It is all but certain there will be no salary arbitration hearings this year for the first time since the process began in 1974.

Mets Expected To Target Shin Soo Choo - RealGM Wiretap
The New York Mets have been linked to Shin-Soo Choo as a potential offseason target before, but the chatter has increased as of late.


"Hearing Choo is the guy they like," said one rival executive last week.

A Mets official close to Sandy Alderson's thinking agreed: "I'm hearing that, too."


New York really likes Choo Vincent Kompany Manchester City Jersey , his .425 on-base percentage and 20 home runs, but they are also aware of a potential bidding war for his services.
He is represented by Scott Boras.

?? Closing your eyes, you reach down and spin the little booklet around on the table before you, taking care not to tear it; the paper won't take rough
handling. Finally stopping, you straighten it out before you. Stretching out
your right arm, and letting your wrist hang loose, you point downward with your
index finger, curling your other fingers back out of the way. Finally Sergio Aguero Manchester City Jersey , eyes still closed, your lower your stiffened arm till your finger touches the paper; and opening your eyes you look
at the small chart of jumbled numbers to see what you've chosen.

===> History of the Tablets

The "Tablets of Fate" are an oracle first produced as chap-books in the late 17th century. Chap-books were among the first examples
of printed works for the common people. Made up in large quantities and printed
on the cheapest grade of rag paper, these little 4 x 6 inch pamphlets were the
dime novels of their day. They were sold in shops and stalls in the city
markets, and then bought and resold by peddlers to the villages and hamlets of
Europe.

These peddlers would carry small cheap goods they could buy and resell from their packs as they traveled. In the vernacular of the day they were
called chap-men, buyers and sellers of cheapened goods. Hence, the booklets they
sold acquired the name chap-books.

The thing to remember is that the "Tablets of Fate" were among the first writings commonly available. Wither they
are a true oracle, or just a parlor game, their history is as old as playing
cards.

===> Methodology

The idea behind the oracle is simple. Each "Tablet" represents a different category of questions that will fall into a
common group of answers. A tablet is created Raheem Sterling Manchester City Jersey , consisting of 16 numbers jumbled in an odd arrangement in roughly equal areas of the page. They can be in a
square (Tablet of Venus), a circle (Tablet of the Moon), or a diamond shape
(Tablet of Jupiter) so long as the area that encloses each number is roughly
equal on the page. Then a table of Responses is prepared covering a range of
possible answers. The "Tablets of Fate" call for 32 responses, 16 numbers with
both an upright and a reversed meaning.

You would seek your answer by placing the chart with the "Tablet" in front of you and turning it randomly to
set it's direction, upright or reversed. Then you'd use your finger, a small
stick, or a pencil held in your hand to randomly pick your
answer.

===> Known Tablets of Fate

The following Tablets can be found in several sources under different names.

Tablet of the Sphinx == Usually consulted first to determine if the time is right to ask your
question. If you receive a favorable answer in the Tablet of the Sphinx, you
would go on to the next tablet.

===> Modern Printings of the Oracle

The most complete version of the "Tablets of Fate" that I've found were printed in "The Complete
Fortune Teller" by Diana Hawthorne (Blue Ribbon Books, Inc., New York, 1940),
and in an English printing of the same book "Laurie's Complete Fortune Teller"
by Diana Hawthorn (W and G Foyle, Ltd Nicolas Otamendi Manchester City Jersey , London. 1946). A copy of the English edition was recently put up for sale on E-bay and still shows up in the
search engines. These are obviously out of print at this time.

A more modern version can be found in (2) books: "Little Giant Encyclopedia of Lucky
Numbers" by The Diagram Group (Sterling Publishing 2001), and "Little Giant
