Jordan Zimmermann watches Jimmy Rollins round the bases on a fifth-inning homer.
Game in a nutshell: Needing to come up big to avoid only their fourth series sweep of the season, the Nationals instead dropped their fourth straight game, this one in unusual fashion. Jordan Zimmermann, who has cruised all afternoon, gave up three runs in the fifth on a double by pitcher Cliff Lee and a subsequent homer by Jimmy Rollins. Laynce Nix then homered off Tom Gorzelanny in the sixth. The Nationals tried to mount a rally, but Adam LaRoche's apparent two-run homer in the seventh was correctly ruled a double, leading to a bizarre play in which LaRoche was tagged out. The lineup then went silent against the Phillies bullpen, resulting in a stunning series sweep at Citizens Bank Park. The Nationals' lead in the NL East (which stood at 7 on Wednesday) is now down to 5 with the Braves still playing tonight in San Francisco.
Hitting lowlight: Stifled all afternoon by Lee, the Nationals finally appeared to deliver a big blow against the veteran left-hander whenRead more »

That makes 4 incredibly poorly played and managed games in a row. Maybe if Desmond deigns to play again this season, it might help a little, but basically, you cannot count on this team hitting, ever.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:23 PM
Haha..They're always recruiting…but that's a club that may never let you leave!! What will you do if the Nats win a few games? Lol

- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:28 PM
The Nats have played poorly, and deserve to be criticized…The Legion of Doom is the dopes who ONLY show up when the Nats lose, and are never around during the winning streaks….Of course, when the team loses 4 in a row, it's fair to point out the problems
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:28 PM
The good: Drew Storen and Tyler Moore–and Roger Bernadina! The bad: OK four game losing streak. Stay safe, boys. Get some rest.

Ah, I see fans are beginning to notice what I've noticed and said all year….WE NEED BATS!
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:31 PM
No, the bad is that the Nationals played sloppy, mentally deficient baseball.How many years has Adam LaRoche been playing baseball? He should give today's salary to charity. That might be the stupidest play that I have ever seen in my life. Bonehead Merkle, where are you?
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:32 PM
There you go…right on cue!Please name a team that does NOT need bats…did you also invent the saying that "good pitching beats good hitting"?
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:35 PM
Eagle, absolutely. JZ completely lost focus. Whether it was the passed ball or the double to Lee, he just lost it. That CAN'T happen. Nor can brain cramps by two veterans (even though it didn't cost the game). They will fix that, you can BET money on it.It should not depend on an umpire, period.As mick said, they should have a team meeting. Flo should "apologize" for the passed ball–and for not hitting any better than Suzuki. Werth and ALR should say, "it won't happen again." Pat the rookies on the behind and go from here.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:35 PM
Hope Lincicom pitches well tonight however Hudson probably will do it instead. Cliff Lee no wins since last Sept at home. Three wins all season 2 against Nats. WOW !!!!

Hey swift I am a proud member of doom. I havent missed a game yet this season. Don't worry I'll be there. Sunshine we got room for you.. We only need 4 more wins to improve over last year. Then all the non dormers can have a parade for a winning season at 82 and 80'. Go nats
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:40 PM
I don't think anyone has a problem with losing three straight on the road to a team with a good pitching staff, as long as the Nationals play heads up, inspired baseball. Sometimes, the balls just don't drop in.But that is not what happened in these three games. The Nats looked flat and made several bad mental errors.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:41 PM
And who doesn't need bats?It seems the amateur trolls are out. Can anyone show me a team that hasn't lost at least 4 in a row?
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:41 PM
But that is not what happened in these three games. The Nats looked flat and made several bad mental errors.That is true. And as calm and reasonable as Davey seems in pressers, you can bet he won't let that pass. Davey is in it to win it.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:43 PM
Good for you! Imagine how much fun (doom) you would have if the Nats didn't have the best record in baseball…Lol. Exactly why do you follow a team everyday if you're hoping they fail?
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:45 PM
The 1975 Reds lost six in a row once, and four in a row twice, winning 108 overall.
- Fear and Ignorance - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:45 PM
This team has been good because so many different guys have come through at key moments to complement the pitching staff. This time of the year is for the veterans like Zimmerman, LaRoche and Werth to step up and carry this team offensively. They are failing miserably. Werth and Zimmerman have a combined 1 HR in August and LaRoche hasn't hit one in 65 AB's and looks awful right now. These 3 guys will determine the fate of this season. The young guys have done their part, it is up to the big money guys to earn their paychecks!!!
- Secret wasian man - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Mick says veteran leadership needs to step up. Mick I agree. Unfortunately the vets are what let us down the last 4. We will beat Miami. All is well.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:47 PM
I'm a little suprised we haven't received an update on all the September call ups today. Maybe it's because their least favorite lefty threw a 3 hit gem of a shut out last night. Great job John Lannan.
- Secret wasian man - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:52 PM
Complaining about a team doesn't mean you hope they fail. I want to win more then anything. I Am not an "I told you so guy"'. You guys think if it's not all positive we hate the team. Not so. Just frustrated. We have the doom group. I thinks it's time for the "Rose colored glasses group"
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:55 PM
A few observations: 1) The difference between a veteran pitcher and Jordan Zim is the ability to limit the damage. After the Lee double Cat should have come out to calm him down. 2) Flores is not in Suzuki's class catching wise. 3) This was a classic trap series playing against a veteran team which has nothing to play for other than spoiling, with great pitchers who were on their game for a change. 4) ALR finally had 2 straight solid at bats; watch out he is due for another hot streak. 5) Zim alternates looking great and lost from game to game. 6) Werth tried too hard in Philly.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:56 PM
I'm not saying we should be "all positive"…the team has played poorly recently, and needs to do betterWhat I'm saying is that you and your crew are All Negative…Go ahead, try it, say something good about the Nats…if you can't, then you're not a fan
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:58 PM
but that's a club that may never let you leave!!That's the Hotel California. Phillies pitching dominated. They still do have excellent pitching even after losing Roy Oswalt et al. And they're playing the Nats like every series is the playoffs. It behooves the Nats veterans (Especially Jayson Werth who swore he would avenge himself?) to play better.Right now the baby Nats are looking like they might develop into something a lot better than veterans like Werth, LaRoche and even Zimmerman and his shoulder have shown. Can't wait to see Rendon.
- djinFl. - Aug 26, 2012 at 8:59 PM
Lets see, it was all over when we were swept by the Dodgers. Then the season really collapsed with that sweep by the Yankees. Now look where are…Best record in baseball, First place in the division. Bet about 15 other cities would trade us their team for ours without a bat of the eye. Good news for doomers and gloomers..Skins and Terps seasons start soon and their play will match up well with your attitudes.
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Zim alternates looking great and lost from game to game.That's his shoulder … it limits his ability to get extension especially on outside pitches and opposing pitchers know it. If he has surgery this offseason they would be wise to think seriously about moving him to first base where, hopefully, he will be less exposed to injury risk. And based on the last Rizzo call-in show where that question was specifically, directly and painfully asked, and listening to him tap dance to the music … its probably "the plan" at this point in time.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Just be happy the Nats don't have the Japanese Little League team on the schedule!..Yikes
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:02 PM
JD, good observations, especially the last one. Cat should have come out, Desi would have come out, Flo should have come out. I would bet that JZ is the type who doesn't like the pitching coach or catcher to come out and "give him support." He needs to get past that, everyone needs support. JFlo needed to come out after the passed ball and say, "my bad, don't worry, we got this." I think the team will do better. If you thought the Nats were going to waltz into 100 wins after only 80 last year, think again. It is going to be a fight–but we got all hands on board, especially Moore, Lombo and Bernie–and Bryce with that great catch. Give them a chance to "express their talent" as Davey says.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:03 PM
dj…..with the Skins and Terps starting and Wizards training camp about 5 weeks away there will be not be enough cyber space available to the doom and gloomers with most of it justified.

- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Werth definitely tried too hard in Philly, just like he did last year. He needs to just play HIS OWN GAME. Werth a nice guy, trust me. Have a student who goes to school with his kids, he is a GOOD GUY.
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:09 PM
How you doing, NJ? Watching Isaac from afar. Stay safe.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:11 PM
NL BTW, That's another thing I like about Suzuki. He knows when to slow a game down. No question he would have gone out to talk to JZim after the Lee hit and absolutely after he fell behind on Rollins. The game was still very winnable at 1-0 and the Werth ALR play was also very significant. If they don't mess it up it's 4-2 (after the Moore double) with a man on second and no one out. You never know where it goes from there.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:13 PM
All in all it shouldn't be a big deal. We still have the Braves by 5 games with a big 11 game home stand coming.
- ehay2k - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:14 PM
Mark Z. Was that you asking Davey about the Nats "taking their foot off the gas pedal" in his post-game presser? He did not seem to be pleased.

tRATRA assigns run and out values to all events under a pitcher's control using changes in run expectancy. Using those, an expected number of runs allowed and outs is generated in a defense and park neutral environment. tRA is on a R/9 scale. PRAAPitcher-only runs above average. The difference between this and RAA is that RAA is really a total defense statistic, and PRAA tries to isolate the pitching component from the fielding portion. It relies on the pitching/fielding breakdown being run for the team, league, and individual. The individual pitching + defense total is compared to a league average pitcher + team average defense, and the difference is win-adjusted.Source: baseball prospectus.Looking at Lannan's season in Syracuse.John Lannan at AAA Syracuse5.49 tRA -13.1 [p]RAALooking at power pitcher Ryan Perry's in Harrisburg:Ryan Perry 3.72 tRA +6.6 [p]RAAI am still hoping the Nats decide to start and evaluate Perryin September.

It is going to be a fight–but we got all hands on board, especially Moore, Lombo and Bernie–and Bryce with that great catch. Give them a chance to "express their talent" as Davey says.Yes, indeed. I think Davey double-switched the wrong player out. I would have removed Werth and LaRoche for lack of hustle that was definitely a mental miscue that they should know better than to do. Especially on a team with Bryce Harper … and now I just hope Werth et al don't corrupt the kid with ideas about coasting and taking it easy to save energy or whatever.

That makes 4 incredibly poorly played and managed games in a row. Maybe if Desmond deigns to play again this season, it might help a little, but basically, you cannot count on this team hitting, ever.In two years when the young guns mature I'll remind you about that.

peric, your Werth bashing just never ends does it? just what did he do wrong on that play? it was LaRoche that feel asleep, the ball was in play and thrown in to home. Werth picked that up and stayed at third. I doubt that anyone with a reasonable perspective feel that he's a bad influence on Harper.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:46 PM
"You never take anything for granted, etc…"Yeah. And don't forget Zim's "blasé" (Mark's characterization) remarks yesterday, when the losing streak was only 3 games. Werth played for years in RF and should have known the ground rule better than anyone else on the Nats. You often see players stop at 2nd base waiting for an umpire to make a ruling on a fly ball hit like that, but ALR neither looked at the umpire nor waited for a call.If the vets had played like the kids, this may have been a different series.JZ's recent problems are worrisome. Last year, he seemed to hit the wall at about 80 pitches – first year back from TJ surgery contributed to that, no doubt. Earlier this year, 6 or 7 innings from him were a given, virtually every time out. Recently, he seems to hit a wall at about 80 pitches, again. He has never pitched so many innings in one season as he has this year, and his shoulder has been barking.JZ may be reaching a physical limit on what he can do, as young as he still is, and trying to complete his first full season after major surgery.The Nats should realize that this losing streak, at this time, is no laughing matter. They are very fortunate that the Braves have chosen the same time to take a nosedive of their own. This is where Davey must bring them back to reality.I don't think losing Morse was much of a blow to the offense. TyMo went 3 for 5 with a HR and 2 doubles, and the Shark was almost unstoppable. Desi was missed, though, as Lombo came back to Earth after a torrid streak that was unsustainable.Werth was pressing. He has not looked this bad all year.Take it out on the Fish. We owe them one, or two, or three, at least.

The Dodgers-Marlins-Phillies-Red Sox (soon to be known as "Stan's Used Car Lot) has Beandon League warming up, he of the 7.36 era.Good teams don't bring in relievers with 7.36 era's if you are a serious contender.

Wow…League actually lowered his era but didn't help his whip.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 9:59 PM
The bad play was 100% on ALR. Werth had to hold at 2nd to make sure the ball wasn't caught. ALR has to see that the player in from of him is stopped at 3rd. if it's a HR he has plenty of time to jog home.
- Eugene in Oregon - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:00 PM
Sunshine @ 5:34 (praising NatJack's multiple points): Concur.alexva @ 5:40: I'll defend peric on this one: Jayson Werth — who played RF in Philadelphia and should know the ground rules there as well as anyone — should have been running hard from the moment he (or the third base coach) noted that the ball had bounced back into play. And if he had been running hard, Adam LaRoche would likely have done the same. Is it an unforgivable error? Of course not. And some of the responsibility probably rests with Bo Porter. But that play — if Mr. Werth had scored and Mr. LaRoche had ended up on second — would have changed the complexion of the game. But that's speculation.To be clear, I'm not going 'doom and gloom'; as I wrote yesterday, the Nats are going to lose at least 14 or 15 more games, and losing a few of those in Philadelphia to two superb pitchers (plus one decent one) isn't reason to panic. The team has come back before and I'm convinced they'll do so again. In the meantime, one key is to keep rooting for whomever the Braves are playing, which I'll be doing shortly.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:05 PM
Man…I just realized the Nats are now only 27 games over .500. Definitely time to panic.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:08 PM
I just saw the play again and I take my comment back. Werth should have scored easily from 2nd regardless.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:09 PM
NJ Not panicking just making observations. The Nats are not likely to collapse but there are areas of concern to be sure.
- JD - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:16 PM
I agree with Laddie 100% about keeping politics out of this blog.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:21 PM
JD said… I just saw the play again and I take my comment back. Werth should have scored easily from 2nd regardless. August 26, 2012 6:08 PM _______________________________________Yes, there was no reason for Werth to be at 3rd…if he thought the ball was going to be caught, he'd have been at 2nd.When you're on 2nd with less than 2 outs, a ball in the air to the outfield means you tag or you score…no scenario should have you at 3rd..I think ALR was shocked that it wasn't a HR, and then stunned to see Werth at 3rd…

ALR didn't do anything wrong. The only reason he was called out was b/c he and Werth were at 3rd at the same time…He ran from home to 3rd before the throw arrived, that's as fast as he can go…

Politics? I thought that was a weather/religion comment. God sure hates someone because he's clearly sending a hurricane to wash 'em away!OK, enough of this silliness. Nats have to regroup and play well in Miami. Stras seems to pitch well there, but hitting is another matter in that abomination of a ballpark. Maybe we should think about slapping the ball around, instead of trying to hit it farther than it can go?GYFNG!
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:33 PM
You're right Mick, and only those on the field know that…What I'm saying is, there is NO reason for Werth to be on 3rd base, no matter what the call was…he just screwed up, it happens

- ehay2k - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:36 PM

- mick - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:39 PM
ehay2k… I think Swift is right, Werth should have run home period… but I really think one ump said HR and the other said in play and that caused the confusion. Regardless, Werth should have hauled ass home and then wait for the official call, whatever that was?

ALR had time to run from home to 3rd w/out being tagged out..Werth must have been at least near home plate, then for some reason, returned to 3rd…Why he thought he would be "out" at home, but "safe" at 3rd I do not know….
- NatsFanJim - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:42 PM
Flat Flat Flat — Seems to me that all season we have all been amazed at how well the Nats have been doing; every series was bigger and more important than the last. The team felt the same way getting psyched up for every season as if they had to prove something.Now comes the transition phase, where a team has accepted how good they are and believe it too — and now are faced with perhaps the First Series all year that didn't excite them. And the Nats went flat.Simply, now the Nats have to learn to win and get up for games not out of emotion, but simply out of a professional will to Win.But have no fear. Nobody, but nobody probably understands this nuanced transition phase better than Davey Johnson. He knows exactly how to handle it. For example, I liked what he said describing La Roche homerun trot gaffe. Davey said "that's a loser attitude" that he showed there.Cool, Davey is on it. This will be very interesting to watch.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 10:45 PM

Mark's Twitter: Davey and Rizzo had an animated talk behind closed door but Nats did not hold team meeting after fourth straight loss.______________________________1) Flores passed ball to break up JZim's rhythm in a scoreless game2) Next batter is Cliff Lee. Bryce Harper playing Cliff Lee like a chump with a man on 2nd. Would he have been playing back further if the runner was on 1st?3) Before you know it, JZim melts down. Like mentioned, goes back to the passed ball and Harper playing shallow4) Werth not running and LaRoche trotting like a HR costs the Nats an all important out and most likely another run and a big inning.Its been a week of walking pitchers, walking leadoff batters, poor baserunning (Espi), and much too many swing & misses by Nats hitters.

Rizzo absolutely hates losing to the Phillies as he has stated on numerous occasions. Today he might have felt just a bit more like some Nats fans on this blog.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:05 PM
Ladson reported the quote.
- djinFl. - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:07 PM
Peric, it is being reported by Ladson.
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:09 PM
The guy who actually decided to report some of what was said per NatsJack as if we couldn't guess? The man whose source reported that Jesus Flores was focusing too much on offense and not enough on catching. Same guy who asserts that Bernadina can't be "the Shark" because he doesn't hit like Pujols. That would be Bill "the Rocket" Ladson. "The Rocket" is becoming a bit of a Natstown Cryer methinks … ~laughing~
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:10 PM
I just wanted to be sure NatsJack did not get the individuals listed in any sort of hot water with Nats management. I am certain they know all about Bill …
- JaneB - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:10 PM
Wow. I know they want to win. I know we WANT them to win. But it's kind of heart breaking that there is shouting going on. I hope it was all for show. We lost four games in a row, but the Braves only gained one on us. That isn't horrible. I hate losing to the Phillies, absolutely. But the bats will pick up again, and things will be good. These guys have had some bad days but they are GOOD PLAYERS. Dunno why there is a lackadaisical attitude these days, but I'm betting that will change in post-hurricane Miami. GYFNG.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:13 PM
Too late… I think they're all losing their jobs.
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:15 PM
I hope it was all for show. As I said above (and one of the things I liked best about Mike Rizzo) he positively absolutely hates losing to the Phillies. So, you can imagine he was a bit more emotional given the sweep. One thing seems certain, Rizzo is going to remember this series and what transpired. Because he wants to have the kind of record against the Phils that the Nats have against the Braves this season.If asked surely Davey will address it. Let's see if Bill has the courage to ask Davey about it on Tuesday … ~smiles~
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:15 PM
Ladson's "report" on Twitter says Davey "may" have said that to Rizzo…pretty sketchy…I bet every manager says that at some point…
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:17 PM
Too late… I think they're all losing their jobs.Worse than that might be losing any sort of trusted access they might or not have with upper echelon Nats brass in the FO.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:17 PM
And back to my original point,….Still should make for some interesting reading tomorrow.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:19 PM
Derek… Ladson's tweet says Davey "was heard yelling".
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:20 PM
it's too bad we still have search for info when this type of thing happensLocal TV would break into programming if Bruce Allen and Shanahan had an argument about yellow pants…Is it too much to ask for someone to write an actual story? In Boston and NY everything gets covered twice
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:22 PM
Nothing was worse than the sweep early in the season to the Dodgers.Nats needed to reignite the fire. As I said and still believe, horrible timing doing an early morning golf outing on Thursday before the road trip.
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:22 PM
Rizzo probably wouldn't have been a bit wiser to wait until the next day to talk to Davey about the game and the series. Both men were probably fairly emotional about the loss. And as a manager Davey is supposed to act as a "buffer" between the players and the FO. Its not quite like Danny SnidelyOwl leaving Norv Turner waiting in a cold access tunnel for 2 hours before firing him.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:23 PM
Jack, Ladson says Davey was yelling at "someone" then says Davey "never said who he was talking to"…That's a pretty weak effort by a reporter..
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:24 PM
Ladson also says Bryce threw a temper tantrum "destroying batting helmets in the runway" after being removed in the double switch.
- djinFl. - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Bet Mark Lerner is wearing out some concrete at Nats Park waiting for the bus to get to town.

I was at Bad Citizens on Friday to see the boys. They were flat against Kendrick. Zim just didn't look himelf. Didn't help that Morse was smacked on his hand and lost for the whole series after his first at-bat. Add to that no Desi.
- peric - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:40 PM
Ladson also says Bryce threw a temper tantrum "destroying batting helmets in the runway" after being removed in the double switch.Davey reported this in his post-gamer:I got the impression it was before the double-switch? … he was angry about his performances at the plate and he needed Randy Knorr to tell him he was double-switching him out because, according to Davey, he needed to get another batter in before they closed out. Apparently Knorr was afraid to go back there and Davey had to coax him …

- SonnyG10 - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:52 PM
Davie did say in his postgame thingy that Bryce threw helments in the runway. He said I don't care if you're Babe Ruth, I needed to double switch there.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 27, 2012 at 12:20 AM
I don't know about ladson, but I heard Davey in his press conference say that harper was throwing a fit in the tunnel destroying helmets. Davey: "And I told Randy, 'go on down there and do something with him.'"Harper has to sit — and for a good while. Tantrums, agruing with umpires — again and again — not to mention he can't hit lefties and his fielding is good, but his decisions on paths to balls and bases to throw are little league.Please, limit Harper's playing time to lefties — and Please, Davey and Nat's vets: Chew his out out!!

It spreads lawn material outward in a circular motion up to 12 feet in diameter, distributing resources over a greater coverage area than spreading by hand. Lawns and gardens will grow thick and lush when seed and fertilizer are applied properly, and root development will be strong and deep with fewer plants competing for the same amount of sunlight, nutrients and water.
The Craftsman universal spreader has a polyethylene hopper that resists rust and corrosion, as well as a heavy-duty steel tubular frame capable of supporting up to 100 pounds. Rubber turf tread wheels roll smoothly over lawns and bumpy terrain. The black spreader carries the Craftsman name. Its solid construction and consistent performance are backed by a 1-year warranty.

purchased first spreader and parts were missing , returned and picked up another one and the axel was bent and would not roll, returned and picked up another one and the axel was bent on this one and wheels would not roll. after three spreaders i gave up and went to ***** and got one that worked. quality control on this item is terrible.made six trips to sears and the frustation of returning and purchasing each item was a terrible experience. other purchases from sears have been very good but this one was awful.

My front lawn is 7000 sq.ft. the walk behind spreader I used would take me almost an hour to spread the fertilizers. Now I hook up the tow behind spreader to the tractor and in half the time I have the fertilizer spread. The unit is very easy to assemble and the discharge control works great ,easy to reach and stays where you lock it in. I plan on using it to spread grass seed this fall . Very happy with the spreader.

Spreader was easy to assemble. Bin holds 100 pounds of material. Fertilizer is spread out in an 8-10 foot path behind tractor. This allows for fewer passes through the yard.

I found the spreader easy to assemble and equally easy to adjust using the included instruction manual. The only thing I would change for production is a deflector for the front to keep the spreading product off my tractor during use in addition to a longer control lever. I fabricated these two items for my spreader making it much better.

This broadcast spreader attachment was very easy to assemble, with just the right number of parts and great instructions. With only a few common tools you can build it into a solid Craftsman product. It took a little getting used to with regard to turning it on and off for spreading and for setting the right amount of fertilizer. But once you figure that out, it's a breeze to use.

It can be a bit finicky to adjust the spread rate, but it made short work of what was once a much longer task. I am sure glad I have mine!

If you know a thing or two about racquet specs, you'd think a racquet like the Wilson KTour wouldn't appeal to advanced players.
For one, it's too light at only 10.6 ounces strung. Another reason is the balance is all wrong. Player's racquets are supposed to be head light, right? Ever since the days of wood racquets, advanced players have gravitated toward racquets with a strung weight upward of 12 ounces with a head-light balance.
The Tour racquet from Wilson, now in its fifth iteration, has continually bucked this trend. From its Hammer 5.2 roots through H Tour and nTour versions, the Tour has stayed true to form and remained light-er weight with an even balance.
Since its inception, folks have been claiming it wasn't really a Hammer racquet, as it wasn't head heavy enough. Many won't see the KTour as a player's racquet, either.
So what is the KTour?
The simple answer? A very solid racquet.
We caught up with big-hitting Lindsay Davenport at the 2008 Pacific Life Open. Having used all the various Tour racquets, she explained that the Tour racquets enabled her to still find consistency -- even when unloading on powerful groundstrokes. Davenport video interview.
To find out if we could find that same Davenport-like balance of power and control, we strung several KTours with Wilson NXT 17 string at 57 lbs and hit the courts.
With the assets of control, maneuverability, spin and power, our team was impressed from the baseline with the KTour. Enjoying the versatility of the racquet was Danny. "Of the last three versions of this racquet, the Wilson KTour is my favorite. I found this racquet to have a really crisp feel from the baseline. When I say crisp, I mean firm. Generally, a firmer feel is something I stay away from, but this racquet worked out well for me. There wasn't much that I couldn't do from the baseline with this racquet. I could play just as well with the KTour as I could with any racquet. My variety of shots was something that stood out with the KTour. I was able to not only get good topspin with this racquet, but I was able to consistently flatten the ball out without making an error. I think the lighter weight was a factor as to why I was able to vary my shots so well. Testing this racquet made me think twice about the type of racquet that is good for me. Generally, I think a 12 ounce frame is good for my game, but after testing this 10.6 ounce racquet (strung), it is making me think twice. The last comment I want to add pertains to my backhand slice. It was noticeably better with this racquet than other racquets I've tested."
Spencer was impressed with the depth of his groundstrokes. "I was very comfortable hitting from the baseline with this racquet. The first thing I noticed was the solid feel. I love that. Being a fan of the nTour Two, it's no surprise I liked the KTour as well. Off both wings I was able to hit deep, penetrating shots without overswinging. I liked the stability for a lighter weight racquet, while the maneuverability was fantastic. Having hit with a couple of different string set-ups with its open 16/20 string pattern, I preferred a polyester string, as it added even more spin and control, helping keep balls from floating long."
Feeling he could swing aggressively with this racquet was Chris. "I liked the response of this racquet off the ground. I found ample power and the response was very comfortable. I was impressed with the amount of spin I was finding on my shots and felt confident swinging aggressively. While I prefer heavier, head light racquets, the lighter weight and even balance felt pretty good. This racquet definitely felt stable; considerably so considering its weight. I've hit with all versions of the Tour, including the Hammer 5.2, and this one definitely felt the most solid to me."
Tiffani liked the amount of spin she was finding. "This racquet produced some nice spin for me, but it didn't necessarily help me hit a 'heavy' ball. Because it's light, I was able to swing quickly through the ball and get plenty of topspin. I play fairly flat, but I've been working on using more spin in my game. The KTour made that easy. I also enjoyed slicing with this one. However, I found this frame difficult to control depth wise with the multifilament string we usually use for playtests. It was just too lively. I felt like I had to hold back to keep the ball in play. Put in a poly and it's a different story. I was much happier with the performance from the baseline because the poly gave me the control I seek." Ryan RS was enamored with the control from the baseline. "Right away I noticed that control was exceptional. This is the standout feature of the racquet. I was able to direct the ball on forehands and backhands with ease. A dampener in the stringbed kept the feedback very minimal, and it was quite a comfortable racquet even without one. Despite having almost identical specs, it felt a little more comfortable than its predecessor, the nTour Two. Even though it is definitely a control-oriented racquet, when I had time to set up properly the KTour delivered plenty of power. Slices came off the stringbed well and were extremely effective with the amount of backspin the racquet produced. The sweetspot felt about average size for a 95 square inch head."
An easy racquet to wield because of its weight, our team was pleased with the KTour when volleying. Tiffani felt much more confident at net. "I usually prefer a racquet from the baseline, but I found myself liking this one at net. I was pleased with the punch available from the stringbed and found the racquet plenty maneuverable. I wasn't bothered at all by the extra quarter inch. I used to play with a 27.5 inch racquet, and one of the reasons I moved on from it was its lack of maneuverability. I didn't find that with the KTour." Impressed by the weight and balance was Chris. "I was finding lots of pop at net with this stick. It felt easy to get around, and I enjoyed the maneuverability when forced to flick a pick-up volley or make a quick stab. The racquet never felt unstable, and I was again impressed by how the weight and balance of this stick came together." Spencer was more aggressive than normal when at net. "I really enjoyed my success and prowess at net with the KTour. Once again, the mobility of the racquet was outstanding, and with the pop this stick offered, put-a-ways were a cinch. With the confidence this racquet provided, I found myself being very aggressive at net, which is not the norm for me."
Ryan RS felt the mobility of the racquet made it shine at net. "The racquet is very maneuverable at net despite its slightly extended length. However, I felt that volleys lacked 'pop'. It was easy to slice under the ball to keep shots low, but required extra work to keep volleys deep in the court. Directing volleys was fairly easy, although it was tough to consistently counter heavy shots at net." Enjoying the light weight and feel was Danny. "Crisp, solid and consistent is how I would describe this racquet at net. The lighter weight might have been a factor as to why I liked the racquet when volleying, but I found the racquet to have great maneuverability and feel. I'm not sure if it was the racquet or maybe a new type of volleying technique, but I was able to knife my volleys with great consistency with this racquet."
Spin and power seemed to be the defining features of the KTour with our playtest squad when serving. Thrilled with the combination of power and control was Spencer. "The KTour provided a nice combination of spin, control and power. I liked the depth and kick I could get, and when trying to heat one up down the T, the power was there. I was very comfortable when serving with this bat."
Ryan RS felt the extra length provided more pop. "The extra quarter inch helps with leverage and reach. Spin was fairly easy to impart, and I didn't feel like the racquet lacked anything in this category. A slightly more head light balance might have added some speed to the serves." Having great success with his first serve was Danny. "My first serve was noticeably better than my second serve with this racquet. I was surprised how consistent my first serve was. I could hit a consistent flat serve with this racquet and achieve more pop on my serve than I could with most racquets that I've tested. The downfall was my second serve. I had a hard time finding a consistent second serve. I couldn't put a finger on why I was having troubles with my second serve."
Enjoying lots of spin when serving was Chris. "I was able to serve with decent pace and get some nice action on the ball with the KTour. I wasn't finding my usual pace and weight on shots, but was able to get some decent pop out of the racquet. I found it easy to whip the racquet through the contact zone, so access to spin was solid." Tiffani felt the KTour helped her velocity on serve. "Serves were adequate for me. There was nice access to some power. During this playtest I was coming off an arm injury so I hadn't been serving for a while. This was a good racquet for me to practice the service motion because it was maneuverable. I injured my tossing arm, but it was good for my confidence to be able to swing fairly easily and still get some good pop on my serves."
Having several different options when returning made the KTour effective for returning serves. Chris found the maneuverability and stability to be impressive. "As with groundstrokes and volleys, I was impressed by the combination of maneuverability and stability from the KTour. I felt like I could take a good rip at returns with this stick without taking a huge risk. The racquet felt comfortable and there was a decent amount of control to be had. When punching or blocking the ball back, the racquet felt solid and stable." Feeling more confident with defensive returns was Spencer."The combination of pop and maneuverability made this a nice racquet for returning serves defensively. Being able to get the stringbed on the ball and blocking back serves deep into the opponent's court kept me in more points. On medium to slower paced serves I could take a good cut, but I tended to miss more, as I had slight timing issues with the lighter weight of this racquet."
Danny liked the versatility the KTour provided when returning. "I find any racquet that I like from the baseline will be a good racquet for my service returns. This racquet allowed me to vary my service returns. If I needed to spin my returns in I could. If I wanted to flatten the ball out, I could do that as well."
Liking the mobility and length was Ryan RS. "It was easy to get racquet head speed because of the maneuverability, but the racquet can become a little unstable if facing a big server. The extra quarter inch helped considerably when stretched out wide."
Tiffani was partial to polyester string on returns. "As with groundstrokes, I struggled with controlling the depth of my shots when it was strung with a multifilament. I played a doubles match with it, and it was a struggle to get into points. As with groundstrokes, I found the poly a better setup for me. It was like playing with a different racquet. The result with poly was balls deep into the court rather than deep behind the baseline."
Having a very similar feel to the nTour Two, the Wilson KTour offered a nice blend of maneuverability and power, with a solid feel. Our team was impressed with the amount of spin and control the KTour offered from all areas of the court. Though the weight of the racquet was light, with a close to even balance, the KTour still allowed our testers to be successful with aggressive shots, while the open string pattern helped with spin production. We found the KTour to be very versatile from all areas of the court and a good option for a wide level of players.
Chris "I liked the combination of maneuverability and stability. I was also impressed by the level of comfort I found from all areas of the court."
Spencer "In stock form the KTour is very easy to hit with. The fact that it is lighter in weight makes it easy to modify to desired specs."
Danny "One key point of this racquet was the ability to flatten out the ball with some sort of consistency. This was something that I not only experienced from the baseline, but also at net and on my serves."
Ryan RS "The 16x20 pattern makes for great control without noticeably sacrificing anything. As a previous user of the nTour and nTour Two, I was happy with this upgrade. Nothing was lost, and a bit of comfort and feel were added. No fan of those popular models will be disappointed. The frame is also a good base for customizing with some lead weight. I recently switched to this racquet and had it customized to 12 ounces with a 6 point head light balance. I feel it became a great player's frame. The cosmetics are cool, too."
Chris "I had to work harder to find the pace and weight of shot I get from my regular stick."
Spencer "In stock form, the weight and balance."
Danny "I didn't like this racquet for my second serve. My second serve was noticeably inconsistent. This is something that I normally don't have a problem with."
Ryan RS "Since I am used to playing with heavier racquets, the main problem I had with this racquet was its weight. Against harder hitting opponents I didn't always feel in control of the pace, and off-center hits weren't terribly forgiving."

"The most important aspect of dancing to me," Laura says "is the ability to reach out for your partner and let them know everything that is going on inside of you and making sure that you pick up on everything that is going on inside of him.

Instructor Bio
Mike Roberts has been teaching since 2001 and has been dancing Lindy Hop and associated dances including Balboa, Charleston, Shag, and East Coast Swing since 2000. A great deal of Mike's success can be attributed to his vivid imagination. He admits to pretending he's a superhero like Colossus or Spiderman before he lifts weights (or his partner). It really helps your ability to keep up with a 250 bpm song if you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. He believes that the most important thing in dancing is listening to your partner and having fun. No matter how much technique you have, if you're not having fun with it, there's no point.www.mikeandlauralindy.com

Here's how RW members rated this race (143 votes).
In short: Few hills , nice downhill finish . Date of review: January 12, 2015
In short: Good venue, good solid course.In full: Got a new pb (1.42) but it was tough going . One of those that seemed to have lots of long up hill sections without the downhills. :-)I personally found it a hard slog , particularly the second half . Mind the blustery conditions didn't help. Nothing is posted out so you have to collect number/ chip ect on arrival . No big deal really and the cadets worked hard helping with parking and handing out numbers and tags. Fairly low key so not masses of spectators , but those that were out and about were generous with their support. You get free energy gels and t shirt for your efforts too. I would absolutely do this avent again , although it'll probably take me 12 months for my legs to recover ! Date of review: May 11, 2014
In short: Great race all roundIn full: Another great race - organisation gets better every year. Good to see energy gels given out for free, and a good quality tech shirt. Parking well marshalled, as was the course and drinks stations. Bottles would have been better than cups, but no matter. Love this course, and will definitely be back. Date of review: May 21, 2013
In short: Very well organised and a nice, scenic courseIn full: Really well organised and pretty good value compared to most half marathons. Not many races where you get a good quality "technical" running shirt, free energy gels and energy drinks at the finish and at some drink stations along the course. I was expecting a bit of chaos with everyone collecting their number and chip on the day but it was really well organised. Excellent job by Full Boar Events and all the volunteers. The course was hillier and tougher than I remembered but I think I'm just getting older! The "Gated Road" climb up to Market Bosworth seemed to go on forever!Date of review: May 14, 2013
In short: Great run, very pretty, well organised, sometimes a bit hilly but still a PB for me! Will be back!Date of review: May 12, 2013
In short: Superb organisation and thanks to the Cadets for all their hard workDate of review: May 12, 2013
In short: Just perfect!In full: This was the 10th different half marathon I have done and it's easily the best. Lovely course with 360° horizons, the right ammount of 'undulation' with the climbs in the right place, friendly enthusiastic marshalls, excellent start/finish area. Slight niggle - no medal, but I'll forgive them that.Date of review: May 12, 2013
In short: fair but not flatIn full: Nice race, great setting for the start. Hillier than I expected. Little niggle, cups are a pain in long runs. The finish was a little odd. Nice shirt.May be back.Date of review: May 12, 2013
In short: Great event, In full: This is a great half marathon course, hilly enough to bereak up the run. The organisation was great, parking are we're well marshalled and the support on the course was great. Date of review: May 12, 2013
In full: Good course,with a hill from about 9 to 11 miles that i didn't really notice until i realised i was tiring and slowing. It crept up on you! Thankfully the last 2 miles were downhill so i was able to pull myself together for the final push. Well marshalled and organised though if the weather had been like 2 weeks previous the car park[an uncut grass field] would have been impossible to use[organisers are you listening?].Nice looking t shirt as well. A good day. Date of review: May 15, 2012

Bochy said Cain will use Andrews as a second opinion on his ailing right elbow, then probably seek a third opinion before deciding whether surgery is the best course of action in his attempt to pitch pain-free again.
Cain hasn't started a game since July 9. He has been diagnosed as having bone chips in his elbow, an ailment that wouldn't necessarily require surgery.
The veteran is on the disabled list -- his third trip this season for three different problems -- and, according to Giants general manager Brian Sabean, is no sure-thing to pitch again this year. Sabean disclosed as much when he announced the acquisition of right-handed starter Jake Peavy last week.
Bochy said Cain, who is 2-7 this season with a 4.18 ERA, would rejoin the Giants in New York at the end of this week. It's possible that is where Cain will get his third opinion.

Daniel Rains, 21, was arrested Saturday along with his father William Rains, 45. / Photo provided by the Johnson County Sheriff's Department
FRANKLIN, Ind. - A father and son from Shelbyville landed in jail Saturday night, after a day of golfing and drinking at a Johnson County golf course turned violent, according to police.
William Rains, 45, and his son, Daniel Rains, 21, were both preliminarily charged with battery in the incident at Cypress Run Golf Course on Ind. 44, about four miles east of Franklin, according to a release issued by the Johnson County Sheriff's Department.
Officers from the department were called to the golf course shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday on a report of a disturbance in the parking lot.
Police found Daniel Rains with "marks on his face and back." He told investigators his father attacked him because he would not tell a friend who was with them to shut up, according to a police report.
Daniel Rains told police "he took a defensive position and was taken to the ground" by his father, who allegedly bit him on the lip during the scuffle, he said.
William Rains also had "obvious fight-related scratches and marks on him," the report said. He told police he "lost it," when his son tackled him.
The sheriff's report said "William was obviously intoxicated and even admitted to drinking all day during this golf outing."
Both men refused offers of medical treatment, the report said. William and Daniel Rains, who live in the same household, according to the police report, were transported to the Johnson County Jail.
Tim Evans writes for The Indianapolis Star.

These are good blinds for insulation. They are not especially dark when closed, but I can feel the temperature difference having done 4 windows with these style blinds.
I ordered these (a different size and color) for another room in my house about 2 years ago. I liked the quality back then, which is why I bought the same brand again. They are an excellent value and I would recommend them.
these cordless honeycomb shades are exactly as described. I love the colors and have purchased some of each color. They are a light filtering shade so some natural light will still glow through. However, we put these in our living room which is mostly windows and during the day if we pull them to 'darken' the room to watch the television, these shades get the job done without making it look like a dungeon. The colors matched PERFECTLY with our walls. VERY VERY PLEASED and have already recommended them to friends and family.
These are easy to install, and they work great. I've had mine for 3 months. I open and close them daily and have had no issues. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
These window shades are really quite amazing. They literally install in minutes. I put up four of them in about an hour. They look great and work very smoothly. Finally no more dust collecting vinyl that is impossible to clean. No more annoying dangling pull cords. No more having to re adjust slats that get turned upside down. I can't wait to tear out the rest of my old blinds and replace them with these!
The Honeycomb Cellular Shade (white) was exactly as expected. I love its clean look and having not to deal with the cords. I would buy one for each room if the price would be more on par with the mini-blinds.

They should have a battle royal - baby oil bikini match to see who gets the part. Pay-per-view royalties would make them as much as the movie.
My first inclination is not Teresa Palmer. I've always kind of liked Alison Brie. I would like to see her in the Marvel universe.
I think they should use Widow as a love interest or at least create romantic tension for Cap, I thought it worked in the Ultimate Avengers animated movies and it could create a little light tension with Hawkeye in the Avengers sequel. Still would have perferred an actual Russian or eastern european as Widow (Olga Kurylenko for instance) but Scarlett was fine. I'm more nervous about the representation of Falcon but Marvel Studios has a great track record so I'm trying to relax and be confident.
The most horrifying aspect of it is the winning actress will have to spend months of shooting in Cleveland!!!!!
@Reek I hear you about Falcon. With everything else that's going on in this movie, I just don't see how they're going to work in his origin and do it justice. Unless they plan to make him like he is in the Ultimate-verse, a SHIELD agent just like Hawkeye.
Umm I'd like to see that too, Roqueja. Just sayin. That said, I'd Like to see Scarlet in any movie.

hedwards: The difference is that they don't bother lying about it like the US government does. The Chinese never had any concept of privacy previously, so they didn't lose any. But in the US we did have privacy and the government is constantly looking for ways around that without people knowing about it.
Just curious, though, my sense is that the PRC folks actually are somewhat ignorant of it all, it's only the educated and foreigners with who China is being "honest" about it. Am I wrong?

myoclonus, which is often the first symptom, followed by generalized epilepsy, ataxia, weakness, and dementia. Symptoms usually first appear in childhood after normal early development but symptoms can also first occur in adulthood. Symptoms vary widely from individual to individual and the course may be slowly progressive or rapidly downhill. Other common findings include hearing loss, short stature, optic atrophy, and cardiomyopathy with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. The diagnosis is based on clinical features and a muscle biopsy finding of ragged red fibers (RRF) [1]. The condition is caused by mutations - that can be detected with genetic testing in 90% of affected individuals - in the mitochondrial gene called MT-TK. The seizure disorder is treated with conventional anticonvulsant therapy. Coenzyme Q10 and L-carnitine are often used in hopes of improving mitochondrial function.[2]

Ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop dies
Koop raised profile of office
Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop died peacefully at his home on Monday, Dartmouth College said. He was 96.
Koop served as surgeon general from 1982 to 1989, under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
He was outspoken on public health issues and did much to elevate the office of the surgeon general.
He died at his home in Hanover, New Hampshire, the college said in a news release.
"Dr. Koop did more than take care of his individual patients -- he taught all of us about critical health issues that affect our larger society," said Dartmouth President Carol L. Folt. "Through that knowledge, he empowered each of us to improve our own well-being and quality of life. Dr. Koop's commitment to education allowed him to do something most physicians can only dream of: improving the health of millions of people worldwide."
Koop, who was called "Chick" by his friends, was perhaps best known for his work around HIV/AIDS. He wrote a brochure about the disease that was sent to 107 million households in the United States in 1988. It was the largest public health mailing ever, according to a biography of Koop on a website of the surgeon general.
Prior to his appointment, Koop was surgeon-in-chief at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was a pioneer in the field of pediatric surgery, the biography said.
He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and attended Dartmouth College, Weill Cornell Medical College and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
Koop was the author of more than 200 articles and books. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995 and was known for wearing bow ties, suspenders and a clipped beard.
Koop is survived by his wife, three children and seven grandchildren. His first wife died in 2007.
"Dr. Koop was not only a pioneering pediatric surgeon but also one of the most courageous and passionate public health advocates of the past century," said Wiley W. Souba, dean of the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. "He did not back down from deeply rooted health challenges or powerful interests that stood in the way of needed change. Instead, he fought, he educated, and he transformed lives for the better."
