Stayed here for two nights. It's a great place to stay to meet other travelers in a relaxing environment (swimming pool, nice bar, new blocks covered in bamboo, ...). At first sight it's seems a little bit expensive but tours are included if you take a room above S/.86 so overall it's okay (breakfast also included). We've done the sandboarding with normal boards and it was really fun. Also we recommend the BBQ. Room & bathroom were clean but it mist something to hang our clothes/towels on.

Nice hostel! It is a little bit overpriced, but everything in Huacachina is expensive for Peru so in the end the difference with other places is not too big. Good atmosphere, nice food, friendly staff! Very relaxed place and the dunebuggy/sand boarding tour was fun!

Nice hostel! Relaxing atmosphere and the pool is really a must as Huacachina is hot! Nice food! Bit expensive. Tour is included within your booking. However I strongly recommend you to book Isla ballistas and sand boarding some place else as the tour agencies were not good at all, very overpriced. Also book room via their own site, much cheaper than via hostel world! (Sorry but very true..)

Awesome hostel in the oasis of Huacachina! Great place to relax at the pool or to meet people at the bar. The food at the restaurant is good too. It looks a bit pricy at first but breakfast and sandbuggy+sandboarding is included so it's not that expensive. And they have cute kittens! Would stay here again!

Finally, plans for Horsham Town Hall revealed
After six years of preparation and planning, the Horsham Rural City Council has submitted its plans for the town hall re-development, expected to be worth $17 million.
- Print page

- Permalink
The Horsham Town Hall redevelopment is a step closer to reality with the release of plans.
Horsham Rural City Council's director of community services, Angela Murphy says the revamped facility on Wilson St, will encompass a new 500 seat auditorium, refurbished hall and art gallery, an education centre and cafe.
She says plans are now available for public comment and the while the new facility will maintain the existing town hall's facade, the future of the infamous corrugated iron ribbon on its roof will be determined by Heritage Victoria.
See the entire planning application and all documents related to the design of the new Town Hall at the Horsham Rural City Council website.

Reliance Jio signs pact with Bharti for cable network
Earlier in April, Reliance Jio signed a deal worth Rs 12 bn to share Reliance Comm Ltd's fibre optic network to roll out its 4G services.
New Delhi: Reliance Industries' telecommunications arm will use Bharti Airtel's submarine cable network to provide data connectivity across Asia Pacific, the two Indian companies said on Tuesday.
The i2i cable network connects India to Singapore and is wholly owned by Bharti, India's top mobile phone carrier. Bharti and Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, unit of Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries, will continue to build on this "strategic framework" and consider other mutual areas of cooperation and development, they said.
Earlier in April, Reliance Jio signed a deal worth Rs 12 billion to share Reliance Communications Ltd's fibre optic network to roll out its 4G services.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) was informed that a number of containers were lost from a Maersk cargo ship as it crossed the northern stretches of the Bay of Biscay in stormy conditions on 14, February 2014. Some have now been spotted and one has been washed ashore reports the agency in an update.
Simon Porter, MCA Counter Pollution and Salvage Officer, now informs: "We have been carrying out extensive searches over the last four days and spotted three containers, one of which has since come ashore and the other two are mid-Channel. We are now working closely with Maersk to ensure they recover their containers, which are their property."
According to the 'Western Morning News', police are patrolling a beach in Devon after a shipping container carrying tonnes of cigarettes washed ashore. The huge container, which was spotted at Axmouth, near Seaton, at 8.11am is believed to be carrying around 14 tonnes of cigarettes.
Simon Porter continued in the MCA news release: "The public is reminded that all wreck material found in the UK has to be reported to the MCA's Receiver of Wreck by completing a form on our website - https://afrmmcanet.mcga.gov.uk/formspublic/ROW/MSF6200.pdf.
"Those who don't declare items are breaking the law and could find themselves facing hefty fines and paying the owner twice the value of the item recovered."

In a 'picture postcard' setting beside the River Skirfare, in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, stands this spacious detached cottage. Riverdale is beautifully furnished and has landscaped gardens, perfect for moon-lit barbecues, that blend into extensive 6-acre grounds which provide total seclusion for guests, making this the ideal rural retreat from which to escape the pressures of modern day life. Stunning views over river and dale can be admired from many of the rooms, and walks beckon from the doorstep, whether it be a gentle stroll along the river bank or a bracing hike over the fells. Close by lies the village of Kilnsey, with its unusual glacially sculptured overhang of rock (Kilnsey Crag), which proves popular with climbers. The National Park information point at Kilnsey Park provides information on the Crag and the surrounding area, whilst a trout farm offers a wealth of interest for families with its conservation and nature trail, trout viewing and feeding areas, as well as fly fishing on two lakes. Geared for children as well, there is a fun-fishing area for the under twelves and an adventure playground. With an estate shop, restaurant and coffee shop on-site, a complete day out can be planned in conjunction with pony trekking at Conistone. Beyond Kilnsey, stunning scenery and wonderful views can be savoured at Littondale, where Pen-y-ghent looms in the background, and idyllic Arncliffe with its village green, church and pub is only a 20-minute walk along the river and proves a popular refreshment point for walkers. West of Wharfedale, the limestone features of Malhamdale attract many visitors – Malham Cove, Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar acting as the magnets. Consisting of a sheer escarpment, crowned by a fractured pavement, there are also waterfalls and dry valleys to take in whilst walking in this awe-inspiring area. The traditional market towns of Skipton (with its well-preserved medieval castle) and Hawes (with Wensleydale Creamery and Ropemakers Museum) both make for pleasant days out. Grassington is a popular local village, easily accessible from Riverdale at only 8 miles, making a pleasant bike ride. Shop 4 miles, pub 1½ miles.
Two sitting rooms, each with wood-burning stove. Dining room. Well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with Aga. Two double bedrooms, one with 5ft bed and one with en-suite shower room and toilet. Two twin bedrooms. Bathroom with bath, shower cubicle and toilet.

Barefoot Lyrics by Nick Granato
Barefoot by Nick Granato
(Verse 1) I could act like a rebel, but that's just not my style,
Or may be good like an angel, but I know that would never fly,
Too much power brings too much pressure;
Too much money has too much stress
But what I have ain't all that bad, compared to all the rest…
(Chorus 1) I could be daring and dangerous,
Or I could live my life being proud and perilous
But most of the time you'll find me just having fun
I could be really loud and obvious, or I could hide out and be mysterious
Some would say I'm not serious enough,
But I tell you who cares what they say
I'm too busy being barefoot in the sun
(Verse 2) I could be some rodeo rider but I'm not the cowboy type
Or I could act like a superstar, but who needs all that hype
Some folks live in a fish bowl, and some are way out of hand…
So I'll be happy in my scenic existence, with my feet buried in the sand….
(Chorus 1)
Who needs all this aggravation, when life could be this good,
Who wants all those obligations, just to be misunderstood… (Break)
Chorus 2
I could be dashing and debonair, or I could try rugged with savoir-faire,
But that's not who I have become
I could act all highbrow and intelligent,
Or I might try charming and elegant,
And I've heard some say I'm not serious enough
But I tell you who cares what they say,
I'm too busy Being Barefoot in the sun
I don't have time for all this fuss; I'm too busy being barefoot in the sun
No I'm not hurting anyone; I'm too busy being barefoot in the sun…
Come play with me we can be barefoot in the sun….

Stewards Uphold Results of Palomar at Del Mar
California stewards issued a unanimous decision July 5 that Intercontinental, official winner of the Palomar Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IIT) at Del Mar last September, "did not gain an unfair advantage when it raced with a late treatment of pre-race bleeder medication."The decision was revealed in a California Horse Racing Board release that was sent after 9 p.m. PDT July 5 (after midnight EDT July 6). The release references an 11-page "statement of decision," but details weren't available.The release said Intercontinental "remains the official winner of the race."Stewards Darrel McHargue, Albert Christiansen, and Martin Hamilton conducted a hearing June 5 on protests filed by the owners and one trainer of horses that finished behind Intercontinental in the Palomar, held Sept. 3, 2005. They sought to have Intercontinental disqualified and the purse money redistributed after they learned the filly had received furosemide, a bleeder medication, 20 minutes closer to the race than allowed by CHRB rules and policy.Intercontinental is owned by Juddmonte Farms and trained by Bobby Frankel.The stewards in their ruling indicated the furosemide administered to Intercontinental was a "legal pre-race day medication." They said the contention that the late administration of the authorized medication provided an "edge" to Intercontinental in the race was "unsupported by any evidence, scientific or otherwise."Text of 11-Page Stewards Decision in Intercontinental Case

Stillwater: Agree with Eskimo Joes. T-shirt sales were second only to Hard Rock Cafe - pretty impressive. Their onion burger is worth every calorie.
Also, Hideaway Pizza. There is something about that oven and the old hippies in the kitchen that put out great food. Fried mushrooms with creamy Italian dressing.

A while ago, an article was released on the main page talking about how people learn things which are incorrect even though the correct line has already been discovered. It talked about the 2 knights opening and the Nxf7? sacrifice. I was hoping to find it again, but I am having trouble. Anyone out there wanna help me out?
You may mean, as Shadowkinight assumed, the "Fried Liver" which somehow is very popular, and surely worse than Lolli's attack (6.d4! instead of 6.Nxf7).

Griffin has good Form in keeping your iPad safe
It's been a while since we featured a decent iPad case, and that's because it's been a while since we've seen one.
But we've just laid eyes on the Griffin Elan Form Graphite case, and whilst it doesn't look too special (although it is quite swish in a minimal way) the accompanying details confirm that this is a serious iPad case contender.
And that's because it's made from a hard-wearing polycarbonate with an interwoven synthetic material. So whilst it may not jump out at you looks-wise, it will do it's job if your iPad decides to do some jumping of its own.
It's simple, it's tough and it does its job with minimal fuss - and that's why we like it.
The Elan Form Graphite case for iPad is available from Griffin Technology for £34.99 now.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?

Thursday - May 14, 2009
From: Sierra Vista, AZ
Region: Southwest
Topic: Invasive Plants
Title: Why is Asphodelus fistulosus (onionweed) forbidden by property owners assoications?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Our local property owners association is imploring us to remove all onionweed (Asphodelus fistulosus L.). The USDA lists it as a noxious weed. Why? I think it is pretty and flowery. Is it poisonous, hallucinogenic, or what? Thank you.
ANSWER:Asphodelus fistulosus (onionweed) is an invasive, non-native from southern Europe, Mediterranean Africa and western Asia. On the webpage for the Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health you can find links to several noxious plant lists on which it appears. It is very aggressive in propagating itself and has few, if any, predators since it is unpalatable to cattle and most wildlife. You can read more about its status in Arizona from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's Invaders of the Sonora Desert Region page. The Tonto National Forest in Arizona also has a page devoted to the onionweed. Mr. Smarty Plants says "thanks" to the local property owners association for helping to protect the environment from this aggressively invasive non-native plant.

PIGSKIN AND POLITICS: ESPN.com's Adam Schefter cited a source as saying that the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight & Government Reform will "convene a hearing next week to examine the science behind HGH testing and the health concerns surrounding its use." The hearing will "feature experts and individuals concerned about the dangers of performance-enhancing substances." The NFLPA has "cited the inadequacy of HGH testing as a reason for holding up implementation of a testing regime in the NFL." The hearing will "seek opinions on the subject." The source said that the hearing is "being held because the committee is upset with the union's refusal to allow the testing" (ESPN.com, 11/26).

Up for a little word association game?
March … Forced.
March … Death.
March … Madness.
OK, this is not helping — although we figure that the "madness" response is more about the national college basketball playoffs than our mental state.
March is the month that reveals our essential character. After weeks of winter, we're faced with what's known as Minnesota's snowiest month, the daunting finale of a very long opera. The lady in the puffy parka has sung, and we're just waiting for the chorus' last crescendo. Our applause will be polite but muted, muffled by mittens to discourage any encores.
Yet March also means that winter is on the wane. A vaguely familiar tune moves into our heads. Its notes are brighter than winter's low lullaby, each week humming at a slightly faster tempo. As impossible as it seems, the accelerando to spring has begun.
Several springs, actually. On March 1, meteorological spring arrived, from a concept that divides the year into neat quarters by temperature, which means that the coldest quarter is over. On the 20th, we'll mark astronomical spring, the calendar's "first day." This is the vernal equinox, when the sun's position makes day and night of equal length.
Well and good. But for a surefire sign of spring, consider this: Daylight saving time begins March 9.
Of course, for those of us here in the nation's northern reaches, this shift means only that the ferocious blizzards linked by lore to the state high school athletic tournaments have one more hour of daylight during which highways are invisible.
There is one more "spring" that appears this month, and that is the particularly hallowed one associated with "break."
Planning for the future
Spring break is the week parents firmly declared off-limits as schools began trying to make up snow days without elementary teachers having to also think up a Father's Day craft.
Scheduled toward the end of the month, spring break can be transformational. You leave school in white and gray March, then return in a less-white and less-gray April. Baby steps.
Plans for the summer begin in earnest. Boundary Waters maps are unfolded once more and a put-in point finally agreed upon. Reservations at lake resorts are confirmed. Owners of lake cabins start fielding broad hints from landlocked friends. Save-the-date postcards begin arriving for class reunions.
Phone calls with relatives take on a thrust-and-parry vibe as negotiations ensue for who is traveling where, and when, and for how long. (Gosh, are you sure you can spare a whole three-day weekend to visit Mom?)
March is when serious gardeners start their summer's produce under grow lights, burying minuscule seeds in a moist mix of compost and vermiculite. In the midst of a blizzard, which is likely, the sight of an eggplant shoot, its pair of leaves unfurling like a handlebar mustache, brings particular hope.
We begin thinking of the future instead of wallowing in the present. Those who embrace winter with their whole beings start to feel a bit poignant about the shift, even though this has been a highly satisfying winter — for those who embrace winter.
On an especially sunny afternoon, if there's no wind, you can pull a lawn chair off the hook in the garage and sit in the driveway, basking in the sudden warmth, squinting at twigs bumpled with buds and breathing air that suddenly smells, if not yet like spring, less like winter.

MONTRÉAL, Aug. 19, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - VIA Rail Canada (viarail.ca) is proud to announce that the Canadian leaving Vancouver tonight will include, for the very first time, a newly renovated Park car featuring an accessible cabin designed for people with disabilities. This new cabin is a testament to VIA Rail's continued commitment to improving the accessibility of its services in order to ensure the safety and comfort of all its passengers.
The new accessible cabin for two was designed following extensive research of accessibility requirements within the transportation industry. In total, four Park cars used on the Canadian will be reconfigured to include a fully accessible cabin. "VIA Rail is committed to pursuing the improvement of accessibility on all its services. We are proud to now offer a cabin on board the Canadian between Toronto and Vancouver with a level of comfort designed specifically for our mobility reduced passengers," declared Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, President and Chief Executive Officer of VIA Rail Canada, "from Halifax to Vancouver, VIA Rail is able to accommodate persons with disabilities on board all its trains."
Passengers wishing to reserve this cabin may do so by telephone at the toll-free number 1 888 VIA RAIL (1 888 842-7245) or 1 800 268-9803 (hearing impaired), through a travel agency or at the station.
Accessibility investments over the past few years
The newly reconfigured Park cars are amongst many other initiatives undertaken by VIA Rail to improve the accessibility of its services.
Over the past few years, VIA Rail has invested in building new accessible stations and renovating stations in order to improve the accessibility of its facilities.
The corporation has also improved accessibility to its rolling stock on other routes. Renaissance cars, used on the Ocean (Montreal–Halifax), were reconfigured to include an Economy class car wheelchair tie-down, an accessible bathroom and a fully accessible sleeper cabin on each departure. Furthermore, each Renaissance Economy class car was modified to offer seating for passengers travelling with a service animal, and fold-up armrests were installed on 2 two-person seats as well as 4 individual alley seats.
Two rail diesel cars (RDC) were recently modified for accessibility, one of which is currently in use on the Sudbury-White River route. VIA Rail also has an accessible Economy class car on each of its LRC train consists.
As well, VIA Rail's web site at viarail.ca was optimized in 2012, enabling people with disabilities to better access information on the site.
About VIA Rail Canada

Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Well after this last week of 2009 Cubs baseball, a week that included a double-header sweep by the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field the day after the Cubs were eliminated from even sniffing the playoffs, there's really only one thing to do.
Go have a giant martini.
Go out for it, to someplace worthy.
Don't have it on the rocks.
Don't have it silly.
"Apple", "Cran", "Dirty"...none of these modifiers should be used when ordering the martini I'm talking about.
Never order off a "martini" menu.
You can order "vodka shaken with ice and served up in a martini glass", but that's all it is and that's how you should order it.
A martini is made with gin.
My favorite is the original Bombay in the clear bottle with that weird woman on the label.
If you like, you can add dry vermouth, and maybe a twist (which would be lemon), or an olive.
But that's where it stops.
There should be no toying, at all, with this drink.
Only respect.
One time I was lucky enough to have one at the bar in the Redwood Room in the Clift Hotel in San Francisco.
The bar, the paneling, the tables, everything, I was told, was made from a single giant redwood tree (of course that would have been a looong time ago when such a thing wasn't so politically incorrect).
You don't want to be a dope in here.
The bartender was very distinguished and older - a man of the world.
I asked for a Bombay up with an olive.
He shook it with dignity and reserved panache, he poured it in the properly chilled glass, he set it down in front of me and turned his back.
When he turned around, he put another napkin on the bar.
Then he put the an olive on the napkin.
Now, I set myself up earlier in this post - you already know I'm the dope.
I said, "Hey, what's with the olive on the napkin?"
He crinkled his eyes.
"The oil from the olive. Kind of spoils the whole thing, doesn't it."
Now, you might take that as a put-down.
I took it seriously.
I have ever since.
And you should, too.
A toast to the 2009 Cubs season.
And then lets be done with it.
This illustration is a watercolor done from a "live" subject which was consumed after a re-shaking.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
hmmm....what's Dusty's toothpick doing in my martini?
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
What's Lou's nuts doing in my martini?
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
I always have trouble finding the "Nina"s in these things.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
F'ing girlie drinks. No thanks.
Give me a Whiskey Sour.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
That was a joke btw, though the Whiskey Sour is my preferred cocktail.
I'm kind of stoked about the Tigers/Twins game. I have some extended family that are Tigers fans, so I'll be rooting for them. It will be a tough assignment in the Metrodome as that gives the Twins an automatic advantage against most teams.
If Scott Baker is "on" he's pretty damn tough and has a nice snappy fastball. He's young, though, so it will be interesting to see if the nerves rattle him. On the Tiger's side it will be all about their streaky offense and if they can put together some runs.
Hope MLB broadcasts the game on a "normal" channel and doesn't black it out for anyone in a 3000 mile radius of Minnesota.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
The game will be on TBS.
Hoffman re-ups with the Beermakers, 1/$8.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Maybe he'll get old this winter.
Bullpen for next season
I think one positive to come out of the final month of the season was the performances of Caridad and Berg out of the bullpen. Those guys will obviously compete for spots next year, but even if they have poor spring trainings and don't make the squad, their solid work in September may have convinced both Lou and Hendry to cut bait on Heilmann and Gregg before spring begins in Arizona anyways. That will save some cash and I can't imagine that either Berg or Caridad would have the gopher ball tendencies of that duo.
Although I'm not enamored of Grabow, I imagine he'll be signed to a two or three year deal. If that's the case, I could see an effective, cheap bullpen forming next year composed of:
LHP Grabow
LHP Gaub
LHP Marshall
RHP Marmol
RHP Guzman
RHP Caridad
RHP Berg
There are also some interesting relief prospects on the horizon like Huseby. Obviously a lot depends on the offseason and how spring training shapes up, but I don't see any reason for Hendry to blow cash like he's prone to do on mediocre bullpen arms this winter.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
I think this is the first year that I have not felt even a little bit depressed that there won't be any more Cubs games this season. I didn't even feel this apathetic at any point in the Dusty Baker era.
No more facepalm for me until April and I couldn't be happier.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
The more Jim Hendry talks the worse he looks. He's quoted today as saying the Cubs are "not an old team."
Right, and Geovany Soto is not overweight. He's just "big boned."
This is a total deja vu event. Hendry has done this before.
I'd say the Cubs are old and getting older. If he brings everyone back next year the average age will be 30.0 years.
The oldest team in MLB this year is the Phillies at 30.8. The second oldest is the Dodgers at 29.6.
THIRTY IS OLD, JIM!! If you want to see how to build a good team around old players, look at the Phillies, Dodgers and Cardinals. If you want to see how not to do it, look at the Mets and yourself. But don't pretend you're not old. The Cubs are old.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
It's even worse when you consider that several key players are well past thirty. In 2010, Ramirez will be 32, Lee 35, Soriano 34, and Fukudome 33. It is virtually certain that they will decline as a group, even without injury, and they all have injury histories. It is very likely that one or more will decline significantly. They could hold the line and play up to their career norms, but the chances are not good; decline after 28 is a well-documented pattern.
ARam and DLee are FAs after 2010, but we're probably stuck with Soriano and Fukudome. In the meantime, I'm going to hope for the best, but I'd sure like to see the Cubs hang on to Fox and Hoffpauir in the almost certain event that one or more of those guys go down or are ineffective for an extended period of time.
I strongly agree that the Martini must be respected, though I prefer a Sazerac myself. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's bitters, bar syrup, mixed with ice in a shaker and strained into a chilled rocks glass that has been seasoned with Herbsaint anise liqueur. Laissez les bons temps rouler.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
we live in the era of drugs and high-paid workout regimens.
all these 1900s players and their health/decline barriers don't matter. 32-34 is the new 28...
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
use to be a range of 26-30, 'roids might have bumped it to 28-32 at least by one study I remember reading...it sure isn't 34 though.
33 for the longest time was age of dramatic fall-off, conveniently Soriano's age (also D. Lee's though).
Cubs are ancient though by baseball standards. Even the young guys (Hoff, Theriot, Fontenot) are about to hit 30.
Old pitchers don't bother me as much as old hitters, but Hendry would be wise to do a few more DeRosa-like trades and start getting younger.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
crunch, love your posts all summer, admire your brave efforts to be rational about Bradley. But I don't think workouts and drugs can repeal the laws of nature: http://m.si.com/news/to/to/detail/1705021;jsession.... It's been a long day, just cut and paste, dudes.
As I said in my original post, I would love to see the Cubs' aging players defy the odds, but one has to look at the general probabilities, and those don't look good.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
That article reinforces crunch's point.
Succinctly, you can't take any trend, or in this case a grab bag of anecdotal evidence and apply it to two or three guys and come out with an accurate forecast.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
In 2010, Ramirez will be 32, Lee 35, Soriano 34, and Fukudome 33. It is virtually certain that they will decline as a group, even without injury
I've noticed the Cubs crowd and TCR especially prefer young players over veterans. That's respectable and I don't want to start a big fight over it, but personally I don't mind a veteran team. A Ram, D Lee, they aren't done. That's a silly notion, imo.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
some other studies, fwiw...
also, don't think that James/Posnanski article was a study, although I believe James did one before, those SI articles are just the two of them trading emails and Posnanski edits it into an article...
considering HR numbers seem to be getting back to "normal", I think we'll see more traditional aging patterns again...of course, players break those all the time, like Derrek Lee did this season.
But I'd start looking to try and get 28 and younger sooner than later if I were Hendry....injuries, Soriano like drop-offs, etc are going to become pretty common with this current bunch....
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
The Cubs are built to win in a narrow window. From my perspective we are heading into year #4 of rying to win a World Championship in a 5 year window.
If we don't get it accomplished in the next 2 years, then the roster is probably beyond the point it will bring you a championship.
That means fire sale, a real fire sale of talent that the Cubs havent done since i have been a fan. No band-aids, no half ass fixes.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
what fire sale? most everyone's contracts are up after 2010 or 2011.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
I kind of just assumed "fire sale" = "how do you get rid of Soriano when the time comes"?
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
you've confused fire sale with donation drive....
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Can't we just set Soriano on fire? Actually, I'm holding out some hope (not a lot, but some) that he comes back healthy next year and rebounds.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Next year if Soriano, and Soto do not return to form, and the starting pitching is not as good as it was this year...the window is closed.
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
Any idea how much Heilman is going to make? Will he be with the Cubs in February?
Re: Cub Fans, Go Have A Martini
every team but the cubs has 4+ high-end sluggers...the poor cubs only have 3 (soriano, dlee, aram)...it's just not fair for a big market team to work without something everyone else has.
sure, riot and fuku get on base well up top and fuku even hits a slew of doubles with 10-15 homers, but so what...every other team has that, too.
and what is up with only having Z, dumpster, lilly, and wells? every other team has 5 kickass starters. laaaaaaame.
it's about time the cubs gave their manager something worth managing besides this trash.
this entire organization is worse than hitler, i mean milton bradley (who hit .010 with 0 homers, and 250Ks in 2/3rd of a season's worth of play when he wasn't making everyone else on the team suck via osmosis).

Just finished my 2009 Cub cocktail. A Partida reposado on the rocks with a touch of lime juice. Not that over-sweet Rose's stuff. But actual juice squeezed from the lime. In fact, with the bottle and lime still out, seems crazy not to have another.
I Blame Michael Barrett

Also, the Cubs are apparently offering Jason Schmidt 3/44.

I should have known it was already posted.
Have a safe and productive off season.

LHP Clayton Richard (released by the Cubs earlier this month) is pitching very well as a starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres and could be a good candidate to get traded to a contender looking for a veteran SP before tomorrow night's post-season roster eligibility deadline.
Because they released him, the Cubs are paying most of Richard's 2016 salary (the Cubs are on the hooks for $2M, minus the pro-rated portion of the MLB minimum salary that is paid by the Padres).
it is honestly awesome (for real) that anyone would even have a strong opinion on AZL playoffs. i guess if you invest enough time watching it, you want to see a fair/just playoff structure.
plus, the kids deserve it.
The AZL team with the best record over the course of the full 2016 AZL season and the only AZL team to play .600 ball (the AZL Dodgers) did not qualify for the AZL playoffs, and the AZL East Division team with the best record over the course of the full season (the AZL Athletics) did not qualify for the AZL playoffs, either.
That's because of the ridiculous "split season" schedule most of the minor leagues now play, a stupid system that rewards mediocrity at the expense of the worthy.
Despite good movement on his fastball, I think location kept him from getting Ks. Left some pitches up and away that got hammered up and away. Then of course Travis Wood gave up the 2-run double in the 7th, but both runs counted against Arrieta.
"i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date."
This level of discourse is #charming.
I would be having this discussion with anyone who (a) blathered on ad nauseum about the topic. (See, "Olt, Mike, not given an opportunity") or (b) responded directly to what I posted (which you did).
Have a nice day.
what would you do without me? aside from having your posting content here cut by 75%+?
i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date.
In this instance, yes, I care more about the result of this big thing that isn't really a big thing.
Two things:
Fangraphs WAR #s include baserunning and Hamilton is elite at that. He leads in SBs with the 54 and and has an 87% rate which is really good. I'm sure once he gets on base he's able to take the extra base quite often too. Both those things will up his overall WAR value.
The differences between BR and FG WAR is pretty well documented online and thus If there are discrepancies it's fairly easy to figure out why. It's fairly well accepted that BR WAR is fine as a snapshot but FG is better at predicting future value.
i have no doubt at all you quit reading at that point. you're very enamored with outcomes without caring what it takes to get there.
the fact it's exploitable, especially without someone to cover the running game for him, as well it's evolution in how people are testing possible exploits is interesting to some people...to me...i'm some people...hurrah.
some people want to check the boxscore to see who won, some want to know how it went down.
I read it as him saying it's not really that much of a concern and that the one time it really cost Lester, vs. K.C., was an anomaly.
if jeff says it, it's cool...when i say it, it's straight from the mouth of hitler.
aside from the lack of jeff touching on the insane leads runners take and lester's inability to throw if he's fielding, this is a lot of what i've said about the issue.
exploitable, needs his own personal catcher to control his shortcomings, relies on his ability to get outs along with his personal catcher keeping runners in check before things become further exploited...
That would be Rice Krispy Treat
"Crunch's cousin"
Butterfinger or Baby Ruth?
I saw the first three innings and the last three, so I didn't see Arrieta get hit. His stuff looked nasty at first...what happened? Any insight from anyone who watched?
That question came from CRUNCH's cousin.

The programmatic ecosystem has evolved significantly over the past several years, and personalized retargeting as one of many programmatic solutions has become more and more prevalent. Today, it is obvious that using a single retargeter is not always optimal. In fact, running two to three retargeting campaigns with different providers can bring much better results without any additional cost. Here's why it works.
