitoring his veterans playing days.
71 Comments
It's going to be a sad ending for what should be a celebrated career.
Its a business. Jimmy knew that when he made the team. You dont produce, you get benched, traded or released. Time to cut him loose for the better of the team long term. Jimmy's best days are gone. Time for Ruben Amaro to grow up and stop living in the past. This just might light a fire under the other easy riders.
If you want to take that attitude, then theres plenty others that should be gone; every time certain members have signed an un-Godly amount of $$ contract NONE of them have produced for what they get paid; so lets not put it ALL on Jimmy, there's PLENTY of blame to go around !!!!!!!!!
It's oh so different when we're winning. J-Roll, kinda like Rickey Henderson is probably a fun teammate and when in their prime, an extraordinary player. But sometimes that me-first mentality doesn't always work with aging teams desperately in need of some new life or in this case, a heartbeat. Jimmy still has the potential to be a veteran leader, but he is paid, has his rights and doesn't need to do anything he doesn't want to. Despite, his bosses asking this of him. He basically has more leverage than RAJ should have ever given him with that dumb contract.
Amen,they should cut their loses NOW before it's too late for this season.Trade or cut him. Don't give him a chance to just break records.TEAM FIRST beside Gavis is better at this time. from a 50year fan
Gavis IS HORRENDOS
It's "Galvis." And it's "horrendous."
Aside from that, Charles Dickens, Freddie ain't gonna learn to hit more line drives by watching from the bench as Jimmy Rollins runs through the motions.
(where by "runs through the motions" we mean hit better, steal more bases, and hustle everywhere but down the first base line on sure outs)
……..and how about Ryan Howard? Strikes out more than my son in little league.
A manager needs to recognize the talents his people have and use them wisely. Asking Rollins to be a vocal leader is like asking Chooch to steal more bases. It's not in either player's wheelhouse, and never will be, and THAT IS OK.
Forcing a change at this point and creating conflict where there is no reason to is not going to help the team win any more games.
Remember the persistent and fruitless attempts by management to make Mike Schmidt a rah rah guy?
Some guys are capable of leadership and some are not. The ones who are not should not be held in lower regard. Rather, those who demand the impossible are to be distrusted.
I agree with both of these comments. It absolutely is OK Schmenkman, and there is no good reason it should not be.
And I do remember that Fred, it is ridiculous to hold an athlete in lower regard due to that.
Well put, Schmenk.
And I don't really get that Utley, Howard, Chooch or any other veteran on the club is a vocal leader and would guess that older teams tend not to be abundant in rah-rah style leadership. Thirty-plus veterans know what their roles are and lead by example to the younger players. The ones who know how to impart their knowledge (and teaching is its own skill) likely offer a rare bonus to young players. If Jimmy is helping Maikel Franco become a better player then both players will be that much more valuable to the club this season.
Great people lead by example, that is what Chase Utley & Roy Halliday do. With that said, does Jimmy do this? I recall him jogging down to first last year & getting put on the bench by Charlie. You will just never see some players do that, period. That is the difference btwn Jimmy and Chase. Chase is the earliest one at practice. I can guess that what has been said is that Jimmy is not as hard working at practice and is more of a jokester and socialite. Chase might say hi to another player or mgr before the game, but you will never catch him starting a conversation with someone on the other team when he is on the field. It's called focus.
God forbid, I would hate for someone to have fun playing a child's game. Scandalous.
I'd like to see both Rollins and Howard get traded. Definitely need some new blood to energize the team
It would seem that both sides are showing little or no flexibility. Jimmy seems to be saying I don't needed to change and Ryno is saying his work ethic is unacceptable. I see this all ending badly for the Phillies and Jimmy. I'm having a really hard time generating any enthusiasm for watching the Phillies. Frankly, I'm more excited about the upcoming NBA lottery and draft.
The nba draft lottery. Seriously
I'm going to be painting this weekend. You can come over and watch it dry if your that bored.
lol!!! I feel the same, would rather watch the real housewives or pretty little liars, bldg!
I'm pretty sure a 3 year deal was right on line with his value to the franchise considering there were really no replacements. The problem is that the Phillies don't seem to believe in grooming their stars of the future anymore. So when players who have 10/5 full no trade rights decide they wanna be divas, the organization has no choice but to accommodate their egos.
Do you realize that when Rollins was a free agent, he had no offers higher than 2 years for $15M. RAJ basically gave him double the years and triple the money anyone else would have.
Ruin has handed out sooooo many bad contracts the last 5 years. How does he still have a job?!?
Keith, what's your source for that? I remember reading he had a four-year offer from Milwaukee,
I remember St Louis offered 1 year at $8M. Detroit offered 2 years at $15M. I don't remember Milwaukee even offering a contract.
Anyone can be replaced. They could have easily replaced him with a good defensive shortstop and hit them eighth. Then use the money he got to find a power hitting right handed bat for the outfield or 3B. It isn't about what position you play, it is about where you hit in the lineup. Rollins production in the lineup where he is hitting is not worth the money he is being paid.
You're right but where on earth are the Phillies gonna find a good defensive shortstop who'll they can hit eighth?
I can find fault with both parties.
Jimmy's status as "team leader" was always overblown. I hate how he's shown up to every game looking like he's attending a funeral the last two years. He used to be my favorite player, but I find watching his daily demeanor to be so off putting anymore. Moving on would clearly be better for both parties at this point.
But the Phillies knew what he was when they signed him. They knew his style of hitting wasn't going to age well. At the end of the day, you have all these reports of guys the Phillies would love to trade, but can't because of whatever reason. To me, save your ire for the guy who signed all these immovable pieces.
I think they told Paps the same and he got kn line. Rollins likley has some trade value to a few teams as well.
One of the old Phillies Nation writer's, Ryan Dinger, said it PERFECTLY on Twitter:
"How many World Series champions can we hate by the time it's all over? So far we've got Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth and Jimmy Rollins."
…just wanted to give him props for what I thought was a great comment that more Phillies fans needed to see
I happen to believe that the team, and probably Rollins himself, are better off with a change in direction. That doesn't mean that I hate Rollins. We can wax poetic about 2008 for another decade if we want, but the reality of the game and of life is that time keeps moving forward. This is a team that's going to brutal, and they won't be significantly worse if someone other than Rollins is playing shortstop this season.
I have no problem with Ryan Howard, he has been hurt and he presses and swings at crap because that is all he sees. He hasn't had anyone good hitting behind him since Werth left. (Marlon Byrd doesn't count either) So I have no problem with Howard.
I also have no problem with Werth, he wanted to be here and the Phillies paid Lee instead. I don't understand why fans have an issue with him. (and not for nothing, it looked like he was all about the money over winning when we singed with the Nats, but looking at it now, what team has won more games since? Probably the Nats)
Rollins on the other hand, he just has a terrible attitude. I don't hate him but he just needs to go and should have bever been resigned in the first place.
(same with Chooch and Utley and I love both of those guys)
I'll tell you why I, personally, have a problem with Werth. I understand that he wanted to be in Philly, and we paid Lee instead. That's the way it goes. I was still prepared to like him, but he acted SO BUTTHURT about the whole thing, saying things about hoping the Phils lost, talking shit about Phillies fans, and generally acting like a huge baby who got his toy taken away from him. Be angry you didn't get your contract, fine. Talk shit about my team and the fandom? You're dead to me.
Agree with everything else you said, though.
Don't forget Cole Hamels! Fans hate him too.
Hey there Don. The question Dinger put out was a good one. How ever the reality is that the 08 WS. win is now going on it's 6th year. Think about that for a second 6 years ago! A lot of people bring the WS win up. That's all fine and dandy but winning the WFS 6 years ago does nothing for this team this year. Most of those heroes of that team are no longer here or the ones that are will not perform close to the level of that team. I don't think it's hate for them. I think it's more the fact that people are starting to realize that this team is not very good even with the ones left over from a 6 year old WS win. And I think management has that WS win thingy still in their hearts. It's time to move on to a different younger group of guys. People always say, well this guy isn't a J-Roll (meaning Galvis) well hell J-Roll isn't J-Roll of 6 years ago either. The only ones who are the same would be Hamels and Kendrick. We don't hate or at least I don't hate any of those guys, I just think in BB you have to move on at a certain point.
If you don't think that there are a large portion of Phillies fans that HATE Howard, Rollins, and Werth – you aren't paying close enough attention.
Regardless of how many years ago – it's not the player's fault that they are all older, breaking down … that's what happens to older players.. look at the GM (and many say the owners forcing his hand to extend Ryan Howard, sign Papelbon, etc).. I agree that the team should have moved on. I was very much in favor of trying to trade parts last year, Utley, Ruiz, Papelbon to start a youth-movement/rebuild ala the 76ers.. but the players on the roster apparently didn't have enough trade value to warrant a trade.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cliff Lee gets dealt to a contender at the deadline this year though – this team is going nowhere
I find it funny that people who moan that it's been 6 years since the Phillies won a World Series and that we should expect more recent results, are the same tired E A G L E S chanting fans every season, and they haven't won a championship since 1960 – 7 years before the Super Bowl era began!
Yeah. I think for as much as we want to talk about Rollins' leadership or lack thereof, the public benching and the public trade rumors are way worse leadership tactics.
He is not a leader. When Utley and Howard were hurt to start 2012, the three people the team could have turned to as leaders who have won before (08) were Chooch (who barley speaks English) Victorino (who is hyper goofy) and Rollins. The team was playing poorly and it should have been Rollins that lead that clubhouse but there was no one. His skill set at the plate this stage of his career doesn't offer anything. Where would a good team hit him? 7th or 8th…maybe…maybe 2nd.
When they signed him he was the best option at short but NOT the best option for the lineup (Victorino should have lead off, hit the new SS 8th and use that money to get a right handed power hitting outfielder.) They did not. Why put all that money into a 2/7/8 hole hitter? Teams need to look at where the player will be hitting in the lineup not what position they play. Even this year signing Chooch. I love him but why pay an 8 or 7 hole hitter all that money? You can find someone cheaper to hit 8th and play solid defense. This is the same mistake they make over and over. Here is who should get paid big money. Top 2 starters, 3, 4, and 5 hole hitter. That is it. I would say lead off hitter but there are very few true lead off hitters like Dykstra was. The production a good team gets out of the other spots in the order can be had with mid range salary guys and young players (another thing the Phillies don't have)
Not to say this is perfect, obviously there are exceptions, but look around the league (or the good teams). I would be curious to see what the average salary is for spots in the line up. This would be my guide.
1. 7 mil
2. 4 mil
3. 15
4. 20
5. 15
6. 8
7. 4
8. 2
Utl – 1
CLoser – 6
Set Up – 3
Lefty – 3
Rp 1
Long 1
$160 million well spent
In summary, they pay Rollins too much to do what he is doing on the field, if he isn't doing anything off the field to make up for his lack of production, then he is hurting the team.
LOL @Phillies FO. Amaro or whatever other dumb ass in our FO can continue to be little bitches and leak stories like this to the media, but JStroll has them by the short and curlies. They never should have given him a 4 year deal to him in the first place (yes, I know it's 3 with a vesting 4th, but he'll hit that vesting option easily unless he's on the DL for two months. I'm not picking on JStroll here…I don't think they should have resigned Chooch or Utley, either.
I guess I missed the Philliesnation.com article on MLB scouts calling the Phillies terrible? This season has disaster written all over it. On the bright side, maybe we'll get rid of Ruin and whoever is in charge of our atrocious farm system after this team loses over 90 games this year with the 3rd highest payroll in baseball. ). I'd trade every player over 30 I could and start rebuilding NOW. Why drag this out for two more years?
Damn Nick, excellent research. You must be a lawyer or librarian. I would never argue with a man who does such in-depth research. I also agree with your position on Rollins.
How can I argue with the facts?
thank, but I didn't research anything, I just said those numbers would be my guide to where a team should invest their money.
I wish I made lawyer money but I'm just a public school teacher. (typed the last post on my prep)
That's not a bad list, except that position isn't considered. If 1 or 2 are a shortstop or catcher, they would get much more obviously.
Sorry Nick, but most of what you are writing in this thread is based on nothing. Importance of the spot of a certain hitter in the line-up is way overblown, as research shows. And you also forget about the value of defense. In 2012 Jimmy was a very valuable player. In 2013 it was a down year by his standards but still an acceptable year for a shortstop. For 2014 there is a general consensus among the forecasting systems that he will provide appr. 2 WAR, which is exactly worth what the contract is paying him. So while I also prefer seeing players like Chase Utley the bottom line is still the performance on the field.
Phiiles fan from Germany, a team needs balance and there is none of that here. For the last couple years they have had a team full of guys who produce like 2, 7 and 8 hole hitters. In 2012, Victorino, Rollins, Polanco, Pierre and Ruiz. All of them started. On a good team, where do you hit all those guys? If Rollins and Victorino are hitting one and two, where do you hit Polanco and Pierre? 7 and 8? I'll excuse Chooch because he unexpectedly had a good year. Those other 4 just were all too similar in the type of production they offered. If you let Rollins go your offense is this
Carlos Quinten or someone other LF that hits with power
Galvis or a vet that was available like Keppinger
Glavis would have gave you the same defense Rollins gave. The power hitting left fielder would have given you equal defense that Peire gave but would have offered something different offensively.
(this was also the year Utley was hurt so Pence could have hit 3rd as well. Have Rollins as the three hole or five hole hitter was not a good fit for him. (and he pouted about it)
So while my post isn't based in facts, it makes sense. You can't have too many players in the lineup that offer the same type of production. Let's look at this years lineup.
1. Revere (better hitting two or eight because he doesn't walk enough, but they are stuck with him at leadoff. I like his speed and would like him at 2)
2. Rollins (.250 hitter with a poor OBA. Should be hitting 8th on a good team.)
3. Utley (love him but don't expect the power from the 3 hole. He should be hitting 2 or 6 or 7)
4. Howard (should be hitting 5th because he is so slow now)
5. Byrd (seriously, Howard will get nothing to hit because Byrd doesn't scare pitchers. They will pitch around Howard like they have been doing since Werth left. Byrd should be hitting 6 or 7 on a good team)
6. Brown (should be hitting higher but too many lefties. I'd have no problem with him hitting 2 or maybe even 3 or 5)
7. Ruiz (he is fine here)
8. Asche or Franco (tough to hit a rookie 8th because they will get pitched around with the pitcher behind them. Franco needs to see fastballs and should be hitting highers like 6 or 7)
So this lineup stinks. They players aren't bad, it just isn't a good blend and that is important.
A couple of comments.
"You can't have too many players in the lineup that offer the same type of production." — Balance, and (as P f f G said) lineup order, are not nearly as important as the actual performance you get from each player. 2012 is an odd year to target since Rollins was quite arguably the second best shortstop on the planet that year, behind only Desmond.
I seriously doubt that Galvis+new LF would have been anywhere near as good as Rollins+Pierre were that year.
"2. Rollins (.250 hitter with a poor OBA. Should be hitting 8th on a good team.)" — I think you'd agree the last part is irrelevant.
"So this lineup stinks. The players aren't bad, it just isn't a good blend and that is important."
The lineup will be average at best, but I disagree with the last sentence. The "blend" matters very little, but the players just aren't that good.
How was Rollins the 2nd best shortstop in 2012? Because he put up numbers? He actually had a pretty poor July and August (.208 and .213) and added 8 meaningless home runs in September. Even if you look at his total number, what does he do for you. Is he a get on base guy that hits at the top of the order? Becuase his OBA was poor for a top of the order guy. Or is he a middle of the lineup run producer because even with his 23 Hr his 68 RBI is low.
Now, in fairness, if he is a leadoff hitter than the 23 HR and 68 RBI are pretty decent from that spot but that leads me to my original point. Too many guys who do the same thing. Why was he hitting 3rd when Utley was hurt? Because you have too many of the same guy and no balance. You can't believe the team is better with Rollins hitting 3rd can you? He pouted and was horrible from the 3 hole.
Then, going back to my original post, you allocate all this money to Jimmy in the 1 or 2 whole and who do you have hitting 5th since Werth left? Ben Fransisco, John Mayberry Jr, Delmon Young….that is where I would invest my money. In the 5 hole. I can spend less money on a leadoff hitter that will hit 250 with a .316 OBA average. You can't compare Rollins to other shortstops, you need to compare him to other leadoff hitters.
The players could be productive on different roles on different teams. Rollins on the Tigers hitting 8th would be awesome for them. Utley hitting 2nd on most teams would be great. Put someone like Revere hitting second behind Marte of the Pirate or Elsbury of the Red Sox would be better than hitting leadoff for the Phillies.
Everyone is out of place in this lineup and being asked to do too much, if asked to do less, they would probably excel at their roles. It is about TEAM not the individuals. You can't just put individuals in a lineup and think no matter who is in the lineup and where they will all produce the same. It doesn't work that way and you won't get the most out of your players. Look at Raul Ibanez. Do you know why he looked finished his last year in Philly? Because he was asked to do to much and put in a position to fail. He has had good years the last couple years because he is in a roll and position that will maximize his ability and teams will get more production out of him. Rollins can do better in a different situation and the Phillies can do better with a different lineup.
As "Germany" and I said earlier (and research shows) lineup spots matter some, but not nearly as much as the total production a player delivers. Whether Rollins leads off or hits in the middle or near the bottom matters relatively little in how many runs a team scores.
But just on the topic of Rollins leading off, while he was never a great leadoff hitter, that also gets exaggerated. In 2012 (the last time he led off the majority of the time), this is where he ranked among the NL's 16 leadoff hitters:
9th highest OBP
6th highest OPS
3rd highest walk rate
2nd lowest strikeout rate
In the end I don't care that much where Rollins hits — 6th or 7th would be fine on this team, and so would 2nd.
But I think the entire premise of "allocating money to spots in the order" is misguided. You spend money for the total value a player delivers, not for where they hit in the order. For example, a 3rd hitter with a given set of hitting skills is worth vastly different sums depending on whether they are a first basemen (where good hitters like Ruf, Overbeck, and Rizzotti are a dime a dozen), or a shortstop (where good hitters are much harder to find), not to mention that the shortstop is likely to also add more value on the bases.
"You can't compare Rollins to other shortstops, you need to compare him to other leadoff hitters."
This couldn't be any more wrong. Any of a number of fielders can lead off, but if you don't have Rollins, you must replace him with another shortstop.
Even with the third highest walk rate, it still wasn't enough to get his OBP in the upper half of of leadoff hitters. OPS is nice (take away the meaningless September and I am curious to see what the OPS was) I do like that his strikeouts were low. With his speed, this was okay for a 2 hole hitter, but they had Polanco, Pierre and Victorino, who all also profile as 2 hole hitters, or to go along with your argument, all 4 of those guys produce the same type of stats (limited power and RBI) Polancos production was worse, Victorinos was slightly better. Pierre probably had the best year of the three as far as production goes. The problem still is, too many unproductive guys in the lineup. Your leadoff hitter needs to get on base a lot and score runs, your 3, 4, 5 hole hitters need to drive in runs. (same with your 6 hole hitter to a lesser extent) that leaves 3 spots where you can have unproductive players. The Phillies in 2012 had too many player that were unproductive. Rollins had a nice year when compared to other shortstops but it did the Phillies no good. They needed more production out of their other players. To get more production, you need better players. One way to get better players is through free agency and productive players cost money. I know defense is important so my opinion would have been to get a good defensive shortstop, pay them very little and hit them 8th. Use the Rollins money to find a more productive player since you are already getting the same type of production Rollins gave you from 3 other guys.
This is all a moot point since 2012 is over, I just think at this point in time Rollins doesn't produce enough offensively and isn't giving you anything in the locker room. He still can play a really good short stop but so can Galvis. I think it would be unfair to expect the same type of production offensively from Galvis and I wouldn't expect that so I would hit him 8th and not 2nd. (like the Phillies did in 93 with Stocker and their other shortstops…although Stocker surprised everyone and actually hit, though it was more like a bonus. What they needed at the time was solid defense at short. Also like what the Phillies did with Chooch for all those years. Just play good defense and anything with the bat is a bonus) That is what an 8 hole hitter should be. Great glove at SS, C or CF and anything with the bat is a bonus.
I know the fact that this team isn't any good isn't Rollin's fault but I just don't think he brings enough to the table. They can do without him. Then when he comes back in a couple years to be on the Wall of Fame, everyone can cheer real loud for all that he did. Right now though, he has got to go.
Why push him out when he's so close to putting his name in the record book.
If you worked for 17 years for your school and they asked you to leave 2 months before your pension vested (hypothetically), how would you feel about that?
Why do that to him after he's meant so much to this team, at a time when he is STILL better than his replacement?
It makes no sense.
If they're going to get lucky and compete, Rollins gives them a better chance to do so.
If they're not going to compete, than it doesn't matter who is at short, so why insult and push out an all-time great franchise player?
By the way, not sure why you keep referring to Sep 2012 as meaningless. They had a late surge in 2012, thanks in large part to Rollins, and as late as Sep 21st they were only 3 games back of the wild card, with 11 to play.
I'll come pop out on the 1st pitch for cheaper!!! He has no heart left and seems to only want to break a record… not a reason to keep him around. He's so annoying to watch anymore with his jogging! Any little leaguer knows to run everything out so why shouldn't he be any different when he's being paid millions to play!
For his career, Rollins is a .323 batter with an .826 OPS when he swings at the first pitch.
Yeah, also, he has always swung at the first pitch LESS than most players, and except for his first couple years even less than most lead-off hitters.
And his popup rate isn't much different than the major league average.
One way to trade Rollins is to sit him in the minors. He will not want to stay there and ask to be traded.
Great Idea! What better way to get trade value back than to send a 14 year vet and former NL MVP to the minors?
Love your comments, Lefty.
Always well-considered (and sometimes very funny).
I was waiting for the feces to hit the fan. I kind of knew yesterday it was pilling up. I also had a feeling that Rollins and Ryno would clash. Especially when i heard the workouts where longer and more strenuous etc. I also think this Buster dude is just plain guessing and instigating the scene possibly making it much worse than what it is.
I think Jroll is the least of our problems.He has been a great player for us and if he wants to break some records as a Phillie more power to him. It may be the only thing we have to cheer about for some time.
Leave Jimmy alone and let him retire as a Philly. When we're a loosing team someone always needs somebody to pick on. Not EVERYONE is a leader!
We're a losing team? Last I checked, our record (the one that counts) sits at 0-0.
True, but it's a terrible 0-0 record.
Terrible, yes. But as the old adage goes (really it's a question)…."What's heavier? A ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?" Point I'm trying to make is that 0-0 is 0-0 is 0-0. Let's see what REALLY happens once the bell is rung. We all may have a good idea but …..
I gotcha the first time on 0-0. Just being my usual smart ass.
I'm with you, Chuck.
0-0 is always a refreshing start.
Hope springs each Spring.
Jimmy should be a lifer he put up with soo many shitty phillies squads. The man is most definitely a leader. The phillies need to calm the clubhouse and get composure. Ruben and ryno got to get there shit together. This club is not going anywhere pointing fingers and threatening and creating drama.
Rollins is not a leader. He had a chance to lead when Utley and Howard were out and did not. He sets a poor example. I like jimmy but he doesn't fit with that the Phillies are trying to do right now.
Ok all you backseat driving, armchair quarterbacking, couch potato fans. What the Phils needed to do, and still need to do is RETOOL every year, even after winning the WS. Two examples: the Rays and the Yankees. A low payroll team and a high payroll team. Always in or near contention.
Please oh please never ever mention the Phillies and 76er's together again….I threw up in my mouth a little. Eww
Don't underestimate Hinckey as a GM.
He's got a little core of good young players plus two high draft choices and that could put them in the playoffs as early as next year – plus a low enough cap (and attractive enough young team) to lure a free agent like Dirk Nowitzki or even LeBron – and that would send them deep in the playoffs even while the team is still mostly green.
If I had to bet, the Phillies are going to go the Hinckey route (or Houston route as it's now known in baseball) sooner than later – the difference being that the Phils are going to need two or three very good drafts to get them back in contention. Hopefully, they'll have blown up and revamped their scouting department, first. Of course, once they blow up the current squad they'll also have the cap room to pick up a critical piece or two to complement the home grown talent. I just hope the front office at that time is up to the task.

Just picked up this recipe (just for the red pepper sauce only) as my teenager daughter is also a hater of any veg except red peppers. After seeing other peeps comments, decided to add garlic, paprika & extra herbs plus a chicken stock cube. Works out no problem. My girl wolfed down the sauce with chicken added into her spaghetti!! Plenty enough sauce to freeze for a quick meal when needed.
This was good but in need of a few changes. I would use more peppers next time. I also added sage to the meatballs for a bit more flavour. It wasnt obvious the apple was there but they were nice and moist. I halved the meat balls as there were just 2 of us but cooked the same amount of sauce and it worked well. Also I did not blitz it all at the end as I liked it chunky (and I was too lazy/hungry!)
I just made the sauce to go with some leftover meatballs I had. It was delicious. I used a fresh pepper which I blackened under the grill to get rid of the skin. I also used chicken stock instead of water, and added garlic. I then added some oregano and fresh basil. Very nice - we will definitely be having it again!
Made some changes. I used fresh peppers not from the jar (they contain too much sugar and there are many fresh peppers in the summer), which I blackened in the over for 30 minutes. I added a chicken stock cube, one finely grated carrot in the sauce and some parmesan at the end. I used two small grated apples for the mince balls, they add lots of lovely sweetness. I had it with rice not spaghetti. My baby and I loved it! Lots of vegetables/fruits, simple and healthy, definitely a favourite.
I added a few chilli flakes and plenty black pepper to the sauce which made it really yummy. There was plenty sauce (although mine served 3 hungry adults not 4) and the apple in the meatballs seemed to keep them moist - didn't add to the taste. Have already made it twice and it will now become a regular midweek supper dish.

MONTICELLO, NY — As befits a new company that's all about promoting its clients, the office of the new company "The Client's Advocate" was designed with an eye focused on style and image: the sleek, spare, glass-topped desks adorned with over-sized chess pieces look as if they would be found in Soho or in a scene from some trendy TV show. But these desks are located on St. John Sreet in Monticello, where the founders have hung out their shingle offering video production and resume services and just about everything in between.
The three founders are young, and attending college, but this is their passion. At a visit to the office on March 12, co-founder Christopher Gomez said he and co-founder Charles Marinaro started a local record company together, and the photography, video and promotion business takes their activity one step further. He said one of the reasons the company was started was to give local youths something to look up to. "If three young entrepreneurs can start a business, why can't anyone else?" As an extra inspiration for locals seeking to get a business going, these three entrepreneurs are home grown: Marinaro grew up in Monticello, Cohen grew up in Liberty, and Gomez moved from NYC to Monticello at age 14.
But is there enough promotional business in Sullivan County to support a business like The Client's Advocate? Marinaro said, "Sullivan County is the perfect place for self promotion." He said there are not only a lot of people that could benefit from promotion, but also a lot of local artists that could use their services.
Co-founder Melissa Cohen reiterated the fact that there are plenty of potential customers here, and singled out photography. She said, "There are other photographers in the area, and if you look at our pricing and what we offer, we beat out all competition."
The economy is still weak in Sullivan County and the rest of the country, but the founders have minimized the risk by not taking out big loans to launch the company. Marinaro said, "We put all of our fun money together for this." "Money we would use for vacations and the like," Gomez added. Also, the three, who are friends outside of the business, have other jobs.
The founders want the company to be successful, but they also want to support the community. Part of their promotional materials includes this: "We also believe in giving back to the community, and will do so by hosting a canned good/nonperishable food drive on our office opening day (which was March 13.) We plan to continue doing charitable work and projects. In a community stricken by poverty, empty storefronts, and crime, The Client's Advocate is not afraid to shake things up by combining philanthropy, innovation, and art to better the community."
