Yeah, me neither. When do the Winter Meeting start again? Until then, I've got questions, maybe you have some answers....
When did prospect porn become the baseball fan's vice of choice?
Regurgitating discussion from comment sections this week....but seriously, what's up with the completely absurd fascination with unproven prospects - talented as they may be - who haven't even advanced beyond the low minors?
Honestly, if I read "No way I would give up (Casey Kelly, Jesus Montero, Ryan Westmoreland, Kyle Drabek, etc) for one year of a 32 year old pitcher" one more fucking time, I think I might just go on ahead and gouge my eyes out.
There are so many things wrong with the reasoning behind this line of thought that I'm not even going to bother taking it down. Actually, yes I am:
(1) That "32 year old pitcher" is one of the best (if I was biased, I'd say the best) in the game, he's at his peak, he's not declining, and nobody works harder. I understand, prospect fans, that you love to show just how clever and informed you are by touting your team's "next big thing"....but in actuality, all you're really proving is your ignorance by dismissing the greatness of Doc. Jesus, this makes me angry.
(2) In all likelihood, you're not getting one year of Doc, you're getting a contract-extended Doc. Oh, and don't worry about the goddamned payroll - you are all big market, free spending clubs. You'll manage.
(3) Your teams are involved in the discussions because they are built to win now. Prospect X, should he pan out, will be a guy who can help you win in 2 or 3 seasons. What, you have an aversion to winning today? You'd rather roll the dice on potentially being in the same position a few seasons down the road?
(4) Please, Yankee/Red Sox/Phillies/Dodgers (to a lesser extent) fans, don't insult our intelligence by clinging to the value of "cost controlled players". Are you just trying to be cruel?
(5) That player you're touting as the next big thing? The guy you've never seen play, but can't possibly bear to lose? He'll be replaced in short order by the next guy on your team's top-10 prospect list, or perhaps by the next high schooler who slips to the 6th round on signability concerns that your team drafts and "convinces" to bypass college.
So there.
Why can't Dustin McGowan become Toronto's Jonathan Papelbon?
....minus the part about being a douchebag, of course.
I'll remind you this is all hypothetical on my part. I'll let you know that I know there's probably a prettttty, pretty slim chance that ol' Dusty can even recover from his shoulder woes to be an effective MLB arm. But hear me out - didn't Boston go through the same thing with their (begrudgingly) nails closer? I can't pretend to know the severity of Papelbon's history of arm troubles, but I do recall (with a google assist) that Papelbon was a rising power arm who was moved to the bullpen in an effort to placate that tender shoulder.
Can this scenario unfold for McGowan? And really - doesn't he seem perfect for the role? Power fastball? Check. Hammer breaking ball? Check. Superficial "unique" look required for a memorable closer? His lambchops say "check".
Bears watching, is all I'm saying.
Shouldn't we be talking a little more about Jesse Litsch?
Hey, he is what he is. Jesse Litsch is probably no more than a back end starter who can provide the club with some serviceable major league innings. That's not a knock, that's just who he is. In fact, I mean it as a compliment, because I really do believe that he doesn't receive near the credit he should for being just that.
He doesn't throw 95 and he won't get you more than about 5K/9. But if he can bounce back from his TJ (does that stand for "Tommy John" or "Toronto Jay"?) surgery and provide the club with some rotation stability, the club will be much better for it. And that, my friends, would be admirable. I'm pulling for the guy.
Do writers make absurd claims because they think the Jays are wholly incompetent? Or are they just smug?
Actually, I've got the answers here:
YES, the Jays will offer Marco Scutaro arbitration.
NO, the Jays will not accept a package of Ian Kennedy, Melky Cabrera, and Francisco Cervelli in exchange for Doc.
...and NO, Alex Anthopoulos will not "throw in" Adam Lind to "even out the deal" in exchange for your precious little prospects.
Can we convince ourselves that the disdain we feel for the Jays offseason moves to date will dissipate as the plan becomes clear?
Yeah, I probably can, personally. I've been getting on (for now) by telling myself that if these were the final moves of the offseason (throwing 2 years at Johnny Mac, signing Alex Gonzalez v2.0) rather than the first moves of the offseason, things would make more sense.
I'll carry on believing that these moves are not a precursor to more of the same in addressing the many other holes on the roster, and by April 1 we'll have reason for hope.
I keep telling myself that it's all part of the process, and AA knows what he's doing - because I want him to succeed. I'll keep believing that better days of baseball are ahead.
We have to, man.

About time. The absolute nonsense the Jays blogosphere has gone through already determining that we're suddenly the Pirates is getting tiring. I don`t think we`re competing in 2010, but I don`t think we`re entirely buried in Orioles country either.
- November 29, 2009 at 3:05 AM
Nice Post.
Yes, a few more signings will help to clarify what exactly AA's sense of building will mean, so to say that J-Mac and A-Gonz are the benchmarks for what AA will do moving forward for 2010 may be unfair. I wasn't expecting the Jays to compete for 2010 and I'd think a person who has never been a GM before just wouldn't have the ability to try and fix all the problems at once, so the decision to try and prioritize certain aspects of the building process makes sense if the team has no chance of competing in the short term.
Have the decisions so far been bad decisions? That may be perfectly moot if the Jays can't find decent pieces to solve their other problems.

You'll get a lot of Man-Love for this post. My favourite part of this blog is the authors ability to reach inside my head and take my thoughts and write it out - ostensibly with more 'fucks' than I'd use...but still.
I would love to see Boston/NY/Philly/LA fans reactions if this was turned around - like Toronto potentially trading for Josh Beckett. It would be brilliant to see the shitstorm if Jays bloggers and commenters were posting crap like 'Yeah, Arencibia and Overbay should get it done...do it now AA.'
This morning, I'm the first guy in the basketball game crowd starting the slow clap. Well done.

Totally agree with all your points. To tell you the truth, i had never thought of Dustin as a closer.....intriguing, but I also like Jason Frasor in the role last year. (a lot more than Downs anyway)
I think that what Alex A is most scared of is another AJ Burnett "happening", where one of the big clubs signs 3 type A and we get screwed out of it again. Or, even worse yet, that Doc has some health issues that make certain he won't qualify as a type A.
Otherwise, one of the NYY, BOS, or LAA will give the Jays plenty of return because they want to win NOW. People keep mentioning the LAD and PHI and I laugh my balls off. Roy, swinging a bat for the first time in his mid-30s? Running the bases and having hamstring issues? Right, I'll believe it when I see it.
Catch my comments on about why the Jays are stuck dealing with only 3 teams here: http://bluejaysdaze.blogspot.com/2009/11/take-2-teams-off-list-of-possible-doc.html
- November 29, 2009 at 7:18 AM
MLBTradeRumors posts the lists of Type A's every so often (every player is ranked, but for free agent compensation purposes only the FA's matter of course), and I think Halladay is ranked the top player overall (or at least the top pitcher), so unless he got injured and missed the whole year, we'd certainly get a first round draft pick from him if he left that route. Not saying it's likely at all, but just clearing up that it wouldn't be an AJ Burnett situation.
Also comical: Right beside this post, the RotoWorld news' top story is about how it wouldn't make sense for the Red Sox to trade Buchholz and Kelly for a 33-year old who will need a lucrative contract.

Part of the theory of developing a deep farm system is to move prospects for established players to augment the major league squad. I mean Jim Callis is the Hugh Heffner of the prospect porn, but time and again he'll tell you he'd trade (Brown, Drabek, ++, for example) for a Roy Halladay.
The odds are miniscule that Casey Kelly would ever turn into anything close to what Doc is. I can see an argument that you'd rather have Lackey and Buchholz than Doc and ????third-rate-FA???. But Casey Kelly arguments are trash.
To be quite honest, I'd much rather have Ryan Westmoreland, who is just as raw as Kelly but has as much upside is a much safer bet as a hitter than a Kelly as a pitcher.
Boston is a big market team that deals in FAs. They come (Scutaro, Holliday, Soriano?) and they go (Bay, Wagner). The end result is a gain (you get two for a departure and lose one if you sign one). Boston has had twice as many top 50 draft picks this decade as the Jays. All things equal, they can still deal half their top picks and have as good a farm system as the Jays. And that's what they'll do - deal prospects and sign Free Agents at the expense of their farm. Prospect porn be damned.
(/meandering rant)
- November 29, 2009 at 9:38 AM
- Gil Fisher said...
And while my mind is wandering - why don't we expand the trade? What else could we send to Boston?
Scott Downs? - This almost makes too much sense. The Sox are apparently looking at Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez as Papelbon support. They are type A relievers....so is Downs, but a year from FA. Boston could save a draft pick, perhaps earn a couple more after season's end (that's three first rounders!) and we could potentially protect the first round compensation pick if they sign Scutaro (or second round pick if they sign Holliday and Scutaro).
Accardo/League? We seem to have no shortage of late inning relievers - Downs, Frasor, League, Carlson, Accardo, Roenicke all seem like possibilities for eighth inning roles. Accardo and League have that high-upside stuff that might make them attractive on the market and might induce the Sox (or other team) to top up the package for Doc.
Anything else? What about taking Lowell off their hands, with some cash of course? Let's close out the decade with the Trade of the Decade. The Motherlode.
Legend has it that JP was staunch in his belief that Rios on his own should be enough to acquire an unproven, mechanically flawed Tim Lincecum and wouldn't throw in a Curtis Thipen or Jesse Litsch (depending on what legends you believe). Let's not make that mistake twice. Sometimes those throw-ins are like a catalyst, they don't amount to much before or after, but the deal can't happen without them.
What do you think? Can we grow it?
- November 29, 2009 at 9:59 AM
- Tao of Stieb said...
I wouldn't touch Mike Lowell with a ten foot pole.
I'm kinda resigned to the idea of Halladay going to NY or Boston, but I don't want to ship out a bunch of piece to bolster them just so that they'll shake loose a prospect.
As for Dusty in the pen, I think that given his issues with diabetes, it might make sense for him to have a shorter role. Not sure if he's using an insulin pump or what, but a full nine inning 120 pitch game seems as though it might be tough for him to pull off.
- November 29, 2009 at 10:36 AM
- Gil Fisher said...
If it takes Scott Downs to turn a meh return in to a nails return, you do it. You don't risk the arb offer to Downs next fall, let a big market team do that.
- November 29, 2009 at 10:55 AM
- Ty said...
Tao: Dusty Lambchops started using an insulin pump on the mound pretty much as soon as he found out he had diabetes, which was right around the time he finally started to put it all together -- probably not a coincidence. I remember an interview a couple years back where he talked about how much it helped him on the mound, so I don't think it's really a huge issue as far as IP/game goes. I agree that he'd almost definitely benefit from the reduced workload of a reliever though, and he's definitely got the stuff to be a good closer if he's healthy.

Nice post, Ack. I saw someone has quoted you over on the MLBTR forums as well.
Some of the stuff I've been reading has me thinking Doc won't be moved before the trade deadline.
Who knows, maybe the 2010 Jays will end up being the 2007 Rays. Never thought I'd be wishing my team could be more like the Rays, but there ya go.

As for McGowan, the most I hear about him is, well, over here. And that depresses me. I don't think he's coming back. Period.

- Steve G. said...
Fisher, speaking as someone who comes from the state home state as Westmoreland, he hasn't been healthy in more than a year now. His athleticism is so great that apparently he's still a great prospect, but right now, he smells more like the next incarnation of Rocco Baldelli (another RI product, by the way) than a future superstar.
Referring to the Red Sox and etc. always being in "win now" mode, I think the Yankees of the early and mid 2000s proved that that model doesn't work so well. Yeah, most of the "prospects" the Yankees traded away sucked, but they also kept forfeiting draft picks by signing non-elite free agents. While they were doing that, the Red Sox were catching up by holding on to prospects - Pedroia, Youkilis, Papelbon, Ellsbury and Lester - and contenting themselves by signing mid-range FAs - Mark Bellhorn, David Ortiz, Jeremy Giambi.
- November 29, 2009 at 11:55 PM
Mikey Lowell for Doc, straight-up! Believe!

- Gil Fisher said...
Steve, is the Warren House of Pizza still around?
I lived in Barrington when I was 9 (1979).
MLB's prospect development system favours teams who deal in FA's. The Red Sox have had double the number of top picks the Jays have had this deadline because they let go and replace free agents. For example, they're negotiating with Bay right now, but there preference will be to sign Holliday. They're similar players, but by signing Holiday instead, they'll gain a top 35 draft pick.

Belated thanks for the props fellas.
A few comments:
re: Dusty & lack of info - I know! Try googling his name for news, and you get nothin'.
re: Downs - I don't mind involving him in any deal, but truthfully, I think he's one of those guys who the home team fans will attach more value to than anyone else. He's no more than a setup man (maybe) on a contender, I would think.
re: MLBTR comments....just one big *sigh* from me there. I hate reading through those "discussions". 4 way trade involving Halladay, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez, and prospects! Get er done!
re: Scutaro....you know, it would likely be in our best interests if he signs somewhere other than Boston....because you know they will sign another FA - who may rank higher on the comp list than Scoots (example: Raf Soriano), in which case it'd be the AJ situation all over again.
Which would be kinda fitting, though.

1. I think it's only natural for fans to overrate their own players, and this includes prospects. Plus most people are idiots :)
2. I think McGowan as a closer is a very intriging idea. However, I think at this point of the Jays "Building"1 they need to develop starting pitching and if there's a chance that MacGowan can become the SP that he was over that one brief stretch, they need to make sure this happens. I vote no on Bill McGowan to Close.
3. If I had to guess, I would say Litsch is done as a major league pitcher. But then again, I was hoping they would deal him after his 13-9 season, figuring his value would never be higher.
hmmm, kind of like when I was hoping the Jays would deal Gustavo Chacin after his 13-9 season, and kind of like how I'm hoping the Jays will now deal Ricky Romero after his 13-9 season.
4. I'd go with Smug and/or God Complex.
5. The plan becoming clear sure would help, wouldn't it. But everyone should expect their disdain to grow a little more before it finally starts to dissipate and be replaced with unrealistic expectations. I call this the Blue Jays cycle of mediocrity.

Back in '05 (I think) Dusty pitched the last game of the season. A ninth inning save against the Royals. He was completely dominant. Granted it was the Royals.
But in the offseason I called Brad Arnsberg on the Fan and asked him about using Dusty as a closer. He said that was something they were looking into and it was a possibility.
They signed BJ a month later and that was that I supposed.
But it has been talked about in the Jays organization and it is something that I have mentioned on some Jays sites.
- November 30, 2009 at 1:04 PM

Ricky's stuff is a lot better than Chacin/Litsch's.
Where are we at for committed $$$ for 2010? (Including or excluding BJ's 2010 wage and Wells March/10 bonus?)
- November 30, 2009 at 1:07 PM
- Gil Fisher said...
This talk about Dusty has me thinking about Joba a bit more. They're similar pitchers. Both hard throwers. Both can deal a plus curve and slider (Joba relies on the slider more; Dusty balances his offspeed evenly between slider, curve and change). Both walking injury risks.
The only difference physically is that Dusty has diabetes and Joba needs it.
I'm not sure that I wouldn't feel better about Joba than Hughes in a deal (Hughes just hasn't seemed the same since his injury).
If push came to shove, I'd abandon both in a deal (in lieu for someone lesser) if it meant keeping both Montero and Jackson on the table.

@ Petey D. Deal Romero??! No offense but that's illogical. No Doc, No Dustin and no ricky? who's pitching some unknown from the Long Island Ducks???!!You deal a Romero if you need that last hitter as a piece of a puzzle NOT if you are rebuilding!And no Arnsberg reclamation projects either because BA is gone. As of now, they need Romero...
- November 30, 2009 at 1:34 PM
- Peter DeMarco said...
I know, on the surface it sounds like dealing Romero is a bad idea, however, this is my train of thought:
1. I think his value is at an all time high.
2. I actually see a brighter future for Marcum, Rzep and Cecil.
3. Most likely the Jays will get a pitcher coming back in the Halladay deal.
4. I think the Jays need to sign/trade for an innings eating veteran pitcher that saves the young studs arms. You don't want to burn these guys out.
5. I think hitting is a safer bet than pitching, if you can trade a pitching prospect for an equivelant hitting prospect, a rebuilding team should do so. I just think the odds are great that when the Jays are competitive, there is a better chance that Ricky Romero will be a) hurt, b) mediocre.
This leaves a rotation of:
1. Veteran Innings eater
2. Buchholtz/Hughes
3. Marcum
4. Rzepczinsky
5. Cecil
And you still have Purcey, Richmond, possibly Tallet, Jansen, Ray, McGowan and Litsch as fall back options

Until the King is moved - or not moved - all else is just shufflin' shit 'round the deck. The guys we get for him will determine who we need for the big club and who we can move from the minors.
As to AA's plan - NOTHING about it means squat for five to seven years - a 14 year old in the Dominican ain't gonna make anyone forget the King. EVEN signing all NINE of our 2010 draft picks (before the 4th round) won't mean SQUAT for at least 3 years and more likely 5 years.

@ Peter D: Handsome Tony Viner is going to come around here and verbally kick your ass. It's only a matter of time. Litsch isn't done, and Ricky Romero is the stud of the future. He is part of the amazing legacy of one J.P. Ricciardi.
As for Doc, I really hope this deal gets completed before, or at, the winter meetings. I can't take this shit anymore. I definitely don't want him at spring training. I'd rather Sept 30 at Fenway Park, when he went another 9 innings and allowed only 3 hits, be his last start as a Blue Jay.
- November 30, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Peter D:
The word 'handsome' can be used to describe the physical appearance or characteristics pertaining mainly to one's face; which are pleasing to the eye. The idea of being handsome usually conforms to generally accepted standards of beauty in terms of form, proportion etc. Moreover the old saying holds true – "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
The above term does not apply to you, as it clearly does me, and I'll tell you why:
Ricky Romero is going to be a top 10 pitcher in the AL in 2010, for MY team. He will join RZep, Cecil, Marcum and (later) McGowan and Litsch in the domination of the AL. He is no "flash in the pan", and it would take a major catching or SS prospect for me to even think of letting him out of my firm, handsome grasp.
With my plan for the future in hand, Alex will trade Doc for a major haul, that includes our SS of the future (he will take over for Mike McCoy in 2012), a big OF bat with speed, and a top pitching prospect.
My team is going to light up the scoreboard this year. Snider was my personal pick, and he will hit 30+ HR. Adam Lind (not to be confused with my less-handsome colleague, Phil Lind), will repeat his silver slugging stat line. Aaron hill and Vernon Wells will support the real heart of the lineup I have constructed: Brian Dopirak (1B) and Randy Ruiz (DH), who will combine for 60+ HR and will shock the world.
I built this team, from pitching to defence to hitting, and I am extremely smart, with devilishly handsome features. This allows me to transcend basic negotiating practices, and steal super star players from other teams (such as McCoy, Ruiz and Dopirak).
My team will prevail. 2010 will be a successful, winning year. We will win 85+ games on a small payroll, and the whole world will recognize my august, pulchritudinous, qualities.

Joba Chamberlain, Ricky Romero, and Marc Rzepczynski all had very similar FIP, tRA, and WHIP numbers for their first full years as starters, and our lefties have less service time (read: more cheap years left) than Joba. Joba has hype, though.
- November 30, 2009 at 8:33 PM
- Steve G. said...
Torgen, Joba flamed out a bit this past year for whatever reason, but his minor league numbers for 2007 blow Romero's out of the water, and he's also a couple years younger. I realize the sample size isn't great, but most of the conventional scouting wisdom is that Joba is a lot better as well.

The add phase hurts outside of LFR, and is easily the hardest phase of the fight, in my raid's opinion. Strive to only have one add phase if your dps can push her before the second Retreat.
During the add phase, focus down one add on each side to mitigate tank damage, and leave one small add alive until after both large adds are trapped in the Amber Trap.

The game doesn't have "free play", where after beating the game there is a short cut scene and you automatically get sent back to the title screen. In short,
the fact the ban rate is higher than the warning rate shows that players are not deterred or rehabilitated by Tribunal punishments at all.
The question then becomes, why are these players being pardoned if the Tribunal is already too harsh to begin with.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's decision to postpone considering an updated rule to require that brokers' recruitment compensation be disclosed when they switch firms has one industry attorney speculating the rule may be on the chopping block.
FINRA CEO Richard Ketchum said in late May that FINRA's broker bonus disclosure plan would be brought up at the self-regulator's July 11 board meeting. However, a FINRA spokesperson said Wednesday that "due to scheduling considerations," the rule had been pushed to a later date.
Securities lawyer Patrick Burns (right) says the delay is "questionable," and that FINRA provided no clear explanation for tabling the broker bonus rule. He questions whether "the rule is going to get killed through delays."
FINRA's board did decide at its July 11 meeting, however, to allow FINRA to file with the SEC proposed amendments to FINRA Rule 8312, which would require that nonregistered firms and reps be included in its BrokerCheck database as well as approved a rule to require that debt analysts disclose the conflict-of-interest information they reveal to equity investors. The rule must be ratified by the Securities and Exchange Commission before it takes effect.
FINRA's broker bonus proposal states that "customers would benefit from being told the material conflicts arising from a registered person being paid recruiting incentives to change firms." Under the plan, brokerage firms would have to inform customers about any special incentive package given to a recruit that totals more than $50,000.
In early March, Burns told AdvisorOne that with SIFMA's support, "a rule in this area seems to be a foregone conclusion," with "the only thing to be worked out is the details of the rule." Even three of the top wirehouses—Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS—gave their OK to FINRA's plan.
However, FINRA may have postponed the rule in order to iron out any potential kinks.
The SEC also approved in late June amendments to FINRA Rule 8313, which allows the self-regulator to air more information about brokers who are the subjects of disciplinary actions and complaints.
FINRA can now release on its Disciplinary Actions online database a copy of any disciplinary complaint or decision it issues, bringing it in line with the practices of other federal regulators.
As the SEC's approving order states, allowing FINRA to publicly post its disciplinary complaints and decisions "would better align FINRA's publication standards with the practices of the SEC and other regulators. The SEC publishes on its website copies of enforcement actions, including administrative proceedings and complaints filed in federal court, regardless of the type or nature of sanctions imposed. FINRA believes that to avoid confusion, the availability of disciplinary information generally should not differ among regulators."

I remember those early dinners well. My mother would ensure that there was something each of us loved -- one night there would be corn for Paul, or pasta for Chris, or artichokes for me. In return, we always ate what she made, even when we didn't like it, well, except for liver.
One time, she tried to pass off liver as steak. I wasn't fooled. I can still hear
Liver aside, those dinners were unforgettable. Even though it has been years since I have been in school or shared an early dinner with my mom and brothers, there is something--the back-to-school season or the way the sun is lower in the September sky--that brings me right back.
I shared this with my mom when she visited recently, and she agreed. "I wish I could go back one night and have all my kids around the table again. How I loved that time of day," she added.
Because I now live California, it is a rare occasion for us to be together for dinner. So I look forward to my mom's visits here (where I get to cook what she loves). On her last trip, I made one of her favorites: my fig and fennel pizza.
Fresh figs have a heart-breakingly short season (typically from August-October), so now is the time to savor them. Though the vast majority of figs are produced here in
These lovely tear-drop shaped fruit are singular in appearance and flavor. From their characteristic perfumed fragrance to their fragile skin that is often split from ripeness, revealing droplets of golden honeyed nectar, figs are a treat so luscious that time seems to slow while eating one. And fresh figs are not at all like dried figs. They are soft and creamy and fruity and tangy.
Inspired by a fig and anise bread from
Fresh Fig and Fennel Pizza
Print this recipe here.
1 pound pizza dough
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
2 tsp sugar
1 bulb of fennel, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
10-12 fresh
¼ tsp lemon zest
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary, plus a little more for garnish
Salt and crushed red pepper
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 500 if using a pizza stone or 425-450 if using a baking sheet.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper (if using a stone) or to a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with 1 tsp olive oil.
Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced shallots and sugar; stir occasionally, until the shallots begin to caramelize, about 5-6 minutes. Add the sliced fennel and continue cooking over medium-low heat until fully caramelized, another 5-6 minutes. Add sliced figs cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Add lemon zest, cinnamon, rosemary, salt, and pepper; gently blend and remove from heat.
Place half of the blue cheese on the dough. Arrange the fig and fennel mixture on top. Top with remaining ½ blue cheese.
For a pizza stone, bake at 500 degree for about 10 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust is brown and the cheese is melted.
For a baking sheet, bake at 450 for about 25 minutes, or until both the top and bottom of the crust is brown and the cheese is melted.
**Note: The walnuts have a tendency to become overly toasted when put on the pizza too early, so I usually add them when there is 2-3 minutes cooking time remaining.
Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with more fresh rosemary if desired and serve immediately.

A friend of mine asked me to look into the Tilly family of Rabun County, Georgia a few weeks ago. While doing so, I ran across the last will and testament of Lazarus Tilly, which was written November 30, 1839 and proven in court during the March Term, 1841, in Rabun County.1 In his will, Lazarus named his wife, Sarah, and children Alfred Tilly, Elizabeth Millender, Polly Calwell, Margaret Owens, Lewis Tilly, John Tilly, and Nancy Holcombe.
In and of itself the will does not seem strange, but further research into contemporary court records illuminates an oddity: two of the named children were deceased at the time Lazarus wrote his will.
Nancy Tilly married Joshua Holcomb on July 9, 1823 in Rabun Co., GA.2 In March 1830, "Lazrus Tilley" was appointed guardian of "John T. Halcom", aged about eighteen months.3 After Lazarus' death, Joshua was granted custody of both John and his brother, Thomas J. Holcomb.4 John, at least, appears to have lived with the Tillys from 1830 until about 1842. In the meantime, Joshua had remarried to Malinda Gooch, and had several children.5 By examining the birth dates of the children and the likely marriage date of Joshua and Malinda, it is possible to estimate the date of Nancy's death as having occurred about 1827 or 1828.6
John McClure and Disa Tilly were granted letters of administration on July 7, 1834 for Lewis Tilly who died intestate.7 Thus far, the only Lewis Tilly known to have been in Rabun County from about 1820 to 1840 is this Lewis Tilly. Given that Lewis was born between 1790 and 1794, he is most likely the Lewis Tilly named as a child in Lazarus Tilly's will.8
Why then did Lazarus in 1839 name two deceased children in his will rather than naming their heirs, as was more common? The reason may never be known, but this curiosity does reinforce the need for caution when searching for the whereabouts of the remaining children.
1. Wills, Inventories and Appraisements 1838 – 1859: 88-89; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia.
2. Marriage 1820 – 50 Rabun County: 4; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia. This book has been digitized and can be found online through Georgia Virtual Vault.
3. Minutes, 1826 – 1839, Rabun County: 22; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia.
4. Wills, Inventories and Appraisements 1838 – 1859: 90, 133, 137; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia.
5. Information on the further children of Joshua Holcomb is courtesy of Sandy Reid.
6. Barring a divorce or desertion, for which no evidence has been found to date.
7. Minutes, 1826 – 1839, Rabun County: 90; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia.
8. The probable years of Lewis Tilly's birth were found by comparing his age on the 1820 US Census, Haywood Co., NC (Lewes Tilley household, page 222, line 35) and the 1830 US Census, Rabun Co., GA (Lewis Tilly household, page 223, line 3). The connecting evidence that the men named in these two census records are indeed the same person is an 1829 deed found in Deed Book A, Macon Co., NC, in which Lewis Tilly "of Rabun Co., GA" sold land he "purchased [in] Oct. 1820 at [the] land sale in Waynesville". (Source for deed information taken from page 23, Records of Old Macon County, N.C. 1829 – 1850 by Barbara Sears McRae, copyright 1991. Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, MD.)

They had first appeared in print in another context: Tragödien nebst einem lyrischen Intermezzo of 1823. The verse tragedies of the title were William Ratcliff and Almansor; these were placed on either side of seemingly autobiographical poems which traced the progress of an unhappy love affair. These highly personalized fragments (there are only three poems in the cycle in which there is no direct reference to the poet's feelings) thus formed an 'Intermezzo' between two historical dramas. The title Lyrisches Intermezzo was retained even when the poems no longer fulfilled this function. The first poem ('Im wunderschönen Monat Mai') was added to the original sequence, almost certainly as late as 1827, for the publication of the Buch der Lieder.
Clara Wieck, and the struggle to win her hand in marriage, was Schumann's inspiration in composing Dichterliebe. But endless paper and ink have been expended on the study of the feminine inspiration behind Heine's lyrics. The great literary scholars of the late nineteenth century came to the conclusion that the Buch der Lieder was inspired by the poet's love for not one, but two, of his cousins—daughters of his detested rich uncle Salomon: Amalie Heine (known as 'Molly') and Therese. There are bits and pieces of evidence supporting this conjecture (Heine's love for Molly was real enough, but probably not long-lasting) but there are no documents which come anywhere near to explaining all the references and contradictions in the scenario of the Lyrisches Intermezzo outlined below. In his late memoirs the poet tells the story of his youthful love for redheaded Josefa, born into a family of executioners. Was this a redheaded herring on Heine's part, or truthful? Like so much else about the earlier life of this enigmatic man, we shall never know.
The temptation to explain poems by connecting them directly to the poet's relationship with women is something derived from Goethe scholarship where such matches are possible in many instances. This led scholars to assume that Heine's poetry also arose from personal experience, but for the last fifty years this assumption has been discredited. Must we assume that the 'I' of the narrator's voice is also the 'I' of the poet? In this case apparently not. Although there was a side to Heine himself which fostered the connection between his poetry and his life, at other times he debunked such theses. William Rose's study of 1962 demonstrates that Heine could not possibly have written this poetry at the same time as he was allegedly enamoured with his cousins. The poet's amorous adventures were more frequent (as were Schumann's) than we shall ever know. Both men paid the price with venereal disease. To this extent there was a poisoning of the well of love; in Heine's case there was also an ongoing difficulty in terms of his relationships with women until he found satisfaction of sorts in a marriage with a French woman who shared neither his intellect nor his interests. (The parallel with Goethe's marriage is obvious.) Even if the poet constructed these lyrics from real memories, dreams and so on, it seems likely that the original female cast of characters was a large one, and it is this array which was probably reduced to the archetype of the faithless woman in the Buch der Lieder. Thus, although the earlier scholars ask us to believe in one, at the most two, beloveds (Amalie and Therese), Heine's words and moods vary enough to suggest a broad range of emotional confrontations over a number of years. And this is apart from the distinct possibility that much of this work is derived from the poet's fantasy and imagination.
Schumann could not have known these theories about Heine's cousins. But his composer's instincts would have told him that he had to reduce and focus the many and various impressions of the Lyrisches Intermezzo to make the listener believe in a Dichterliebe where the poet—his admired Heinrich Heine—could play the part of a hero, dignified even in grief. As the figure of the beloved appears in, and is met with, so many different moods in the poems, it would be best to keep her in the background, an elusive and mysterious figure in the poet's memory.

A recent search for an obituary led to the discovery of an entire issue of The Clayton Tribune (Clayton, Rabun Co., GA) devoted to a pressing problem: the loss of the hot lunch program in local schools. The issue included several articles written by the editors and local concerned citizens of note, as well as letters sent in to the Tribune from parents, students, and other community members. The published letters ranged from one or two sentences to several paragraphs; some appeared to be excerpts of longer letters, including the following:
It provides many necessary food elements which the children would not otherwise get. The Free Lunch Project is a great help to many children who cannot afford to pay. –Mrs. Hattie Teague1
Hattie was amongst many parents who were concerned about malnutrition and the availability of hot lunches for their children during the coldest parts of winter.

- How do I load the application onto my device?
Once you have downloaded the installation zip file from Handango, follow these steps:
- Extract the appropriate application files for your BlackBerry to a folder on your
computer. The files are named according to BlackBerry device models (e.g., 71xx).
You should save 2 files (one .alx and one .cod) to your computer.

** NOTE: If you have a 72xx or 77xx BlackBerry device, use the 75xx files for installation on your handset.
- My local station / camera keeps dropping / disappearing. Why?
Station: If your favorite station occasionally drops from WeatherBug or even the list of available stations, it could be that the station you've chosen is a "near real-time" or "nearly live" station. Near real-time or nearly live stations are operated by the National Weather Service and are often found at airports. We bring you these NWS stations in order to maximize the number of stations where you can access weather data.
Real-time stations transmit weather data constantly while near real-time only report periodically. All exclusive WeatherBug stations are real-time. If you are accessing a near real-time site, it will not appear on your station list when it is offline and WeatherBug will default to the next closest station that is online.
With over 8,000 stations in our network, there may be some problems that either cause invalid weather data or no data at all at certain stations on any given day. We have an automated system that sends faxes and emails to our Points of Contact at stations that are down. Unfortunately, we don't always know immediately what the problem is and must wait to hear from our contact to be able to determine the problem and to offer assistance. Stations accessible through WeatherBug are owned and maintained by the school or business at that location. It is rare that a station goes down permanently. We will continue to try to get this station back online.
Camera: Like our network of tracking stations, we strive to keep our over 1,000 weather cameras operating all the time. However, we do experience trouble from time to time with the cameras and need to take them offline while we address the issue. When a camera is offline, you will see the next closest camera in the Live Cameras section of the application. To download the WeatherBug desktop application, visit www.weatherbug.com.
- How do I submit photos to WeatherBug from my phone?
You can submit photos by emailing them to email@example.com. Many camera phones allow photos to be sent directly from the phone. For the best chance for your photo to be approved by our staff, be sure it shows the great weather and scenery that we have across the United States and include your name along with the location the photo was taken. Please allow up to 72 hours to see approved photos on the WeatherBug application.
Users can also view and submit photos directly through the WeatherBug desktop application. To download, visit www.weatherbug.com.
- I have submitted a photo to WeatherBug. How can I view it?
Approved photos can be viewed in the Your Photos section of the WeatherBug desktop application by selecting the Camera Phone photo album. If the photo is judged to be one of best submitted photos, it will be also be displayed in the "Hall of Fame 2005" album. You can view this photo album in the Community Photos section of WeatherBug on your Smartphone.
For the best chance of your photo being approved by our staff, be sure it shows the great weather and scenery found around the world, and include your name along with the location the photo was taken. Please allow up to 72 hours to see approved photos on the WeatherBug desktop application. To download the WeatherBug desktop application, visit www.weatherbug.com.
- I sometimes see an error message that says, "Unable to connect to WeatherBug servers." Why?
In order to download the latest weather data and images, your phone needs to connect to the Internet - either wirelessly or through your computer's connection when your phone is docked. This error message indicates that the phone is not able to connect with WeatherBug's servers to retrieve the data. If you see this error, try moving (if possible) to a location with a better Internet connection, or trying again when in a location with a stronger signal.
- I have a billing question. Whom do I contact?

Here's a clue: She now says that coloring is one of her favorite activities. She likes coloring on a white board. She likes coloring on her shoes. "But that makes mom mad," she says.
Julia was born with very big problems with her eyes. They didn't form as they should have before she was born. There are lots of reasons why someone might be blind or have poor eyesight. It could be a problem in the eye, which has lots of different parts. (That was Julia's trouble.) Or it could be a problem with the way the messages get from the eye to the brain, which tells you what you're seeing. Is it an apple or an alligator?
Her parents took her to see many doctors to learn what was wrong and to see what they could do to fix the problem. Her first surgery was when she was 10 days old. Other surgeries followed, but it was a long while before anything changed for Julia. She was a baby and then a toddler, growing up blind.
Because she couldn't see, it was taking longer for Julia to do the stuff most babies and toddlers do — like crawl around and learn to stand up. And her parents couldn't teach her in the same ways that other babies learn — like showing her a book and saying "book." Everything was harder for Julia.
At First, Nothing Helped
By the time she was 15 months old, her parents were worried and sad because surgeries, medicines, and treatments didn't seem to be fixing Julia's vision. The problem turned out to be her corneas. Your cornea is thin and clear. It covers the front of your eye and you need it to see because it focuses the light as it enters the eye.
What Julia needed were new corneas. One day, Julia's mom was on her computer reading about space travel. She turned to Julia's dad and said, "It is so dumb we can put a probe on Mars and they don't make an artificial cornea." Then she searched the Internet for "artificial corneas." Smart mom!
The search turned up the name of a doctor in Australia. Julia's parents contacted the doctor, who gave her more information about a kind of artificial cornea that was just starting to be used.
They learned they could go to a hospital in Maryland called Johns Hopkins, where Julia could have surgery to place artificial corneas in her eyes. She was only the 7th child in the world to have this transplant surgery. The surgery was a success, but it only gave her limited sight. Still, it was a huge improvement for Julia to be able to see the world around her, even if she couldn't see everything perfectly.
New Corneas = Happier Baby
Before the transplants, her parents worked for hours each day to get little Julia to roll over, sit up, and stand. She accomplished these important skills, but she didn't like it. Like many children who can't see well, Julia hated to be moved. Imagine if you couldn't see anything around you and suddenly someone picked you up and you could feel yourself moving. But after the surgery, life got so much better for Julia.
A few days after her transplant, 1-year-old Julia walked the length of the living room couch holding on. Her parents were amazed! With improved sight, Julia began to explore her world and got stronger.
She had a transplant in the other eye when she was almost 2. After that surgery, she began walking on her own without holding on to anyone or anything. Today, she loves to run and uses a cane to feel her way (check out her video). She also likes jumping on the trampoline and is a really good swimmer! "I do not think this would have been possible without her vision," her mom says.
Julia Takes Off!
Her body seemed to come alive after getting better vision, and so did her mind. Before the surgeries, she could only say about 20 words. Even with speech therapy twice a week, she did not improve much. But after the first surgery, she could see well enough that she started reaching for objects — a normal thing that babies do but that she had never done before. She reached for a cup and her mother said, "Good girl, you got the cup!"
Julia's vocabulary kept getting better and by age 3, she knew lots and lots of words. Recently she won an award at school for reading more than 400 books. You might wonder how someone who can't see well reads books. Julia can read very large type on a page but if she only read that way, it would be slow and a little boring. To read more quickly, Julia reads books in Braille. Braille books are written in a kind of code. Bumps on the page mean letters and words.
It took Julia a while to learn what all the bumps mean, but now she's good at it and likes to read this way. "I like Braille because I can read in the dark and I can read faster than the kids in my class. I got two trophies for my reading," Julia says.
Julia is not just a reader. She's a writer. She and her mom wrote a book about what it's like to have trouble with seeing. Seymour is a snake whose vision is so blurry that he tries to make friends with a garden hose — oops! But by the end, he finds a solution to his poor vision. And he finds a new friend in a white mouse, who asks him, "Are you a vegetarian snake?"
Sharing the "Seymour the Snake" book is one way for Julia to talk about being blind.
"I have lots of friends in my class and they know all about my corneas. I told them about my surgeries so they would not be scared if they had a surgery," Julia says. "I used to hate talking about my eyes, but now I am brave."
