Winter misery leaves most of us feeling blue
Last updated at 16:51, Tuesday, 22 January 2013
THEY said it would be the most miserable day of the year and they got it right – unless you were a teacher, pupil or school-running parent spotting snow before first light.
Then it will have prompted a different mood, as you eagerly checked texts for confirmation of a gift from the heavens and crawled back into bed for a long, cosy lie-in.
For the rest of us, it remained pretty depressing. As predicted, January 21 lived up to all expectations of doom, gloom, slipping, sliding and coppering up for a make-do-and-mend packed lunch.
There's an arithmetical equation somewhere that sums up Blue Monday – a formula which explains why that particular day puts us in the doldrums and has us throwing black looks and glowering stares at everyone within sniping distance.
It's a long way from the pay-day that came early for Christmas – and too far from the next one that's already been spent.
The weather is foul, there's next to no daylight, there's nothing to look forward to, resolutions have been broken (at least twice), the diet is shot and keeping the house warm is costing a king's ransom.
And to cap it all, you're not a teacher.
Yes, it happened again. Wintry weather (in winter) closed down hundreds of schools all over the country.
Even where only a dusting of snow had fallen, classes fell like nine-pins because – well, because that's what they do.
There are lots of reasons, apparently. Teachers who live a distance from work can't get in on time when the weather turns bad, it's unsafe for kids to chance it – because they might slip in the playground and sue – and boilers break down when they're needed in winter, as they have been doing for the past 50 years.
Oh, and not only schools throw in the towel. Airports grind to a halt, flights are cancelled, buses reschedule, trains give up the ghost. Even the London underground limped through long delays because of snow.
What a sorry little country of mediocrity we must seem to outsiders who take all extreme elements routinely and happily in their stride.
Give us temperatures below zero and we come to a shivering, panic-stricken stop. When the thermometer registers 20 degrees we order a hosepipe ban!
All this comes into a sharp, miserable focus on a snowy January 21.
To coin one of Elton John's favourite lines – I guess that's why they call it the blues.

Have your say
Ah, every year out comes the old NWEM attack on teachers for not teaching when their bosses close their school. Repeat after me: "Teacher do not close schools!" Now write it out a hundred times.
I remember fondly many many years ago on a day when I was put in charge of my school as the Head and Deputy were away. Before midday I received a message from the bus company to say that, if they did not come straightaway, they would be unable to come at all to collect the children as they could then not leave their depot as there was so much snow. Since 90% of our pupils came by bus, I had little choice and so became very popular when I announced the decision. Should I have done what my boss did a year later and delayed the decision so long the buses could not through and the kids were at school until 10.30pm with a fleet of 4x4s and the Mountain Rescue used to take them home? Or did I, as you suggest, merely "throw in the towel"?Make your comment

A big thanks to tangerine for tipping me off to this hysterical new video featuring Novak Djokovic pimping out HEAD!
The sexy Serb, who partnered with the racquet maker on the brilliant "Speed Lessons" videos, is shown mid-match running off the screen for a ball hit at an incredibly severe angle. And what ensues is pure hilarity, Nole-style.
But let me just say this: I'd give my left teste to be on oil-rubbing granny right about now. CLASSIC.

Pretty funny,I can see this in the next TBS funny commercial special.
Thumbs up Head. - AnonymousApril 14, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Great video - With Marat on the way out (big tears), we need a Djoker on tour. Love him or hate him, we need him.
OT - does anyone know if it's confirmed that Federer is having a boy??? Here is an excerpt from his Monte Carlos presser:
Q. Did you already decide the name of your son?
ROGER FEDERER: Not yet. You know, we'll see. There's quite a few books around that are that thick, so we'll see where it takes us.
But, no, we haven't decided anything yet. Yeah, I have no clue yet right now myself. Thank God we got time left, right, to decide.
Ummm, Rog, why do you need the books, Mango Blackberry has already been chosen for quite awhile! ;)
-Tin - AnonymousApril 14, 2009 at 3:24 PM
That actually scared me a little bit..haha. Where'd he get those? Were they just hiding in his closet somewhere?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 14, 2009 at 3:41 PM
According to this it will be a boy.
Lily - AnonymousApril 14, 2009 at 9:05 PM
That was really funny. His moves with the 90s band boys were the best part.
And is it true? Fed is having a boy? Even though Mango Blackberry is awesome, I still think he should name him Rafael ;) OHMYGOD, hahahahahaa!!! Hilarity, indeed! :D
Classic Djokester, we've missed you!
FLOVE the Flashdance reference. And what disturbs me is that I find him so sexy throughout the whole commercial (ok maybe except for that nipple moment...).
He would've had me with the balloon doggie already, hehe.- AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 7:11 AM
oh my god....this is such a cringe but strangely attractive (excluding the aforementioned nipple tassle moment!)
I don't know what the ad guys at HEAD are on - seriously! First speed lessons and now this can full of crazy, loool. Loved it and linked to your post on my blog! Thanks for posting it.

Home > Community > Health Library > Breast-Feeding as Birth Control
Breast-feeding can be used as a method of birth control, called the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). But three conditions must be met to ensure its effectiveness:
When these conditions are met, LAM has been shown to be about 98% effective.1 But many doctors recommend that you also use another method of birth control.
After 6 months, even if you are breast-feeding exclusively and your period has not returned, you must use an additional form of birth control if you do not want to get pregnant. You can get pregnant before your first period. This is because you ovulate, then have your period.
At any point during breast-feeding, use a reliable method of birth control if you do not want to get pregnant. Many methods are safe to use while you are breast-feeding, although some are more reliable than others. Options include:
Fertility awareness is not recommended for birth control during breast-feeding. This method is less reliable and harder to manage than other forms of birth control, especially with the sporadic ovulation that may occur while you are breast-feeding.
For more information, see the topic Birth Control.

I really like setting a Xfce-Desktop up for elderly people, as there are three factors which essentially rule out most other DE's:
- It's intuitive. I only need around 10 minutes to explain somebody who has been using Windows for 10 years how Xfce works. It's really handy!
- It has a low memory-footprint. It might not be as low as DWM, which I am using, but it is one of the best compared to other "normal" DE's
- It's well-extendable. It's really astonishing how great the xfce4-tools are. It is very easy to set a printer up or use ICC-color-correction, because there is only one central way of configuration, which I really like, and the tools are developed in-house.
Seeing it surpass the other contestants should show us all that benchmarking in one those DE's may be more precise and will definitely yield better results (as shown in the article). Who's with me?

1079: United Shapes
United Shapes |
[Click comic to enlarge] Title text: That eggplant is in something of a flaccid state. |
The large version is here: http://xkcd.com/1079/large/
[edit] Explanation
In this comic, each state of the United States of America has been filled-in with an object of similar shape. Due to the size range of the states, some states are too small to clearly make-out in the normal size image. Click here to see the large version, which makes every state perfectly clear.
Very few, if any, of the shapes used are stereotypes of the state; they are merely objects that look like the state. Some of the objects are those which the states are widely known to resemble. For example, Michigan is represented by a mitten or glove, and a pot with handle takes the place of Oklahoma (with the panhandle region of the state filled with a literal handle). Others, however, are more creative. Few would have likely pictured Texas as a dog or Alaska as a bear with a jet pack and laser gun. There are several incredibly simple objects filling some states. Kentucky is filled by a cloud, which conceivably could have been used for any state, and Wyoming, one of the nearly rectangular states, is simply an envelope. There are three pairs of states that are related. Georgia and Missouri each contain an image of the other, drawing attention to their similar shapes, North and South Dakota are the top and bottom halves of an amp, and Alabama and Mississippi are moai facing in opposite directions.--DrMath 05:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Colorado contains what looks like a Wikipedia article. A close-up of the fake article is provided [1]. The following references are made in the Colorado article:
- The pronunciation is not that for Colorado, but for Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland that erupted in April 2010.
- The way it has a demilitarized zone towards Wyoming resembles North Korea and South Korea. As the two US states are both almost rectangular and border each other in a way similar to Korea this makes sense. Although here it is the southern part (Colorado) that sound like North Korea.--DrMath 05:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- Eleven dimensions refers to string theory.
- A wormhole is a theoretical relative of the black hole. This is a reference to the television series Stargate SG-1 where a device capable of creating wormholes is located in the Cheyenne Mountain nuclear bunker in Colorado.
- A Horcrux is a type of magical object in the world of Harry Potter.
- The radiation zones around Longmont are caused by radioactive contamination from the Rocky Flats Plant.
The title text makes fun of Florida which is sometimes called "The penis of America". Obviously, this penis is somewhat flaccid (not erect). The use of the word "state" is a pun, as it means some particular condition (flaccid state) as well as a political entity (The State of Florida).

Hooray, another comic that only Americans will get. Randall, some of us live in *other* parts of the world. Davidy22[talk] 13:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Wait, so an American artist with a mostly-American audience is supposed to limit himself to cartoons that everyone can understand? And people say AMERICANS are the arrogant ones. 188.8.131.52 07:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Could someone please explain the stereotypes? I'm American and I don't really see any jokes. As far as I can tell, he just picked images that fit in each state. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 07:59, 24 March 2013 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
We still have to fix this thumbnail issue. --Dgbrt (talk) 16:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
For the most part I don't think the shapes have anything to do with the states other than what happens to fit. The Louisiana "boot" and Michigan "glove" are commonly used to describe those states shapes. 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
People in Michigan actually say things like "I live in the thumb" 220.127.116.11 05:18, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure how this really constitutes an explanation. The current text seems to amount to "Yeah this comic is all perfectly clear and logical everyone gets all the references alright I gotta go have fun now!" I think this needs an incomplete flag, but I don't know if someone who isn't a moderator can do that? --Mynotoar (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Could the signature in Wyoming be Randalls own one? Compare it to 1005: SOPA. --126.96.36.199 09:06, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
He does lotsa comics the rest of us can undrestand, too. After all, though, he IS American. Texas: that's a cat? 126.96.36.199 16:26, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
<rant> The bear in the state of Alaska is NOT Winnie the Pooh. The most recognizable version is yellow with a red shirt. The original illustrations didn't have a shirt, but were still yellow. Further more, there ARE other cartoon bears to choose from, or it could just be a non-affiliated one that Randall created for the sake of fitting in the state of Alaska. Add to that the fact that Winnie the Pooh never had a jetpack OR a raygun and there is a pretty solid case for that bear NOT being Winnie the Pooh. </rant> Anonymous 04:51, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

This was the "incomplete explanation of the day" comic the day I started adding to the wiki. For example, Utah was described as "An oven." I changed this to "A white stove" because the entire appliance is called a stove (an oven plus drawer below, cooktop above, and upright piece with controls at the back of the cooktop).

That bit of land is referred to as the Delmarva peninsula, because it includes nearly all of Delaware, the eastern part of Maryland and (not indicated on this map) the southern tip belongs to Virginia. 18.104.22.168 04:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

We have a great opportunity coming up in April to both help out the York YMCA and to promote the model ship / submarine hobby. The April fun run will NOT be held at the Shrewsbury YMCA, but will instead be held at the new Graham Aquatic Center in York. This new center is a part of the York YMCA, and is a brand new facility. They are hosting a "Healthy Kids Day" on Saturday, April 18 from 11:00 until 3:00. The aquatic director in Shrewsbury has asked if we would display and run boats there that day. We'll have the use of the 25 meter indoor pool.
I would appreciate if you all could check your schedules, and put this date on it. Note that it's a Saturday, and will take the place of our regularly scheduled Sunday meet in Shrewsbury.
Please consider coming if at all possible. Even if you don't actually run your boat / ship, it will provide wonderful exposure to the hobby in general and the local clubs for the community and the media. We all lament regularly how the hobby is shrinking, here's your chance to make a difference. Show up, and show off! Let me know if you're coming. I'll follow up soon with directions, etc.
ps. The regularly scheduled March meet for Sunday, March 8 will be at the Shrewsbury YMCA as usual.

Chad Tracy and Danny Espinosa have swung hot bats the last two days.
With their regular Nos. 3, 4 and 5 all sidelined due to injury at the moment, who would have imagined the Nationals' most substantial offensive production the last two days would come from the likes of Chad Tracy, Danny Espinosa and Rick Ankiel?
Well, Davey Johnson, for one.
The Nationals manager has been insisting all week those three hitters were due to get on track, which explains in part why all three have been in the lineup the last two days.
They all made Johnson's decision pay off.
Tracy, subbing for injured first baseman Adam LaRoche, is 5-for-9 with two homers so far in this series against the Phillies. The 31-year-oldRead more »

At the game yesterday, was telling my hubby and friends how some were complaining about Davey sitting Moore and playing Tracy, and how he said he was trying to get him started. Then I amended to allow as how I was among the "some." Advantage, Davey, as his bat was certainly going on Friday and Saturday.Hoping for Espi to continue in this vein. I'm rooting for you, kid!

- fasteddie - May 6, 2012 at 2:52 PM
I've read posts re: Ramos' dropped throws, allowing runners to score. I'm more concerned re: his inability to throw out base-stealers. He's 1 for 20 in nailing runners at second. I assume some of these could be attributable to the pitchers. Once the word gets out, everyone will be running. Did he have this problem in the past? Should Jesus be getting more starts?I'm a huge Nats fan, so don't take this as a negative. Just a concern going forward.
- Doc - May 6, 2012 at 2:52 PM
Not likely that Riggleman would have eyeballed the stats and seen how Hamels does worse against lefties.It would be an interesting article Mark, that would give us NIs a general sense on how Davey works with the Nats' stats nerds up in the FO, of whom Stan Kasten was so proud.Kinda think that Uncle Jimmy never really articulated with them. Presuming Davey more so.But yeah MarkMeister, back to the real world of superstition, please schedule several trips out of the press box to go down to field level.
- fasteddie - May 6, 2012 at 2:57 PM
jeffwx: When RZ returns, Lombo and Espi need to switch roles. Lombo goes to second and Espi to the bench. Likewise, when Morse returns Nady or Bernie need to become historical–take your pick, neither is contributing.
- Doc - May 6, 2012 at 3:11 PM
Re: fasteddie @ 10:52I'd like Ramos to do well, he seems like such a good guy with such great talen. I have watched a lot of Nats games with either Ramos or JFlo behind the plate.It appears to me that JFlo is more agile at digging balls out of the dirt, and has the stronger and more accurate throws to 2nd and 3rd.Ramos looks particularly challenged on throws from the OF, and if he keeps it up will create a record for dropped pop-ups.Can't believe that Davey and Co. haven't noticed the same thing.Like to see both Ramos and JFlo do well.
- Scott from Burke - May 6, 2012 at 3:12 PM
Not likely that Riggleman would have eyeballed the stats and seen how Hamels does worse against lefties.I don't think that's fair..he's an ok manager..not a colwn like Manuel and Guillen (of course they both won it all)…being challenged to a fight by a pitcher isn't gonna make you look too good..i think Marquis deserves some blame on that one…but players clearly respond better to a manager who has won a world series and is so at ease in the spotlight

Fasteddie, I have the same concerns about Ramos. I keep hearing the pitchers saying he calls a great game, they never have to shake him off, he keeps the ball moving in and out, up and down. Great. But apart from that, he seems to be a terrible defensive catcher. People were complaining about dropped throws last year, so this isn't something new. His inability to throw runners out, OTOH, does appear to be a new problem. Flores has thrown out three of five so far this season, and Ramos hasn't been that much more effective than Flores with the bat in his hand. Someone mentioned that Ramos appears to be bigger this year than last; maybe he takes too long to get up out of the crouch to get a throw off in time to catch the runner; he's 6'0" and 250 pounds, while Flores is 6'1" and only 210. That's forty more pounds Ramos is carrying around on a slightly shorter frame, and unless it's all leg muscle, he has to be taking more time to get up and throw than Flores does.

- NCNatsie - May 6, 2012 at 3:25 PM
The other guy we've got is De Rosa. What's his status? The injury report only says TBD. Everyone else has some sort of projection. It would seem he's due off the 15-day in a week or so. Davy liked him a lot this spring, and I've learned to respect that, but if he's not a factor, then I go with Ankiel, Tracy, Lombo and Moore on the bench once RZ and LaRoche return. Cross the Morse return bridge when you get to it.Interesting to read Tracy's stmt that he's hitting better because he's starting. Here in Washington, Chad, we call that lobbying. But, hey, you've done well enough to deserve a hearing — though I don't see ALR as Wally Pipp myself.The whole overstocked roster — pitching included — really is a dilemma for the Natsbrass because even if you figure you gought to trade somebody, who do you want to get in return? More prospects, I guess, but it seems like they're backed up, too. An embvarrassment of riches? Sure is different from the cattle call days just a few years ago. It used to be nobody wanted to come to the franchise because we stunk. Now they may not want to do so because they don't see how they can get any playing time. I love it!

Not to totally defend Ramos, but opposing runners have stolen quite a few bases on various pitchers when Ramos has been in the game. Clip and Stras especially have had several guys be half way to second before they even threw the ball. Hard to throw a guy out when he's almost on the bag when the catcher gets the ball. As far as his dropping perfect peas thrown to him, and pop ups, I've actually wondered about his mitt as much as his technique. On one pop up that he misplayed,he made such an elementary mistake, I couldn't hardly believe it. A catcher is taught at a very early age to catch pop ups with their backs to the outfield. The reason is because of the spin of the ball, the catcher should put his body in the same position as any other player, whenever possible, i.e. his back to the outfield.Ramos tried to make a catch near the mound with his back to the plate, and thus the ball spun out his mitt.
- ehay2k - May 6, 2012 at 3:46 PM
If we have any hope of making the playoffs and then advancing, it is due in no small part to our depth. Just crazy that we are arguing over whom we will have to send down or part with when one of our wounded rejoins the team. In years past, we were watching the waiver wire to see what castoffs we could pick up when other teams had to make difficult choices. The Plan is clearly working. How else to explain the talk about having so many prospects that we may be blocking some by acquiring more in a trade? Enjoy the ride, plan for a sweep tonight. What better team to be the victim of our first sweep than the Philthies?
- SonnyG10 - May 6, 2012 at 4:22 PM
I think the best reason for a catcher to turn around on pop-ups and face away from the pitcher's mound is because the ball will be curving towards the pitcher's mound because of the spin, and you want the ball to curve towards you and not away from you.

Lombardozzi's contribution should've been mentioned. 6 for 10 and a BB the last two games. Espi went 1 for 4 yesterday and his worry about losing his starting jig seems justified at this point given his 2012 record, except for Friday night, and the Nats desperate need for offense. Hope Espi does well, soon; but Lombo seems to be the high OBP guy the Nats need.
- JaneB - May 6, 2012 at 4:30 PM
ALso, WIlson had a very high percentage of put outs on stolen bases last year. This far does seem different, and my sense has been — as Mr. Seamhead above writes — that a lot of the damage has been done before the ball even gets to Wilson. I am glad the Goons are heating up! Looking forward to some Sunday night baseball.
- UnkyD - May 6, 2012 at 4:34 PM
Ramos' game seems full of holes, right now… So much so that I wonder if several weeks in 'Cuse might be beneficial. Besides the % of successful steals (lay some of them on the pitchers…they allow so few base runners, there's not a whole lot of practice opportunities), still 5% ain't gonna make it (going by the figure quoted above). Add the trouble handling plays at the plate, and I still think he's going backhand waay too much, to the glove side, recieving the ball…. I love Moose, but he seems to be a mess defensively, right now. It's none of our business, but, can he be suffering from stress, following his traumatic experience, over the winter? I want him to grow, and catch our studs, for a long time, but I hope he's being handled effectively…. I'm expressing concern here, not tryna be mean, or critical… Thoughts?

- peric - May 6, 2012 at 4:57 PM
I'm still not happy about Davey not playing Moore … but unlike Riggleman I understand his logic …with Giggleman all you heard was how he had to respect his veterans or he'd lose them … and respect the game by putting your best lineup out there (which of course as we now see really WASN'T!!!) Davey said he likes T_Mo12 but he felt it would be unfair to him to stick him out there when he doesn't have a slot for him. He's really not ready for left field. Even Harper isn't really where he needs to be in left field … Morse takes better routes to the ball than Harper and it seems like everyone is always complaining about his outfield play. Harper and T_MO12 are still learning and Tyler Moore is way behind Harper in the left field category. As far as first base Tyler Moore is getting reps late in games there because he has improved significantly playing that position as well as some at bats. But with LaRoche starting plus Tracy and perhaps even Morse there really isn't a slot for Tyler Moore unless a catastrophic injury were to occur. I believe Davey because unlike Riggleman who insisted on sticking Adam Kennedy at first base late in games as well as other over-the-hill veterans Johnson does use top prospects and really tries to get them into the lineup so that he can look at them. And not just Harper.
- erocks33 - May 6, 2012 at 4:57 PM
Easiest way to fix Ramos' problems is to bring Pudge back as a coach. Moose had a pretty good record of caught stealing last year and I'm guessing it was mostly due to the daily teachings of Pudge.
- peric - May 6, 2012 at 5:01 PM
Ramos' game seems full of holes, right now… So much so that I wonder if several weeks in 'Cuse might be beneficial.He's in the right place with Randy Knorr as bench coach. He's best suited to coach Ramos now that Pudge is gone. I suspect Pudge might still be here were it not for his penchant to try to force himself in the lineup and then promptly hit into double plays. Probably reinforced by the terrible winter he had offensively. In the end Pudge would be the right guy to get the catchers straight … but I guess the price was too high for Davey … having Pudge might have been like having a "player manager" who liked inserting his name on the lineup card …
- peric - May 6, 2012 at 5:09 PM
but if he's not a factor, then I go with Ankiel, Tracy, Lombo and Moore on the bench once RZ and LaRoche return. Cross the Morse return bridge when you get to it.Based on what I can glean from listening to him I suspect Davey sees Tyler Moore as a backup to LaRoche. He sees him as a starter NOT a bench player. Then, in the back of Davey's mind there's Marerro. I believe Davey sees Marerro as a bench player more than Moore. Marerro is so positionally challenged there is no way they would ever try him in the outfield. He ripped his hamstring stretching at first for a throw. I believe Davey did not mention DeRosa until Marerro went down in winter ball. Marerro was his idea of a right handed bench bat with the ability to drive in runs. He and the FO see Lombardozzi the same way which is why Davey has basically turned him into a better version of the starting utility guy that Riggleman contrived for Cristian Guzman. In Moore's case he is positionally challenged. He's really only safe playing first base and DH at this juncture. But, he specs out as a starter and is an older prospect who should be playing every day not sitting on the bench.Moore is athletic enough to play the outfield with some training. And he has significant power and the potential to produce a high ISO and OPS.

I would add to the list of woes on Ramos his sub-par receiving. I thought HRod's blown save in LA was at least 30% Ramos' fault. A good receiver, Schneider for instance, catches or blocks those wild pitches.Davey Johnson's wisdom lies in his understanding of one thing. Those who've played or coached baseball at a reasonably high level know that if a batter goes into each at bat with the sense his job is on the line, it's tough to hit. Furthermore generating competition for spots within the ball club is detrimental to a team's success. Guys need to have well-defined roles. The starters need to feel comfortable they can have a few bad games and not fear for their positions. Reserves need to know they will be used and their contributions are valued. This is why successful managers don't listen to screaming fans when a guy blows a save or has a bad week/month at the plate.
- peric - May 6, 2012 at 5:30 PM
Can't believe that Davey and Co. haven't noticed the same thing.The two catchers need to remember they have competition as well! Jhonatan Solano is a pretty good catcher in Syracuse and Davey likes veteran Maldonado also in Syracuse. In Harrisburg switch hitting Sandy Leon might be the best defensive catcher the Nats currently have between the majors and minors. If he learns to hit major league pitching as a switch hitter Davey is going to want to look at him.

"The two catchers need to remember they have competition as well!"I'm not sure what you are thinking with this comment. Do people really think that MLB players don't realize their jobs are on the line every day? I understand the fear that money may make some guys lazy, but Ramos and Flores aren't in that category. They haven't signed the life-changing contracts yet. Simply having a spot in the big leagues isn't cause for them to relax and not work.
- #4 - May 6, 2012 at 6:26 PM
I'm with you, NJ. I like Milone and hope he does well. My sense of your comments is that they are more a reaction to those who thought it was stupid to give him up in a package for Gio. The bottom line is that he's a soft-tossing #4 or #5, maybe. Gio's a front-liner.On another note I saw the Winter Park reference in your profile. I played four years in Alfond Stadium as a Tar. I hope you get over there occasionally.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 6, 2012 at 6:28 PM
As long as Ramos and Flores stay healthy, the only catcher that stands a chance reaching Davey's bench this season is Maldanaldo. And that chance is practically nil.But I agree with Peric on Leon. His defensive abilities are probably the best in the whole organization.

Then, when interviewed he said that he had been picking Zim's brain and learning from him. Hence and ergo: mini-me. That kid has got a brain and instincts for playing some ball and the physical skills to go with it. Love Lombo!As far as Milone goes – he would not be pitching in the majors right now if he wasn't with that team. He is going to have to do an awful lot of learning on the job, especially as a location pitcher. He is just going to take some lumps.

And the Orioles are jumping all over the Deadsox.Seems like their goal was to stay lock-step with the Nats since they have the same record? Does it feel to any of you like the O's as an entity feel there is more of a rivalry with the Nats than with the Yankees, Sox? And the Nats biggest rival may be the O's and not the Phillies? Its the sort of rivalry that carries all the way up to ownership and beyond (see Poop__McPoop)? Even to other sports like football where the Ravens can't think of anything they like to do more than humiliate Snyder and his Redskins?

- carolync - May 6, 2012 at 7:50 PM
I'm watching women's softball on ESPN and the announcers have really been talking up the Nats and tonight's game. They've twice put up Bryce graphics and showed Bryce highlights. Surprising for a college broadcast even if the game is on ESPN. How times have changed.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 7:51 PM
Not really. I pretty much ignore the O's except when they play the Nats. Maybe people in Maryland sense a rivalry, but I sure don't. To me the games in Balmer are just an extra chance to see the Nats play near to home.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 7:55 PM
oooops, Nicasio just gave up a 3-run dinger to Freddy Freeman. ATL now leading COL 3-0.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 8:18 PM
A suicide squeeze that didn't work, so the Rox got a double play–and it wasn't close at the plate. Not a good bunt at all. But ATL got a run, so it's now 4-0.
- baseballswami - May 6, 2012 at 8:18 PM
You know, I am just not feeling the Balmer rivalry. I absolutely despise Peter Angelos, especially for the whole tv rights/blackmail thing. I don't particularly care for AL baseball either. Wussy pitchers. I really, really don't like the joint coverage, either. What other two teams would ever do that? According to Mark, on twitter, our game tonight is on like 5 radio stations – sometimes you can't even find one. MLB getting on Bryce's case already about making hitting adjustments – I mean, really he is 19 now and has been up for a whole week – what the heck is he waiting for? His career is practically in ruins!
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 8:21 PM
swami, yes. I am going to drive instead of Metro because I read that the Nats did not make arrangements for Metro to stay open after midnight like the Caps did when they had the triple overtime (and it could go after midnight if there is a rain delay or extra innings). Also, don't fancy the walk home that late.

Really? Getting on Bryce's case? He's walked a bunch of times! He's gotten a couple of smashes that they caught. I mean, he's been up for what, a ten days????? How about Pujols making some adjustments?Actually, I'm more hoping he learns how the wind blows in the outfield and takes better routes.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 6, 2012 at 8:27 PM
Got to agree with you, Swami…don't feel the rivalry with the O's.And I really despise AL baseball.As for the national media and Bryce, you have to tune it out. Absolutely none of it comes close to exposing the kid for what he really is. He's a Baseball player with a capital "B". He plays with passion and baseball smarts beyond his years.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 8:28 PM
Saturday night games = fine with me (because I can't go Saturday afternoons). They are not having very many this year, though, which I understand== trying to bring the kids in.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 8:31 PM
Did you hear Davey on Gio yesterday? Davey says, "I was hoping he would just go up there and take three swings because I needed him for another inning and didn't want him tired."Uh, Davey, nope. Gio likes hitting. You watch out, next he'll learn how to slide and start stealing bases. He's a blast!
- mick - May 6, 2012 at 8:37 PM
zregime said…Yo Mick — You may have this book or have read the story already, but in case not…from Baseball Anecdotes by Daniel Okrent and Steve Wulf:Thanks man, I saw your post on the other blog and as am getting ready to take my son and his buddies to tonight's game, I thought I would respond and say thanks, great post and I have read these ancedotes. Martin and weaver in 69 had more to work with. What may have cost Billy Martin the award was that late in the season, Billy punched out one of his 20 game winning pitcher's Dave Boswell. Billy who was still in his young days and managing his first team with the Twins was drunk in a bar one night after Boswell refused to brush back a player on an opposing team. Boswell was a nice young kid and not much of a fighter. However, that night Bos (not to be mistaken for Tom Boswell, Bos, lol) talked back to Martin and in typical Billy Martin fashion, he cold cocked Boswell.
- SonnyG10 - May 6, 2012 at 8:39 PM
swami, I agree with you all the way regarding the rivalry with the O's. Especially about Angelos and about the combined broadcast. I hate that worst of all. I don't like the O's announcers, except for Jim Palmer, and I don't want to hear the announcers getting all kissy face and being overly polite regarding the other team. At least they should talk some smack like FP started to do last year. I bet they got to him to cool it.
- natsfan1a - May 6, 2012 at 8:46 PM
I'm with NatsLady, swami, NatsJack and Sonny on that team up north. Never did follow them and don't now, except when we play them (and I'm not fond of the joint broadcasts, either). NL East offers more rivalry opportunities, imo.In other news, I like both mini-Z ideas. I'm sooo conflicted now.
- NatitudeLady - May 6, 2012 at 8:50 PM
Just showed some stats in Colorado. They have the worst pitching in the NL, fewest number of innings pitched by the starters, etc., etc. So basically, Atlanta is feasting on a bad team. And they are feasting. Nicasio is coming out, and the bullpen will have to pick up four full innings, despite 6 relievers used Friday and 4 used yesterday (in lost causes).
- Soul Possession, My PFB Hitterish Sofa w/ Unholy Table - May 6, 2012 at 8:58 PM
Nat~Lady, Davey also said Gio looked like he didn't even know what city he was in, he was so lost on the bases, but that he'd better learn, because he was going to be on base a lot–he's a good hitter.
- natsfan1a - May 6, 2012 at 8:58 PM
Eh, what the heck. Get old rubber arm in there! (Sorry, folks, but I can't break the Livo habit.)

I watched the replay on Gio's slide. Wow. That was epic.
- Soul Possession, My PFB Hitterish Sofa w/ Unholy Table - May 6, 2012 at 9:01 PM
And the Red Sox have come all the way back to tie it, top of nine. I have sort of given up on the "rivalry" thing, seeing as how 1.) there ain't none, really; and b.) I'm saving my derision for teams in-division.
- natsfan1a - May 6, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Wasn't Nick the Stick known to have some clumsy slides back in the day, or am I misremembering?

- Scott from Burke - May 6, 2012 at 9:09 PM
someone needs to teach gio to slide before he gets his spikes caught and his acl/mcl goes bye bye

Yes, that would not be good.

Some women sell their bodies out of need. Some because they like the money or the independence. Angelina, the 18-year-old subject of "About Cherry," is the first I've encountered who does it out of absentmindedness and a vague narcissism. Here is a movie that suggests prostitution is something that just sort of happens to you, like Lyme disease.
Angelina (Ashley Hinshaw) is a Long Beach teenager who lives unhappily with an alcoholic mother (Lili Taylor) and works in a Laundromat, doing (ding! plot point!) other people's dirty laundry. Her boyfriend, a drummer in a rock band, suggests she can pick up a few hundred bucks by posing for nude photos. Fun fact: Boyfriends in rock bands are almost always drummers, because it's easier for them to make eye contact than the other musicians.
Angelina takes the job, loses her laundry and seems about as affected as if a friend had snapped her with an iPhone. When the boyfriend sees the photos and is disturbed, she leaves Long Beach and travels to San Francisco with her BFF Andrew (Dev Patel), who she keeps around as sort of a mascot. She pets him, feeds him and lets him sleep in her bed. Some might find this a cruel sexual temptation. I suspect Angelina is so dim-witted, she doesn't notice when she's nude, and it never occurs to her that Andrew may have a crush.
In San Francisco, we follow her up, or down, the ladder of the porn industry, as she progresses passively from nude to girl-girl to boy-girl. The money gets better. It doesn't occur to her that she has become a prostitute. She has sex with strangers for money, but protests "this is my job." A wise old man in London named Henry Togna once suggested to me that his neighbor, the Duchess of Duke Street, among her many other accomplishments, ran a bordello. "Henry!" his wife protested. "You make her sound like a madam!" His reply: "Sex for cash, m'dear. That's my definition."
Angelina, now known professionally as Cherry, begins to work with Margaret (Heather Graham), a lesbian director who takes one look at her through the viewfinder and experiences true lust. You may remember Heather Graham as Roller Girl in "Boogie Nights." It's heartening to see that she has had such professional success.
In a sex club, Angelina meets a slick-taking lawyer named Francis (James Franco), who seems sort of nice until he turns her on to cocaine. The introduction of drugs is usually a crucial turning point in such stories, driving the heroine into degradation. In Angelina's case, she seems to like cocaine well enough, but it doesn't seem to make much of an impression. Here is a girl who needs to pay more attention.
There is a subplot you'll miss if you blink. Margaret has a girlfriend of several years named Jillian (Diane Farr), who grows jealous of Angelina, throws a tantrum and walks out. This event has no emotional weight. None of the romantic liaisons convey any conviction — save perhaps poor Andrew's celibate crush on Angelina, which now drives him to masturbate while looking at her hard-core videos. She walks in on him while he's doing that, explodes in anger and screams: "You love me — just not enough to jerk off to somebody else!"
Now this is a line of dialogue that needs a profound book written about it. Would she be less jealous if he had been watching porn starring somebody else? Why? Given her line of work, shouldn't she be complimented that with all the porn out there, he chose her? Angelina seems to be disconnected from her body, her self, her work and its consequences. That's one reason "About Cherry" is such an oddly passive and distant film. If this poor sap of a girl has no other reason to sell herself, shouldn't she at least care about the money? She doesn't even seem to notice it much, except that it grows larger.
Prostitution can be a fascinating occupation, allowing personal and financial independence and the kind of entre into the lives of strangers ordinarily available only to doctors, police officers, clergymen and psychiatrists. Prostitutes have inspired some of the most unforgettable characters in fiction. As for all of its effect on Angelina, she might as well have saved herself the wear and tear and stayed in the laundry.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Time was when winter arrived and the temperatures plunged, people pulled out their long underwear and stocking caps along with their brandies and Ports.

Blogs : Stirring the Lees with James Molesworth
Posted: December 21, 2006 By James Molesworth
With the holidays here, I thought a few wishes were in order. I've been pretty good this year, so hopefully Santa is listening right now... I wish more restaurants offered free corkage once a week. If they would just pick their slowest night of the week, and then allow anyone to bring in a bottle for no charge, my guess is they would double the covers they usually get on that night.
