SUNDAY, June 17 (HealthDay News) -- A few simple changes in how people grill outdoors, such as avoiding too much beef or processed meats and not charring foods, can aid in cancer prevention, according to an expert.
. safely:
Add color (but not red meat). By cutting back on red meat and grilling a wider variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, people will increase their intake of phytochemicals. These naturally occurring compounds found in plants offer protection against cancer, Bender said. She suggested grilling vegetables like asparagus, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant and corn on the cob, which can be grilled whole, in chunks or in a basket. When grilling fruits, she noted, brush them with olive oil so they won't stick. Bender added that fruits should be grilled a day or two before they are completely ripe so they retain their texture.
Mix it up. Opt for chicken or fish instead of hamburgers or hotdogs.
Marinate. Marinating meat reduces the formation of HCAs, Bender advised. Marinating meats in seasoned vinegar or lemon juice for even just 30 minutes can be beneficial, she noted.
Pre-cook (partially). Pre-cooking meat will reduce the amount of time it spends exposed to high heat on the grill and reduce the formation of HCAs. Bender cautioned that partially pre-cooked meats should be transferred from the kitchen to the grill right away.
Cook slowly. By grilling meats slowly at a lower heat, they are less likely to burn or char. Bender said this will reduce the amount of HCAs and PAHs that end up on people's plates.
Bender added that visible fat should be trimmed off meats to avoid high flames or flare-ups, and that any charred portions of meat should also be cut off.
More information
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has more about grilling safety.

Weekend Forecast: Friday demands that you establish firm boundaries with yourself and others. If not, you could wind up knee-deep (and resentful) in commitments you’re simply not interested in fulfilling. Don’t let yourself become a victim of emotional manipulation, especially with people who know where your soft spot lies. With your heart of gold, Leo, you’ll probably want to lend an assist, but make sure it’s not at your own expense. If you wind up suffering so someone else can prosper, you’re making way too big a sacrifice. Don’t go there! On Saturday, the moon moves into Leo for the remainder of the weekend, restoring your joie de vivre. Venture beyond your regular stomping grounds and quench your thirst for the new and unexplored. Do you have time to travel? Throw together an overnight bag and snag a last-minute deal to visit a dear friend in another city, or gather your BFFs for a road trip with no specific destination in mind. If you need to stay closer to home base, reserve Saturday night for socializing. Be it a pizza and movie night at your place, belting out tunes at your favorite karaoke bar or taking a group snowboarding lesson, you’ll be at your best surrounded by an optimistic and active crew. With the full moon in Leo on Sunday, you feel at the top of your game…and others will definitely take notice. You might even be publicly recognized for your talents in the coming two weeks, so make sure you’re “camera-ready” at all times. Sunday is also prime time to make a bold request, one that kind of makes your knees shake. One caveat: You’ll have to give people time to process your larger-than-life idea. Be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

Who Do You Think You Are?
May 21, 2012
For Mother's Day this year, I made my mom a "Mother Tree" in cross-stitch. It traces the maternal line of the family back to 1754, through each marriage and birth of a daughter. And, I could never have done it without the genealogy resources at the Library.
Ancestry Library Edition (free on the public computers at the Library) is a great way to get started. The information is well organized, easily accessed, and absolutely addicting. Once you see your great-grandmother's marriage certificate or your several times great-grandfather's will, you'll be hooked. I know I was. I learned amazing things: that my great-great-great-grandmother and my grandmother both married men named Alfred John (what are the odds?), that most of the family was here before the Revolutionary War with a few latecomers from England and (who knew?) Denmark.
HeritageQuest Online filled in some of the missing links and also provided more detail. It's a searchable database of family and local history books, plus census and Revolutionary War records. I particularly like the local history books. They offer a wealth of personal detail and fill in the life behind the name. Marriages and remarriages, work and club histories, public offices and property held--it's all there. The military records were a revelation, too. Several of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, and one fought for both sides!
Mom loved the gift, by the way. But I feel like I got the better present--a historical novel filled with great characters. That I happen to be the latest chapter is the best part.

Macedonia-based artist Vasko Taškovski finds inspiration from horses to produce surreal fantasies. Using an array of vivid colors and varying landscapes, the painter transforms the ordinary creature into a robust yet agile stallion. Most fascinating about Taškovski's creations are the constructs and forms of the equestrian subjects.

Our friends are always asking if we’ve made progress in the kid’s room. No wonder. The move was two years ago, which means Bix has spent nearly half his life in a mess. So we tackled his room first, hoping to create a calm, fun place away from the remodeling storm. I like the result. But I’m also conflicted about it. Argh.
Starting with what we already had
Luckily, we moved in with most of the stuff we used, including mandatory KidKraft train table, some chairs, and the drawers and bookcases David built when Bix was a baby…
I see the drawers need a little readjusting but you get the idea. We used Sunflower Seed Board from Van Beek’s in Michigan. Here’s a closer look…
It’s an eco-friendly MDF made from pressed sunflower seed hulls. LEED-certified, no formaldehyde, no outgassing. Finished in a simple water-based poly. Makes us feel good.
David had made the drawer fronts using a laminate we thought was fun enough for a kid but easy to like as an adult…
We debated about the environmental friendliness of laminate and decided that because drawers see a lot of grimy little fingers and can take a beating that the sunflower board can’t (without getting chipped, that is), it made sense.
Attack of the madwoman with a paintbrush
Before we could hang the furniture on the wall above the heaters, I had to scrape off the babyish wallpaper border that went all around the room, prep the walls and paint.
To encourage drawing, I decided on kid-height chalkboard walls around the perimeter. I taped off the space…
Used a dab of caulk along the bottom of the painter’s tape for a nice, clean edge. Then filled in my lines with four or five layers of chalkboard paint to make it extra durable.
I was hoping to tie the chalkboard to artwork we commissioned our friend Ryan Lesser to make a few years ago (click to biggify if you care to)…
Those are a few more characters by Ryan.
I brought the tentacles around the corner and over onto the adjoining wall behind the door…
I maybe went a little overboard carrying the “bubbles” look from the laminate onto the wall…
I used high gloss paint in various tints of white (some bluish, some greyish, some super white, etc.) on top of a matte oatmealy white. The anal part: I used round container lids in three sizes, dipped them into the paint and then pressed them onto the wall. Looks good when the light hits it. David thinks it’s too busy. Just wait, it gets much busier.
Bunk bed in a closet
The dressers are more than adequate storage for the wardrobe of a 5-year-old — with plenty of room for toys, too. His closet was wasted space, so we decided it was a smart spot to fit a bunkbed with storage underneath. Great for sleepovers someday, or the occasional guest.
In order to be twin-bed length and last Bix well into his teens, we needed to make the space a little longer…
David extended the closet space by about 6″ and added some serious mass loaded vinyl sound-proofing to the walls. The occasional mid-construction reading break was called for…
Then he put in new drywall and spots for lights for both bunks.
He drilled crazy long wood screws into the studs for extra support.
Hang on a sec and I’ll show you the finished bed. Keep your pants on.
Paint overload
Building out the closet ruined the edge of my paintjob. No biggie. Easily camouflaged with a little sanding and some paint in a contrasting pattern to trick the eye. I did a color study using various shades from around the room — Benjamin Moore zero-VOC Natura paint so I could feel reasonably okay about sticking to our eco-friendly principles…
First, I taped off a floor-to-ceiling strip for magnetic paint (not so eco-friendly, I’m sure). The Ben Mo’ semi-gloss can go right over the top to dress it up, so I taped off cubes to echo the Ikea paper lamp hanging in the opposite corner…
So the result?
I matched bunk bed walls to the aqua in the bookcases. The magnetic strip brings in all the colors of the room. Recovered the shade of the West Elm lamp I picked up for half price. I’m liking how circles vs. squares turned out.
Aqua pillowcases from Area we already had. Added the illustratey one and cushy flannel sheets from Garnet Hill. Organic blanket and a quilt picked up at West Elm. Roll pillow half price from Unison. Sales rawk.
The underbed drawers we stole from one of the dismantled dressers David made for Bix’s baby room. As Bix gets older, we could decide to pull out the bottom bunk and put in a desk. Or add a clothing rod under the top bunk. It’s a very flexible space. And the whole thing could easily become a closet again if need be.
Pillows from two great etsy sellers: Spruce Home who works in some great vintage fabrics and Alexandra Ferguson who uses 100% post-consumer recycled felt. A nice comfy back for a little storytime action.
Shins “monster” art from Tad Carpenter...
Such a paint addict — I thought it needed a border. As a side note, that’s not glass inside the frame. It’s plexi. Globe lights are also plastic and not glass. Just in case, ya know.
Barrel found at PB Teen at a get-it-outta-here discount of 75% (years ago, sorry). So many uses but for now, all things stuffed.
On the way over to the book nook…
New painting by Trish Grantham and Frank Kozik figures from Kid Robot over the dresser.
A grassy knoll pillow for reading, repurposed from the living area.
We bridged the space between bookshelves with cheap Ikea corner shelves, which added even more storage.
Vintage Fisher Price “little people” toys collection. Thanks, eBay. I always wanted an A-frame.
Mechagodzilla and Godzilla — gifts from Bix’s friends “the Godzilla girls.”
Bix’s true love: his dino shelf.
Vintage Fisher Price record player came with six “records.” Priming him to be a DJ from a very young age. eBay.
Ancient Fisher Price “radio” still works. eBay. I’m getting repetitive, sorry.
The Seuss section.
Godzilla feet from Toho for stomping through the house.
On the other dresser, a leaning Charles S. Anderson poster hides a hideous air conditioner. Dated ’89, although I picked it up at a paper show in Houston years after that. It’s a French Paper sample Bix insists he must have in his room because up above King Kong…
there’s a tiny Godzilla. I cannot deny him.
Gremlins on the crappy eBay turntable that came with about a zillion records to add to those we already had.
And now we’re back to the corner where we started! Only now somebody’s appreciating the joys of vinyl. Good boy.
What’s left undone
Still to come: the ladder and top railing for the bunk bed, replacement baseboard and trim here and there…
a wood ceiling (to cover the popcorn ceiling) and wood floor. Can’t wait to get rid of that hideous toxic carpet, too.
Why I’m conflicted
Had really hoped this room would be super “green,” seeing as it’s our child’s room. Sustainable materials, great. Completely thrilled with the organic mattresses — beautifully made and comfy. Eco-conscious paints, very good, but so much paint, right? And it amazes me the shizzload of plastic in this room! On the one hand, much of it’s vintage — we’re keeping plastic out of the landfill, yay. On the other hand, it’s still plastic. Oy.
So I give myself an 85% on achieving my goals for Bix’s room. Granted, I’m a harsh grader.
Orrin made Bix a Valentine. So cute. Thanks, Orrin!

Wow! Wow! Wow!! This is terrific, I’ve been in here and I still find this fascinating and lovely to see. Thanks for the guided tour. Love your work and your good self, Mama.
aww, thanks Story! the “cobbled together” aesthetic seems to be working for us. I just wish we had more rooms like Bix’s where we could hang out with friends like you. someday. *sigh*

Make Print Personal
Simple or complex, help your customers get the most out of their print marketing campaigns.
Personalization can be very complex or pretty simple. It can be effective or ineffective. It can be print-only or multi-media. In other words, the term covers a lot of territory.
On the complex, print-only side, Kroger tracks all of our purchases. It induces us to let them track our buying habits by offering gasoline discounts when we purchase a certain dollar amount of groceries each month. Periodically, we receive in the mail a printed booklet with coupons offering discounts on the sort of stuff we buy regularly. This involves very complex database tracking and personalized four-color printing. It is highly effective.
On the simple, print-only side, from time to time I receive printed offers addressed to Box S. Hall. At one time or another, a company I did business with entered my name into a database with that spelling. That particular database is being repeatedly sold to firms which think my presence on the original database makes it somewhat likely that I will be interested in a similar product or service. This sort of personalization involves an assumption and a simple mailing list that is incorrect and, therefore, ineffective.
Only as Good as the Data
As you can see, no matter whether the effort is simple or complex, personalization is not possible without good data. Judy Berlin, director of worldwide marketing for XMPie recommends that printers recruit someone familiar with working with databases. “The data quality is important to success,” she says. “Whatever is variable and associated with each recipient must be clean, de-duped, and accurate.”
Roger Buck, director of marketing at The Flesh Company agrees on the importance of having good data and the need to work with customers to build a workable database for any personalization campaign. “Printers must understand the interview process that must occur to gather the necessary information,” he says. “Where is the data kept? How complete is it? What data is needed? What data is missing? How will they capture the data? What’s the timeline for securing the data? What will it cost? How will they segment the target base?”
A database can consist of something as simple as names and addresses or something as complex as past buying habits or preferences. Berlin says print campaigns can be augmented “with e-media components such as email, Web, and other media,” which would require a different data set.
“Once the preferred channel is selected, deciding how to personalize the message itself must be determined,” says Pitney Bowes vice president of Mail Finishing Chris Giles. “Today there are hardware and software solutions that allow for personalization to be added to the outside of the envelope, the message itself, and even auto triggered based on the customer’s behavior, response, or preference.”
Where can printers look to find these solutions? QP columnist John Giles (no relation) says there is “a wealth of videos on YouTube that give instructions on how to handle almost any VDP or personalization situation. “He also suggests checking out Adobe’s website for step-by-step instructions for creating personalized documents using InDesign. Also, most major vendors of digital print production hardware and variable software have personalization resources their customers can use. XMPie’s Customer 1to1 Business Development program is one such resource. So is Pitney Bowes website.
Walk the Walk
It is pretty obvious that, while the idea of personalization is appealing, the reality is that it is much more complex and demanding than setting up a simple mail merge. It takes work and many printers either cannot or will not put in the effort to acquire the skills needed to offer personalization as a product to their customers. Those who do, however, need to figure out how to sell the benefits and realities of a personalized campaign.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Park has long featured a herd of bison in their own fenced-in paddock.
Apparently Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Yammer CEO David Sacks are fans. They and their spouses have donated to support the animals, Bloomberg's Mark Milian reports.
In September, Financial Times reporter Tim Bradshaw noticed a sign recognizing the financial support of Mayer and her husband, tech investor Zack Bogue.
Bradshaw tells us he later saw the sign a bit worse for wear, having "taken a beating."
Weird. Who dislikes bison?
The San Francisco Parks Alliance, a nonprofit which helps support the city's parks, recognized Mayer and Bogue as a "First Family" and David and Jacqueline Sacks as "Park Heroes."
The "First Family" level requires a donation of at least $20,000, while $2,500 or more gets "Park Hero" status.
We also noticed that Yahoo executive Adam Cahan, who was recently promoted to be Yahoo's senior vice president of mobile and emerging products as a key member of Mayer's team, attended a Party for the Parks event in September.

I also got some of the same books this week. Some fantastic books out there!
Enjoy
Definitely, it’s been a great year for books so far I think! I can’t wait to see what develops as the year goes on! Thanks for stopping in
Seeing so many Eternity Cures this week!! Read that just this past week and LOVED it! Hope you both enjoy them all!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower
Oh yaya! Glad to hear you loved it! I was excited it was up on Netgalley, had to snag it right away
Have a fantastic week!
A lovely haul this week. I’ve seen alot of those everywhere.
Hope you enjoy your new goodies
Thanks! Yeah I think a lot of these books are going around
Have a great week!
Gameboard of the Gods! I was so excited to be approved for that one, as well. I love Richelle Mead, though I still need to read the spin-off series from the Vampire Academy series. I have ALL the books and just need to start! I loved Adrian, so I’m expecting them to be good!
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first book in that Julie Kagawa series, but I hope you both like the book … it’s definitely been getting some great exposure! And the first book got plenty of great reviews!
Have a great week, ladies!
Ahhhh YES You so need to read Bloodlines!!! *jumps up and down* YES, if you love Adrian (so do I, even more after reading Bloodlines) you’ll love the spin off series!
Yeah, I’m hoping The Eternity Cure is as least as good as the first book. It’s always a toss up though, sometimes I think it’s better to leave great books stand-a-lones, instead of a series. But then they can’t torture us with awful cliffhangers either
Have a great week too, happy reading!
The eternity cure! You guys are so lucky. I really hope Netgalley accepts me, because I’m dying to read it. The immortal rules rocked
Happy reading!
I hope you get it too Mel!! I agree, The Immortal Rules was amazingtastic! I can’t wait to see how the story develops! Crossing my fingers you get accepted!
I’m so jealous of The Eternity Cure! I can’t wait to check it out! I hope you enjoy everything you got this week!
My IMM
Yay, The Eternity Cure! I sneaked a peak at the first chapter last week, and it’s a pretty intense opener, I hope you both enjoy
The Eternity Cure???
GET.
OUT!

Five days after the nation’s latest senseless mass school shooting, Americans are still having great difficulty resolving that question.
Immediately after Friday’s horrific rampage in which 20 precious little children and six courageous adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., many parents of schoolchildren were justifiably worried.
Some area schools received threats and others made the decision to lock down campuses as a precautionary measure and allow parents to come pick up their children early.
Clergy members of the Beeville Ministerial Alliance hosted a prayer vigil Tuesday evening at the First United Methodist Church, allowing community members to come together and mourn those killed as “a show of strong ecumenical support.”
Pastor Larry McRorey said, “Violence does not discriminate on the basis of sex, age, color, affiliation or denomination.”
What a tragic time for such evil to appear. Instead of preparing for Santa’s arrival and the opening of Christmas presents, families, friends and supporters in that small Connecticut town began holding and attending funerals for those innocent victims.
And while politicians grapple with whether our country needs to enact tougher gun control measures, better means to deal with mental illness or to reduce the amount of graphic violence on the movie screens and video games, we can only point to one answer.
As we count down the final days before Christmas, we believe this nation needs heaping helpings of Jesus.
Emmanuel, or “God with us,” became a reality for believers more than 2,000 years ago in a Bethlehem stable.
God is love, the Bible tells us so, and He showed His incredible love for us, his children, through the birth (and later death) of His Son, Jesus Christ. See John 3:16.
Years ago the Beatles sang “All You Need is Love,” and they were partially right. We would hasten to add, “All You Need is the Love of Jesus.”
For weeks now, we have suggested ways for Bee County residents to get in the Christmas spirit by giving back to their neighbors in our community. Most of those opportunities, originating as a response to the many blessings God has provided, have now wrapped up for another year.
Yet there’s one more chance for people to connect, or reconnect, with the true meaning of Christmas. Check our newspaper listings and call or go visit a church, any church, in our community to discover what special services are being hosted.
Live nativities, pageants and traditional candlelight services with the familiar carols will bring great joy for one and all.
This world has become so impersonal, from the Internet to texting. It would do us all immense good to relearn and remember Jesus’ teachings: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
If we, as parents, grandparents and other adults, would return with our families to the church and Jesus, we would build a strong foundation of faith that would withstand all of life’s trials and tribulations.
And America would witness far fewer of these needless tragedies.
– Chip Latcham

* Supervise socializing: Letting your dog interact with other animals is an essential part of responsible pet ownership. However, at the adolescent stage,, it is probably time to discuss spaying or neutering with your vet. Not only can these procedures help correct some hormonally driven bad habits, they will also prevent unwanted litters of new puppies.

According to UT officials, the school received a phoned-in threat at about 8:35 a.m. from a man claiming to be with al-Qaida that bombs had been placed throughout the campus.
The campus was reopened at noon after school officials said all buildings were cleared. Classes were cancelled for the rest of the day.

The addition of a couple of girls from basketball helped open things up for the Lady Trojans. Victoria Elizalde took advantage of the Southside defense to slip four goals into the net for Beeville. Heather McKinney added two, and Tori Munoz, also back from the hardcourt, contributed one goal. Assists were from Kennedy Trevino, Heather McKinney with two, Elizalde and MacKenzie Harvey.
The Trojan girls led comfortably throughout and took a 5-0 lead into the halftime break. The Beeville girls added two more goals in the second 40-minute half to ice the win.
“We played with more intensity and with an overall better attitude. We still have a little ways to go, but it was a much better attitude and overall performance on Friday,” said head coach Don Ledesma.
“Every game we play from here on out will be the most important game of season as we try to stay in the district race.”
The Lady Trojans played Harlandale on Tuesday night in San Antonio. The Beeville girls will return to Veterans Memorial Stadium on Friday at 5:30 p.m. to tackle Floresville in the first game of the second round of District 57-4A play.

At their first meeting, the newly established Lee County Community Foundation discussed donations to the Lee County Animal Shelter
LEESBURG, GA -- A committee was formed in Lee County to help manage donations and gifts that are meant for area non-profits.
At its first meeting Thursday afternoon, board members of the Lee County Community Foundation appointed officers and reviewed donations the Lee County Animal Shelter has received.
“They just wanted to get together to find out now that we've got the 501c3 some of the donations we've got in, what we've done with the money that we've gotten, how much we've incurred and what can we do to try to get more people involved and donating more now that we’re 503c3,” says Michael Sistrunk, Board Member and Lee County Public Works Director.
The public works director says the shelter has received nearly $300,000 in monetary donations thus far and hundreds of pounds worth of dog and cat food.
Shelter officials say it costs up to $25 for cat and dog medications that must be administered when animals come in so they’re ready to adopt.
The Lee County Community Foundation meets quarterly; their next meeting will be in three months.

1. A daughter of the Theban soothsayer Teiresias. She herself was a prophetess, first of the Ismenian Apollo at Thebes, where monuments of her existed (Paus. ix. 10. § 3), and subsequently of the Delphian and Clarian Apollo. After the taking of Thebes by the Epigoni, she, with other captives, was dedicated to Apollo at Delphi. The god sent the captives to Asia, where they founded the sanctuary of Apollo not far from the place where afterwards the town of,Colophon was built. Rhacius, a Cretan, who had settled there before, married Manto, and be came by her the father of Mopsus. (Apollod. iii. 7.§ 4; Paus. vii. 3. § 1, ix. 33. § 1; Strab. ix. p. 443; Schol. ad Apollon. i. 908.) According to Euripides, she had previously become the mother of Amphilochus and Tisiphone, by Alcmaeon, the leader of the Epigoni. (Apollod. iii. 7. § 7.) Being a prophetess of Apollo, she is also called Daphne, i. e. the laurel virgin. (Diod. iv. 66; comp. Athen. vii. p. 298.) [See also SIBYLLA.]
2. A daughter of the soothsayer Polyeidus, and sister of Astycrateia. The tombs of these two sisters were shown at Megara, near the entrance of the sanctuary of Dionysus. (Paus. i. 43. § 5.)
3. A daughter of Heracles, is likewise described as a prophetess, and as the personage from whom the town of Mantua received its name. (Serv. ad Aen. x. 198.)

A son of Poeas (whence he is called Poeantiades, Ov. Met. xiii. 313) and Demonassa, the most celebrated archer in the Trojan war (Hom. Od. iii. 190, viii. 219 ; Hygin. Fab. 102). He led the warriors from Methone, Thaumacia, Meliboea, and Olizon, against Troy, in seven ships. But on his voyage thither he was left behind by his men in the island of Lemnos, because he was ill of a wound which he had received from the bite of a snake, and Medon, the son of Oïleus and Rhene, undertook the command of his men (Hom. Il. ii. 716, &c.). This is all that the Homeric poems relate of him, with the addition that he returned home in safety (Od. iii. 190); but the cyclic and tragic poets have spun out in various ways this slender groundwork of the story of Philoctetes. He is said to have been the disciple, friend, and armour-bearer of Heracles (Philostr. Imag. 17), who instructed him in the art of using the bow, and who bequeathed to him his bow, with the never-erring poisoned arrows (Philostr. Her. 5). These presents were a reward for his having erected and set fire to the pile on mount Oeta, where Heracles burnt himself (Diod. iv. 38; Hygin. Fab. 36; Ov. Met. ix. 230, &c.). According to others, however, it was Poeas, Morsimus, Hyllus, or Zeus himself who performed that service to Heracles (Apollod. ii. 7. § 7; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 50; Soph. Trach. in fin.). Philoctetes also was one of the suitors of Helen, and, according to some traditions, it was this circumstance that obliged him to take part in the Trojan war (Apollod. iii. 10. § 8). On his journey thither, while staying in the island of Chryse, he was bitten by a snake. This misfortune happened to him as he was showing to the Greeks the altar of Athena Chryse, and approached too near to the serpent which was guarding the temple of the goddess (Soph. Phil. 1327; Philostr. Imag. 17; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 330; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911), or while he was looking at the tomb of Troilus in the temple of Apollo Thymbraeus, or as he was showing to his companions the altar of Heracles (Philostr. l. c. ; Schol. ad Soph. Phil. 266), or lastly during a sacrifice which Palamedes offered to Apollo Smintheus (Dict. Cret. ii. 14). Hera, it is said, was the cause of this misfortune, being enraged at Philoctetes having performed the above-mentioned service to Heracles (Hygin. Fab. 102), though some related that the snake's bite was the consequence of his not having returned the love of the nymph Chryse (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911). According to some accounts, moreover, the wound in his foot was not inflicted by a serpent, but by his own poisoned arrows (Serv. ad Aen. iii. 402). The wound is said to have become ulcerated, and to have produced such an intolerable smell, and such intolerable pains, that the moanings of the hero alarmed his companions. The consequence was, that on the advice of Odysseus, and by the command of the Atreidae, he was exposed and left alone on the solitary coast of Lemnos (Ov. Met. xiii. 315; Hygin. Fab. 102). According to some he was there left behind, because the priests of Hephaestus in Lemnos knew how to heal the wound (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 330), and Pylius, a son of Hephaestus, is said to have actually cured him (Ptolem. Heph. 6), while, according to others, he was believed to have died of the wound (comp. Paus. i. 22. § 6). According to the common tradition, the sufferer remained in Lemnos during the whole period of the Trojan war, until in the tenth year Odysseus and Diomedes came to him as ambassadors, to inform him that an oracle had declared that without the arrows of Heracles Troy could not be taken. The tradition which represents him as having been cured, adds that while the war against Troy was going on, he, in conjunction with Euneus, conquered the small islands about the Trojan coast, and expelled their Carian inhabitants. As a reward for these exploits he received a part of Lemnos, which he called Acesa (from akeomai, I heal), and at the request of Diomedes and Neoptolemus, he then proceeded to Troy to decide the victory by his arrows (Philostr. Her. 5; comp. Hygin. Fub. 102; Q. Smyrn. ix. 325, 460; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911; Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. i. 100). According to the common story, however, Philoctetes was still suffering when the ambassadors arrived, but he nevertheless followed their call. After his arrival before Troy, Apollo sent him into a profound sleep, during which Machaon (or Podalirius, or both, or Asclepius himself) cut out the wound, washed it with wine, and applied healing herbs to it (Tzetz. ad Lyc. l. c.; Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. i. 109; Propert. ii. 1. 61; Q. Smym. x. 180; Soph Phil. 133, 1437). Philoctetes was thus cured. and soon after slew Paris, whereupon Troy fell into the hands of the Greeks (Soph. Phil. 1426 ; Apollod. iii. 12. § 6; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 64; Hygin. Fab. 112; Conon, Narr. 23). On his return from Troy he is said to have been cast upon the coast of Italy, where he settled, and built Petelia and Crimissa. In the latter place he founded a sanctuary of Apollo Alaeus, to whom he dedicated his bow (Strab. vi. p. 254; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911 ; Serv. ad Aen. iii. 402). Afterwards a band of Rhodians also came to Italy, and as they became involved in war with the colonists from Pallene, Philoctetes assisted the Rhodians, and was slain. His tomb and sanctuary, in which heifers were sacrificed to him, were shown at Macalla. (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911, 927.)

ooo I forgot something... I recently recompiled back to 4k stacks and optimized the kernel for the Athlon since the latest Nvidia drivers are good with 4k stacks. I now can decode and scale full bandwidth 1080i with XvMC (FX5200) and not skip too much on the OSD... and the machine is only an XP2000(1.7Ghz).. even if you have the CPU it's worth it to optimize the kernel for your chips, gives a little breathing room.... I have a microATX Mobile XP 2600 build for this weekend. -anthony.vito

In other words, it processes the signal and does not pass it through. Evidence of this can be seen in the conf file if the bit rate is defined. If alsa was just passing the spdif bitstream through, it wouldn't know or want the bit rate defined in the file as it will be different depending on the source, DVD or ATSC. I have also read that alsa does not do a very good job of encoding the audio so you have a loss of quality. As my goal is to get the best spdif audio quality possible, I bypass alsa and use alsa:spdif as the default output device and remove asound.conf. That said, I would love to have both spdif and analog output at the same time. I believe my Azilia sound chip has the hardware to do this but I don't know how to access this capability. I believe that would be a sound driver setting in other words, at lower level lower than alsa or myth. Comments? Allen

For what it's worth, my SATA drives are also seen as /dev/sd[a-f] and can be controlled using hdparm. Specifically, hdparm -S does indeed work. That's on stock Ubuntu 7.10, which uses a kernel derived from 2.6.22.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Tevin King ran for 112 yards and three touchdowns as he helped lift the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to a 56-49 shootout victory over the Houston Cougars in non-conference action at Robertson Stadium.
King carried the ball 13 times for the Bulldogs (1-0), who had their season- opener against Texas A&M postponed due to Hurricane Isaac, as the team rolled up 245 rushing yards and five total touchdowns on the ground. Quarterback Colby Cameron converted 34-of-52 passes for 353 yards and three TDs as well.
The Cougars (0-2) were paced by David Piland who let loose with 77 passing attempts, hitting on 53, for 580 yards and four touchdowns in the setback. Dewayne Peace and Charles Sims both caught 11 balls, the former turning his into 141 yards and one score. Daniel Spencer reeled in seven passes for a game-high 157 yards and a TD.
Needing just three plays to march 44 yards, the Bulldogs posted the first points of the night as King crossed the goal line from 13 yards away. The Bulldogs scored their second touchdown of the evening at the 9:40 mark as the quick-strike offense marched down the field and into the end zone on a nine-yard run by King.
Houston broke through later in the first frame as kicker Matt Hogan knocked through a 30-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 14-3.
Following a stalled drive that was crippled by offensive penalties, Hogan answered the bell for the Cougars once again as he converted a 42-yard field goal with under two minutes remaining in the first.
Early in the second quarter LaTech added to the lead when Cameron connected with Jon Greenwalt on a six-yard scoring strike to make the score 21-6.
Later in the period the Cougars made their first appearance in the end zone thanks to a 32-yard touchdown reception by Ronnie Williams which made the score 21-13 with 4:28 to play before the half.
Houston cut the lead to just a single point with less than a minute remaining before the break as Sims scored on a two-yard run.
Coming out of intermission, LaTech put up back-to-back rushing touchdowns of 59 and two yards by King and Kenneth Dixon, respectively, to lift the visitors to a 35-20 lead.
Bulldogs running back Ray Holley posted a two-yard TD run of his own later in the third, but that was only after Piland hooked up with Spencer on a thrilling 74-yard TD pass play. Heading into the final 15 minutes the Bulldogs maintained a 42-27 advantage.
With a short field Louisiana Tech needed just two plays to come up with yet another touchdown, this time on an eight-yard pass from Cameron to Hunter Lee, extending the Bulldogs lead to 49-27 and seemingly out of reach.
However, the Cougars refused to give in as Sims finished off a 12-play, 75- yard drive with a one-yard TD and the squad closed the gap even more with a successful two-point conversion.
Then again, Tech was quick to respond with a 75-yard drive of its own, capped by a 14-yard TD pass from Cameron to R.P. Stuart to make it a three-touchdown difference yet again at 56-35.
Piland and the Cougars continued to chip away in the waning moments, the signal-caller hooking up with Peace on a seven-yard TD pass play and Deontay Greenberry with a 12-yard scoring strike, the latter coming with just 35 seconds remaining.
The teams combined for 1,291 yards of total offense, but Houston hurt itself with 15 penalties which amounted to 138 yards of lost field position.
The Cougars, losers to Texas State (30-13) in the opener last week, led the nation in total offense (599.1 ypg) and scoring (49.3 ppg) a season ago. Following the loss to the Bobcats, Houston offensive coordinator Mike Nesbitt resigned, the position subsequently being passed to Travis Bush.

I go through hand/body lotion like nobody I know. The thing is - (as much as I LOVE lotion) it's usually not me that makes the lotion disappear so fast. I seem to be going through one of those big Bath & Body Works bottles every 2-3 weeks, and most of it is used by my co-workers.
While people are waiting to talk to me (another post on that at a later date!) they either moisturize or raid my candy jar... or both.
Is it bad that they guys are making requests for lotion that smells less girly? And anybody got any ideas on how to sneak lotion onto my expense report? Just kidding...kinda. :-)
Another post later today...
I have a bottle of lotion on my desk, and my employees are always using it when they are talking to me. It bugs me like crazy! lol.
Thanks for stopping by this morning! Shame on you...I am now busy over at the website selling E.L.F. makeup instead of working! :)
No seriously, thanks for the heads up...WOW...$1.00...can't get better than that!
Hahahah that would drive me insane, but at least it is a huge compliment to you!!
This is why I keep mine IN my desk! (both lotion and candy)
I did a training once with a group of middle schoolers and had some BBW Vanilla Bean Noel lotion as a prize (meant for the girls). The boys went CRAZY over it! I mean, they were rubbing it all over their hands and arms, sniffing, and one boy even rubbed it in his hair. So strange!

Healthy.
re: Who Controls the School E-mail List?
In our district, the principal controls one list and the PTC controls another for the school. That way, there is no conflict - and both lists send info that is appropriate for their list. The source of emails for both lists is the school parent email database, and we ask for permission during the fall contact update period.

Study: Trade Protectionism Stifling IT Sector
Big emerging markets led by China are increasing protectionist measures in the tech sector, hurting one of the most dynamic parts of the global economy, a U.S. industry study said Wednesday.
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) report said the new trade barriers which discriminate against foreign information technology products and services are often disguised as measures to spur local innovation or to protect security.
The alliance said the trend is troubling because the developing markets are seeing the fastest growth in the IT sector but are shutting out a lot of goods and services from the U.S. and Europe.
"These barriers -- in China, India, Brazil, and elsewhere -- are having a contagion effect, emboldening other emerging markets to impose protectionist measures of their own," the report said.
"The global scope of the problem poses immediate and long-term threats to the IT industry and the broader global economy. These threats cannot be overstated or ignored."
The report noted that new personal computer sales in China already outstrip those of the United States, and Brazil recently became the third-largest market for PCs, overtaking Japan.
Robert Holleyman, chief executive of the alliance, told Agence France Presse these measures often show up in government procurement, which is the largest source of IT spending.
"Governments are the single largest purchasers of IT products in the world, and we are concerned when we see some governments stacking the deck," he said.
The impetus for some moves has been China's so-called domestic innovation policy, which favors domestic firms, Holleyman said. This often affects products which may be made in China but whose underlying design is owned by a U.S. firm.
"The existence of some of these policies in China provides a kind of safety net for other governments to think they will not be criticized if they adopt similar policies," Holleyman said.
He added that these policies "will not do what they were intended to do, they will not create innovation, they will allow home companies to be insulated from competition, and will only work in that one country."
The BSA report cited tariffs, technical standards, procurement and other policies in Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam and "burdensome security testing" in India which keeps out many foreign firms.
In the growing area of cloud computing, the report said, a number of nations are locking out foreign companies in order to ensure that data centers are housed within their borders.
Holleyman said the U.S. and Europe should press for open markets during bilateral discussions and within the World Trade Organization, encouraging more nations to sign the WTO agreement on procurement which opens up government bids to foreign competition.

I don’t have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don’t have any of the answers. I forget students names sometimes and say stupid things that hurt their feelings. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I have put the finishing touches on a Wednesday night Bible study on Wednesday more times than I can count. I don’t always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. I try every new youth ministry model that comes from the “experts” and I have had at least 3 mission statements over the past 5 years.
But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. Like I said, I’m an average youth pastor.
For over 10 years now I have been trying to add creative ideas for use in the local church. In the early days Nailscars.com was just a place to publish some scripts, but it has become a collection of creative ministry resources for youth ministry and worship.
I began writing a blog more to process my own thoughts more than anything else. As I started writing the comments that I got back from people amazed me. As I was honest with my struggles most of them would write and say “Thank you.” “It is just nice to know someone else struggles with these same things,” was a common response.
So this has become a place where I share the struggles and successes of being in youth ministry. I hope that you find something that God can use in your life and ministry.

true, but it makes for interesting post-mortem reading...
what other means do we have? Let's see there's the telephone, but it's
unicast. How about teevee, that's broadcast :)

Would anyone care to give some operational insight into the surge
of BGP routing instability this morning between appx 08:00 and 10:00
GMT? Turned on and off like a lightswitch, as seen from GRADUS
() -- we saw cleanly correlated and sustained
increases in the prefix announcement and withdrawal rates reported by
all GRADUS feeds during that window. --jim
p.s. By the way, we haven't seen the kind of sustained increase in
"maintenance cycle" routing instability that we were expecting after
the SNMP news broke. Some increase in the background noise, but nothing
major overall. Good job, guys :)

A TOWN WITHOUT A VOTE: MULTIMEDIA
>>IMAGE TOWN WITHOUT A VOTE, PART I: DOCUMENTS
A TOWN WITHOUT A VOTE, PART II: DOCUMENTS
A TOWN WITHOUT A VOTE, PART III: DOCUMENTS
AVE MARIA — Imagine my surprise when I looked at the front page of the Sunday Naples Daily News to see the headline “Ave Maria: A Town without a Vote – Now and Forever.” After all, I am the author of the law that created the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District being described – and that law was written expressly to protect the rights of future Ave Maria residents and to assure that residents would gain the majority of votes well before the town reaches sell-out.
Reading on, I noted that many of the assertions being made were based on files released from my office – including one internal memo written far before the law was even drafted that had no bearing on the ultimate law. Therefore, my comments on those documents do not apply to the Act as written. If I have confused the issue in any way, I apologize.
Furthermore, I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight.
The foundation of this entire series of articles is incorrect. It is true that the 61-page law that governs this District is complex so that those unaccustomed to dealing with these types of documents might become confused. However, it is clear on the issues of transition of voting control and the purpose of the government. This is what it says.. How rapidly control changes depends upon the rate of sales. This process is identical to those that are used in communities throughout our state. To review this part of the law, please go to, pull up the “Ave Maria Stewardship Community District Act”, Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida, and refer to Section 4, number (3)(c) on page 25.
2. The Ave Maria District in question has only one purpose: to manage the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure. The specification of the District’s limitations, duties and powers to use to carry out its purpose is in the Act, in Section 4, (9) beginning on page 35. The many purposes of County and other local governments, including law enforcement, fire control, zoning, and public schools, are held by Collier County government, the Sheriff, Fire Districts and the Collier County Public Schools.
Further, I must dispute that I wrote this law to assure that the developer would retain control of the District forever. That is an error of fact and law. In addition, the assertion that I purposefully “did not reveal the law’s implications to the legions of special interest groups, media, government staff members and politicians who reviewed it” is untrue. Ave Maria in general and this District in specific are among the most scrutinized in the history of Florida development, and I made every effort to assure that this law’s intent and content were disclosed to all those who were involved.
My client, Ave Maria Development, LLLP, has adhered consistently to the highest ethical standards. So have I. Our integrity should not be subject to baseless insinuations and observations.
As we approach celebrating the 65th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion on the beaches of Normandy in World War II, which saved western civilization and all of the constitutional rights we enjoy, we would be the first to observe that, among those rights, is freedom of the press in which we believe fervently. We also believe in the benefits of informed citizens with access to the truth, unfettered and clear, constituting a fundamental component of representative democracy. In that basic American context, I can assure the current and future residents of Ave Maria that their rights are well protected under this law. After all, that’s the way Ave Maria Development directed it be written, and that’s the way I wrote it.

Wait a minute.
How many acres are there included in the total property, and how many are retained by the Company, and how many will individuals own. If less than 50% are sold to homeowners than the Company will retain control forever.
Further explanation by this lawyer and rebuttal by NDN, where applicable, would be appreciated.
I usually find lawyers say what they are paid to say and make it sound good!!!

legal gobbely goop
he is doing just what he does best
distort the facts.
what the paper wrote about the percent coverage to achieve home rule is very believable.
if you were a developer (bad word) and you could get away with that control i'm sure every developer would do that. that is why laws are supposed to prevent that from happening. why else would he make it so long and difficult to understand.
flahill writes:
Bottom line is:
1) If you want to live in a cult-like environment dominated by Catholic beliefs, this is the place, but beware....
2) Be prepared to cough up extra money yearly for the underlying Community Development District. What a scam these CDDs are. Developer and investors are the beneficiary of CDDs and what happens when a CDD project fails, as many are in Florida. Who pays? Very serious advice to anyone interested in buying in Ave Maria....DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
sunalsorises writes:
The attorney says above:
."
But he does not dispute the NDN article's point that there are over 10,000 acres in the Stewardship Overlay Area of which about half are designated for development. So even if all 5,000 of the acres were fully sold to residents they still would not have more than half of the votes for the Stewardship board.
Additionally, nearly 1000 of the developable acres are held privately by the Ave Maria University Foundation.
The balance of the acres surrounding the town and not designated for development(5,000)plus the University parcels in the town(1,000) will always equal at least 60% of the total land under the stewardship.
The residents will never be able to control more than 40% of the votes. It does indeed appear that the land will be controlled into perpetuity by the developers and Monaghan.
chestercopperpot writes:
sunalsorises - if I understand this correctly, at buildout (which is estimated at 11,000 units in previous articles), the residents would have 11,000 votes. If your calculation is correct, at buildout, the developer would have 6,000 votes, one for each remaining acre. It seems clear the residents would have majority vote in advance of buildout.
ireadu writes:
Liam Dillon, you did a darn fine job.
Keep it up. Don't let the Gables or attorneys of this world bully you or your journalistic sense.
Great work! Get your Pulitzer clips ready.
sunalsorises writes:
copperpot-
Not quite. It is not 1 vote per unit. It is one vote per acre. Several units may be needed to equal one acre and therefore one vote. A unit less than an acre would receive a fraction of a vote.
"d) At the landowners meeting for the election of the members of the Board of Supervisors on a one-acre, one-vote basis..."... Last lines of page 25.
baje writes:
It is one vote per owner of a fraction of an acre. Therefore, each residential unit owner, as an owner of a fraction of an acre, has one vote (not a fraction of a vote). There will be multiple residential unit owners per each acre developed, therefore multiple voters per acre. You can muddy the water all you want, but it is not a gray area, it is black and white and in the law.
greathornedlizard writes:
Even the votes will not matter for many, many years because the majority shareholder will most likely seek the votes of most residents (and get them) for quite a while, that being the safest way to maintain the commons and other constructive functions of a development company, while the Ave Maria residents aquire the skills to run the place.
I believe that these interactions, sometimes acrimonious, generally go on for multiple decades.
sukle writes:
Lol;as if all those acres will ever be sold.
Have you seen the ghost town this place is? If everyone shows up for work tomorrow, there will be more people that are employees then residents. It was built on ego and and hopefully at least one Baptist will sneak in the door and create anarchy.
Lucifer writes:
To those of you that take an attorney at their word I pity you. Good post #7. No way would I ever consider living in that God forsaken place called Ave Maria.
Debalou writes:
I don't know why they are worried about this. Ava Maria will NEVER be built out. It's a ghost town. We drove out there one beautiful Sunday afternoon in February. It was a horrible drive out there. The roads are pitted and narrow. Once we got there, no one was around. We drove back to the very nice park and it was desolate. Remember, the sun was shining, it was about 74* - beautiful. And the parks were empty!. The houses we toured weren't very well built and were full of bugs. I don't understand why anyone would want to live in the middle of a bug infested swamp far, far away from the nearest grocery store, beach, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. I imagine this was one of those "have I got some swamp land to sell you" kind of deals.
Plus, why did my friends in the Estates have their properties taken from them by SWF Water Management but then they build this 10,000 acre boondoggle right in the area they are trying to save!?? Who got paid off?! Are we protecting our Everglades or not?

"if I understand this correctly, at buildout (which is estimated at 11,000 units in previous articles), the residents would have 11,000 votes"
You are incorrectly assuming that all units are owned by residents. According to Avewatch, of the 48 properties sold as "homeowner" (code 4) in the Middlebrooke area of town, only 7 are typical residents. AMU owns 32 of the 48.
chestercopperpot writes:
kysaberinger -
Out of the 11,000 residential units, how many do you believe AMU will purchase? Using simple math, they would need to purchase at least 2,500 units to prevent typical residents from gaining majority. This is not realistic. Bottom line, the typical residents will have majority vote prior to the 11,000 unit buildout. I appologize if this result disappoints you.

Research on Atlantic Salmon at Sea
The current
period of low abundance of Atlantic salmon appears to be related to
poor survival of salmon at sea. For some monitored stocks, marine mortality
is currently twice as high as in the 1970s and this has been linked to climate change.
In 2001, NASCO established
an International Atlantic Salmon Research Board (IASRB) to promote collaboration
and cooperation on research into the causes of marine mortality of Atlantic
salmon and the opportunities to counteract this mortality. In 2005, the IASRB developed and implemented a comprehensive, innovative programme of research on salmon at sea, the SALSEA Programme, with coordinated marine sampling initiatives launched in 2008. Read more...
NASCO had previously agreed a Resolution on scientific research fishing. Read more...

The Agricultural Statistics Board exemplifies the care NASS exercises to safeguard the integrity of the estimates.
Production forecasts for corn, wheat, cotton, soybeans, and oranges are defined by law as speculative because they are traded on commodity markets. Anyone having early access to this information would have an obvious advantage in trading, so the Agricultural Statistics Board goes to great lengths to prevent it.
The SSO's transmit data and comments on speculative commodities to the secretary of the Agricultural Statistics Board through the NASS computer system and special encoding equipment. Upon transmission, the encoded data are saved on diskettes, which are placed in pouches and locked in a safe. The files are then purged from the system.
NASS employees prepare the official estimates in rooms that are kept locked and guarded by officers stationed outside in the hallways. Opaque vinyl shades with steel reinforcers are drawn over windows and sealed to prevent unauthorized observation. All telephones are disconnected, and computer systems are secured against tampering. The lockup area is monitored to detect the presence of electronic surveillance equipment. Once they have entered the area, employees preparing the report are prohibited from leaving the area or contacting anyone outside until the report has been released. Copies of the report are printed within the lockup area.
After the lockup area has been secured, the diskettes are removed from the safe and the files are decrypted. Analysts review the survey data and SSO recommendations to determine national and State estimates.
NASS also observes strict security precautions for reports dealing with nonspeculative commodities. The analysts work on these reports in restricted areas, and only those directly involved in report preparation are permitted access to the information.
No unauthorized person has access to the data or analysis of a report before it is issued. Not even the Secretary of Agriculture knows a report's contents until entering the lockup area to sign it just before release.
The Board presents its reports in printed and electronic form to the waiting public and press, adhering to a schedule announced at the beginning of each year.

I had better get this post published and start researching candle making but before I go I just want to thank the following ladies for hosting these wonderful linky parties today: am also linking to the Prior Lives Party.
So, it's time to make another cup of tea and sit in my big comfy club chair and learn about the art of candle making. If you have any tips for a beginner like me please do pass them on!
Best wishes for a wonderful week,
Natasha In Oz
Hi Natasha
A lovely comfy chair, a pile of magazines and a cup of Yorkshire tea, a day of bliss!!! Jackie in UK.
Such a great post. You are right, that place was so comfy to relax.
ummm...this is a delightful post, dear heart.
First off...I am in total love with your big comfy and good looking chair. Perfect spot to 'research'..:))
Next, the table is awesome!! Just love that..
Your teacup is so pretty and you are doing a heck of a job on your mosaics. They are fabulous!! I love the way you photograph things...
And....ME, TOO !! I want to learn to make candles...won't it be fun.!
I am sooo not crafty and I often think I can do something crafty and then I think, "what WAS I thinking ??"
love, bj
I love love love that brown leather chair! It looks so cozy to stretch out in!.
Take Care
Brenda
Definitely looks like a cozy place to curl up with a cup of tea and relax. I love the table! When I was a little girl, my mother used to make candles. I used to love watching her create different shapes and designs as well as the colors and different textures she would use. I think it would be an interesting project.
~ Tracy
HI Natasha,
Thank you somuch for visiting my blog the other day! I think you should enter the challenge you've already done the hard work - finding all these wondeful photos of beautiful things
I LOVE that table. It is so unusual and I love the inside.
Your den does look like a cozy place to enjoy your cup of tea. Yorkshire tea is one of my regular morning brands, along with PG Tips and London Cuppa.
That silver chest does make a great looking table and the teacup candles are so pretty.
Love the teacups! Be blessed. Cindy
Yes, yes, yes,
I've wanted to make those tea cup candles too. Wouldn't they make a pretty favor or small gift? If you make one, please share your efforts step by step. Until then, enjoy your tea-time.
Cheers,
Debi
You do have the perfect spot to research. Your post is fabulous!
Martha does have instructions on how to make these teacup candles and you will have no problem doing them. I am excited to see them.
I would love to share with the other tea ladies on my meme. Looking forward to following you and hope you will follow us too.
Pam
May I join you? What a cozy spot to settle in and have a cup of tea and read...love it!
I adore all of the teacup candles what a wonderful use for all of those one of a kind teacups and saucers we have laying around!
Beautiful!
Enjoy!
Cathy
Natasha..I LOVE your silverware box table. So lovely. Tea cup candles, what a wonderful idea! Enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog :)

Gail
That does look like a cozy chair, I love leather! Love all the pretty tea cups too and I love candles in them! Come say hi :D
Oh, what a cozy spot to have a spot of tea and read a magazine! That chair looks sooo comfy and I adore your little side table! I love teacup candles! I haven't actually made one yet but I have oftentimes placed a votive in a teacup. Love it! Thanks for sharing and thanks for joining me for Tea Time. Have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Yes !!! tea time.......again.laugh and joy !!!.....together with you my moment of the day.....my dear Natascha......happy evening...thanks for the tea!!! hugs Ria.....

Hi :) Your chair looks so inviting and cozy, and what a perfect spot to relax and "research" thru the magazines, lol!
Happy Teacup Tuesday!
Warmest, Brenda
What a family treasure to have the lovely cutlery table. Items handed down are so meaningful.
I have made a few candles - tapers. Actually they were thin tapers, very thin tapers because I got very tired of dipping them. Pouring the melted wax would be a faster way to go.
Look forward to the pictures of your tea cup candles!
Hi Natasha,
This black and white teacup is stunning. Love that. You have always so creative ideas. I love the tea cup canles, too.
Greetings, Johanna
The candle teacups are such a GREAT idea! The closest I've come to making one is to put a votive in a demitasse! These are so much nicer!
Thanks for sharing!
Amy
Well, you see the brown leather chair IS for more than reading magazines...you have a new project all lined up! Can't wait to see your candles!
xoxo
Jane
I can see my self in yr chair, doing research!
I know you can buy the way pellets (bees wax so they will small nice too) Altered Element, they ship from the UK world wide, you can always add scented oils. But I am sure they will sell simalr stuf close to home have a nosey on the internet you could be making loads before you know it
Love Danw xx
Funny, I posted about these at Mother's Day.
Hello Natasha- I love all of your teacups, but especially the green and black striped one. Does it have a picture inside? You den looks so cozy and I love the side table and memories that go with. If you want to learn how to make a teacup candle I made a tutorial on my craft blog Take care.
What a lovely table. Candle making, that sounds like fun!
Bonjour Natasha, I love the teacup candles and there's a lovely stall with lots and lots of vintage ones here at Greenwich Market in London. That's where I bought my vintage bowl that gave me so much inspiration a while back... Such a charming idea. Love from London x
Hi Natasha. What a beautiful pictures. Almost real. I just stopped to make myself a cup of tea and joined your blog again.
Bye, Lilian
Oh what a perfect place to sit and relax with a cup of tea and enjoy a good magazine. Love your beautiful teacup candles. They are just stunning. So pretty. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Great tea cup collection! I am trying to make a blog button and failing miserably with it. Thanks for offering to link back to me... :O)
I love these Tea-up candles..I have made them & they are very pretty. I love the cups especially.. I made them years ago before there was blogging so I wish i had a post on it..Anyway Natasha: You are too cute! I vote that Natasha learns to make the candles and she teaches Martha! What do you think about that? I am a fast learner and I can be at your house this evening. What a great time we could have. I could be your assistance! I like that! I am going to try and find out what I can about making candles. It does sound like fun. I will be back. It is almost 6 pm in the States so shall we start at 7? LOL! Blessings, Martha
Love your comfy tea post. And yes, tea cup candles are fun to make!
Also, you can make tea cup pin cushions as well.
So much fun to be had!
Hugs,
Terri
Just beautiful!
Katherine
A gorgeous room full of comfy cozie furniture...
I recieved a cup and saucer candle for Christmas last year from a dear friend...great idea for gifts!
Have a sweet week Natasha,
xoxo~Kathy @
Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Hi Natasha!!
I love your chair and ottaman it looks so comfortable. Good luck learning to make teacup candles, maybe you could do a tutorial once you learn how:)The tea lloks so good I'm going to go make a cup! Love the cup,
:) Michelle
Now that is one terrific spot to sit and read, I mean, research!!
And that table is magnificent!!
Your tea cup is lovely and I too wish I know how to make tea cup candles!!
Debbie
As a candle fan I just love this idea Natasha.
yes I wouldnt mind making some teacup candles too, will have to try and find a blog post on how to! Love your cutlery canteen by the way, they usually make a few $$ on ebay I have found. Might be fun filling it up with nice cutlery again too!
alicia
Lovely cup! I do like the striking difference of the dark green and white....very different from most patterns that all seem to be soft pastels. I had to smile at the cup that resembled cross-stitch....I've been on a bit of a stitching blitz lately. I wonder if the pattern on the cup could be replicated in stitches....
I love the teacup candles. Lord knows I have plenty of teacups to make some!
Hi Natasha! LOVE all your teacups today!.. especially that cross stitch floral teacup!! I think it would be lots of fun making them, and have thought of trying it myself, but just never got around to it. I can't wait to see YOURS, if YOU do!... Enjoy your day, and have a great weekend! ~tina
What a lovely room to have your Tea as you relax! I adore the cutlery table! How wonderful it is! Love you recycled your lovely cup! I used to make candles with my daughter. She just loves making candles! She will be 29 this year, you brought back a lot of memories. Maybe even a Birthday Gift for her. She hasn't made any candles for a while, so buying all the things she need to would be a fun Birthday! So sorry I haven't been visiting. I long too, but I've taken another bad fall and limited. I will still have Tea Time Tuesday, and one day hope to catch up on all I have missed. I have so longed to visit! Have fun making candles! Can't wait to see what you do, Please share it here on Tea Time Tuesday! You are going to have so much fun making your candles! PS I do love your cutlery table!!!!

My new portfolio site is finally live!
A lot of my freelance work involves designing and developing portfolio sites for other people, however it’s been a struggle to find the time to do my own. However after slaving away for the last month I’ve finally been able to put my own folio site together and launched it earlier today!
Preparing my own folio was interesting, because other than a lacklustre presence on Behance, it’s been awhile since I’ve actually gone through this process. I’ve done a lot over the last three years and taking the time to review and reflect on it all has been great. I’ve enjoyed being able to see the progress I’ve made since I started designing and building websites.
I’ve tried to keep the design simple, making my work and ease of navigation my sole focus. I’ve utilised the same scrolling effect seen on this website too, because it looks great and it’s intuitive. There’s no need to clutter the site with buttons. No arrows and other gallery controls, just scrolling. Simple!
Minimising the amount of elements on the page also helps when considering how it will look on smaller screens, making the challenge of creating responsive websites less daunting. However the way that JavaScript scrolling events work on touch devices is still a bit of a problem. The scrolling effect simply doesn’t work! I’m not sure that there’s an easy and elegant solution though, so I’m happy to leave it for the time being.
Over the next week I’m inviting feedback on the site, both positive and negative. What works? What doesn’t? What improvements can I make? Do you know a solution to my scrolling problem? Is it even something I should be worried about?
Have a look and let me know what you think on Twitter, because I’d love to hear from you.

How often should I be applying topical steroids?
Q: How often should I be applying topical steroids?
A: Topical corticosteroids are a mainstay of eczema therapy. Sadly, 3 days for face, eyelids, neck and folds 7 to 21 days for other areas
* Then taper frequency to every 2 to 3.

Street+Gallery is a long-term outreach project that aims to include homeless people in a creative relationship with the National Galleries of Scotland.
Developed in partnership with The Ark Trust, a support service for homeless people and those at risk of homelessness in Edinburgh and its surrounding area, Street+Gallery has grown out of a 2004 pilot project, The Street Looks at the Town, which also involved The Ark’s clients.
From 4th April to 4th May 2008 an exhibition of artwork produced on this two-year project was shown in the Scottish National Gallery. Work on display represented the three strands of the project including
- creative writing from the Over 50’s group in response to the history of Edinburgh’s ‘Old Town’
- paintings and works on paper produced by members of the women’s group, Space 44, produced with guidance from artists Juliana Capes and Ann McCluskey
- collaborative work by artists Gavin Lockhart and Mian Tze Kng, who have engaged service users of The Ark in video and wall-drawing projects
This exhibition demonstrated the commitment of the participants from Edinburgh’s homeless community to accessing the collections and facilities in NGS. The project has involved hundreds of workshops, gallery tours and several longer artists’ residencies, and has produced moving creative responses based on these opportunities to engage with our art.
We are proud to present the results of this project serving the homeless community, who are often excluded from their cultural heritage and denied the means to express their ideas and creativity.

DURANGO, Colo. – There was no shortage of love between the two most prominent members of the House of Representatives as they campaigned here Monday, trading compliments and memories of their mutual past.
House Speaker John.
Boehner, in Colorado to campaign for Rep. Scott Tipton, said he was proud of Ryan and proud that GOP nominee Mitt Romney plucked his running mate from the House.“You’re never going to find … anyone who’s smart—as smart as he is, who knows more about economic policy, knows more about the economy,” Boehner said. He said Ryan, author of several spending blueprints that have been flashpoints in political campaigns, including the current presidential race, “has done a marvelous job leading our budget committee.”

Randy Travis' Overturned Truck Found in Field - August Arrests Dog Country Singer
A smashed up pickup truck owned by Randy Travis was found overturned and abandoned in a field in Frisco, Texas, but it is unclear how it got there.
It has been a wild month for the country singer as arrests have placed him in the spotlight.
In early August, Travis was arrested in Texas on suspicion of DWI after crashing his car.
He was completely naked at the time of the bizarre crash and had just came from a convenience store where he tried to purchase cigarettes naked, but had no cash and was told to leave the store.
TMZ reported at that time that Travis was initially arrested for DWI -- but once he was inside the cop car, officials say the singer threatened to "shoot and kill the Troopers working the case."
He was later charged with retaliation.
That arrest was the singer's 2nd arrest this year -- back in February, Randy was busted for public intoxication for allegedly boozing in front of a Baptist church.
On Friday of this week (August 24), the singer was again involved with police, he was arrested after a fight in the church parking lot.
TMZ reveals on that arrest:.
The Plano Police Department told the website that Travis was cited for simple assault.
According to the report, Officials believe Randy was the primary aggressor.
So - what's with the truck?
It's a mystery.
A Travis lawyer told local TV station WFAA that Travis is not the one who left it there and that Travis had not been in that truck for the past few months.

Wildfires raging across the western states of the United States have destroyed dozens of homes and scorched thousands of acres of land.
Firefighters in central Washington state fought a wildfire yesterday that has destroyed at least 60 homes and burned over 20 thousand acres between two national forests east of the capital, Olympia.
The wildfires forced hundreds of people to flee – one of several blazes scorching the Western US, threatening communities, sending up thick plumes of smoke and disrupting activity in national parks.
On Sunday, a 20-year-old firefighter was killed by a falling tree in Idaho. Another woman has died near Orofino while combating a blaze. It was her second season as a firefighter. A federal investigation was launched on Tuesday to establish what happened.
Wildfires blaze across West, burning homes / more than 400 residents evacuated in Washington
The wildfire near the town of Cle Elum, in central Washington state, has prompted the evacuation of more than 400 people, although no injuries have been reported. Fire officials said it came within 6 miles of the town of Ellenburg.
Crews barely managed to outrun the fast-moving fire in Washington, which began at a bridge construction site and has not been contained. Police say the current wind and heat are making it harder for firefighters to bring the blaze under control.
Some land at a nearby chimpanzee sanctuary has been damaged in the huge fire, and a spokeswoman said the chimps seemed disoriented by the smoke.
In Utah, a fire sparked by lightning covered around 21,800 acres, threatened a herd of wild horses and forced the closure of the historic Pony Express Road that runs through the state’s western desert.
Authorities suspect the Washington state fire began at a construction site east of Cle Elum, about 75 milessoutheast of Seattle.
Wildfires have consumed roughly 2,4 million hectares / Washington Wildfire News ten miles, and to the east, which is mostly farmland. South of the fire is the Snoqualmie National Forest.
In northern California, over 1,100 firefighters spent a 3rd day attacking a pair of wildfires that have destroyed 2 homes in Lake County’s Spring Valley area and charred some 7 thousand acres.
Firefighters had contained only 30 % of the 2 blazes burning dry brush in remote Lake and Colusa counties, said Daniel Berlant, a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman. They did not expect full containment for a week.
But firefighters made enough progress attacking one of the wildfires that authorities lifted an evacuation order for 480 homes in the Spring Valley area on Monday night.
A handful of other fires in hot and dry Southern California were sparked by lightning. Four in northeastern San Diego County covered more than 2,300 acres, threatening to leave several communities without power.

UPDATE AT 3:35 P.M. -- I've added some more names to the list after the Nats announced this afternoon the signings of J.D. Martin, Matt Chico, Carlos Maldonado and Kevin Barker to minor-league contracts and spring training invitations issued to Derek Norris, Jhonatan Solano and Josh Wilkie...
Since pitchers and catchers report in a mere 11 days, and since there have been some non-roster additions in the last week, this seems an appropriate time to run through the Nationals' depth chart at each position.
There will still be more names added to the list in the next 11 days, as more invitations are extended to big-league camp. But hopefully this helps give everyone a good sense of where the Nats stand at the moment...

Exactly how many players are being invited to Spring Training? In 2009, the Nats invited 89 players, and what a disasterous season ensued. In the old days, Spring Training was meant for members on the 40 man roaster, and not that much more. Maybe there should be a mini-camp between the World Series and Spring Training. I just don't see how these guys how Rizzo and Riggleman are going to get this team ready to play with so many guys vying for playing time. Where am I wrong?
I'm looking forward to seeing how the team shapes up this spring. What do you see as the major battles to make a spot, Mark?
Mark, looking at the depth chart, your thoughts on the rule 5 players? Any chance they make the team or do you think we try to work out trades for them or simply let them return?
DCJohn: I would guess there will end up being around 60-65 players in camp. That's about normal. Most are the guys who will end up at Syracuse and Harrisburg. Since full minor-league camp doesn't usually begin until early-to-mid-March, there's nowhere for those players to be for the first couple weeks of the spring. So a couple weeks in big-league camp is good for them, even if they have no shot of making the Opening Day roster.
Original Nats Fan: The biggest roster battles, to me, will be the No. 2 catcher (Ramos vs. Flores), the last spot or two in the bullpen (Balester, Rodriguez, Stammen, Gaudin, Ramirez and others) and the last spot on the bench (Gonzalez, Cora, Stairs, maybe Nix).
SCNatsFan: I think both Rule 5 guys (Elvin Ramirez and Brian Broderick) face very long odds to make the Opening Day roster. Just too much depth in front of them. If either has a great spring, I could see the Nats trying to work out a trade to keep one or both.
Mark:
In all seriousness and with sincerity, thanks for keeping early February interesting.
I'm hoping Harper gets 100% of the best rookie treatment our vets can throw at him, and that he handles it like a humble and respectful rookie.
I'm hoping Corey Brown blows peoples doors off and make Rizzo really re-think his commitment to Nyjer.
I'm hoping Coffey and HRod throw strikes and solidify their status as potential late innings guys.
I'm hoping Espinosa shows he's ready to face MLB pitching every day.
I'm hoping Pudge pulls a groin and misses a ton of time so Flores and Ramos can have a chance to show what they can do. (sorry Pudge)
I'm hoping CMW at least shows enough that we can be confident that he'll pitch some decent MLB ball in 2011.
And I'm hoping when the Nats play the Yankees in spring training that JMax plays 9, bangs out base hits, runs down balls has sleeps with a smile on his face all night long.
To be fair Sunderland, the stock pile of guys who can play center field in a pinch suggests that Rizzo doesn't have that much faith in Morgan at all. He is more or less untradable, and he has earned a spot in Spring Training but, there seems to be a lot of back-up plans and vague rumours of trades for a replacements.
Other than that I agree and will place Ramos, Espinosa and Brown atop my list of guys I am pulling for this spring.
About 15 of these guys are fringe major league players whose best chance of being on a big league roster is if MLB decides to add two teams in the American League before Opening Day and bench players are needed. A couple are worse than that. Two or three pitchers are OK (if healthy) but there is no room on the 25-man roster. Those we can keep. The rest, however, it would be nice if Rizzo could trade them all for five guys off Pittsburgh's Rookie League roster and a Perogie to challenge Teddy for last place.
And you say there are more names coming?
I'm in agreement w/ those who think all this rosterial sclerosis impairs efforts to teach the Nats young players and their knucklehead (singular) the fundamentals of baseball.
Send the rest to tour the Space Center until someone sprains a pinkie and a substitute is needed.
Interesting that the Nats MLB depth chart site still has Maxwell listed. Somebody needs to do a little maintenance.
The depth chart also shows Werth listed third in left field and not listed at all in center. Anyone know who is responsible for the on-line depth chart?
@kingfishfarms,
Ladson often makes up his own fantasy versions of the Nats roster. No one knows what he is thinking when he does that ... he mostly ends up wrong.
Thanks for the answer
I would X-out Stairs for any outfield position? Why would you trade Willingham then? The guy can't play the outfield period and if Riggleman puts him out there then shame on him. First base maybe ... he's just a "DH" bench pinch hitter that gets pulled for a guy who can field after he is done.
thanks, Mark Those are the guys I'll keep a close watch on.
There's at least some degree of real depth in every one of these lists -- with the exception of starting pitching. Not to imply that Rizzo didn't try there, but it is the 800 lb. gorilla in the room after all.
I notice you only went 3 deep on the C's -- would Norris have been #4? Also, no sign of A Olbrychewski or whatever his name is! I think we'd all agree that J Max simply wasn't able to take advantage of the big league opportunities he was given....but at least he would have made the depth chart! Losing Strasborg is certainly a huge blow for 2011 and question marks abound when it comes to the SP depth chart; very fragile aspect to this team. Again, where's Olbrychewski? Anyone know if he go by Ski or Chewie? Finally, I'm not sure if the analogy is relevant here or not, but in football the amount of players practicing is inversely proportional to the quality of reps for all. The more players, the less the quality.
md62red -
Olbrychowski is a relief pitcher who split last season between A and AA. This is a list of organizational depth, which includes every player in the organization.
Mark lists 17 players as relief pitchers, 7 or 8 of which will make the 25 man roster to start the season, another 7 that will go to AAA and the rest will likely be cut.
We traded Maxwell (a AAAA/ML backup tweener) for a prospect. It's not a big deal that he isn't at the top of the organizational depth chart.
DCJohn said...
...In 2009, the Nats invited 89 players, and what a disasterous season ensued.
r u seriously blaming the 2009 season on the # of ST invitees???!!!
SpashCity.....I know it's difficult to see via a blog, but my comments regarding Olbrychowski were purely tongue in cheek! But thanks for clarifying what an organizational depth chart is for me ;-)
If Stairs makes the team, I hope MASN has a special camera on Riggs as he tries to adjust his lineup card to insert a PH without a corresponding sub at another position. So hard! Must... double... switch!
Finally it would end on how all those injured arms come back. Guys like Detwiler(1-3) Marquis(2-9), Atilano(6-7), Stammen(4-4),Zimmermann(1-2), Mock(0-0) and Wang will really have to show something near 100% of rehab to start to talk about depth.
Ben - I too will be pulling for Ramos, Brown and Espi and hope JFlo shows he is back and hoping Desi shows he is the SS of the future.
I am hoping Maya and Detwiler have great Springs to give Rizzo & Riggs reason to ponder!
To Sunderland, Pudge will do fine to mid-May and then I expect fatigue to set in just like last year. I just hope Rizzo is smart enough to anticipate this.
Let's say you were a GM and had a player you weren't too happy with, but at the moment you had no better options, including trading him. Would you a) release him, b) let it be known publicly that you were looking for a replacement and keep playing him, c) publicly act like he's your starter, play him, and hope somebody will be impressed enough to take him off your hands. I think most would answer c).
I question people who make the assertion that Mike Rizzo has a "commitment" or an "attachment" to Nyger Morgan. He's simply pursuing strategy c) right now. If anyone he's brought in (Brown perhaps) shows enough for him to believe that he's got someone to replace Morgan, he'll make a move. That's what smart GMs do.
MZ said "...pitchers and catchers report in 11 days ...". Gotta be the best job in the world. The second best is watching big leaguers. I'm ready. Enough snow.
I'm pleased to see Solano, Norris & Wilkie get NRI status for this year; A couple of weeks' work with the the big-league staff can't hurt their chances for the future (Solano & Wilkie in particular). Sorry to see that Mandel & Milone weren't included.

That said, the point is a good, if a you-would-like
-to-think-was-obvious-but-you-know-better, one.
Regarding committment to Nyjer, recall that last year Nyjer never came out as a result of a double switch, the one thing he and Zimmerman had in common last year. People think the Nats might plays Bernadina in CF, but they had Bernie last year and he got time in CF only when Nyjer was hurt in August and suspended in September but Nyjer never got pulled on a double switch. If you think that was 100% Riggleman, perhaps. I think Rizzo had influence there.
Maybe this year will be different. Obviously db423 you try and make the player seem as valuable as possible. But the Nats showed committment to Nyjer last year above and beyond what he deserved. That might end in a couple weeks. It might not.
Sunderland -- It's late in the day but: the principal objective of the double switch is to avoid the situation where the pitcher leads off or bats early in the upcoming ABs. That way there is no reason to pinch hit and burn a reliever after a third (or two-thirds) of an inning. Morgan as the (nominal) lead-off man, bats immediately behind the pitcher's spot. So, you don't double switch and put New Hurler in the lineup immediately behind where Old Hurler would have been -- but for the switch -- leading off. Accordingly, the lead off man, i.e., Morgan, is the last guy for whom the manager would be inclined to make a switch. If Morgan was never double-switched, that's hardly surprising and means nothing about "commitment."
@Theophilus: A good point, that Sunderland may have overlooked. The leadoff hitter in a starting lineup is the most immune to a double-switch, as he follows the #9 slot (usually the pitcher) in a given lineup.
With the defensive improvements the Nationals could field this year, maybe Riggleman will become less likely to empty the bench with double-switch moves this season. Last year, he seemed to be constantly thinking on the defensive side of things; In 2011, the defense looks a lot less shaky in late-inning situations (RZim-Werth-LaRoche-Espinosa) than last year (RZim-Morse-Dunn-Guzman).
Mark, do scouts believe Bryce Harper has the athleticism to play center field?
If he could that would be pretty amazing to have the best power hitter in the game in center.
Mark, do scouts believe Bryce Harper has the athleticism to play center field?
I understand Rizzo, Clark, and Kline plan to try him there in Hagerstown and Potomac.
The Nats do plan to have Harper working out in center field some this spring. They don't know if long-term he'll be able to play the position, but they certainly want to see how he handles it at this point.
Harper in CF. Visions of ca. 1955-56, Mays, Mantle and Snider playing CF in NY.
Agree with Theo!! Mantle came up as a 19 year old in 51. I am reading "The Last Boy" about Mickey. Did you guys know he made 55 errors at shortstop in C ball the year before they brought him up. Moved him to CF that spring and he wore #6 in his first few months before being sent down to Kansas City. When he came back up in August 6 had been given away and he had #7 from then on.
Theophilus / BinM: Of course that makes sense the first time Riggleman double switches. It does not come into play on subsequent double switches.
Regardless, IMO, Nyjer was shown well more respect and commitment from the Nats in 2010 than he earned.
(That I may have overlooked! Puhlease)
Ok so I am trying to be positive here....Lots of improvement in defense and athleticism. Lots of improvement by subtraction from the days of Kennedy and Guzman and Lopez and Billiard before them.....Gone are the days of Williams and Reeding and Mike B (bonds home run guy)......BUT.....Livo, Jason M. and Lannan......that is just inexcusable to go into the season with those 3 as your 1, 2, and 3 Starters.....NOBODY has a worse pitching staff than that....NOBODY!
And yes those three are an improvement over 207/2008 cattle calls but this is 2011 and fans have a right to expect more than those days....a lot more and that starting pitching is just asking to be clobbered.
Nyjer came in and lit this place up in '08. So maybe he had a bad year. I had a bad year once. Let's see how he does, because he is a real plus when he's on.
2009........for 5 weeks.....this is just like the people who are going to say Lannan and Jason M.....both looked OK in Sept of last year.....Morgan's body of work is consistently bad.....especially against LH pitching....Jason M is done and Lannan is OK as a # 5 not an opening day pitcher....Livo is who he is.....a long reliever who you can plug in anywhere as a rubber arm....Opening day starter...top of the rotation guy.....joke.
JayB, of course as we all know it's about performance, not predictions. It's also about pitching, not solely about starters. In 2010, our team ERA of 4.13 was better than 11 other MLB clubs. Even our lousy rotation posted an ERA better than 4 other MLB clubs.
So we walk into 2011 with what we have, which looks and feels more promising than 2010. Even you seem to think so. And while we may go through 2011 without a shut down ace, there does seem to be a chance that the guys in the #4 and #5 slots will be better than we had in previous years, right?
So is it out of the question that we improve our team ERA in 2011?
As crazy as it sounds, if our staff can give up 1 fewer earned run per week, our team ERA would improve enough that we would have placed 12th out of 30 in 2010.
Now it's possible our bellpen regresses and does not pitch as well as they did in 2010.
But I look up, and I do not see the sky falling.
"Regarding committment to Nyjer, recall that last year Nyjer never came out as a result of a double switch"
Well, since one of the points of a double switch is to push the pitcher's spot in the batting order as far away as possible, this stands to reason. Nyjer almost always was batting leadoff, so to double switch for him would have moved the pitcher's spot only one spot down. I bet if you checked every game in the whole NL for the last 10 years you probably wouldn't find a case where the player right behind the pitcher in the batting order got double-switched out of a game. Makes no sense.
Sunderland, I think maye you and Jayb are looking at different skies, with different pies in them.
You seem to be saying they'll be better than we've seen lately, and maybe approach .500, which is a far more likely outcome--apple pie.
Jayb seems to be saying that rotation will never contend for the division, and that is his standard. Orange pie. Which you don't often see, but is actually pretty good.
I know you'll both excuse me if I've inadvertently misstated either of your relative positions.
When it's about pie, there are no wrong answers.
Feelwood, how many games did Riggleman do only 1 double switch?
The first double switch the leadoff guy pretty much never come out, sure. But after that? I'd guess we had 120 games with more than one double switch (is that a goofy estimate?). And Nyjer never got pulled.
Riggleman never double switches for defensive purposes. It's always about getting the pitcher out of the game - usually because he doesn't trust the pitcher to get out of a jam, or occasionally to bring in a matchup reliever, or sometimes to pinch hit for the pitcher when a hit is needed to get a rally going. As has been mentioned before, Riggleman needs to start having more trust in his starters to work their way out of jams they have created. That might backfire on him, but really there's no other way to develop the needed toughness in the starting staff. Sink or swim. Separate the wheat from the chaff. Doing that would eliminate many double switches.
And no, your estimate of 120 games with multiple double switches is way off the mark. I doubt there were 120 games with even one double switch. Second double switches are so relatively rare that it's not surprising that the the luck of the draw never resulted in Nyjer getting pulled.
Oh I think well over 100 games had double switches is them....easy....and yes no bad pie in my view.....Bad Starting pitching but pie no....My point was that it is way past time to be happy with a 5-10 game improvement for Nats team that lost over 300 games in 3 years.....That starting staff clearly will not compete for a division....but it also will not provide enough improvement in record to be respectable to the rest of MLB players next winter.
2006 and 2007 we were told that they were working and spending on the farm to be ready by 2009/10 to compete and win a division in 2011....they are at least 3 years behind with that starting staff. Just holding Lerners accountable here for a bunch of bad decisions they have made and continue to make even today. They must spend on top player development, International FA, MLB FA and Draft......all at the same time....not one and then maybe the other next year.....ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
Bad Starting pitching but pie no....My point was that it is way past time to be happy with a 5-10 game improvement for Nats team that lost over 300 games in 3 years.....That starting staff clearly will not compete for a division ...
No, we don't know that. Last year, with soft-tossers and control artists at the top of the rotation you knew ... the continuing failures of Mock and Detwiler along with their injuries, Zimmermann recovering from TJ, Stras working his way through the minors. The complete break down of Marquis and Lannan led directly to Livo.
This year? Gorzelanny is no slouch and he isn't a soft tosser. Neither is Maya. And Zimmermann is back ... are they all three questions? Sure, but far less questionable than last year's motley group.
What you are missing is a bonafide ace to stabilize the rotation. That may still be acquired ... at the very least there still is Strasburg.
Given both Mock and Detwiler's loss of velocity last year the injuries clearly affected them. As for Maya the rust showed. Gorzelanny is also an injury (sore arm) risk. Maybe things will be different this year. Maybe ...
Maybe....that is no way to build a winning tradition.....And Maya tops out at 90 MPH...he is a bust. Rizzo misjudged the market and then cheaped out after losing out on a true hard throwing Cuban....It amazes me how some people just refuse to see facts. Do I want a better team....you bet....but I am not willing to close my eyes and live a lie.
Some time ago I posted a comment concerning the 1989 Orioles, who came into the final Saturday of the season one game out of first in the AL East and finished 87-75. I said something to the effect that, "That staff had a lot of bums." I'm pretty sure no one in the rotation (Milacki, Ballard, Schmidt, D. Johnson, Harnisch) had more than 60 career wins. Actually, upon further research, they had the sixth worst ERA in the AL that year (4.00).
The point being, Teddy may never win a race but it is possible to contend with very mediocre pitching.
A concession: those Orioles -- back in a day when "The Oriole Way" meant something different than it does now -- had nine fewer errors than any other team in the AL. One way of looking at that: the pitchers were probably worse than their numbers indicated.
Maya tops out at 93-94. But he prefers to use the Livo guile ... that's his bread and butter. He is still shaking off the rust ... let's see what he has this spring velocity wise.
Its better than hoping that Wang will again average 93.7. It isn't going to happen. I suspect Maya could do that ... but he is a pitcher not a thrower. And its better to be a pitcher not a thrower. The Nats have had more than their share of just "throwers".
Zimmermann missed a year w/ arm surgery; Maya missed nearly as much time as a refugee. Zimmermann had previously spent three months in a ML rotation; Maya had zero ML experience. Neither should be judged on their 2010 performance.
Experience means things like noticing how the batter has changed his stance -- by a couple of inches -- from the last time you saw him. There were a couple of innings where Maya's curve ball nearly caused a batter's box spinal injury. It's really worth seeing what he can do with a Spring Training and some stability under his belt.
Hope you are correct about Maya...He was supposed to hit 94-95 per what he was sold to fans as a :Major International Signing".....After close to 3 months as a professional he looked like a dud to me. We have seen so many false hopes from Nats Pitchers....Ross D is now a soft tossing Chico type....amazing what our player development program does to pitching talent.
"We have seen so many false hopes from Nats Pitchers....Ross D is now a soft tossing Chico type....amazing what our player development program does to pitching talent."
Someone needs to hold JayB accountable for being an idiot. If Detwiler is tossing soft, it's only when he's been hurt. Nothing to do with the player development program.
Just for grins, I took a look at my scorecards for the 20 games where I kept score last season - a fairly representative random sampling of the 81 home games. Of those 20 games, 13 had no double switches by Riggleman (65%), six games had one double switch (30%), and only one game had two double switches (5%). Projected out over a 162 game season, that's 49 games with one double switch and 8 games with two.
"I'd guess we had 120 games with more than one double switch" (Sunderland) "Oh I think well over 100 games had double switches is them....easy" (JayB) Dumb and Dumber!
sample size error....FW...is that you ABM....as if I don't know....
Ross D whole motion was F'ed with by our PD Staff in 2008....that is when he started losing MPH and then got hurt....look it up it was widely reported.....oh and get a sign on if you are going to be so pompous...and
Feel Wood, thanks for taking the time to check that. I knew I was swagging the the amount of double switches (and sort intimated that when I lobbed the 120 number out there). Hard to believe that we double switched only game out of three, but I sure ain't arguing it. If I was that far off, I'll take the Dumb and call it a day.
"If I was that far off, I'll take the Dumb and call it a day."
Now, *that's* accountability. Good for you, sir.
Although I'm not sure that estimate isn't low. I would have guessed over half the games. I'm pretty sure there were more Curly (lineup) Shuffles than Curly W's.
OTOH, blowouts generally don't encourage double-switching, so there's a big chunk out of the pool right there.
Of course, my opinion plus $5 will get you a venti latte.
"sample size error....FW"
There are no sample size errors when the entire universe is 162.
As they say in the market research biz: "You don't have to eat the whole pot of stew to know what it tastes like."
All the double switches stand out because the batters brought in to pinch hit, SUCKED, and their replacements also SUCKED.
I'm not as down on Riggleman on his double switches as some (most?) here. Most of the time he was trying to make something out of nothing.
JayB needs to start buying his cigarettes at the supermarket. Maya was never sold as "94-95" FB. Cut-and-paste the link below:
That clearly states "89-92" and, in his better moments last year, that's what he did.
Here's an easier way to count it: how many games did Morse start? That will be approximately how many had the Curly Shuffle.
Looking at games in August....Double Switches are running at over 50% so that would sample out to 80 games not 100.....none of us want to spend time on this to prove who is right but it is very likely more double switches than wins....
Rizzo from your link TH...."He's a terrific, poised, capable, major league-caliber pitcher," Rizzo said. "Some of the most successful organizations would like to sign him and put him directly into their rotation. We're one of them.".....I will find the 94-95 quote when I am at Jury Duty next week.....He was very rarely above 90 and sat a 88 most fastballs last year
NCog -- Thanks for giving Riggleman credit for trying to make chicken salad out of . . .. The managers with the best records are the ones who did things according to conventional baseball wisdom and didn't screw up the talent they were given to work with. Scoscia's supposed to be a good manager, has had great talent for years, and last year they finished below .500. Did he turn dumb? The kid who's auditioning for the job of son-in-law said about Riggelman, "For the first time, I feel like there's an adult in charge."
The idea of JayB on jury duty should encourage capital punishment advocates everywhere.
Small sample size...heh...the perfect description of JayB's brain.
Maya has been know to throw inside heat (direct translation from Spanish) when he needed to. That would be in the 93-94 range. Last year he averaged 89 shaking off the rust. Still better than Mock and Detwiler. In the majors and advanced leagues the ball has to have both sink and movement to be an effective fastball else its a home run. Clearly Maya trusts his breaking stuff more and so works backwards leading with that stuff and coming in later with the hard stuff.
McCatty et al have to spend some time with him and get to know what he can do. He needs to learn about major league hitters, etc.
I'm not saying sofa-dude is getting inside my head, but I did go to a coffee shop this afternoon and order a venti latte and some apple pie.
Dang it, Sunderland! I managed to deny the pie impulse all day yesterday and now here it is in my face again this morning (as it were). mmmm....pie...
Ok, so now that the big game is today, who ya got?
I will be rooting for GB, but I think the Steelers win 27-13.
ABM...do you ever get tired of attacking people rather than topics?
Oh well on Baseball....Mark it would be very interesting to get perspective from those who have been around Nats Spring Trainings for years (like you, fans and.......well Zim I guess.
What specific the changes have been accomplished since 2007 to crate a winning expectation? Baseball stuff like routines, Drills, Instruction, Fundamentals, Talent, Accountability, Peer pressures to work hard, leadership from within the clubhouse...that kind of stuff).
What do you see this year that indicates winning is the focus. What does Zimm see this year and what does the team still lack as far as a winning attitude from his viewpoint...Zim is much more honest and not a tad bit pissed that Dunn and Hammer is two bromances are gone....I think he will be very willing to tell it like he sees it this spring
On Football......having the whole cul de sac over.......local Giant is booming the past 48 hours, hope this helps the economy get going faster.....Steelers win....don't really care much who wins these things until Redskins get back there (never played football so I am just a fan of the game, never offer view on what is wrong with teams, do not have that perspective....baseball I have played through major college program, coached and participated my whole life..that game I know.)
A couple of days late, but an interesting article in SI about best and worst team medical results. Best, White Sox and Brewers. Worst, you guessed it, but Carroll gives the Nats a mulligan due to the Expos data. Assume because the budget was absurdly low due to contraction expectation.
Well, I'm liking Mexico, as they're leading the series 3-1, and Vinny Castilla was their skipper back in the day. Although, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are historically strong in the series.
Ohhhh...maybe he meant that pointy-ball game? hmmm...Doritos usually has a strong showing, and there those who favor the, um, raw appeal of the Go-Daddy entries. I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. That's why they play the commercials and all that. :-)

Ok, so now that the big game is today, who ya got?
Interesting to read in the SI work about what we all knew but had no data on....that is Nats could have done much better with injuries.......Nats medical spending was most likely a big part of the problem back when we all were pointing it out in 2006-9...So was Jimbo's low spending on cheap risky players with a history of injury.....I think much has changed....I hope....still just another data point in the Lerner file on how much of this institutionalized losing approach could have been avoided or at least minimized.
Just wondering how many of the NRI players have "opt-out" clauses in their contract? The clause is usually applied to a 'split-value' contract, and allows a player to become a free-agent if not added to the 40- (or 25-man) roster by a certain date.
I could see Cora, Gaudin, Nix & Stairs holding that option, but wonder if there are others.
BinM -- I would expect most of the NRIs are realistic about their chances of making any big league roster and are really hoping for assignment to the Dominican Summer League, including a bunk and three squares a day.
Only Cora and Stairs have a chance of opening this season in Washington.
Fangraphs shows that last year, the Nats pitchers spent more time on the average on the DL/games lost than any other team. Last year the Nats were second in games lost due to injury ...
Cora and Stairs? Stairs can't field and Cora can't hit. I hope they have improved to the point where they won't need these guys. Still, Cora makes a good infield coach ... something Hairston doesn't have a rep for ... but Hairston is the better player.
Dagnabit JayB!!!! Do learning curves not exist in your world????
Any new business starts out with a business plan and while most new businesses fail in their first three years, the ones that survive are the ones that are able to adjust their plan to the things learned in executing that plan.
Understanding that one simple premise would make your additions to this blog less inane.
Baseball is not a new business Njack....Learning curve is not that step for a new ownership group...that was the point of Stan K.....Lerner's are accountable for their decisions to keep Jimbo and ignore Stan's well documented advice to do things differently.
Yep....So they learned. Move on.
Well that was the point of the Question to Mark earlier in this post.....What signs will we see in Spring Training that the team has learned. That the focus is on sound baseball and fundementals. I know you spend time their....much more than I do so I would be interested in your view...... and I have seen some signs from last Spring that the days of Lastings and Dukes goofing off during drills with their hats on backwards are gone.....but then you watch them make well over 120 errors again last year and watch pitches look clueless bunting and Morgan being an ass.....and you have still ask yourself....what have the learned and where can you see it in the product.
JayB -- To see how much the Nationals (cumulatively, including the Bowden era) have learned, compare the 2005 roster (two pitchers still in the majors, three position players -- including luminaries Nick Johnson and Jose Guillen -- who have started since leaving the team) with this year's. The only way that team won 81 games has already been explored in "Angels in the Outfield."
If you had grown up as a Senators fan, you'd understand the true meaning of patience. Or have you noted how much progress Peter Angelos has made on the learning curve?
(Theo suspects the baseball experience claimed on JayB's curriculum vitae was of the Negamco or Strat-o-Matic variety. Spin away, meister.)
@Theophilus: I was more concerned with the possible lineup for SYR when I posed the question - If either Cora or Stairs finish Spring Training with the Nationals, I'd be very worried. Cora's not in camp just to become a future coach, he's a possible player; Meanwhile Stairs is purely a bat off the bench, offering nothing else at this point, imo. Cora would still a nice 'insurance policy' in SYR, should either Espinosa or Desmond falter or get injured, as long as he can't 'opt-out'.
Riggleman & Rizzo would be short-changeing the team with either of these players moving to the 25-man roster; The Nationals don't have the kind of overall talent / depth to carry a pure PH at this point, let alone two.
Not true Theo..but you are a funny guy it seems......I have struck out against Roger Clemens...twice in one game in college and played with more than a few players who had long major league careers. That is why I know this team has underperformed year after year and until very recently I hope, allowed players to expect to lose and feel good about it.
No I was not a Senators fan....and proud to say so....those of you who think that is some kind of rational to enjoy bad baseball and poorly run franchises.....you sirs are a big part of the problem here in current DC baseball.
JayB's learning curve is negative. He gets dumber as time goes by.
I wonder if JayB saw this old video clip of Ken Griffey Jr. on MLB Network the other day. Kid was wearing his cap backwards and had a sh*t-eating grin all over his face. The Mariners should have cut him, right JayB? He was never going to make anything of himself in the game.
BinM --
With all respect, I think any good team needs a LH pinch-hitter (for historical reference, see Gates Brown or Terry Crowley), to keep the other mgr from IBB-ing your No. 8 hitter (who might be Espinosa or Bernandina, guys w/ extra-base power, and both of whom would be batting LH against a RH pitcher). Last year's LH PH was Harris, who was, as I remember, 0-16 or 0-22 or something similar at one point. I think Stairs is better for the job than Ankiel. I know he didn't do much last year but am hoping he's still got some hits in his bat, and by reputation alone he would make some managers think carefully about their options.
I don't think they signed Cora to send him to Syracuse -- the guy is 35 -- although I could be wrong. I don't see both Stairs and Cora making the Opening Day roster -- in both cases I would see Ankiel as the loser. Although for the first few weeks they could get by w/ 11 pitchers, not 12. (Twelve pitchers seems like such a waste of a good roster spot. You seem to end up w/ guy like Bautista who may be useful every now and then but has to be brought in, or warmed up, every day to keep osteoporosis from setting in.)
We shall see. Enjoy the SB.
BinM makes an interesting point....it goes to the focus of the season and cost of past failures. What is the purpose of this year. Win as much as they can and gain some respect...if so they should carry Stairs to PH. This approach hopefully will lead to a 82 win season and a great winter FA signing season going into 2012.
OR is the purpose of this season to continue to try to find some young cheap controlled players that could someday be MLB contributors on a winning team...in that case they would need those spots for Rule 5 types and Maxwell types.....My question to BinM is who the 40 man roster is worth taking that risk with....Brown?
I think Rizzo has been clear that he hates watching players learn at the MLB level....Rizzo hates the word Prospect....It is clear to me he is going to try to win now....get respect...he hates what happened to him this winter...everyone disrespected him......I hope they get lucky and win enough because I do not see enough young talent to make a difference...they are going to have to fix this with money, trades and FA signings.
ABM are you really comparing Griffy to Milledge....I remember seeing Jr with as a 8 year old....that kid loved baseball....he had fun and played the game the right way.....you may hate me but don't say stupid stuff just to try to show me up.....Griffy vs. Milledge.....you are a dope.
Theo @2:53 - You're out of bounds with that post. Counting the players from the '05 Nats remaining in MLB vs. the current roster is an inequitable comparison - not just apples to oranges, but more like apples to beef jerky.
The 2005 Nationals was an aging roster, with few 'stars'; The fact that players like Schneider, Guillen, NJohnson, and a few others have survived may speak more to their actual ages in 2005, than it does to their relative skills.
BinM -- I'm hoping you misunderstand me. (In addition to which, I'm not certain which is the apples and which is the jerky.) I'm saying the current roster has (A) vastly more talent and (B) vastly more potential, and the way they got there was to sacrifice immediate gratification to a long-term vision.
And the current roster may well win 81 games (or not) and that part of it that moves on to 2012 and 2013 will win quite a few more than 81 games in a season.
I see signs -- it's like tracking bread crumbs -- of JayB coming around.
Theo....are you saying that this 40 man roster has enough talent to win more than 81 games next year? 2013? Time will tell but I do not think so. They have a lot of holes to fill......CF, LF, SS and 1B, SP and Closer all need to be addressed...where do you see the talent already with the team needed win 90 games in 2012/2013?
JayB @3:48 - Who's worth either 'calling up' or keeping? - Brown is a low-level possible, as is Nix, particularly if a trade is made involving a LF or CF from the 40-man (Bernadina, Morgan, or Morse). Ankiel is a 'bubble' player in the OF mix, imo; Cora looks to be SYR-bound, unless Espinosa utterly collapses at the plate in Viera. Stairs should start the 2011 season in SYR as well (or be released), unless Riggleman demands a 2nd/3rd LH bat off the bench.
I don't see any of that helping the long term development of anyone likely to help this team past this year, BinM.....I think you are going to see Cora and Stairs on the opening day roster. I think Rizzo is so mad and hurt by the likes of Lee, Zack G. and about 10 others who he had to hear them say...."Mike, I do not believe you are going to be any good any time soon...sorry I am signing with the Cubs or the O's, for less money.....that has to hurt....Rizzo will do what he can to win now with his plan R.....which I think is all he can do...but it is too late now in my view.
In honor of the last week of the hot stove (hallelujah), here is a question: what are good bullpen guys worth? Seems like they are a highly valued part of the market right now - contracts to FA much higher than I would have thought in october, and some of the trades seem like they brought back some pretty good pieces. We gave up Hammer for Rodriguez (who I hadn't even heard of); Tampa gave up Bartlett for two more guys that I hadn't heard of; Balt got Reynolds for essentially David Hernandez and a lesser bullpen guy. So it seems like they have value.
Do Burnett and Clippard reach that reputational level? If we packaged them together, could we get 1 good piece, like a Jake McGee, Anibal Sanchez, Gavin Floyd or Travis Wood, somebody like that? Should we, if we could (weaken a strength for a young guy with upside?) I think that I would, since we have some (unproven) but promising candidates behind them, if we could get a good young SP prospect or position player at need. If this works, it probably only works to a team really on the cusp of competing for a playoff spot.
I am curious what others think.
Wally -- Trading for relievers (or signing as free agents) is a crap shoot. Often they are whack jobs (F. Rodriguez)(or as difficult to maintain as tropical fish), get hurt (Cordero, Wagner), lose their confidence (Lidge as an Astro), forget where the strike zone is (Lidge as a Philly), etc. The number that are consistently good (the Riveras, Hoffmans) are few and far between. Papelbon had a 3-4 year run and now the Red Sox are itching to be rid of him. The best approach is to develop your own (Storen) or get one off the scrap heap (Capps) and try to have someone standing in line when the inevitable happens.
Theo - I agree, I was just noting that other teams seem to be paying a lot for them, so should we try take advantage of the current market by trading some of ours? It is the one area that our stats from last year are impressive. Sounds like you think the market is overvaluing that segment too, so if they could get value at another position, go for it. Do I read your reply right?
God I wish the stupid Super Bowl would get over so we can focus completely on baseball.
Off topic - GREAT DAY IN SPORTS!!

Jayson Werth returns to the lineup after sitting out last night's game with tired legs. He'll be in right field, which should provide a little less wear and tear. Bryce Harper will be responsible for covering the spacious, treacherous and hilly center field at Minute Maid Park.
Gio Gonzalez gets the start, looking to duplicate Ross Detwiler's seven-inning outing from last night and take some pressure off a Nationals bullpen that has been extended nearly to the limit in recent days.
As you know by now, I'm not in Houston for this series. Enjoy the game and the conversation. And like me, pray the final out is recorded before the stroke of midnight for a change...

Oy, Hernandez is behind the dish tonight.
Go, GIO! Go, NATS!! It's a beautiful day for a regulation ballgame. Let's play nine (innings, that is), and may the visitors win. :-)
I wonder how the umpire rotation goes. I guess home plate moves to 3rd where there is probably less work after being behind the plate, and everyone just slides over one. Angel was at 1st last night so that makes sense.
I have never watched so many scoreboards before. Brewers just went ahead of the Reds in the top of the 9th. I really want the Pirates to have a winning season but I also want every team but ours to lose more then they win for the next month or so. I am not looking for that one game playoff, I want them to start with an away games vs. the wildcard which would mean we have finished with the best record in the NL.
Go Nats!!
With Angel Hernandez behind the plate, memo to Gio: Be on your best behavior, come to a complete stop in a stretch, have your shoes shined to a nice buff, wear your cap straight, please tie all those loose hands on your glove, make sure you have shaved within a half-hour of first pitch, stand at full attention for the national anthem, do not step on the chalk lines, brush your teeth vertically in front, horizontally in the rear, floss carefully, make sure you have enough quarters for the parking meters and, most important of all, treat the home plate umpire with the utmost of respect.
You have to. It's just a courtesy for blind people.
After Mark Carlson's performance behind the plate last night, Angel Hernandez might look like the model of consistency. I'm a union guy through and through, but even I have a hard time justifying what is essentially life tenure for umpires irrespective of talent or temperment.
So the same team some posters were so concerned that the Nats struggled to take 3 of 4, the Brewers, just swept the Reds.
It's not WHO you're playing, it's HOW you're playing.
Honestly, I think Angel has been somewhat better since MLB broke up him and Joe West. Probably not the most popular of opinions, but there are way worse when it comes to calling balls and strikes and especially ejections. He hasn't ejected a single person yet this season.
That being said, if Gio so much as gives him a cockeyed glance after a bad call, he will probably get squeezed harder than a lime at a tiki bar.
Remember to vote for ESPN's web gem between Trout and Roger. with 2699 votes in now Roger is leading 53% to47% or 162 votes.
Here is the link
Gio and Kurt: Reunited and it feels so good! (Yup, had to break out the cheezy Peaches and Herb Reference)
GO GIO! GO 9 INNINGS! GO BATS!! I think Werth will be the one tonight to do the damage.
Please, let's get the Offense rolling Nats!
Gonat......man am I with you. Please, how about a laugher for a change?
OK, I just pounded the strike zone for a while on ESPN for the Shark. All those people in LA are going to be getting home from work, or the beach, or wherever, later on, so we probably need to build a cushion. Keep at it, Insiders.
check Coco's response to Trout's catch.
Trout's catch was amazing, no doubt but catches like that are made more often than people realize. To be honest, I still think Bernie's catch from a year or two ago is better than any I have seen, except maybe Ichiro's wall climbing one.
Carlson was awful last nigh, no pitcher on either side and most batters had a clue what was going to be called.
Angel Hernandez can be no worse (though he has bee bad in the past).
Shark now up 8% after 2857 votes. If you haven't vote yet do so.
Gio going seven won't be much help if they have to play fourteen.
Oh, and no mention yet of the fact that Gallaraga was a throw-in piece, with Wilkerson and Termell Sledge, from the Nats on the Soriano trade?
NatsJack,
'It's not WHO you're playing, it's HOW you're playing.'
That's what I'm worried about.
I wasn't that impressed with Trout's catch at the time, and I was the first to say so. Desmond had a better play that same day.
We have to score some runs. Would have loved to see Werth at the top of the lineup.
As the poet Roger Miller once sang,
"it’s the code of the west:
heed the word of your sisters--
the code of the west,
make a left turn from sin.
the code of the west,
keep an eye on temptation, recite the quotation
that says when Satan calls your name
it doesn’t matter how you played the game ‘cause all he cares about is
'did you win?'"
after 2885 votes Shark up 10% About 288 botes Keep it going
Great to see the Shark pulling away in the vote. Go Insiders!
Grandstander -- good point about Angel and Joe. That combination was nothing but trouble. Two guys trying to impress each other with how macho they are. How were you able to find out that Angel hasn't tossed anyone this year? Is there a website that keeps track of that?
Speaking of useless but fun baseball trivia, Harper's homerun trot on Saturday was the second fastest in MLB that day at 19.25 seconds. (Espi's fifth slowest at 23.54.) I just love that. Harper still has the fastest trot of the year in MLB (16.35 seconds on May 26). The kid sets records everywhere he goes.
sorry voyrd hit the wrong key
This was a great catch *this year* but Bernadina's catch last year was by far my favorite all-out catch of all time, even after that crazy, superman year Willie Harris had in 08. I still marvel at it when I see it in the highlights.
I believe that Baseball Tonight airs at 7 PM ET. Does the poll close then or continue during the broadcast?
2959 votes still up 10%, Keep the cushion
Were there also plenty of naysayers at the time who did not properly appreciate Bernie's catch? Like, were you the only one saying it at the time? :-)

Dang, Trout gained a point. Back to voting.
in case people forgot,
still love it.
didn't know armando was expos's trade bit for soriano. I think we made good use of him then. thanks for that, sofa.
Okay, back to up by 10. Gotta go ice my hand and make dinner.
I thought Bernie's catch last night was better than the one last year. He took a bad route to that one. Plus, the game saving situation just can't be beat - -except maybe by that perfect game saving catch by the White Sox centerfielder a few years back.
And let's get serious, Trout's catch was a great catch. Just not as good as the Shark's.
The Wise catch was very cool.
The comments on the ESPN voting page are hilarious. CA is waking up folks, but there are now more votes from DC than from AZ. Well done!
I hope in future, fans will appreciate these catches as much as we appreciate these now and the catches of previous generations.
3075 votes still 10% lead
Interesting info from Amanda:

Chien-Ming Wang's rehab assignment has been effectively ended as he's still complaining of hip soreness. He's still on the DL.

Davey said he has to stay off of Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard tonight so Edwin Jackson is in the bullpen. It's his throw day.
The sharks catch got a brief shout out on PTI ...
GYFNG! May Gio have a happy reunion, and be lights out, with Kurt. May the game be a laugher on OUR side, and another defeat for the Astro's (they can win FRIDAY!). And may Jayson's legs hold up under him, brilliantly.
GYFNG!
Wow! Ejax in the bullpen!
Did Comak say which member of the Nats FO kicked Wang in the hip?
Yes, there is a website that tracks ejections. Here it is, you can waste a lot of time on it.
ejections
Also on MLB Network's Intentional Talk.
The sharks catch got a brief shout out on PTI ...
Is Wang going on the 60-day?
Natslady, I think he just stays on the 15 day.
How about the guy that broke his shoulder saving Cain's perfect game? (I think it was Cain).
NatsLady.. Mets guy for Johan's game broke his shoulder
Speaking of perfect games Armando Galarraga is the kid who pitched the 28 out perfect game.
My favorite of the comments:
Nick Piecoro@nickpiecoro"Everybody has bad at-bats -- except McCutchen." -- Kirk Gibson
Voting still going went from 3132 to 3165 the last 5 minutes. Same 10 point lead.
Sorry, MicheleS--knew it was someone. That was a pretty fantastic catch also.
They're also arguing about votes, i.e., why all the AZ votes for Trout? Duh, I don't know - maybe because the Angels have a rookie-league affiliate there? :-)
Er, make that e.g.
1a, those arguments are fun to read. People are so into it, it is hilarious.
Now BBTN givingTrout more coverage, but the gap is now 12% keep it up Shark. 3197 votes
Jackson, being the team player that he is, probably volunteered for BP duty. Would that he was as good a pitcher as he is a team-mate.
I know, Faraz. I think they all need to get a grip. It's a fan vote on a sports network site. :-)
All those people in LA are going to be getting home from work, or the beach, or wherever, later on, so we probably need to build a cushion. Keep at it, Insiders.
Typical LA fans, showing up late. ;-)
Come on Kyle, giving up a hit to Tim Hudson of all people. Braves lead 3-1 early in the game. I have no shame in rooting for Phillies this series.
On the other hand, just keep winning our games.
Good for EJax. Team Guy.
OK, I just went and threw another inning at ESPN on Shark's behalf. Stay on top of it, and we should be fine.
is anyone having trouble watching free game of the day over at mlb site?
And EJax is a fine pitcher, best 4th starter in MLB.
I sense a shark attack coming on.
That thud you just heard was CMW's career. I hate to be negative, but this guy was a total waste of the Lerners' money. Error, Rizzo. A rare E-1.
CMW.. No harm no foul, didn't cost us prospects, and it was the Lerner's $$$, so no one should be calling them cheap.
CMW was a perfectly reasonable gamble. If all such gambles paid off, they wouldn't be gambles.
Shark is officially the reigning Web Gem.
This year was a loss, but the end of last season got back quite a bit of that expense, in terms of production. Boz did a piece detailing that argument, anyway, last fall I think it was. It was worth a shot--didn't pan out. Oh well. Everything that doesn't work out isn't a fail.
NCN--excactly. Look at Ben Sheets. Who is to say in advance it will work? The injury in Spring Training was the end, I think.
Its official just saw Shark is the reigning Web gem now. Ramirez of Milwaukee was the early show number 1. A solid play that Zim dows reggularly. Remember to vote tomorrow when the new poll is up.
Michele, is the voting closed, then? I don't think so.
Zofa.. They named it as the reigning gem, and not Trout.
They're still taking votes. They just took a bunch of mine, anyhow. Over 3,000 total.
Maybe I'll just keep voting, to tick off the Trout fans and ESPN guy.
Happy to see Edwin Jackson in the bullpen and I'm sure he's a 'team guy,' but I think his bullpen assignment is more a function of this being his regular throwing day between starts.
Separate issue: Anyone else having problems with MLB.tv?
LOL good idea Sofa. I love Trout's play as much as anyone but Bernie's catch was better, given the situation and all.
Eugene, MLB is tweeting that they are having problems with Radio & TV streams, they are working on it.
Zofa, keep going, Kruk and Ravi think Trout was better.. Whatever.
haha, I'm also going to vote to make the ESPN guys mad.
LORD Lombo.. for once Bo holds up a stop sign and he runs threw it.
Thx MischeleS. At least GameDay seems to be working.
They have 3rd base coach for a reason. Lombo Porter says stop, you stop in the first inning. Never looked up. That is bad baserunning.
Minute Maid Park sucks I think this place is cursed. All this wacky crappy things keep happening here.
Why is it ALWAYS Angel Hernandez in the middle of these snafus?
Lombo? Good grief.
Well, nice SF by ALR.1-0
Uh-oh, what's up?
Balk!
Wow, curiouser and curiouser!
Carp just said they are getting rid of that dumb hill in center field. good.
As Zection3 called it last night, MicheleS, "the kitchen sink of weird."
Now we hear the hill is going away next year.
What's going up in its place? Condos? A swimming pool? Tanning salon?
Did anybody see the balk?
This park is cursed! Just a crazy call, even if it was to our advantage.
Net effect -Zimm on second.
What's going up in its place? Condos? A swimming pool?
--------------------
Maybe a small moat, like in the steeplechase?
They are going to put statues out there where the hill is.
Galarraga almost put none in the strike zone, and we managed only 1 run. We swung at least 4 balls guys. What is that all about. Make him throw strikes. A walk is a good as a single. He will walk you if you let him.
Lombo thought he was Bryce, or even Bernie. He's not. Watch your coach and obey him, especially in the 1st inning.
Two statues: Biggio, and Jack in the Box.
Well, Bernie scored on running through the stop sign Monday night, right? ;-)
Ryan declined the honor, citing "the damn weirdness of the whole thing"
By the wa he bakled the pitch before, and I was complaining they didn't call it. You ahve to come to a stop and he didn't 2 times in a row and was called on it the second time.
Did Gio not get the message? Three pitches hung in the middle three hits already. If we had just hits balls in the middle and not swung at balls not close we would ahve score a lot more.
Just curious, are you typing on a phone?
Mazda sponsors the Defensive Outfield screen, and Suzuki gets a free plug.
Sure is nice to see people in Nats gear at these away games.
NO WAY GIO!!!! HOW AWESOME!!
GIO
Did what GameDay said just happen actually happen?
GIO!!!!!!!!
Who needs middle of the order thunder? Our pitchers can take care of themselves...
We do have some good hitting pitchers.
Hmmmph.... No Audio feed, on MLB At Bat...? Hmmmmph....
Now I want to know the Gallaraga/Suzuki history...Gio sticking up for his boy...
Gio makes up for his 3 bad pitches in the first with a 2 run tater. He is plus 1.
We still need him to go deep into this game.
Well, maybe Gio can't pitch too good tonight, but Gio sure can hit good tonight!
Curiouser & curiouser!
Eugene, MLB says they have the problem fixed on the streaming.
Swift, now he doesn't get a warning, or risk getting himself and Davey tossed. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Det is now on the clock for a dinger.. hmmm. when will he get his.
Thx, MicheleS. For Nats game the audio is now working, but not the TV. Will keep checking.
I think Det needs to eat a couple sandwiches before that's possible.
I like the way our pitchers protect our guys - with a BAT! Capone style!
Eugene/UnkyD.. others with streaming issues:
MLB@MLB
UPDATE: Problem has been isolated and resolved. Every live feed across every device, if not already available, will be accessible shortly
And Ryan Howard just tied it up 6-6 in the 5th inning with the Braves
Off-topic but relevant: Ryan Howard's three-run shot ties Phils with Braves 6-6.
Just when I think I can't love Gio more, I find out I'm wrong. And what a fun way to find out.
A few more and we will have our laugher and know we can all go to bed early and happy.
Whoops. Late. Again. You have to be pretty quick off the blocks to beat Michele "Usain Bolt" S.
Sunshine, it's the business level high speed internet access that I have at the house. Boss pays for it.
I have never seen MicheleS and Usain Bolt in the same room. Coincidence? I think NOT!
My family would fall down laughing at the Usain Bolt comparisons, since I run like Stras.
I've been googling, but I can't find any reference to bad blood or a beef between Gallaraga and Suzuki yet. I think he's only pitched to him once before.
If anyone cares, the crack WJFK radio team just explained that on the sacrifice vs. balk, if Adam LaRoche had gotten a hit, the hit would have superseded the balk and Mr. LaRoche would have gotten the RBI. Since it was 'just' a sacrifice, the balk took precedence (because it also advanced the runner who was on first).
Galarraga. One L, two Rs.
@Usain Bolt: Michele, you interested in Mets-Nats game a week from Sunday, Aug. 19? I got an extra ticket, in the shade, down first base line?
Eugene, that and the balk doesn't cost them an out.
Zat iz zo; ezactly.
And while things are slow--
The Nats have a half-off promo that includes the Braves games coming up. I got good seats, last night.
TravelZoo, Nats Tix
Sunshine.. I am already there! Take your mother in law.. she will love it.
Such a slow tempo, the catcher is doodling in the dirt behind home plate. He has written half of Moby Dick.
Wait, did Kristina just say it was "Waterless Wednesday" for the starters? WTH does that mean???
@MicheleS: No offense, but she was first call. But she's at the beach that week.
OK, I went back and listened again. She said "Waterless Wednesday."
If Altuve jumps to reach a high liner, but is just an inch short, is it scored an error, given that the average player would have had it?
@MicheleS: Would you at least stop by Section 134 an hour or so before the game? I'm in Row double-P. In the shade.
ehay, no, but Ghost would probably say if you asked Altuve he'd say he should have caught it.
I kid.
let this be Armando's last inning. Come on Nats.
ESPN guys are talking Nats and SS during SF vs STL game.
Sorry, should have used a ;-) after my Altuve question. :-)
That called third strike on Bam-Bam almost hit the dirt.
Where does Angel Hernandez park his guide dogs at the park when he works a game?
Bryce should not argue with Angel, that will come back to haunt him somewhere down the line.
Actually, thinking about it, it's not fair to not give an error to Altuve there, but then give one to Dunn when he can't reach down to get a ground ball.
;-)
Lol Sunshine!
Hernandez is liable to call a balk on Bryce next time around.
Except for Laz and Country Buffet Boy Joe West, Worst Umpire Ever.
Sunshine, very funny @ 9:15.
the dirt in the RH batters box.
Well, it's a pretty bad strike zone both ways. So there's that.
The role of Bob Davidson tonight is being played by Angel Hernandez.
Balks all around! Put them on Angel's tab.
Well, at least they didn't manufacture the run by stealing that time...
I can't believe it is back to a 1 run game. The Nats have 1 clutch hit and its by the pitcher.
This has to turn around. Galaragga stinks.
FP is not having a good game. First the phantam Suzuki/Gallarando history based on a phantom "look" that Suzuki gave him. Then the ridiculous "taking one for the team" as if ALR cares about 1 RBI vs the chance for a big inning, and then forgetting about Zim's 30 game hitting streak (if he ever knew about it), speculating that the longest hitting streaks in the teams history were by Vlad or Vidro "at least in the 20s." Carp is trying not to show him up as he corrects him, but having a tough time.
What's the story with Galarraga? He's got an all-but-perfect game, has taken no-hitters into the late innings a few times, as I recall, and yet he knocks around like the PTBNL.
FP is tired, it's a long season, and he hasn't been able to start partying until well after midnight this series.
The pitchers has nothing he falls behinds most the hitters nd with good hitting counts we are flubbing away. Come on guys get hits.
Hmmm, maybe FP isn't the only one partying... I'm not judging, I'm just saying.
Oh, you just KNOW that Angel goes out clubbing. With those eyes, all the girls are keepers!
umpiring is awful. But so is our hitting in this series. When do we face cole hamels again?
Sure glad we got suzuk. Can't hit cant throw. HEY WAIT, EITHER CAN JESUS
Secret, please leave religion out of it. Thanks.
Go nat I agree. if we split this series we will look back and say we were lucky. Time to give Bryce a day off. Play Roger
I wonder if those kids asked for the Harper autographed balls or that's what the Nats offered? They should have held out for a trip to DC in October and playoff tickets!!
11-6 ATL up now on the Fils.
UGHH the Phils stink. Thanks for nothing.
Here comes Jesus Suzuki. hope he hits him.
Secret, we are still winning, so why is it that you are so negative?
Just nervous I guess.
I chope Gio fers bases loaded.
what you do here?
No reason to be nervous, look at our winning percentage!
:-)
He's not negative, he's the sock puppet alter ego of another poster here, who's not too popular, so he splits his neg ratings. Not a bad strategy, really, if you're committed to it.
Ghost Of Steve M. said...
I chope Gio fers bases loaded.

____________________________
Grand Salami time!
hahhaha I wouldnt pitch to Gio either. His a homerun monster. LETS GO NATS.
If I'm Gio, I'm sitting dead red with a new pitcher in.
ehay, don't look now, but I think everybody here is drunk except us ... and I'm not so sure about us.
ok now we need a big hit. LOMBO do
I think you go with Tyler Moore here, but hey, that's just me. Go get 'em Lombo!
Tyler more for bryce
awful. that was ball 2
Not to be negative, but this is sad. Lombo lays an egg.
Like I said before the at-bat, I would have pinch-hit. You have Izturis to play 2nd now.
I'm visualizing ... deep.
Payback.
Angel Hernandez...
Wow. That's just.
Wow.
Angel is powerful, Angel demands respect. Or he is just an ass.
You called it Michele. Angel has it in for Bam-Bam. I'm surprised he hasn't run him yet.
Angel hernandez has made this personal. Absolutely ridiculous. Shame on him. Those balls are unhittable and not strikes
I officially take back what I said about Hernandez.
Again harper called out on a ball outside the stike zone. The major leagues only need about 72 guys toumpire and we cannot find 72 good umpires in America? I find it shocking because about 50% are so inconsistent and have no clue how to call a strike, and MLB has no understanding that there is a problem in this area. It is fairly easy to fix if they wanted to.
They are doing it on purpose. How can you miss so many chances? They have no energy.
That is sad. Angel Hernandez has to respect the game. That was ball 4. Ball 5 was a little closer.
In all seriousness is there anything the Nats can do? Like reporting that to the league... I mean this is just sick. How freeeeken unprofessional can he be ALLOWED to be????? I am fuming now.
When one goes to someone's house and the host keeps offering gifts, it's only polite to accept them with thanks and grace. Nats not being very polite in Minute Maid Park.
Angel Hernandez is a freaking joke. The MLB needs to get rid of some of these "veteran" umpires. They suck.
Time for Davey to go postal
I'm speechless, out of respect for Mark.That just wasn't fair.

"He had a great game," Johnson said. "Just relax. Catch your breath. Let me let some of the other guys get into it."
So Tyler Moore will get the start tonight in left field, with Jayson Werth shifting to center field and Michael Morse shifting to right field. Look for more lineup finagling in the coming days as Johnson tries to find opportunities to keep Moore, Steve Lombardozzi and Roger Bernadina fresh.
As for tonight's game, Edwin Jackson is on the mound, looking to bounce back from a bit of a ragged start last week in Arizona (though he did still earn the win that night). Left-hander Jon Niese pitches for the Mets.
Plenty of updates to come, so please check back...

7:07 p.m. -- We are underway on an absolutely gorgeous night in the nation's capital. 81 degrees and barely any hint of humidity as Edwin Jackson starts off Ruben Tejada with a fastball for strike one.
7:12 p.m. -- Jackson pitches his way around a one-out triple by Mike Baxter to keep the Mets from scoring in the top of the first. Have to give an assist to Ryan Zimmerman, who made another nifty grab of David Wright's smoked grounder to third and nearly tagged Baxter out before throwing to first for the out.
7:25 p.m. -- A couple of hits from Danny Espinosa and Zimmerman in the bottom of the first, setting the table for the big boys in the Nats lineup. But Michael Morse flied out to right and Adam LaRoche's wheels weren't quite fast enough to beat out a grounder to second. So it remains scoreless after one.
7:35 p.m. -- Good stuff from Jackson so far. He struck out a pair in the top of the second, both on swings and misses, and has needed only 28 pitches to get through two scoreless innings.
7:48 p.m. -- Man, does Jackson have a devastating slider tonight, or what? He's struck out four of the last six batters, three on sliders, and has completed three scoreless innings.
8:05 p.m. -- Jackson's dominance continues in the top of the fourth as he strikes out another pair. That's six total strikeouts for the game, all of them coming in a span of nine batters, all of them swinging. The right-hander really has displayed a killer fastball-slider combo so far tonight, keeping the Mets completely off-guard. Not that the Nats lineup is doing much of anything against Niese. They've compiled only those two first-inning singles so far, so this remains a 0-0 game in the middle of the fourth.
8:21 p.m. -- I assume somebody will score before this game ends, right? Because nobody has seriously threatened yet, and we've reached the halfway point of the game. Jackson just needed all of 10 pitches to finish off a 1-2-3 fifth inning. He's got seven strikeouts now, still all of them swinging. And the game is still scoreless.
8:37 p.m. -- Make it 10 strikeouts (and zero walks) for Jackson through six scoreless innings. Complete dominance from the right-hander tonight. Now, if only his teammates could scratch out one run off Niese...
8:49 p.m. -- They couldn't do it in the bottom of the sixth. Espinosa beat out a slow dribbler to lead off the inning but was stranded at first base. Zimmerman sent a long flyball to the warning track, Morse struck out for the second time tonight and LaRoche was robbed of a hit (possibly extra bases) by Ike Davis' nifty scoop at first. Onto the seventh inning of a scoreless game.
8:58 p.m. -- Well, that just changed in a hurry. Jackson walked Wright to lead off the seventh, nearly taking his head off on ball four. Then Davis crushed the very next pitch into the left-field bullpen for a two-run homer. Just like that, the Mets have taken a 2-0 lead despite only two hits tonight. And just like that, the Nats find themselves needing to score at least two runs before making nine outs.
9:01 p.m. -- On a brighter note: A sellout crowd of 42,662 (second-largest in Nationals Park history) paid to attend a pennant race game tonight instead of staying home to watch exhibition football. Well done, everyone.
9:05 p.m. -- If I told you Edwin Jackson's final line would read: 7 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 11 K, 1 HR ... you'd probably take that, right? What if I told you that wouldn't be good enough to earn the win? A great start wasted. Ryan Mattheus in for the eighth, the Nats still down 2-0.
9:15 p.m. -- Well, Terry Collins just pulled Jon Niese one out into the eighth. This would probably be an appropriate time to point out the Mets bullpen has a 5.05 ERA, worst in the majors. Jon Rauch in to face Werth.
9:22 p.m. -- No rally in the eighth as Rauch retires Werth and Espinosa. So the Nats are down to their final three outs. They still trail 2-0 as we head to the ninth.
9:33 p.m. -- Last chance for the Nats. Frank Francisco on the mound. Zimmerman, Morse and LaRoche due up.
9:42 p.m. -- That'll do it. A very frustrating 2-0 loss for the Nationals before a sellout crowd that waited all night to explode and never got the opportunity to do it.

fun stuff!!
The Land Shark is considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the Great White shark, which tends to inhabit the waters and harbors of recreational beach areas, the Land Shark inhabits baseball parks and will strike at any time during the course of game. It is capable of disguising its voice, and generally preys on National League teams in the East.
lol
Natslady isn't going to be happy with this outfield. Moore and Morse in the outfield. Plus Jayson in center.
Recent Land Shark attack: MinuteMaid Park, Houston, TX.
Brett Wallace: swings his bat, the ball takess off
Voice: (mumbling) Mr. Allaccehhh?
Wallace: Who?
Voice: (mumbling) Mr. Wallace?
Wallace: Who is it?
Voice: Flowers.
Wallace: Flowers for whom?
Voice: Plumber, sirm.
Wallace I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?
Voice: Candygram.
Wallace: Candygram, my foot! now wwatch my game winning hit and you get out of here before I call the police! You're the shark, and you know it!
Voice: Wait. I-I'm only a dolphin, sir.
Wallace: A dolphin? Well... Okay. ahhhhhhhhh
This is FUN!!!!
GYFNG!!!
Davey is doing a terrific job with this team. Imagine having Harp, Bernie, Tracy and Lombo on the bench if the Mets bring in a RH reliever in a key situation to pitch to Moore, or Desi, or some other RH hitter, and Davey can counter with any one of those guys, if needed.
EJax is starting to remind me a little of Henry. There is a good EJax and a bad EJax. We need the good one to show up tonight. Niese is pretty good.
The all RH outfield. If this works it could be the blueprint for the remainder of the season.
Also significant that Bull Moose is leading off and not Espi.
Should have said the blueprint vs LH pitching.
Love Werth as the lead-off.
Hoping for good Ejax tonight. Or at least a hot hitting line up to counter balance if he is not.
Thirty games over .500. Sorry, I can't take it - air is too thin at this altitude, can't breathe...
Ah, screw it. Hypoxia is a small price to pay...
GYFNG!!!
And Espinosa is in the slot Davey thinks he would fit best in.
Werth could be the perfect #1 hitter. Someone who knows how to get on anyway he can yet still packs enough power to garner respect from pitchers. If accepts the role and it seems like he just might this time ...
Valddespin in the Metropolitans' starting lineup. Good omen.
NatsJack - what section?
Any of you who are parents - do you often find the care and feeding of Bryce Harper humorous? He got two hits last night, including a home run. After the game Davey called attention to his missing the cutoff man. Is Bryce in time out? I have been reading some tweets about how Bryce reacts, things he needs to learn to accept. Like the fact that some of the other little boys need a turn to play. Seems like parenting 101 to me. Some days he seems more like 19 than others.
What a bunch of IDIOTS on Fox (Yankees-Sox).They're back on the Stras shutdown & are saying that no one supports it and that there are no reasons to support it.
Tim McCarver having conniptions and Fox doing 1933 cost of living graphics related to the last time DC was in pennant race. IDIOTS!
We've waited this long so why make Strasburg a human sacrifice?
Candide, you're being sarcastic, right? Valdespin has been a Nat killer.
Danny -
Mr. Applegate has already taken care of it.
No, NatsNut, Valdespin has been a Nats killer when he pinch hits.. Not so great when he's starting, and I'd ge's starting that means he can't pinch hit.
Get with the code, dude! ;-)
Thx Wendell. I heard the FOX idiots too. And impressed that they dragged out 1933 numbers with graphIcs to press their point of how long DC has been waitIng. They do anything to stir the pot.
mick @ 4:06 -- love it!
Actually one of the few OK Clint moments was last night in one of the pre-game competitions when the contestants we're asked to identify pictures of various kinds of sharks. One of the choices was actually "land shark" -- and when one of them chose it, Clint said "well, you'll make someone from SNL very happy!"
Almost made him likable at the time...
Haha. Got it!
Going for 30 games over .500!
GYFNG!!
Wendell, just curious, does your comment mean you support shutting Stras down 100% ?
WHERE WAS MOORE on that hit? Ball got past Werth and Moore was nowhere around.
But Ejax left that ball up really fat and juicy for the hitter.
Thanks, SteadyEddie.
Did Werth hurt himself diving for the ball? He did not look well after catching the flyball.
Pretty quiet here tonight. Are all the NI people at the game?
The good EJax.
I'm here - post away. Offense putting a little pressure on the pitcher in the first. Keep it up.
I don't have a TV so it's nice when I do get a chance to watch the game on TV, but I couldn't really take Ray Knight for very long. Had to mute and put Charlie and Dave on. When is FP supposed to be back?
back to back to back jacks against Sheets, 3-1 Dodgers.
MicheleS, I just heard about Sheets. Repeat after me, small sample size.
Jackson looking great.
You folks can't say I didn't warn you about the impending Ben Sheets breakdown. Again, think rusted-out 1977 Olds Cutlass. Nothing left in the tank.
Mark, anytime you're ready for a trip to the stands, go ahead. We'll wait.
Edwin looking really good tonight.
NatsNut I think FP is gone just for the weekend. It's his daughter's birthday. He has been watching and tweeting humorous things. I appreciated Ray Knight's career and I love his wife, but this is not his forte. Would rather have had Byron Kerr or Phil Wood.
Ejax is throwing nasty stuff tonight. Slider sets up fastball down and in to lefties. Sweet.
Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me said...You folks can't say I didn't warn you about the impending Ben Sheets breakdown.
You didn't warn us about the impending Ben Sheets breakdown.
I has a keyboard. I can says anythings I wants.
Sunshine does get credit for calling Sheets' downfall in a thread a while back. I seem to recall the Cutlass reference
Time to break out the jamage meter!
Two things. As for when FP will be back, I heard Bob Carpenter say, assuming I heard correctly, that he was gone "for the home stand", staying West. I guess that means he misses the Braves series, though hard to believe.
The other thing has to do with how the Nats attendance is reported. I was there last night, walked around the stadium, and you could count the empty seats in the hundreds, that's all. Yet attendance was announced at under 35k. All I can figure is that season ticket holders get points that entitle them to a bunch of free extra tickets (like around 25 a season per seat), and maybe there were a bunch of freebies in the seats last night. Otherwise, I don't get it, the place was very close to full.
Just figured out that if you stream the game on At Bat, you can delay the TV feed to match with Charlie and Dave's calling of the game! Heaven!
I thought it was just me and the Mrs! Ray Knight is gawd awful as a game time commentator.Hurry back, FP!
And did you hear Dave J just say why Ryan Dempster couldn't make the trip to Toronto to pitch for the Rangers? Because he couldn't find his passport! And he's Canadian.
Alright now we need some bats guys.
He was with the Cubs, why would he need to go to Canada (during the season) after interleage play ends?
Now, about these immigrants taking our jobs... ;-)
EJax has been great!
Ray is a good post-game analyst. During the game, different skills are required.
Thanks Ehay2K for the institutional memory. I still say it's a sign of the Barves' desperation that they even signed Sheets to begin with.
Espi, deadly from the right side! Lol.
NatsTown is rocking. Need some Nats O!!!!
Dodgers lead the Braves 6-1 now!
Sunshine - my thoughts exactly. You knew they had a problem early in the season when they picked up Livo as quickly as they did. (And I love me some Livo, but that was a desperate pickup even to me. )
Barves lacked quality pitching depth all year.
eyay2K,
Dempster is with the Rangers now. Roy Oswalt had to make take his start.
oh. oops. eyay2K =ehay2K, although I like the yay better. LOL
Natsnut, I know - I said Dempster WAS with the Cubs, which is why he didn't need a passport after Interleague play ended (Expos gone and all.)
oh. oops again ehay2K. you meant he hasn't needed it for a long time. Sorry!
On the other hand, one could argue that Texas is a foreign country, so he should have had his passport ready.
ok, crawling under a rock now.
FP's tweet said he would be back for the Phillie's series. Write MASN and ask for Dan Kolko or Byron Kerr instead of Ray Knight next time that happens.
Way outside on Moore.
I'm ignoring a two-hit, 2-0 deficit for the moment.
On attendance, though no one else has responded and maybe cares, I note that tonight's game is a sellout, and I assume one reason is no season ticket points tickets were allowed for this game.
Does Ejax have issues throwing from the stretch?
Zuckerman just tweeted that the skins are on the tube and we still have a sell out!
Wow the town is catching on.
A lot of Skins fans are partial to 3rd Eye Blind, apparently.
thanks eddie, lol
I had to wash some dishes, how did Mets get their 2 runs? Good pitching duel tonight
Walked Wright, then Ike hits a HR.
thanks ehay
Ejax I thought pitched well
He did pitch well. Probably could have gone back out. Davey is either saving Ejax for the postseason, or his ear from Bryce's chirping! :-)
Niese is a hell of a pitcher
Does tattoo removal hurt more on the back of your neck?
ehay2k agreed
sell out proves this town is into BASEBALL, by the way how are the skins doing, lol
I don't remember Rauch ever throwing 94 for us.
Time for a LAND SHARK ATTACK, lol
If we can keep it 2-0, I have a good feeling in 9th
Mick, this town craves a winner. Explains why the Kastles sell out.
Go Dodgers!!!
Ejac only gave up 2 hits, not bad
Lol - mick= misty may
With Davis and Wright you would think the Mets would be a tad better
Who's Tad?
lol ehay, ha ha ok
What a strange game - EJax and Mattheus were as sharp as I have ever seen either of them. We have more hits than the Mets. Weird.
swami... but give Neise credit, very under rated pitcher
and a 216 hitter is having a great game against us
I know this may be heresy here... but Brandon Banks just ran back a 91 yd TD punt.... now let's get 3 in the 9th boys!!
Playing right into our hands
Who is Brandon Banks? And what was he thinking? What was in watching? Where was he going?
Uh oh - Phillies are gaining on us! Win tomorrow, take the series, keep going.
Perfect example of why a 1 game playoff is an absolute JOKE!!. Mediocre pitcher gets hot. Thats why we have to win this division.
At least the Dodgers won. :-)

Preview: Mavericks (4-1) at Knicks (3-0); streaking Mavs head into Madison Square Garden
Earl K. Sneed reports from New York and previews the Dallas Mavericks' matchup against Jason Kidd, Tyson Chandler and an unbeaten Knicks team, as the Mavs try to extend a three-game winning streak.
Preview: Mavericks (4-1) at Knicks (3-0); streaking Mavs head into Madison Square Garden
NEW YORK — Just four players remain in Big D from the Dallas Mavericks’ 2011 NBA championship roster.
But, with 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki (knee surgery) and four-time All-Star Shawn Marion (sprained left MCL) not available for the Mavericks (4-1) Friday night in New York, the Knicks (3-0) will have an equal amount of players from that title team on the floor, after 39-year-old veteran Jason Kidd followed center Tyson Chandler to the Big Apple in back-to-back offseasons of free agency.
Sweeping through a three-game homestand before heading out to New York and Charlotte on a two-game road trip, the Mavericks will enter Madison Square Garden a confident bunch despite the injuries to Nowitzki and Marion. And after seizing a 109-104 victory at home Wednesday night versus Toronto without four of their key contributors, the Mavs will look for similar success away from home.
“That’s an important game for us,” Mavs point guard Darren.”
Playing without Marion, who is slated to miss at least three games, as well as big man Elton Brand (birth of his daughter) and fourth-year guard Rodrigue Beaubois (sprained left ankle), the Mavs continued to roll behind two of their nine new additions this season. And after 2-guard O.J. Mayo and center Chris Kaman produced 22 points apiece to help lead the way, the Mavericks’ players also continued to show the ability to fill the void when veteran leaders are out, helping the team get off to a 4-1 start for the first time since the 2007-08 campaign.
“It was a great team effort [Wednesday night],” Mayo said after games of 30 points, 32 points and 22 points during the unbeaten homestand. .”
“We’ve got guys picking up where guys are injured, so it’s been a full team effort,” Kaman added. “We’re on a little bit of a roll and we’re just going to try to keep it going.”
Keeping it going against an unbeaten Knicks team Friday night will be challenging, however, as perennial All-Star and scoring threat Carmelo Anthony, Kidd and fellow newcomer Raymond Felton have led New York to its best start in 19 years even without power forward Amare Stoudemire due to a left knee injury.
And with Chandler anchoring the defense, the Mavs know they’ll have a hard time keeping up their offensive success against a squad allowing just 85.3 points on 40.7 percent shooting.
“We go on the road now and it gets tougher. … I mean, they’re a legit championship-contending team now, especially with Kidd on the team,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said of the Knicks. “I mean, he brings that winning presence to their situation, and you can just tell it’s really rubbed off on them in a big way. So, that’s gonna be a different kind of test for us, ‘cause they are playing good basketball.”
Note: The Mavs start off their two-game road trip by touching down in New York to face ex-Maverick Jason Kidd and the Knicks Friday night. The game will air locally at 6:30 p.m. CT on Fox Sports Southwest.

LEE COUNTY: Just 50 feet now separate Captiva and Sanibel Island. And as Blind Pass quickly fills with sand again, Captiva Erosion Prevention and county leaders are pointing fingers.
Lee County Commissioner John Manning and the president of the Captiva Erosion Prevention District met in a private session Thursday.
Manning says a compromise was reached. The county is now working to speed up a maintenance dredge to as early as March.
And the Erosion District has agreed to split the cost.
The kicker is that the county has a new estimate for continuous upkeep on Blind Pass - $3-million every five years or let the pass close and wildlife will die and business will suffer.
"When that pass is open we get people coming in here buying bait, tackle. People even rent rooms just because of Blind Pass," said John Jensen, of Jensen's Marina.
Less than two years ago, residents, the county and the state pitched in more than $3-million to reopen the pass.
The dredge was supposed to last twice this long as it did.

CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Chesterfield's Buckingham Wood is a small condo community of mostly seniors. Retirees -- who like Mary Kline -- have come to rely on the handyman skills of neighbor Ray Ellis.
"He always finds something to do or someone to help. He is Mr. Fix It," Mary said. "My garage door was acting up; he came over to help me see what was wrong. He has fixed washers on my faucets."
Mary revealed a long list of some Ray's repairs like when her closet rack collapsed.
"I had all my clothes on it, it fell down, he came over and he put it back up for me. He will change all the light bulbs in street lights and the clubhouse. If something minor needs to be done at the pool he'll go," she said. "We've recently been sick and every day he would ring the bell and bring the mail while we were sick. He is very deserving because he does so much for everybody."
"Here's $100, $200, $300, for Mr. Fix it" said Sabrina Squire.
Mary leads the way and we quickly find Ray lending a hand to neighbor Bob.
Mary Kline: "Hey Ray." Ray Ellis: "Hey Mary." Mary Kline: "We have something special for you. Well, we think Ray does so much for the community that he deserves a special thing."Ray Ellis: "Come on."Mary Kline: "You help us so much, you put papers at doors, and you change light bulbs. You help anybody that needs help even when somebody falls you're there to pick them up."Bob: "He just helped me."Mary Kline: "He helped you. Yeah helps so much in the neighborhood that we think that you so such special things that you're special so we're gonna present you with $300."Ray Ellis: "What? For what? I don't deserve this."Mary Kline: "Yes you do."Ray Ellis: "I just do what I love to do and help people."
Ray tells me him and his wife of 55 years love helping with their great-grandkids and their great neighbors.
"Thank you Mary," Ray said.

MILWAUKEE (AP) --.
Just don't try selling that line of thinking to anybody at Wisconsin.
Going into Thursday's regional semifinal game in Boston, the Badgers are confident they have a chance against Syracuse. But they don't necessarily see the Orange as vulnerable without their big man.

A clear mammogram, then 6 weeks later a bombshell
POSTED: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 6:30am
UPDATED: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 6:34am
WINDSOR, Conn. (CTNow) — With four kids and a dorm full of teen girls to watch, Bobbi Moran has always been incredibly busy, active and healthy. She went in for her yearly mammogram and was pleased to hear that nothing troubling appeared.
But just six weeks later, during a routine visit to her ob-gyn, she couldn't believe what she heard.
"The doctor said to me 'Is this something new?' She felt a lump and right away I was thinking, 'No, I never felt that before'," says Moran, describing the shape of the small protrusion as similar to a pencil eraser. An ultrasound was inconclusive, so she decided to go ahead with a biopsy. Then a phone call changed Moran's life forever.
"I remember at 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon on a rainy day, they said, 'You have cancer,' and you could've knocked me over with a feather," says this 46-year-old sports information director and varsity field hockey coach at Loomis Chaffee, a private high school in Windsor.
But a sudden difference or discovery in the breast isn't all that uncommon. "It can change very quickly," says Dr. Lori Gomez of Connecticut Valley Radiology in Bloomfield. "It can change within months, really."
Even though awareness has grown over the last decade, she believes that some of us continue to fear mammograms. "I still see women that come in every five years or they say they're worried about it being uncomfortable," says Gomez, noting that skilled technologists make the examination as quick and easy as possible.
She thinks it is more frightening not to sign-up for screening: "It really is a life and death issue." Once a woman is 35 or 40, depending on family and personal history, it is vital for her to begin to accumulate annual mammograms, so that doctors can compare the look of the breast tissue year after year. Thanks to new technology and heightened knowledge about the importance of self breast exams, there is much more hope for women who are diagnosed with the disease. "The treatments are only improving," says Gomez. "Early detection is getting better."
After a lumpectomy, Moran turned to a sisterhood of survivors for support: "I looked at them and said, 'You know what, she's been through this. I can do this, I can do this.''Because it's scary to go through it." She also shared her experience with the teenage girls she coaches and mentors by speaking honestly with them: "My big thing to them was, 'Cancer picked the wrong person to mess with,' and I think they really gained a lot of strength out of that."
Wearing pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Moran says she is now cancer-free. She plans to celebrate her one-year anniversary of completing radiation on Oct. 10 watching her team "Play for the Cure" during a very special field hockey game. She hopes her story of vigilance and early detection will inspire other women to act and to take care of themselves. "I think we are our own best advocates in this," says Moran. "Don't wait!"

New cell phone case developed in BR doubles as shocking form of self defense
POSTED: Friday, June 22, 2012 - 5:02pm
UPDATED: Monday, June 25, 2012 - 10:23am
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Watch out! this isn't your everyday iphone case. This one might get you!
A Baton Rouge-based duo is making and marketing a new type of iphone case that doubles as a line of defense - a stun gun. The Yellow Jacket iPhone case is still in the prototype phase, but should soon be available to buy.
The case's creator says the idea came to him after a man broke in to his home, stealing thousands of dollars in valuables.
“I started piecing together what I could of done differently. What I could of done to protect this from happening to me,” Seth Froom, creator of Yellow Jacket, said. “The solution I came up with was in that moment of exchange. When I had to hand him my phone - that was really the only opportune moment I had to turn the circumstances around.”
The Yellow Jacket phone case is only available for pre-orders right now. The Army reservist says he's been working on developing this taser case for about ten months.

BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — Livingston Parish Deputies threw a birthday bash for their top dog Tuesday. Sheriff Willie Graves turned 55 and all his co-workers were there to make sure he celebrated the right way. They had a big pot of gumbo and lots of food for the festivities.
This was a really special party for Graves. It will be the last birthday he celebrates as the sheriff.
"These are the types of things that I'll miss, getting together with the guys and girls for holidays and special occassions, and kind of having a fellowship and having time together, putting off work for a little bit," says Graves. "It's a great day!"
Graves retires on June 30th. Deputy Jason Ard will take his place.

BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — A man was arrested today for allegedly bringing a BB gun to a Southeast Middle School football game. He’s accused of pointing the weapon at students.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office reports that the incident occurred at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at the school located on S. Harrell’s Ferry Road. The suspect, Jeremy Jackson, 24, was at the football game because his girlfriend’s son is a student there.
Officials say Jackson became involved in a verbal disagreement with several juveniles. It was at this point that he allegedly pulled out the BB gun. Witnesses say he then gave the gun to his girlfriend’s son, who then started waving it in the air.
The juveniles involved with the incident did not initially report the incident, even though they claim the gun was pulled on them in a threatening manner. However, Jackson allegedly went to the school today, Thursday, Oct. 11, to check on his girlfriend’s son, and that’s when he was identified and the incident was reported.
Jackson was then confronted by deputies, but he denied owning the weapon. However, his girlfriend told deputies that he did own the gun and it was located at their residence. She then brought it to the school and it matched the description of the one described by witnesses.
It was at this point that Jackson admitted to having the gun at the football game.
Jackson was arrested for Illegal Carrying of a Weapon on School Property, Aggravated Assault and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Juvenile. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Students with information concerning this incident or similar incidents are encouraged to notify a school administrator, contact the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office at 225-389-5000 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (225) 344- STOP (7867). Students can also text "CS225" plus their message to CRIMES (274637).

The trailer for "How Do You Know," the latest romcom from TV legend James L. Brooks, has arrived and frankly there's not a lot of meat in that sandwich.
Reese Witherspoon is a professional softball player -- though you wouldn't know it from the trailer, Owen Wilson a pitcher for the Washington Nationals and Paul Rudd is a failing businessman facing a possible indictment. And of course, as in most of Brooks' films, Jack Nicholson is in the mix, as Rudd's father.
If you somehow haven't guessed yet, they're the three corners of a love triangle with Witherspoon engaged in some serious self-doubt and navel gazing. Would you believe that she comes to realize that ... no, wait, we don't want to ruin it for you.
In addition to being one of the greatest forces in television history, having helped create "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Simpsons" and "Taxi," Brooks has won three Oscars and earned eight nominations during his intermittent film-making career.
"How Do You Know" marks his first film since the disappointing "Spanglish," starring Adam Sandler, and it doesn't appear to represent a great improvement. But the man is a legend and deserves our respect, so we're hoping we're dead wrong about this one.
"How Do You Know" arrives Dec. 17.

They may be in between "Twilight Saga" movies at the moment – but Kristen Stewart obviously still "Remembers" Robert Pattinson.
The "Twilight" beauty hit the red carpet in New York City on Monday night for the premiere of Robert's latest film, "Remember Me."
Wearing tapered camel colored pants, a black top and black leather jacket, Kristen posed for photos on the red carpet solo.
Meanwhile, Robert posed with castmates Emilie de Ravin and Ruby Jerins before heading into the premiere at the Paris Theatre in NYC.
Over the weekend, Robert sat down with Access Hollywood to talk about his new film. And while he didn't discuss his much-talked about relationship with his "Twilight" co-star, he did joke about the opposite sex in general – specifically, one part of the female anatomy.
"Don't talk about vaginas, people are very sensitive about them!" Robert laughed, referring to all the controversy over his recent Details magazine spread where he said he was "allergic to vagina."
"Like, I know it's funny,"."

For brightness, glowworms got nothing on Mr. Green Genes. And for fright factor, neither do black cats. The 6-month-old feline may look like a standard-issue orange tabby in the comfort of daylight, but he turns a ghoulish shade of fluorescent green under the shroud of darkness!
But there’s no need to get spooked; Mr. Green Genes is not a ghastly creation out of a Halloween horror story. The glow-in-the-dark cat is the result of a genetic experiment gone right, not awry; he was cloned at the Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans to aid endangered species ... and down the line, humans as well.
The phosphorescent feline made his national television debut on TODAY Thursday. The studio went dark and Mr. Green Genes’ ears, nose and eyes glowed under an ultraviolet light.
The green gene
Betsy Dresser, senior vice president for the institute, explained to TODAY’s Amy Robach the process of producing a kitty that strangely glows, but is otherwise as normal as any of its brethren. “Two of our scientists at the center worked together with the Louisiana State University Heath Sciences Center,” Dresser said. “They introduced a gene that would then produce a protein that glowed fluorescent green.”
While it’s certainly a neat scientific parlor trick, Dresser told TODAY the research that led to the glowing cloned Mr. Green Genes is vitally serious — both to combat animal diseases via gene therapy and, later, to increase the possibility of inserting good genes into humans while taking bad genes out.
But to verify that the gene implants were working, scientists needed to try them out on a cat, because the animals have much of the same genetic makeup as humans. And to see if the genes actually made it into the finished, cloned cat, a gene was inserted that produces a fluorescent protein.
“We wanted to know for sure that we could insert this gene into a cell and have it multiply,” Dresser explained. “If nothing glows, we wouldn’t know if the gene was really inserted. So, because it glows, we know we inserted the gene and were successful with that technique.”
The nose glows
While Mr. Green Genes pawed playfully and rolled on his back for handler Kelly Trimble, Dresser explained that all the cat’s skin cells glow with the green fluorescent protein but, because it’s a furry critter, only the eyes, ears and nose display wattage under ultraviolet. “If we were to shave him, he would glow totally,” Dresser told Robach.
Dresser was also quick to note there is nothing cruel and unusual involved in producing a cat that glows in the dark. “It’s totally harmless,” Dresser said. “He’s just a normal cat; he doesn’t know he’s glowing.”
Normal or not, Mr. Green Genes might one day be considered a pioneer and hero in the advancement of genetics. For example, in endangered animal species that carry a gene making them prone to a specific disease, that gene could be pulled out at the embryo stage to give the species a better chance at surviving and prospering.
For mankind, it might lead to new innovations in treating diabetes, Dresser said. “In a diabetic human, there are genes that make insulin. If we can insert genes that make diabetics produce their own insulin, then we hope to stop diabetes.
“It’s helpful to both animals and humans,” she added.
But that’s the future. In the present, Mr. Green Genes can look forward to a normal life — unless he’s exposed to a black light, the secret of his glow is safe.
And Mr. Green Genes’ offspring might have a bright future too, Dresser said. “We’ll breed him and we’ll see if his kids glow, too!”

Jake Shimabukuro and his rockin' ukulele will appear at the Grammy Museum on Wednesday, Feb. 20 and The Canyon in Agoura Hills on Thursday, Feb. 21.
What's your favorite song to hear via a ukulele?
It's a question that has a few prisms to it. Much associated with traditional Hawaiian music, even up to a half century ago, the instrument has gone through a number of renaissances, rediscoverings, and cameos in unusual and delightful tunes. Christmas carols, 1920s Tin Pan Alley-type tunes, comedic ditties, and folk-sweet singalongs all regularly incorporate its melodious, string-twangy sounds.
Truly, how many instruments can lay claim to such breadth, as well as a proclivity for the offbeat? Brass? Percussion?
But music sensation -- a term not to be trotted out lightly -- Jake Shimabukuro is taking the guitar-esque icon to new places. New rocking places, we'll add; Van Halen and Queen are on his surprising repertoire.
You can enjoy and potentially be surprised by said repertoire in person, when the internet favorite makes for Southern California. He'll be at the Grammy Museum on Wednesday, Feb. 20 and The Canyon in Agoura Hills on Thursday, Feb. 21.
And, yep, we said "musical sensation" earlier. Here's how we'll qualify that: Mr. Shimabukuro's rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" certainly caught the eye and ear of the internet, to the tune of a million+ hits.

The map posted on the NYTimes website shows the way unemployment has impacted the nation county by county.
A map showing unemployment rates across the country gives you a look at a glance at the areas of the country that have been hit the hardest.
The graphic, posted on the NYTimes website, shows San Diego as doing better than neighboring counties Riverside and Imperial.
San Diego’s 7.4% unemployment rate in December 2008 was above the national average.
Riverside county saw 10.4 percent unemployment rate while Imperial County saw a 22.6 percent unemployment rate.
One thing that stands out is that the West Coast has been hit harder than sections of the MidWest.

Court officials said Tuesday that the murderer of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois will be sentenced much sooner than was originally scheduled
John Gardner pleaded guilty earlier this month to killing the North County teens. On Tuesday, prosecutors announced he will now be sentenced on May 14, not June first as first scheduled..
A representative for the medical examiner's office, however, said the King and Dubois reports should remain secret because they are "investigative files." The county also claims that "public interest" -- and the families' privacy -- are better served by keeping the reports sealed.
NBCSanDiego will appeal the medical examiner's decision.

Here, we show that the ratio, and not the absolute amounts, between these two oligomeric forms (HMW to LMW) is critical in determining insulin sensitivity. We define a new index, S(A), that can be calculated as the ratio of HMW/(HMW + LMW). db/db mice, despite similar total adiponectin levels, display decreased S(A) values compared with wild type littermates, as do type II diabetic patients compared with insulin-sensitive individuals. Furthermore, S(A) improves with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist treatment (thiazolidinedione; TZD) in mice and humans. We demonstrate that changes in S(A) in a number of type 2 diabetic cohorts serve as a quantitative indicator of improvements in insulin sensitivity obtained during TZD treatment, whereas changes in total serum adiponectin levels do not correlate well at the individual level. Acute alterations in S(A) (DeltaS(A)).
