Skip to comments.Democrats for McCain
Posted on 06/05/2008 7:53:50 AM PDT by freespirited
Looks like them gun-totin' and God-fearing Democrats of small town America have decided to tell the Kumbaya candidate where to put his arugula. Who woulda thunk that them country bumpkins actually have Al Gore's internet and know how to use it. /sarc
All this group has right now is a bumper sticker for sale, but it's a start. Please share the link with your Democrat friends who say they won't vote for Obama.
Sorry but I don't see any Democrat voting for McCain - regardless of their threats or promises to do so. In the end, they'll stay home or swallow instead of spit to cast their vote for the messiah.
Those wild eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the garbage they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.
You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.
Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black.
Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.
The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lenin for the dupes he got to support him.
Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.
What a joke.
Democrats For McCain
You only thought we were bitter before!
There are those who will...how many is unknown...but there are still a lot of Reagan democrats out there who will not buy into the hero worship or abject anti-Americanism of Obama.
I promise you I could get a slew of those stickers on cars here. In Kentucky, there actually are a lot of conservative Democrats. Unfortunately, they don't control their party, but they vote that way.
Of course, we're just bitter, gun-toters that cling to our religion here! haha!
"I promise you I could get a slew of those stickers on cars here. In Kentucky, there actually are a lot of conservative Democrats. Unfortunately, they don't control their party, but they vote that way."
Having been born & raised in Paintsville, I understand the sentiment ... however, the concept of a yellow dog Democrat is still a viable concept once in the voting booth.
A man who claimed to be the owner of the website HillaryNow http://www.hillarynow.com/ called in to WMAL Wednesday morning and said he's now a McCain supporter due to Obama's ties to Hamas. There are some anti-Obama comments on the website now but no endorsement of McCain at this point. He said he's worked for five years to get Hillary elected.
I don't know how many Republicans will be voting for Obama but "Republicans for Obama" have their own site. Their numbers likely dropped after the Rev. Wright controversy.
"I doubt many of Hillary's supporters will be voting for McCain especially after they learn of his treatment of his first wife. His speech the other day was not one to create enthusiasm. I did not think much of Obama's speech either but he sounded full of energy and had the crowd cheering while McCain's audience needed cue card to applaud."
We conservatives will do what we can - especially survive and thrive in spite of which Democrat is elected.
$4.50 for a bumper sticker? Why didn't I think of this first? Must have been preoccupied with FR.
"In Kentucky, there actually are a lot of conservative Democrats".
...no such thing.
There were literally millions of cross over Democrats that voted for Reagan...so this is the same and GOOD news for the Country.
The Reagan democrats never went back to the democrat party and the democrats that still exist today are marxists and socialists. If they were conservative they would have been conservative all along but oddly chose to stick with the democrats for a reason.
There are a lot of Democrats out there who won't vote for Obama. Anybody who claims otherwise doesn't know the history of the Democrat party. Growing up in Louisiana I have distinct memories of pickup trucks with Edwin Edwards for Governor stickers on one side of the bumper and Reagan stickers on the other side. And there are Democrats who have never voted for a Republican who won't vote for Obama. Some of them might not vote for McCain, either, but they'll stay home or write in "Hillary Clinton." After all, she did win the popular vote...
According to some people, McCain IS a Democrat. The Democrats for McCain are therefore voting for one of their own instead of for the Socialist/ MoveOn.org stooge. :-)
McCain offers reach arounds to democrats. Hardly news.
Exactly. I am a former Reagan democRAT (80'), and voted as a Republican for the first time in 84' to re-elect RR. I have never ever looked back, but have to shower an extra 5 minutes each time to compensate for once being part of such a filthy party.
I'm just sick of the lie that the Clintbama socialists/marxists are like the Reagan democrats. It's pure fantasy and the McCain supporters know it's fantasy yet they'll promote it to push their guy.
With the way so many have adopted democrat tactics and ideals, maybe the Clintbama voters will vote McCain simply because they feel at home.
Yup, I miss the days when only the politicians were unethical.
You don't see ANY Democrats voting for McCain?
I am afraid I can't agree with you on that one.
I see millions of seriously pissed off Hilary Clinton Democrats, especially white women, voting for McCain.
They have have plenty of reasons NOT to vote for Obama, and very little reason not to vote for McCain. McCain is exactly the kind of Republican(Democrat lite) they can vote for.
Think back to all the Democrats who given a choice between the Obama clone, Jimmy Carter, and Reagan, voted in their millions for Reagan. And remember, Carter hadn't pissed off white women, small town America, and white men like Obama and his race-hate-spewing "spiritual advisers" have.
It's over for Obama.
"In the end, theyll stay home"
It's still ok if they stay home. Obama still loses.
"after the Rev. Wright controversy. "
this alone should net a slew of lunch pail Democrats to McCain
if not then we are truly doomed
My Grandfather...who first voted for FDR...the only Republicans he ever voted for were Reagan and Nixon. Who hated Bush with a pasion...has renounced his membership as a loyal Dem. He hates Obama that much. I had to sit down when he told me his reasons...he called the DNC "un-democratic" and "The Pendergrasts are back in charge" over the Michigan and Fla. bruhaha. And he accused them of "abandoning the little guy!" All I could say was.."Welcome Home".
The bumper sticker will be a nice companion for the one McCain has on his car: McCain for Democrats.
Knowing him and his obtuseness, he will interpret this drift of democrats to his support as proof that he's the second coming of Ronald Reagan, based on "ability to attract democrats."
And, IMO, it will prompt him to drift farther left in his quest to give them good reason to support him, launching yet another flaming bowling ball into the teeth of the conservative base.
If there weren't, there would be no Republicans elected in Kentucky. Not one of our Congressional districts has a Republican majority. Yet, we currently hold 4 of the 6 seats . . . and from 1996-2006, held 5 of the 6.

Wonderful! Sweet and Tangy. When the chicken was done I thickened the juice with cornstarch and used it for gravy on mashed potatoes. It was a BIG hit. Thanks.

Coronavirus is a common type of virus that can cause upper respiratory infections. It is the second leading cause of the common cold behind the rhinovirus. Although, in most cases, coronaviruses only cause mild respiratory infections, they are also a cause of more serious infections, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

text: Defend Your Castle Defend Your Castle is a port from a Wii Game, that had been originally been ported from a Flash Game created by XGen Studios. Please Register or Log in to view images In Defend Your Castle, your goal is to... defend you castle. To defend your castle, you have to grab, and flick the little stickmen into the air, causing them to fall to their death. Killing the incoming stickmen rewards you with points that allow you to upgrade your castle. Defending your castle for the day brings you to a menu where you can repair, or upgrade your castles defenses, or upgrades that let you recruit stickmen to your team by dropping them into a blue paint can. Once you recruit a good number of stickmen, you are able to turn them into archers, magicians, demolition men, or stone masons. Archers shoot down incoming stickmen, magicians cast spells on the stickmen, demolition men run out onto the field with bombs, and stone masons repair your castle walls. After a number of levels, the stickmen start bringing weapons, and beasts that help tear down your castle. Stickmen start carrying popsicle sticks, bombs, catapults, and even bottle cap beasts. Altogether Defend Your Castle is a very simple, but addicting game that brings you hours of gameplay. Gameplay: Gameplay in Defend Your Castle is very simple, but can bring you hours of enjoyment. You have to flick the stickmen into the air, cast spells, and upgrade your castle to successfully defend you castle from the incoming stickmen. The game can get very difficult, when you start to get to around level 25, because its non-stop flicking and casting spells. For an iPhone game, this has got to be one of the most addicting, an 8/10, would have been a lot more addicting if you level the single stickmen, or have people out on the field that hack and slash the incoming stickmen. Graphics/Sound: Defend Your Castles graphics are wonder, as if they were from a child's pop-up book. The stickmen look as if they were drawn with crayons, the clouds and the castle made from construction paper, and the bottle cap beast looks like they glued googly eyes to a bottle cap and drew crayon legs on it. I love the artwork, which goes great with the game and the sound. The Sound is all peppy and happy. From the screams of the stickmen, the grunts of the bottle cap beasts, the sound on the upgrade menu, and the sounds of the stickmen hitting your castle. When you play this game, you are going to want to plug your earphones in, and stop the music and listen to the sounds and music in the game. 9/10. Lasting Appeal: You can put endless hours into this game. There are endless amounts of waves, where the difficulty increases each time. There are also 45 trophys or achievement that you can achieve from playing the game. 9/10. Overall: Overall, Defend Your Castle is a great game, and at a special price of .99$ (Originally 1.99$), it's a must buy… even if you haven't played the other ones. After reading this, and your still sketchy about buying the game, you download a lite version for free HERE. Im going to give this game a 9/10, because there could've been more added to the gameplay. You can download a Microsoft Word version of this Review, with more pictures, and a better format... HERE!. I made this review in like 10 minutes, i hope you guys like the game!

E-mail marketing, which follows a cost-per-acquisition model, is an ideal lead-generation tactic in a down economy because it offers a combination of "guaranteed ROI" and "minimal risk," according to Christopher Petix, president of Clash-Media. "In a hostile environment, where online branding and sales are both harder than ever for small and medium businesses, it's a risk for marketers to spend their budgets on anything that doesn't have the guarantees of a CPA campaign," Petix writes.

UNIVERSAL IMAGINE PRINT GROUP, LLC, D/B/A IMAGINE PRINT GROUP, PLAINTIFF,v.JAMES MULLEN, DEFENDANT.
This matter comes before the court on the motion of Defendant James Mullen to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. For the reasons set forth below, the motion is denied.
According to the allegations of the complaint, which we must accept as true for purposes of this motion, Mullen is a former sales manager of Plaintiff Universal Imagine Print Group ("Imagine"). Imagine operates a commercial printing business and provides graphic arts services for its customers.
As part of his employment, Mullen executed a nondisclosure agreement in February 2005. In it, he agreed that he would not disclose to others or use for his own purposes any "Confidential Information" of Imagine, defined as information of [Imagine] encompassed in all plans, financial information, and costs; the practices of the Employer or any of its clients, vendors or suppliers; the fees [Imagine] charges for its services (except for published fee lists); business, marketing and expansion plans, ideas, or strategies; financial performance and projections; employee compensation or other personnel information; information related to private internal communications, emails, or files...; the existence or terms of this Agreement; and all information, concepts, or ideas in or reasonably related to [Imagine's] business that have not previously been publicly released by [sic] duly authorized representative of [Imagine.]
Mullen also agreed not to disclose to others or use for his own purposes any property of Imagine that fell within the definition of "Employer's Property" set out in the agreement.
On November 9, 2007, Mullen resigned his position as a sales manager at Imagine. He had not given notice of his intent to do so. When Mullen's office was searched after he announced his resignation, no papers were found in his desk, file cabinets, or other storage spaces. In addition, his desktop computer contained no data. Approximately three weeks before his departure, Mullen had sought and obtained electronic copies of some print jobs that were in the pre-press stage. According to Imagine, there was no legitimate business purpose for Mullen to request these copies.
Approximately three weeks later, Imagine filed a five-count complaint against Mullen. The complaint sets out causes of action based on violations of federal and state statutes as well as breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. The statutory counts allege violations of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA"), 18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.; the Illinois Computer Tampering Act, 720 ILCS 5/16D-3 et seq.; and the Illinois Trade Secrets Act ("ITSA"), 765 ILCS § 1065/1 et seq. Mullen then filed a motion to dismiss these statutory claims, claiming that each failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and that if the CFAA claim was dismissed, federal jurisdiction would not be present over the remaining four counts, warranting their dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1).
Because the parties urged that time was of the essence, we expedited an examination of the CFAA claim and informed the parties during a hearing on December 13, 2007, that it did state a claim. Consequently, jurisdiction was present pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and § 1367, and 12(b)(1) dismissal was not appropriate. Defendants indicated that they wished to press the 12(b)(6) motion directed toward Counts II and
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss is used to test the legal sufficiency of a complaint. Gibson v. City of Chicago, 910 F.2d 1510, 1520 (7th Cir. 1990). In ruling on a motion to dismiss, a court must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff, construe allegations of a complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and accept as true all well-pleaded facts and allegations in the complaint. Bontkowski v. First Nat'l Bank of Cicero, 998 F.2d 459, 461 (7th Cir. 1993); Perkins v. Silverstein, 939 F.2d 463, 466 (7th Cir. 1991). To be cognizable, the factual allegations contained within a complaint must raise a claim for relief "above the speculative level." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, - U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1965 (2007). However, a pleading need only convey enough information to allow the defendant to understand the gravamen of the complaint. Payton v. Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Med. Ctr., 184 F.3d 623, 627 (7th Cir. 1999).
With these principles in mind, we consider the instant motion.
In the portion of his motion not predicated on the jurisdiction, Mullen argues that Count II, Imagine's Illinois Computer Tampering Act claim, and Count IV, its breach of fiduciary duty claim, must be dismissed because they are preempted by the ITSA claims set out in Count V. The applicable provision of ITSA states that it: is intended to displace conflicting tort, restitutionary, unfair competition, and other laws of [Illinois] providing civil remedies for misappropriation of a trade secret.
However, ITSA specifically provides that it does not affect civil remedies that are not based upon misappropriation of a trade secret. 765 ILCS 1065/8(b). "Trade secret" is defined by ITSA as information, including but not limited to, technical or non-technical data, a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, drawing, process, financial data, or list of actual or potential customers or suppliers, that (1) is sufficiently secret to derive economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (2) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy or confidentiality. 765 ILCS 1065/2(d).
Count V asserts that Mullen violated ITSA through his alleged actions with respect to Imagine's Confidential Information. Counts II and IV are also based on Mullen's alleged conduct involving that information. According to Mullen, ITSA's preemption provision precludes Imagine from using the Confidential Information as the underpinning of these other two counts.*fn1
A comparison of the broad definition of the term Confidential Information and the statutory definition of trade secret shows that a 12(b)(6) dismissal is not appropriate in this case. Several of the categories of information classified as Confidential Information, such as personnel information or other information not available to the public, may prove to be outside the scope of a trade secret because its continued secrecy does not provide economic value to Imagine. If the information does not qualify as a trade secret, the availability of civil remedies designed to address unlawful disclosure or use would be unaffected by ITSA. 765 ILCS 1065/8(b).
Moreover, resolution of the preemption question set out in the instant motion would require determinations such as what information Mullen took, if any; whether it falls into one of the categories set out in the nondisclosure agreement; and whether it has all of the attributes of a trade secret. Development of underlying facts is necessary to properly make these determinations; these types of issues cannot be resolved in the context of a 12(b)(6) motion. Counts II and IV do not fail to state claims upon which relief can be granted, and Mullen's motion to dismiss them is therefore denied.
The motion to dismiss [8] is denied in its entirety.

Very good bran muffins, I used homemade applesauce which was a little chunky so there are bits of apple adding to the texture of the muffins, quite nice! We will enjoy these for breakfasts in the next days, thanks for posting I will make them again.

I also tried to contact Turistica Moguel but they didn't answer any mails. Are they still active in this business?
I'm looking forward to your answer. We're leaving for Mexico in 2 weeks.
Waiting for someone arriving later at terminal 3
I am meeting someone at the Cancun airport who is arriving 2 1/2 hours before my flight. Can they stay in the secured area & go to the gate where I am arriving to wait or do they need to leave immediately & go through customs? If so is there a place on the main floor where we could meet?

Cancun - palenque - San Cristobel - Tulum - Cancun
Hi, I have about 12 days and would like some suggestions on possible travel itinerary please. I'll need to use public transport or a tour. I fly in and out of Cancun and would like to see ruins and culturally significant areas of this region. Also snorkel or dive cenote. If anyone could make suggestions I'd appreciate it, I don't speak Spanish but happy to freelance . I want to avoid tourist resorts etc. Cheers Sharon
Advice about a day tour
For a special occasion I am trying to arrange a day sightseeing tour to include Chichen Itza and surroundings for just the two of us, but most tour companies charge an arm and a leg, maybe because the large vans that they use. Can someone recommend a friendly private tour operator with perhaps smaller car, friendlier price, but still good service?
Vacationing in Playa Del Carmen for the first time - Excursions?
My best friend and I will be traveling to Playa Del Carmen the last week of June to the first week of July. We booked it through a travel agency and this will be our first time traveling abroad to Mexico. We booked an all inclusive resort at the Riu Playacar. It seemed to meet most of our preferences: relaxing, somewhat smaller and quieter resort with beach access.
Since we will be staying at an All Inclusive, the food, bedding etc will be taken care of. I imagine some of the nearby amenities (snorkeling, golfing, swimming, etc) will also be included.
We shelled out quite a bit of money for the hotel, so we are looking for fun & affordable excursions/things to do/ places to visit nearby. Free is also nice. :) I've read about the Rio Secreto (~$100 pp?) which looks AMAZING as well as other cenotes. Also saw there were jungle buggy rides, visiting Chichen Itza, Tulum, swimming with dolphins in the ocean, the all inclusive Xplor park etc. I can't list them all because there seems to be so much to do! We really don't know where to begin, and will only be there for a week so we'd like to take advantage of our time there without emptying out our wallets too much...Thanks!
can i see whalesharks in april
Budget for long stay?
My friend and I are planning on buying a one way ticket and stay in Mexico for a few months. He will be doing a diving instructor course and then try to find a job. But how much does it cost per month to stay in this area? Is it easy to find cheap food? What can we espect to pay for renting a small place? At this time we have been mainly looking at Cozumel but nothing is decided yet. Is there a big difference in prices depending on where you go?
Hope someone is able to answer this! Thanks in advance
Pre-purchase ADO bus tickets from Cancun to Merida?
Is there any way to pre-purchase bus tickets from the Cancun airport to Merida? The pre-purcase price is much less but it doesn't seem possible. Does anyone know for sure?
Thank you.
5 Days - So Many Things Want To Do
We are staying a total of 5 days in Cancun (plus 2 days for flying in and flying out). This is what we want to see/do - we have our own car. Tulum and/or Chichen Itza for pyramids; Cenote; Isle de Muejeres, massages; Playa del Carmen and possibly Cozumel for a day. Anything we could delete/combine in one day? Would like to make it as efficient and fun as possible. If these are too much to do in our short time there, then suggestions on what we should cut out. Is Cozumel worth a one day visit or should we just stay around or outside Cancun? Thought since we were so close.......:) Thank you so much!!
Travel to Playa del Carmen
I would like to spend a day in Playa del Carmen. What is the least expensive way to do this?
Yucatan friends!
Hello, I am planning to fly to Cancun and then travel to playa del carmen and Tulum. I would love to meet people who are familiar with the region, as it is my first time flying south.
Thanks so much for letting me know how you are doing.
getting around
I will be staying at bahia principe coba riviera maya and would like to know if there is a way to get around to akumal beach, tulum ruins and a cenote without taking a tour but rather going on our own
margaritaville cancun?
I would like to know if they re-opened?
Fishing in May 2016
I want to go fishing when I visit. Rather than book an excursion, I would like to pay a local to take me (possibly two more ple) out. Anyone have the inside scoop? Thx Jenni
Which is a better hotel for families?
Please can anyone help... traveling in August 2016, 2 children 10 and 12 - which hotel would you recommend Casa Las Tortuga or HM Paraiso del Mar? Any ideas for things to do with kids? Which is the best boat to go out and see the Flamingos/fishing/snorkeling etc? Many thanks... Also has anyone been to Talum - and if so, where you spend more time with kids, Talum or Holbox - or if you had 14 nights, how would you split them?
Best "From Shore" Snorkeling?
My wife & I will be in Cozumel next week. We may end up on a snorkeling excursion, but would also like to know which areas are best to do your own thing from shore.
2016 vacation March
I have tried posting this 3 times now. Not sure where it is going. But would love some help.
We have never been to Mexico before. Planning a trip this year. Part of which will be spent around the Playa Del Carmen area. Looking for beaches, relaxation, to soak in the culture, and some good drinks - not on the party scene. We will be flying out of Cancun and were wondering what the best way to spend 4 days would be...Starting point - Playa Del Carmen. (after returning from Cozumel). Any suggestions would be helpful.
Staying in Playacar
If you are staying in a condo in Playacar 1, where is the beach access? I heard it is hard to find public access if you aren't staying in the big resorts.
Spending money
We have a 10 day all-inclusive hotel stay. I am wondering how much spending money to take. I have looked at the excursions, but the canadian dollar is tanking, and I do not think they are affordable anymore. I would like to jump on a bus, and head down to tulum ruins, and also go to the 4 cenotes on a different day. I cannot find a reliable cost for doing these on our own, only by excursions and they are averaging $1025.00 canadian each for the five of us. Way too expensive!
Tours or what to do
Hi, we are travelling to Playa del carmen on June an would like to know of any agency or operator to book some nice tours. My friends and I wouldn't like to share the tour with outher people, we'd rather have it as a private service. Do you know any guides or business that offer something like this? Our budget isn't tight and we're 10 people.
We are interested in something like Akumal, Yucatán, Chichén Itzá and places like that is what we want to visit.

The big new from AMD, meet the 68xx series
Subject: General Tech | October 19, 2010 - 12:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
AMD has been busy showing off their new Llano APU, four Phenom II-derived CPU cores on a single die
with a graphics processor on the side. For something new they are showing off some silicon that is actually powering a demo and HyperPi, as opposed to just showing off a shiny wafer or three. You can also see some shots of the new HD6870 and HD6850 at The Tech Report, but no benchmarks for a little while yet. Not too long though.

Be it a harmless prank or something a little more nefarious the Phone Creeper phone espionage suite offers a way to control someone else's phone via undetectable SMS messages. It is more likely to be useful for pranks as you need access to the phone so that the program can be loaded via an infected SD card. Once you've overcome that hurdle, the program is almost impossible to detect and essentially allows you more control over the phone than the person it belongs to. Take control over

Viewsonic has 3D for AMD
Subject: General Tech | October 15, 2010 - 02:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It has been a while coming but finally we have a monitor that can support AMD's 3D implementation and nVIDIA will have some competition. Of course there are two big problems with this new monitor; AMD's support for 3D begins with their 6xxx series of cards, which are not available. There is also a larger problem, 3D TV adoption is very low, many people simply are not interested. Take a peek over at The Inquirer.

Much of the news is good, they describe a game that seems to have some depth to it, as well as impressive explosions.

WiFi on the highway

For the most part, when someone is on the move in a fast moving vehicle they depend on the 3G cell network (or 4G if they're lucky) to provide their data connection. The problem is one of pricing, as utilizing the cellular network to move any amount of data tends to add up to a noticeable expense over time whereas WiFi tends to be free. Enter Wiffler, a "prediction based offloading"

The 6800 leak is more confusing than exciting
Subject: General Tech | October 12, 2010 - 01:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
On the internet you can find some benchmark results that may well show the current performance levels of the HD6850 and HD6870, ones that are not terribly encouraging. The results were purportedly generated from tests of using 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 2006 and both cards seem to have scored lower than the HD5800 cards that preceded them. If the leak is valid it raises some interesting questions about the drivers, benchmark integration and performance of the cards in games.

This repo contains code for a PHP blogging application that demonstrates the use of several B2C policies: general sign-in/sign-up without multifactor authetication, sign-in/sign-up with multifactor authentication, and profile editing. Users designated as administrators must login with the administrator policy requiring multifactor authentication. Administrators have the ability to create new blog posts. The application also illustrates how to receive and verify id-tokens from the B2C endpoint following the OpenID Connect standard.
A live version of this application is available here: https://olenablog.azurewebsites.net/
The instructions below show you how to run/deploy your own blogging application using PHP (with the framework Laravel) and IIS on Windows.

In the terminal, type the command "php artisan serve" and navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to see your website in action.
If you get stuck at any point, try taking a look at these instructions.
git init and
git remote add azure [deployment URL] to set up deployment to Azure.
git push azure master to deploy online.
The main logic is in "app/Http/routes.php." Helper functions and classes are located in "app/Http/Controllers". In particular, if you are interested in the token verification logic, see "app/Http/Controllers/TokenChecker.php". The rest of the code is mainly associated with the Laravel framework.

Green Beans and Broccoli With a Bacon-Lemon Topping
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 10 mins
Lots of vitamins and a tangy taste! Blanch the veggies while you make the topping. If you want more sauce, use more lemon juice and also more sugar and mustard. Use young, fine green beans for this.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 lb green beans, fine
- 12 ounces broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onions, chopped or 1 small shallot
- 5 slices lean bacon, chopped
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon grainy prepared mustard
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar (to taste)
- salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse, freshly ground
- Prepare the vegetables and put it all in a pot with a little water, and bring to a boil. Parboil only, for about 2 - 3 minutes, until bright green but still a little crunchy. Add salt and drain in a colander or sieve.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet, then add the chopped onion and bacon. Use fairly high heat, and stir often with a wooden spoon, until onions and bacon are soft, not brown or crisp.
- Turn heat off, but keep on the hob while adding lemon juice, sugar (or substitute) and mustard. Mix all well with the back of a spoon.
- Put the vegetables in a heated oven dish, then ladle over the bacon-lemon topping.
- There won't be much sauce, as my idea was to flavour but not obscure the crunchy taste of the fresh veggies.
- If the vegetables have cooled while you made the sauce topping, cover the dish with foil and leave in a warming oven to warm through -- but not for too long!
- Nice with any meat dish and rice.

Wow, this is a fab recipe, a real keeper! Loved this, the flavours blend together in the most enticing way, wonderful way to enjoy your green veggies! And so quick and easy! Thank you Zurie, this was made in memory of your dear husband.
Excellent side dish, and so easy to make. I steamed the broccoli and beans, and cooked the bacon and onions in a bit of bacon fat rather than the oil and butter. Zurie, we have similar tastes, so I used the specified amount of sugar and lemon, and the balance of flavours was perfect. Added a few cloves of garlic too. My only mistake, and it was my mistake, was to leave the broccoli and beans in the steamer with the lid on. Oops! They kept steaming even after I turned off the heat, so the veggies were much softer than I meant them to be. A lesson learned. I'll remember the next time. Thanks so much for posting this tasty recipe.
I loved the tangy/tart/sweet/salty flavors in this! I did use plain white sugar instead of the brown, and added some fresh cracked pepper to the shallot/bacon mixture. I took off the 1 star because our friends were kinda iffy on this. The girls liked it alot, but the boys said that if there was no bacon they wouldn't like it (typical boy!). Also, it seemed to me that the dressing stuck to the broccoli better, so I may just use broccoli next time.

6 Reasons to Not Eat the Rainbow: These White Foods Are Super-Healthy Too!
By Katie Cavuto, M.S., R.D., January 28, 2016 - 9:59am
Don't judge a vegetable by its color alone. Vibrant fruits and vegetables have standout appeal, but recommendations to "eat the rainbow" can exclude one underappreciated category: white fruits and vegetables. These boast a variety of flavors and noteworthy nutrition accolades, according to research published in Advances in Nutrition. The researchers pointed out that many nutrients—including several that Americans don't get enough of—and good-for-you phytochemicals that give fruits and veggies their health benefits are not always colorful. Here are 6 reasons (and recipes) to eat more onions, turnips, cauliflower, potatoes, pears and garlic.
1. OnionsRich in the antioxidant quercetin, onions may ease hay fever, eczema and food allergies, according to Japanese researchers.
Recipe: Beer-Braised Cipollini Onions
2. TurnipsBest known for their cancer-fighting properties as members of the cruciferous vegetable family, turnips are also high in nitrate, which may decrease blood pressure.
Recipe: Creamy Turnip Soup

Actually, this is not a lot different from when the state recaptured the town, but still worrying.
A blog commenting on various aspects of the private collecting and trade in archaeological artefacts today and their effect on the archaeological record.
When the collector learned the piece had been pilfered while trying to auction it off in 2015, he turned it over to the FBI in New York, the feds said. The FBI briefly put the statue on display at the New York Historical Society Library on Central Park West and West 76th Street on Wednesday afternoon before shipping it back to its home.This shows the importance of not buying artefacts which have no proper documentation to support the dealer's word-of-mouth assurances that the item is kosher. The Torlonia Peplophoros proved to be an expensive lesson for one collector. Let's hope the dealer is still in business and the collector sues him for a return of his money.
|Artefact hunting for free? They
are taking away our heritage
The Port of London Authority, which owns the river bank along with the Crown Estate, has ordered a clampdown as treasure hunting has soared in popularity. Previously anyone could look for fragments of the past, ranging from Roman coins to Delftware pottery, provided they did not scrape or dig the surface to retrieve them. Under the clampdown, any form of searching for objects washed up by the tides is prohibited unless the mudlarks hold a permit, which costs £32 for a day or £75 for three years. PLA spokesman Martin Garside said there was "worry within the archaeological community" that amateur treasure seekers were failing to report significant finds. "If you're going down there with the intention of looking for something you need to have a permit," he said.Susie Mesure, 'Mudlarks on Thames told to get £32 permits to save heritage' Evening Standard · Monday 5 December 2016 ·
Rescue_News @rescue_news 6 godz.6 godzin temuPAS are you going to step in and do some real archaeological outreach about this kind of thing? Maybe this decade (your third)?
"Saving" heritage involves investigating it properly in controlled works by qualified practitioners. Not charging amateurs cash to dig it up
|'Ptolemaic empire' (wikimedia Eubulides)
This is significant because such restrictions ignore evidence that demonstrates that Egyptian mint coins are regularly discovered outside of Egypt. [...] Hoard evidence confirms Ptolemaic coins from Egyptian mints circulated throughout the Ptolemaic Empire which stretched well beyond the confines of modern-day Egypt [...] They also ignored finds reported under the UK's PAS that show Roman Egyptian Tetradrachms circulated as far away as Roman Britain.This is really dodgy argumentation. Firstly those hoard coins from elsewhere in the Ptolemaic Empire cannot be reaching the market legally, since in all the countries concerned, the reporting and surrender of any discovered hoard to the authorities is mandatory (as it is in the UK too). Any dealer handling material which has been dug up and not reported is dealing in illicit and stolen goods. Any dealer handling such material who insists that despite these constraints the material in his stockroom has been obtained in a means entirely in accord with all applicable laws is story-telling unless he has documentation which demonstrates that which can be passed on to the responsible purchaser. If there is no such documentation, the dealer concerned should not pretend to the title 'responsible dealer', because he has not bought in any way responsibly.

Yahoo's Jeff Passan is reporting that the Phillies have signed Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez to a six year, $50 million pact that can be worth more than $60 million. Passan reports that the Phillies beat out the Red Sox to land Gonzalez. Gonzalez, 26, is a righty that reaches the mid-90s with a fastball and also has a "change-up, fork, and curveball," according to DJ Short. Short notes that Gonzalez made a name for himself in the 2010 University Baseball Championships but has pitched sparingly since after being suspended for trying to flee Cuba.
The news comes as somewhat as a surprise and a bit oddly-timed as it was learned today from ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that the Phillies were being peppered with offers for Cliff Lee. Lee is the best pitcher on the market – could Gonzalez's signing be a sign that the Phillies are willing to trade him?
57 Comments
How do you fly Cuba?
Maybe they are keeping Lee, buying not selling.
The Phillies aren't trading a former Cy Young winner just because they signed him. It means they're serious about competing next year (as RAJ said all along), and in order to do that, they must keep Lee. Trading him would offset this signing.
Maybe Gonzalez is a power hitter, too in which case he can score the one run the team will produce for him.
I agree. I think it is more likely that this signing will lead to them keep Lee and maybe trade a different pitcher like Kendrick (if anyone's interested in him as a rental) or even a young pitcher from the system like Pettibone, Martin or even Biddle.
Maybe RAJ learned his mistake in trading Lee after getting Roy and won't do this again. Kendrick, Lannan, Pettibone should be on the market to the Padres though. Will be an interesting September with Revere, Roy, Ryan and MG all on the roster. Buy? Buy? Buy?
Word is that this guy is major-league ready.
Trading Lee would "offset" this signing in a way, but would also allow them to restock the prospect pipeline while still retaining a potent (and younger) 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation. Would you rather have "3 Aces and a weak farm system," or "2 Aces and some nice prospects?"
I'm thinking this means Chooch might be sticking around for another year.
Lee scratched from next start with stiff neck…hmm
I would rather have 2 aces and the prospects. Cliff lee should bring back several good prospects because he's a true number one pitcher and is signed for a few years. I hope this goes thrum because the philllies need this bad. Now Cole being an ace. Forget it. Maybe a number 3.
From what I've read, Gonzalez is not considered to be an "ace." Some scouts even project him as low as low-leverage relief.
So if Lee is traded, you'd only have 0ne ace and some prospects.
He is 26 years old.
If he is not major league ready it is a major problem.
A piece of good news at least.
I don't know anything about this Cuban pitcher nor have I read or heard any official word from the Phillies management about the rumored signing so I won't comment on it.. What I have heard from tonight's game is Cliff Lee will NOT pitch in tomorrow's game due to a "stiff" neck. It sounds like one of those phony excuses to keep him inactive while negotiating a possible deal with another club for Lee's services.
I do think that Michael Young is going to the New York Yankees in exchange for a low level prospect.. possibly one from their double A Trenton Thunder club. If and when Alex Rodriquez comes off the DL, he will likely be the DH in their lineup and Young goes to 3B. In the meantime, Phillies will call up Cody Asche from Lehigh Valley and take over the vacant 3B or share with Frandsen.
Tomorrow night matchup.. Detroit's Max Scherzerr (14-1) faces Raul Valdes (1-0) as the Phillies try to snap their 6 game losing streak. Good luck (smile).
Interesting move. Drop a ton of cash on a hard throwing 27 year old who did fantastic in international ball, but hasn't pitched in the MLB, who might be a star or the next J. Andujar, a hard throwing pitcher who has two really good years and the rest average. Or we could've used that money now or in the off season to acquire a right fielder and some bullpen help. Curious to see how this turns out before I pass a final judgment.
They needed a #3 starter to replace Halladay, so $8M per year for a potential #3 seems like a good deal. By replacing $20M Halladay with $8M Gonzalez, they'll have extra money to spend on a real RF. This looks like a very good, proactive move by RAJ, which is outside-of-the-box for this front office and surely outside of its comfort zone.
HK and George,
I see both your points and agree. I also agree that any current bullpen help and outfield, the Slim Pickens it is, would be too costly (prospects). I just worry that this guy could be a huge risk and bust, but I like the out of box thinking, but it is too early to judge if it is successful or not.
The only right fielders and bullpen pieces available right now would cost prospects. There will be those types available in free agency, and any money spent for Gonzalez will be regained with contracts coming off the books. Also, as they say, you can never have too much pitching.
I am not suggesting that they look for the 2014 RF right now. That should wait until the off-season. Even if they don't make any trades at the deadline, they'll have a lot of money free to address C and RF if they only do the following:
* Replacing Halladay with Gonzalez (saves ~$12M)
* Replacing Young with Asche / Frandsen (saves ~$5M)
* Keeping KK as the 4th SP and Pettibone as the 5th SP is approximately dollar neutral with KK's raise offset by freeing up Lannan's money
* Extend Utley for roughly what he is making this season
hk, my comment was in response to Big Ed. I was pointing out to him why the Phils didn't spend the Gonzalez money on a right fielder or bullpen piece right now. Reread my comment and I think you'll find that I said pretty much what you did, with the exception of the "out of box" thing. I agree with that, too. This front office has never seemed very interested in international signings before.
Yes, I misread your comment and I agree that we agree. That being said, now that they have Gonzalez signed, it would not surprise me if RAJ tries to trade a young pitcher for a RF who it under team control beyond this year. Not that I am recommending this, but I would not be terribly surprised if they acquire someone like Alex Rios from the White Sox to man RF for the remainder of this year, next year and possibly 2015.
hk, that wouldn't surprise me, either. Just so long as they don't forfeit a real performer, I'd be okay with that, too. I'd be concerned, however, that Rios might still be too expensive, costing someone like Biddle. Lannan and Halladay will both be free agents and quite possibly pitch elsewhere next year. Even with Gonzalez, the Phils still might need a young pitcher to complete the rotation, and I hope they still have some good ones around.
I like to think that if Ruben is not managing the roster all that well that he can at least, with help, look at a guy and be able to tell if he is major league ready. I would guess that he is. There is a reason that had to pay all that money to get him. I think that Cliff is gonna go.
The Dipsy
Just a question: Real RF? That guy could be Dom Brown. When Howard comes back, and IF Ruf is gonna play, Ruf will have to go to left and put Brown in right, with Revere in center. It strikes me that if the Phils wanna make a big splash at an offensive position, it would have to be at 3B. And you have Asche and Franco there.
Or catcher. Brian McCann anyone?
Solution? Trade Revere. I hear ya, he was hitting well and he's fast. But he has NO power, NO OBP and he sucks defensively, which is remarkable for being so fast. How about Choo? Keep Revere and trade Ruf (as a throw in because he is worth nothing as a LF and even less as a 1B). Halladay gone. Utley Gone. Lee probably gone. Chooch gone. Money free. How about this:
RF – Choo
CF – Revere
LF – Brown
C – McCann
1B – Howard
SS – Rollins
3B – Asche
2B – Hernandez
Its possible. 'If you will it, then it is no dream"
The Dipsy
I think the trade focus is backwards.
I'd get rid of everybody except Brown, Utley, Lee, Hamels and the ball girls, bring up the nearest to be ready guys and fill the organization with young prospects in return for rest of 'em.
I'd trade the ballgirls, too. They'd be worth far more in prospects than D. Young, Laynce Nix, Michael Martinez, John McDonald, Justin DeFratus, Diekman, Ramirez, and most of the other BP arms.
Unfortunately, with most anybody except those you would keep, you won't get anything except organizational filler, which is already what the system is mostly stuffed with.
Point taken. Maybe get a prospect rather than prospects for the rest of the bunch.
But if you're going to trade the ball girls I'd trade them for a 7th inning doggie man and a starting beer guy.
I've reconsidered, and decided that they should keep one of the ballgirls. She can take over for Delmon Young. Any of those girls would catch up with more flyballs and look way, WAY better doing it!
5 LH in a row leaves us vulnerable. Plus I bet they keep Utley. Still need RH bat.
Choo would have been a good pickup a few years ago. He is a good player but also on the edge of that "about to start declining" point. The last thing they needs is another guy over 30.
The thing about Choo is is that a three year deal would probably do it. If you believe that the Phils are "retooling and not rebuilding" then Choo would be a good part to add. I like his OBP and his penchant for stealing a base.
McCann is the guy though. The beauty part is that you will have to sign him to a longer contract and you don't like to do that with a catcher. But I would do it and move him to first when The Black Hole leaves. I wish they had salary amnesty in baseball.
The Dipsy
I really like the idea of salary amnesty in baseball. I just wonder who ????
Don't know much about history, don't know much biology, and geting out of plagerism mode, I know even less about the payroll tax.
for expression's sake…..
The scout reports, presumably quoted accurately include MAG at worst as a "low leverage" reliever. That's innings 5-7. Maybe true ideally, but that went out the window when the negotiating range came in. A starter is a starter is a starter/ But of greater relavance to the point at hand, seems like no reason he won't get a parent club look see for at least a month.
And I assume his prorated pay gets charged to the "cap," which I might be wrong, but the Phils have been pretty close to all year. So at least 1 more deal, 1 with salary reduction getting some attention gets done, or perhaps evaluated from a salary standpoint. . Maybe Mike Young went from pretty darned likely to pretty definite. If we're onto anything at all with this payroll tax thing which may well not even be the case. All I know for sure is even paying a sales tax for the YTD Phillie product is overcharge, let alone a payroll tax, so common sense tells me you try to avoid it.
According to cot's, the Phillies payroll this season is well below the luxury tax limit. They list it at $159.6M, down from $170.1M last year.
Lemme ask you a question, hk.
You answered a non question, maybe you'll answer a question.
I don't know that a deal is at all possible logistically since the duest hasn't settled, but with what 3-4 days left in liquidity time, and from that standpoint maybe a good flexibity time….what would you think of Rube calling Melvin, and saying let's talk Ryan Braun.
Would you even make the call, and what would you pay, and what's fair to Doug and the Brewers.
I've been thinking about it the last few days, same as the old sell high philosophy related to Dom Brown, just for fun, but personally, I think I'd call Melvin and kick the tires. I don't think there's a PR backlash in initiating the question.
Thanks for reading Creative Questions 101, and have a good weekend.
Since you asked…I would absolutely be okay if RAJ pursued Braun. Over the years, I've come to root for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back. I cheered when the wife beater Brett Myers saved the division clinching game in 2007 and I would cheer if the bat tossing, anti-Semite Delmon Young ever contributed to a big win for this team. Therefore, I would be happy if the Phillies accomplished something with Braun on the team. That being said, I don't think the Phillies have what it would take to get Braun. There would be no need for Milwaukee to trade him now, since they're not paying him anything until next year and I bet next year, he'll be embraced by most of the Brewer faithful. Thanks for asking the creative question and enjoy the rest of the weekend – the Phillies games in Detroit notwithstanding.
I'm not the one you asked, Ken, but I'll give you my opinion on Braun:
Let the Brewers keep him. He's not only a cheater, but a liar. His apology was very weak considering his behavior. His teammates don't seem to like him anymore, nor his business partner.
Just asking could cause a fan backlash. It might not, but I certainly wouldn't risk that. And having him on the team definitely would cause some fans to cancel their tickets.
There's also no way of knowing how good/bad he'd be without the drugs, or how long he'd last after their side-effects show up.
I guess it's a good thing that Carlos Ruiz was only a cheater and didn't lie. His apology was just as bad as Braun's though.
It's complicated. Say we actually win and Braun is a big cog in the machine. How satisfying would that be? Just asking. As for Braun, starting over with a clean slate somewhere else is obviously for the best. But here? I don't think I want that.
I'd imagine your reaction's pretty much the norm on Braun. I guess I'm engaged in trying to look past this initial uproar and guessing where the dust settles. Maybe a little more in line with PhotoFred's comments beloe. Probably not too wrong to be negative on the situation,maybe my number one point was that I'd at least make a phone call to the Crew. That single point, I'm pretty much 100 % sure is right to do.
I have gotten a kick out of Braun looking real stupid but becoming so law abiding suddenly by respecting the gag order and not talking. Suddenly, it's "easy" to follow rules?
I'll also give you another preconceived notion I have pre phone call. I'm not paying the whole of that contract. I'm sure Mr. Melvin would anticipate that stance with every ring of the ting a ling.
I didn't said a thing about Ruiz, although I will say now that I didn't like the Adderall thing.
I'll also say that his suspension was for an entirely different drug and that he accepted the suspension, whereas Braun the first time fought against his suspension tooth and nail. Only now, when the evidence is overwhelming, has he admitted anything.
Had Ruiz been covering up so blatantly, or had he been using steroids instead of a medicine that's actually prescribed and taken by many others, I'd be totally down on him, too. As it is, even with those differences, I'm not about to defend Ruiz, and see no reason why he shouldn't be shipped out before the deadline. There's a difference between the two cases, but that doesn't mean I think one of them was okay.
So they now have $100 million tied up in two relievers – a closer with dropping velocity and effectiveness and the other, wherever he's going to be utilized, with no major league experience and bone spurs.
There are a lot of people who think Gonzalez will be more than a relief pitcher, and I've yet to see anything about bone chips. I'm sure they'll do a physical before the deal is finalized anyway.
Aroldis Chapman – $30.25 million
Yoenis Cespedes – $36 million
Yasiel Puig – $42 million
Miguel Gonzales – $50 million
Based on my international player to price calculation guide this guy better be the next coming of Grover Cleveland Alexander, Robin Roberts and Steve Carlton rolled into one.
$50 million is a bargain for a middle reliever with elbow issues!
"Gonzalez is a high-risk signing in more ways than one, reports ESPN's Buster Olney. Olney says that other teams saw "elbow questions" with Gonzalez to go along with his long layoff from pitching (in addition to the regular uncertainties with international signings). The perception around the league, according to Olney, is that the Phillies must have seen this information more positively than most. "
RAJ seems to process a lot of information differently than most GMs, so I'm sure this signing will have a positive outcome.
Those amounts help to confirm what I've thought has been happening all along, that the Phillies were in on those negotiations too, and lost.
You come to a point where you gotta be saying- We keep missing out, let's not blow this one.
As far as where this guy projects ( this is for you Carlos Danger ), no one, and I mean no one knows for certain. That's where the incentives become important. He can make 50m if he wants to be a "low leverage reliever", or maybe as much as 60 as an innings eating starter with heat. I'll say right here and now, that half the pitchers in MLB could blow an elbow tomorrow, the science isn't advanced enough to tell us that yet. Cole had elbow problems and elbow surgery, and no one I know thought they gave him a bad deal.
IMO- A job well done by the Phillies FO.
I agree with you Lefty.
The team needs to pursue players like Gonzalez, especially out of system guys who have for too long been under their scouting radar or budget considerations of many teams.
That said, the Phillies jumped in when the ante was at it's highest and that could end up being akin to buying a stock at its historical peak. So while the return potential is high so too is the investment risk.
But yes, I think they had to take the shot.
I just wish they had invested the same (or lower) amount in landing a Cespedes or a Puig.
(Imagine a 5-tool Phillies outfield in center or right).
Perhaps they did try but actual signing numbers would suggest they needed to try harder.
Losing games by 3-1 or 2-1 won't help Gonzalez's W-L record any more than it's helped Lee and Hamels over the last two seasons -and it's hard to improve on either of those two.
Not so hard would be improving our outfield.
As George suggested, put our most skilled ball girl in right field and you'll have an automatic upgrade.
And at least play the other ball girl in center as a late inning defensive arm if she can throw it to second on less than 3 hops and a dribble.
In the meantime, we have yet to do any favors for our ace pitchers – and even less for our half-ace pitchers.
Signings can be different from one another. Sometimes a team may drop out of bidding because they might perceive that no matter how high they go, the other team will bid higher. There's not much sense in trying unless it's to send fans a message that "at least we tried."
When the sense is that the other team will only go so high, and you really need or want that player, you go for it.
Thare's also the budget to consider. The Phils were really close to the lux tax at the time of the Cespedes and Soler bidding. Ownership may have put on the brakes. Not sure about Puig, but money still may heve been an issue. Gonzalez won't be a budget strain with money coming off the books and a TV deal looming. Even if he bombs, he's worth the risk if only because his signing sends a message to other GMs that the Phils are now a team to watch in the international market.
This signing shows, among other things, that the Phillies have *PLENTY* of cash. The just don't wanna go over the cap. I think thats why they were more than happy to spend like a drunken sailor on this guy. Don't forget, a lot of teams wanted this guy and there's a reason he cost so much. I think he might be good. And what's Olney gonna say? He's not gonna go out on a limb and say its a great sign. Its much easier to say "watch that elbow!".
The Dipsy
Right. For every scout or front office executive thinking this guy's a reliever, there's another who says his upside is a good #3 starter. In this day and age, $8M per year seems about right for someone who projects as somewhere between a good #3 SP and a RP. More importantly, the Phils apparently have some well respected international scouts, even though the front office never spent big money internationally before. If the scout or scouts who found Chooch, Tocci and Maikel Franco are involved with recommending this guy to RAJ, I'm more than good with this signing regardless of how it turns out.
If Gonzalez does become a good #3, then actually he'll be paid a little on the cut-rate side. It might be a fairly long contract, but the AAV isn't all that high.
I'm not worried about Olney's view. With the number of teams bidding, the money being offered, and considering that one of those teams was the Red Sox, who already have a pretty decent farm system, I'd guess Gonzalez's upside is probably a little closer to that #3 rating.
Agreed on both parts. $8M/year is reasonable if he's something less than a #3 SP and something more than the last man in the bullpen and it's a bargain if he turns out to be a good #3. I also take anything Olney says or writes with many grains of salt. I'm not usually one of those "the national media hates Philadelphia" types, but something tells me that Olney would have had a slightly different take on this if the Red Sox had signed Gonzalez.
Phils Intl scouting director Agostinelli is pretty well respected, and there were a lot of teams in on Gonzalez..we should be optimistic.
The Phillies are probably going to trade Michael Young, Chooch, and one of either Pettibone or Kendrick. They will resign Halladay to an incentive laden contract. Trade Rollins in the off season. Resign Utley. The salary cap goes to 187MM next year. They bring Pence back.
Starting rotation
Lee, Hamels, Halladay, Gonzalez, Pettibone or Kendrick (the one they don't trade).
Howard, Utley, Galvis, Asche
Brown, Revere, Pence
Bullpen will need more work yet again
Galvis hasn't proven he can hit at the MLB level yet. Asche is unknown as well and many think Franco is better. If they were going to go young, I would rather see them move Asche to 2nd base, use Franco at third and Galvis as a utility guy. I don't see Hunter coming back. I would really like a guy with a higher OBP out in right field.
Not sure anyone would take Jimmy at this point.
Shortstops are hard to find, even declining ones. The Cards have been looking for one, and I'm sure there are others.
The problems with dealing Rollins are a fairly long contract and his 10/5 rights. I have no doubt that some team would take him, if he's willing. I don't think they'd get much for him, though.
As far as 3rd base goes, Schmidt, Rolen and Brooks Robinson were all unknowns, and Chipper Jones was a shortstop when he came up. While Franco might be better than Asche, he doesn't have as much experience and may not be as ready. One of the two can always be moved later, like Jones was.
With that starting pitching, outfield., and infield., the mets will finish ahead of us. The only true ace is cliff lee. Everyone else is, praying they have a good year. I don't think the Phil's want pence and I think he'll take a pay cut to stay in San fran. He loves it there. The Phil's need to trade almost anyone to get some a few top 100 prospects, have a couple good drafts, look at Cuba and international prospects, and they will probably be back in a couple of years. They need a very good g.m. who will be aggressive with moves.
This signing definitely shows that the Phils are looking to turn this around quickly. I still think they will be sellers at this deadline but think they will keep Lee. They will try to trade guys like Papelbon, Chooch, Young and maybe Utley although we would have to believe that the recent noise about extending him was a smokescreen. I love Utley but extending him makes no sense to me. The Phils will have some room to sign FA's if they play it right even with the salaries of Lee, Howard and Hamels.
