Game 18: Nats at Mets

The Nationals got the win yesterday to even up the series against the Mets, but they did it despite a rough start by Gio Gonzalez. After Stephen Strasburg's forgettable outing on Friday and Gio's long Saturday afternoon, Washington will hope for something better out of Jordan Zimmermann in the series finale.
Zimmermann has already earned three wins on the season after allowing just six earned runs through his first 22 innings pitched. He has 11 career starts against New York with a 3.00 ERA across 60 innings. Last season against the Mets he went 1-0 with a 1.96 ERA, 0.957 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts.
Facing the Nationals' lineup will be right-hander Dillon Gee (0-3, 8.36 ERA) who has traditionally fared well against Washington. In six career starts vs. the Nats he is 3-1 with a 3.36 ERA.
The Nationals will look a little bit different with the addition of top prospect Anthony Rendon to the roster. He was called up on Saturday to replace Ryan Zimmerman who heads to the disabled list. We'll see what the kid has in store for his major league debut.
Enjoy the game…

We have people hear suggesting Espi should be benched while other think Espi should be the starting shortstop.I haven't looked it up but my impression from last season was that Espinosa hit far better playing shortstop when Desi went down than he did when playing second base.Espinosa clearly seems to prefer shortstop. And then he suffered the separation of the rotator cuff. There's a lot going on with Danny he's got a lot of drama and maybe some bad karma.
- JD - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Peric. They didn't pay Brad Lidge $13 mil. They are not replacing Haren with Rosenbaum or Karns any time soon.
- Gonat - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:06 PM
I would find it hard to believe there is correlation to a theory that moving a position to a more demanding position such as 2nd base to Shortstop made that player over the long-term a better batter.
- Gonat - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:11 PM
BTW, nice to see Kris Medlen losing again!
- NatsLady - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:16 PM
Atlanta is going next to Colorado, where the Rockies are hot as molten lava. Also, that is a bizarre environment there, which the Rockies are used to but the visiting teams are not. By the time you get acclimatized, you leave for the next city with your pitching and hitting all awry. (Our turn will come, but not until June.) Atlanta has lost 5 of 6 now, and their offense has been shut down by that great, ahem, Royals and Pirates pitching. Holes in the Atlanta lineup are starting to show. They are second to the Astros with 27% strikeout ratio (Astros are at 28%, and their pitchers don't bat). Nats are at 23% even with Danny and the pitchers. . The big culprits:BJ Upton – 22/66 = 33% of ABsJ Upton – 21/67D. Uggla – 20/56ATL battingAlso, mick, I doubt Rizzo is regretting Morse right about now. Morse is hitting .231. He's either still injured or slumping badly. His K% is 28.6% (Danny's is, wait for it, only 16%). But right now Span is one of those rare creatures (like Votto) whose BB% is greater than his K%. Plus he can field. As I said this morning, I have reservations about Rendon. Not saying he should not have been brought up with RZ's injury, but he is not, IMO, going to be ROY. I doubt it will harm his "development," but there is a big difference between Arizona Fall league, spring training, and AA-ball–as he is about to discover. (Please note, I didn't feel this way about Harper, I was a big advocate of him coming up as soon as was financially feasible.)The bullpen is righting itself, that is a good sign. (In my parking lot today I saw a Mama Duck with 7 ducklings. Mama Duck was pretty smart, she nudged the babies under the chain link fence and then she walked around it to get to them. McCatty is gonna bring his ducklings into shape).Now Davey needs to make the boys take infield until they get used to Rendon and Desi gets his focus.

Tomorrow Nats 5 Cards 3.I am for replacing anyone, I am for everyone playing up to their potential.
- NatsLady - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:24 PM
Jayson let the Mets off the hook with wanting to go for the hit instead of the walk. I doubt that will happen again. Also, JZ was very good about not letting the errors or Buck's HR get to him. Unfortunately, there was a cost, not only in pitchcount but in stress. I am really liking JZ's maturity, and I hope Stras is watching.
- peric - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:27 PM
Anthony Rendon is still a better hitter than Harper was when he came to the majors last year. He just doesn't approach the game like his "hair is always on fire" as Rizzo put it. He has a calmer, more professional demeanor but like Danny can be very intense.I think you'll find that Rendon will adapt to major league pitching and breaking balls fairly rapidly Natslady. Its his power that might take a back seat while he goes through that adjustment. That doesn't make automatically make him the ROY but it could give the Nats a consistent, reliable bat in the lineup as well as a smooth, almost flawless third baseman.Yes Span walks and Lombo doesn't but the problem is there's no one to drive these guys in consistently other than Harper. With Zim's bat gone and Morse's gone you are down to LaRoche and he appears to be regressing to his mean (see his seasons in Arizona).
- Rich P. - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:33 PM
"When asked about the 3-0 pitch Davey gruffly responded, "I'm not going to go into that." HE NEVER does that … at least as long as I've seen his interviews with the Nats. Maybe Mark can remember another time but I can't.Yeah he's pissed."No he's not. What he's doing here is not throwing his player under the bus.
- NatsLady - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:37 PM
peric, I'm sure Rendon will be a fine major-league hitter. But he isn't yet, and he made some misplays in the field during spring training. That said, this was his first game, I expect he was nervouse, especially in a such a close game. Apparently, due to an airline snafu, his folks were not at the game for his debut. I hope they are here tomorrow for his first HR and 5-4-3 doubleplay.
- DJB - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:41 PM
First, NatsLady, I agree with your analysis regarding Espi's SO's. I'm more concerned with his poor OBP and contact rate, which reflect a poor plate approach. SO's are over-emphasized as a statistic. Second, I have noticed that the bullpen has begun to right itself. That is a good sign. Third, Peric, there is no way Rendon is a better hitter than Bryce. Fourth, believe it or not, we are underutilizing Bryce because of the holes in the middle of our lineup. He appears to be the only one who can hit curveballs. A big departure from last year. Fifth, our hitting has always been spotty at times, but our pitching bailed the team out. If this begins to occur, I wouldn't care about a loss here or there.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:41 PM
NatsLady at 7:24 nicely put. JZim was impressive again although I want to see more sliders and a couple first pitch changeups. Holding the Mets to 2 runs with Dillon Gee who is very hittable is opportunity squandered. No shame to lose to Harvey but Dillon Gee?
- Gonat - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:44 PM
Rich P. said… No he's not. What he's doing here is not throwing his player under the bus. ___________________________________Perception is reality. By saying nothing, he left it up to interpretation. Sounds like many here felt his "I'm not going to go into that" was saying Jayson never should've swung out it and Davey was pissed.He didn't throw him under the bus but it's a very difficult situation to circumnavigate around.
- Gonat - Apr 21, 2013 at 11:52 PM
Michael Morse batting .231 and got a gift double when the RF misplayed the ball and could've been an error.On top of that, he has K'd 18 times in 15 games.Since he broke his pinkie his BA has dropped 62 points and no HRs since April 9th.
- Gonat - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:00 AM
NatsLady said… peric, I'm sure Rendon will be a fine major-league hitter. But he isn't yet, __________________________________Yah, no kidding and why would anyone compare them. Apples and oranges. I never liked the comparisons last year of Trout/Harper but they do play a similar game at least. Let these players show who they are and what they can do. I think right away Rendon was trying to power up. He's a gap hitter and to use that saying again, he needs to stay within himself and play his game.
- Rich P. - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:03 AM
Gonad, clearly you have never had the experience of someone having your back. You have my sympathies for that. Look, there was absolutely nothing Davey could have said in answer to that question that would not have cast at least some negative aspersions on Werth. Davey chose the answer that let Werth make his own choice as to how much of the blame he would accept. To his credit, Werth owned up to his mistake. But to Davey's credit, he had Werth's back and did not throw him under the bus. It's episodes like this that show what a great manager Davey is. Wins or losses don't do that.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:24 AM
Apparently, due to an airline snafu, his folks were not at the game for his debut. I hope they are here tomorrow for his first HR and 5-4-3 doubleplay.I found that story exceedingly strange Natslady. I think the airline folks are human. If someone told them they wanted to see their son's one-and-only major league debut they would move heaven-and-earth to get them seats even if it meant bumping them up to first class.If things have gotten so bad that such an accommodation could not be made by one of our airlines then our country is in a declining state indeed and Newtown and the the tragedy in Boston may be just harbingers of what is to come.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:26 AM
Since he broke his pinkie his BA has dropped 62 points and no HRs since April 9th.Morse has never been good at playing with injuries … but then, neither has Espinosa. Just means someone gets Morse cheap when he becomes a free agent. Great bargain when that happens.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:29 AM
Big font for Desi==> I like it! 7 errors already and the season is young. yep the finger should be pointed there … he only had 15 last season.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:41 AM
Rich P. I have Gonat's back. What he said was a good read on Davey. He left it up to interpretation. Read the many commentors who thought Davey was pissed. Again, interpretation since he could've been pissed just about losing to a subpar pitcher.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 12:56 AM
peric, … and he made some misplays in the field during spring trainingAnd Harper has already made 3 or 4 this season at least and there was one just today Natslady? Rendon is going to be far superior to Harper in that category for sure and its ridiculous to even suggest that Harper due to his less than a season experience in a major league outfield (and just recently converted to that position) is going to be better than Rendon who played third throughout college and into the minors including the AFL? C'mon Natslady you are beginning to sound like you want Rick Ankiel back again!
- NatsLady - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:05 AM
Humph. Rick Ankiel striking out 2/3 of the time. OTOH, 2/3 of his hits have been home runs.
- baseballswami - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:43 AM
So what this comes down to is this– no one has any idea at all why the very talented Nats are playing so ineptly. Total and complete mystery. Lots of theories, though. It's like a curse or hex or something. Or a bad dream. Nightmare, really. Maybe we need a break the curse night where everyone brings their favorite good luck charm or curse breaking amulet. Something- anything. It's just so strange- I never in a million years saw all this sloppy crap coming. Worried about other stuff , but never defense. It's a cruel game.
- Rich P. - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:43 AM
Gonad of Steve M., the commenter I'll pay attention to is the former player and former manager who has known Davey for 40 years. Guy named Ray Knight. He spent a lot of time in the postgame show talking about that 3-0 swing and Davey's comment, and his conclusion was that Davey would never say anything that would make a player look bad. Which is why Davey's answer to the question was basically "no comment."
- Rich P. - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:48 AM
Here's someone who knows why the very talented Nats are playing so ineptly.@ThomasBoswellWP Nats must make 3-4-5 brutal mental mistakes or errors on easy plays in most of their games. 5 today. Pressing in April. Expectations rob joy@ThomasBoswellWP Well, there's perfect example. Werth swings at a 3-0 pitcher's pitch low-away with two on, none out, behind 2-0 in 8th. Ground into easy DP.It's just what I said yesterday. They need to take John Riggins' advice. Loosen up Sandy baby. You're too tight.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:50 AM
Troll alert. Glad Rich told us what he knows is opinions through channeling his inner Ray Knight. Brilliant. I also don't know why you chose to cutdown Gonat who is a knowledgeable poster and didn't even make the comment you commented on at 7:33.
- Gonat - Apr 22, 2013 at 1:58 AM
Steve, thanks for coming to my defense although I was trying to ignore him. I don't know why he decided to attack me. He should take his own advice and Loosen up and don't act like Feelwood. It's fairly obvious. He just can't stay away and heavens forbid if you do actually disagree with him he starts calling people names "Gonad". Clever!
- baseballswami - Apr 22, 2013 at 2:05 AM
I think there might be something to the theory of the guys needing to loosen up. They are kind of playing all wound up. Morse gone, DeRo gone, even Ankiel, Michael Gonzalez. Gio not smiling. Ramos and Zim out- while not jokesters, at least calm guys. I heard on the radio that when Mike Redmond was a catcher for the Twins he used to take naked batting practice during slumps to break the tension. Pretty serious guys on this team -can't see any of them as comic relief. The fumbling appears to be contagious, though. Hope they ease up.
- Gonat - Apr 22, 2013 at 2:10 AM
baseballswami, I heard the same segment on 106.7 and a guy named Bruce had called in saying Morse was needed as the funny guy in the clubhouse. Then the radio host told that stories about Mike Redmond. Funny stuff.
- Steve J, Alexandria - Apr 22, 2013 at 2:15 AM
I have to laugh at all the posters calling for Davey's job, demanding espi sit down, hating this team's approach and really hating Davey's inept managing.I said of this before. The difference was that I said it first – I stated early what all of you cowardly ninnies were seeing but afraid to admit: this team has So many weaknesses. I excoriated the Span for MOrse trade off — now all agree. All agree!! But I was called more names, attacked by more people, asked to leave by each and every one of you.I laugh at all of you.Now, as I predicted, this team will turn on each other. Davey's magic is gone — now he has to manage, and he cant. He will be fired early — Rizzo is a lucky jerk — when was the last time you heard of the Smart Scout — and oxymoron if I ever heard one. Rizzo has fatally weakened this team. I said this two weeks ago, and was crucified for it. Now we all know its true. Davey, Espi, haren, Rizzo, Zimmo all have to go.We should have kept the lefties we let go — traded Zimmerman, started with Rendon at third, harper should be in center, Moore in left, Werth right, we should have let Laroche go and Morse should be playing 1b, Now that would have been a Damn Good TeamTeam that should have beenc: Suzuki1b: Morse2b: Lomboss: Desi3b: RendonLf: MooreCf: Harperrf: WerthBullpen: retained Gorzo, Gonzo, and BurnettNow that would have been The Team
- Steve J, Alexandria - Apr 22, 2013 at 2:21 AM
As the Sun comes up tomorrow, Haren will get blasted tomorrow.Rizzo paid him 13 mil but didn't do enough due diligence to prove what we all knew last year: that Haren was totally washed up!You think you all are depressed now, wait until after tomorrow's game.Expect Lombo, Det and Zimmermann to get out of here as soon as they can. Lombo and DEt get dissed by a stupid obtuse Davey, and Zimmermann just doesn't fit in with this team and looks miserable.Even Gio isn't laughing anymore. Last year was magic; this year is pure duck crap. Good bye Davey — you'll never manage again, that's for certain
- Scott Margenau - Apr 22, 2013 at 2:58 AM
Peric et all. Lombo hasn't even played a full season….sample size is too small….he is only getting better, and more power. If he's not as good as espi it's close defensively. Now, think about this. Peric is right about how this line up, as is doesn't produce runs…lacks power. We can't have espi in there other than right vs left, he's a huge hole. We need Moore to make the line up potent and protected…same with Desi. With Zim gone we need bats….this team just needs to buckle down and stop playing like boneheads. What we need is a locker room/ dug out presence that will get these guys going. Didn't Davey give some speech last year that started a turn????
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 3:04 AM
So what this comes down to is this– no one has any idea at all why the very talented Nats are playing so ineptly. I think its called "chemistry" Swami? And in Davey's defense against the Ori-hole troll Steve J … he has already stated that the fact things aren't mixed together right is on him. He hasn't gotten things adjusted yet. Of course he was mostly referring to the bullpen but I suspect he meant the lineup as well. I know its reaching but that's my gut feeling.Yes, the talent is there but they aren't playing like a "cohesive unit", in other words a team. They aren't picking the other guy up when he flubs in the field. They aren't picking up pitchers who have bad games. Not getting runs for pitchers having good games. There seems to be a lot of complacency out the gate because I guess they believe their jobs are secure? Not a good thing to believe when Rizzo and Johnson are managing you … but … Well at least that is what I think at this point.Am I worried? No. I like the Rendon move because it sends a message that says management happy with the current outcome. Even if it does seem like the easy choice given Rendon was already on the 40-man and is the best fielder at the position of the bunch. Everyone knows how much Rizzo likes to avoid making moves on his 40-man which currently sits at 38? I think Davey and Rizzo will hash it all out in private behind closed doors with the rest of the brain trust and coaches. I am now beginning to wonder if they don't miss Houston's manager Bo Porter? Perhaps he was more of a key to their winning season than we realized?
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 3:13 AM
Peric et all. Lombo hasn't even played a full season….sample size is too small….he is only getting better, and more power. If he's not as good as espi it's close defensively. I agree with most of what you said except well the fielding again. If you put Lombo against most of the rest of the second baseman in the major leagues he would more than hold his own. Because of his weak arm its really the best/safest spot for him as a starter. He's really not an outfielder and would be challenged to play anywhere else on the infield except first base.Danny Espinosa when compared to most major league shortstops might just stand out defensively. He's very fast and sure handed. He has a rifle arm. He is a superb athlete capable of adapting to play ANY position on the field except catcher. AND that is precisely what you want in a major league shortstop. Which he is. When you put such a shortstop at second base its like instant gold glove with tremendous range and agility.Offensively, they are different players Lombo and Espy. Lombo needed to be more like Span and perhaps there would be no Span. Lombo the switch hitter leading off with a .400 OBP is exactly what the doctor ordered. Now, where they would put him on the field? Probably left field I would hazard. With Harper continuing to hold down center field.Back to the bats. They could surely use Tyler Moore in the line up. The only reason I can come up with for that not happening is that Moore isn't ready fielding wise. Which is why I believe Lombo could have owned left-field if he had learned to WALK goddamnit! Now, the Nats are grooming Moore to be an outfielder. They should send him to Syracuse to work on that and bring someone up like Marerro to be the bench bat. Marerro can play only one position: first base. He makes the perfect backup and understudy to LaRoche as well as a pinch hitter. He's spent plenty of time in the minors honing both his offense and as much as he can his defense. Bottom line: Moore is the future starter and he needs to play every day. Marerro is a future bench / DH guy. He doesn't.

I agree with those who say they need to lighten up and laugh. I remember watching everyone last year. They were smiles all around. They goofed off and had fun.They need to play the game to have fun. They also need someone to become the team clown.
- Scott Margenau - Apr 22, 2013 at 3:22 AM
Peric. Intangibles. Lombo makes things happen. Danny is bad karma. Ryan leaf of baseball. Wait that's too harsh, but u get my drift.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 3:22 AM
And Morse got hurt … yet again … and he is one year and done for Seattle. Because of his fractured pinky his batting average has dropped 61 points. Morse has NEVER hit well when injured Steven J. What do you do about that? Same with Zimmerman when he's healthy he's an impact hitter. When he's not he isn't. And right now he's not health.As for Davey he's gone after this year. I guess they were planning on replacing him with Bo Porter but Bo got offered a major league managing job earlier than they would've liked. I don't think they hire anyone from the inside to manage. Maybe Bo will get fired when he loses 100+. Somehow I doubt it.
- peric - Apr 22, 2013 at 3:26 AM
Peric. Intangibles. Lombo makes things happen. Danny is bad karma. Ryan leaf of baseball.Different personality types … Danny is very intense. Sure, he does have a bit of a cloud hanging over him and can be very stubborn. But he is still young and still has the most ceiling of just about any major league shortstop and most if not all second baggers. Lombo really doesn't to put it harshly. He's an adequate starting second baseman who, yes, can be a fireplug. He has a lot of intangibles that make up for his lack of raw talent. Danny has as much raw talent as Harper and Rendon and then some. But like Zim (and Michael Morse) he isn't completely healthy with that rotator cuff plus now the wrist.So, yes in essence.

They don't necessarily need to laugh. But they do need to lighten up. They're wound too tight. Thinking they need to live up to expectations with every pitch, every play. Until they relax and just play the game as it comes to them, they won't win. Even if they do relax, there's no guarantee they'll win. But if they don't relax, it's a guarantee that they won't win. That's why you see Davey deflecting any suggestions of panic from the media. He's not panicking, and eventually the team will see that and they'll quit panicking too.

He's not panicking, and eventually the team will see that and they'll quit panicking too.They're not panicking or pressing yet but they are struggling. They are wasting good pitching performances with the poor fielding. They are definitely turning somewhat shaky pitching into implosions with the fielding.Hitting can come and go … but the fielding is supposed to be rock solid. Again makes me wonder if losing Bo Porter hurt more than many realize.

Perception is reality? Um, not imho. If the reference is to the politics-related quote, that was about controlling the narrative and getting voters to believe what you want them to believe. We each make our own inferences about a given event. If perception is reality, there would be many different realities about the same event. But maybe that was Gonat's point. Anyhoo, back to baseball.

"If perception is reality, there would be many different realities about the same event."OK, but the future, at least, is set in stone, right? Predictions are reality, at least.

An exclusive first look at artist Nadim Abass' daring Absolut Art Bar Installation Apocalypse Postponed – a bunker set in the skyline of Hong Kong…
Absolut Art Comes to Stockholm
Inside the Studio
How about visiting an exhibition without knowing anything about the artists? No names. No information. No expectations. No anything. Just art.
Watch our favorite moments from six amazing days in 90 seconds.
Having hit the ground running, by the time the Absolut Little Sun bar opened its doors at around 2:30pm, there was a line of people looking to grab one of the signature cocktails, and escape the desert sun for the sanctuary of Little Sun.
With a burning sun hovering of the desert, the Absolut Little Sun Art Bar is the perfect refuge to relax for a moment, have a refreshing drink, and interact with this amazing project next to Coachella's mains stage.
Little Sun is a charming, joyous, high-quality solar-powered LED lamp developed by the world-renowned Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen.
Together with Absolut, Caravan, a United Arab Emirate based artist collective, presented an Absolut Art Bar Installation at the 2014 Art Dubai.
Artist Nadim Abbas is collaborating with Absolut creating an Art Bar Installation AT Art Basel Hong Kong.
How County of Milan's Marcelo Burlon keeps ahead of the curve.
Absolut was the first spirit brand to forge close ties with art and artists, and we continue this legacy by constantly working with ground-breaking artists.
John Waters, American indie director of Pink Flamingos fame requires no introduction, but news of his current art exhibition at Berlin's Sprueth Magers had some fans speculating.
Since 1980, the British based i-D magazine has put the spotlight on both up-and-coming designers and photographers.
Absolut Elyx is in love with a new girl and wants the world to know it.
Fashion week is almost as much about the after-parties as the shows themselves.
Swedish director Johan Renck has two requirements before taking on a new commission. He has to have a good gut feeling about it. And it has to be fun.
All expectations high and a massive fashion packed international crowd gathered at the Berns Hotel to experience the autumn/winter 2014 collection by House of Dagmar.
Condé Nast Traveler recognizes Swedish bar Kåken as a "2014 Gold Standard Bar".
It's the season of fashion weeks (when is it not?) and Absolut Edit headed to New York for mens autumn/winter 2014 market and caught up with Schnayderman´s at MAN New York
Icona Pop hasn't even finished their performance when Will Ferrell rises from his chair and starts some slow, statesman-like applause.
A grand tour of the most current November / December Art exhibitions in New York presented by Jordan Nassar.
Making it as an artist is just about as hard as becoming a rock star, except with way fewer fans screaming in adoration.
Visitors to Palais de Tokyo will have the opportunity to observe Riedel's transformation of sounds into text first hand; the noise creat- ed by visitors to the museum will be converted and projected as text into the Absolut art bar installation.

The Absolut logo was made the color blue to represent the purity of the water from which the vodka is made.
Every artist needs a studio, a place filled with the objects that light fires in their creativity. Atelier is the studio of Absolut.
"I saw a vision of us move in the dark. Everything we did and dreamed regarded each other... "
"It's all an illusion, a very beautiful illusion, a miracle that is taking place before our very eyes."
Emu and his friend argued, and the latter threw an egg of Emu's "...up into the sky, when it broke and became the sun, and the world was flooded with light, and a thousand birds became men."
"See where you take you."
"DISCUS, starred with premonitions, throw yourself out of yourself."

Rated 3 out of 5�by Autumnlee3 This product is not how it appears online. I received my jeans, however, they are not streaked at all like the online picture. I paid to have my order 2nd day soni was more than disappointed when the jeans were not anything like the picture. October 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by dwilli Not as pictured! "If everyone see's what I see when I look at these online; the streaks are very bright and bold. However, when I went into the store I passed by these jeans because I didnt even recognize them. The streaks where anything but bright. More like dull yellow. In addition, the streaks where more pin striped..not wide and prominent as pictured here. I dont get it! I would advise anyone buying online to go to a store and look at these first. Other than the color, the fit is excellant and true to size." August 16, 2012

This is really big!
OpenGL 3.3 is so close now!
Phoronix: Mesa Support For OpenGL Geometry Shaders
An exciting message hit the Mesa mailing list on Friday morning concerning support for OpenGL geometry shaders...
This is really big!
OpenGL 3.3 is so close now!
So way back in the day on windows 98 you could get some sort of software/emulated GPU to play say halflife on a machine that only had a silly ati rage card in it. It might have been something to do with glade, but i can't remember.
Anyway, keeping the same thing in mind, would it be possible to say have a geforce4, using it's normal blob driver, 2d / 3d capabilitie used to the max, but have something like mesa providing the parts (opengl 3 etc that the card does not support.
There by you don't loose any performance of your card, and you gain features, or can run games that wouldn't otherwise run.
Or is that farrr to complicated?
Let me know what u think. Even if it's "don't be stupid"
And it won't work for geometry shaders because they are between vertex and fragment shaders in the rendering pipeline.
as far as i know a similar effect has been achieved on old intel chips, which by nature only supported up to OpenGL 1.4 but under the gallium driver manage 2.1 (i think)
now that it seems possible to distribute graphics processing across the whole system via dma-buf (or what the name was) i guess that missing GPU functionality could be provided by the CPU. but i guess performance would hardly exceed that of LLVMsoftpipe
but if it were possible (usefull) to give the GPU, due to missing hardware acceleration, some work via OpenCL back to make use the parallelisation in the GPU... i dunno
i am developing a game using glut and glsl.it gives me a number of errors if i use shaders(glxinfo gives opengl 3.0 and glsl 1.30 and the porgram should work).works perfectly without shaders or when using ati catalyst drivers.
games like overgrowth also crash giving glsl errors
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and report the problems you are having in detail if you know of a bug in Mesa that needs fixing.
Actually it's kind of working on nvc0 as well. Maybe a few glitches left though ...

Nutone Bathroom Fans
Steamy mirrors, moist walls and clouded windows are signs your bathroom may be growing mold, mildew, ruined insulation or wood rot. However, with a Nutone Bathroom Fan, you can remove leftover moisture to help keep your home dry and comfortable, while avoiding mold and mildew buildup. Don't let humidity problems affect the health and air-quality of your home.

In the same year, they were also awarded with the Remodeler's Choice 100 products and the Platinum ADEX award, sponsored by Qualified Remodeler. Also, NuTone is certified by the Home Ventilation Institute (HVI), an independent organization that certifies the airflow and sound performance claims to ensure the product will perform as claimed.

How to Select
How to Select a Bathroom Fan
Selecting the proper bathroom fan for your application is important to maximize the lifespan of the fan and parts.Bathroom Fan Manufacturers:
Deciding which manufacturer to purchase from is important. Often times, bathroom manufacturers use different quality parts based on the given price point. Economy grade fans may use less durable parts and may have a slightly shorter lifespan. Whereas, higher end models typically are quieter, last longer, and have more power.CFM Rating:
The CFM rating refers to cubic feet per minute. This is the volume of air that is moved by the fan during a 60 second period. The CFM rating is important in case you are installing the fan in an area requiring proper ventilation such as a bathroom or kitchen to avoid moisture build and bathroom mold.
Bathroom fans that have a higher CFM rating will be able to remove steam and moisture much faster than less powerful fans. For small areas such as single bathrooms, a 50-100 CFM fan will suffice, however, for kitchen applications or large bathrooms, or steam rooms, higher power models are recommended.Fan Types:
At Westside Wholesale, we sell many types of bathroom fans based on your preference and need. Combination bathroom fans include features such as night light, heaters, and humidity sensors depending on your needs.Fan Loudness:
Bathroom fans come in several ratings of noise level from Standard to Super Quiet. The output noise level is rated in Sones, to give a accurate measure of what to expect from your fan. Super Quiet bath fans can reach a Sone level as little as <0.3 Sones. At this level, the fan is virtually silent and produces less than 1/3rd the noise of a running refrigerator. The Sone level has a direct impact on the price point of the fan, meaning that less expensive fans typically generate more noise.Installation Application
If your application is a retrofit, than it is important to make sure the dimensions of the fan you select match the dimensions of the fan to be replaced to reduce rough in time and effort. It is also important to know if the fan is hardwired or if it has a standard outlet plug.Duct Size:
Most bath fans use a 4" duct to output the air from the fan. If you are replacing a bathroom fan, you will want to check the exiting duct size that is being used by your ventilation system to reduce further modifications. If your exiting duct size is limiting the amount of air flow through your system, you may consider using a larger diameter duct to reduce air pressure in your system.

In love with KDE, here!
In love with KDE, here!
KDE is still far to bloated, sluggish and unstable to be considered a usable desktop environment. This latest update does nothing to address these flaws. The only sane desktops for power users and those who want to get work done are Xfce, LXDE and Cinnamon. The rest are junk.
KDE has improved remarkably since I've started using it. Great leaps in advancements in software features, greatly improved stability, and performance. As far as performance goes, I think the main areas of concern left are Kwin compositing and RAM usage. I can't wait to see those issues finally resolved. KDE's easily has the most potential among the DE's. If it's few rough edges go away, then maybe we can start geting people to come back to KDE from Gnome.
I actually run Gnome-shell simply because it gets out of my way more than any of the other DEs. Although sometimes a little too far out of my way (like missing chat notifications), but there are fixes for that.
Unfortunately now Gnome-shell has programmed my brain to utilize the super key to launch the dashboard, so when I try to use KDE or any other Linux DE, it slows me down..
Anyone know if there still isn't a way to make KDE use that key as a way to open up the launcher?
Btw, I can't speak for anyone else, but the Quick Access plasma widget is so amazing. I'm so spoiled on it that any time I use any other desktop envirnment, I get really impatient and flustered because I have to go through all of these extra steps to access documents and what not.
Since we have the KDE fan/expert crowd on here:
Does kwin finally have a decent desktop zoom? Exactly like compiz's Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin? Pre-defined zoom levels accesible via shortcuts, animated and smooth zoom-in and out to any level, and configurable mouse tracking?
Last time I checked (4.8, I guess) all I could find was some 'effect' (?? wtf? it's not a toy or an 'effect', it's an accessibility feature!!) that did zoom but it was the same horrble un-ergonomic half-baked clumsy crap that was in 4.0, nowhere near the compiz plugin.

• Sterling silver and cobalt-colored drusy quartz, marquise-shaped ring
• Braided, polished and rope-textured design continues down shank
• Measures 1-1/8" long x 7/8" wide
• Designed and crafted in America with gemstones from around the world
As dazzling as the clear midnight sky in the high desert, this gemstone ring shimmers with ethereal beauty. At its gleaming heart is a large marquise-shaped cabochon of deep blue drusy. Partnering with the gemstone for this dynamic dance is highly polished sterling silver in a bead and braid design. This ring is a tribute to Southwestern glamour day or night.

On clear nights, the night sky shimmers with the brilliance of starlight. Evoking the romance of a moonlight night, cobalt blue and platinum drusy sparkle with elegance, while lapis is a polished accent for the fashionable, shimmering stones.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

He's jealous, because his scheduler was thrown out from the Linux kernel. I never liked the guy, because he always sounds childish and dumb. Get lost.So, he feels embarrassed over the Linux code, after studying Solaris? Hmmm....
Here is Con Kolivas, who wrote some popular Linux schedulers.
He reviewed the Solaris scheduler and it seems he like it:
"...The summary of my impression was that I was... surprised. Now I don't claim to be any kind of expert on code per-se. I most certainly have ideas, but I just hack together my ideas however I can dream up that they work, and I have basically zero traditional teaching, so you should really take whatever I say about someone else's code with a grain of salt. Well, anyway, the [Solaris] code, as I saw it, was neat. Real neat. Extremely neat. In fact, I found it painful to read after a while. It was so neatly laid out that I found myself admiring it. It seems to have been built like an aircraft. It has everything that opens and shuts, has code for just about everything I've ever seen considered on a scheduler, and it's all neatly laid out in clean code and even comments. It also appears to have been coded with an awful lot of effort to ensure it's robust and measurable, with checking and tracing elements at every corner. I started to feel a little embarrassed by what we have as our own kernel. The more I looked at the code, the more it felt like it pretty much did everything the Linux kernel has been trying to do for ages. Not only that, but it's built like an aircraft, whereas ours looks like a garage job with duct tape by comparison.
As an aside, I did google a few terms they used which I hadn't seen before, and I was more than a little disappointed to find patents regarding the names... Sigh.
Now this would be a great time to take my comments out of context without reading on. The problem is that here was a scheduler that did exactly what I hate about what the Linux kernel scheduler is becoming. It's a monstrosity of epic proportions, and as far as an aircraft goes, it's like taking an Airbus A380 on a short joyride if you're running it on a desktop. It looks like a good, nay, great design for a massive airliner. By looking at it alone, I haven't got the foggiest what it might run like on a desktop. Now since I'm full of opinion and rhetoric and don't ever come through with any substance (maybe writing my own scheduler invalidates that?), I'm going to also say I can't even be bothered trying it, for you to confirm your suspicions about me.
...the Linux kernel (scheduler) suddenly looks like the Millennium Falcon. Real fast, but held together with duct tape, and ready to explode at any minute...."
So, he feels embarrassed over the Linux code, after studying Solaris? Hmmm....

Isn't it funny how the antiBSD troll and Pawlerson come in a double pack in any thread about Solaris or BSD related topics, just like how the antiBSD troll answered his own pathetic accusations before with his alternate accounts?
May it be that Pawlerson is the antiBSD troll?
It also seems that he is Pawlerson. So, Kraftman == OpenSLOWlaris == Pawlerson. If you have three accounts, is it ok according to forum rules? Some forums does not allow multiple accounts.
This sounds exactly like Kraftman. The very same. Why did you Kraftman, get new accounts? Why not use the same old account? Is it because Kraftman lost all credibility when you confessed that you FUD?Linux is still very maintainable and configurable. And also, it's used by IT administrators, professionals, programmers and even astronomers and scientists at NASA.

Rochester police command staff pay dispute still not resolved
Friday, February 15, 2013
ROCHESTER — The command staff at the Police Department have not yet received their merit-based raises, due to a dispute between the City Council and the Police Commission over how much to budget toward these raises.
So far, no raises to the command staff, in any amount, have been awarded this year.
Jean said that during the previous budget talks, the Police Commission awarded $18,000 toward raises after the city's budget process has already been complete.
The Police Commission's awarding of raises averaging 3.25 percent, said Allen, was done in accordance to the City Charter and the city's merit plan. Allen also said the council's appropriation for the police command staff raises was not based on performance evaluations.

Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls/Jijuan Recipe (鸡卷)
Having a food blog is great, really.
Other than the dedication to constantly whipping up good food (and try not to repeat the same dish in order to generate new content!), I also learn to experiment with different cuisines and recipes that I wouldn't have attempted otherwise. (I mean, why would I want to cook a dish when there is no real purpose of preparing it at home and that it's easily available in the restaurants?!)
Rasa Malaysia adds colors to my life; there is the food styling, presentation, photography which I am more and more addicted to as days go by, and of course, there are just endless recipes that I can play and experiment with. Plus, my food blog makes me think harder about food, for example: how do I make use of those leftover ingredients that I have accumulated in the refrigerator, like since last December? I have become a lot more creative and innovative in the kitchen, that's for sure. Eating better on a daily basis is just an extra perk…
Last week, I used bean curd skin to make some mouthwatering Vietnamese Tau Hu Ky. Soon after that, I tossed some of them into my Bak Kut Teh, but still, I had a few pieces left. Inspired by >For the Love of Food/a>, I went ahead and made these pleasing Taiwanese minced chicken and pork rolls, or "Ji Juan" (鸡卷).
Taiwanese Ji Juan is not exactly Lor Bak (Malaysian five-spice pork rolls), but the principle is basically the same–protein (meat) wrapped with bean curd skin and deep-fried to perfection. Since I could never get enough of Ji Juan whenever I eat out at Taiwanese restaurants, I am just happy that I can churn out these meaty and savory bites in my own kitchen now. But there is one drawback–I will need to upgrade my cheapo $20 deep fryer pronto so cooking oil doesn't splatter all over my counter top, the wood flooring, and my FACE!
Now that's a good problem to solve.

Lor Bak brings back sweet memories of home, can't wait to balik kampung!
When my mom makes these, I'm a happy camper. Such beautiful photos.
I can sleep happy now, with the image of your lobak, I'll be dreaming of it later! ha ha …
Looks absolutely beautiful. I love love love Penang lorbak.
Thanks, RM for linking me to your post. This Bean curd skin roll looks amazing! We can't have too many variations for food we love, can we?
Beautiful! I've eaten bean curd skin rolls but never tried to make them. Thanks for the recipe.
now that you have mentioned it your pixs are really of superior quality and higher than many.
So can we now have your close-ups
( not laughing out loud but WVP )
love your photographs, they are lovely and gorgeous.
we will be featuring sunny yaw's collection in aug/sept. sunny yaw is now only 36yo, a patissier with 15years of experience. He had been working with various bakeries in KL. He has a great talent which yet been discovered. bigboysoven is where the platform given to feature young talents in malaysia.
Aiya…I've used up my beancurd skins liow! (last seen of these skins are in my vegetarian rolls)…if not, could hv tried these too ;)
Your 鸡卷 are so neatly wrapped. And seems that this time it's fried to golden perfection. :D
Very nice. :D Yup having a blog is just that great. I haven't been cooking lately though. :( I think I had the flu! :D hehe I couldn't help but smile about your comments about your old deep fryer. You must get a new fryer to save your little face. :D
They look really delicious! I would like ot have one… I think I will have to try this recipe.
and dare i say you take some of the most beautiful food blog dslr pictures out there. truly inspiring!
What a lovely fulfilling recipe. Beautifully done and plated.
One question (for now). Is d oil used for frying re-used for subsequent frying? If yes, do u just keep it in d deep fryer? Oops, 2 questions d.
sounds easy and funny i've never done any rolls. will do that with my meat patties. thanks.
Pretty lady + charming smile + delicious recipes + beautiful pics + original blog = my overwhelming urge to intervene! When I fry, I always worry about oil spattering my eyes. May I suggest you (and anyone else reading this) invest in a pair of plain eyeglasses? I have a pair I got for 6 Euros (non-prescription, obviously) and they are just the thing to protect our peepers.
Your post has given me a kick in the seat of my pants to finally make some lor bak! I received the limited edition cookbook of Penang hawker foods a number of months ago and the lor bak recipe has been calling to me ever since!
That dish looks really good! I'm going to bookmark that great recipe for future use…
rasa malaysia,
The chicken and pork rolls look extremely delicious! This remind me of my mum's pork rolls which I haven't had for 4 months!:P
hmm … looks yummy. Your rolls are so beautifully done.
Maya – balik kampung feels soo good as you can indulge in all the foods you miss. :)
Elmo – thanks. :)
WMW – did you dream about lor bak? ;)
Nate 2.0 – yeah, lor bak is good, but this Taiwanese jijuan is also great. Must try.
For the love of food – you're welcome. Variations are good. :)
Lydia – good luck trying out my recipe.
BSG – What are you talking about?
Big Boys – that's great that your website will feature new talents in Malaysia. Good luck.
Tiga – go buy another pack of bean curd skins. Hehe.
Budding Cook – no kidding, I need a shield for my face!
Orchidea – yes, do try it out. It's really great.
Aria – you are too kind…I am really not all that…the software does all the work for me. LOL.
Bea – thank you thank you. To hear it from a master like you is a true honor. I am really not worth it. ;)
Tummy – I really recycle my oil, but it depends on what I fry. If fish, then no, I toss them away because of the fishy smell, for other fried stuff, I think it's OK to recycle if you add more oil to it. I just keep them in the deep fryer…I think it's OK right? I am the wrong person to ask here I do not read manuals. Hehe.
Babe – you should try I am sure your boi boi will love them.
Annapurna – you are too kind…again, I am really not worth it. Thanks to my upbringing and the rich and colorful Malaysian cuisines…these are the kinds of food we eat. We are too lucky! LOL…about the eyeglasses, that's a great idea. I started using my pot covers as my shield…haha. Very funny.
Su-Lin – yeah, I heard the lor bak in your books calling out your name: make me make me, Su-Lin.
Rosa – Thanks…and good luck trying.
Kok- time to go home. Are you a student in the KL area?
Cooking Ninja – thank you. :)
Wow! I used to eat this dish only during the Chinese festivals when my Mum prepared it. Now that I am living away, I have almost forgotten how good it used to taste. This post really gives me a sense of nostalgia! :) How I wish…
Rasa Malaysia,
I'm a student currently in Perth. My hometown? Miri, Sarawak. :)
It looks like you used that sweet Thai chilli sauce. Yummy.
I really love your blog – the photos are beautiful and you are so confident of your cooking (justifiably so!). It's clear that you have a great passion for the work you do on this blog!
Btw, I tried out your tofu + minced pork recipe. I modified it slightly as I was too lazy to buy dried shrimp, and both times I made it I got great reviews. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Hope to try out more of your absolutely gorgeous looking recipes.
SPOREan in Manhattan
funny isn't it …. I'm eating better since I started a blog… but spending a FORTUNE on food… my budget is collapsing.
totally agree with you. a foodblog almost forces you to try new things and eat better. sure does add a lot of colour to what i eat as well.
these rolls look amazing. the pastry is so delicate. mmmm.
I would love to make the rolls looks yummy. But what would I substitute the bean curd skin with? I cant find them where I live nor can I find any wonton or spring rool wrappers.
Those minced chicken and pork rolls look delicious. I will use your minced chicken and pork rolls recipe the next time i make this.
Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicioussssssssssssssssssssssssss! :P
These pork and chicken rolls look delicious!
Good day I am so happy I found your blog page, I really found you by accident, while I was searching on Aol
for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a fantastic post and a all round interesting blog (I
also love the theme/design), I don't have time to go through it all
at the minute but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS
feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more,
Please do keep up the great work.
Hi! How can we make this ahead or freeze till use? Looking to see if it's better to make and fry it then freeze or make then freeze and fry when ready.

Happy Birthday, Donovan!!!
Saturday, May 11, 2013
Happy Birthday to singer-songwriter Donovan, who turned 67 yestyerday (May 10th)!!! Donovan, whose last name is Leitch, is best known for his string of '60s hits including "Mellow Yellow," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," "Jennifer Juniper," "Atlantis," "Catch The Wind," "Colours," "Riki Tiki Tavi," "Wear Your Love Like Heaven," and the 1966 Number One hit "Sunshine Superman." In 2012, former touring partner John Mellencamp inducted Donovan into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Earlier this week, Donovan announced that he'll release his latest studio set, called Shadows Of Blue, which was recorded in Nashville, on May 31st.
In 2009 Donovan made headlines when he joined old friends Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr at New York City's Change Begins Within concert benefiting the David Lynch Foundation and Transcendental Meditation education.
In 2008 he released the three-hour documentary spanning his life and career. The DVD called Sunshine Superman: The Journey Of Donovan -- which was seven years in the making -- features an additional two hours of bonus featurettes, including vintage concert and TV performances, a poetry recording session with his father, insights on his work in Transcendental Meditation, and even a short bio on his guitar maker.
With the release of the DVD, Donovan says that he's happy to finally document his early career as wandering beat songwriter in Britain: "When I came out of bohemia, it was actually bohemian ideas that invaded popular culture -- and good thing too. And on the wings of folk music, because in the folk clubs, the beat clubs, the art schools, that's where all the books were. And the girls with the books wore long dark hair, black mascara, pure white skin, pretty much (laughs) kinda goth, yeah! And they were the thinking girls y'know?"
Donovan also recently published The Autobiography Of Donovan: Hurdy Gurdy Man, which shed new light on his early life and his friendships with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and the Rolling Stones. The book also revealed Donovan's part in collaborating on several Beatles songs, including "Yellow Submarine" and "Rocky Raccoon."
Donovan also released the career-spanning box set Try For The Sun: The Journey Of Donovan, and appeared on stage with Beach Boys' Mike Love at a recent lecture on Transcendental Meditation.
Donovan is currently compiling two multi-disc box sets of outtakes from both his '60s and '70s albums for release sometime in the near future.
He's planning a massive world tour for the near future, and although it's not being billed as a "farewell" tour, it will mark the final time he hits many territories.
Donovan will next perform on May 15th in Madrid, Spain.
