Garden Gate, Fence and Bench Made from Tree Limbs
2009-07-14 06:46:00 Whenever I see the remains of trees that have fallen or been cut down my mind immediately starts wondering what I can turn them into in the garden. The inspiration rarely leads to anything beyond those few moments where I envision, a bench, fence or trellis made from twigs and branches at home in my garden. A couple of years ago I even hauled home two tree stumps that I was going to turn into a chair and side table. The stumps still sit in the backyard waiting for me to get around to them. I'm a big fan of rustic garden art and structures, I'm just no good in the building area.Here are items I've seen around Chicago that...

Newspaper 334 Bench
2009-06-02 02:27:00 The 334 bench is the first furniture of the X days project series by Oscar Lhermitte. He is a student at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. The 334 bench is made of three parallel bars of metal and 334 chronological newspapers folded and stacked next to each other. Because of the large number of newspapers stacked in the 3 bars, the whole structure is very strong and can support more than 5 persons. The 334 bench costed around 5 pounds.

Who Has the Better Bench: Lakers or Nuggets?
2009-05-28 15:29:00 The Lakers bench and the Nuggets bench have been squaring off in the Western conference finals. On one night, it's seems like the other teams bench gives a strong lift to their team, while the other bench stinks.So that begs the question, which teams bench is really better?Overall, it's a very tough question. On some nights, the Nugget bench looks like the best in the league. But, their overall play on the road is not near as good or consistent as it needs to be. You never know if JR Smith or Birdman are going to play well in LA.Because of some Nugget inconsistency, I'm going with the Lakers. Not that they haven't been very inconsistent of late, but I think they can make things happen on the road. It's all about intensity with the LA bench. If they show strong effort, they should be the best bench in the league. Period.Disagree? Vote in the poll and comment on this post saying why the Nugget bench is better! Who has the better bench: Lakers or Nuggets?(poll)

Is the Nugget Bench Formidable?
2009-04-05 16:36:00 The Denver Nuggets have finally hit their stride of late. While some would argue their schedule has been easy of late; wins are wins and they've put six into a streak. So that got me thinking: with the Nuggets recent improvement in bench play, is their bench a threat for the playoffs?The answer is kind of complicated. Yes, part of their bench can certainly pose a threat. The bad thing is, part of that threat is pretty streaky. I'm talking about JR Smith. Sure, he has the ability to get really hot and light the opponent up, but, he also can be cold and lose almost all of his value.To prove my point about JR, over the last two games, he's been shooting three's at about 56%. Looking at two random games back in January, he only shot 46% (and on less attempts, which makes for less of an offensive contribution). So, you can never count on JR to score 20+. He may do it, but don't rely on it come the second round of the playoffs.The rest of their bench is stacked with hustle guys, not ...

The bench is poorly constructed
2008-06-06 21:48:00 It might make sense for Abraham Nunez to be recalled if the team is concerned about getting Wright and Reyes time off. I can understand how Willie wouldn't have faith in using Tatis or Easely at either spot, Easley tried to fill in at short and showed very little range. Both are on the team for veteran leadership and their bats. Nunez is an excellent infielder and has at least hit .240, Ahern is younger and just as good defensively but can't hit a lick."We've been talking about that, but he says he feels great," Randolph said. "We'll try to find a spot here and there. If I really feel like he's struggling, then I'll give him a day off." source NY PostBut even if you can justify Nunez that still doesn't mean the bench has been assembled properly. There is absolutely no reason for the Mets to be carrying three catchers, I understand the concept , it allows the team to use one catcher as a pinch hitter but Willie has never shown any interest in the idea. There have been several ...

Clear the bench & bring in Lofton
2008-05-28 18:34:00 Tim Marchman of The NY Sun has some interesting ideas on how to improve the team. Change is necessary, it seems like the few wins they have had lately have come when hungry role players are in the line-up. So if the Mets are sticking by Willie Randolph then their going to have to tweak the roster. In Marchman's article he suggests clearing the bench, switching Heilman and Pelfrey's roles and signing Kenny Lofton.Another thing to do would be to get rid of reserves Endy Chavez, Damion Easley, and the currently injured Marlon Anderson, who between them have 188 at bats — about as many as David Wright — and a .191 AVG/.231 OBA/.255 SLG batting line. Whatever intangible virtues they may have obviously haven't done the team any good, and aside from Chavez's defense, which could be replaced by Angel Pagan's once he comes off the disabled list, the three have contributed little on the field while soaking up an alarming amount of playing time. Thin as the farm system is, it does fea...

One Candidate Out: No Patrick Roy Behind Avs' Bench
2008-05-16 15:47:00 According to Adrian Dater, Patrick Roy has decided that he is not actually interested in coaching the Colorado Avalanche next season. His sons still play for the Remparts and he'd like to see them through their major junior careers: But Roy said he does want to coach in the NHL at some point, probably when his younger son, Frederick, leaves junior hockey. "When Fred is done, it will be different," Roy said. "But this is OK with me for now." Frederick Roy, 17, a center, played five games for the Remparts this past season but is expected to play a larger role next season. Roy's older son, Jonathan, 19, has played goalie for the Remparts the last two seasons. So speculation on that particular subject can finally cease. For what it's worth, at the end of the article Dater casts Kevin Dineen and Todd McLellan as the top two candidates, with Pat Burns and Ron Wilson as more experienced but likely secondary. Who really knows, though? Dineen and McLellan have tea...

St. Patrick Behind The Bench?
2008-05-12 16:07:00 Former Avalanche goaltender Patrick Roy is a coach. The Colorado Avalanche currently have a coaching vacancy to fill with the departure of Joel Quenneville (remember Don Cherry, he wasn't fired). Therefore, Patrick Roy is automatically a candidate for the job. Forget the fact that Roy has only been coaching hockey for a few years, and only at the junior level (in the offense-only QMJHL). Forget that hiring him would instantly be labeled a publicity stunt more than an actual move to improve the franchise. Forget that Francois Giguere would have to justify a growing string of nostalgia hirings, even if they've proven reasonably successful so far. Forget the fact that any and all mistakes or shortcomings suffered by the team would be magnified ten fold, just by the name behind the bench. It's a wonder Wayne Gretzky survived this long in Phoenix. Sure enough, because Patrick Roy is a coach somewhere, he's a candidate for the Avalanche job. ...

Juan Pierre Not Happy Being A Bench Player
2008-05-03 18:41:00 Juan Pierre, who has been the odd man out in the crowded Dodgers outfield this year, said following the team's 5-3 victory over the Florida Marlins on Thursday that he still has not accepted his current role with the club as a bench player: "I don't see myself as a bench player. I haven't accepted that. I know if they don't want me to play out there, that's their decision. But I don't see myself as a bench player." One reporter asked Pierre if he wanted to remain with the Dodgers to which the 30-year old responded: "I'm not going to answer that one. It is what it is. I'm not going to touch that one." Pierre is currently behind young outfielders Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier, along with offseason acquisition Andruw Jones, in the Dodgers' depth chart. His deal is guaranteed for four more years including 2008 (at a combined $36.5MM) with a limited no-trade clause. One difficult aspect of this situation is that Pierre is essentially still the same player he always was ...

Victorino back with Phillies, but stays on bench
2008-04-30 18:07:00 Shane Victorino is back, but he finds a crowded Philadeplhia Phillies outfield upon his return.That's mostly because Jayson Werth played well since Victorino went on the disabled list April 13 with a strained right calf. Werth hit .263 with five home runs and nine RBIs with Victorino sidelined. He also played well in center field, which has Charlie Manuel sounding uncertain about how he will use Victorino."If a guy is playing good, it's pretty hard to sit him on the bench," Manuel said of Werth. "I think he should get to play the run out. Who knows? If he keeps playing good, that right there is what makes you an everyday player."

Sore big toe keeps Hunter on bench
2008-04-21 13:52:00 Twenty games into his first season as an Angel, Torii Hunter has already sat out as many games as he did in his last season as a Minnesota Twin. Hunter called sitting out the Angels' 4-2 loss to Seattle on Sunday at Angel Stadium "very tough," even though it was a planned day off so that the center fielder could rest the sore big toe on his left foot. "I mean, I missed two games last year and I missed two already," Hunter said. "There won't be a lot of those. Right now, I've got this foot problem and you can't really do anything about it. Day games, they bother me. I'm not older, just sore."Precautionary X-rays on the toe, which Hunter jammed while crashing into the outfield wall on April 12 in Seattle, were negative. Hunter also sat out the Angels' game against the Mariners on April 13 because of the toe injury.

Another Tough Right-Hander: Chris Young Keeps Matt Kemp On The Bench?
2008-04-13 04:38:00 Is it official yet? Has Dodgers OF Juan Pierre been declared an everyday player? Last night, Dodgers' manager Joe Torre sat Matt Kemp against last season's Nl Cy Young winner, Jake Peavy, one of the best right-handed pitchers in baseball. While I do not believe you sit your best hitter against any pitcher, I cannot argue that Peavy is a tough one. Tonight, Kemp is again on the bench against a right-hander. This time, though, it is softer-tossing Chris Young. Is there really any reason for sitting Kemp? Has he gotten on the wrong side of Torre? A couple of other notes from the start of tonight's Padres/Dodgers game: Jackie Chan threw out the 1st pitch to Andruw Jones. Jones looked gigantic next to Chan. Either Chan is really small or Jones is a monster. Raphael Furcal lead-off with a HR. Juan Pierre followed with a first-pitch slap bunt to third for the 1st out of the game. Andre Ethier is batting third. &...

Bench Johjima!
2008-04-12 12:19:00 (Before you make any assumptions, this post has nothing to do with Johjima's early season struggles.)Kenji Johjima is a very good offensive catcher and is also among the best in the league at throwing out wannabe basestealers. Other than those two things, what is the benefit of having him around? Does he even deserve to be Seattle's starting catcher?Seattle signed Joh-K prior to the 2006 season in order to bring some much needed offensive stability to the position. He has done a very good job in that regard, and is one of the top offensive catchers in the American League behind guys like Joe Mauer, Victor Martinez, Jorge Posada and Ivan Rodriguez. While he is succeeding in the job he was brought in to do, it's something he's not doing that should make him a candidate to lose his job. Simply put, Johjima isn't the best signal caller on the team.Opponents hit .272 against Felix Hernandez when caught by Johjima, but only .243 when backup Jaime Burke is behind the plate or .209 whe...
