Two men were arrested after a deputy found two fake credit cards and fake drivers licenses during a traffic stop on Wednesday. A Pinal County Sheriff's deputy pulled a Jeep over on I-10, near Picacho, after he saw the driver commit a traffic violation. Deputies say the driver, 23-year-old Hector Sandoval, and his passenger, 27-year-old Ruben Bustamante, were extremely nervous when stopped. The men allegedly provided conflicting stories about where they were coming from, where they were going and whose vehicle they were driving in. Both men told the deputy he could look inside the vehicle. PCSO says the deputy found 12 Home Depot gift cards worth $250 each inside the dashboard and fake Pennsylvania driver licenses and two fake credit cards were hidden inside the passenger side door panel. The fake IDs had pictures of the men with different names on them. Deputies are continuing to investigate.

Title: PROSPECTING BREAKTHROUGH For Real Estate
Sub-Title: The 3 Reasons Why Your Prospecting Isn't Working & 7 Hot Tips To Fix It
Author: Peter Hutton
What it is about: 'Prospecting Breakthrough' shows real estate agents why they're prospecting isn't working and how to fix it.
The premise of the book is: 95% of agents are being ignored by prospective home sellers wanting to sell because their prospecting is based on the old traditional method of 'interruption marketing', e.g. cold calling and door knocking. The alternative to this is 'permission marketing' where by you build a relationship with your prospects before attempting to sell to them.
-- PROSPECTING BREAKTHROUGH must be bold and most prominent. However, the sub-headline must also be big enough to be easily readable.
-- also need a hi res version for printing
-- also need a photo realistic 3D cover design showing front and spine
-- a big part of this book shows agents that cold calling no longer works as well as it used to. In fact any form of 'interruption prospecting and marketing' generally drives prospects away. Agents using the traditional method to prospect are becoming increasingly frustrated by the poor results this method is creating. So I'm thinking an image maybe of someone who looks like a real estate agent on the phone and looking very frustrated. However, I'd love you to be creative. The bottom line is, we need to get across in the cover the pain and frustration real estate agents are experiencing due to their prospecting not working and breaking free of that.
Think of someone smashing through a wall, or climbing over a wall or someone breaking through something as an illustration. Also think in terms of a person making a phone call and looking frustrated.

After reading your reviews, I decided to keep the quantities of meat & vegetables but make changes. Cooked two strips of diced bacon and used 1tbs of the fat to skillet-brown 1/2 lb cubed pork. Baked that pork and 1/2 lb of fresh Polish sausage with the broth & herbs for an hour. Used same skillet to cook the veg and added all to the pork along with 3 cans of drained Great Northern beans & the reserved bacon. Baked again per recipe, stirring a couple times and adding more broth as needed. Ended up with a kinda quick cassoulet. Pretty good, but not what CL intended.

Something is not right here. I followed the directions to a "T." When I went to add the onion/carrot mixture, the whole thing looked dry. I added an extra 1/2 cup water and 1 cup broth. When it was done, there was no draining, no liquid at all. The pork is fantastically tender, but it looks nothing like the picture at all.

Made some modifications and put it in my crock pot. Brothy and very good. Made the modifications after reading reviews.I will make it again. Very filling.

I also had to add more liquid than the recipe called for. Ended up adding a total of 4 cups of chicken stock to the dish. The dish was dry after the 1st hour in the oven. Also needs more seasoning. it is a very hearty dish. good comfort food.
BrendaLRGale Posted: 02/15/11
I followed the recipe exactly, and I had the same problem with having to add more liquid. I ended up adding about 1 extra cup of broth, which made the dish rather salty for my taste and left little, if any, liquid from which to skim any fat. The basic taste was delicious, though! The recipe was at least 14 pts, so not sure how "light" I was cooking yesterday.

Today was one of those days when giving my time felt like the least I could do. It was the second time I've volunteered on Seth Godin's very cool Road Trip, and schlepping boxes, orienting other volunteers, collecting tickets, and setting up lunch never feels like anything close to work.
I give my time, energy, and art to Seth not because I'm expecting anything in return, but because he has already given me something – a gift – for which he expects no payment. His gift to me is that what he says and the thinking that he triggers in me have given me a way to walk through the world differently.
That difference may be just a slight change in my world view, but it is enough of a difference to dramatically change the trajectory of my life over time.

Clay saves the day
May 30 2006
No gold star for Lieber.
The Phillies starting rotation encountered yet another problem last night as Jon Lieber was unable to return to pitch the third inning after a suffering a groin strain at the end of the second. Clay Condrey played the hero, coming on to pitch four solid innings as the Phillies beat the Nationals 11-2. The Phillies rotation is starting to look like something Macgyver would have put together out of toothpicks and chicken wire circa 1988.
The Phillies put Lieber on the 15-day DL after the game and called up Brian Sanches from Triple-A. The Phillies were on a roll there with their moves for a couple of days -- since Friday that had made two that clearly help the team, activating Rowand and Lieberthal while sending Ruiz and Roberson back to Triple-A.
Sanches was with the Phillies in spring training, throwing 5 2/3 innings without allowing a run. He's been good at Triple-A so far this year, allowing just 12 hits in 21 2/3 innings while posting a 2.49 ERA. He's struck out 23 and recorded seven saves. Sanches is 27 and has no experience in the major leagues. He will pitch out of the pen, which may mean his time here may be brief as the Phillies will need to make a move to put someone who can start in Lieber's spot. Comments from the Phillies after last night's game seem to indicate that Condrey isn't a candidate to start. Cole Hamels is eligible to come off the DL on Saturday, June 3, which is the next day Lieber would be due to pitch. The Phillies have said, however, that he will start at Single-A Lakewood on Thursday, which means he won't be pitching on Saturday. It looks like it will have to be a callup from Triple-A, most likely Eude Brito, going on Saturday.
If that is how it plays out, if Hamels starts on Thursday at Single-A and not on Saturday for the Phillies, it will no doubt be a disappointment for Hamels, but I think it's the best way to go. Hopefully the Phillies will be extremely careful with Hamels, who has had some concerning quotes about his most recent trip to the DL. Here's one from Saturday from the Phillies web site: "It's unfortunate I had to go on the DL. I could pitch [Friday], [Saturday] and the next day. It never really hurt to begin with. It just felt different. The next morning when I woke up, I was like, 'Dang, if I wouldn't have said something, I could've pitched.'" Feeling different is bad. I'd wait till it feels the same before trying to pitch.
Last night the Phillies topped the Nationals 11-2. Jon Lieber got the start for the Phillies but went just two innings. He allowed two hits, including a solo home run to Ryan Zimmerman. Over his last three starts Lieber has allowed an alarming six home runs in 13 innings.
Lieber couldn't start the third and Condrey came in and pitched very well. Condrey is 30 and started six games for the Padres in 2003, with bad results. He pitched to a 8.47 ERA that year and did not appear in the majors again until April of this year. Last night he went four strong innings, allowing three hits and a walk and just one unearned run. The run came in the top of the fourth. With runners on first and third and two outs, Condrey caught Byrd off of first and Marlon took off for second. Howard's throw went wild into left field for his eighth error of the season. Eight is a ton of errors for a first baseman at this point in the year. Carlos Delgado, for example, is a bad defensive player and he's tied for second in the NL for first baseman with three errors. Among all players in the National League, Howard's eight errors ties him for eighth. A lot of those guys don't even play first base. The error tied the game at 2-2.
Condrey left for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the sixth. The Phillies got three runs in that inning, putting them up 5-2 and putting Condrey in line for a much-deserved win.
After Condrey left, the rest of the overworked bullpen did a nice job as well, keeping the Nationals off the board for the last three innings.
Cormier pitched a perfect seventh. Fultz allowed a walk in the eighth, but struck out two more batters. He's now struck out 34 in 29 2/3 innings for the season.
Ryan Franklin pitched the ninth and had an encouraging not-awful outing. He allowed a single but kept the Nats off the board to drop his ERA to 5.11 on the season.
The pen needs a rest in a big way. Over the last seven games, Phillies starters have thrown 35 1/3 innings and relievers 33 2/3. Hopefully it's coming tonight with Myers on the hill against a meek Nationals offense.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Mike O'Connor went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Abreu (4) Burrell (5) Howard (6) Rowand (7) Bell (8) Fasano. It seems to have settled there for the time being. Before the Rowand injury Manuel was moving Aaron around a ton against lefties, but that was before Howard started to homer every day so maybe the Phils will just go with this for a while.
O'Connor pitched pretty well against the Phillies. He held them to two runs through five innings, allowing just four hits and striking out five. He didn't walk a batter. Utley led off the sixth and smashed a line drive off his ankle. O'Connor looked like he might be okay to stay in the game, but one of his practice pitches sailed over catcher Schneider's head and Robinson took him out. Utley came around to score later in the sixth for the third run charged to O'Connor, but he was better than his line for the game.
Rollins led off in the first with a double, which the Phillies turned into a 1-0 lead with ground outs from Utley and Abreu.
The Nats tied the game at 1-1 on Zimmerman's homer in the second, but the Phillies got another run in the bottom of the inning with a two-out single from Bell and a double from Fasano.
Howard put the Phillies up 5-2 in the sixth with a three-run homer and the Phillies put the game out of reach with a five-run seventh, which featured four hits and two walks against the Nats pen. Abreu drove in Rollins with an RBI-double in the bottom of the eighth.
Ryan Howard is having an unbelievable month in which he's hit 13 home runs and driven in 35. The last game in which he did not have an RBI game on May 19 against Boston. He's slugging .740 for the month. Last night he was just 1-for-5 but had the biggest hit of the night, the three-run homer. He's struck out just once in his last 23 at-bats.
Jimmy Rollins looks like he's coming around. He was 2-for-4 with a walk last night and scored three runs. He's 7-for-his-last-14.
Utley was 2-for-4 with a walk. His OBP is at .401 after ending April at .330. It's been lost with what Howard has done, but his May has been tremendous: 364/456/589.
Abreu was 1-for-4 with a walk. Burrell 1-for-3 with a walk but just 2-for-his-last-11 with two singles, which is a little surprising since the Phillies have faced lefties in their last two. His numbers against lefties for the year are still silly: 327/470/788.
Rowand was 1-for-4 with a double. He's 2-for-11 since returning from the DL. Bell was 2-for-3 and has his average up to .270. Bell has also had a good May, 291/371/407, at least in terms of getting on-base, after a scary looking April in which he on-based .286.
Fasano was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. I would guess we'd see Lieberthal tonight for the first time in a long time.
Brett Myers and Tony Armas tonight.
Phillies may implement a gold star system for starters going more than five innings
May 29 2006
The Washington Nationals are in Philadelphia for the first of a three-game series starting tonight. The Phillies and Nats last faced off April 18-20 and Washington took two of three.
Washington is just 21-30 but has been playing well of late, going 7-3 in their last ten and winning each of their last three series. The Phillies, on the other hand, are floundering. After getting off to a 12-1 start to April they have gone 3-9 since and have lost each of their last four series.
The Phillies are curiously still just ninth in the National League in runs scored despite having four players, Howard, Burrell, Abreu and Utley in the top 20 in OPS. The Phillies offense is due for an explosion and I don't think it will be long now. When it comes the pitching won't have to be real good, but awful won't get it done and there's been a lot of awful in the recent stretch.
The pen needs a rest. In the most recent series against Milwaukee, the Phils had to call on their relievers to go at least four innings in every game.
A lot's gone on with the Nationals since the Phillies met them last just over a month ago. The biggest move is right fielder Jose Guillen heading to the DL with a hamstring problem, which means the Phillies are likely to see more Marlon Byrd and Darrell Ward in the series. The Nats have also called up 28-year old outfielder Mike Vento from Triple-A where he was hitting .345.
Wiki Gonzalez, Ryan Church and Billy Traber, who started a game against the Phillies last month, have all been sent down to the minors. Felix Rodriguez and Alex Escobar are both on the DL. Up are right-handed relievers Saul Rivera and Santiago Ramirez and starter Shawn Hill.
Nick Johnson (302/417/566) and Alfonso Soriano (301/354/607) are having big offensive years. Johnson comes in 8-for-his-last-11 and Soriano 8-for-his-last-17. Johnson has 12 home runs already, his career high is 15. Soriano has 18 home runs, second best in the NL behind Pujols.
Jose Guillen and Ryan Zimmerman should be the other big sticks, but Guillen is hitting just .212 and on the DL. Zimmerman has been better, posting a 272/335/461 line with eight home runs.
Jose Vidro has been tremendous, he's hitting .343 and on-basing .404.
Royce Clayton is at 248/303/348. The Phillies have only intentionally walked him once so far this year. Brian Scheider just came back from the DL on Friday, he's hitting .236 with four extra-base hits in 110 at-bats.
Closer Chad Cordero has allowed just 15 hits in 23 2/3 innings. Fellow righties Majewski and Rauch both have ERA's under three. There are two lefties in the pen, Stanton and Eischen, neither of which are real intimidating. Opponents are hitting .295 against Eischen but Stanton has been better, allowing 18 hits but 14 walks in 22 innings. The two new guys, Rivera and Ramirez, are both righties and both have pitched less than three innings so far.
Jon Lieber (3-5, 5.83) faces lefty Mike O'Connor (2-2, 2.65) in the first game of the series tonight. O'Connor made his major league debut on April 27 against the Cardinals and has had five starts since. He has yet to allow more than three runs in a start. He's allowed just 25 hits in 34 innings but walked 16. Opponents are hitting .197 against him. His most recent start came Wednesday against the Astros and he allowed just three hits and a walk in six innings. It would be fabulous if Jon Lieber could get the Phillies out to a 1-0 lead in the series, but he has been real bad real often this season. In his last start he went six innings against the Mets, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and four walks. In his last two starts he's given up five home runs and allowed nine earned runs in 11 innings.
Brett Myers (3-2, 2.86) faces righty Tony Armas (5-2, 3.44) tomorrow night. Armas beat the Phillies on April 18, allowing three earned runs in six innings. Pat Burrell hit a two-run homer off of him that game. Armas has allowed six earned runs over 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts. On Thursday he pitched against the Astros, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing four runs on nine hits and three walks. Opponents are hitting .256 against him, but he's allowed 22 walks in 55 innings for the season. Brett Myers is having a great year and has yet to allow more than three runs in a start. He pitched Thursday against the Mets, getting the win going seven innings and allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks. Apparently nobody has explained to him that a Phillies starter only goes five, if that.
Cory Lidle (4-4, 4.92) and righty Livan Hernandez (3-5, 5.35) go on Wednesday afternoon. Hernandez may be coming around after a slow start. Over his last three starts he's allowed just six earned runs in 21 innings. He last started on Friday against the Dodgers and got the win, going seven innings and allowing three runs on six hits without allowing a walk. Lidle pitched Friday against the Brewers, walking five and giving up seven hits and four earned runs in six innings. It was the game the Phillies scored two in the ninth to tie the game 5-5 and the Brewers hit back-to-back doubles off of Gordon in the tenth to go ahead 6-5. Lidle has allowed just seven home runs on the season, three of which have come in his last two starts.
Phillies brew up a big batch of I-can't-believe-that-just-happened against Milwaukee
May 28 2006
The Phillies brought out the big guns in the 13-day suck-a-thon and Festival of Horrid Pitching this weekend, dropping two of three to the Brewers in spectacular fashion. The Phils have lost nine of their last 12 and fallen to third place in the NL East. Their record stands at 25-24 and they are 1 1/2 games behind the Braves and five behind the division-leading Mets.
In each of the first two games the Phillies mounted a valiant comeback to tie the game only to lose a heartbreaker when the bullpen failed to hold the lead. Before winning today's game, the Phillies were 0-5 on the year against Milwaukee and the pen had taken the loss in each of the five games. The pen held together beautifully in today's win, but the Phils may still be in trouble with the Nationals coming in tomorrow. In the last two games of the series, neither starter went more than five innings and the pen was called on to throw a total of 8 2/3 innings after throwing four in the first game.
The series saw the triumphant return to the lineup of center fielder Aaron Rowand who made his presence known with several tremendous defensive plays.
This afternoon Ryan Madson pitched well enough and the Phillies managed to salvage a game, winning 6-2. Madson went five innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck out seven, his season high, which I think we should watch. In his six starts before being sent to the bullpen he struck out just 15 in 30 1/3 innings. In his last two outings, one seven innings of relief against the Mets on Tuesday and the other the start today, he's pitched much better and struck out 13 in 12 innings.
The Brewers jumped out 2-0 in the second on a leadoff double by Fielder and a two-run homer by Corey Koskie. But that was all Madson would give up. Ryan did get in trouble in the fifth, he allowed a leadoff double to the cursed Geoff Jenkins and got the next batter before hitting Fielder to make it first and second with one out. A wild pitch sent the runners to second and third but Madson got out of the inning via the strikeout, getting both Koskie and Moeller to go down swinging.
Geary replaced Madson in the sixth and kept the Brewers off the board. He has been very good of late, pitching to a 1.32 ERA in 13 2/3 May innings. His walk rate is at the lowest of his career after allowing just one so far this month.
Cormier followed Geary with a perfect inning.
Rhodes pitched the eighth and was able to work out of trouble. With two outs he allowed back-to-back singles before striking out Weeks to end the inning. Like Geary, he has had a much better May after a rough April.
Gordon pitched the ninth in a non-save situation and kept the Brewers off the board. He allowed a hit and struck out two.
The Phillies pen cruised today with only Rhodes getting into much trouble. Despite having to go four innings only one of them threw more than 15 pitches (Rhodes threw 22).
Against lefty Dana Eveland the Phillies lineup went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Abreu (4) Burrell (5) Howard (6) Rowand (7) Bell (8) Fasano for the second straight day. This is a little interesting, as yesterday they faced a righty and today a lefty. Before Rowand's injury there was a lot more fluctuation to the batting order against lefties.
Down 2-0 in the fourth the Phillies got a huge boost from Ryan Madson, who hit a two-out, two-run double to tie the game at 2-2. The Phillies made it 4-2 on a two-run homer in the fifth by Howard. In the sixth, Joe Winkelsas kept throwing ground ball after ground ball and the Brewers kept being terrible at defense. The inning featured bad plays by Koskie, Weeks and Fielder, only one of which was called an error, and the Phillies scored two runs on three hits and an error to make it 6-2.
Rollns had two more hits, he was 2-for-5 and 5-for-10 in the last two games of the series after taking back the leadoff spot.
Utley was 2-for-5 but just 3-for-14 in the series that featured two lefty starters for Milwaukee.
Abreu was 0-for-2 with a walk. 3-for-8 with five walks in the series.
Burrell was 0-for-4 and struck out twice, which was something of a surprise as I liked his chances against Eveland. For the series he was 4-for-12.
Howard was 2-for-3 with the homer and another walk. For the series he was 5-for-10 with two walks and two home runs. He drove in six runs.
Rowand was 1-for-7 in the two games since his return. He hit the ball better than that, however.
Bell seems like he's scuffling. He was 2-for-12 is just 2-for-his-last-17 as his average has dropped from .275 to .258.
Fasano was 1-for-3 on the day and 1-for-5 in the series.
Last night the Brewers won the middle game off the series, 9-6.
Gavin Floyd got the start on three days rest and was awful. He went 4 1/3 innings, giving up six earned runs on nine hits and two walks. In his last three starts Floyd has allowed 16 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings. His time in the rotation may be near the end. It's tough on the Phillies with Hamels on the DL. Franklin would be the obvious guy to replace him, but he's been really struggling lately as well. I'd be a little surprised if Floyd lost his spot after pitching on three days rest -- I would think he'd get at least one more chance before a move.
Floyd gave up a two-run homer to Lee in the first. The Brewers got three hits, including a two-run single from Bill Hall in the second to put them up 4-1. A walk, a double and a sac fly extended the lead to 5-2 in the fourth. In the fifth, Lee led off with a single and stole second, going to third on Fasano's throwing error. A Prince Fielder sac fly brought him in and Corey Koskie followed with a single. Geary replaced Floyd with one out and a runner on first and got out of the inning without further damage. The Phillies trailed 6-2.
The Phillies scored two in the bottom of the fifth to make the score 6-4. Geary returned and pitched a perfect sixth inning.
Fultz pitched a perfect seventh, striking out the side. In his last four appearances, Fultz has gone four innings, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out seven. For the year, he's striking out batters at a rate of 10.05 per nine innings, which would dwarf his career high. In 2001 for the Giants he struck out 8.49 per nine innings but has been around six per nine innings for most of his career. This year he's struck out 32 in 28 2/3 innings.
The Phillies tied the game at 6-6 in the ninth and Ryan Franklin came in to pitch. Franklin got the first two batters before allowing a single to Cirillo and back-to-back homers to Weeks and Hall to make it 9-6. The Phillies are going to need to solve the Floyd in the rotation problem soon. Franklin would seem like the first candidate, but two of his last three outings have been a disaster -- over 2 2/3 innings he's given up six earned runs on six hits including three home runs. After a solid April in which he posted a 3.95 ERA, he's posted a 7.20 ERA in 13 2/3 May innings.
Cormier pitched a perfect ninth inning for the Phils. Including his outing today, that's two straight good appearances for Cormier since the shot and not appearing in the sixteen inning game and then getting hit hard on Wednesday. Hopefully that means he's fine.
Against the righty Bush the Phillies lineup went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Abreu (4) Burrell (5) Howard (6) Rowand (7) Bell (8) Fasano. Big changes here are the return of Rollins to the leadoff spot and the triumphant return of Rowand to the lineup.
Rollins had a big day in his return to the leadoff spot. He doubled in the first inning and scored on an Abreu groundout to make the score 2-1. Down 4-1 in the third, Rollins again led off with a double and scored on another hit by Abreu, this time a double. Rollins added a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth to bring the Phillies within 6-4.
The Phillies completed their second straight dramatic comeback in the bottom of the seventh. Still down 6-4, Utley and Abreu walked to start the inning before Burrell grounded into a double-play. Things looked bleak but Howard picked up Burrell with a two-run homer that tied the game at 6-6. They lost shortly thereafter, but it was a nice moment.
Rollins was 3-for-5. Rowand 0-for-4 in his return, but hit the ball hard several times. Abreu and Howard were each 1-for-3 with two RBI.
Utley was 0-for-4 with a walk and struck out twice.
Chris Coste came on to catch for Fasano in the fifth. He's still looking for his first major league hit. He was 0-for-2 but got aboard by being hit by a pitch before Rollins homered.
On Friday, the Brewers
beat the Phillies 6-5 in ten innings.
Cory Lidle got the start and allowed seven hits and five walks in six innings. He was charged with four earned runs. The five walks is a little strange -- in April he allowed just three walks in 30 2/3 innings, so far in May he's walked 13 in 26 innings.
Lidle got off to a rocky start as Milwaukee pulled ahead 2-0 after two batters. Weeks led off with a single and Bill Hall followed with a two-run homer.
Lidle shut the Brewers out in innings two, three and four, getting a double play to bail the Phillies out in each inning. He started the fifth with a 3-2 lead and gave up a leadoff walk to Brady Clark. He was able to get the pitcher for the first out of the inning before hitting Weeks with a pitch that made it first and second with one out. He got Bill Hall but Jenkins hit a two-run double that made it 4-3 Milwaukee before Lidle got Lee to end the inning.
Lidle hit for himself in the bottom of the fifth and kept the Brewers off the board in the sixth.
Geoff Geary started the seventh with the Brewers still up 4-3. Weeks led off with a single and went to second on a wild pitch. Geary got Hall for the first out of the inning before Jenkins singled Weeks in from second. Geary got Lee to fly out and was replaced by Fultz, who came in to pitch to the lefty Fielder. Fultz struck him out.
Fultz kept the score at 5-3 in the top of the eighth, allowing a double to Damian Miller but keeping Milwaukee off the board.
Clay Condrey pitched a perfect ninth, getting three ground outs.
The Phillies scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. The Phils brought in their closer, Tom Gordon, the day after coming in to get four outs against the Mets. The first two batters, Lee and Fielder, doubled, putting the Mets up 6-5. Gordon got the next three batters but the damage was done. I thought Manuel did the right thing in both days -- bringing in Gordon in the eighth against the Mets on Thursday and bringing him in in the tie game in the tenth on Friday. It didn't work out, though. After his first appearance of more than one inning on the year, Gordon took the loss the next day when he couldn't get the job done for one of the very few times this season.
The Phillies kept Shane Victorino in the leadoff spot for the second straight day. Against lefty Chris Capuano the batting order went (1) Victorino (2) Utley (3) Abreu (4) Burrell (5) Howard (6) Rollins (7) Bell (8) Ruiz.
Milwaukee got off to an early 2-0 lead but the Phillies came back with a run in the second. Howard, Rollins and Bell all singled to start the inning. Bell's single brought in Howard but Rollins was caught trying to go to third on the play. It was bad baserunning, the Phillies could have had more in the inning. Ruiz followed by grounding into a double-play and they came away with only a single run.
The Phillies got a two-run homer in the fourth from Burrell, which put them up 3-2. Burrell ended the game with an unbelievable 362/508/872 line against lefties for the year.
The Phils were down 5-3 going into the ninth and had a tremendous inning. Every single batter that came to the plate had a good at-bat. Abreu walked, Burrell doubled and Howard doubled, bring in two runs to tie the game at 5-5 with nobody out and Howard on second. Rollins followed with a great at-bat, grounding out to the right side of the infield to move Howard to third with one out. Bell smashed the ball, a line drive to third that was caught and Howard was doubled off of third. The game went to the tenth tied 5-5.
Chris Roberson ran for Burrell after his ninth inning double, which would prove critical. With two outs in the bottom of the tenth, nobody on and the Phillies down 6-5, Victorino singled and Utley doubled, sending Victorino to third. With two outs and Abreu up and the youngster Roberson on-deck, the Brewers intentionally walked Abreu to pitch to Roberson.
Roberson flew out to center to end the game. It was a tough, tough position for a young player like Roberson to be in. You can't argue with running for Burrell in the ninth, however.
After the game Roberson
was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Rowand's return for Saturday's
game. Roberson was 1-for-13 with the Phillies.
Chris Coste made his major league debut in the tenth. With one out he flew out to center on the first pitch.
Victorino was 1-for-5 with three strikeouts. He was just 2-for-14 in his time in the leadoff spot after 47 games. He did a nice job in the tenth to get aboard on an infield single. Utley was also 1-for-5 but with a big hit in the tenth.
Burrell was 3-for-4 with a home run and two doubles. Howard 2-for-4 with a double.
Rollins and Bell were both 1-for-4. Rollins had a nice at-bat in the bottom of the ninth, moving Howard to third base with a groundout.
Ruiz was 0-for-3.
The Phillies start a three-game series with the Nationals tomorrow afternoon.
Maybe Kevin Stocker should lead off
May 26 2006
The Phillies traded
shortstop Kevin Stocker to the Devil Rays for Bobby Abreu in November, 1997,
and Abreu first played for the Phils in the 1998 season. He and Lieberthal
were the only current Phillies around at that time and Bobby hit 17 HR in
497 at-bats, posting a 312/409/497 line. He's on-based under .400 just once
since then, in 2001 he on-based .393.
With all this on-basing people are bound to complain about something. It turns out to be leadoff man Jimmy Rollins, who doesn't get on-base a lot under the best of circumstances and is struggling through a horrendous May. In 89 May at-bats, Rollins has hit .202 and on-based .290. That's awful. My point is this, however: it's awful no matter where Rollins hits. It's awful if he hits leadoff, or seventh or eighth or wherever. The real problem is not the batting order as much as the fact that 1/8 of the position players in the starting lineup hit .202 -- it makes the problem worse that he gets them most at-bats, but the problem was huge before that.
I'm pretty sure that I, like almost everyone else on the planet, have zero advice for three-time All-Star by age 27 Jimmy Rollins on how to start hitting above .202 this month. He's a big part of the team, though, and when he doesn't hit, the team is in trouble. The huge problem is going to be solved by Rollins himself -- he's not going to hit .237 for the whole season. Here's one solution for the lesser problem:
The Phillies should lead off Abreu against lefties. Over his career his line against righties is 313/427/555 and his line against lefties is 274/374/398. He still gets on base against lefties, but his slugging is down about 150 points so you aren't losing a ton of power by not having him in the middle of the lineup. His OPS against lefties is .772 and .982 against righties.
Here's what Abreu has done over his career hitting first in the order:

5 Small Banks to Consider
Ryan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: The original version misstated Southern Missouri Bancorp's Book Value. This version has been corrected.
A few weeks ago, I sold all of my shares of Bank of America. In the article, Why This Bank Is a Clear Sell, I explained my rationale for selling that stock.
Since making that decision, shares are down roughly 5% from the price that I sold them at. Needless to say, I am not regretting the decision.
But I am considering reallocating that capital and purchasing a bank – maybe a small bank. They are a better bet than large banks for 2013--after all, there are quite a few small banks that have very attractive valuations. Plus they have the potential to grow.
Smaller is better right now for three reasons: (1) smaller banks aren't subject to the additional capital requirements placed on larger banks; (2) the Volcker Rule will have no impact on smaller banks; and (3) the ongoing crisis in Europe will have virtually no impact on smaller banks.
That means that smaller banks are well-positioned to buy back shares and raise dividends! And you might see some consolidation among smaller banks as they look to leverage scale.
After a few screens, I came up with 5 banks to consider investing in.
Bank of Marin (NASDAQ: BMRC)
Bank of Marin is headquartered in California. On Oct. 18, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share – the company's 30th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Overall, last year was a record year for Bank of Marin, and according to the CEO, "credit quality remains very strong throughout our loan portfolio." Even in an environment of weak loan demand, low interest rates and compressed margins, and an increased need for internal resources to comply with regulatory demands, this bank continues to deliver solid results for its shareholders. Bank of Marin consistently outperforms its peers because it focuses on developing relationships, is disciplined, and has an in-depth understanding of its customer base. This bank has a return on equity of 12.4% vs. the industry average of 9.27%, and trades at a price to earnings multiple of less than 12.
Lakeland Financial (NASDAQ: LKFN)
Lakeland Financial is the third oldest financial institution headquartered in Indiana. Similar to other small banks, this company's business strategy is to maintain a traditional community banking approach while at the same time concurrently leverage the strength and size of its balance sheet to effectively compete with larger regional and national competitors. Although this strategy encompasses all phases of traditional community banking, including consumer lending, wealth advisory, trust services and retail brokerage, Lakeland Financial is primarily focused on building expansive commercial lending and deposit relationships and pursuing retail deposit gathering strategies through high levels of relationship-based client services. This company has a net profit margin of more than 31% vs. the industry average of less than 24%, and trades at a price to earnings multiple of around 11.
Penns Woods (NASDAQ: PWOD)
Penns Woods is a bank headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Services offered by this bank include accepting time, demand and savings deposits, including super negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, statement savings accounts, money market accounts, fixed rate certificates of deposit, and club accounts. It also makes secured and unsecured business and consumer loans that include financing commercial transactions, as well as construction and residential mortgage loans and revolving credit loans. This bank has a dividend yield of 4.65% and trades at a price to earnings multiple of around 12.
Over the past few years, Penns Woods has prioritized margin expansion over revenue growth. To continue to improve profitability, Penns Woods will have to cut costs. That is why it is important for investors to watch the company's margins very closely. Currently, Penns Woods has a net profit margin of 33.78% vs. the industry average of 21.57%. If Penns Woods can maintain this profit margin, it will continue to grow earnings per share in the mid-to-high single digits. With Penns Woods trading at less than 10 times cash flow, Penns Woods is attractively valued, particularly if you consider the strength of its underlying fundamentals.
Salisbury (NYSEMKT: SAL)
Salisbury Bank and Trust is a commercial bank offering a broad range of services including an extensive array of deposit services, multiple mortgage products, and various other types of loans designed to meet the financial needs of its customers. The Bank also has a full-service Trust and Investment Services division which offers financial planning, trust and estate administration, and investment management services. Salisbury has a dividend yield of 4.48% and trades at a price to earnings multiple of less than 11. Moreover, this bank trades at a price to book value ratio of around 0.60 vs. the industry average 1.27 (more than double) and has consistently delivered results over the past 10 years. Like Penns Woods, Salisbury is focused on expanding its margins, which have expanded by more than 100% over the past few quarters. Except that with a net profit margin of 15.87 there is still a lot of room for improvement. Moving forward, investors should watch two things very closely: changes in critical leadership positions and efforts to improve net profit margins.
Southern Missouri (NASDAQ: SMBC)
Southern Missouri Bank is the oldest financial institution headquartered in southeast Missouri. This bank attracts retail deposits from the general public and then uses those deposits, along with funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, to invest in mortgage loans, mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, commercial non-mortgage business loans and consumer loans. Funds are also used to purchase mortgage-backed and related securities and other investments. In 2010, Southern Bank acquired First Southern Bank. In the near future, this company may look to acquire another small bank in order to leverage scale. Southern Missouri pays a dividend of 2.4% and trades at a price to earnings multiple of less than 10. Over the past 5-years, this company has grown net income at an average annual rate of 26.74%, sales at 10.6%, and its dividend at 5.92%. So there is plenty of room for Southern Bank to raise its dividend. Furthermore, at a book value of $24.25 this company trades at a price to book value ratio of 1.
My Foolish Take
These are just a few of the many small banks that have attractive valuations, pay a nice dividend, have the potential to grow, and continue to deliver results. Even in an environment where loan demand is weak and interest rates are low, many of these banks continue to deliver record results. So you may want to consider betting on a few small banks instead of the large banks.

Today we have a new but very interesting gadget to show off. Especially at it's reduced pricepoint via Amazon (Over 50% off). From Peak we have a camera display that can be placed over your vehicle's rearview mirror and provide a quick view of what's going on right behind you. The actual camera mounts onto your license plate while the transmitter is housed in your trunk, so while viewing what's going on behind you you're also greeted with what's going on ground level, so you know not to hit something.. Like the family pet for instance. The purpose of course is to prevent such strategies and increase the safety of parking, or backing up your vehicle in general. It's a great tool for any driver, but especially makes it different with large trucks or semis which have a difficulty in that visibility area by default.

Weekend Snack: Radish Toast
Recipes from The Kitchn
I first discovered radish toast when purchasing a bunch of the striking pink veggies from one of the fantastic daily indoor markets that pepper the city of Paris. A smiling vendor pointed to his lunch as I placed my radishes in my bag: There on a small cutting board lay a hearty version of the radish toast. With many hand gestures and enthusiastic smiles on my part, he led me to the rest of the ingredients necessary for this tasty plate.
I learned early on while traveling, if a local food person is so kind as to show you (the obvious foreigner) the goods, you should listen up and follow directions. I thanked my radish friend and got to work.
Radish Toast is a very simple recipe, and as with all bare-bones assemblies, the quality of the ingredients is of the utmost importance. If you can't find the crunchiest, brightest radishes, don't even bother. I know that sounds snobby, but it's the truth. Just wait until next week when the harvest tastes better! In Portland, the radishes are going crazy right now, and with that in mind, I'm making a lot of tea-time radish toasts, just as I was shown while meandering a market in gay Paree.
Radish Toast
Ficelle (or substitute a baguette, but I enjoy the smaller size of the ficelle for this recipe), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Generous pats of high-quality butter (I enjoy locally-made Larsen's Cremerie Classique butter)
6 radishes, finely sliced
A few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Pinch of kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Toast your bread rounds to desired doneness (I like mine well-toasted). Spread butter on toast generously. Place radish slices on top of bread, and sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper.
Delicious with tea or a glass of wine.

Beautiful illustrations, Leela!
This is making me hungry! :) Another variation I love is with pumpernickel and truffle oil.
I've done this a few times, but with tarragon in place of the parsley. (And good margarine in place of the butter, since I'm vegan.) I love it, but my boyfriend finds it a little too radish-intensive.
A fave. My 5-year-old thinks it's hilarious. "Radish on toast!" Because toast is for jam.
This is my favourite thing. My family thinks I am strange. (and yes, lovely illustrations!)
This is my absolute favorite spring dinner. I prefer cream cheese to butter, or avocado! all versions are delicious.
Small, round, red and - most important! - hot radishes (German: Radieschen) sliced thinly on a thickly buttered slice of brown bread (sourdough) with a little bit of salt - heaven! And childhood memories.
Best are those radishes from your own garden because these are the only ones being hot enough.
Radish and butter sandwiches are oldschool farm food in my family. And absolutely fantastic. Although, I can't stand hot radishes myself. I like the milder, earthy ones with a little sea salt and really good sweet cream butter on just about any kind of bread. Although toasted english muffins are divine, as is Bernard Clayton's Old Order Amish bread. Although that stuff I could eat just plain. Lol.
Glad to see others are finding the gospel of radish sandwiches!
wonderful drawings/paintings! so pretty

Seaver asks Reid a question.
She knew that the team was doing everything that they could to make her feel welcome. That was why she wasn't particularly worried when Derek had invited her to see a movie with him and Garcia.
The movie was one that Derek had seen before but he'd insisted that she and Garcia see it. He said that it was cinematic mastery at it's best. And it was a movie that every BAU team member needed to see. When Seaver had inquired as to why he'd said that it would give her some insight to the mystery that was Dr. Reid.
After the movie ended the three of them went for a walk. As soon as they turned the corner, Derek turned to face her. "So, what did you think?"
"It was a good movie." She absentmindedly moved a wisp of blond hair that had been moved into her face by the wind.
Morgan smiled; she had missed the point of his question. "Did you figure it out yet?"
Garcia lightly tapped Derek on his shoulder. "I don't think our genius would like you spilling his secret all over the place."
"Don't worry about it baby girl."
Seaver chewed on her bottom lip, she had a feeling that the answer was right in front of her. "Before I make any guesses, can I talk to Reid, see if I can get any clues from him?"
Derek smiled, "Now you're thinking…" He knew that she would have to be very careful about how she approached Reid. Most of the time he was good but occasionally he could be tempermental. He contemplated telling her this and then quickly decided against it. Part of being a good profiler was being able to effectively read people; he figured why not start with people that know you.
The next day Ashley entered the BAU bullpen long before anyone else was there, well almost everyone. She had already begun to observe that Spencer made it a habit to be there hours before anyone else, that way the coffee would already be made and he would have some time to himself.
So she knew when she arrived an hour before anyone else was due to be there would be Spencer. She found him at his desk, cup of coffee in one hand, while the other hand ran down the length of page after page of the file in his lap. She smiled as she realized that he was reading.
"Dr. Reid?" She cringed at how tiny and unsure her voice sounded.
Without looking up he answered, "You can call me Spencer."
She smiled, she was sure she was doing the right thing but at the same time, although Derek seemed pretty sure that it was alright, she knew that she was more likely to side with Penelope in the area of it was none of her business and she should leave it alone. "Okay, Spencer. I was wondering if we could talk."
He looked up from the papers he'd been dealing with. H pushed his glasses further on his nose. She was the last person that he'd expected to see, he was further surprised that she wanted to talk to him. He figured that it was probably to pick his brain about past cases he had or to see if he really was as smart as they said he was. "Sure. What's up?"
She sat in the nearest vacant close to his desk. He had shocked her by how relaxed he seemed. Every other time she had seen him he was so up tight she had a hard time imagining him as human. "Well," as she spoke she tossed her hair over her shoulder; a habit from high school she had never broken out of. "Morgan, Garcia and I had gone out to see a movie, one of Derek's favorites."
"A Requiem for a Dream."
"Right, Derek had said that the movie had more in common with you than I realized." She noticed that as she spoke Reid was shaking. She wasn't sure if it was out of nervousness or fear but she was willing to bet that because of the fact that he'd gotten white as a sheet of paper all of a sudden. "If you don't want to…"
Spencer shook his head. "It's okay, I just didn't realize that they were hiding it. A few years ago I was kidnapped, mentally and physically beaten and then drugged by Tobias Hankel. He was a very scared and confused man with three different personalities in his head. The drug that he'd used was Delaudid, and so for quite awhile I was a user. I have since kicked my addiction; I don't even get the cravings anymore. But whenever I feel myself starting to slip I watch that movie or read the book. I use it as a reminder of what can happen if I allow myself to go down that path."
Ashley watched as he made eye contact with her but he'd been fidgeting with his pen the entire time. He was uncomfortable, not that she blamed him. It wasn't easy to tell anyone any of your dark secrets. From what she knew about him he was a very private person. So she was surprised that he didn't lie, blame someone else or try to cover it up. After all admitting to illegal drug use could easily end his career.
Reid put his pen down, exhaled and waited. He knew that everyone else on the team knew about it and accepted it as something terrible that had happened but something that he'd overcame. He waited to see the look of disgust, disbelief and rejection that he'd seen one too many times.
"I'm so sorry Dr. Reid. If I had known, I never would have brought it up." She'd decided right then and there that the next time she saw Derek she was going to punch him.
"It's alright. If I'm correct, Derek told you to ask me." Reid shook his head. "He specializes in behavioural patterns and the way that people react when put in stressful situations, either that or he's trying to get you used to reading other people; getting you used to being confronted with other people's demons and masking your surprise."
Ashley just looked at Reid in total shock. "Aren't you mad at him?" She looked into his eyes; he looked so sad and lost. She wanted to hug him, and try and fix him. Although she knew realistically none of that was going to happen.
Spencer took a minute to formulate his answer. He knew that he could be angry with Morgan, it would be easy. But he also knew that he had to take responsibility for the consequences of his actions. "It would be easy for me to say that I am, and give dozens of reasons but the fact is I have no real reason to be mad." He knew that she didn't get it, mainly because she was looking at him like he was an alien. "Let me explain. Tobias Hankel may have drugged me the first few times but all of the times that I chose to do it were my own fault. Morgan spilling the beans, as the saying goes, I figure is just part of my punishment for allowing myself to fall into such a common trap. That and if you were to become a permanent member of the team, you would learn about it anyway. I guess he was just trying to save time."
Ashley nodded her head, pretending that the scenario didn't bother her and pretending that she understood and that everything made sense.
"Is there anything else that you need to know or talk about?" As he talked, he basically said that the conversation was over by getting up and shakily walking to the break room. She followed him.
"No. But I don't think that you're okay with it."
Spencer turned to her. His eyes, had gotten a shade darker, and his hands were balled into fists at his side. "Who do you think you are? You come in here, asking questions that were technically none of your business but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and answered them. Don't presume know how I should feel, the drug addiction was my fault, and it is something that I will always struggle with." He turned his back to her finalizing the end to their conversation.
Ashley knew that she had to fix this somehow. "Dr. Reid, I didn't mean to offend or upset you. I'm sorry."
Reid put his coffee cup back on the counter. He had let the situation; memories and his feelings get the better of him. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He pushed his glasses further up on his nose. "Believe it or not, I'm not offended. It's just this last year has been hell, and I guess I'm just not used to having to explain what happened and why. I'm just tired of all of it. I'm sorry that I took it out on you."
Ashley went back to staring at him like he was insane. The last thing that she'd expected was for him to apologize but she accepted it as part of who he was. "Like I said it's alright. I understand." She gave his shoulder a pat; she didn't want to imagine the stress that he was under. Just as she was about to say something the elevator doors popped open and Derek, Penelope and Hotch stepped off.
Reid tilted his head, obviously considering something in his head, he hugged Seaver. "Thank you for understanding, now if you don't mind I think Penelope's black Adonis needs to be knocked off his pedestal."
She nodded and whispered to him, "I hope you kick his ass." For the first time since joining the Behavioural Analysis Unit she saw Reid give her a real smile as he made his way to Derek.
She watched as he clapped a hand on Derek's back and couldn't suppress her own smile as she watched the scene play out.
"Derek, let's discuss the words private and personal."
Without a second to spare Derek made a beeline for the safety of Hotch's office, with Reid close behind him.
Penelope walked over to Ashley shaking her head. "Boys never change." All Ashley did was smile.

This super-light and easy to use buggy is perfect for travelling
The Maclaren Volo for families on the go
Whether you're planning a weekend away, a dash for the slopes or a trip to the sun, you need a buggy that's built for the job, ie, that won't weigh you down, won't fill your boot, and that will transport your babe in safety and comfort.
Weighing in at a feather-light 3.9kg, and folding down in seconds to a truly manageable size, the Maclaren Volo is the travel buggy of choice. It's just been updated, and is now available in a choice of vibrant, summer-fresh popsicle colours with either a black or silver frame to co-ordinate. As ever, it comes complete with a hood, raincover and basket, so you're ready to go as soon as you've unpacked it from the box.
Smart extras
With spring only just around the corner, there are sure to be cooler days, and the new Packaway Footmuff (£40) fits perfectly with the Volo's 'less is more' ethos. It folds into its own compact, self-contained pouch for easy transport and storage, yet provides luxurious padding for the entire length of seat, making it perfect to keep in the basket with the raincover all year round, just in case (the British weather can never be called predictable).
If you're a regular flyer and don't want your buggy to be damaged, the Travel Bag (£35) could be a worthwhile investment – made from durable black nylon, it has carry handles and wheels and will carry your buggy plus a selection of other baby paraphernalia.
Maclaren Volo £80. Suitable from 6 months up to 15kg.

We're working on a new Slickdeals. Click here to check it out.
Welcome, Unregistered.
You last visited: Today at 07:28 AM
Quick FYI, the g500 is crap, sensor has built in acceleration and has pixel jitter whenever moved, get the g400 instead.
The G700 is no longer available for shipping and the closest store is miles away .
I submitted the price to Amazon, hopefully they'll step up.
[edit] I kinda wished Logitech refreshed the MX Anywhere mouse... Keep the same layout with matte finish, and add a charging cable to the design. I actually enjoy having the scrollwheel be a switch instead of a button with a dedicated mouse button below it. I wish they implement this design in their other mice .
Last edited by shiroikaze; 03-24-2013 at 12:25 PM..
"I like playing Smash Bros. with you, because apparently, you develop Tourette's, and it's fun."
I have a G700, and also like it a lot (my first mouse with Logitech's hyperscroll or whatever-it's-called). However, mine is extremely picky about the surfaces it works on. Some of the the same pads and surfaces that have worked with my G5 for years made for a sluggish and sticky cursor when using the G700 (cloth pads are out, as is the bare wood veneer of my cheap desk). I'd have thought mine was broken if it didn't work flawlessly on some surfaces, like glossy magazine covers and the cheap plastic Alsop mouse pad I eventually picked up from Fry's (some low-profile affair that I really like, actually).
At any rate, I appreciated the plethora of buttons, mouse shape, and wireless capability enough to keep the thing in spite of it's surface limitations. I don't travel with the mouse, and now that I have a pad that does work, there aren't really any further downsides. Well, maybe the relatively short battery life compared to other wireless mice, but I've yet to have it die on me as I'm good about remembering to plug it in when I'm done with it.
I picked up the G500 from the Amazon sale for $31.99 (gift card purchase via kroger fuel point deals) and use it at work. I love it compared to the one that is supplied by my billion dollar employer. My wife is in a similar boat and I picked up a G400 for her work using bestbuy gift cards from previous deals for $10 out of pocket. God knows how many people have used the mouse and I plan to pick up a couple decent fairly priced keyboards to replace as well. I don't mind the current models which are about to be discontinued since you get them for a very fair price. I have been using my G700 for 2 years and love it for home use along with gaming. I have TF2 keys setup on 1 setting along with daily use settings and stock default. Extremely versatile mouse but I will be honest that I leave it plugged in all the time. When I leave my house is when I use the mouse with out a cord and it works just fine. I try to keep AA batteries in my bag but have never had to use it. You can charge the G700 using a regular micro usb cable. I paid $77 2 years ago to amazon for the G700 and now that it is down to $50 it is a steal.
I would personally pay the $10 upgrade for the G700 for the extra buttons and the capability to use wireless when you feel like. I got the G500 from the most recent amazon sale for $31.99 and that was priced fairly. At the $40 range I would bump up $10 to the G700 and get a nicer smooth texture, extra buttons, and wireless capability.
Which is heavier, the G500 (without any weights) or the G700 with the double A battery? I'm not even sure why they have a weight tray for the G500 b/c the mouse is super heavy as it is.
1)PLEASE avoid posting about CA sales tax & recycling fees
2)The "no HDMI, deal killer" joke isn't funny
3)Avoid comparing video cards to cars, the price ranges are completely different
4)You are NOT going to call your relative to SUE and if you are, you're wasting time
5)Why does Tigerdirect ask for your SSN? No clue, just don't give it to them
6)Black Friday deals aren't as great as people make them seem.
I have been trying to decide between the performance MX or the G700 myself, but both have pretty much the same length and included battery if i am correct, any users please reply to correct me.
It is one of those things that you must try and keep track of and if it keeps dying or you have to recharge every 3 days, then you might have a defect which many have experienced, but logitech will definetly help you out.
Right now, the g700 has way more buttons than the Performance MX, and I had my eye on it, but since this is on sale, I am still researching if I should bite and if you have RZ certificates , this will make this even slicker. I am myself debating if the buttons get in the way and how it feels. I plan to use it for BF3, BL 2 and most of my steam library of FPS and Third-person.
