Farmington restaurant with town themes opens
Thursday, February 28, 2013
FARMINGTON — Joel Chagnon, a lifelong and widely known Farmington resident, has just opened a restaurant called Mr. Chag's Den on Main Street, in the building that previously housed Hunters' Tavern.
"Everything is vintage Farmington," added Chagon, who officially opened the doors on Feb. 20 to over 100 diners, spread between breakfast and lunch.
For example, there is a sandwich called The Buddy which pays, according to the menu, tribute to the late Buddy Stiles "whose dream was to have folks gather and enjoy themselves in this very building!" A host of names, familiar to longtime Farmington residents, grace the menu, including The Doc Quinn, The Roger-B, The Betty Mros and The Jim & Beulah Burger. Each item has a short descriptive introduction — the last mentioned burger, for instance notes, "Just like the Thayers, this burger is the most generous of all!"

Our Bodies 101
Themes and Theology
For the sages of the talmudic era, the body was first and foremost the repository of the soul, but they did not view the living human body as a source of moral taint or ritual pollution. The concept of Imago Dei, the creation of humankind in the divine image, while rarely understood to include a physical resemblance, nonetheless imparted to the human form a certain degree of awe and respect. The complexity of the body's systems, too, occasions a sense of wonder at the work of Creation that is reflected even in Jewish liturgy. Surprisingly, perhaps, medieval Jewish mystics' view of divinity is expressed as ten realms arranged diagrammatically in the form of a human body.
Among Jews as among all societies, garments have reflected religious outlook (consider the deliberate archaism of ultra-Orthodox dress), social status (the garb of the ancient High Priest, for example), emotional states (think of the symbolic ripping of a garment worn while mourning), and even the group's relation with the outside world (such as the distinguishing Jewish badges and hats imposed by various medieval European regimes).

Michael Kim's languid golf swing sends yet another tee shot perfectly down the center of the fairway and soon, after his opponent hits, he walks off the tee purposefully and intently at a brisk pace. First. Always out ahead. The message seems obvious: Catch me if you can.
These days, the acceleration of Kim's career path on the course would make the Acela Express, which races out of nearby Washington, D.C., each day, envious. A rising junior at the University of California-Berkeley, his most notable moment came at this summer's U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., where he finished tied for 17th, the fifth-best showing by an amateur in the past 30 years at the national championship.
Kim claimed numerous accolades as a sophomore at UC-Berkeley, including a pair of player of the year honors: the Fred Haskins Award (voted on by players, coaches and members of the national media) and the Jack Nicklaus Award (from the Golf Coaches Association of America).
But the experience at the U.S. Open is undeniably at the forefront of his memory bank, and not just because it's barely a month old. After all, he was on the first page of the leader board after birdieing four of six holes during the third round.
"I was two shots back of Charl Schwartzel after I made birdie at [No.] 15," Kim recalled. "I was watching the leader board not to know where I was in the [championship], but it was cool to see my name next to [Luke] Donald, [Phil] Mickelson and Justin Rose. That was awesome.
"Nothing can beat the week that I had there."
Kim, of Del Mar, Calif., admits that his showing at the Open has helped prepare him for all other competitive starts.
"It definitely makes it easier because I know that I'm not going to be under any more pressure than I was there and I'm not going play on a bigger stage than that one," Kim said. "It kind of relaxes me a little bit and it's a lot of pressure off when I come play these events."
Kim has every reason to have high expectations. His rise to prominence on the amateur golf stage has been steady despite modest beginnings. Growing up in Korea, he admittedly "had no idea" what golf was for the first seven years of his life.
At age 8, it was nearly impossible not to take note of Tiger Woods, who won the 2001 Masters to become the first player to hold all four professional majors simultaneously. Soon thereafter, Kim picked up a club for the first time and continues to idolize Woods as the player who helped bring him to the game. Intentional or otherwise, some of Kim's mannerisms on the course are eerily similar.
As Kim continues to develop, Woods' trademark determination is pinned to his mental corkboard.
"He's always striving to get better and better," says Kim, who actually finished ahead of Woods at the U.S. Open. "No human being has ever played as well as he did in the year 2000, but he's still trying to get better and better and I think that's something everybody can learn from."
Honing winning habits is seemingly part of Kim's golf pedigree. Stoked by four victories in collegiate events during his sophomore year at UC-Berkeley, he was honored as the 2012-13 Golfweek/Sagarin Player of the Year and the Pac-12 Conference Golfer of the Year. Kim was also instrumental in helping Team USA register a victory over Team Europe in the Palmer Cup.
All this from a kid who was barely recruited out of Torrey Pines High School, despite helping the program to a state title in 2011. Most college golf programs had completed their recruiting and Kim's lanky frame was a concern for some coaches, given today's emphasis on power hitting.
"Part of it is because of my size and build. I'm skinny now but I was even skinnier back then," Kim says. "I was hitting 235 or 240 and all the other guys were hitting it 280 and 290 yards. That was a big deal."
Kim ultimately signed with Cal-Berkeley and his game and physique continued to take shape during his ascent. At 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds, Kim isn't viewed as a player with eye-popping length. He's hitting it an estimated 280 yards off the tee now, but it matters little to Kim, whose every shot is precisely planned, akin to a surgeon getting ready to operate.
"I make up for a lack of distance in accuracy," he says. "In all honesty, it doesn't matter how far you hit it as long as you get the ball in the hole as fast as possible."
The game's higher-ups have taken note. Earlier this week, the USGA's International Team Selection Committee named him to the USA Walker Cup Team, considered one of the greatest honors an amateur can attain. The 10-player USA Team will take on their Great Britain and Ireland counterparts at the 44th renewal of the match, set for Sept. 7-8 at the National Golf Links of America in Southampton, N.Y.
"It's truly and honor and a blessing. It's been a goal of mine since 2011," says Kim, who turned 20 on July 14. "To get that call is a great feeling. It's been a great week."
For Kim, attaining goals in the game means staying resilient, something he needed in ousting Robby Shelton IV, 17, of Wilmer, Ala., 1 up, in Friday morning's APL quarterfinals. Kim three-putted the par-5 15th hole to fall back to all-square, but he holed a 15-yard bunker shot at the par-3 16th to regain a 1-up lead en route to victory.
After watching friend Jordan Spieth win last week's John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour, it was impossible for Kim's mind not to wander. Spieth and Patrick Cantlay are both in his age range – Spieth is 19 and Cantlay, the low amateur at the 2011 U.S. Open, is 21. Kim beat Spieth (and everyone else for that matter) in claiming medalist honors and helping Cal to the team title at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational last fall.
"It motivates you when guys your same age are playing the [U.S.] Open, playing the [PGA] Tour and playing in the Walker Cup [Match]," Kim says. "Hopefully, one day I can be there and play against the best of the world."
Andrew Blair is director of communications for the Virginia State Golf Association. He is assisting the USGA this week at the APL.

Debt limit is wrong target
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
President Barack Obama has said repeatedly he will not negotiate with Republicans over raising the federal government's borrowing limit in exchange for deep budget cuts.
During an appearance on ABC's "This Week" he declared "(T) he tax issue is finished, over, completed."
What's more, voters understand that in the end refusing to raise the debt limit is only symbolic. When all is said and done, it has to be done. Yet, shutting down the government will have real — not symbolic — consequences.

My four siblings and I were born in Boulder, Colorado, back in a previous century. My older brother, Alan, died the day he was born. Do the math; I never met him. One of my younger brothers, Douglas, died three days after he was born, but I never met him, either. My older sister recalls seeing him and attending the small funeral. One of the ironies of life in the modern world is that both died of complications of an Rh-factor problem. Less than two decades later, this problem was quite manageable and reliably survivable.
My only related memory is of visiting my brothers' graves at a small cemetery near the Boulder airport. I remember cards in plastic, marking the graves until gravestones would be installed.
We left Boulder for southeastern Idaho when I was ten. I was the first to return, and that was more that 30 years later. My parents' recollection was that they never bought gravestones. There has been talk for some years of needing to go back to Boulder and take care of that.
My family and I were vacationing in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas several years ago, and we decided to spend a day in Boulder. I took them on a short tour of landmarks, including the home where I spent my first decade; the nearby park through which I was not supposed to walk on my way home from school, but often did; and my first elementary school, now renamed. I took some photos, then managed to lose the memory card containing them before returning home.
We went to one — or maybe it's a hundred — of Boulder's main attractions, the Pearl Street pedestrian mall. I left the family there and went to find the nearest cemetery to the airport, according to an online map. It was as I remembered it, including the airport's landing pattern. My mission was to get information which would help us finally to place gravestones at my brothers' graves and, if possible, to find the graves themselves.

Latest update : 2010-11-23
The blogosphere is concerned about the spread of cholera in Haiti
In this edition: The blogosphere is concerned about the spread of cholera in Haiti. The web hails the release of an Egyptian blogger after 4 years in prison. And two young video bloggers demonstrate the latest trendy online activity
Tension in Haiti: the country has been hit by a serious outbreak of cholera, and some Haitians have turned against the "blue helmets" , demanding they leave the country. They accuse MINUSTAH of bringing the disease to Haiti and there has been an outbreak of attacks over the past week. These attacks have sometimes turned extremely violent as we see in these amateur images filmed in Cap Haitien and they are hindering the administration of aid to the sick.
The cholera continues to spread, and according to this blog that has been monitoring the sanitary conditions in Haiti ever since the January 12th earthquake, the situation is becoming increasingly alarming. On the blog, there is an account from a doctor who is concerned about the lack of medicine and material available to wipe out the epidemic.
The Pan American Health Organization is also sounding the alarm bells and has notably created this online interactive map so that people can follow developments on the outbreak. They have also posted this data base online that catalogues the different medical centers and the number of people they can treat.
As we see in these online videos from Doctors without Borders, the centers are now completely overloaded. Every day 150 sick people arrive in this treatment center which only has 120 beds.
And in view of the situation, four of the presidential candidates in the election that is due to take place on the 28th of November have asked for the ballot to be postponed. But the electoral campaign continues regardless. Candidate Michel Martelly, a local singer who is highly popular with the younger generation, brought in a huge crowd for a rally on Saturday that was broadcast live on Twitter.
Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer is free. He was sentenced in February 2007 for insulting Islam and President Hosni Mubarak on his blog and this cyber activist spent 1470 days in prison. The blogosphere had mobilised huge support during his captivity and has hailed his release.
As soon as his sentence was passed, a huge solidarity movement in support of the blogger was set up online. A Twitter thread and Facebook groups were created calling for his release. And as we see in these photos and other online videos, numerous rallies were organized on a regular basis all over the world to raise international awareness on the bloggers fate.
A blog devoted to his cause campaigned for his freedom and asked web users to maintain pressure on the Egyptian authorities. The blog is delighted that Kareem is finally free and thanks all those who fought for him over the years.
NGOs and « Reporters without Borders » in particular are delighted about Kareem's release from prison. Reporters without Borders still considers Egypt as an enemy of the Internet and has launched an appeal to the authorities, asking them to stop repression of web users, saying they believe free speech online is a beneficial step forward for society.
According to this Human Rights organization, their appeal is not likely to be granted in the near future. On its website it explains that another Egyptian blogger Ahmed Hassan Bassiouny is accused of disclosing secret documents via the Internet and must face a military tribunal. His crime: creating a Facebook page offering advice and information on army recruitment.
Dutch net artist Constant Dullaart is shaking up our web browsing habits by depicting the web's state of mind. When a web user connects to different addresses, the web starts moving around, the interface moves from left to right to show that the Internet is saying no or the page starts rotating when the Internet is in doubt. Dullaart is trying to change what we are used to seeing when we surf the net.
Following on from throwing cans into a bin or table tennis balls into a glass, here is the new trendy online sport: throwing a baseball cap onto your partners head. These two young men are already experts and have made this demonstration video.

iHerb Customer Reviews
As NuNaturals web site said "One serving is ½ tsp. powder (1 individual packet). It contains 80 mg of NuStevia extract and 920 mg of Maltodextrin." Maltodextrin has a higher GI than a sugar, so there are like more than 90% sugar in this stuff! I think NuNaturals use it because it's cheaper than erythrol in "NuStevia, No Carbs Blend, 50 Packets", but not because it's better for your health. /////////////// Тут 92% процента мальтодекстрина и 8% стевии

Position analysis: Infield
Oct 15, 2012, 11:00 AM EDT
US Presswire photo
Adam LaRoche could leave via free agency, creating a hole at first base.
As we transition into offseason mode, we'll start by breaking down the Nationals' roster by position (infield, outfield, catcher, rotation and bullpen) this week and examine where things stand at season's end and where things might stand moving forward. Today's position: Infield…
1B ADAM LaROCHE
Stats: 154 G, 647 PA, 33 HR, 100 RBI, .271 AVG, .343 OBP, .510 SLG
2012 salary: $9 million
Contract status: $10 million mutual option in 2013, if declined becomes free agent
Where he fits in: Perhaps the Nationals' team MVP, LaRoche's contributions this season were immeasurable. He was the club's most consistent offensive player, setting a career-high in homers and matching his career-high in RBI. He played Gold Glove-caliber defense at first base, saving his teammates from being charged with countless errors. And he was a calming and popular presence in the clubhouse. For all of those reasons, the Nationals want to bring LaRoche back for 2013. The problem? He's likely to decline the one-year, mutual option, wanting a longer-term deal. The Nationals are open to that, and the two sides have begun preliminary talks. They'd ideally like to get something done before LaRoche is allowed to become a free agent (five days after conclusion of the World Series) so these next couple of weeks could be significant.
Stats: 160 G, 658 PA, 17 HR, 56 RBI, .247 AVG, .315 OBP, .402 SLG
13 E, 7.1 UZR at 2B, 3.8 WAR
2012 salary: $506,000Read more »
- Dave - Oct 15, 2012 at 8:53 PM
Swami @3:06, thanks for that encouragement. I also was able to watch some of both games last night. The narrative I've been hearing about last Friday is one about the greatest come-from-behind-ever by the Cardinals–NOT about a massive collapse by the Nationals.I do not hear any kind of sneering or put-downs about the Nats' effort. Admittedly, I tend to change the channel about as fast as a lightning bolt if I hear the name "Strasburg" uttered, but so far I just haven't heard that plot mentioned very much.In the meantime, the vaunted Yankee stadium has been 80% full (i.e., 20% empty) for the entire post-season. That's one of the big stories of the week, in my opinion. The argument that "tickets are expensive there" falls apart when you notice that StubHub has tickets for as cheap as $30 to the Yankees games.Meanwhile, Nationals Park was absolutely rocking all three days last week. Nationals Park was sold to an average of 109% ofcapacity for the week. In the school where I teach, the students were buzzing about what happened in Southeast DC last week.I know which fan base I'd rather be a part of.As I mentioned earlier, I expect the Cardinals to be dominant in these next two weeks. I think they're a very good, experienced team that got hot at a very bad time for the Nats. I don't think the Nats have much to be ashamed about.

I don't assume that LaRoche would be willing to sign a two-year deal. I've said that I would understand if he found a better deal on the open market.I also think you need to be careful about a multi-year deal for a first baseman who will be 33 next month. While there are exceptions, such as Paul Konerko, manyfirst basemen don't age well.If the Nats can get Adam back for two years and a mutual option, I'm all for it. If he wants four years, I'd wish this good man Godspeed.
- Steady Eddie - Oct 15, 2012 at 9:31 PM
Joe @ 4:43 re HRod — exactly. Feel Wood @ 3:30 — definitive post about why we should and will keep Lombo even as a bench guy. Because that's what consistently winning teams look like, and do. Did the Yanks feel they had to trade Elston Howard because they had Berra? (I know, totally different time in terms of team control and no FA, but that was not unique to that period.)

So this is the Washington Nationals version of " always leave them wanting more"???? Have to share this story — 10 year old piano student comes in the door after school today. I am wearing one my my Nats shirts and he asks me if I know my team lost. I assure him that, yes, I was aware of that.( Thank you captain obvious). He asks me if I am sad about that because he is really sad when his team loses. Then he proceeds to tell me that Detroit is probably going to lose because a lot of their players are overweight!!! I laughed out loud – probably first time since Friday. One of my biggest take aways from September/ October is the emergence of the Nationals as an everyday topic of conversation EVERYWHERE and the passion and emotion ( both ways) that they have inspired,even from people who never really followed baseball. This team is totally and completely part of the fabric of the community now. They are our guys, we have been bonded by the daily ups and downs and goods and bads. I hope they all have a good, healthy off season. 7 getting married, the Lannans having a baby. Our lads are all growing up. I think we will see a new maturity next year and a new way that they carry themselves. Can't wait!!!

Re: Bad Henry. He pitched at the beginning of this season much as he ended last season, except he still continued to amass the WPs. Then he reverted to the form shown at the beginning of the previous season, i.e., clueless as to the location of the strike zone — plus the WPs. The reversion to form suggests to me he just lost any focus on what he was supposed to be doing and how he was supposed to go about it. The elbow junk was an ex post facto excuse — after they told him to slam a finger in a door to get put on the DL.I'm glad they surgered his elbow, hope he's fine — just don't want him on the roster no matter how much "upside" somebody thinks he has — Steve Dalkowski had "upside," too.

I can't see after the season he put up ALR signing for less then three years. The question is do we want him for three. I still don't see this roster big enough to carry Morse, ALR and Moore.
- Gonat - Oct 15, 2012 at 10:59 PM
If you want to feel better, just think of the Braves whining about the "infield fly rule" and their handling of Medlen. Their season ended over a week ago, one and done.Savor Game 4 of Werth's walkoff and innings 1 to 8.5 of Game 5 which looked so great.Every team goes through 2nd guessing and the blame game. The Braves are pointing the finger at the umps and MLB for most of their anger but even if they got their way, would they have beaten the Cardinals?Fate and the baseball gods have their own outcome.I still feel great about the season, even the way it ended becaue the post-season experience albeit brief is so much better than what we had the previous 7 years.To bigger and better in 2013!

Tired of hearing Morse can't play 1B. One female poster who is a Morse Hater says Morse is a 'marginal" first baseman.Reminder: Last year Morse played 85 games at 1b.Fielding Avg.: .992 LaRoche? .994When healthy Morse hit .303 and 33 homersWhen healthy ALR hit .273 and 32 homersReally, can we keep it real and finally stop calling Morse a lousy or marginal First Baseman? That couldnt be farther from the truth.Tyler Moore at First? Kidding right? Moore is a heavy hitting country boy with Zero Glove — that's Zero.
- Jimmy DeMoney - Oct 15, 2012 at 11:14 PM
Danny was a real "K-Machine" and could not even hit sac flies with a man on 3rd. He needs to learn how to hit like a professional maybe even abandon the switch hitting. Also, when is Davey going to preach the sac bunt? I watched too many games where we had runners in scoring positions and no outs and DID NOT SCORE because of Ks and pops to catcher, 1B or 3B. We really need to focus on perfecting the small ball now that we've shown we've got the power for big ball.
- NatsFanSinceStart - Oct 15, 2012 at 11:17 PM
Espinosa: For those who don't mind the K's, you also dont understand the damage a high strikeout guy does for you. 189 times, Espinosa did not advance a base runner, put pressure on the defense, let alone get a hit. This is why strikeouts are tolerated by producing sluggers who can hit 30+ homers and drive in 100 + rbi. They are producing. Espi is not producing. with an uber-anemic ops and .245 BA, Danny is just not worth it.13 errors at 2b, does not necessarily make you a gold glover — good? oh yes. Golden? Nah. But I'll give him the defense — still, not worth LEADING the League in K's.Trade him — he's not smart enought to solve his hitting problems — which he's tried for over 2 years. Lombo is a far superior player to Espi.

I'm also wondering whose Fruit Loops that Michael Morse p-ssed in.He had a MVP type season in 2011 and unfortunately was injured most of 2012. He is a weak left-fielder and probably the weak link in the team's defense and so what, if he is healthy in 2013, he will be a beast again. If not, he's on a 1 year deal remaining and will be gone.I'd much rather have Michael Morse than any LF the Nats have had in the past.
- MicheleS - Oct 16, 2012 at 12:06 AM
Gonat. You spotted right away. Weak link in OF. i still think he has lingering issues with his injury. Plus davey sat him after the pantomime in the OF. That is the only issue anyone has with MM. Love his bat and presence in the lineup. Just needs to work on fielding. Kind of the opposite of Espi.

Ghost Of Steve M. said… There's a reason this team won 100 games and lost 67. They are good, actually very good. This team really doesn't have to do a think.By the way, Kilgore says the Nats should pursue an older pitcher who would take less year in a FA deal, and he named Lohse and Peavy and said not Greinke with a fallback of keeping Lannan.I have to agree with him and I would be fully on Lohse as I have said for a while. Then the Nats need to find 1 more pitcher who is AAA ready as you always need a 6th pitcher.If the Nats do absolutely nothing except re-sign LaRoche and get back a healthy Ramos, then Rizzo has 2 pieces to trade: Flores and Lannan.The Nats go into next year with:1. Werth RF2. Harper CF3. Zim 3B4. LaRoche 1B5. Morse LF6. Desi SS7. Lombo/Espi 2B8. Ramos/Suzuki C1. Stras2. Gio3. JZim4. Det5. Lohse/Peavy/?1. Suzuki/Ramos2. Tracy3. Bernadina4. Espi/Lombo5. T. Moore1. Stammen2. Gorzo3. Garcia4. Mattheus5. Michael Gonzalez6. Clippard7. StorenI have highlighted some of the question marks. Burnett has said he will decline his option at $3.5 million.

Having two GG-level shortstops is an unbelievable asset. _____________________________________I wasn't alive when Earl Weaver was managing but I still believe that was an era pre-Cal where you put up with Earl's light hitting shortstop Mark Belanger (?) except he had a good hitting 2nd baseman named Davey Johnson.Now team's expect their Gold Glovers to be productive with their bats and Danny isn't winning a Gold Glove any time soon as there are probably 2 to 3 2nd baseman in front of him.Danny is less productive than Strasburg and we all know it. Its a compliment to Strasburg and an embarrassment to Danny. He is better than that. Why won't he embrace what Davey has taught him and stick to it?

Sanchez5) 3rd-base coach – replacing Bo Porter6) Bullpen – (Burnett & Gonzales – FAs)- retain or replace? 7) Henry Rodriguez – a keeper or goner?8) Suzuki or Ramos – who is no.1?9) Is Werth the permanent lead-off hitter?10) Extension for Davey Johnson – but for how long?

"baseballswami said… What in the world are we going to do with Lombo? He can't possibly go back to AAA, he is too good to sit the bench. For his sake, I hope he gets traded. I love that kid.You need to start thinking like a fan of a winning team. Winning teams that have players like Lombo – good enough to start elsewhere but blocked here, versatile and able to contribute in many areas, under team control – don't just trade them for the good of the player. They keep them, and trade them only if absolutely necessary to fill a need. That's how winning teams maintain the depth that keeps them as winning teams.Losing teams OTOH always trade such players, because they have so many holes to fill. That's why losing teams take so long to become winners, because if any one piece of their fragile puzzle goes missing, they have no depth to backfill with.This may not be fair to such players, but it's baseball."—————-Exactly.

Giants take the lead. And we obviously just disagree about Lombo. Doesn't mean one of us is wrong or ill- informed,we just don't agree. If Danny could just get a grip with his hitting. It pains me to see a good hitter, who isn't exactly a defensive liability, sit while Danny is an automatic out- and not even an out that moves a runner.maybe will improve, but how long can they wait?

rogieshan and gonat… interesting and great posts let me add my own tweaks…If BJ Upton was a Nat and Morse was traded, outfield would be Harper in LF, Upton in CF and Werth in RF Catchers: Suzuki and ramos1b LaRoche (I believe we will sign him $40 mil over 3 years)2B OK, this is where it gets tricky…. I say Espi and Lombo are both needed and it it is simple, verse a lefty it is Espi verse a righty it is Lombo to start the game3b Zimss DesiWerth should lead off as Upton KO's a lot
- Drew - Oct 16, 2012 at 1:59 AM
Speaking of future first basemen, Matt Skole is tearing it up in the Arizona Fall League. He went 3 for 4 today. In his first four games he's 7 for 12 for a league-leading .583 clip against top prospects. He's got 5 RBIs.Brian Goodwin is hitting .353 with two doubles and two homers. Anthony Rendon had an ohfer today and is hitting .286.Cole Kimball retired all four batters he faced today.More young talent is on the fast track.

Here are the fielding ratings of second basemen (NL) per fangraphs:13.0 Danny Espinosa, Darwin Barney8.1 Brandon Phillips4.6 Aaron Hill2.0 Dan Uggla 1.4 Neil Walker-5.3 Marco Scutaro-9.5 Daniel Murphy-15.8 Jose Altuve-16.0 Rickie Weeks.As I said. Danny tied with the Cubs 2B, no one else is close.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 2:49 AM
Adam LaRoche is the top fielding 1B in the NL, next is Goldschmidt.Morse didn't play 1B enough this year to "qualify."In 2011 he was the WORST fielding 1B, per fangraphs at -13.0. Next worst was Freddie Freeman at -12.6. Also, my eyes told me he was pretty poor. All you had to do was see the difference when Marrero came up–as Marrero had been taught the position and knew how to come in on bunts, etc. Morse never had the opportunity to learn the position, as he was just shoved in there and did the best he could. That didn't make him a good first baseman, that just made him a player who tried hard.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 2:53 AM
Lombardozzi didn't play enough to qualify, but he was at 1.7 fielding on fangraphs. Above average but not close to Danny.

Morse was also the worst LF in the league, although there were some others that were close, so it's not as apparent.

Morse never had the opportunity to learn the position, as he was just shoved in there and did the best he could. That didn't make him a good first baseman, that just made him a player who tried hard.But certainly better than Prince Fielder who is the playoffs with Detroit or Adam Dunn in spit of what your eyes told you. In the end Tyler Moore might have been slightly better but Morse would have the advantage in terms of range … You need to let go of this Natslady. Teams who are in the hunt for the world series are playing offensive specialists instead of fielders like Rick Ankiel. It is happening right now. Morse is an offensive presence who must be taken seriously, his bat produced 18 homers and a decent number of doubles in spite of the persistent injuries.And to claim that Morse could end up injured again? What about LaRoche who lost almost an entire season to an injury while on the Nats watch. That doesn't count?C'mon. And they claim I sound like a broken record?Tyler Moore could conceivably replace Morse … he has the talent but like Morse he is very, very slow afoot and not very agile. At any position. Yet he does come with a potent bat.Because of his youth Moore could be a far more attractive trade option to a team like Tampa Bay. And the Nats would still have Michael Morse.Baseball is about hitting first … its what I learned first when I started playing hardball at age 5. That's what you start with because offense is the more important aspect of the game. And when you can hit, unless its really egregious, fielding / defensive issues are often permitted.

peric, I can live with Morse in LF if he is healthy and productive. Harper can swing over and help him out, as can any other competent CF. That is not the case at 1B. I don't care about Fielder–Detroit made the decision to go for offense over defense and it has cost them plenty of games. They barely made it into the playoffs in the WORST division of MLB. They may go to the WS but that is only because they have great pitching (otherwise known as "run-prevention") and the Yanks are slumping big-time. If you can have a big bat AND great D, why wouldn't you go for it? Big bat and great D, thy name is Adam LaRoche.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:10 AM
Speaking of future first basemen, Matt Skole is tearing it up in the Arizona Fall League. He went 3 for 4 today. In his first four games he's 7 for 12 for a league-leading .583 clip against top prospects. He's got 5 RBIs.And Natsjack was right when he said the Matt Skole, like Tyler Moore and Chris Marerro before will have to work on his fielding skills at first base and perhaps third to bring them up to major league levels. That's going to take at least a year or more just as it did with them. Marerro was horrific at first base in Potomac as was Moore. Both had improved dramatically by the time they reached Syracuse and continued to improve there. Not something Natslady was aware of I bet.However, again, Skole as has a big left-handed bat. He and Goodwin are the two left-handed offensive players closest to the majors. Goodwin would be the superior defensive player.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:13 AM
If you can have a big bat AND great D, why wouldn't you go for it? Big bat and great D, thy name is Adam LaRoche.33 years old next season with an entire injury lost to a shoulder injury just around a year and a half previously. That's why. Morse, Moore, Zimmerman, Marerro, and Skole are younger. You can't give Adam LaRoche a 4 year contract. And that is what I suspect he will be trying to get just like Dunn did.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:17 AM
peric, I can live with Morse in LF if he is healthy and productive. And it wasn't just Morse … there was Lombardozzi and Bernadina. The three combined put up some decent offense out of the left field position. And in Bernadina's case close to gold glove defense.You see every position and one owner … it typically doesn't work that way across a 162 game season. Did your fav fielder Werth play the entire season in right field? Neither did Morse right? Just Harper and Bernadina came out of the season reasonably unscathed. Harper is just 19 that's to be expected and that is the major advantage to having a talent like his at so young an age. Injuries are less likely.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:19 AM
Yes, I was aware of Marrero's improvement. That is exactly why I said Morse did not have the opportunity to learn the position of 1B, whereas Marrero did have that opportunity. I suspect Moore could improve, but I don't know. Morse could improve also, but no one is going to send him to AAA for six months or a year to get that type of coaching because his bat is too valuable.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:21 AM
Look in LaRoche's case the Nats are going to try to do with him as they did with EJax. They are going to attempt to overpay him on a 2 year contract. In two years Rendon, Goodwin, Skole, Moore … and someone will likely rise to the fore next season. And LaRoche could get injured again … at his and Werth's age it happens with greater frequency. This season was a career year for LaRoche he likely won't repeat it if his history is any indicator.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:22 AM
Lombardozzi learned LF, and he did pretty well at it. I have no idea what point you are making, peric.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:25 AM
I suspect Moore could improve, but I don't know. He has significantly at first base. He will never be an outfielder. He's just way too slow … he's not as bad as Marerro who is still a total disaster in the outfield. Yes, they did try him there first. In Moore's case he is a good enough athlete to handle left-field competently perhaps … but his range will always be extremely limited.Believe it not, in spite of "your eyes" Morse has the greater range. He's a bit too heavy right now and that weight has made him less agile. The bulk likely helps his offense though. If Morse lost 15 – 20 he would be a pretty decent outfielder I suspect.
- rmoore446 - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:26 AM
One sure thing about NatsLady, she loves her some fangraphs. For myself, I don't completely worship at the shrine of modern metrics. I pay some mind to it but leave just a wee bit of room for my own observations and judgements.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:27 AM
Lombardozzi learned LF, and he did pretty well at it. I have no idea what point you are making, peric.The point is that last year due to all the injuries the outfield was an ensemble NOT a solo act. It worked. Morse WAS VERY productive as a part time player AGAIN. As was Lombo out of that position. And this year so was Roger Bernadina! Why are you complaining?
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:29 AM
It's also possible that Morse is injured and tired at the end of the season. But Lombo got better reads and jumps on balls despite his inexperience in the outfield (still a weak arm, though). Morse may have better range, but he doesn't seem to have better instincts in LF. Strangely (to me), he did OK in the few times he was in RF.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:31 AM
One sure thing about NatsLady, she loves her some fangraphs. For myself, I don't completely worship at the shrine of modern metrics.As my very smart stat / math professors liked to opine, folks like to use stats to make their points. She is using them to make hers without looking at the whole picture. When I looked at the stats with an objective eye I found John Lannan severely wanting as a top of the rotation starter. My use of objective stats to demonstrate that went against a popular player in many eyes. But the facts were the facts and the stats used from stats corner were very neutral and unbiased. And that is what you want. Its true in Espinosa's case. He is such a great athlete that he does produce some very good stats even when he is struggling! But no one seems to notice that. or his sublime fielding in the middle of the infield.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:32 AM
rmoore, didn't I say I use my own eyes? I use fangraphs, yes, because they have professionals looking at every play in every game, which I can't do. Sheesh, peric complains I use my eyes too much and you complain I use them not enough. Good night, folks.
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:34 AM
But Lombo got better reads and jumps on balls despite his inexperience in the outfield (still a weak arm, though)He's also a lot smaller than Morse who is at least 6 foot five Natslady. It does make a difference in terms of agility in case your eyes haven't observed that yet.Its why they feel Harper may not always fit in CF. He may still be growing! If he reaches 6'6 like his brother, given his stature and Morse like build he may not be able to handle the position!Stop!
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:34 AM
Huh? Espinosa is great as a fielder! When did I not notice that??????????????????????? I didn't need fangraphs to know Danny was a great fielder, I just wanted to see how outsiders ranked him compared to other great fielders. People here have been complaining about his offense. You, peric, as a person who values hitting above everything–why aren't you hating on Danny?
- peric - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:37 AM
Huh? Espinosa is great as a fielder! When did I not notice that??????????????????????? In that case I wasn't referring to you … the general Nats world population appears to like to ignore that. I know for certain you appreciate that … in spades. Perhaps too much to the exclusion of offense!However, Danny produces … just not what every one (and Danny) thinks he should.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:38 AM
Um, no. Werth is 6'5 or 6'6 and agile and a good base-runner/stealer. Plenty of basketball players are tall, fast and agile. Not buying the height thing. That's not to say Harper may be a CF forever, just saying I don't buy Morse's height as an excuse. As people are fond of reminding us, Morse started as a SS. Desi is tall also, doesn't stop him from being fast and agile.
- rmoore446 - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:41 AM
NatsLady, I'm sorry but sometimes folks seem to quote these things like the evangelists of my youth used to quote Bible verses as their trump cards.I know Danny shines bright in all those metrics. He has great range and day in and day out is an excellent fielder. But all that doesn't mean I can ignore that in the most important game of his career, he couldn't get a ball out of his glove to turn a much needed double play. He's young and maybe this trip to the pressure cooker of the playoffs will be something to build on.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:44 AM
But you are right about one thing, I am not looking at the whole picture, I'm looking at defense. There are stats for the "whole" picture. This started with a poster (not you, peric) attacking me for saying Morse was a "marginal" first baseman. Not on offense, but on defense–he IS a poor first baseman. However, if Rizzo doesn't re-sign LaRoche and they decide to play Morse at 1B, then the infield will adjust to him just as they did last time around. It won't be as good an infield–not nearly–but it might be good enough.
- NatsLady - Oct 16, 2012 at 3:47 AM
rmoore, that wasn't the only time Danny's infield wasn't great in the playoffs, and Desi could have (not should have, but certainly could have) gloved the Descalso hit. Like you, I'm hoping for perfection next year!
- baseballswami - Oct 16, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Ok, we haves covered this to death. What positions are next? About seven am maybe?
- NatsForever - Oct 16, 2012 at 8:49 PM
Need to re-sign LaRoche. Then watch Desi and Danny grow and with Zim 100%, it is one of the best infields in baseball.

"I didn't know that it can't run Windows VSTs"
It can run those. You just choose not to use it. That's a whole different situation.
In my personal experience, Windows VSTs run well with some sorry exceptions. For instance, the only few plug-ins I couldn't run were the ones shipped with my Focusrite interface. At the same time, Roland's VSTi that was also part of the bundle Just Worked (tm). So really, it's matter of building a library of tools that have proved to work. Much like on Windows.

Until January, the Parisian department store Le Printemps is devoting its windows to Dior and offering a number of limited editions. Now it's your turn to discover the Advent calendar as it opens its doors on the house.
Behind the cardboard facade of the house's legendary home at 30 avenue Montaigne, the whole Dior story can be found: Monsieur Dior's good-luck star which never left his pocket, his two favorite flowers, the rose and lily-of-the-valley, the J'adore perfume's amphora, the characteristic cannage motif that can also be found on the Lady Dior bag - the list goes on. Behind each of its doors, the Advent calendar conceals chocolates filled with fondant caramel or praline, with the Dior codes drawn on each in gold.
Throughout the first twenty-four days of the month of December, the chocolates are the stars of this fun and tasty tale. One yearns for them, and one is forced to wait, until, finally, one's patience is rewarded. Each day brings a new surprise. What code will it reveal? What flavor will it be? A countdown calendar to whet the appetite until it's time to open the gifts sitting under the Christmas tree.

Pettine and Browns owner Jimmy Haslam communicated to Manziel that he is not in the Berea, Ohio, team facility as "Johnny Football" and Haslam went so far as to encourage Manziel to "act like a backup."
With incumbent starter Brian Hoyer back on the field this week as organized team activities advance, general manager Ray Farmer added his two cents, saying Hoyer is well ahead of Manziel "by a substantial margin" as an NFL quarterback.
That won't dissuade fans and media clamoring to see Manziel climb into the cockpit of the Cleveland offense to see if he just might be able to make the same brand of magic he did as a Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M.
"(Manziel) will be the first one to tell you that he earned 'Johnny Football' as a college quarterback, and he knows he has to earn it as an NFL quarterback," Pettine told NFL Network on Thursday. "We're not going to let jersey sales determine our depth chart."
Hoyer met the news of Manziel's addition with three words, according to Pettine.
"He said, 'Bring it on,'" Pettine said.
Hoyer, 28, knows what it means to toil as a backup. He was undrafted out of Michigan State in 2009 but signed with the New England Patriots to sit behind Tom Brady and bounced from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Arizona Cardinals in 2012 before he joined the Browns last season as a backup to Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden.
Hoyer is not far ahead of the competition in new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's offense. He has more experience in totality, but made only three starts and is still recovering from a torn ACL. Part of his recovery was embracing the ongoing battle for a starting job.
"It was almost a sense of relief when he was drafted," Hoyer said, "because I knew exactly right then and there what it was going to be."
Manziel and St. Louis Rams rookie defensive end Michael Sam are 1-2 in rookie jersey sales, according to the NFL.
The Browns are doing their best to crush the constant buzz around Manziel. Already they limited national media access during offseason workouts. Pettine clarified Thursday that Manziel is not even the No. 2 quarterback on the roster -- journeyman newcomer Tyler Thigpen currently holds that distinction.
Pettine experienced a media storm around New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez as a member of the coaching staff. He also worked as defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills last season, when first-round pick EJ Manuel became the starting quarterback amidst constant attention.
"I don't know how much of an effect it had, but I think what we're planning to do is just limit it as best we can, not to encourage it," he said. "We know the fire is burning, but we just don't want to throw gas on it."

Dads, daughters dance for Valentine's
Sunday, February 17, 2013
BERWICK, Maine — The Valentine's Day tradition at Noble Middle School continued Saturday, as girls got to spend the evening with their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or brothers at the annual dance and social event.
Rob Gnirk, of Berwick, also came to the dance with his two daughters, Taylor, 6, and Alli, 8, who attend Vivian Hussey Primary School. After the three of them had their picture taken near the front door of Noble Middle School, they spent time making crafts, including head bands and picture frames.
"I like crafts," said Alli near the station for making picture frames with a Valentine's Day theme.
For Gnirk and his daughters, Saturday was their third year in a row attending the event.
"You can't miss this," said Gnirk. "It's fun for the girls, it's good to spend some time with them."
Event participants were also served dinner, and pink cupcakes were also available for dessert.
Taylor said that the proceeds from the served food went to benefit Up With People, a traveling musical organization.

The Country House hotel overlooking the sea.
Looking out across the glittering clear waters of the bay, stretching from the Needles on the Isle of Wight to the east across to the giant chalk cliffs of Old Harry Rocks to the west and the Purbeck Hills of Hardy's Wessex beyond, Hotel Miramar occupies one of the most spectacular vantage points in Bournemouth.Sympathetic to its Edwardian origins, Hotel Miramar is the epitome of an English Country House with its rambling facade of Roman inspired pillars and curved balconies which overlook the terraces and sweeping lawns that appear to stretch down to the waters edge. A Spectacular Vantage Point We are delighted to welcome you to Hotel Miramar where guests quickly become good friends to the many long standing staff, whose experience and care will ensure that your stay will be remembered
with fondness and affection as well as giving a fervent wish to return and experience once again, the magic that is 'Hotel Miramar' Inside the splendour continues - the clean lines and perfect angles of the fine architecture has lost nothing of its original character, retaining both the charm and grace of Edwardian style. The tranquil atmosphere exudes a serenity and warmth that immediately transports one to an era far from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life and
total relaxation is the only option. Sumptuously furnished and richly decorated in the Edwardian style, the main lounge invites both relaxation and lively conversation - the perfect place to take tea and plan expeditions to the many attractions that Bournemouth has to offer or as the sun goes down over the Purbeck Hills to enjoy a specially created cocktail before dinner to the sounds of mellow piano playing, accompanied by the lapping of the waves at the waters edge.
The recently completed refurbishment programme has given the Hotel Miramar a symmetry to the magnificent front facade that overlooks the bay from the Needles in the east to Old Harry Rocks and the Purbeck Hills beyond, to the west. In turn, the Hotel now benefits from new large bays to both the restaurant and the lounge as well as extensions to the ground floor terraces and the balcony terraces to some of the bedrooms. Many more guests can now enjoy stunning views from the south facing sunny terraces across lawns and gardens to the deep blue sea beyond while enjoying fine food and drinks, pausing only to watch the many craft that stir the waters of the bay.

CNN — Divergent Republican views on raising tax rates for the wealthy were on display Sunday, as time grew shorter for reaching a deal to avoid fiscal crisis at the end of the year.
Reps. Marsha Blackburn and Tom Cole both said on CNN's "State of the Union" they didn't want to see rates increase for top-earning Americans, which President Barack Obama has said must be included in a deal to cut the nation's federal deficit. But the two disagreed on whether it was politically wise for Republicans to steadfastly oppose those tax hikes on the top 2% of American incomes.
Cole made waves earlier this month by suggesting Congress pass a deal piece by piece and immediately extend tax cuts for the 98% of Americans who fall below the $250,000 threshold, and then negotiate later over the remaining top 2% of taxpayers.
On Sunday, Cole reiterated his position that an initial deal needs to be reached to assure most Americans their taxes won't increase at the end of the year. But he said after that, members of his party should be willing to concede some points to Democrats if a larger compromise can be struck.
"Some of our people think if we dig in and hold strong we can stop it, but that's not the case. It happens automatically," Cole told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley. "You have to do something, and doing something requires the cooperation of the Senate, which the Democrats run, and the signature of the president. So we're not going to get 100% of what we want -- but we can get a lot."
The Oklahoma Republican said a deal that keeps rates low for 98% of Americans would be politically popular, no matter what happens to rates for top earners, as long as voters feel their representatives are fighting for lower taxes generally.
Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, argued increased revenue should come from reforming the tax code, though such a task seems unlikely in the few weeks remaining before the end-of-the-year deadline.
Republicans in the House would not support a deal that raises tax rates on anyone, she said, pointing to support for increasing revenue "by cleaning up the code."
Earlier this week, House Speaker John Boehner delivered a proposal that offered up to $800 billion in new revenue from closing loopholes and capping deductions for wealthier Americans -- a break from the Republican position that no new tax increases are needed.
"It makes sense to me," Cole said of Boehner's offer, noting it had the support of every major Republican committee chairman. "At the end of the month, taxes go up for everybody. Let's make sure, where we can, we save as many of those tax cuts for as many people as possible and continue to fight."
"It's not waving a white flag to recognize political reality," he said.
Boehner is "a speaker at the peak of his power" who will likely remain in his post for the foreseeable future, Cole stressed.
"This is the first part of a relationship that will stretch for years," he said. "(Boehner and Obama) need each other to succeed. But honestly, the president needs John Boehner more than John Boehner needs the president."
Blackburn said Obama "thinks he has momentum," but is merely "running on adrenaline from the campaign."
Despite the loss of Republican seats in the House and Senate, Blackburn argued voters had affirmed support for the GOP on Election Day.
"The American people have clearly said we don't want our taxes to go up," the Tennessee lawmaker said.

To Zoom in or Zoom out?
SANParks gets a lot of contradictory requests regarding the webcam zoom. Some people prefer to see the whole waterhole while others want to be able to see the animals on the cameras at a closer range. Unless someone monitors the webcams day and night and makes adjustments accordingly (a service which we cannot provide), there is no way we can meet all preferences, all of the time.
Our compromise is to have someone who adjusts the cameras in and out from time to time in order to make all webcam watchers happy at least some of the time. We hope you understand and continue to enjoy the webcams whether they're zoomed in or out, and share your highlights with us on the forums.
