We stayed here a few years ago and I was just going to make another reservation because it was so nice! Will definitely stay here again. Very pleased with the price (unbeatable!) and the location.
Our check in was super easy and the people were quiet and friendly. The best part? It's right across the street from the greatest sushi restaurant in the world.

Egge Machine Company Recognized
The Classic Car Club of America presented Egge Machine Company the Inaugural MOTORING LEGACY AWARD for 2012!
Based on club member ballots, the CCCA bestows The Motoring Legacy Award to the company most dedicated to keeping great classic cars on the road by supplying parts, services, and great customer service.
"I was blown away," declared Ernie Silvers, when he received the news. "To be recognized for our high quality product, and top customer service in our effort to support the classic cars, is beyond words."
The award was presented to Robert Egge, owner and Ernie Silvers, CEO/President of Egge Machine Company at CCCA's 60th anniversary annual meeting, 'Denim and Diamonds' held in Dallas, Texas January 4-7, 2012.
"It certainly wasn't anticipated, but it was definitely cause for celebration when Egge Machine Company, Inc. was recently awarded the prestigious Classic Car Club of America 2012 Motoring Legacy Award," said Robert Egge, owner.
Being a small, family owned business, Egge Machine is very proud of its nearly 100 year heritage of serving the vintage vehicle industry. "It is not always easy competing against offshore suppliers, but we continue to manufacture our products here in the USA," stated Robert Egge. "Egge has been around since 1915, and we will continue to be the best automotive parts manufacturer and vintage parts supplier in existence."
Founded in 1915, Egge Machine Company is a family-owned, world-class piston manufacturer that specializes in domestic vehicle applications from the early 1900s to 1980. Egge operates a state-of-the-
The Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) is about vintage automobiles and the pleasure of the sport. Since its beginning in 1952, the Members of the CCCA have been dedicated to the collection, preservation and enjoyment of the world's finest cars. As in the beginning, automobiles manufactured during the Grand Classic Era® from 1919 to 1948 remain the primary focus of the club today. CCCA members have held Grand Classic car shows, enjoyed CARavans and published The Classic Car magazine plus other materials every year since the Club's founding.
The purposes for which the Club was founded are: for the development, publication and interchange of technical, historical and other information for and among members and other persons who own or are interested in fine or unusual foreign or domestic motorcars built between and including the years 1925 and 1948, but including cars built before 1925 that are virtually identical to 1925 Full Classics and distinguished for their representative fine design, high engineering standards and superior workmanship, and to promote social intercourse and fellowship among its members: and to maintain references upon and encourage the maintenance, restoration, and preservation of all such Classic cars.

When Ken Hoffman was asked what he'll cherish most about his 16- to 18-year-old Liberty Bell Youth Organization baseball team when the season wraps up soon, his answer had nothing to do with wins and losses.
The Bustleton Bengals 17-and-under baseball team last week captured the Department of Recreation championship with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over Roxborough's Houston Playground Hurricanes at Citizens Bank Park.
Ron Cohen will turn 71 in September, right in the midst of his 30th season as George Washington High School's head football coach. But ask the coaching legend about key milestones and whether self-reflection leads to thoughts about him calling it a career, and he'll tell you that much like the statistics compiled for his Eagles, these are just numbers.
Mark Zataveski is a fairly new figure around the Father Judge community. For some, the name might ring a bell; for others, he is simply recognized as one of the biggest men they have ever seen teaching or coaching at the school.
Nearly 20 years ago, Chris Gies came this close to being named the Opening Night starter for his beloved Phillies.
Put the gloves on Isaiah McAliley and you know you're looking at a boxer. You might not see it in the 11-year-old's slender 65-pound frame, but you can see it in his eyes. He looks back at you with a ferocious determination that has no mercy behind it.
When he was still a little-known assistant football coach at Northeastern University, Frank McArdle remembers the uneasy nervousness on one of his first recruiting trips to the Philadelphia area.
When the 2014-15 school year begins roughly two months from now, a familiar face in the Frankford High School athletics community will be absent. Luckily for the Pioneers, another well-known individual will be stepping in.
NEW YORK — During the hours that preceded Thursday night's 2014 NBA Draft, being a 76ers fan was a beautiful thing.
Surveying the packed Ramp Playground football field on Saturday morning, Tommy Coyle remembered a smile with one of his own.

Comments about Moisture Boost Cream - 2 oz:
I tried for years to find a moisturizer that did not irritate my skin and also performed well. This is the best and only moisturizer that I have been using for the last four years. It works great as a night and a daytime moisturizer. It is also great on the under eye area. I live in Canada, where winters are harsh on skin. It is worth the extra effort to buy online and pay import taxes in order to obtain this product. Please do not stop making this product. I will be lost without it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good Moisturizer
By Rene406
from Montana
About Me 25 Years Skin Care User, Beauty Conscious
I found this cream to be good but not quite as hydrating as I had hoped. It's def worth the money for dry skin, but if you have very dry skin, you might need to try the Clinical ultra moisturizer instead. I switched from makeup counter, really expensive skincare items to this line with no regret. I seriously love that none of the products I've tried so far are truly 100% frangrance free! I use this product at night after cleansing, toning, Vit C & anti-aging serum on my face and neck.

Caused new acne crops
By Emilem
from Boston, MA
About Me Beauty Conscious
I was very, very sad that this didn't work for me. I am new to PC products and tried doing a lot of research to choose something that would help my finicky skin. I have eczema (specifically on my forehead, mostly in response to shampoo), and other patches of dry skin around my eyes and mouth. My skin could be described as sensitive since some fragrances make me break out, but I also have a few papules (deep acne without pus) cropping up in my t-zone every now and again. I figured since this product is so deeply moisturizing, I could use it where I don't have acne and prevent eczema and dry spots. Unfortunately, over a week of light use (morning and night in small quantities), Moisture Boost Cream has simply caused numbers of those small white pimples to appear where I have never had acne before. There is an ingredient in here, petrolatum, which just feels like (is) vaseline, and it feels too greasy to truly hydrate my eczema-prone or normal skin. This does "fill" the pores, but to me, in no way that's desirable or smoothing, just like they're being filled with wax. This could possibly be a wonderful hand cream. Just not the right product for me. Excited to try other things instead, since the cleanser I purchased with this is amazing.
Service and delivery comments:
VERY prompt shipping, which I greatly appreciated
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice moisturizer
By Sairgz
from Chicago IL
I really like this moisturizer, it works really well. It does the job without feeling overly oily or greasy. absorbs pretty fast as well. I also like to use it on my hands when they get dry. works great!

About Me Beauty Conscious, Beauty Expert
I use this everyday on my whole face including under eyes . It's so smooth and absorbs well. What I love the most is how it moisturizers and smoothens the under eye area; this area is so tricky to me because many creams can moisturize the area but still highlight the fine lines, which this cream DOESN'T. It is very saddening to hear that this will be discontinued , it took me so long to find a cream that works this way for me. Even the Skin Recovery Hydrating Mask doesn't smoothen that area as well. PAULA, PLEASE KEEP THIS PRODUCT! From the reviews here I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Love Moisture Boost Cream
By pmath
from florida
I love Moisture Boost and have used it for several years. My skin has never looked better or felt better. I routinely get compliments on my skin. I was very saddened to learn that PC will be discontinuing MB and replacing it with the new 'Calm' line. I'm sure that I'll give 'Calm' a try but I would encourage PC to keep Moisture Boost as well. In any case, I am a true devotee of PC's products. I have used several and swear by the AHA exfoliators, retinol products and Moisture Boost. They have been an extremely powerful combination for my skin.
Perfect cream for my combination skin
By Kz
from Indianapoli , IN
This is my first time trying a night cream from PC. This cream works great on my skin. I use this for day and night. It glides on my face smoothly and absorbs fast. It doesn't leave any sticky feeling. However, I've only been using this for about a week. I haven't seen the long term effect. Definitely would recommend anyone with combination to dry skin to try this.

I can't believe I didn't find this sooner!
By AH
from VA
About Me Beauty Expert
I've tried almost all of Paula's products but I always opted for her "fancier" moitureizers. My skin was feeling dull this winter so I opted to try this stuff. OMG, I'm so mad I didn't try it sooner. My skin immeidatly looked plumper and more youthfull after applying this moisturizer. I know it didn't physically change my skin but it made it look so much healthier and more radient. I'm not usre how, I guess the thicker formula fills in my poors (sounds counter-intuitive) and left a youthful finish on my face. I now use it uner the Resist tinted moistureizer with SPF in the AM. Please PC, do not discontinue or reformulate this product!
By Dr. Wag
from Southern California
About Me Minimalist
After 3 years, I finally switched my skincare to PC's Moisture Boost and my skin is finally looking healthier again. My face is generally dry and I had an itchy dry scaly patch around my jaw line that got worse over time. I also live above 5000 ft above sea level where the air is dry and I work in a desert warm area. This Moisture Boost cream has finally got the dry patch under control! It's just that after 4-5 hours, my face gets dry again but I've fixed the problem by reapplying this cream around lunch time.

More on Howard Stern
There is no room for a left-wing Rush Limbaugh on the radio. "Do you think Karl Rove might have made a phone call to little General Powell, little Michael and said, 'Let's get this over with. Let's give him the fine and get this done with before Stern gets us all voted out of office,'" the National Enquirer's Mike Walker asked Stern. "First of all, I know that for a fact," Stern answered. "I can't even tell you how, just like you can't reveal your sources. I have two sources inside the FCC. They know exactly what is going on. They had a meeting two weeks ago, freaking out. I seem to be making enough noise that people are realizing we could hurt George W. Bush in the elections. So they are trying to figure out at what point do they fine me. So, you are absolutely right."

Aug 7, 2012Certainly more light-hearted than one of my faves Happiness, Dark Horse is an excellent film. The lead actor is terrific, Selma Blair is great (as usual), but Donna Murphy absolutely steals the show.
Reality and fantasy become increasingly blurred. And if you want to enjoy Dark Horse, you're just going to have to go with it.
There's a streak of compassion in Dark Horse, a sincere empathy for a thoroughly detestable man, that is as surprising as anything in Solondz's earlier, more transgressive work.
Seizing the role, and the screen, Gelber actually makes us care what happens to his surly, thoroughly unlikable character.

Fighting Words
"We certainly can't outspend them. But even though they're stocking up, I'm not afraid of them."--Brewers manager Ned Yost on the Cubs.Ouch.
Bulletin Board material in
Bulletin Board material in November, awesome.
That said, if I'm Yost, and some "reporter" asks me if I'm afraid of the Cubs, that's what I have to say. And more over, I'd believe it 100%.
Lots of other interesting nuggest in that article....
And by "interesting nuggets"
And by "interesting nuggets" I basically mean, "where did Phil Rogers learn to write?"
"In left field, where Scott Podsednik had a better year as a hitter than he did during the World Series season, but not as good as a runner or a fielder, the Sox finished with a .280 average, four homers and 57 RBIs."
Or, "Where did Phil Rogers learn to think?"
Despite controversy, Morneau was an excellent choice as the AL's Most Valuable Player.
No. The reason why there's controversy is because everyone who is not a baseball writer agrees that the baseball writers picked the wrong person.

Well everyone but Mike C. :)
Yeah, can't really expect Yost to say anything else, still find it funny that there's trash talking in November. Also Yost must not know (or care) of Piniella's pension to throw at opposing teams hitters.
I missed that thread (and
I missed that thread (and about two months' worth of other threads, sadly.) I nominate Mike C to take Phil Rogers' job, then.
What is this about Piniella's penchant for throwing at people?
when Derek Zumsteg answered some questions about Piniella he said he use to have a "Designated plunker" and I've read it on other sites that he's not afraid to throw at guys. There was that Drays/RSox plunk fest a few years back.
And yeah we've had quite the MVP discussion the last few weeks. Amazingly moreso over the AL Mvp than the NL Mvp which was just as ridiculous.
"Amazingly moreso over the
"Amazingly moreso over the AL Mvp than the NL Mvp which was just as ridiculous."
Dude, don't you know, chicks and sports writers dig the long ball.
AH yeah, the Rays/Sox
AH yeah, the Rays/Sox fights, that was a fun little feud, totally forgot about Piniella's involvement.
I won't dredge up old arguments, then, more than I already (accidentally) have.
Phil Rodgers really edited
Phil Rodgers really edited the Ned Yost quote to take it out of context and make it worse than it was. It actually was more about the Brewers and somewhat complimentary of the Cubs. They'll need a bigger bulletin board.
I found this in the Boston.com site:
While manager Ned Yost said it was difficult to ignore the spending, he added. "We certainly can't outspend them. But even though they're stocking up, I'm not afraid of them. We'll just have to put the best defensive club we can on the field and pitch to them. Good pitching still stifles good hitting. They've definitely added power to their lineup and the ability to score runs. We just need to shore up our defense and be a better base-running and bunting club, play situational baseball a little better, and capitalize on our scoring opportunities."
I am shocked, SHOCKED to
I am shocked, SHOCKED to learn that Phil Rogers distorted information to fit his purpose.
"Good pitching still stifles
"Good pitching still stifles good hitting."
Well Ned, one of your better pitchers just got traded. The Brewers don't have the best pitching anyway. He's talking like he just won the division the past 5 years.
Doug Davis? meh.

And Chad. :)
Brewers supposedly have some
Brewers supposedly have some cash to spend this offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw a little cash at one of those mid-tier pitchers to replace Davis. Estrada/Miller is one nice cathcing combo. Plus I think Dave Bush is going to be really good, really soon. Much like Prior/Wood if Sheets is healthy, I think there rotation is pretty solid.
They could use another power bat in there somewhere though. And Weeks and Hardy staying healthy wouldn't hurt either.
Trans- Doug Davis may be
Doug Davis may be "meh," but I'd take him as my 4th starter every day of the week.
The last 3 years, he's consistently thrown 200+ innings, and is a .500 pitcher for a young, rebuilding team. His ERA took off last year, mostly due to an increase in walks. His era's of 3.39, 3.84. 4.91 are pretty solid.
He's what I hope Sean Marshall will become....hopefully a little better..lol.
"He's talking like he just

What other sites do people go to in the off-season, to get their baseball fix?
I must be the only person
I must be the only person who isn't awe-struck by Ben Sheets. When healthy, he's very good, but he *doesn't* stay healthy and it also seems like the league has figured him out. He also has yet to finish a season strong...or even lukewarm. I think he's good, but he's not the upper-echelon pitcher that a lot of Brewers fans seem to think he is.
www.thehardballtimes.com is
www.thehardballtimes.com is where I read, other than here and ESPN (only because they have news...) It's a little bit stat-heavy, but interesting. I also enjoy doing the Sporting News Strat-O-Matic when I have time... gets me through the cold months. That, and I'll re-read the Bill James Historical Abstract again!
"four or five ballclubs were
"four or five ballclubs were in the same ballpark. We didn't outbid anyone."
now that's a pile of crap. =p
yeah, soriano might have found a similar deal, but not THAT deal.
that's soriano's demands being met outright...not much actual negotiation i'd imagine...aside from how the $$/years is broken down.
next week figures should be released.
I don't understand that
I don't understand that comment that Hendry made. Of course the Cubs outbid other teams. Otherwise, why would Soriano have agreed to sign with the Cubs. I'm sure the Angels and Phillies (and maybe others) were in the running, but considering the outcome, they must not have offered as much as the Cubs.
This is really a minor point, but I don't understand why Cubs management always seems to deny the obvious. There's really no upside for Hendry to say something like this. It just sounds like he's getting defensive for no reason. I would have rather he said, "You're damn right we outbid everyone. We're serious about winning."
also a fan of
also a fan of thehardballtimes, although I find myself having to skim through about half of the articles, for being too stat-heavy. love both their historical articles and their current event analysis.
The league has figured out
The league has figured out Ben Sheets? Wow, someone better send that message out to the rest of the league STAT! Because they are clearly unaware that anyone has figure out how to beat him on a daily basis.
And yet to finish out a season strong ever? Are you just making up this stuff as you go along? Last 3 years 3.18 ERA, .245 BAA before the All-star break, 3.08 ERA, .227 BAA after the All-star break. And lets ignore his September ERA of 2.21. Clearly you don't know much if anything about Ben Sheets.
A NYT article on Soriano.
A NYT article on Soriano. Well done, but won't tell you anything that ou don't already know...
Crunch- Here is the whole
Here is the whole quote with question-
How does it feel to be able to outbid other teams?
"There were four or five clubs -- no matter what people say now -- who were in the same ballpark. We didn't outbid anyone. It didn't matter how much money we have. If the player didn't think this was the right place to go, then we wouldn't have him."
ah...well that makes a lot
ah...well that makes a lot more sense. well, it doesnt really matter cuz its PR bullcrap anyway after the fact. but yeah, that seems a bit more straight-forward with reality on that full quote. thnx.
so when the sox and cubs go
so when the sox and cubs go at it next year, who do you think the designated plunker will be for the North? with this same question being of course moot for the South (the answer is: everybody). we should have an over/under for how many pitches it takes for lou/oz to retalliate after the 1st hit batter. (and maybe a pool for who it is that oz berates for refusing to plunk somebody, hahaha)
I guess it makes a little
I guess it makes a little more sense, but it still seems like Hendry is being disingenuous. No matter what he says, the Cubs did outbid other teams. True, Soriano had to be sold on the Cubs, but if they wouldn't have offered enough money/years, the deal wouldn't have been done.
It seems that Hendry is either defensive, apologetic or both. I know he's not used to signing a high profile FA, but he should be a little more positive about it instead of acting like he did something wrong.
Well, Mike C, maybe, just
Well, Mike C, maybe, just maybe, the fact that his ERA and WHIP, while still good, have increased each year over the last few years, or maybe it's his increased HR rate, or maybe it's the decrease in his K/9 IP (last year aside, where he barely pitched 100 innings) would all be reasons to think that the league is starting to figure him out. Maybe the fact that he's a sub-.500 pitcher would be another reason to think that he's not an upper-echelon pitcher (which, if you read my post, brother, you'd see is what I said about him).
As for him not finishing strong, I'm gonna stand by that. Maybe it's *you* who doesn't know anything about Sheets. Or maybe you were just in a bad mood and wanted to start an argument on the internet...I mainly just read the posts around here, and I've seen you do it plenty of times. Not sure. Either way, I love how you're going to neglect to mention a career ERA of 4.83 in August, which, last time I checked, is "down the stretch." He also has given up the most hits and has the highest ERA of his year in the month of August, so it would appear that it's not some anomaly, but that he really doesn't pitch as well "down the stretch," and henceforth, doesn't "finish the year too strong."
While it's been a pleasure wasting my time arguing with you and checking out stats just to prove I'm right, I really get no gratification from it. The fact that a few years ago, Sheets seemed like one of the more dominant pitchers in the league, and has yet to come close to that domination again and is not an ace along the lines of Carpenter, Zambrano, or Oswalt is pretty apparent. Have a nice life, brother.
Who are these 'Brewers?'

Bada-Boom! But seriously
But seriously folks, has anyone figured out he breakdown of Soriano's contract? I read in one of these threads earlier that the base contract was 6/$90M, with options and bonuses accounting for the additional 2 yrs and $46M. Confirmation would make me feel a whole lot better.
So glad to see Houston drop big on a big (and I dont mean that in a good way) guy. Looks more like Rocket will wind up back with the Sox.
i dont believe anyone has a
i dont believe anyone has a real idea of what his contract is.
it was assumed for about 3 days, until the actual contract was signed, that f.thomas was gonna sign a 2/22-23m deal, not the 2/18m he ended up signing.
it seems as though no one seems to even want to swat down any rumor that its not a 8yr/130-136m deal, though and there's been enough high-end cubs brass and soriano in front of mics since it was announced.

#32: It seems that Hendry is
#32: It seems that Hendry is either defensive, apologetic or both.
I think Hendry (and McDonough) would love everyone to believe that the Cubs offered just the same money as all the other clubs, and that Soriano chose the Cubs because of the fans, the ivy, the wonderful, wonderful history of this wonderful, wonderful franchise, home to...you get the drift.
But nobody's buying that, so I think what Hendry really should've said is that the Cubs didn't outbid anybody by a wide margin. That's probably more accurate, and it accomplishes Hendry's likely aim of trying to make the Cubs appear more like a thoughtful, wealthy franchise and less like desperate savior-seekers.
I was in the Milwaukee area this weekend, and I read some columnist up there tagging the Cubs as the flagship insane-market-setters this year, and explaining to his readers that desperate teams do desperate things. Probably not the spin on the Soriano transaction that Hendry wants (not that he cares about the opinions of columnists from points north, but still).
(On another topic, I also learned that before the Estrada trade, the Brewers considered themselves suitors of both Dave Roberts and Juan Pierre. The former was evidently more responsive to their overtures than the latter.)

Wolf isnt that great. Out of the mid-tier FA SP I would take Igawa, Weaver, or even Maddux before him. The blurb on Rotoworld is suggesting that they could sign Schimdt and trade Penny for a OF bat. Given how much there pen is in shambles I wonder if they would take a JJ,Howry, Guzman for Penny deal?
I just read an article in
I just read an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel sports section where the writer bitches and complains about how Carlos Lee turned down Milwaukee's 12 mil/year offer last year and ended up signing with Houston, playing the woe-is-us, why won't the owners spend money AND why won't the selfish bastard players sign to play here cards at once.
Several lessons here.
1) Houston has Berkman and a couple of other decent players. Milwaukee has...uhhhh.
2) Houston has been to the World Series in this century.
3) Hey, Milwaukeeans--FILL UP YOUR STADIUM BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT OWNERSHIP NOT SPENDING MONEY.
4) Hey, Chicagoans, if you think boycotting Wrigley will result in a better team--look north and despair.

You're right, Sheets is very Cub-like. When he's healthy he's downright dominant, but he has trouble staying healthy.
Hey, OT- but I was thinking, if this Daisuke character turns out to be good (which I'm still skeptical about), Boston could have one hell of a rotation. I believe Papelbon is moving to the rotation, so their final rotation would be, in no particular order:
Shilling, Matsuzaka, Beckett, Papelbon, Wakefield, Clement (when Beckett goes to DL) Geesh.
who's dealing starters
who's dealing starters anyway...aside from the wsox?
heard mets in the past but all they got is 87 year old o.hernandez, a banged up v.zambrano, a sketchy ol.perez, and a slew of kids supporting an expensive set of bats and a 10million closer.
seems the wsox dangling some of their extra starting is creating a situation where wsox sit back and wait rather than trying to be competitive.
zito/schmidt/lilly/padilla....one of those guys needs to fall to someone soon. set some kinda market. the bats have already set one hell of a weird market.
what about the Igawa? i read
what about the Igawa? i read here and there that the Cubs or Mets are likely to get him. but is he a better ML starter than who is currently among our ranks?
(prior/miller/hill//cotts etc)
I love how you're going to
I love how you're going to neglect to mention a career ERA of 4.83 in August, which, last time I checked, is "down the stretch."
Can we include July and June also? Where does this "stretch" start and begin? I am pretty sure people consider September as the down the stretch part. Down the stretch in track and field means the final straight away, or in baseball the final month in a long season. But since we are wanting to make up facts, what did you say? Wait let me go check....
He also has yet to finish a season strong...or even lukewarm.
Maybe you were thinking of Chris Carpenter instead of Sheets who has posted a 4.10 ERA in September over the last 3 years. He would be the one who isn't finishing strong while Sheets posting an era a near full 2 runs lower (2.21 ERA)during those same months in the same division. It is easy to get confused when you making it up as you go along.
But if we use your definition of "down the stretch" over the last 3 years Carpenter posts a 3.26 ERA in August and September, and Sheets posts a 3.33 ERA. The only difference is, and pay attention now, one of them "finishes" strong and the other doesn't.
But by all means lets ignore the pitcher who posted a 10 to 1 strike out ratio. A clear sign the league has figured him out. Much less lets ignore that K/BB ratio over the last 3 years at over 9. Another clear sign the league is figuring him out. In fact his last 3 years are above and beyond anything he did the previous 3 years.
So your trying to tell the people at TCR the league has figure him out from being a pitcher who posts barely a 3 to 1 K/BB ratio, and then goes to a 9 to 1 ratio? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't he have started out as 9 to 1 ratio and now be sitting at 3 to 1 if the league was truly figuring him out? I am not good at math but I think so.
Maybe you just latched onto the fact that the Opponents BAA is a sure sign as the league is figuring him out. It has gone up the last 3 years but he stills sports extremly good numbers across the board. Any of which a pitcher would die to have. If your pitcher over the last 3 years is only allowing hitters to get on base at a .270ish clip, he is pretty much one of the elite pitchers in the league. That includes OPS of hitters of anything below .700. Which Sheets does as well.
Carpenter (.270 OBP), Santana (.250 OBP over the last 3 years!), Oswalt (.300), Halladay (.280), Webb (over .300), Zambrano (.300)
While OBP and BAA varies from pitcher to pitcher one thing is common across the board they keep OPS of hitters to .700 or below. The best of the best do atleast and all of these pitchers are right at .700 or below it for the most part.
But when you used wins to justify your argument you lost any and all credibility. You act like you know what your talking about, but you haven't got 1 single clue. You made a stupid comment about Sheets not finishing strong and then you changed it to "down the stretch" so you could add August. And like I showed you if we include your definition it makes your point meaningless because anyone putting up a 3.33 ERA during the last 2 months of the season is pretty good for any pitcher.
But one thing Sheets does is finish out the season strong. Which makes your point flat out false. That is what I arguing, that Is what I showed, and you are wrong. Thanks for playing, have a nice day.
from the article about Randy Wolf, it speculates about Maddux wanting more money than last year and 2 years. Um, nevermind.
Floyd announcement on Friday I assume would be to make sure Mets don't offer arbitration. 1 yr/$3 mil (IF TRUE) for Floyd as a bench bat would be pretty good.
this is a couple days old and my apologies if I'm repeating..
Sources said the Cubs' interest in shortstop Julio Lugo, another Piniella favorite, is lukewarm. But they already have received word from Lugo that he would agree to play center field if he came to Chicago, with the possibility of moving back to short when top prospect Felix Pie is ready to play in center.
hmmm, interesting.
Opps minor correction.
Opps minor correction. Sheets K/BB over the last 3 isn't 9 to 1. I was looking at K/9.
So fuzzy math guess.....7.00ish? Still pretty damn good.
I just don't like the idea
I just don't like the idea of two OFers learning a brand new position heading into next year. Which is what we would have if we brought in Lugo for CF and Soriano playing RF.
I like Lugo's bat but if we brought him in I would just like to hand him SS right away. I always get the feeling Lugo isn't the greatest defensively by some of the comments on TCR about him. Never watched him much on D so can't say.
Do you take outstanding defense and a poor bat hitting #8 in Izturis? Or do you take a much better bat (capable of hitting #2), and a down grade on defense?
Adding Soriano complicates that question. Without Soriano, I say get Lugo, play him at SS or CF bat him #1 or #2. With Soriano, I might lean to a more defensive oriented SS like Izturis as long as he hits no higher than 8th. But putting Lugo in CF suddenly puts the cross hairs on Murton losing time to Jones, which I am totally against.
I would imagine bringing in
I would imagine bringing in Lugo is contingent on trading Jones or Murton.
Mike C: "Thanks for
Mike C: "Thanks for playing?" Is it just me, or did you become even more obnoxious than before? Most people would consider "the stretch run" to begin in August and end as the season ends. Henceforth, computing his "post-All Star break" numbers that occur in the middle of July would be invalid to the point that I successfully made, i.e., he's not the dominant pitcher that some people, such as yourself, dubbed him a few years ago. He's done well in September, but his poor performance in August still shows that he is not dominant down the stretch. But hell, just to show you you are wrong again, I'll post a number, and lets see how "dominant" or "strong" of a finish it is: 4.20. That's not dominant, especially for the NL. It's also not a particularly great finish to a year. It is, however, Sheets' career ERA from August until the end of October. Please, wise one, tell me how 4.2 is finishing the year strong...Wins aren't valid? How are wins not valid? Please, Mike C., convince me and everyone else how wins and ERA, perhaps the two most important statistics for any starting pitcher, are invalid in assessing a pitcher's level of performance? Bottom line is that he not only has a career losing record, but also has a 3.83 ERA, which, in the NL, is far from "dominant."
I see that you simply like to look at Sheets' periphorals, which also show decline, KBBR aside. But, looking at the fact that his hits/9 IP has gone up, while his BB/9 has gone down (that one, since you may not know it, is actually a good thing) would show why he has such a good KBBR. Since you still probably don't get it, I'll spell it out for you: He's not walking people. Plenty of pitchers have good KBBR's by not walking people. Carlos Silva only walked 9 batters in 2005, while striking out 71, giving him a KBBR of roughly 7.9. That's a damn impressive number. The fact that he gave up far more hits than innings pitched, however, pretty much nullifies such a low BB/9 IP rate, doesn't it?
The point is that with a game like baseball, you can look at any number of periphorals and spin them however you want, which is what you're trying to do. For example, Sheets had decent numbers this year "down the stretch," but the "stretch" for him was about 80 innings into the season. Most pitchers are feeling pretty damn strong at that point. Of course, you choose to skew the numbers in your favor.
Looking at his career numbers, we see that Sheets is:
1) an owner of a sub-.500 record
2) an owner of a less-than-stellar ERA
Therefore, you are the one who is showing that he doesn't know what he's talking about. But I'm sure you're going to post another rebuttal just to read your own words. Pompous windbag...

soriano - 17

aram - 15
that's gonna be 4 guys making appx. 60m from 08-10, minimum (aram signed through 2011).
unless soriano gets really weird with how his contract pay, especially in 08-10, and/or Z does the same...the payroll could be an issue more than we think in those years...especially if any of those 4 pick up an injury.
Anyone know what Carpenters
Anyone know what Carpenters obp against and his ERA was in this years world series?
Tribune: Sources said the
Sources said the Cubs' interest in shortstop Julio Lugo, another Piniella favorite, is lukewarm. But they already have received word from Lugo that he would agree to play center field if he came to Chicago, with the possibility of moving back to short when top prospect Felix Pie is ready to play in center.
Rob G.:
hmmm, interesting.
If I know Hendry, there's no way in hell the Cubs acquire any more right-handed batters.

If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.

How to Disagree. March 2008 The web is turning writing into a conversation.
Twenty years ago, writers wrote and readers read. The web lets readers respond, and increasingly they do—in comment threads, on forums, and in their own blog posts. Many who respond to something disagree with it. That's to be expected. The result is there's a lot more disagreeing going on, especially measured by the word. If we're all going to be disagreeing more, we should be careful to do it well. DH0. This is the lowest form of disagreement, and probably also the most common. Logic. Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logike)[1] is the branch of philosophy concerned with the use and study of valid reasoning.[2][3] The study of logic also features prominently in mathematics and computer science.
Logic is often divided into three parts: inductive reasoning, abductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning. List of fallacies. Formal fallacy. In philosophy, a formal fallacy is a pattern of reasoning that is always wrong.
This is due to a flaw in the logical structure of the argument which renders the argument invalid. A formal fallacy is contrasted with an informal fallacy, which may have a valid logical form and yet be unsound because one or more premises are false. The term fallacy is often used generally to mean an argument that is problematic for any reason, whether it is formal or informal. The presence of a formal fallacy in a deductive argument does not imply anything about the argument's premises or its conclusion. Both may actually be true, or even more probable as a result of the argument, but the deductive argument is still invalid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises in the manner described. "Fallacious arguments usually have the deceptive appearance of being good arguments A different approach to understanding and classifying fallacies is provided by argumentation theory.
Common examples[edit] Informal logic. Informal logic is associated with (informal) fallacies, critical thinking, the Thinking Skills Movement[6] and the interdisciplinary inquiry known as argumentation theory.
Frans H. van Eemeren writes that the label "informal logic" covers a "collection of normative approaches to the study of reasoning in ordinary language that remain closer to the practice of argumentation than formal logic. "[7] History[edit] The field perhaps became recognized under its current name with the First International Symposium on Informal Logic held in 1978.
Bias. Bias is an inclination of temperament or outlook to present or hold a partial perspective, often accompanied by a refusal to consider the possible merits of alternative points of view.
People may be biased toward or against an individual, a race, a religion, a social class, a political party, or a species.[1] Biased means one-sided, lacking a neutral viewpoint, not having an open mind. Bias can come in many forms and is often considered to be synonymous with prejudice or bigotry.[2] Media bias is the bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media, in the selection of which events and stories are reported and how they are covered.
Cognitive bias. Some cognitive biases are presumably adaptive.
Cognitive biases may lead to more effective actions in a given context.[7] Furthermore, cognitive biases enable faster decisions when timeliness is more valuable than accuracy, as illustrated in heuristics.[8] Other cognitive biases are a "by-product" of human processing limitations,[9] resulting from a lack of appropriate mental mechanisms (bounded rationality), or simply from a limited capacity for information processing.[10] A continually evolving list of cognitive biases has been identified over the last six decades of research on human judgment and decision-making in cognitive science, social psychology, and behavioral economics. Cognitive biases are important to study because "systematic errors" highlight the "psychological processes that underlie perception and judgement" (Tversky & Kahneman,1999, p. 582). Overview[edit] Bias arises from various processes that are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Types[edit]
List of cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment, and are often studied in psychology and behavioral economics. There are also controversies as to whether some of these biases count as useless, irrational or whether they result in useful attitudes or behavior. For example, when getting to know others, people tend to ask leading questions which seem biased towards confirming their assumptions about the person. This kind of confirmation bias has been argued to be an example of social skill: a way to establish a connection with the other person.[7] The research on these biases overwhelmingly involves human subjects. However, some of the findings have appeared in non-human animals as well.
Decision-making, belief, and behavioral biases[edit] Many of these biases affect belief formation, business and economic decisions, and human behavior in general.

What's your New Year's resolution? To save more money for myself. To actually set aside money from every paycheck. Last year's resolution was to stick to my regular budget, which I actually managed to do about 75 percent of the time.
What's the worst thing you did this year? I went to Cancún and people there said, "What are you doing here? You're 38!" It was bad in the naughty sense, not the immoral sense. I had a blast, and if I'd stayed longer than five days, I never would have come back.
What's the nicest thing? Ditto, Cancún. I did a nice thing for myself.

What's the worst thing you did this year? I fell in love.
What's the nicest thing? I called my dad for the first time in a year and a half. It was prompted by my drinking three pints of Guinness, but he was very receptive. He's been e-mailing my brother and me, and it's restored some closeness to the family.

What's the worst thing you did this year? I beat my daughter. She has too much lip. I can't take that attitude. When I was growing up, you couldn't speak to your parents that way. It just didn't happen.
What's the nicest thing? I went to my niece's school to speak to the principal. My niece felt she needed help. I felt good doing a little mothering for her. I've got my niece's report card in my purse. She's doing very well now.

What's the worst thing you did this year? That's between me and God. You can check with my priest, but confession is sacrosanct. I'll just say that it would be way too deep for Santa.
What's the nicest thing? I feel the most open and generous when I worship, but I don't like to catalog my deeds. I prefer to just let them flow.

Trading Idea: What to Expect as BB&T Breaks Resistance
Published on Thursday, 03 January 2013 07:24 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 3rd (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) closed the session at $30.07 just above calculated resistance at $29.77. The stock effectively broke out and grasped the attention of momentum traders, which could eventually push the stock to a different trading range.
BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) operates banking locations in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Washington D.C., Florida and Tennessee. The Company offers full-service commercial and retail banking, as well as insurance, retail brokerage, corporate finance, and international banking.
The stock was trading in a well defined range with support at $26.86 and resistance at $29.77. Given that this range was broken, traders will be closely monitoring BB&T's price action to gather clues on the future direction.
From a technical perspective, it can be expected that previous resistance becomes support, as the new range gets defined. However, given that BB&T is still near the broken resistance level, traders will be focusing on the $29.77 level to see if the stock holds the breakout without rolling over.

At the end of the Lord of the Rings, Galadriel hops on a boat and sails away into the West. But wasn't she banned after the kerfuffle caused by Uncle Fëanor?
All was forgiven after the War of Wrath and the Noldor were allowed to return. Actually, all the Elves were strongly urged to return, but some chose to stay in Middle Earth. For them, The Straight Path to Valinor was still available for when they chose to leave.
This is explained in the final page of "Akallabêth" in The Silmarillion.
By refusing the One Ring when Frodo offers it to her, and accepting that her own powers will fade, Galadriel proved herself worthy to return to the Undying Lands.
This is not outright stated, but suggested strongly by Galadriel's own words at that time:
Tolkien says this in his Letter #320:
However, note that the history of Galadriel underwent several revisions in Tolkien's writings; in some of them (but not the one the Silmarillion is based on), Galadriel is entirely innocent of the Kinslaying and goes to Middle-Earth independant of Feanor and the rest of the Noldor; in those versions she did not need an explicit pardon, but stayed in Middle-Earth because she loved Lothlorien too much to leave.
This answer is based on Tolkien more than his fictional characters, but presents the point that in permitting Galadriel to return to the Undying Lands (his construct of Heaven/Paradise) he was sending a message to his readers, a message of forgiveness and redemption.
Per the citations above, this was Tolkien doing what he said he didn't like doing in his infamous commentary on Allegory versus Applicability. He was either being allegorical, or was very bluntly moralizing as a result of being a life long and devoted Roman Catholic.
Galadriel is presented as a sinner who has shown that she "rejects the lies of Satan." ( baptismal promise, Catholic dogma 101). The forgiveness and redemption of Galadriel is a piece of Christian wish fulfillment. Her sin (along with the other rebellious Noldor) of "turning their backs on the Valar" and by extension Eru the One, Illuvitar, is forgiven in a redemptive act by the active rejection Sauron (Satan/Evil/Liar). Power for its own sake, which the Ring symbolized, was for Tolkien a great evil.
The Noldor "fell" when they left the undying lands. JRR Tolkien couldn't help himself. Given his outlook on life, his own fantasy was woven into the fantasy conflict resolution of his magnum opus. Forgiveness and Redemption had to come through, in the last, since that was his hope informed by his lifelong faith.
It wasn't until I understood JRR Tolkien as a lifelong and devout Catholic that I began to see some of the messages he sent in this story, which I've read over a dozen times. He wasn't very subtle.
The answer appears in Tolkien's The Road Goes Ever On
So while a lot of posthumously published material exists about Galadriel, this is the explanation that Tolkien himself chose to reveal to readers, published in 1967.
Her ban was lifted after she refused the ring, before that she was banned by the Valar for her part in the rebellion, but she actually never took part in the kinslaying, it was just her wish for a own realm to rule that she had to overcome in order to return to Valinor.
Pretty much wut Steffi said,
but to elaborate; Galadriel longed for followers and power, through her wisdom and countless years on middle earth gazing into her mirror, which i believe was somehow entwined with either the simarils or trees of valinor..she deduced that the one ring would only destroy, and she would inevitably come to dominion over nothing. But uhhh yea...Galadriel was extraordinary in power and awe...she was actually Sauron's nemesis and in his discord, he failed to see her.
overall, the story is incredibly epic and after reading numerous essays on the material, i have come to realize the 2 most important parts of the book are when Galadriel refuses the ring and when Frodo commands with the one ring that if Gollum..(and i say gollum cause Smeagol loves his master) lay hands on him he will himself be cast into the fire...the latter actually uses the commanding power of the ring with outright burning authority to inconceivably force the ring to destroy itself...and with Galadriel..the sheer power that was present from her outstretched hand with the adamant upon it, against and yet with the one ring is a staggering revelation..as she would have been a far more detrimental force then Sauron himself. She whom was in direct assent from the crafter of the rings as well as the simarils..with such high desire for worshippers. she would not of slain Sauron but used him as a tool and forced him to his knees as with all of Middle Earth untill she had the Will and the might to breach Valinor itself..which btw valinor has 2 Palantir an easy and convenient means to fray the fabric. As of Melkor she would of released him and made him a puppet and then caused the great war that would have been Tolkiens masterpiece....i feel actually with all his rewrites of Galadriel that he was actually prolly distraught at how rushed he was to get the material published as he hadto retcon to his his endgame..which ...i feel would of been Galadriel taking the ring and convalescing with a confrontation with Eru.

CHICAGO -- Eight points. Four rebounds. Five fouls. Seven turnovers.
Shaquille O'Neal couldn't believe it, either.
"I'm very, very humiliated," O'Neal said after practice on Friday.
With O'Neal enduring one of his worst playoff games, the Chicago Bulls beat Miami 109-90 on Thursday and cut the Heat's lead to 2-1 in this first-round series. And the Bulls now have a chance to tie it on Sunday afternoon.
"(The players) didn't like last night," Miami coach Pat Riley said. "It was embarrassing. But that's what you deal with. Once you understand what happened, you've got to get on with making those improvements."
What happened on Thursday was as obvious as a Shaq dunk -- and the big man had only one in Game 3.
He fell into early foul trouble, spent most of the second quarter on the sideline. Even when he was in the game, O'Neal was a non-factor.
He had just one basket in the first three quarters, scored six meaningless points in the fourth, and barely avoided his career playoff scoring low. O'Neal had seven against Houston two years ago.
The Bulls drove right at O'Neal. On defense, the perimeter players collapsed on him, and they did a better job closing out on their man when O'Neal passed out of the double team.
It added up to 46 free throw attempts for the Bulls and a rough shooting night for the Heat, who were 30-of-72 from the field after hitting half their shots in Games 1 and 2.
"They outplayed us in every category across the boards," Riley said. "Even as well as they played, we had a chance when it was 59-56 if we could have focused for six or seven minutes."
But after Antoine Walker's 3-pointer made it a three-point game in the third quarter, Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon responded with back-to-back 3s. And that squashed the Heat.
Then, things got ugly.
Miami's James Posey was called for a flagrant foul two and ejected with 3:15 left in the game after knocking down Kirk Hinrich on a break. On Friday, the NBA suspended Posey for one game without pay. Six seconds after Posey's ejection, Walker and Udonis Haslem got called for technicals.
Riley shot down the notion that his team loses its cool, calling what happened "an aberration." He also said he doesn't expect Posey to be suspended.
But Bulls coach Scott Skiles indicated he should be.
"I thought it was a play that could seriously injure somebody -- separate Kirk's shoulder, or something like that," Skiles said.
"Now, Kirk didn't get hurt at all and jumped right back up. Sometimes (when) a player lays on the ground and flails around a little bit it seems like the penalties tend to be little bit harsher. Kirk did what I would have done -- I would have jumped right back up, too."
Hinrich said the foul "wasn't that big of a deal."
But when asked if Posey deserves a suspension, he responded: "It was obvious he wasn't trying to make a play on the ball or anything like that. I'm not saying he's a dirty player."
A bigger issue for the Heat than Posey's possible absence is getting O'Neal back in rhythm.
"You have to get touches to get rhythm," said O'Neal, who averaged 24.5 points and 11.5 rebounds the first two games.
And he has to stay on the court to get those touches.
O'Neal said referees target him and he knew he was in trouble when he saw Bob Delaney was working Game 3.
Early foul trouble has been a season-long issue for O'Neal, and the 3.9 he committed per game was his highest average since his rookie year. O'Neal picked up his third foul about three minutes into the second quarter and spent the rest of the half on the sideline.
"He's got to be out there on the floor, consistently," Riley said. "Every time he's not, it takes him out of his rhythm. He's got to be more diligent -- and we've got to be more diligent -- as to the kind of fouls he takes."
And while O'Neal was at a loss to explain the foul problems, Riley spread the blame.
"We have to guard the ball a lot better," Riley said. "And he's got to go to the rim a little more with his blocks."

The hotel is located on the Aurelia road, about 15 minutes far from Orbetello by car.
The building is quite old and not well maintained, the rooms are just acceptable and the cleaning is not the best.
A big dog is inside the restaurant.
I chose this hotel because the price was lower than the average of the area (very expensive).
However I would not recommend it. More

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.
