The aromatic properties of natural essential oils are a catalyst for change in the human mind and body.
Essential oil aromas stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotion. The shape of an essential oil molecule is like a key that opens lock-like structure in the olfactory nerve receptors in our nostrils. The impression of the aroma is sent directly and immediately to the limbic system where memories are stored and pleasure and emotions are perceived. When stimulated, the limbic system releases chemicals that affect the central nervous system. Serotonin counteracts anxiety; endorphins reduce pain and affect sexual response.
Inhaling essential oils can help us attain a pleasurable emotional balance. A balanced emotional state in turn can have a therapeutic effect on physical problems.
Enhance your mental and physical well-being with essential oils using direct inhalation or diffusion. Direct inhalation is great when immediate relief is needed. For instance, to relax, drip 2-5 drops of chamomile onto a handkerchief, hold it under your nose and breathe deeply. Because of their volatile nature, essential oils will readily diffuse into the air. An aromatherapy lamp a ceramic vessel equipped with a small basin to hold a mixture of water and essential oil is a good way to diffuse scent. The basin is warmed from underneath by a candle or light bulb. Diffusing relaxing oils like chamomile, rose or sandalwood can help patients feel more at ease in a doctor's waiting room. Or, to counteract after-lunch sleepiness diffuse energizing uplifting oils like peppermint, lemon or basil in the office.
Essential oils are quickly absorbed through the skin, traveling around individual cells and into hair follicles, where the oils enter the sebaceous glands and mingle with the skin's natural emollients. The chemical properties of the oils can be cleansing, deodorizing, toning, or balancing.
Essential oils add an aesthetic dimension to the healing effects of massage therapy, compresses, facial steams and body and foot baths. Because they're so concentrated, essential oils must be diluted so they compose 2%-3% of the blend either in a carrier vegetable oil, such as sweet almond and jojoba, bath water or body care product. Add a few drops of grapefruit to a warm bath and agitate the water, then soak away a stressful day. Certain oils are especially suited to benefit the skin. The largest organ of the body, the skin, reflects our inner state of well being while protecting us from a daily barrage of pollutants. Lavender oil, the supreme skin oil, is cleansing, deodorizing, toning and balancing. It is also relatively safe in higher dilutions up to 20%. It combats oily skin while soothing and replenishing dry skin.
A diffused aroma creates a mysterious presence in a room, then wafts away like a wish or prayer. The essential oils can be thought of as the quintessential spirit of plants, captured in a jar. Frankincense oil has been used as an adjunct to meditation and prayer for centuries. Its rich, balsamic aroma penetrates deeply into the lungs, inspiring slow, regular breathing. Try diffusing frankincense to help carry you along on your next spiritual journey.
Essential oils have positive effects on every level of being. Their unique properties enhance the mind, body and spirit. Aromatherapy is the creative and scientific application of essential oils to create beneficial changes in our lives on aesthetic, therapeutic and mystical levels.

Why Am I A Gamer?
I am regularly surprised by how often I am asked this question in one form or another. Occasionally it comes from my fellow gamers, those who are just curious about what led me into this particular hobby. More often, it comes from people who just cannot seem to grasp what a bunch of grown men and women see in sitting around a table, telling odd stories about wizards, warriors, demons, and dragons while rolling a bunch of strange looking dice all over the place — as it is rarely just on a table. I have gotten this question from co-workers, friends, family, local religious leaders, girlfriends, the list goes on. For the longest time, I tried explaining what it was like to play games like Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowrun, Anima: Beyond Fantasy, etc., but often this led nowhere. Eventually, I simplified the answer down to "because its fun," but that doesn't really do my hobby its proper justice. So, why do I game? Why am I a gamer? Here is why.
I am a gamer because I love storytelling. Through the medium of a role-playing game, I am able to give life to characters that, before, existed only in my mind. Through the setting, the rules of the game, and even my fellow gamers, I am able to see and experience a world, any world, through eyes not my own. I get to be my character, albeit only for a little while. During that time, though, I can be anything. I can be a cunning wizard who wields powers beyond imagining, working to save the world and those he holds dear from an ancient and terrible evil. I can be a renegade gunslinger, able to shoot down a dozen men in the blink of an eye. I can be a sly bard, able to turn the tide of battle with nothing more than a song. I can, literally, be anything I can possibly imagine, and there is something amazing in that.
Something just as amazing is watching my fellow gamers also become someone else, someone altogether different than who they are, and then to experience these other worlds with them. More than that, it lets me see not only who my friends are, but who they might like to be. It shows me what they idolize, what they fear. It lets me see them in a whole new way, just as I am letting them see me. Maybe they wish they could be smarter, stronger, more attractive, or more assertive. Maybe they would just like to see the world through different eyes. How different is it to be an elf, a troll, a clone, or maybe even just the opposite gender? Gaming can give you a glimpse into that world. Is that glimpse always accurate? No, not always. Can it make you think? Certainly. Does that sound like powerful stuff? It is. Believe me, it is.
So, why am I a gamer? That's why.
Oh yeah, and because its fun.

All working mothers need a wife -- even the New York Times says so. In her article "What a Working Woman Needs: A Wife [1]," writer Lisa Belkin defines wife as "the person who keeps the family functioning, who holds the mental lists of who needs new shoes and where the extra laundry detergent is stored, and the timing of the middle school dance . . . Wife means the person who raises the scaffolding and secures the ladder rungs, so that everyone in the family can climb."
Defined this way, wives play such a critical role in the smooth running of a household that a foundation in Germany is now granting the equivalent of $500 a month for working women to hire someone to help with these tasks. The idea is outsourcing – everything from laundry, house cleaning and bill paying to meal planning, errand-running and dog walking. That leaves the real wife – also known as the mom – better able to focus on more important stuff like reading stories, playing chase at the park, maybe reading the newspaper once in a blue moon and, oh yes, her career.
So consider hiring a personal assistant to schedule appointments, arrange home maintenance work, pick up dry cleaning, grocery shop, wrap birthday presents, make travel arrangements, sort mail, pack school lunches and do a little light cooking. Search Craig's List (www.craigslist.com [2]) for personal assistant and we bet you'll find a few potential matches right away. If that doesn't work, placement agencies can help you find personal assistants or you can put out feelers on your own.
It's great that the German foundation is granting a $500 "wife" stipend to working moms, but it won't cost you anywhere near that much. Even an hour or two a week will truly ease the burden on working moms and someone hired hourly shouldn't cost much more than a babysitter. And like babysitters, personal assistants are worth every penny.
Once you've experienced your own personal assistant, you'll wonder why you didn't propose to your "wife" sooner.

Click and Clack to Head Up GM Revival
Board appoints radio show hosts in surprise move
Story Highlights
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (CNN) -- In a surprise move, the GM Board of Directors has appointed two radio talk show hosts to head up the company's emergency restructuring. The new GM Product Czars are Tom and Ray Magliozzi, also known as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers," who host NPR's Car Talk radio show. Former GM fans from the 1950s and 1960s, they since went on to become harsh GM critics in recent decades.
"We know it's easy to criticize, so we think it's time we try walking a mile - back to a repair shop - in their shoes," says older brother, 72-year-old, Tom Magliozzi, with his trademark guffaw, as a General Motors PR executive cringes nearby.
The brothers acknowledge that the task of reinvigorating GM is a difficult one, but they also say they are uniquely qualified. "Having done our radio show every week for 23 years now," says Ray Magliozzi, 59, "we know what it's like to be selling something no one wants. We've done this before."
What may have convinced GM's Board of Directors to turn to the Magliozzi brothers is their bold plan for reviving the manufacturing giant. "Cuba," said Tom Magliozzi, his teeth clenched around a fat, smoldering Romeo y Julietta, while GM PR folks ponder whether to enforce the company-wide no-smoking policy.
"We've got an enormous number of GM cars we can't sell, right? And who needs an enormous number of GM cars? Cuba! Their GM cars are from, like, the 1950s!"
"In contrast, the cars we have sitting on dealership lots now are all 2007s, 2008s, and 2009s," adds Ray, "and they have all their original parts! The Cubans are gonna love these things."
"Plus, " says Tom, "they get 10% better mileage than those 1959 Bel Airs!"
The Magliozzi Brothers' plans are based on a Cuban population estimated at 11.5 million in 2008. After they negotiate the end to the US economic embargo (which they say they will handle personally), they figure that pent-up demand in Cuba will instantly translate into sales of more than half a million cars per year, of which the Magliozzi brothers anticipate GM will capture 95%. "That's not chopped liver," says Tom.
Asked how they can be so certain that GM will dominate the Cuban market in 2009, Ray explains, "These people have been cut off from the rest of the world for the last 60 years. They never heard of Ralph Nader, the Vega, the Aztek, the bean counters of the '80s, or the Cavalier. They've never even heard of Toyota! As far as they're concerned, GM still leads the world. We're gonna sell cars there like it was 1959!"
Part of the brothers' plan for GM also includes a concomitant increase in parts sales. "We're going to be supplying replacement parts for every one of those new Cuban cars. Right now, every Tom, Dick and Carlos is making his own parts in the basement, but you think he's going to make an electronic ignition module for an '08 Malibu out of a Coke can? I don't think so."
"Well, if he does, he's going to be our new supplier!" adds Tom, laughing.
In order for any of this to work, however, the Magliozzi brothers have to make good on their plan to break the longstanding US economic embargo of the Caribbean island nation. Trade is not currently permitted. "Not a problem," says Ray. "My brother is often mistaken for Fidel Castro. He's going to go and sit down with President Obama, introduce himself as Fidel, and work the whole thing out."
Tom interrupts, "Right. I'm just going to say, 'Listen, this whole communist thing... dumb idea. Sorry about that. How'd you guys like a nice Hyatt on the Malecon?'"
"And then Tom's going to go to Cuba," says Ray, "and show Fidel a brochure for an '09 Cadillac CTS. Dark Red. Premium Package. Air-Conditioned Seats. Trust me. We can make this work."
"We have a lot in common with Fidel," says Tom, "cigars... baseball..."
"...and they both like to store food in their beards," adds Ray.
"We may have to pull a few tail fins out of the design closet," says Tom, "but Cuba is going to lead GM back to the top."

Belle Isle is an island park in Detroit, Michigan. At just under 1,000 acres, it is the largest park in the country to cover a complete island, and this island is the third largest island in the Detroit River. The 2.42 square mile island is home to a number of recreational spots managed by the Detroit Recreation Department, including the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory and a small golf course.
Belle Isle was originally colonized by French settlers in the 1700s and was at one point a private estate. Once known as Hog Island, the island got its current name in 1845. In the 1880s, at the height of the movement to beautify urban landscapes with formally planned parks, Belle Isle was landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted, a well-known urban landscaper, was also the designer of Central Park and the Arnold Arboretum in Boston.
Between the time that the island was landscaped and the mid-1900s, a number of buildings and structures were added to the island. In 1887, architects John Donaldson and Henry Meier designed and built a Queen Anne style casino building on the west end of the island. When the casino was destroyed by fire, the city chose Albert Kahn to design its replacement. The Renaissance style brick and terra cotta building was built in 1908, and is still used for weddings and events today. Kahn also designed and built the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, the oldest public conservatory in the country.
For years, Belle Isle was home to a herd of fallow deer, a children's zoo and an aquarium, but the city closed the animal facilities due to budget problems. The island still offers many recreational opportunities.
Belle Isle is connected to the city of Detroit by the MacArthur Bridge. It is home to a number of leisure and entertainment amenities. They include the Detroit Botanical Gardens and the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, which houses one of the country's most extensive collections of orchids. In addition, it is home to the a yacht club, a boat club, a municipal golf course, a Coast Guard post, and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. There is a half-mile long swimming beach, and a Nature Center, as well as several miles of hiking trails, including wheelchair accessible hiking trails. Visitors to the island can also take advantage of picnic tables, a playground, baseball fields, basketball courts and tennis courts. Finally, the island is the site of a street race circuit that hosts races in the IndyCar Series and the ALMS.
The James Scott Fountain located on Belle Isle was designed by New York architect Cass Gilbert. The fountain was built in 1925 with a special bequest from infamous gambler, James Scott, who left $500,000 to the city with instructions to use the money to build a fountain on Belle Isle. There was only one condition - that a life-size statue of the donor be built beside the new fountain. The statue of James Scott sits in a chair facing beside the fountain, looking out toward the city. Belle Isle Park is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free.

WASHINGTON — Three weekend house fires in Prince George's County started the same way: burning candles left unattended.
No one was hurt in the separate fires, but the collective damage exceeds $170,000, and families have had to find a new place to stay for some time.
"All three of these fires could have been prevented," says Mark Brady, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Fire Department.
The fires broke out in Temple Hills, Laurel and Woodmore.
"The No. 1 thing we recommend with candles: if you must burn a candle, do not leave that candle," he says.
"If you leave the bedroom, if you leave the living room — wherever that candle might be burning — you need to blow it out."
A third of candle-ignited fires in Prince George's County start in bedrooms, according to the fire department. The threat is only heightened by the presence of combustibles such as bedding, clothing, carpet and drapes.
In the house fire in Woodmore, which caused more than $100,000 in damage, a working smoke alarm helped the family evacuate in time.

Quick note to say hi and introduce myself to the forum. Not sure why it took so long to find the site but it looks great!
Have been riding for a number of years, more for personal enjoyment, really fond of long distances. Long term goal is to ride across the US in the summer of 2007 - hope that works out.
Have ridden a number of bikes over the years but the garage currently holds a 2003 Merlin, Trek 7000 ATB, and a Cannondale r2000 tandem I just rebuilt. Also have a very nice Harley but the Merlin has seemed to garner to primary riding time this year.
Anyway, thanks for listening, looking forward to the forum.

I have rear lights, and I already have some reflective stuff, but I want a big reflector on my rack. I've decided on the flat oval generic automobile/trailer reflectors.
Does the known general warning of red overcome the increased brightness of the orange/amber? I've been playing with them and I just can't decide.
Possible orange pros in my case: brighter overall (by a large amount) and adds another color to the rear of my bike (have white, 2 shades of red and yellow as of now)
Possible red advantages: Harsher warning color, red things along and on the road are things you know you want to avoid and being known that it is likely the rear of something (not sure that this is any real advantage in this case). I don't have any large patches of red right now, just some tape wrapped around the seat stays and rear rack supports, bar ends and blinkie(s).
More worried that orange, while bright, will blend in with other more common orange reflectors on and along the road.
Not going to do both at the moment and not terribly worried about any legal aspects.

UDR 10 Sexiest men in Entertainment in 2010!
Everyone knows that in the entertainment industry worldwide, women need a bit more to glitz and glam themselves up. From hair extensions, makeup, lipstick, and more, it takes extra effort for a woman to become fabulous. However, when it comes to the beautiful men of Nigerian Entertainment, they are just born with it. From their obvious oozing appeals, to their sexy looks, these men don't need much to melt the hearts of their favorite fans.
With that being said, Underdarock has decided to turn the heat up as the year 2010 comes to an end, and give its readers our picks of Top 10 sexiest men in Entertainment for the year 2010.
"Joseph made his big break from being a co-host for MTN's Project fame west Africa and since he debuted, he has captured the ladies with his smooth, velvety voice and charming personality. Little wonder he was cast as leading man along side deliciously sexy, super star actress, Genevieve Nnaji.
I was with some female entertainment lovers and they all simultaneously agreed that the list would be empty without including a Banky W. No he doesnt have the albs to dazzle you with, nor does he go shirtless in those photoshoots, but he still succeeds in oozing sexiness in the most unusual way. What do you expect? The man has got a soothing voice, shapeless bank account and a charming smile, why would the ladies say no?
8. Naeto C
"A smitten female fan simply described Naeto C is "painfully sexy" simply because he is sexy without even trying. Ladies, if you're looking for raw hotness with few words, Naeto is your man. The only MC with a MSC has proven that he also has sex appeal to help sell his music to make Africa's top MC's list and he is also making the Top list of entertainment men, women are lusting after".
"In America and world wide, Usher Raymond is a sex god and a people pleaser. Back here in Nigeria, Dipp seems to pull off a similar effect. My friend Boma described him as "the mesmerizing eye-candy". And if you look closely you'd realize the subtle charm that makes the ladies go gaga.
"Not even getting married could distract his teeming female fan base. One of the basic requirements of becoming a movie star isnt just the ability to interpret roles but also having charisma and finesse. Not only does Mike possess these qualities, he also has the panache to wow the screen audience with. So its going to be a sin if he didnt make the cut.
Jim has had all the tags you can easily think of. From "nollywood bad boy" to "serial lover" etc, but the young actor turned musician has smiled to the banks courtesy of them. You may be wondering why do ladies love bad boys and i could serve you with a lengthy paradox of my opinion but that should be left for another day. Think P'ddidy and you would understand why Jim Iyke is such a big deal. The man recently announced the berth of his reality show "Jewel for Jim" that would search for the ultimate love of his life and the women have been going crazy with interest. Take it or leave it, Jim has an overdose of something that magnets the women, and that something is sexy.
For the lovers of albs, and six packs, Ikechukwu Onunaku is definitely the man to eye. I can still remember how Freda described him, she said and i quote "Ikechukwu looks mean, in a sexy way". I wondered if that could be a good thing and once i asked, the ladies were all purple with blush. Every woman wants a man who looks like those models on GQ covers, they want sexy, they want perfect body even if its just a fantasy. That explains why IK is our No 4 pick.
The incredible thing about this man is that he goes from way back. Listen to what Nonye said "Ramsey was sexy many years ago, from over 10 years and look at him today, he is still every inch sexy". Standing tall amidst the current influx of young sexy talented actors, this Nollywood star has held his own and proven to be a true star, stars never fade. Another classic example of men who age like fine wine (whether naturally or not, I'm not entirely sure). Sophisticated, sexy, with a voice that will melt you like silly putty, Ramsey Nouah is definitely scorching hot
"Kenneth Okolie", the girls chorused and breath a pleasant sigh. "Where has he been all our lives", Nonye asked. I agreed with them on every reason why he should be on the No 2 spot, infact Abigail felt he should be No 1. But seriously the young man is every inch a desirable and visually enchanting male specimen. If you doubt our judgment maybe you should wonder what the Mr World jury saw too to have made him the 3rd most desirable man in the world. Who says African men dont have world appeal? Collectively we summed Kenneth up in five words, masculine, quintessentially good looking, irresistible, dangerously sexy and alluring.
Peter is the "very noticeable" partner of the duo "Psquare". The young man is sexy and he knows it and flaunts it whenever he can. Nonye says "He is so sexy that it hurts". Boma agreed "It's hard not to love him, the guy is pleasing to the eyes and he makes good music too.I mean look at him! He's the kind of gorgeous that fairy tales are made of". Need i say more?

New Premixes Now Up! (and a $5 backer update)
Christine, Jefferson and I were back at the studio yesterday with Dave, working on some general levels and tones so we could have a good baseline for review and editing.
In a "Reservoir Dogs" moment, Jefferson is Mr. Magenta, Christine is Miss Brown, and I am Mr. Green!
I am very excited by what we heard, and so I'm sharing a sample set of these with you... While raw and not fully dialed in or edited, these are the takes we're keeping.They have some moments, we think.
The set takes you on a little Pray For Brain microjourney, from 1) hyperfunk Arabilly to a 2) soft guitar and bass improvised intro with Indian nuance, to 3) uptempo oud, 4) fretless Indo-rock intensity, 5) sufisurf and finally 6 ) closing with a gentle dialogue with oud.
Pray For Brain: CD premix preview
And that's less than half of what we have on tap...To help bring the rest of the music and the final, polished CD from us to you, pre-order your copy (and other merch) before Sept 13!
And if you do, please spread the word!
Also, see a big change to the $5 pledge category: Now for $5, you can choose a digital download of any one track from the CD! We'll have an online survey if the drive completes for you to choose your track.

Easy Method to Read Tea Leaves
By AGallagher
There are different ways to read tea leaves,
inside the cup or on the platter; symbology,
placement of leaves or stylized pictures with
meanings. This is a psychic art which is very
ancient and these are guidelines more than rules.
This is one of the more straightforward of the
lot and, makes reading leaves an enjoyable hazzle
free act. This psychic art is best done when
trying to look at where the fates will be taking
you in the future year. If you are doing this for
yourself do not perform this again until 13 moons
have passed, unless you have a specific question
to ask the tea leaves. If your question is not
specific the tea leaves may give you a confusing
Best done on a Waxing or Full Moon
What you will need:
1 cup water
1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea
1 teapot
1 teacup
1 tea saucer
matches or a lighter
1 purple candle 6" in length
Take your loose tea leaves and make your tea in
your pot with 1 cup hot water. Once it is done
pour the tea, leaves included into your teacup
Casting the Spell:
1. Cast your protective circle
2. Light the purple candle, saying:
"Spirit of fortune
Guide me and show
The line of my future
and all I must know"
3. Pour unstrained tea into the cup
4. Drink your tea until about a teaspoon of fluid
remains in the bottom of the teacup
5. Swirl the leaves around 13 times, in a
clockwise fashion, then turn the cup over onto
the saucer.
6. Read the leaves as follows, from these general
CUP= events coming soon
SIDE=events in the near future
THE CUP= in the long term
HORSESHOE= good fortune, travel, a
BALL= there will be ups and downs
CIRCLE= life has surprises in store
ARROW= news coming soon
DISKS= money coming in
BASKET OR BAG= a baby
if it is near the Handle= traps and deciet
ELSEWHERE= money is coming
ANIMALS= be on your guard
LINES = worries
SQUARES= security

On Monday, we went through the entire Indians roster and looked at all the built in pay raises that the club will be giving out for the 2010 season. After taking a considerable amount of money off the books—in the form of Kerry Wood, Jake Westbrook, Jhonny Peralta and a few others—and adding in the raises that are due Sizemore, Hafner, Choo, Carmona etc., we ended up with an opening day payroll just shy of $50 million if we don't add any pieces to mix. Last season's opening day payroll was between $60 and $65 million.
So if the Indians are comfortable with beginning the year at $60 million in a season that is not necessarily projected to be "contending", that would mean the Indians have about $10 million to spend this off-season.
The question is: should we buy any players? And if so, who and for how much? Let's look at our major areas of need.
Here are the holes, in descending order, that appear to me to be our biggest areas of need going into next season:
- 3B, Average Bat, Above Average Defense (50% of budget)
- Bullpen Arm, Veteran, 7th/8th Inning Guy (20% of budget)
- RH Bat, Corner OF or 1B (10% of budget)
- Role Players (20% of budget)
You'll notice there are some positions I'm leaving off. I didn't include a second baseman on that list. That's not because I believe in Jason Donald or Luis Valbuena or anyone else. But I do think Jason Kipnis could be a viable option later in the season, and either of those guys should be able to hold the fort until then. On top of that, adding a viable 3B moves Nix back into the second base/utility pile of players. So unless you are convinced Nix is going to solve all of his defensive woes at 3B in a few months of winter ball, I think the team might begin by putting its energy and budget into finding a stopgap to hold the hot corner for a year. That way Chisenhall, who hasn't played an inning above AA, will have some more time to develop.
I also didn't include a starting pitcher in the list. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, by my count, we have at least eight guys who could be available to start for us next season. In descending order, they are: Carmona, Masterson, Talbot, Carrasco, Gomez, Tomlin, Huff, and Laffey. All of those guys have started in the Majors, so that's not even including options like Alex White, Yohan Pino, Corey Kluber and others who might be on the way. Since it's unlikely that 2011 will be a contending year, I believe we need to separate the wheat from the chaff in that list, and adding another arm to the pile on a short-term deal doesn't make a lot of sense unless the goal is to flip him at the deadline for prospects. It would just muddy the waters.
Even further, adding starting pitching in the free agent market is a complicated issue for a team like the Indians. It's fairly clear we don't have the resources to compete for the big names, so we're stuck going through the scrap heap. Even guys like Pavano and Westbrook will likely command close to $10 million per season, which would eat up our entire budget. It's just not wise to invest that much of your payroll (1/6th) for a player who is questionable at best. Which leaves us looking at guys (as Paul Cousineau recently suggested) who are "third tier" starters with major injury and/or performance issues. If it costs $2 to $5 million for one of these arms, what would we really gain? There's the potential of upside, I suppose, but hanging your playoff hopes on the likes of a resurgent Chris Young or Jeremy Bonderman sounds dubious to me, and for that reason, I'm leaving them off our target list.
So let's get into the mix. Because I believe third base should be our biggest priority, we're going to concentrate our energy there.
If we have $5 million to spend on a third baseman for next season, who are we looking at? According to Cot's Baseball contracts, here's the list of third basemen who can become free agents this off-season (* indicates club option):
|Garrett Atkins FA
|Adrian Beltre BOS *
|Geoff Blum HOU
|Miguel Cairo CIN
|Jorge Cantu TEX
|Eric Chavez OAK *
|Pedro Feliz STL
|Bill Hall BOS *
|Brandon Inge DET
|Maicer Izturis LAA
|Melvin Mora COL
|Nick Punto MIN *
|Aramis Ramirez CHC *
|Miguel Tejada SD
|Chad Tracy FLA
|Omar Vizquel CWS
Let's cut some of these guys right away. Beltre is worth at least $10 million per year. He's out. Aramis Ramirez's option will likely be picked up, and if not, he's out of our price range too. I also think it's likely that Punto's option will be picked up. Brandon Inge signed an extension with the Tigers this morning. Bill Hall is a crummy 3B, and Eric Chavez's career is likely over.
Since we're highlighting defense, I'll include career UZR/150 at third base (positive numbers are good, negative bad) along with 2010 wOBA to get a feel for offense (.325 is league average):
2010 wOBA
|Garrett Atkins FA
|Geoff Blum HOU
|Miguel Cairo CIN
|Jorge Cantu TEX
|Pedro Feliz STL
|Maicer Izturis LAA
|Melvin Mora COL
|Miguel Tejada SD
|Chad Tracy FLA
|Omar Vizquel CWS
So let's throw a few more players off the list. Garret Atkins, Jorge Cantu, Miguel Tejada, and Chad Tracy all look to be no real improvement over Jayson Nix. That leaves us with Geoff Blum (reasonable defense, below average offense), Miguel Cairo (above average defense and offense), Pedro Feliz (good defense, awful offense), Maicer Izturis (average defense, below average offense), Melvin Mora (average defense, above average bat), and Omar (fan favorite).
Who on this list excites you? To me, the only ones I'd spend any money on are Cairo and maybe Mora. If we can get them for $3 to $5 million on a one-year deal, I'd take it. They're both over the hill, but might be able to improve the infield defense, which is definitely needed on a staff with so many groundball pitchers, while bringing some semblance of a bat to the plate. Not exciting options, but if I were Chris Antonetti, I'd be on the phone to these two.
But really, I'm not crazy about the options on the free agent market. There's the possibility that a few more guys could play into the mix as well. Juan Uribe (he of the walk-off sac fly!) is an option, though his defense is pretty questionable at both SS and 3B. Kevin Kouzmanoff, Edwin Encarnacion, and Jose Lopez are some of the bigger names who could be non-tendered this off-season, and each might be worth a look. But again, are these players really an upgrade over a cheap Jayson Nix? I'm not so sure.
The problem with the market then, is that there will certainly be some players happy to take our money, but it's unclear whether any of them can make the team appreciably better. Or as Billy Beane put it to Peter Gammons recently, "The way the system is right now, there really is no difference between a $75 million and $40 million payroll. I think a lot of small-market clubs […] ask, 'Why pay $75 million when $40 million will buy me as many wins?'"
It's a prudent question. Are there any 3B out there in the $3 to $5 million range who are significantly better than what we have? Guys who can add wins to the team? And if not, does it really make sense to go after anyone? Should the team spend an extra $10 million just to say that it did?
Or, do we do what I've always thought of as a losing strategy: bring back Omar to sell some tickets. I'll be honest: it might not be the worst option, considering the dearth of choices out there.

You might have noticed the 'Ask Sharon' box in the sidebar. That's my attempt to help writers with the real questions they have about getting paid to write. The first question I'm going to tackle is: "How do I write online and make money without it costing me money?" The questioner was anonymous, but I thought we could all benefit from this.
Writing online and making money is simple, though not easy. By that I mean that there are plenty of writing opportunities out there. There are also lots of people who take the time to weed out the dross so that you don't waste your time. It's no secret that I like the Writer's Bridge, but since that costs a fee, I won't include it here. Instead, I suggest that you focus on the opportunities available through Freelance Writing Gigs, the Problogger job board and others. See my post on freelance writing opportunities for ideas.
Although it can be difficult to win bids on freelance marketplaces such as Elance and Guru, you can sign up for these and others and take advantage of the free membership level. Since many clients post jobs on several boards, being selective will mean that you can bid for a large number of jobs without having to upgrade any of your accounts. Admittedly, this isn't my favorite way to get work, but it works for some people.
Finally, you can do what others have done successfully. Start by writing for free contributing guest posts to blogs that you like and you may be able to parlay this into a paid blogging job. It's yet another way to write online and get paid – without spending a dime! Good luck!
If you don't mind investing in your career, then consider these options:
- invest $30 in a year's subscription to Writer's Market – you will have your pick of writing markets that offer decent pay
- sign up for the Writer's Bridge daily job listing
- subscribe to the Freelance Switch job board

Nothing else grants you permission to COPY, USE OR MODIFY the Software or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept thESE AGREEMENT TERMS, UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE SIGNED AGREEMENT WITH QSS. DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE AND WILLING TO ENTER INTO AND COMPLY WITH THESE AGREEMENTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONTACT QSS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO COPY, INSTALL OR USE ANY PART OF THE SOFTWARE.
QNXÒ MomenticsÒ End User License Agreement
This QNX Momentics End User License Agreement (comprising Part A – Background, Part B – Standard Terms & Conditions, and Part C – Supplementary / Alternative Third Party Software Terms, collectively "this Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and QSS, and is made effective as of the date of your acceptance of this Agreement, as defined above. The parties agree as follows.
Part A - Background.
A1 QSS has developed and licenses a general purpose modular real-time operating system known as the QNX NeutrinoÒ RTOS ("Neutrino RTOS"). Its microkernel architecture provides an extensible operating system framework, which is based on the foundational components of the Core OS technology. Additional operating system services are implemented by plugging in modules from other elements of the Neutrino RTOS (e.g., Networking, File Systems, GUI, Web Client (browsers), etc.).
QSS also offers bundles of related software development tools (together with the relevant Neutrino RTOS components, collectively the "QNX Momentics Development Suites"), for developers to use to create Neutrino RTOS-based devices ("Target Systems", as further defined below). These development suites include a variety of development tools, including compilers, debuggers, libraries, headers, utilities, sample source code, etc. See the QNX Momentics Development Suite License Guide at http://licensing.qnx.com/published/eula/QDSLG1_04.html ("License Guide") for a description of what's included and how it's bundled. You can also contact QSS for a hardcopy.
Embedded system developers typically build Target Systems using the QNX Momentics development suits by:
(a) developing the requisite code to make the Neutrino RTOS operational on their target hardware (i.e., a board support package comprising IPL, start-up and drivers – various parts of which may be available from QSS in binary form for supported processors and peripherals or, alternatively, which may be developed from scratch or derived from QSS-supplied sample source code); and
(b) integrating Neutrino RTOS object code programs, libraries and utilities with files they generate using QNX Momentics Development Suite tools in order to define the operating system's operational constraints, to tailor its functionality and, if equipped with a GUI, to tailor its appearance, in order to satisfy the requirements of the intended device.
Over the course of a Target System's life cycle, developers typically change hardware platforms (requiring a repetition of step (a) above) and/or upgrade software stacks (e.g., to adopt new versions of the Neutrino RTOS, or of third party software and/or custom components) in order to enhance the device's performance and functionality, or to reduce its cost.
A2 This Agreement is intended to provide you with license rights to a copy of a QNX Momentics Development Suite in order to support your Target System development, testing, support, maintenance and enhancement efforts. These products are generally licensed on a "Licensed Seat" basis (see below), except for certain source code packages that are licensed on a "Project" basis (also explained below). Subscription licenses and "Floating Licensed Seats" (see below) may also be available (some restrictions may apply). Some features and/or components are only available in certain products or in optional packages. See the License Guide or contact your authorized QSS sales representative for more details.
Please note that this Agreement does not offer any support or custom engineering services (see http://www.qnx.com/support/index.html for an explanation of QSS's Standard and Priority Support Plan offerings), nor does it authorize any Software distribution. Contact your authorized QNX sales representative for more information about QSS support plans, or to inquire about your custom engineering service and runtime distribution license options.

All Software is licensed on a Licensed Seat or Floating Licensed Seat basis unless otherwise expressly provided by QSS in writing (e.g., see subsection (b) below). Any use of Software pursuant to a Floating Licensed Seat is restricted to use at an individual Site (including remote use by developers who are normally based at such Site), where "Site" means a building (or a campus comprised of buildings that exists within the same postal or zip code) where the development is performed.
(b) Project Software. For each Project license purchased, Project Software may be shared amongst any Licensed Seats/Floating Licensed Seats in a single Project (for each Project license purchased), but only to the extent and for so long the Licensed Seat/Floating Licensed Seat is assigned to that Project. Accordingly, the license in subsection (a) above (Grant of Software License) shall extend to any Project Software for which the associated Project license fees have been paid to QSS, and you shall have a limited license to internally distribute Project Software to other developers for use with Licensed Seats/Floating Licensed Seats within the Project.
(c) Deployment of Your Licensed Seats / Floating Licensed Seats. Except in the case of Project Software, your Software license is not project-specific and, subject to Section B8 (Term & Termination), the term of this Agreement is perpetual. You may re-assign any Licensed Seat or Floating Licensed Seat from time to time from one developer to another (including to a developer employed by your Contractor) when a licensed developer is indefinitely re-assigned to other duties or is otherwise re-deployed (e.g., when their project ends), provided that you always remain responsible to QSS for the full performance of any obligations, and compliance with any restrictions, required by this Agreement. Alternatively, you may assign this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section B9(b) (Assignment). You may not share Licensed Seats, or extend the sharing of Floating Licensed Seats beyond the permitted ratio, by passing or notionally re-assigning Software licenses back and forth amongst a group of developers. Project Software licenses are Project-specific and may not be transferred or re-assigned in any manner to new Projects. QSS may require that you provide within thirty (30) days of notice a written report indicating the office location where your Licensed Seat(s) have initially been deployed, and/or where Floating Licensed Seats are currently being used and the names of the developers using them. The report will be signed by you (or an authorized officer if you are a legal entity) confirming the accuracy of the report. QSS reserves the right to audit from time to time, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice, your compliance with the Licensed Seat and/or Floating Licensed Seat restrictions of this Agreement.
(d) License for Software Source Code. Certain Software Source Code may contain license headers that refer to the QNX Open Community License ("OCL"), QNX Community License ("QCL"), and/ or QNX Confidential Source License ("CSL", collectively the "QNX Source Code Licenses"). Notwithstanding reference to the QNX Source Code Licenses, the Software Source Code is licensed to you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Third Party Software. Parts of the Software may contain third party code. Type I Software is licensed (or sublicensed) to you under the standard terms of this Agreement and may include additional license terms. Type II Software and Type III Software may be licensed to you under amended or alternative terms. Those terms, and any Software authorship attribution and like notices that QSS is obliged to provide to you, are referenced in Part C or the License Guide and are published in the corresponding Third Party Open Source License Terms Guide at http://licensing.qnx.com/published/eula/index.html. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all third party code is provided to you solely for use in association with the Neutrino RTOS and, in the case of hardware-specific components, only for use in association with hardware from that manufacturer (e.g., any third party code in Epson printer drivers is restricted to use in association with Epson printers only).
(f) Use Restrictions. Unless expressly permitted by this Agreement, by applicable law, or by QSS in writing, you agree not to:
(i) alter, remove, or cover any trademark, logo, proprietary or licensing notices, labels or marks in or on any part of the Software, including in any "about" box, "flash" / "splash" screen or documentation. You agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that all copies of the Software bear any notices, labels or marks contained in or on the original;
(ii) use unauthorised License Keys;
(iii) decompile, disassemble, decrypt, extract, unbundle, translate or otherwise attempt or assist others to reverse engineer any part of the Software, including circumventing any License Key activation or evaluation period expiry mechanisms, except as necessary, when permitted by an applicable law, to correct defects or achieve inter-operability with complementary programs, for your purposes only, but only if QSS has refused to provide the necessary information or assistance; or
(iv) directly or indirectly, export, import or transmit the Software to any country in contravention of the laws of that country or the laws of Canada or the United States. Without restricting the foregoing, the Software contains encryption capabilities and certain governments may regulate the export or import of the Software.
Unless QSS has provided you with express written consent, the Software may not be used in any application in which death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage is a foreseeable consequence of a Software failure (collectively, "High-Risk Applications"), including but not limited to the operation of nuclear facilities, mass transit systems, aircraft navigation or aircraft communication systems, air traffic control, weapon systems, and direct life support machines. QSS expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty or condition of fitness for High-Risk Applications.
(g) Restricted Rights. If you are a U.S. government or quasi-government entity, then you should be aware that the Software is a "commercial item", as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation", as such terms are used in 48 CFR 12.1212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.1212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all such customers acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. government is subject to restrictions as provided in DFARS 227.7202-1(a) and 227.7202-3(a) (1995), DFARS 252.227-7013 (c)(1)(ii) (OCT 1988), FAR 12.212(a)(1995), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14 (ALT III), as applicable.

"Confidential Information" means any information disclosed by one party ("Discloser") to another party ("Recipient") for the purpose of performing or exercising rights under this Agreement ("Purpose"): (i) in source code, (ii) in a document clearly marked "Confidential" (or equivalent), or (c) otherwise in any manner or form, provided it is clearly identified at disclosure as confidential and, within thirty (30) days of disclosure, is summarized and delivered to Recipient in a document marked "Confidential" (or equivalent). Confidential Information does not include any information which is:
(i) available to the public other than by reason of Recipient's breach of this Agreement;
(ii) rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without disclosure or use restrictions;
(iii) independently developed by or on behalf of Recipient;
(iv) previously known to Recipient other than by reason of a prior confidential disclosure from or on behalf of Discloser;
(v) hereinafter disclosed by Discloser to a third party without disclosure restrictions; or
(vi) compelled to be disclosed in a public manner pursuant to legal, judicial or administrative proceedings or otherwise as required by law, subject to Recipient giving all reasonable prior notice to Discloser to allow it to seek protective or other court orders.
(b) Use and Disclosure Restrictions. Recipient shall only:
(i) use Discloser's Confidential Information as necessary to achieve the Purpose for which it was disclosed, and
(ii) disclose Discloser's Confidential Information to persons who have a need to know to achieve the Purpose for which it was disclosed, and who are employees of Recipient, or of Recipient's affiliates, or of Recipient's and Recipient's affiliates' Consultants or professional advisors, provided that all recipients within such classes are bound by law or are subject to agreements that provide obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the provisions of this Section B4.
Recipient shall protect the Confidential Information of Discloser by using the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized dissemination or publication and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of like nature. Recipient shall only make copies of the Confidential Information as necessary to achieve the Purpose for which it was disclosed. Recipient shall reproduce Discloser's proprietary rights notices on all copies in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original. The mingling of Confidential Information with information that falls within one or more of the exceptions in this Section B4 shall not impair the status of, or the obligations of confidence and non-use respecting, the confidential parts.
(c) Duration of Obligations. The provisions of this Section B4 shall only apply to Confidential Information first disclosed on or after the date of this Agreement. Each Recipient's duty to protect Confidential Information disclosed to it will survive termination of this Agreement indefinitely in respect of source code, but will end on the third anniversary of the date of termination of this Agreement in respect of all other Confidential Information. All Confidential Information furnished by Discloser to Recipient, and all copies thereof, which are in the possession or control of Recipient or its disclosees shall be and remain the property of Discloser and shall be promptly returned to Discloser or destroyed on termination of this Agreement. Recipient may retain one copy of Discloser's Confidential Information in the confidential, restricted access files of its legal department for use only to prove compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Tasting Notes
Eye - Medium to deep purple colour with a hint of brick red at the rim. Nose - Really ripe on the nose with classic Sangiovese aromas of black cherry stone, blackberry, pepper, leather and above all a herbal, oregano edge. Also some new oak from the aging. Fine yet complex. Palate - The palate is supple and smooth on the attack, velvety and fruity with redcurrant jam and strawberry. It then fills out in the mid-palate and finishes with all the herbal elegance of top Sangiovese overlain with a touch of new oak. Creamy and long
