After a web search for my symptoms, I concluded I have a problem with my soleus muscle. The combined effect of some BIG training weeks and busy days at work were just too much for my lower leg. Here's an exact description of my symptoms from the podiatry channel.com:
The term shin-splints is often incorrectly used to describe any pain in the leg between the knee and the ankle. The lower leg consists of three compartments, and which muscles are injured and causing the pain determines the proper treatment.
Shin-splints occur a few inches below the knee on the medial (inner) side of the leg. The pain is located in the posterior tibial muscle/tendon. This muscle starts below the knee on the tibia, wraps around the inside of the ankle, and attaches to the underside of the foot. This route causes a pulley-like action that generates considerable force at either end. If a person runs too much, or if the feet are not working correctly, the muscle can become overstretched and pull excessively at the point where it attaches to the tibia.
Here's why: last Tuesday I ran for 1:45 and then worked a busy tower all day running up and down the beach chasing people out of dangerous water. I think the combination of big running weeks and working busy towers now that I'm a "Veteran Guard" strains my legs a lot. Sometimes I wish I had a cushy desk job, but I'm sure I'd be bored to TEARS. I think my soleus is the culprit, strained by a partially flattened right arch and standing/running in flip-flops:
As for the "Veteran Guard" thing, it's nice that my supervisors think I'm competent enough that they sandwich me between two Rookie Guards, but it's scary at the same time since I'm still learning. It's a seasonal position and we have a large turnover, however, so I'm the "experienced" guard, relatively speaking. *shrug*
So I'm treating my injury aggressively: foam roller, ibuprofen, ice, compression, stretching and it's getting better. The problem is that I can't rest it completely; though I skipped my long run yesterday, I worked a busy tower and was sore by 3PM. I popped 800mg of ibuprofen and it helped, but I could really use an entire day (or three!) of running inactivity and give my body a jump in the healing process.Rim Nordic #3 this Sunday (MTB Race). I'd like to go if I can scrape the cash together, but then there's Xterra Snow Valley the following week; probably a better idea to skip Rim Nordic in favor of a strong Xterra race.

I was cleaning in another room tonight, and when I walked into the living room where Reagan and Sara Madalin were, this is what I saw. Isn't that so sweet? She's watching Taco in the backyard. That's the first time she's crawled over to look out the back door.
Once I took the first picture, and she saw the flash and heard the camera, she turned to me and grinned. This girl loves the camera. Then she decided she'd come over and see what I was up to.
Here's the video of her crawling. Excuse my videography. I'm FAR from being a pro. But you get the idea. She is crawling like a big girl and she loves the new freedom she has. She went from the living room, to the guest bedroom where I was. As I moved from room to room cleaning, she followed me. She is a girl on the move. If she's this busy now, I can't imagine how she'll be once she starts walking.

Yesterday we had our first rehearsal for the Suessical and went over the opening song. Oh my gosh I am so excited! It is such a fun song and as soon as I got home I downloaded it! Been singing it ever since! I am so excited for the new friends and new talents I get to explore.
Also on a side note tomorrow we leave for San Diego! So excited! Still haven't quite decided if we want to spend the money to go to Sea World because it is $75 a person! Ridiculous price I think! But maybe it's worth it. I don't know. I wasn't able to find any discount tickets. So we will see. I really would like to go to Sea World since I've never been. If we decide we can't swing it then we are going to go on a dolphin/whale watching tour which will be lots of fun too. So be expecting another post when we get back from all of our beach adventures!

Correctional officer accused of bringing contraband to work
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, August 19, 2010
ATASCOCITA - The office of the Texas Inspector General filed narcotics charges against a 41-year-old Houston woman who, according to Harris County court records, was caught smuggling narcotics into Pam Lychner State Jail in Atascocita.
According to Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark, Vonda Miller, a correctional officer at the jail, was stopped at the entrance to the facility Aug. 17 to submit to a randomsearch of employees entering the premises as they reported to work.
"It was discovered that Miller had tobacco, marijuana, and pills hidden on her person," Clark said. "Investigators with the Office of Inspector General were notified and Miller was taken into custody at approximately 5 p.m."
Miller is charged with possession of a prohibited substance in a correctional facility, a class A misdemeanor, and has since been released from Harris County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
She has been employed with TDCJ since Jan. 2007. Clark said Miller's employment is currently pending the outcome of the investigation. The case will be prosecuted by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

CAIRO — In the latest sign of Egypt's growing volatility, a series of blasts went off outside Cairo University on Wednesday, killing a police brigadier general and injuring at least seven people, officials and state media reported.
The three explosions went off outside the university's engineering faculty building, where students have been holding almost daily
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Political violence in Egypt has surged in the nine months since Morsi's ouster. Police have cracked down hard on Morsi's backers, while hard-line Islamic groups have repeatedly attacked security forces and police and army installations.
Two bombs exploded Wednesday only moments apart, but the third did not detonate until about an hour later, after police reinforcements, medical personnel, onlookers and journalists had converged on the scene. Officials described the devices as seemingly homemade.
The latest violent episode comes amid a newly launched presidential bid by former Defense Minister Abdel Fattah Sisi, who resigned from the army last week to run. Sisi led the coup against Morsi after overwhelming public calls for the Islamist president's removal from office.
The presidential vote is to take place May 26 and 27, with Sisi expected to easily win.
Morsi is now on trial for his life, and thousands of his

Patient: I am a transgender woman who wants a more feminine figure but no surgeries yet.My main question is, would the same exercises females use to enhance their buttocks work on a biological male? and achieve the same feminine result?The reason i ask is because i don't want to work out to enhance my figure and end up worse than when i started.
Symptoms: None
Doctor: Hello,Thanks for the query.The female gender has hormones mainly estrogen and progesterone.Estrogen is the main fe male hormone, that helps in fat accumulation in feminine areas like buttocks, thighs, breasts which gives the female figure a definition. This hormone does not function in male and is not in greater amounts when compared to females. Due to the lack of estrogen, even if you try the same exercises as in females, weight gain over these areas, including buttocks is not possible.Surgery is the best option for a figure correction in your case.Hope this helped.Regards

Subject: RE: fall election
Thank you for bringing your question to my attention. I am always pleased to hear from and respond to my constituents.
To answer your question; yes, I would support the passage and implementation of the conceal/carry firearms bill. In fact, I was a co-sponsor of the last conceal/carry proposal authored by my colleague Representative Scott Gunderson (R-Waterford) during the 2007-2008 Legislative Session. Both Representative Gunderson and I were planning on pursuing this matter during this past legislative session, but we both agreed that due to the make-up of the legislature, with Democrats in the majority of both houses and occupying the Governor's office, we would wait for a better time to pursue the proposal again.
It is my intention once again to pursue this issue during the next legislative session. My colleagues and I will determine if the political atmosphere is right for us to pursue such a hot button issue, but be assured that I will continue to keep this issue at the forefront of our agenda and will always stand-up for our 2nd Amendment Rights.
Again I thank you for bringing your question to my attention. If you should have any further questions or comments regarding this or any other state government issues, please do not hesitate to contact me. It is a pleasure serving you in State Assembly.
Best wishes,
John Murtha

than how they make their living.if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.
If you had a negative experience because of something YOU did then I would say it's best left unsaid as it would be unfair to tarnish someone's means of earning a living when it was your own fault but if it was the escorts fault then yes, by all means share your experiences.
I am sure I've had bookings where the client has been difficult or rude to me or whatever or perhaps we just haven't clicked despite my best efforts then I know I would feel upset about them leaving me a bad review but if I had done something wrong like false advertised or wasn't fresh and clean or was unreliable then I would only have myself to blame for a negative and would have to sort myself out.

But I will say this. Honest and objective is subjective! That is why so many negative reviews get deleted while positive reviews hurt no one imho.

Maybe E-I should give some guide lines on acceptable parameters for negative reviews?
xagerate (23-09-14)
I know I can't relax around someone who is rude to me. Usually they show themselves up as being rude at the pre-booking stage so don't get as far as actually meeting me but occasionally some slip through the net. I've had to ask people to leave because of their attitude. That surely wouldn't warrant a bad review on me? I've taken the time to get myself ready and organised, I've allocated him a time spot where I could have give that to someone else and I treat every person the exact same when they walk through the door.....I'm friendly, chatty, bubbly but the second I sense a dodgy attitude then naturally my back goes up and I am unable to relax so therefor unable to offer the best service. If I sense the attitude early on the I will ask them to leave an obviously give them their money back but if I don't notice anything till after sexual services have already started then I will cut the booking short and give them their remaining money back. I've had to do this a few times.
I usually just put up with the smelly ones and refuse another booking from them if it's unbearable but this will result in me not getting as close and intimate as I would with someone who was clean.
Some people do need reminding that escort or not, we're only human so bad manners, sheer disrespect and turning up stinking of shite, piss, cock cheese and onion pits isn't gonna result on a positive experience for yourself nevermind us.
Makes no sense to me why someone would hand over so much of their hard earned cash and not at least wipe the top layer of shit from their asshole.....jeez!
Happens far too often. And these smelly people don't realise how smelly they are because they are so used to themselves. Anyone ever had to work in the office with the guy who stinks the place out? Well imagine getting up close and personal with him, having sex with him and getting your gums around his penis! It's just not nice.

I had a guy on here once write me a negative review that was later removed by EI because his complaint was that I wouldn't piss on him, fuck him with a strapon and give him OWO I think it was...if memory services me right but don't quote me on the OWO thing. All services I have never advertised or offered so he thought it would be fair to tarnish my reviews cause he was to lazy to read my profile and so ignorant that he assumed he could turn up and get to do whatever he pleases. He also complained that I was a half hour late......well I was running 10 minutes late and let him know well in advance but I ended up texting to tell him I was ready at 15.06 so I was a whole 6 minutes late, hardly the end of the world. When I told him I was ready, he said he was in the pub across the road and will be over soon....he turned up at 15.30 so yes he was a half hour late on getting into my room but 24 minutes of that half hour was him pissing about. He also complained that he was in and out in less than an hour, he was truthful with that point but failed to mention that he got a full service and massage in the time he was with me and after the second round he got up and started getting dresses so what was I suppose to do at that point? Tell him to sit back down and that he wasn't leaving until his time was up? No I don't think so.
2 sides to every story and that definitely did not warrant a negative review. The guy tarnished my reviews based on a load of bullshit, his dreadful attitude and with very slight truth to his review but with huge factors (important information) left out to make me look bad when all in all.....he was just a complete arsehole! I am sure if he reads this now, he will know who he is. He then went on to have some positive experiences with some escorts after me but those escorts actually offered the services he enjoys. He should never have booked me in the first place as I didn't cater for his likes, that does not mean I am bad at my job.

Sanjay Gupta is Obama's Surgeon General
President-elect Barack Obama has approached its medical correspondent CNN and CBS News, Sanjay Gupta, to be the country's next general surgeon.
Gupta, a neurosurgeon, said that he wants the job, and he asked for a few days to figure out the financial and logistical details of moving his family from Atlanta to Washington but is expected to accept the offer.
He is Former White House fellow who worked with Hillary Clinton on health care policy in the late 90s. The surgeon general typically isn't heavily involved in shaping an administration's policy, but it can be a very effective bully pulpit for someone who is media savvy.
Sanjay Gupta, 39, is married to Rebecca Olson Gupta currently pregnant and they have three children namely Sage, Skye, and Neal.

In The Quantum Self, Danah Zohar argues that the insights of modem physics can illuminate our understanding of everyday life -- our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world at large. Guiding us through the strange and fascinating workings of the subatomic realm to create a new model of human consciousness, the author addresses enduring philosophical questions. Does the new physics provide a basis by which our consciousness might continue beyond death? How does the material world (for instance, ugly inner cities) impinge upon our sense of self? Is there a subatomic wellspring from which our creativity, our empathy with others, and our feelings of unity with the inanimate world originate?
Most important, Zohar shows how the vitality of the new physics combats the alienation and fragmentation of twentieth-century life, and replaces it with a model of reality in which the universe itself may possess a type of consciousness, of which human consciousness is one expression.

I'm listening to the silence. The rest of the country seems to be on fire with revelations involving sexual misconduct, violence and harassment. #MeToo echoes everywhere, like a round being sung with new voices constantly joining in, more every day. The church, however, isn't saying much. In a church that draws on the prophetic tradition and claims to stand for justice, that silence is loud. Remember: People come to worship for an hour on Sunday, but they live in the world. I'm the mother of two young adult daughters. I assure you, almost every woman I know, from the grandmothers to the 14-year-olds, has a #MeToo story. I remember the phone call I got when my daughter was assigned to take a class with a particular high school teacher with a reputation. He was the only one teaching that AP class, so her option was to take it from him or not take it at all. A friend who has a daughter a few years older called me up and said, "Let her take the class, but talk to her. Tell her … [Read more...]
#MeToo in the Bible
The Bible surprises sometimes. Even passages read and re-read reveal connections unwanted and unsought. While digging around in the second chapter of Matthew, the story of the wise men seeking Jesus, the margin notes of my "Novum Testamentum Graece" sent me to Judges, chapter 19. I can say with confidence that's not a passage you have likely heard preached or taught in Sunday school frequently, or ever. Judges 19 grabbed me with its horror, the Levite's concubine cast out into a crowd of violent townspeople in order to spare her husband. Gang-raped through the night, found dead on the doorstep of the house the next morning, and then her husband dismembers her body into 12 pieces and distributes the parts around the territory of Israel. My study Bible notes, "This story will get worse before it gets better." Indeed. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God? As a colleague of mine used to say: "The Bible is not a children's book." The story of the Levite's concubine has echoes in the … [Read more...]

What is Myringoplasty?
Myringoplasty is the name of the operation which repairs a hole in the ear drum.
What is Tympanoplasty?
Tympanoplasty is the name of the operation which repairs the ear drum but in addition clears the middle ear of disease. The middle ear is the space behind the ear drum and connects to the back of the nose containing three small bones called ossicles, namely the malleus, incus and stapes. These three bones together with the ear drum acts as an amplifier for sound presented to the ear.
Reasons for repair of the ear drum
There are a number of reasons to repair a hole in the ear drum. Firstly, if there is a hole in the ear drum it causes reduced hearing. This is called a conductive hearing loss.
By repairing the ear drum the hearing can improve. A second reason to have the ear drum repaired is that it provides a dry ear.
When there is a hole in the ear drum there is a communication between the outside environment, the middle ear and subsequently into the nose. This can cause recurrent ear infections with discharge of pus via the ear. This may occur as water can enter the middle ear during times of showering, bath ing, swimming etc. Furthermore there can be entry of bacteria via the nose and resulting ear infections.
The Surgery
Myringoplasty is performed under a general anaesthetic as a day case or an overnight stay in hospital. You will come back after the operation with a big dressing over the ear which is removed the following morning. To perform the operation a cut is made either behind the ear in the shape of a hockey stick, or alternatively a small cut in front of the ear. The particular incision depends on the access at the time of the operation. Mr. Watson uses dissolving stitches to stitch up the wound. This means that no stitches need to be removed after the operation. The ear drum is made from your natural body tissue. Mr. Watson will take a piece of tissue, generally from the area where the cut is made. One such tissue is called temporalis fascia.
This tissue is a strong tissue which covers muscle. This is the whitish material which you may have seen at times covering a piece of steak you may buy at the butcher shop. It is very strong and is a good material to use for an ear drum graft. Alternative tissue used is that of the tragal cartilage which is a small piece of cartilage which helps to give the ear its shape.
A small piece of this cartilage can be used without causing any severe disfigurement to the ear. At the end of the operation Mr. Watson will pack the ear canal with a substance called either Gel Foam or BIPP. These are placed in the ear canal to prevent infection, and in the case of Gel Foam, dissolves on its own. In the case of BIPP, it will be removed when seen post operatively.

Lamb Rogan Josh: After
While the adults in the house enjoyed the lamb rogan josh, the under-ten set gives it a mixed review. This is the way Oscar and Ike evaluate everything - with the "Gladiator"-style thumbs-up, -down, or the milquetoast non-review, thumbs-sideways. Here, Oscar is trying not to piss me off by giving my Indian curry a fully negative review, but the fact that he barely ate two bites of it is what I consider a thumbs way down. Ike thought that "the meat warms [his] throat up," and later augmented his review to "too spicy." You can see that I served it over basmati rice and garnished the whole shebang with cilantro. This kind of dish tends to be better the second day. More interesting posts will surely follow, not all limited to the subject of food. In unrelated news, I sang "Okie From Muskogee" to my co-workers today and discovered that despite the fact that I spent hour upon hour painting my toenails with Malia Gagliano in high school listening to the "Platoon" soundtrack on cassette on her back deck, I could not remember that many of the lyrics. How perplexing is memory.

Lamb Rogan Josh: Before
Long time no post. I have just gotten my hands on my very own digital camera, so as soon as I grok how to use it there will be pictures galore and more posts. Tonight I'm making lamb rogan josh. What's not to like about Indian food? Seriously. Naan is delicious. Tikka masala is delicious. A tandoori is capable of alchemically transmogrifying even the most uninspiring raw materials into pure red-tinted deliciousness. I was originally planning on making this dish on Christmas day. I had all of my ingredients assembled ahead of time, or so I thought. On the day, I realized that I had NO fresh ginger (an ingredient I usually have around), thus triggering an hours-long trek all over Madison looking for a grocery store that was both open and stocked with fresh ginger. No such thing. So we all ended up going to Taste of India for dinner. My understanding that Chinese restaurants were the customary destination for a Christmas meal out was incorrect; Indian restaurants, at least in Madison, are the go-to destination. The rogan josh dish was pushed up to tonight and is currently simmering away on the stove. I could eat lamb for every meal. Not only is it delicious, but there is something delightfully perverse in consuming an animal that is so cute and fuzzy while it is living and doesn't have a euphemistic name once it's transformed into meat, like "veal" or "squab". If I can figure out this newfangled photo-graph machine, I will post a picture of the finished product and you can all wish you were in my cozy turmeric-scented kitchen this evening, listening to me whinge endlessly about rude library patrons.

You know their characters, but would you recognize the stars of Game of Thrones outside Westeros?
Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
Lena seems a tad more easygoing than Cersei, but possibly just as tough.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright)
Fans may not even recognize Wright on the street, which only seems fair. Bran's been chased enough.
The Hound (Daniel Day-Lewis)
Day-Lewis would literally burn his own flesh to understand the aggression and vulnerability in his final role as Sandor Clegane.
Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen)
Off-screen, the brother of English musician Lily Allen seems a bit less tormented.
The Night King (Daniel Day-Lewis)
Day-Lewis would literally sleep in a freezer to help bring out the character of the Night King.
Melisandre (Daniel Day-Lewis)
"It's my final role. You know I have to be the sexy sorceress," Day-Lewis reportedly told HBO.
Ghost (Daniel Day-Lewis)
"It's my final role. You know I have to live among a pack of wolves," Day-Lewis reportedly told HBO.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
"You dream of working with a legend like that, but it's possible there's such a thing as too much Day-Lewis," said Dinklage.
The Mountain (Daniel Day-Lewis)
"Preparation for a role" proved to be an unconvincing murder defense in court, forcing the now 400-pound Day-Lewis into an unexpected early retirement.

GREENWICH -- As 81 students on the verge of graduation fidgeted, fussed and prepared for Greenwich Central School's 133rd commencement on Sunday, a PowerPoint slide slow played out for their parents in the school auditorium and gymnasium.
"Their bonds are very tight," said Principal George Niesz, noting that the pictures flashing on the screen showed many of the graduates play together, from ages 4, 5 and 6 straight through high school. "They have been together a long time. They really do love each other. There are different groups, but they love each other."
When it was all over, and the graduates had dispersed onto the school lawn to blow bubbles and take pictures, Ali Stein remembered the good times.
"There are so many (memories). So many good times. Prom was great, it was a really good time," she said, then cast her mind back, thinking about having so many of the same classmates for 13 years. "I love it. I love how we have so many memories together. I remember kindergarten, meeting the teachers, nap time, snack time."
"They teachers gave us mugs for snack time. We were so excited. I still have mine," said Stein, who noted that the mug made so many trips through the dishwasher that the original "Alicyn" faded away and she replaced with "Ali" in marker.
Niesz, whose family has been in the Greenwich area for two centuries, said that in addition to their closeness, his seniors also had an amazing sense of competition, whether it be on field or stage.
"Wherever these kids competed, they did it to win," he added. "They are unified in a remarkable way, and they have unbreakable bonds with their friends."
Along with Fryer, Valedictorian Roxanne Henningson, Salutatorian Nicole Brownell, Kaitlin Andrews, Ethan Oswald, Andrew Horning and Clinton English all earned the highest Regents diplomas, passing all eight required tests with grades of 90 or better.
Andrews, who was the National Honor Society president, and Meghan Dusha, the president of the Class of 2010, were both on the girls' cross country teams that won four consecutive state titles.
"The seniors in this class led almost every one of our teams to a sectional title game or beyond," Niesz said.
While the class had more than its share of homegrown graduates, it also had an international contingent. Saruta Sudsawad of Thailand and Tristan Mittelhaus of Germany received Foreign Exchange Certificates after spending the year in America. Two other graduates, Ashley Aredes of Brazil and Melanie Brehm of Germany are dual citizens.
Commencement speaker Steven Patrick, the coach of those four straight state cross-country championship teams, was equally proud of the school that he graduated from in 1973.
"I travel to a lot of places, and our school has a very good reputation in the Capital Region," said Patrick, who is retired after teaching there since 1983. "You have a common bond. This is a part of your foundation, your core values system, your work ethic."
His main message was that the graduates had joined a new family, one of Greenwich alumni. "Welcome to the family," he said.

Hot Stove Update: AJ Preller Blows Up the Hot Stove
The common denominator in all these Padres deals is the acquisition of RH power to the point of selling out everything else for it. The Padres now have a projected starting OF of Kemp, Upton and Myers. Who is going to play CF out of that bunch? Kemp is going to want to, but can he? Myers played some CF in the minors, but nobody thinks of him as a MLB CF. Upton has never played there, so he's out. There is some speculation that Myers might move to 1B or that Preller might flip him to Texas for Jurickson Profar who would become the Padres SS if he can stay healthy.
The Padres already had decent options at 3B in Cory Spangenburg and Yangervis Solarte. Middlebrooks joins that mix as an all or nothing power hitter who is not much of a fielder. Derek Norris is also a guy who can jerk the ball out to LF and his BA has improved over the last 3 seasons. Norris' defense came under criticism after the Royals ran wild in the Wild Card game.
Beyond that, trying to sort out who will be starting where for the Padres and who will be a reserve and who will be shopped out gives me a gigantic headache. As for the Braves, they seem to be burning the ship down to the water line. Fried may be a legitimate pitching prospect, but is coming off TJ. The other prospects look more suspect to me. Billy Bean made a nice haul for Norris as both Hahn and Alvarez are legitimate pitching prospects who both broke in last year. Hahn went 7-4 with a 3.07 ERA in 12 starts for the Padres last year and Alvarez is a hard throwing RHP with a good shot at eventually being a MLB closer.
In other news, the Marlins acquired Martin Prado from the Yankees for RHP Nathan Eovaldi. Prado will play 3B for Florida after Casey McGehee got sent to the Giants. Prado is nice player, but Miami might have been better off to just keep McGehee and Eovaldi.

I like most of these moves by Preller the Seller. He got some hitters who should make the Padres competitive, he didn't give up his pitching staff and somehow hung onto Hunter Renfroe, who I think will be very good. He used the previous regimes high draft picks to get relevant stat! and that should be fun for Padre fans, being relevant. Austin Hedges gets a lot of hype, not quite as sold on him, but he held there and has Wisler as well.ReplyDelete
And a lot of fast athletic OFs who have no place to play now! So there will be more trades. I think giving up Alvarez to trader Billy might be the worst move.
Interesting to me that a "new age" GM decided to hell with OF defense and to hell with pitch framing. Maybe he thinks its overrated. I do!Replies

Sounds like "Preller the Seller" did...Delete
I like the McGehee deal. Wonder how the new Padre RHed lineup will fare vs our rotation.
I think defense is for real. Pitch framing has a ways to go to be a reliable metric, IMO.Delete
Postseason defense is extremely important. The Padres had a excellent defensive OF - that couldn't hit. You have to have guys who can hit. Its a balance. The Giants without Pence, who can do it all pretty well, would be dead in the water. You have to have enough offense to grind through the season. And yes, I slept a tad in the post season. What happened?Delete
- MosesZDDecember 21, 2014 at 8:01 AM
I think defense is real because that stat analysis bears out a greater correlation to winning with ERA than any offensive category. And ERA is the product of pitching and defense.Delete
This is all, btw, based on pre-Steriod era research.
The sad part is the pesky Padres got a little more peskier. I am not saying they are a playoff team yet but when we have to play them 19 times they might win a few more than last year. Kemp IMO is injury prone and probably will miss some time. There has to be some reason the Rays dumped Myers. Buster Olney thought it had to do with his K rate and lack of power in the major leagues. Thought this would be the highest his stock would be and if he had another down year his value wouldn't be much.ReplyDeleteReplies

I agree. And if we come up short in October...well, we'll be right on schedule for 2016.Delete
What we all have to understand is that Pence and Sandoval struggled like no other at the beginning of the season. Pence didn't start hitting until 1 1/2 months into the season and 2 months for Sandoval. Cain and Belt barely played. Pagan had his usually season ending injury. Romo lost the closing bid. And to top it off we had the worst June I have ever seen. I think we lost like 21 games that month. All of this and we were the wildcard. Barring major slumps and season ending injuries we will be just fine.ReplyDeleteReplies

It's hard to believe that we will have an Opening Day team that is identical with the WS Champion team of 2014, minus Morse, Sandoval, and Vogelsong, but plus McGehee and Cain. More tuning must be in the works, don't you think?Delete
Yeah, a reigning WS champion has no chance unless it upgrades, huh?Delete
Morse had one big hit, but was otherwise non-factor from well before midseason on. If Cain is truly healthy, replacing him with Vogelsong is hardly standing pat. McGehee is not quite Sandoval, but will probably be better than a replacement level player.
Giants may add an OF before Spring Training, or they may wait until midseason to evaluate their needs, but yeah, it's basically a returning championship team. I can think of worse positions to be in.
- AnonymousDecember 20, 2014 at 1:56 PM
Me too. But I would like to win more than 88 games, and squeak into the WS. I bet Sabean would also and that he will upgrade. Alex Pavlovic has a tweet today that Sabean doesn't like the crop of free agents for LF and would explore the trade market. I'm actually not sure he said he would explore it or simply that to get a good LF partner for Blanco someone would have to explore it.Delete
The name of the game now is to be good enough to get into the playoffs including the Wild Cards. Anything more and you are overspending to be just another team in the crapshoot. Just ask the Dodgers.Delete
And while you are at it, you can ask Billy Beane too.Delete
Besides Lester and Scherzer would you prefer to overpay for subpar talent and be in trouble for future years? I will pass on that.ReplyDeleteReplies

Depending on what Shields is being offered, he is still worth more than the good draft pick, at least for a couple years. If G's could get a deal, even a long deal, that was vested after 3 years on innings pitched the last year or two years, that protects the Giants. Give him a player option to bail. Say $110M, $22M a year for 5 years, with a signing bonus of $10M, first year $10M, then the $22.5M per year for 4 (after Hudson and Lincecum are off payroll), with vesting and player can bag it. He probably wouldn't take it but makes G's very formidable if he takes it and wil be with WS ChampsDelete
Personally, I would rather have the draft pick and not have the risk on the backside of a Shields contract, but that's just me.Delete
This offseason has not turned out like everyone thought. I think we all expected to make a huge splash with either Pablo, Tomas or Lester. Maybe even make big trades to bolster the lineup. However, none of that happened. I was pretty disappointed but now that everything is "mostly" finished except a few tweaks here and there I am happy. First reason is because we didn't trade our wealth of pitching Blackburn, Crick, Blach, Santos, Mella, etc. That alone is a good sign. That says that they have faith that a few of these guys could be MLB players and it wasn't worth trading the future. We will need 2 SP in 2016 and maybe we have them in house or at least one so we only need to sign one. Second reason is we didn't punt our first round draft pick. I believe this will be 18 overall after Scherzer is signed. I am guessing the Yanks will end up getting him after the upgrades the Sox and Jays did and the way the Orioles have been playing. The Giants FO believes a star can be found at this part in the draft. I think you will see some big and aggressive moves for 2016 with Timmy, Huddy and McGehee leaving. You might even see them double dip into the Cuban market this winter or during the season. Relax and have confidence we have a competitive team. It took me weeks to get here and the water is fine.ReplyDeleteReplies
I would have been fine with a big signing, but I also have to say I was skeptical that any of that would happen. I too am very happy they appear to have hung onto the draft pick. Yeah, the odds at #18 are iffy, but you never know when you might get a Cain or a Panik that late or when a Beede falls into your lap. Really wanted to keep that pick for the long term health of the organization. I also felt that another big longterm commitment could box them into a corner in the future. You want to maintain some semblance of payroll flexibility.Delete
So yeah, it hasn't gone exactly the way I envisioned it either, but it'll do. Now, a trade for the OF from Philly would be a perfect coda.( sorry, just blanked on his name).
It should be exciting going toe to toe with Padres and hopefully keeping up with the Dodgers. Giants can always upgrade at the deadline since they didn't deal anybody away over the winter and should have some payroll allowance.Delete

You might be thinking of Marlon Byrd.ReplyDelete
Yep, that's him. Not too expensive. Relatively short term commitment. Good chance of bringing needed power to the lineup. To me, he's almost the perfect target for LF. Bring him in and I would label the offseason an unqualified success!Delete
He's (Byrd) a perfect fit for Sabean and the Giants at this point. They could perhaps clear some 40 man room as well. Gary Brown thrown into the package or along with ???Delete
- campanariDecember 20, 2014 at 9:07 PM
Byrd's strikeout percentage has been going up sharply over the last four years, from about 16% to 20 to 24 to 29, so as to make one wonder how valuable he will continue to be. Also, MLBTR recently reported that when the Orioles asked about Byrd, the Phillies countered with a package of Byrd and Ryan Howard. Ugh.Delete
Yeah, don't want Ryan Howard or his contract.Delete
I would much rather take Allen Craig over Byrd. Craig is much younger (30 v 37) and if he can put the bad year of 2014 behind him and play like the previous 3 then that gives the Giants cost certainty for LF for 4 more years and a very team friendly (5.5M, 9M, 11M and 13M) contract. I think last year he must have had nagging injuries because he is a much better player than the stats show.Delete
So far, Byrd has been a better fielder than Craig and I would rather have the 1 year commitment than the risk on the last 2 years of Craig's contract, but I would take either one.Delete
Not in MLBTR that Sabes said the Giants have "limited" financial flexibility going forward and would have to choose between going after Shields or a LF.ReplyDelete
OK, if Shields is still a possibility, then we have to conclude that there is something funky with the luxury tax threshold or the Giants are willing to go past it.
You are right. Something is wrong with the calculations because I highly doubt they will even get close to cap. If they are possibly thinking about adding Shields on top of Romo, McGehee and Peavy then maybe the signing bonuses are calculated much differently. Who knows? We will just wait and see.ReplyDelete
From what I have read Allen Craig is finished. Foot injury, bat speed-put a fork in him.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, I am sure Sabes and Co will do their due diligence on Craig, Byrd and others.Delete
The tax is calculated on AAV of each contract with the signing bonus added in as part of the calculation. So if the player has a 10 mil signing bonus, 8 mil year one, 12 mil year two, 20 mil year three for a total of 50 mil, it counts as 16.67 mil a year against the threshold. Info comes from fangraphs.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, like I said, if the Giants are still serious about James Shields or an OF that costs anything, then either the Fangraphs info is wrong or the Giants are OK with going over the threshold or the threshold has moved up or some of the published info on the Giants current payroll is wrong because signing Shields at this point would almost certainly blow past the threshold based on what we think we know.Delete
This kind of gets into known knowns, known unknowns, unknown unknowns, etc.
One thing I learned from the research on this is players are taxed on their signing bonus by the state they live in NOT by the state they play in. With California tax rates being so high a player that lives elsewhere should seek a higher signing bonus to alleviate tax burden in their overall contract. This idea may help when attracting free agents who weigh offers from teams in states other than Cal against what the Giants are offering. It was noted on a few different sites that Lester would have made millions less in SF if he signed the same contract that he did with the Cubs. Everyone points to our park as the reason FA don't want to come to the Giants but the California teams have to overcome crazy tax rates and you can bet the players have been told that they will make millions less on the same deal if they sign with teams in higher tax states. Sorry for rambling but if I am a player, I am moving to Nevada where there is no state income tax and I am asking for the biggest part of my salary in a signing bonus.Delete

I don't know about others, but I didn't see Scutaro, Melky, Peavy, etc before management acquired them.ReplyDelete
Being a fan is a lot easier and so, I will leave the heavy lifting to Sabean, Evans, Bochy and Co.
Instead, I try to concentrate on staying eternally hopefully and such macro stuff like 'are injuries too much to overcome this year to trade away a top prospect?'Replies
- AnonymousDecember 21, 2014 at 9:29 AM
It's true, we as fans should have learned to trust Sabes more after the Melky and Scutaro, but then look at Hicks and Uggla, and Frenchy. Maybe Mcghee for example, will show up with Melky flair, and lead the league in hits, but he's no replacement for a power guy that contended for a Gold Glove.Delete
Each off season, I find our rivals looking better on paper, so I'm used to that.... this is the first time I actually think we look worse than the year before.
- campanariDecember 21, 2014 at 10:31 AM
Oh? We have lost 4 fWAR through the departure of Sandoval and Morse. Do you not think we will gain those through McGehee, a full year of Panik, and a healthy Pagan and Belt? Peavy as a starter probably improves on Vogelsong. Susac as backup catcher improves on H. Sanchez. How then are we weaker? If we add a LF worth 1.5 or 2 WAR, we should be stronger than last year's World Champion team, shouldn't we?Delete
We have done a minimum so far, but maybe a minimum is all we need to do, recalling that our improved rivals will have to play each other as well as us. If the Padres take a couple more games from us, they will also take a couple from the Dodgers, don't you think?
Well, there is a difference between trust and blind faith. IMO, Sabes has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a very good GM, possibly even a HOF GM! On the other hand, no GM is perfect and no team is going to win the World Series or even necessarily make the playoffs every year.Delete
I trust that over a long period of time, Sabes is going to make more good decisions than bad and is going to produce a better team than most GM's in the came circumstance. In the shorter term, there will be times when he might have done things that would have turned out better and will field some teams that aren't quite good enough to make the postseason let alone win it.
So far, I would say his moves this offseason have been prudent. Like last year and 2012 and 2010, this team is looking like one that has to have some things go right for it. As we know from 2011 and 2013, things don't always break right.
OK, thanks for the support everybody. A few sub comments may have automatically been deleted with the original comment. I don't have control of that.ReplyDelete
Once again, the basic commenting policy is Have a Take, Don't $&%#! Comments that are too far off topic, argumentative without data or reasoning to back them up, as well as those that violate the usual rules will get deleted. I am trying to maintain a community where people can have a rational discussion about baseball. You do not have to agree. I leave comments in almost every post that do not agree with my take, but they are presented either as a simple statement of opinion or have some data or reasoning to back them up. What I do not want is for discussions to degenerate into a "yes it is, no it isn't", "tastes great, less filling" type of argument or for someone to get on a hobby horse and ride it into the ground. If you are beating a dead horse, go beat it somewhere else!
Yes, most screen names are made up, including mine, but if you use the same screen name consistently it is a way of building up a recognizable track record of contributory commenting that will buy you some extra consideration in editing comments.
I don't know how else to do it and still maintain the environment I am looking for. I don't want to initiate a policy of moderating comments before they appear, because that is much more stifling in my opinion.
If I have hit the button a bit too fast on some comments, I apologize, but I am also determined to not let the comments degenerate into shouting matches and off topic conversations that we see on some sites.Replies
Well to lighten things up a little Doc, the Dodgers just got hit for a bill of 26.6 million in luxury tax penalties. The Bums had a 257 mil payroll taxed at 30% and have now paid 38 million over the last 2 years. As Mike Tyson would say, "That is ludacrissss."ReplyDeleteReplies
$26.6 M is a whole lot of money for anybody, even multibillionaire owners!Delete
Go big or go home eh? So you like either but not the middle? This is a barely in the middle team, so I can't see why you are so content. This team barely made the playoffs last year and has done nothing to get better and all signs point to LF being a considerable down grade from last year. Some people say that fact that minor league pitching wasn't traded means the Giants understand how valuable they are. On the other hand, (and just as likely) is that other teams know those guys aren't that good so why trade for them? Some people say Pablo wasn't that good last year so he is easy to replace, on the other hand him being average is one of the reasons they nearly missed the playoffs.ReplyDelete
I question your belief that they will spend money at the trade deadline if they are close. If they won't go over the CBT now, why would they then? And how much help could they get if they want to stay under the CBT, not enough to stay competitive. Isn't it better to have a good team from the outset than to count on a mediocre team to perform better than expected? Oh wait, that would just be better for the fans, the owners don't care, the season tickets have been sold and they are raking in the $ from October. This is Sabean doing his job well, keeping the purse holders and the hardworking, middleclass, $ spending non-hardcore fans mollified. We are looking at another serious non- defense of the title. Little wonder nobody takes the franchise seriously.

MIAMI - — The spirit of Jamaica came to life on Sunday as thousands of people sang, ate the cuisine of the island and swayed to the beat of reggae music.
Because, mon, it was Jamaican Independence Day.
An estimated 4,000 people turned out at Bayfront Park on Sunday to celebrate the holiday with the 11th annual Miami Reggae Festival.
Vickie Sterling of Fort Lauderdale, and her daughter, Alex, 6, enjoyed the music.
"That's why we live down here - to experience different cultures and take advantage of" programs that promote diversity, Sterling said.
Said Helen Hines of Hollywood: "It's happy music, it makes me feel good. We have to experience other cultures and learn about other people."
Sydney Roberts, executive director of Jamaica Awareness, a Miami-based organization that sponsored the festival, said that's exactly why the festival was started.
The reason for celebration came on Aug. 6, 1962, when Jamaica became an independent nation after 300 years of British control.
In Jamaica, the month of July is dedicated nationwide to gearing up for the festivities, Roberts said. The prelude includes food, arts, song and dance competitions among grade school children.
Independence Day is celebrated on the island today - the first Monday in August - with float parades, concerts and parties. The hub of activities is the capital city of Kingston.

For 12 years, as an executive at Demandware, I had the privilege of having a front-row seat in the ever-evolving theater of digital retail. From the emergence of cloud infrastructure to the disruption caused by mobile technologies to the impact of social media, retail is an industry defined by significant and constant change. The most agile and innovative retailers are quick to embrace change. They take on every challenge and seize every opportunity. This is what I love most about the retail industry — it's fast, it's dynamic and it's opportunistic.
Today, the biggest emerging opportunity for retailers is to engage consumers beyond traditional channels — i.e. beyond the physical store or the website. The average consumer uses six touchpoints before buying an item. Whether it's Instagram or an interactive display, each one of these touchpoints is an opportunity to inspire consumers with product information or brand experiences. But, why stop there? Why inspire them, only to then require them to navigate channels and interfaces to purchase? Why make them wait in line at a store to check out? Quite simply, because legacy technologies make it hard to give consumers what we, and they, want. Until now.
Enter Moltin.
Moltin uses an API-first approach to remove the constraints of traditional commerce. With Moltin, developers can build rich, vibrant commerce experiences, and easily embed them into any device or channel. Retailers can embed commerce in any social application, any digital display, including smart televisions. They can build beautiful commerce experiences without being confined to a template. It's incredibly exciting technology that I believe will inspire the next wave of innovation within retail. And we can't wait to see what you build.
I'm honored to be joining Moltin as CEO and excited to announce that we have raised an $8M series A round led by Underscore VC, with existing investors Connect Ventures and Frontline Ventures. With this fundraise, we will continue to grow our team, reach new markets and link the powerful APIs that are enabling real commerce into every consumer touchpoint.
The industry's response to Moltin has been overwhelming. Our rapidly growing community is comprised of more than 17,000 developers who are building some of the coolest commerce experiences around the world. Come see what's being built at moltin.com
The next year at Moltin is going to be phenomenal. Thank you to our investors, advisors and customers for all of your support. And thank you to the Moltin team for welcoming me as one of your own; your vision for the future and passion to bring it to life is an inspiration.
We look forward to sharing more of the Moltin journey – and the experiences our customers are building – with you in the weeks and months ahead.

Iligan City, Philippines- Limunsudan Falls is a two-tiered waterfall located in Barangay Rogongon, Iligan City, Philippines, 55 kilometers away from the City proper. It is said to be the Philippines' highest waterfall with the height of 870 feet, with the lower part cascading alone higher than the Maria Cristina Falls.
I am very amazed with this one. From the city proper up to this site, you have to trek for two days, maybe because of the terrain. Even if I live in this city, I still got no chance to visit this fantastic place. This is one of my dreams that has to be fulfilled. Isn't it great guyz?..This falls claims to be the highest waterfalls in Asia. Truly Fantastic

For some reason, people are finding this blog via the search term "ass". Do I say "ass" a lot? Maybe I do. But do I say it so much that it would show up in a search engine as an authority on ass? Maybe it's because some time ago Dwight put a link to a picture of a horse's ass (another term I get in my search column) in the comments.
Well, for whatever reason, I feel I must solidify my place as the site to come to when you're wanting ass.
So to that *ahem* end:
- ass ass ass ass ass
- ass ass ass
- ass ass
- ass ass ass ass
- ass
Ass ass ass ass ass ass, ass ass ass ass ass, ass ass ass ass.
Come on, spammers.

Love Ferrari, Buy Fiat Chrysler
One of the best ways to play the soon-to-be spun off sports-car maker is to buy shares in parent Fiat. And that means you can ride the global auto maker's stock as well.
Dow Jones Global Indexes|Global Stock Markets
If you went car shopping for a Ferrari and came home with a Chrysler, you might feel cheated. But as far as the shares are concerned, buying Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a pretty solid substitute for the Italian sports-car maker.

Reuniting with friends and family is something I genuinely like to do.
Last summer I attended a family reunion and loved every second of it.
There were kids running around. Adults mingling and monitoring kids.
We spent time at the lake. On the water. In the water.
We spent time talking and laughing.
We spent time cooking and prepping – husking corn and grilling meat.
We spent time reflecting and remembering those who were not present due to distance and death.
And we spent time discussing when our next reunion will occur.
Unfortunately that reunion will not take place this summer – this August.
But another reunion will – this August – just like last.
A reunion with friends I've come to love. Friends I met three short summers ago. Friends I look forward to laughing and learning with.
No matter what type of reunion you attend this summer – or any summer – the time spent with the people you reunite with is always special. All the stress of the planning and packing, flies out the window when you get to the site of the reunion. The place where you'll hug, handshake, high-five, and hello your friends and family. People you haven't seen in years (or one year).
Those people are worth it.
Have a French Fry Friday Reunion kind of day.


text: The forced "upgrade" from Smarthub (10 sensors supported) to Accurite Access (7 sensors supported) smells like Lawsuit material. Pretty sure there is no technical reason to switch off the support for SmartHub after Aug 31. Keeping a legacy API running for these laughable simple data costs nothing, the number of devices reporting to the server will not change. I rather assume they want to re-coup the cost of the debacle 2 years ago when the migration to My-Accurite and the mandatory firmware update bricked thousands of SmartHubs and they needed to send free replacements. I am besides myself. No way I will upgrade, a rather stop reporting my sensor data to Wundermaps etc.
