PTBNL Named in Van Buren Deal
Here's some more links if you care to read up on the kid. Sounds like a quality guy: Interview in Sept, 2004 with his alma mater His old Sox Prospect page A bit on him from Sons of Sam Horn
Thanks to ShawndGoldman for the scoop...
23 and in A ball? not even a
23 and in A ball? not even a remote prospect...happy new year to the sox, they got van buren for free.
apperently he had some
apperently he had some shoulder problems when he first signed, slowed his progress. He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren. Despite what we like to all believe, there's not a huge market for middle relief prospects.
I'm guessing Ciaramella begins in Daytona next year.
Looks like he didn't come
Looks like he didn't come out early. Last year was only his first year--doesn't mean he isn't a good prospect.
Chris, He was 23 in A-ball
He was 23 in A-ball because he finished college at the University of Utah, as the post says.
As far as I am familiar, I believe all the guys who *finish* college need a year to adjust to professional ball, and the highest level of A-ball is where they start. So I think he is right on track as far as that is concerned...
I take it this guy was NOT
I take it this guy was NOT on their 40-Man roster as we have no space. So, with no space availible, all these PTBNL we are owed (BALT, BOS, AZ), we really can't expect anyone too good. That is another reason why Grissolm has to be signed to a minor league deal. We have no room left on the roster.
"He's no blue-chipper but
"He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren."
JVB was a 2nd round pick...he had success as a closer at AA, and at AAA...then came to the bigs for a cup of coffee, and, while wild, pitched reasonably well. I would much rather have JVB in the pen than Roberto "Where's the plate" Novoa, or even Wuertz. This Ciaramella sounds like a decent player, but 4 HRs in 225 ABs in A ball does not sound like much of a power hitter to me. I'm just sayin'...
23 is 23, it's great that he
23 is 23, it's great that he played college ball for 4 or 5 years but that doesn't make him a better player...probably makes him a worse player actually. he's behind on the development curve because of it.
Let's fix a few
Let's fix a few things,,,
Ciaramella has been with the Red Sox since June of 2004. He played in SS A ball in 2004 and played like crap, but he was suffering from shoulder problems which apparently plagued him his junior year in Utah as well.
He must have still been suffering from the same problem or had other injuries last year as he only got 280 AB's between rookie ball and A ball last year. He did not play in the highest level of A ball last year. He played in Greenville, equivalent to plaing at Peoria. Wilmington is the Red Sox Advanced A team (equivalent to Daytona).
As I said, no blue chipper, but he's apparently intending to hit the weight room and if he fills out and gains some power he could be something. He's not that far behind the curve, he'll turn 24 in October and if he gets a promotion to AA, he's right about where he should be for a kid out of college.
I'm guessing we're not getting any players from Baltimore(replacement Dave Crouthers)or Arizona (Stephen Randolph deal?) , probably just got some cash that was never reported. I could be wrong....
Grissom should be signed to a minor league deal cause he doesn't deserve guaranteed money, but yeah the 40 man is full at the moment.
"23 is 23, it's great that
"23 is 23, it's great that he played college ball for 4 or 5 years but that doesn't make him a better player...probably makes him a worse player actually. he's behind on the development curve because of it."
I for one believe that if you have it, you have it. It doesn't matter what age you are. Wade Boggs and Randy Johnson both started much later, and both are HOFers.
"He's no blue-chipper but
"He's no blue-chipper but neither is Van Buren."
Please explain your comment, I don't get it. JVB is on the Red Sox 40 Man Roster.
Ciaramella, LITERALLY, isn't even in the same league with JVB.
I take it this guy was NOT
I take it this guy was NOT on their 40-Man roster as we have no space. So, with no space availible, all these PTBNL we are owed (BALT, BOS, AZ), we really can't expect anyone too good.
Just because someone isn't on the 40 man doesn't mean they're not a good prospect, it just means they're not ready yet this year. Look at Matt Murton, he was a good prospect who wasn't on the 40 man until the middle of last year.
Oops Rob G, looks like you
Oops Rob G, looks like you posted over me. I imagine you're done explaining.
Apparently, part of the
Apparently, part of the reason he's a little behind is injuries to his shoulder. The following quotes are from the SoSH article Rob G. linked to above:
"Immediately after his signing with the Red Sox and heading to Lowell, Matt discovered through the Red Sox trainers that he had a shoulder injury that he played most of his college season with and it ruined most of his early appearances even putting him on the DL that summer. His dad mentioned how amazing the Pro trainers were in drawing up a rehab plan to strengthen Matt's shoulder. Part of that shoulder stregthening program is explained in the Ciaramell interview on SoxProspects.com."
"Matt's 2004 partial season at Lowell was limited to only 45 games where he only hit .189 by the end. But he started healthy at Wilmington as a 22yr old and had a much better season at low-A ball this year posting a .302/.360/422 line in approx 246 pa. He did get hurt again during the season and sent to rehab so I am not sure if it was related to his shoulder or not."
I think this year will be an important one for him. He needs to stay healthy and start advancing through our system. But i think its too early to judge his development speed, given the short amount of time he's had as a professional and the aforementioned injuries.
JVB ain't no Maddux with the
JVB ain't no Maddux with the control, you know? He's barely better than Novoa in those terms. But he'll turn 26 midway through this year. I liked Van Buren as well, but his inconsistent mechanics are going to always lead to control problems and/or an injury. Would have preferred something better in return or just kept him, but this will likely be 2 inconsequential baseball souls trading uniforms. It's not that big a deal, other then further proof that Hendry needs an assistant "40 man roster" GM, along with his assistant "Middle infielder" GM and assistant "bench" GM
what the hell does being on
what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect? Felix Pie didn't get on the 40 man until this year and he'd be no lower then #3 in most any teams system. Just means that he hasn't been in baseball long enough to have to be protected.
Maybe Hendry got him to be
Maybe Hendry got him to be the hitting coach because from the interview Rob posted seems like he knows more about hitting than Sargeclines. Good work on getting the info on him Rob. Overall he sounds like a switch-hitting version of Sing.
thanks, but I stole that all
thanks, but I stole that all from the forums at northsidebaseball.com; can't really take credit.
Sing's become ultra-patient
Sing's become ultra-patient in his later years and is a big boy. I mean big boy with unreal power. Ciaramella is closer to Murton it appears. Doesn't K a lot, doesn't walk a whole lot either but he's not swinging at bad pitches. Seems to have gap power at the moment. If he bulks up a bit, he may one day be useful.
"what the hell does being on
"what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect?
When was that the question? And when was a 222 AB career in "A" ball enough to properly evaluate an obscure prospect, much less equate him with JVB.
One thing seems to be sure, if you have an unconventional looking delivery, the Cubs can't wait to get rid of you.
didn't you mention something
didn't you mention something about JVB being on the Red Sox 40 man and Ciamarella not being as some reason that this trade is skewed towards the Red Sox. Manny mentioned something as well about the 40 man...
225 Ab's aren't much, but he's got a college track record too and you can tell from his peripherals and scouting reports what type of player he was. What type of player he'll be? Only time will tell....
He's got some stuff going for him, we'll see if it pans out. Do you really know if JVB is going to pan out? Exactly. The Cubs scouts must like him for whatever reason, so we'll see.
The point is Van Buren could
The point is Van Buren could of nabbed a whole hell of alot more than that. The way overpriced bullpen arms are these days he has some value.
He would of been nice as a sweetener in any trade. But no we gave him away for virtually nothing.
I have a feeling a bullpen anchored by Wuertz, Ohman, and Williamson would of done just as good a job as Eyre and Howry.
Everyone glosses over the fact that Will Ohman had a pretty good season for us last year out of the pen.
Did we really need to spend 3+ million a year on Eyre when Ohman was doing just as good of a job in the same role?
Eyre - 86 games (68 IP), 2.63 ERA, BAALefties - .182, BAARighties - .213.
Ohman - 69 games (43 IP), 2.91 ERA , BAALefties - .173, BAARighties - .231.
Wuertz had an awesome first season out of the pen. He struggled against lefties but he plain dominated right handed hitters to the tune of a .197 BAA.
I hope Eyre and Howry keep doing what they have done in the past but if they faulter even the slightest bit Ohman and Wuertz should be moved up in priority in that bullpen. It won't happen, but they should be.
Hopefully Ohman and Wuertz will get some regular time out of the pen next year to keep developing and not go a few weeks between relief appearances.
my guess is that eyre/howry
my guess is that eyre/howry will be the set-up men for dempster and will be used more often then not in full one inning stints. Ohman's going to be a full-fledged LOOGY next year and I'm not sure where Williamson will be used exactly, but he should have a lot better year then last year.
Rob G.: "what the hell does
Rob G.:
"what the hell does being on the 40 man have to do with being a good prospect?"
I was thinking the same thing....
99.9% of all players were in the minors at some point and not on the 40-man.
But maybe someone was trying to just say this guy is a good prospect, in a round about way or something. But he is a big question mark right now till he can get healthy and some real AB's under his belt.
My point about the 40-man is that if he is not on there, more than likely he isn't going to be helping the big club soon.
Eyre isn't a one inning
Eyre isn't a one inning pitcher though. He comes in most times to get 1 hitter out. Howry is the guy you bring in for a full inning to get most anyone out. In my opinion Howry is worthy of his contract, Eyre is vastly overpaid to do 1 batter gigs.
If Williamson is fully recovered (which spring training should tell) then he should be Dempsters primary setup guy.
If everyone does what they are supposed to out of the pen then yeah it could be vastly improved. But the only problem is the only guys with track records of being good are Howry and Williamson. Everything else is a crap shoot. Hell Williamson is a crap shoot also because of his injury. So basically we are down to Howry being reasonably dependable.
Felipe's gone a bit whacky
Felipe's gone a bit whacky with the pitching changes late in innings, can't imagine Dusty will be that bad, but who knows. Still think Eyre was signed to be a 7th/8th inning setup guy along with Howry. Williamson is the fallback in case one of them gets injured.
But hey, it's Dusty, only he knows how he'll actually end up using them.
Curious what our bullpen will be next year....
Hill, Guzman, Koronka all still lurking
And what the hell are we doing with 4 catchers anyway? Gives Baker something to do this spring I suppose.
Rob G.- Good point about
Rob G.-
Good point about looking a the pen. I agree with your Certainties, and with most teams carring 12 pitchers that means we need to add 2 more.
A lot depends on Wood. If he does not make it for Opening Day, then things will work out fine with Novoa and Weurtz making the final two spots.
Starters (w/o Wood):
Releivers (w/o Wood):
*** The only problem with this is we would have no long relief. So maybe WElly, Hill, Guzman or Koronka would step in the 12th pitcher spot sending Weurtz or Novoa down. ***
If Wood does make Opening Day (yeah, I know) then things get a bit tight.
Starter (w/ Wood):
Relievers (w/ Wood):
Of course all this is contingent on no trades between now and opening Day and no injuries.
Too much pitching is a nice
Too much pitching is a nice problem to have, but once again it is contingent on Wood being healthy.
Wood will be fine, probably
Wood will be fine, probably won't miss more then a few starts in April. As I said yesterday, for all our moaning this off-season, if Wood, Z and Prior make 30+ starts this year, the Cubs will probably be contending in September and Hendry/Baker will look like geniuses for stressing speed and defense.
eyre was a 1-inning
eyre was a 1-inning guy.
last year he became an inning guy...alou (skitzo pen handler..use 38274239847 arms a game) used him in both inning and spot roles.
expect him to take remlinger's role and with ohman around, expect him to be a 1-inning guy.
he's not a bad pitcher at all.
Crunch- I agree he will take
I agree he will take Remmy's role of the left handed one inning guy. That was a big misconception of Remmy last year, thinking he was a LOOGY. But all but maybe 2-3 times ALL year he was used as an inning guy (he had 35 appearences and 33.0 IP). He shouldn't of been used as a LOOGY at all, clearly, but I find it even more funny that EVERY TIME a switch hitter came up the opposing manager/player never went to the left side.
#28 Rob G. Great point Rob.
#28 Rob G.
Great point Rob. With improved defense Prior and Z might both be Cy young contenders. Imagine the defense (Don't think about hitting) if we have Cedeno at SS and neifi at 2nd.
However, IF Williamson comes back 100% AND we used Wood in the pen how would a 7, 8, 9 of Williamson, Dempster, Wood look? Remember the nasty boys of the 90 reds? Dibble, Franco Myers...... How sweet would that be. Makes it a 6 inning game.
except that we signed howry,
except that we signed howry, eyre for the 7th/8th most likely. Wood should be a starter and this being his walk year, I doubt he'll be as willing to go to the bullpen this year.
I would much rather have JVB
I would much rather have JVB in the pen than Roberto "Where's the plate" Novoa, or even Wuertz.
Jermaine Van Buren might - MIGHT - be qualified to shine Michael Wuertz's shoes. Anything beyond that, no.
Hey, Jermaine! - Go get your shine box!
Ummmm, actually the last 3
Ummmm, actually the last 3 years Eyre has been a specialty pitcher who usually goes 1-2 batters max.
Before that he usually went more than 1 inning and didn't have very good results. Like I said Eyre isn't dependable on a regular basis to pitch a full inning. His success as a reliever has come in the very short outings role.
We paid out the ass for his fluke 2.63 ERA last year. He is more of a 4.00 ERA pitcher.
Fuuuuuuuuuck you! Get a job
Fuuuuuuuuuck you!
Get a job with the Cubs!
Enough! Let Hendry do his
Let Hendry do his job.
I know Dusty stinks, but take the good with the bad. He ain't Jim Frey! But he is twice Herman Franks! These are good times on the Northside. By the way, I am drunk.

2006 and HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!!
The year of the Cub
"Ummmm, actually the last 3
"Ummmm, actually the last 3 years Eyre has been a specialty pitcher who usually goes 1-2 batters max."
that dont matter.
last year matters. eyre wasnt the same pitcher 3 years ago or even 2 years ago...arguably 2 years ago when he really started to come through on his stuff as a pitcher not just a thrower...he just didnt get his chance to shine til later in 04 and for much of 05.
and if any of that dont matter...well, ohman's the "loogy" and eyre is here to work innings. its what he did last year and what he'll do in 06.
speaking of 06..happy 06 everyone.
I currently reside in
I currently reside in Portland, Oregon and the sports' radio station out here is WFAN. And WFAN (NY report) is reporting the Mets and Cubs have terms on a deal where the Cubs will send Felix Pie and Rich Hill to the Mets for Aaron Heilman and Cliff Floyd.
NCFAN- Norm Charlton was
Norm Charlton was the 3rd Nasty Boy, not Franco.
Happy New Years to all.
Cubs are still one "difference maker" from being a believable playoff contender.
Bob sacamento- If that is
Bob sacamento-
If that is true, and I don't believe it is, it really happened under the radar. And it happened at a weird time on New years Eve. Did Minaya and hendry have nothing better to do and it couldn't wait a day? Also, Floyd has a limited No trade clause (not sure to which teams). Also, giving up our two best minor league prospects sounds like a lot to me, for Floyd who is in his last year of contract (rent-a-player) and for a 27 year old middle to long relief guy.
But what do I know I am half blitzed!!
Hey I'm not saying it's true
Hey I'm not saying it's true but just posting what WFAN reported. It's no secret that Hendry has long had an affliction for the middle of the order lefty Floyd and that Heilman fits the versatile role of pitcher that Hendry has been looking for this offseason.
But yeah Pie going anywhere seems slim, especially for such an old injury prone player like Floyd despite his good power, contact, and eye. Heilman's stock like Hill's skyrocketed this last season. Personally I think Heilman has a better chance to be a top setup man or decent starter than Hill. Hill looks like he'll become a lefty specialist unless he adds another quality pitch.
"With two years left on his
"With two years left on his contract, Matt Clement wouldn't be a bad risk for the Cubs if they traded Mark Prior or Carlos Zambrano. He could win 15 games in the National League. The Red Sox are shopping Clement and David Wells"
-Phil Rogers 1/1/06
Phil Rogers is officially an idiot!
That Floyd trade would make
That Floyd trade would make sense if not for:
Heilman demanding to be a starter
The Met's already having a centerfielder for the next 5 years
The Met's already having a centerfield for the future (Milledge unless he got traded to Florida which I don't recall)
That leaving the Mets without a left fielder
That giving the Cubs 2 starters in left field
Hendry showing an aversion (this off-season) to injury prone players
Heilman was the Met's 2nd best pitcher last year. I've got no idea why they don't want to put him back in the rotation. Ok maybe he was their 3rd best pitcher.
Despite the fact that trade
Despite the fact that trade report was from a troll if Hendry wants to get Zito that is not a bad trade. If you read "Moneyball" you know Beane has a player crush on Floyd and has been looking for an impact bat for his lineup and Helieman would be the MLB SP he has been looking for. NYM can use Hill and Pie in that 4-way Manny-Miggy deal to send to BAL.
Bob, I thought all radio
I thought all radio and TV stations West of the Mississippi started with 'K'. I'm not opposed to giving up prospects, but I think the trade you mention is too much for too little.
Well a 4-way trade involving
Well a 4-way trade involving Tejada is gaining traction. ESPN just reported on it.
Teams involved - Mets, Boston, Orioles, Tampa Bay.
Boston - Tejada, Gathright
Mets - Manny Ramirez
Orioles - Julio Lugo, Matt Clement and Kris Benson
Tampa - Aaron Heilman, Jae Seo, Kaz Matsui
I am not sure about the players Tampa might get, I just saw it briefly.
That is a nice deal if Boston can get Tejada and Gathright.
Nope, there are radio
Nope, there are radio stations and TV stations west of the Mississippi with call letters that begin with W. For example, the ABC affiliate in Fargo, North Dakota is WDAY. And they also have a radio station with the same call letters.
Rob G. #28--well said.

Mike c, That's interesting
Mike c,
That's interesting because today's NY post said that deal wont happen. In terms of radio stations and call letters in the 20's the government districted out areas stations could broadcast and implented the system of W for East stations and K for the west though stations were grandfathered in. There are a couple of K stations in PA and as arm said a w station in ND and there is also one in Vegas I think.
The Mets must have more
The Mets must have more starters than I thought if they're willing to trade 3 of them for Manny.
Actually I think it was Andy
Actually I think it was Andy Marte instead of Jae Seo.
Boston doesn't really have a need for Marte since they have Lowell at 3rd base.
According to the NY daily
According to the NY daily news story yesterday Marte and Seo were both in the deal.
Fox Sports: That's where
Fox Sports:
That's where the Devil Rays come in. They would send Joey Gathright to Boston to help fill the Red Sox's center field hole. Obviously, Tejada would fill the void at shortstop.
Ramirez and Baez, on the other hand, would head for New York, giving the Mets one of the game's best power hitters and set-up men.
As for the Orioles, they would satisfy their shortstop and pitching needs by acquiring Julio Lugo from Tampa Bay, and veteran right-hander Kris Benson from the Mets.
The Devil Rays are thought to be seeking young prospects ó especially pitchers. And they could be satisfied on that front if they can acquire Red Sox third baseman Andy Marte, and pitchers Jae Seo and Aaron Heilman from the Mets.
In addition, The Daily News says that the Mets would send Kaz Matsui to the D-Rays to temporarily fill the void at shortstop until hot prospect B.J. Upton is ready for the big time
Met's Trade:
Met's Get:
Fantasy Baseball League Title
Rays trade:
Rays get:
Indictment on charge of grand larceny
Red Sox trade:

Hoarse from laughing their way to the 2006 WS

A trip to the proctologist
No way in hell that trade happens- Orioles deal Tejada to division rival for Lugo and Benson? They could just sign Weaver. The average Cubs fan's blog fantasy of trading Jason Dubois and Mitre to the Reds for Dunn is more realistic than this crap.
Real Neal, You forgot about
Real Neal,
You forgot about Clement who is suppose to go to BAL in that deal according to the NY daily news. If the O's cant get the $$$, NTC's and players going/coming worked out with the Sox they will have to risk an unhappy camper in Tejada or putting Bedard in a trade with us. I think they will take Opt. 1 and deal Tejada at the deadline for prospects.
Radio trivialities--WBAP is
Radio trivialities--WBAP is in Dallas. WHO is in Des Moines. WHB in Kansas City. WCCO in Minneapolis. WMT in Cedar Rapids. There are more. Once you get out to the Rockies and Plains, then the W-stations are gone.
East of the river, not many I can think of with K. KDKA in Pittsburgh is about the only one off the top of my head.
Eric -- to add a triviality
Eric -- to add a triviality onto a triviality (which I find very interesting), years ago the FCC laid down the rule that the Mississippi river would be the K/W line: i.e. west of the Mississippi, all radio and TV station call letters start with "K", east of the Miss. they start with "W." However, existing stations were grandfathered in (and you named some of them).
And let's not forget WOW radio and WOW-T in the great state of Nebraska.
Many of my brain cells are wasted carrying this kind of trivia.
I don't think this was the
I don't think this was the worst thing that could happen. Overall they don't have that many decent minor league OFs in house that can hit off the bench in the majors or be used as trade bait.
Recent comments
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).

Around Mid March and October the Snowgeese Migrate and stop here at Freezout. There can be upwards of 20k at a time. It is very loud and I suggest you have a umbrella if they are going to fly over you just in case. I seen what looks like steam come off the lake when I first moved here and a local told me no that is snow geese. And I said how many? 1,000 they said more like 10-20 times that. It is amazing. This lake is a resting area for migratory birds. I was so shocked to hear that there was that many birds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyHMbJlhb9kCaught on film in 2011. Only thing that beats this ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNQPidYyk0Q1.2 Million snowgeese elsewhere
Also here many thanks, jlc!
Best wishes, Stevia
Great view! Like. Michael

Just in time for the kickoff of the 2012 presidential campaign, Joe McGinniss, the author of the classic account of the packaging of a presidential candidate, The Selling of the President, of the acclaimed search for the essence of Alaska, Going to Extremes, and of the bestselling study of the dark family secrets of an American patriarch, Fatal Vision, presents his already controversial investigative chronicle of Sarah Palin as an individual, politician, and cultural phenomenon.
Based on McGinniss's on-the-ground reporting that began in late 2008 (which yielded an April 2009 Conde Nast Portfolio cover story) and continued with his return to Alaska in 2010, this book is a startling and penetrating examination of the illusion and reality of Palin--and a probing look at the Alaska and the America that have produced her, and the country she feels she is destined to lead. The Rogue delves deeply into Alaska's political and business affairs and Palin's political, personal, and family life to chronicle how and to what extent Palin and her beliefs, attitudes, and outlook will influence and even change life in America and the perception of America abroad.
About the Author
Joe McGinniss Jr. is the author of "Carousel Court" and "The Delivery Man. "He lives in Washington, DC, with his family.
Arthur Morey has recorded over two hundred audiobooks in history, fiction, science, business, and religion, earning a number of AudioFile Earphones Awards and two Audie Award nominations. His plays and songs have been produced in New York, Chicago, and Milan, where he has also performed.
Praise For…
"Plunging into a subject without wearing blinders is an engaging investigative method, and McGinniss, as he always manages to do, pushes the story forward in momentum while continuing to link new material with bits of information from past experiences and interviews. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Improving the Speech Quality With OSC: Double Full-Rate Performance Assessment
Speech quality is an important measurement for performance evaluation in a wireless mobile communication system since voice is still the most used service on it. The speech quality evaluation in GSM system employing narrowband and wideband AMR codecs with Orthogonal Sub Channel (OSC) technique is addressed in this paper. OSC is a feature proposed in 3GPP GERAN to double circuit switched capacity in GSM networks. It has introduced two new channel modes, namely Double Full-Rate (DFR), and Double Half-Rate (DHR), which have doubled capacity when compared to legacy AMR channel modes.

The stories are all short, just four or five pages each. It takes special talent to pack intriguing characters, vividly drawn settings, and the hottest of sex into such a short space, but all of these writers manage it with so much intensity that you're probably better off reading just one, savoring it, and waiting a while before reading another. I say "probably," because I didn't manage to wait.
The variety of characters and scenarios is excellent, something that especially pleases me. I can't really choose favorites, but the ones that stick in my mind most are Teresa Noelle Robert's thunderstorm sex on a beach in Maine, Kathleen Delany Adams's steamy August night resonating with the buzz of cicadas (and with lesbian butch-femme sex,) the poignant prose of Cheyenne Blue's Ireland/Arizona house swap, and Tamsin Flowers's Antarctic midsummer at Christmas, where a dip in barely-melted icewater could be fatal without the rapid salvation of shared body heat.
Oh, and besides all the pleasure the book offers, the entire proceeds go to help the family of writer extraordinaire Sommer Marsden in their fierce battle against cancer.
This is an anthology of 20 stories with proceeds from the sale going to support our friend and erotica author Sommer Marsden.
I'm not going to review my own story, but I want to touch on several others I really liked.
Fireworks Display by Emerald---She had decided to watch some fireworks from the comfort of her car. Then the truck with six gorgeous men pulls up.
Next week is National Day here in Singapore. There is a huge display of fireworks as part of the festivities, and when I see them, I know this story will be on my mind. The build up and tension are great. The juxtaposition against and description of the fireworks really did it for me. Emerald is a new author to me, and I'll be checking out more of her work.
Tell me by May Deva--A pin-up photography session is the cost of losing a poker bet.
Any story that starts with "Oh, hell no!" is going to grab my attention. This story hit all my sweet spots. I love pin-up photography, I love banter, and I really really love twists at the end of a story.
Arizona, Ireland, New England by Cheyenne Blue---You never quite know where home is until you find it.
Two friends come up with the idea of switching homes for the summer. But it doesn't quite turn out how they expected. As an expat who thought I knew what I was getting into when I moved to the other side of the planet, only to find out that fantasy and reality are two different things, I related to both the women in the story. The way that Cheyenne uses sensory descriptions--the way one of them "will fearlessly sweep a scorpion from the kitchen bench with a swift flick of a tea towel" makes for a story I'll revisit.
BE SURE TO READ the Foreword. These stories were written (by 20 authors) and published for one reason: to benefit the husband of erotica author Sommer Marsden. It's a good cause.
Overall, this is a fast read of stories that are good to read while you're laying out on the beach or by the side of a pool. I knew that these stories would be short, but I will admit they were even shorter than I anticipated. This gave the tone of the collection more of a teasing edge to it, because just when things would get interesting, it'd switch to another story.
Like with any other anthology, I enjoyed some of these stories more than others. If I didn't like it, chances are it was because I didn't enjoy whatever kink was being addressed, or I didn't like the narrative style. I am not going to review all twenty stories, but I will mention the two that I liked best, in no order. "To Hell with Sunset" by A.M. Hartnett is about a boat tour that is much hotter than the sun they're sailing under. "Summer in December" by Tamsin Flowers is story about a chef who is dying to get her boss's attention, and the nearby beaches might be just the way to do so. These were both steamy, enjoyable reads that I definitely recommend.
This is a good anthology for anyone who enjoy short stories, or who is looking for a hot but breezy read for their beach e-reader. Thanks so much to Netgalley and Fido Publishing for my chance to read this in exchange for my honest review.

Making Extra Money: Turn a Hobby Into a Business
In 2012, the National Retail Federation projected Americans would dish out an average of $145.28 for Easter, including everything from apparel and candy to food and decorations. Total spending was expected to reach $16.8 billion.
Compared to an estimated average of $750.47 for purchases made at Christmas in 2012, $145.28 may seem low. But it's still more than you need to spend, especially when it comes to Easter baskets.
Instead of rushing out to buy overpriced gifts in the days before Easter, consider these inexpensive, but cool, ideas. And no, we're not just talking about a trip to the dollar store!
1. Skip the big stuff
In the National Retail Federation's 2012 report, apparel was included in the average amount spent for Easter. Keep in mind this is Easter, not Christmas, when bigger gifts are more appropriate. New clothes and iPods aren't Easter basket staples. Instead, buy small items, such as a DVD or two, or items your kids will need for summer, like a new pair of sunglasses.
2. Make kid coupons
Don't make this your basket's central theme, but include some creative coupons, such as a "Take Out the Trash Pass" or a "Cook my Favorite Dinner Pass." Even if the kids aren't enthralled with the coupons on Easter morning, they'll appreciate them on a summer afternoon when they'd rather spend time with their friends than do chores.
3. Bake your own gourmet treats
To save some cash on sweet treats – which are an obvious staple in any Easter basket – try baking your own goodies. We suggest bunny-shaped sugar cookies with icing, or Easy Easter Bunny Bites, found in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
4. Reuse baskets
There's no reason to buy new Easter baskets every year, especially if you already own durable baskets or buckets. After the kids finish digging through their baskets or embarking on an egg hunt, store the baskets in a plastic bin or hang them up until next year.
5. Use loose change
Have extra quarters or a few $1 bills in your wallet? Stick them in some plastic eggs. Who doesn't love some extra money in their Easter basket? Just be sure the amount of loose change you dole out doesn't add up to more than $10.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - The Lexington, 05/07/11
Fanzine primed the crowd with a pleasantly mid-90s throwback, with a set that instantly recalled the joys of college radio in a time when people made and bought actual fanzines. Most of the songs were cut from the same cloth as REM or Jimmy Eat World, but the band is young, and all the ingredients are there to create something exciting in the future. [read more]
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II
Ruban Nielson's emergence back in 2011 as Unknown Mortal Orchestra happened to ride the wide crest of a psychedelic re-emergence in mainstream US indie, alongside daffy wastrels Ariel Pink and Ty Segall. Being the very incarnation of the term 'hit and miss', the genre has spawned more brief starbursts than lasting marks. If there is a classic to be found in the midst of the swell, that particular pearl is perhaps still awaiting discovery. [read more]

Lighting for every room in the home! Overhead lighting is a great way to set a mood, create an atmosphere and make a statement. Every room in the home should have some type of ceiling lighting, and the choices of styles are endless! Ceiling lighting fixtures are generally used as a room's primary source of light. Illuminating from the ceiling provides the best overall lighting making general tasks easier, all while adding style to the space.
Ceiling lights are available in hanging, recessed or flush mounted, in any style imaginable to suit any room and any design motif. Consider a multi-light pendant over a large island in the kitchen or a bold chandelier to welcome guests in the foyer.

Scotland needs £10billion reserve to start own currency says pro-independence think-tank
GETTY The astonishing admission is yet another huge body-blow to Nicola Sturgeon's attempts to break away from the UK. If the country ever voted to become independent the Scottish Government would need to find the huge sum in order to hold in a foreign reserve fund, according to the study by pro-independence group, Common Weal. Researchers claim £10 billion would be a "significant sum" to raise but "not an insurmountable one", suggesting Scotland could acquire a share of the UK's foreign reserve as part of any separation agreement. However, critics have said the introduction of a separate currency would be "disastrous" for the Scottish economy and have even branded the suggestion "totally unrealistic".Express.co.uk q

>>>> MARKETS vs. TIMEWAVE ZERO
Poster Handle
Post Content
The timewave theory is vague, pseudoscientific nonsense. I read all of Mckenna's books in college 10+ years ago, and it never made sense...
Basically he took the patterns of the different i-ching hexagrams, made them into a graph, and then applied the shape of that graph to a timeline, which he arbitrarily started at various historical points in the past and then ascribed the peaks and valleys of the graph to big events that represented "novelty" to him.. The most recent cycle of the timewave was started ARBITRARILY on the date of the Hiroshima bombing because McKenna theorized it represented a point of extreme novelty. However, starting the cycle on that date meant it would end in November of 2012... so, he fudged the date to make it align with the mayan calendar end date of 12/21/2012. That is all there is to it!
I think most people who believe in the timewave theory have never actually read McKenna's writings on it, they probably just learned about it from youtube videos. Read a book, morans!
link to www.viewzone.com
When he finally arrived at the shape of the Timewave, McKenna then had to superimpose it on historical events. He placed the beginning of the wave at the theoretical beginning of the universe, more than 15 billion years ago. Here, the Timewave graph began at zero and spiked up to reach a high degree of organization. As he plotted the wave he realized that it eventually reached zero at the end. Further, this end was in our present era!
The last harmonic of the wave has a duration of 67.29 years, marked again by some dramatic event at the onset of the pattern. At first McKenna placed this event with the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This worked out to the graph reaching zero in mid-November of 2012. Later, when he learned of the end date of the Mayan calendar, he adjusted the wave to coincide with this time.
Anonymous Coward 10373509
I heard him say he came up with his end date before he was aware of the Mayan date 12/21/12. So he deliberately lied? Seems out of character, but you read all his books. Would he lie or misrepresent?

n el último Estudio Económico de Colombia de la OCDE, que se publicará el lunes 19 de enero del 2015, se analiza el desempeño del país durante la última década en materia de crecimiento y reducción de la pobreza, impulsado por el boom del petróleo y la minería y la solidez del marco monetario, fiscal y financiero.
Regional development policy is a priority of Colombia's government. The country has experienced sustained economic growth over the past decade; yet several territories still lack development opportunities. To promote growth in all regions the government has engaged in a series of reforms. For instance, it started allocating royalty payments generated by hydrocarbon resources to all departments and most municipalities, including those that are not endowed with natural resources. The reform also promotes better multilevel governance and represents a good policy practice for countries seeking to link natural resource development with regional development.
To support the current efforts of Colombia's government, this report illustrates policy recommendations to help national authorities adopting a territorial approach to inclusive economic development. In particular, the OECD recommends to: a) improve the quantity and quality of regional statistics and formulate urban and rural taxonomies that help tailor policies to places; b) involve territorial constituencies in the design of policy interventions and allocate to them more implementation responsibilities within the framework of the National Development Plan; c) promote coordination among subnational bodies to scale up investment in territories to avoid that public investment – and royalty payments – gets dispersed in a myriad of small-scale projects.
"Since first taking office in 2010, President Santos has drawn on his considerable experience, both as an economist and as a former Finance and Foreign Trade Minister, to lead his country through a series of ambitious reforms and in advancing Colombia on the path to peace, prosperity and membership of the OECD. The Colombian people saw fit to reward his efforts in 2014 with a well-deserved re-election."
Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD, will host at the OECD Mr. Juan Manuel Santos, President of Colombia, on 7 November 2014.

In Colombia, 42% of 25-64 year-old attained at least upper secondary education, a much smaller proportion than the OECD average of 75%. Only China, Indonesia, Mexico, Portugal and Turkey have smaller proportions (varying from 22% in China to 38% in Portugal).

En Colombia, el 42% de la población de 25 a 64 años tiene como mínimo educación media superior; una proporción mucho menor que el promedio de la OCDE de 75%. Sólo China, Indonesia, México, Portugal y Turquía tienen porcentajes más bajos (que van del 22% en China al 38% en Portugal.
La Colombie abrite l'une des plus riches biodiversités de la planète, mais les industries extractives, le pâturage, l'urbanisation et la circulation automobile exercent des pressions croissantes sur ce patrimoine naturel, selon le premier Examen environnemental de la Colombie.
Ce rapport est le premier examen environnemental de la Colombie. Il évalue les progrès accomplis par la Colombie en termes de développement durable et de croissance verte, avec un accent particulier sur la gestion des produits chimiques et l'adaptation au changement climatique.

The drafters of the settlement urged - but didn't require - the states to use the cash toward activities that could help avoid "preventable foreclosures" and "ameliorate the effects of the foreclosure crisis."
Georgia received approximately $815 million - $700 million of which will pay for debt relief to distressed homeowners.
Gov. Nathan Deal and the General Assembly, however, decided to earmark the remaining $99 million or so for economic development programs. Kate Little of the Georgia State Trade Association of Nonprofit Developers recently pointed out in a column for the Saporta Report why dividing the money between the Regional Economic Business Assistance, or REBA, and the OneGeorgia Authority was a bad idea:
In announcing his plans for allocating the [settlement] funds, Gov. Deal said that the money would be better in supporting jobs to impact the economy, rather than addressing the foreclosure crisis.
However, since the metro area also has been recognized as the economic engine for the state, one could reasonably assume that some of the settlement dollars would make their way here and have an indirect impact on the number of foreclosures.
But then, one would be wrong. Both REBA and the OneGeorgia Authority will use the funds to attract jobs to rural Georgia. The metro Atlanta area will no benefit from this infusion of dollars into the state, even though the amount of funds the state received was calculated in part on the number of foreclosures in here.
According to its website, REBA can offer incentives to companies to close deals or finance company's "fixed-asset needs" such as "infrastructure, real estate acquisition, construction, or machinery and equipment."
Fast forward to Thursday, when Congressmen John Lewis, David Scott, and Hank Johnson, all of whom represent metro Atlanta districts that have been walloped by the mortgage crisis, sent a letter to Deal urging him to redirect that cash to programs that could prevent foreclosures. (We argued as much back in February.)
It reads, in part:
"It is our belief that the most appropriate use of resources to meet the description in the Consent Judgments would begin with housing counseling services and legal aid. We hope that every effort is made to fund such activities. Additionally, we request that any settlement resources released by your agencies directly assist those communities that were disproportionately affected by the servicers' misconduct. To that end, we also request information detailing the process for this money's allocation and information on every recipient. Using this money for any other purpose other than helping homeowners directly we believe violates the spirit, if not the letter, of the settlement agreement and misses an opportunity to address one of our state's most severe economic burdens."
"Funny they don't mention that $700 million of the settlement is going directly to homeowners," Deal spokesman Brian Robinson said in an email to CL when asked for comment. "I'm sure it was just an oversight. The rest is going to create jobs. They best way to halt Georgia foreclosures is to help those who've suffered in this economy to find work."
That's one way of looking at it. But it takes time to for companies to relocate, set up shop, and to start making widgets. Job creation doesn't happen overnight. Meanwhile, the aftershocks of the mortgage fiasco are still being felt. (We said the same in a reply to Robinson, along with asking if any of the $104 million would be earmarked for economic development projects in metro Atlanta. We will gladly update when we hear back.)
UPDATE, 3:27 p.m. Robinson adds via email:
Again, $700 million is going direct to homeowners facing foreclosure. And that's just ONE pot of money. There are other programs to protect homeowners, such as the Hardest Hit Fund and one that helps veterans returning home who've hit hard times. I'm sure there are others that I don't even know about.
The $99 million (it's not 104) will go into two funds, REBA and One Georgia. REBA will receive 60 percent, and One Georgia will receive 40 percent. REBA is geared toward metro counties that are already more developed. One Georgia is less flexible, in that it can only go toward rural, undeveloped counties. The foreclosure problem exists in every community in Georgia, not just in metro Atlanta.
It's absurd to suggest that because we're using $99 million to create jobs that leaves no money for people facing foreclosure. For the record, South Carolina is using its discretionary money for the exact same purpose. What are the fine congressmen going to say when we lose the next Caterpillar to South Carolina because it has millions more in closing money than we do? This pot of money is a game changer for our economic development needs.
Also mentioned in the letter: a second settlement between attorneys general and smaller banks is currently in the works. The congressmen "strongly encourage" Deal to use any direct payment that comes to Georgia as a result of that settlement for "foreclosure remediation" and "recovery activities."
