Bryce Harper's first career walk-off hit. Michael Morse's return to the lineup. Lucas Giolito's questionable right elbow.
There are no shortage of storylines right now for the first-place Nationals, so CSNwashington.com's Chase Hughes, the Washington Times' Amanda Comak and I will have plenty to discuss later this afternoon when we tape our latest edition of Beltway Baseball at Nationals Park.
And as always, we'll be taking your questions. Submit them here and we'll pick the best ones to answer on the show, which will be posted on the site tomorrow morning.

Mark I have to know what the justification is to keep Espinosa here and not let him try to work things out in AAA. Does management not see how overmatched at the plate he is?
- AndesAngle - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:17 PM
The Nats have had terrible batting with runners in scoring position for a while now. When do the Nats finally decide that Eckstein has to go?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:24 PM
What do you think is wrong with Adam LaRoche? I think he is playing hurt. At the very least, I think Morse needs to give him 2 to 3 days off.
- carolync - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Based on the voting results released yesterday, it doesn't look like the Nats will have any position players on the All-Star team again this year. Do you think Harper will be a Manager selection? How many of our pitchers do you think will be selected?
- Doc - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Mark what is your best guess as to who goes and who stays in the bull pen? Also, does anyone with the Nats' braintrust have a solution to handling Henry Rodriguez.
- baseballswami - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:31 PM
Mark – How long can the HRod relieving experiment keep going? Does he have options? Can we afford to keep him in a valuable spot if he is not producing?
- MicheleS - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:36 PM
Mark, with regards to the draft. Does Rizzo think he can sign little Gio? What about the rest of them? We got high mark from analysts, but just wondering about the signability of some of these high school players.
- baseballjones - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Presumably the Nats did their homework on the specifics of Giolito's CURRENT injury, e.g., they looked at the MRI, talked to his doctors. But did they get an expert opinion on his biomechanics in order to better estimate the likelihood of a repeat injury to the UCL? For example, is Giolito another inverted W guy?
- SCNatsFan - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:40 PM
And Mark, not to dismiss your broadcast partners, have you brought your son to a Nats game yet?
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Any updated thoughts on the Dreaded AL/NL East Stretch, at not quite the halfway point? I believe that they're 8-7 to date with 17 games to go.
- Tcostant - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:42 PM
Are the Lenners looking to do a deal with Metro, similar to the one with Verizon Center; where their is always a train after the game? If this team makes the playoffs, this could be a huge issue with those late post season starts.

Any update on the progress for Werth/DeRosa/ Tracy?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 3:55 PM
From Kilgore (maybe he was trying to say game-trying):They had blown a three-run lead. Ian Desmond drove in three game-trying runs. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/nationals-vs-mets-bryce-harper-drives-in-winning-run-in-12th-inning/2012/06/05/gJQAVe5RHV_story.html

Not a Nationals specific question but why do batters use single ear flap helmets? Seems like they would feel unbalanced and they don't provide the same protection a double ear flap does while running the bases….
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:07 PM
Good one, SC, and you're welcome.
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:08 PM
How about this, er, passage? What else would it have been, lemonade? Wait…eeewwww…Afterward, in the Washington Nationals' clubhouse, Bryce Harper sniffed at the shirt he had worn under his uniform. It is still the beginning for Harper, still the time in his career when every night may bring another first, when every detail matters for posterity. He wanted to discern which liquid he had been doused with after the first walk-off hit of his career. "Yeah," he said, smiling. "It was Gatorade."
- SonnyG10 - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:08 PM
Mark, How does MLB determine the signing bonus pool? Why did we only get around $4 Million when other teams got more? Are we being punished because of over-slot spending last year?
- Grandstander - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:10 PM
How much longer are the Nats going to continue to carry 3 catchers?
- Soul Possession, My Hitterish Sofa - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:13 PM
Not a Nationals specific question but why do batters use single ear flap helmets? Seems like they would feel unbalanced and they don't provide the same protection a double ear flap does while running the bases…. with apologies to Mark: It's more comfortable, and it's easier to get on and off, but really, it just looks cool. I'm not making this up.
- Stew Magnuson - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:17 PM
My question is how soon can we get rid of Henry Rodriquez, not should we.
- MicheleS - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:22 PM
1A.. I think the sniff came from the fact that Kristina thought it was water when they threw it on him.

Any update on the TV negotiations/arbitration between the Nats and the forces of evil that conspire against them, a/k/a the Orioles?
- baseballswami - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:51 PM
If Desi was our unsung hero, then Thole was the unsung hero for the mets. If you think catching Hrod is hard then just look at what he had to do. He saved the game to that point when he leaped up and hauled down the ball during the intentional walk that went about a mile high. There were many occasions where his heroics kept his team in the game. He just couldn't save his pitcher from self – destructing. Imagine if Henry was all we had left. A traumatic thought. I think I would have rather seen LaRoche.
- Water23 - Jun 6, 2012 at 4:59 PM
How about some draft analysis. Did the Nats go after signability in the later rounds so that they could use the money on their top pick?
- Drew - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:10 PM
What is the likelihood the Nats will pick up LaRoche's option for 2013?Does re-signing LaRoche (leaving an OF of Morse, Harper, Werth) take the Nats out of next winter's market for Bourn, Upton and Victorino?
- Soul Possession, My Hitterish Sofa - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:10 PM
By tomorrow morning, they'll be 1/3 of the way through the season. How are your predictions holding up?
- whatsanattau - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:13 PM
A few questions:Will it be Maldonado or Solano who goes down when they drop a catcher? When Storen comes back will they put him in leverage situations immediately or leave Clippard to close for weeks (or possibly through the rest of the year)?When will Nats fans actually recognize that Ian Desmond is one of the top 5 shortstops in the National League?
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:13 PM
The Kid:Leads the team in OBP, SLG, OPS (by over .050), and trails only Lombo in BAAnd despite spending 1/3 of this season so far in the minors, he's fifth in hits, 4th in TB, 4th in RBI, 3rd in runs scored, 3rd in HR (1st in triples, of course).(and has zero GIDP)Not bad for a teenager . . .
- Schumatrix - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:14 PM
With the return of Michael Morse, and the assumption that Bryce Harper will continue to produce, do you think the offense will ever begin to perform at a consistently productive level?
- Scooter - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Sec3, that helmet link was excellent. Danke.Sonny G, Mr. Z may have a better answer, but here's my understanding: each team's "pool" is based on its draft picks. Like, the #16 pick is "slotted" at $2.7 million; the #80 pick is slotted at $300,000*; and so on. Add them up, and there's your total.The wrinkle is, instead of saying the #16 pick must get exactly $2.7 million (or whatever), teams can try to sign #16 for a little bit less, and thus have a little bit more for #80, or vice versa. That's why they have a pool. And the Nats' pool is smaller because they don't have a lot of really early picks.So, I'm sorry. I fear that we'll have to look elsewhere for Nats-hating conspiracies. Don't worry; I'm sure someone here will find one soon enough.* warning! these numbers recently emerged from my backside!
- Bigfish - Jun 6, 2012 at 5:55 PM
Given that Espi can't hit a lick left-handed, & Lombo can, & given that they're both switch-hitters, has any thought been given to platooning them at 2B? I realize this would give Lombo most of the playing time — since we face mostly righty pitchers. Frankly, I wouldn't have a problem with that.
- Drew - Jun 6, 2012 at 6:05 PM

Why does Davey never bunt with position players and always bunt with pitchers? Why not let Det swing away in the 12th last night (or take), but what was the point of him bunting?

Does Harper deserve to be an All Star? Would it be good or bad for his development if he made it this year? And, who will be the NL manager for this year's game, given that LaRussa has retired?
- Giostras - Jun 6, 2012 at 6:25 PM
Mark:With the benefit of hindsight (his latest ankle injury- which I know was unrelated to the problems that were known at the draft), were the Nats indeed lucky that Rendon fell to them — instead of the pitchers who were drafted before our (#6) selection. They are off to outstanding starts in the minors. Can you tell me how Bubba Starling (#5) is doing?
- Section 215 Row A - Jun 6, 2012 at 6:25 PM
Thanks, Soul. I figured it was something like that. When the league mandated at least one flap in 1983 I guess the batters figured I will only comply with the minimum requirements of the rule…And pRRA…I'll bite: what do your initials stand for?
- MicheleS - Jun 6, 2012 at 6:35 PM
Regards to the ASG.. Is it possible that Ian goes? LaRussa spoke glowingly of him when he was here earlier this year. Plus he actually deserves to go…I am guessing GIO/Stras go and maybe 1 of the releivers (Like Clipp or Sean or maybe Craig)
- bowdenball - Jun 6, 2012 at 6:41 PM
MicheleS-I love Desmond as much as the next guy, but there's no spot for him in the ASG. Four NL shortstops have better hitting numbers almost across the board than Desmond. Two of them- Lowrie and Tulowitzki- by a huge margin. Unless they decide to punish Furcal for being old and not that good on defense and Castro for being a bonehead, there's zero chance that Desmond makes it. More because of the quality of NL SSs than any Desmond shortcomings, although a .289 OBP doesn't help things.

Flores is starting tonight. Isn't that how HR hurt his leg a week ago getting over-used?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:17 PM
Lots can change between now and first week of July plus All Star alternates.If I had to pick now its Gio, Stras and Harper. MLB wants ratings. Bryce Harper is the most marketable player outside of NY in my opinion and he is on the fringe of legitimately earning his way in.HR Derby of newbies like Harper and Stanton
- Scooter - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:20 PM
Steve, who is HR? (with the bad over-used leg)(By the way, I don't think you should go around banning a thing because one guy got hurt doing it. Players still slide head-first and jump onto home plate after a game-ending homer.)
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:24 PM
Scooter, sorry, He, as in JFlo.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:27 PM
For anyone counting, last night was 1 1/3 games in a 9 inning equivalent and Flores was gassed.
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:27 PM
(By the way, I don't think you should go around banning a thing because one guy got hurt doing it. Players still slide head-first and jump onto home plate after a game-ending homer.) Veering off into weird on-field injuries, how's this:I read that a pitcher on the Mets hurt his hammy (enough to go on 15-day DL) while running from the bullpen to join in the celebration of Johan's no-no.
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:29 PM
Yep – I suspect that Flores was going to get tomorrow's day game off. But with a shaky Mets pitcher tonight, Dickey going tomorrow, as the 12-innings last night . . . I'd be thinking of giving Flores a night off, and have him catch tomorrow.
- Scooter - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:31 PM
Oh, of course. Sorry, Steve; I should have had that one.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:34 PM
Thank you DC Wonk, obviously we're not up to the baseball IQ of pRAA who botched the whole wild pitch evaluation last night but nobody really called him out on it.
- Scooter - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:34 PM
I read that a pitcher on the Mets hurt his hammy (enough to go on 15-day DL) while running from the bullpen to join in the celebration of Johan's no-no. Ha ha ha. That's precious.For the record, they DID ban players from dreaming about spiders. It's been in the CBA for about 10 years now.
- peric - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:40 PM
Playing two games in the space of four days is not overuse for a starting catcher, which is what Flores is. The real question is if Flores is now capable of shouldering a starting catcher's workload why are they still carrying three catchers?OH gee, maybe because the only truly healthy catcher they have is Solano and even he had a somewhat serious back injury this season.How many seasons in the majors has Flores caught in its entirety? ZERO.And how many season since spending 2+ years rehabbing a bad shoulder?ZERO.Sheesh. Don't take one of the stats I like to use, make it your monicker, and then make nonsensical posts like that.
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2012 at 7:56 PM

Question — has the team settled a long term deal with Charlie Slowes and Dave Jagler? (I don't watch Micheal Angelos Sports Network, and can't imagine anyone else on the radio.)
- Unknown - Jun 7, 2012 at 4:52 PM
Why is Espinosa deemed a "switch hitter"….just because he says so!?!?!? I could call myself a brain surgeon but you wouldn't like the results any better than the farce of Espy hitting LH. Why doesn't Davey just make him hit righty all the time and watch how much he improves? After all, Morse, Zimmerman, and hundreds of other good hitters are full-time righties even against RH pitching.

23 points is really nothing. you are missing the bigger picture.
I see Frazier as a sophomore slump one year removed from an .827 OPS. Can he rebound? .261 .316 .523 .839 this past September. Small sample to be sure, but he's athletic. I see a huge rebound for him back to a lower to mid .800 OPS and an increase in HR's to the mid 20's. Todd had 0 HR's in May and only 1 in July. that's clearly an aberration. his average the other four months was 4.5. I can see him hitting 26 HR's next year.
Meanwhile Sandoval keeps getting bigger. He'll be 27 next year, age prime year, but his OPS last year was over 150 points lower than two years ago. He's not getting smaller. He's not gaining speed. And he'll be worse defensively next year if the weight doesn't come off. And honestly, how much of 262 do you expect him to lose over the winter?
Panda makes ZERO sense for the Reds.

Awesome video. I tried to be as cool as you...made a PERFECT pie and set up my camera, turned my back to position the camera one last time, and under the broiler the pizza caught fire!! I just HAD to be a show off right Amazing looking NY pie my man!!
A made a couple of short videos of a few of the pies that we enjoyed. A white pie with garlic chicken. Oops, I forgot the red onions on this one. Half cheese, half meatball. The meatball pies were a crowd favorite.

I made this without dehydrating and it was ah-mazing, however a bit messy! I don't have a dehydrator, but was wondering if you had any idea how one might dehydrate them in the oven??
Raw granola bars
Prep Time
10 min -
Total Time
10 min -
Shelf Life
5 days in fridge -
12 servings
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup dates
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup buckwheat groats
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup ground flax seeds (flax seed meal)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Recipe Directions
- 1. Process almonds, dates and water. You don't need them to be totally processed, just process well enough--similar to how you'd process to make a raw pie crust. You should smallish chunks of dates and raisins.
- 2. Transfer almond/date/water mixture into a big mixing bowl.
- 3. Add everything else to the big mixing bowl and just mix with a spoon or even your hands.
- 4. Spread granola bars into two glass dishes. (This is a big recipe, so you'll probably want to put it into two separate dishes or else it'll be really thick in one dish.)
- 5. These raw granola bars can be eaten as is--undehydrated (taste more like brownies then) or you can cut and dehydrate these raw granola bars to make a more traditional crunchy granola bar. Perhaps leave one dish moist and dehydrate the other! Best of both worlds :)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianRaw granola bars are so tasty. I should really make them more often!
Sorry for posting a raw granola bar recipe that calls for so many ingredients, I realize that it goes against my "totally simple" rule... But I just made this recipe up and the flavor is so nice so I wanted to share these raw granola bars with you all!
Plus, it is actually pretty easy once you get past the first food processing bit.
This raw granola bar recipe would actually make a perfect pie crust or raw cake base as well. It's got the standard raw goody texture. :) But the flavor is really unique--in a good way!

Raw granola bars
Ohhh your raw granola bar is wonderfull and seems like great meal , i'll do it on my son's birthday party. Thanks.
My Calorie Blog,
These look great. I have started leaving oil out of my granolas and they still come out great and crunchy. You can save some calories that way.
Kellyd.fischer's Review
Raw granola bars
I've made this recipe lots of times as is, but I've also really enjoyed how fantastically flexible it is too! I've experimented with adding in mashed bananas, craisins, diced dried apricots, dried cherries, dried apple pieces, and my fave: cacao nibs! The recipe is sweet enough to balance out the cacao nib bitter and leave an awesome chocolatey crunch.
Today I've made cherry apricot dark chocolate version of these!
I don't dehydrate these very long in an effort to add a wee bit of moisture to my diet, but then they easily freeze for longer shelf life and thaw for breakfast on the go!
Thanks rawitarian for this great recipe and always having such a wonderful go to site!
Jaclyn 's Review
Raw granola bars
Thanks, this has been a great base recipe for me to play with. I soak the dates and then use the date water instead of honey. I totally sprout every nut and seed, which takes a few days but I like that, I use the tahini and coconut oil, love that! Cinnamon and vanilla, too. I also add on top of flax and coconut, hemp shells and chia seeds. Just a power house of health this is!! I have intentions to dehydrate this, but already after my second batch all the dough gets eaten up too quick. My very young children love this, too. Thanks for your great recipes, I look forward to trying more. I
Thanks for your reply. My buckwheat groat had plenty of weirdo flies in it, so need to restock lol
How long do you keep it in the dehydrator? in what temperature? Thanks!
If I dehydrate them how should I store them and for how long. I'm taking a 6 week road trip and am looking for food to take with me.
Jenny Coffman's Review
Raw granola bars
I liked it slightly dehydrated. It gave the "grawnola" a chewy and crunchy texture.
What can I substitute for the flax? My hubbycan't eat flax.
Kimmie's Review
Raw granola bars
I love the raw granola, it is addicting!!! I have to tell myself to consume in moderation other wise would eat the whole pan. :)
De.lic.ious! Just wish I had a dehydrator to try it that way too! Really though, I love these granola bars!

Hope that the subsequent analysis would help to clarify which board fits into which need. I I'll definitely go for the JP SLW 90 Gold edition OR for the SB iSonic 150 (if SB finally releases this one in WoodCarbon/ other Lightweight construction)... |

Yes, I am aware of that Futura being a less technical ride compared to iSonic, however I have also read that in smaller sizes, there were very close to isonic performance, so my musing came about the use of double concaves.

I just had a chance to do a little experiment with my friend's iSonic133 and my Hypersonic 125 with my 6.5 & 8.5 Ezzy Freeride in 10 - 17 mph (Ave.13mph) flat water condition. Here's my two cents! For my 120lbs.body, iS133 accerelated balistically after a couple of pumps and it seems to want to go as fast as I can push it. It is definitely a great board for even lighter winds, which is the norm around here. Although I felt I could get by with iS121 quite fine with little more pumps, since I like narrower boards in general. As for my Hypersonic 125, it was not as early planing and the accerelation was not as balistic as iS133, but it felt more nimble under my feet and more fun to jibe. When I used a chop caused by boats to unstick the board with a big pump, it came extremely alive and acceralated into plane like a bullet and surprised me too. Is it possible that the big double concave of this board make it possible to unstick itself more efficiently than a flat bottomed boards when used correctly at the right moment as it hit the chop? As for the sails, 6.5 and 8.5 was both quite effective for these boards at a given time, however 8.5 was clearly the optimum of the two I have tested at the time. |

I did ride I133 few time, have touched I131 and bunch of other slalom and free-slalom boards, never laid my eyes on Lorch though. I've windsurfed for 15+ years, 110+ days a year, formula, slalom mainly, living in light wind local, I have plenty of experience with the concept of early planing and very good at it... I participate in local races, so I have excess and input from others, plus, I like to experiment with custom boards, fins, etc,... currently custom shaper and myself are designing a slalom board for light/mid wind for me... Of couse my advise is just my opinion... |

I've never used cloth diapers, but many of my friends do and they love them. I think your attitude is great- it might be hard (especially at first) but it is well worth it. I've been wanting to switch over now that my baby is older, and bumGenius is supposed to be the best. They are so cute, too!
Good luck!Good luck, Steph! I truly admire you're decision. I thought about it with Mia, but just never got around to doing. I guess I was just a little lazy.
I can't wait to read and see more about your new adventure. I'm sure everything will be just FINE! And you're totally right, Ivy is 100% worth it ;)Yay! We've cloth diapered for about 1.5 years now. I think it's a lot less work than I expected. It wasn't really hard at all. I would suggest that you look into a diaper sprayer. Some people say they're not necessary, but we've LOVED ours. :-) Cloth diapers are soooo adorable, too. Have fun and be sure to ask if you have any questions. There are tons of people who can help you.
ReplyDeleteYay for you! I started cloth diapering earlier this year when my second was nearly 2 and showing no signs of potty training readiness. I started with prefolds and covers for him with a few AIO's. I have to say that it wasn't nearly as hard as I envisioned - especially the AIO's.
#3 was born in September and with her I'm using prefolds with covers at home and Thirsties AIO's when we're out and I'm loving it.
I suggest using a dry pail method and definitely use one of the detergents that is recommended by the manufacturer. I have a cute wetbag that I ordered from www.petunias.etsy.com that I keep in my diaper bag.
Happy diapering!yay, yay, YaY!! that is AwEsOmE!! i have cloth diapered all four of my kiddos~ the last 2 we haven't used disposables at all, even when traveling!! we use cloth wipes and a reusable wet bag too so we have absolutely no diapering waste :) my girlfriends and i sew diapers, covers and wet bags... i might just have to get a little welcome to CD'ing gift together for you, mama!
erikaI love cloth diapers! We have used them from the first day home from the hospital with my 8-month old daughter. We personally use a diaper service, which makes it really easy-- we just wash the diaper covers. I highly recommend www.greenmountaindiapers.com as a source for information and supplies. I don't think they sell the BumGenius brand, but you might get adventurous and want to try other types once you get used to it. Great decision, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! When I first tried it with Elizabeth, I forced myself to commit to it for two months, because that's how much of the diaper budget I'd spent to get started. By the end of the two months, there was no going back for us. She had fewer rashes & it wasn't as bad as I was afraid. It's so easy to cloth diaper now-a-days! I just ordered my first BumGenius 3.0's this week, too & can't wait to try them out. I've registered for more for Baby #3 due in April.
ReplyDeleteHmm... make sure you have a pail or hanging wetbag to store the dirty diapers. I used a garbage with a lift out inside (you know the kind... the fancy ones that don't show the garbage bag?) with Clark's diapers, and now I use a hanging pail from Leslie's Boutique with Alice. It even looks super cute in her room. It's really not that much harder than using disposables! Until Ivy starts solids you don't even have to do anything to the poopy diapers, just throw them in the washer and go. Also make sure you use a cloth diaper friendly laundry detergent. I use Purex Free and Clear and it has never given me a problem. That's all I can think of off of the top of my head... high five for cloth diapering!
ReplyDeleteCloth diapering is wonderful!! This is my fourth baby and first one we cloth diapered. I knew nothing when we began and I just learned as we went--and still learning after 7 months! We love it and I think you will too. If you have any questions you can email me and from my limited experience I'll try to help.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love it! Ivy is already insanely cute, but seriously, cloth covered baby bottoms are ridiculously cute. Luke was about 3 weeks old when I first got him into cloth, and I'm hoping to get this next one in even sooner.
Do you have a hanging wetbag for the nursery? It makes cloth so much easier.I think you'll really like it! We switched to cloth when my oldest was six months old and started from day one with the youngest. It felt like a lot of work at the very beginning, but now it's no big deal at all. About as much work as loading/unloading the dishwasher. About 1/2 our stash is bumGenius--they're very user-friendly.
Good luck!You know, I don't think it's all that hard. For one thing, I never run out of diapers in the middle of the night the way I did occasionally (all the time) with disposables! ;)
The only brilliant tip I can think of is this: if your diaper pail starts getting stinky (usually about the time the baby starts eating solids, IME), get Bi-o-Kleen Bac-Out and squirt it on the wet/dirty diapers before you toss them in the pail. Bac-Out is amazing stuff.You amaze me! Good for you for wanting to try this. I really believe it will work and save you lots of money. I remember back in the old days people who used cloth diapers had those massive diaper pins and I always worried about sticking the baby. My, have they come a long way! Ivy's bum will be the best dressed around. You have my support!
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing it with the twins we're fostering (its my first time with coth too). Its been going good so far, we just went with the chinese prefolds and the proraps. Even with two it hasn't been that bad or that crazy, don't listen to the naysayers :) Its worked out to be a load of laundry every other day (a load that is EXTREMELY easy to fold and put away which for me is most of the battle).
ReplyDeleteCongrats and welcome to the world of cloth diapering!!!! I LOVE using cloth - so much that I started my own cloth diapering business! (Shameless self promotion - www.punkerdoopsdiapers.com) :-) But, my advice is to just experiment with a few types of diapers and see what works best for you. I LOVE Thirsties products - their covers NEVER leak. They also make a great All-In-One Pocket which is nice that it has built in absorbency plus a pocket to stuff extra absorbency. FuzziBunz are also a really nice quality product. Oh, and a DIAPER SPRAYER - what a great investment! I use a Sigma Sprayer - works great and can also be used to rinse your toilet when you clean it! :-)
Also, don't be discouraged or confused by all of the washing recommendations. I use Tide and I know a lot of other mamas who think Tide is the best at getting the diapers super clean. But, just remember there is some trial and error in starting your washing routine - try to start with about 1/2 your normal detergent amount then go up or down - it will all depend on the hardness of your water. I get great results using 1/4 cup vinegar in my extra rinse - helps ensure that the rest of the detergent is totally rinsed out.
Well, I could talk for hours and hours about cloth, so I will stop! But, once again WELCOME - you will love the way little Ivy's bum is going to look - something so adorable about a little colored cover on a baby bum! And, feel free to email me any time with any questions!!! I would be so glad to help! You have helped me with babywearing, so it is the least I can do!
AmberAwesome! We didn't cloth diaper our oldest (who's 5yrs old now), but we're cloth diapering our youngest (9wks old). I LOVE it! We got them through the Green Mountain Diapers site (GREAT service!). I use flat diapers with Mommys Touch One-size covers. It was WAY cheaper for us that way cuz we won't have to buy new diapers every time she moves up in size.
I thought it'd be a ton of work, but it's not really. More than disposables, sure. But it's easier than I thought and it's good for baby too!Bravo to you! I am going to post this week about my adventures in cloth diapering -- will let you know. About three months ago we too decided to cloth diaper ... baby number 6 is due in February and we already have two in diapers ... it just makes sense.
We have found it so easy, of course getting into a routine and learning has been a process but I find it much easier.
I will share some thoughts this week all about cloth diapering ... starting tomorrow!! So stop by and see how our journey has gone and I do have some links on my blog and would love to share other links!
Best of luck!Yipee!!! I've been doing it for 6 years and love it. My favorite soap for washing dipes is Charlie's. It is cheap and one scoop does a load of dipes.
I do a dry pail. Get a mini shower for the side of your toilet. It's great when she starts solid foods and you can just rinse off the gross poops.
I also love motherease diapers and my prefolds with a good snappi!
Let me know if you have any questions :)
Oh, by the way, GOOD FOR YOU!Good luck! I can't wait to follow your experience. I've given cloth diapering consideration but haven't been brave enough to try it yet. If you could please stop by and read my latest post I would really appreciate it. I know you are super busy but the post is something that I feel strongly about getting the word out on. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's less work than you think, you'll be able to do it, no problem.
I use Fuzzi Bunz for my 5 week old and 2 year old. I do use disposables for church, I don't want to ask the nursery workers to change a poo 2 year old cloth, that's gross!
The laundry really isn't too much work. And the cuteness is totally worth it!
Enjoy!Good luck! You can totally do it. It's just a different rhythm, that's all.
I used gDiapers with Corinne, which has similar qualities in that I needed to wash the covers, liners, etc. and still needed to do the preparations the night before.
It's a bit more planning, and a bit more washing. But honestly? My kids disposable diapers leaked JUST as much as the cloth covered ones did, so I was still scrubbing poop, even with disposable diapers!
I understand the excitement over it. It's weird, that diapering can get you so excited, but it does!
Good luck!- Jodie BrooksDecember 14, 2008 1:17 PM
Just wanted to wish you luck with the cloth diapers. Don't use them personally, but have had families I've babysat for use them. They actually used a diaper service. The problem that they had was what ever cleaner the diaper service used, cauled her daughter to get a yeast infection. Just wanted to give you a heads up! Again good luck, I be thinking of you when you are going through this experience! :)
ReplyDelete We started using cloth diapers on our three and a half month old about a month ago. Bum Genius are very popular. However, we found that pocket diapers were not a favorite of ours. We prefer prefolds with thirsties covers. We tried pockets (but not bum genius) at first and were very discouraged. So, my advice to you is even if the bum genius are not a favorite of yours try a different type of diaper. We love using cloth, so good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteKudos, Stephanie, on cloth diapering! We do it too, and LOVE it!!! I use bumgenious and fuzzibunz. I like them both, but lean toward the fuzzibunz after using for 10 months. I use some prefolds as well when hanging out at home!
As for tips, sorry if I repeat what others have said, but I didn't have time to read all the comments...
My tips after cloth diapering for 10 months....
1. follow the washing instructions carefully. (I use Charlies Soap. Cold soak/prewash with a 1/2 scoop Charlies, hot wash with a scoop of Charlies, cold rinse x2, dry. I also use a 1/2 cup of bleach one time per month. I didn't want to do bleach at all, but after a few months it became necessary. :(
2. make laundering part of your daily (or every other day) routine, just like eating supper! I wash, dry and stuff the pocket diapers every other night so that they are ready when the next day gets busy.
3. Use a diaper sprayer that connects to your toilet. Those things are awesome!
4. Don't use traditional diaper creams... they cause the diapers to wick. I found that you can use Burt Bee's or olive oil. I also purchased a homemade baby balm made from infused olive that's good for all skin, not just bottoms!
I wish you the best on this journey! You CAN do it... and it's worth it!!!!!!- AnonymousDecember 14, 2008 8:18 PM
Hi. I've been using CD for about 3 1/2 years now (not all on the same child. Since the oldest was 4 mos.) And have to disagree with what you said in the video about it being hard. It's SO EASY once you develop a system for it!! I've heard poor things about the BumGenius diapers and they weren't around yet when I got started, so my friends who did it used Fuzzi Bunz so that's what I got. I currently have 2 in dipes and am working on potty training the older of those 2 so I wash dipes every other evening. I have a kitchen trash can with an XL bummis bag as a liner. (I recommend 2 small bummis bags as wet bags for your diaper bag.) I use these to catch the poo and flush. (Breastmilk poo can go in the machine.) http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=702
I dump everything into the machine and then do a cold rinse and then a hot wash with a little detergent. And then the inserts into the dryer and hang the outer part of the diaper and bags. And then stuff them sitting in front of the TV with some wine. ;) It feels strange to use a sposie now! I love using cloth and DH was wary in the beginning but after a few mos he totally got the hang of it. And I'm partial to Cotton Babies for supplies. http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php
The owner was still working out of her basement when I started CD was extremely helpful. She's great! And the inventor of BumGenius! Plus I like to support local, small business. HTH. -Emily in StL Hi Steph. I didn't read thru all your comments so I don't know if someone already posted this or not, but you MUST buy a diaper sprayer!!! It made my life so much easier. You take dirty diaper to the toilet and spray it off as well as you can, then toss it in the dry diaper pail until you're ready to do a load of diapers. Simple as that. I got one off of ebay but you can also purchase them at www.diapersprayer.com. For a list of cloth diaper terms go to: http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=243
ReplyDeleteOne more thing!!! I almost forgot! Two amazing resources to buy and sell diapers are www.diaperswappers.com and www.diapertraders.com. Watch out though, it's addicting. You can purchase everything there from cute diaper covers, wet bags, pail liners, rash creme, etc! You have to check it out!!!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, that is fantastic!!! I have used cloth with my last three babies and have tried LOTS of brands and BumGenius are my favorite!!! They truly are easy as pie to use. The only issue I have had at all is that we have very hard water and for some reason at first I would get stinky dipers even after they were washed when I used the detergents recommended for them. I have since switched to plain old Tide and every once in a while I just wash with a teeny squirt of Dawn detergent and they do great now. Remember you only need about 1/4 of the amount of detergent you would usually need for cloth diapers. I just do one wash with detergent in hot water and one rinse. When I use the Dawn I throw in an extra rinse to make sure it all gets out. This works wonderfully for us! I wish you the best. I think you will do just fine!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you've decided to switch :) I'm planning on using cloth for our new addition from day one if possible.
Like some other commenters said, it is sooo easy! No more running out of diapers and having to run to the store. Just toss them in the washer :)
You are going to get a ton of confusing information about washing, but it doesn't have to be that difficult. A lot of people mess around and get problems with stinky diapers (think ammonia smell). Here's how you can avoid that. Do a cold rinse FIRST with 1/2 cup white vinegar. Then do a hot wash. You may or may not (I almost never did) need a second cold rinse, but most people waste a TON of water when they wash their diapers, and that's totally not necessary.
I have used Bum Genius, but it was the 2.0, not the 3.0. I always had trouble with the velcro not sticking to the laundry tabs, and then I would end up with a long chain of diapers. I think they have fixed that problem with the 3.0, but here's an AWESOME tip that I got from someone just recently, that makes all the difference!
Buy some velcro, just the soft loop part. Cut pieces that are big enough to cover the tabs. Stick them on just before you throw the diaper in the pail/wetbag. You will never get a diaper chain this way! It also helps your diapers look new waaaay longer.
I also recommend a hanging diaper wetbag instead of a pail. I always hated washing out the pail, and a bag can just be thrown in the washer with your diapers. It's very handy to have 2, since they last longer when you air dry them.
Oh yeah, the Bum Genius diapers will also last longer if you air dry them. You can dry the inserts in the dryer though, with no problem.
I also recommend checking out diaperswappers.com but be warned! It is very addicting, and can also be VERY confusing at first, since there is so much information.
You can also ask me questions anytime :) I've been using cloth for about 1 1/2 years now, and I've tried just about everything!Yay!!! Cloth diapering is GREAT and it totally is not that hard. I promise. If you need any help just ask. I LOVE it and I also love to help. I have a bunch of info over at my blog. I have like three seperate posts on it but they are all listed in my left column under my Posts Worth Highlighting and I also have a Word doc that I can e-mail you which I wrote up just for beginners. Let me know if you want it. :) GOOD LUCK!! It's so worth it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you on making the big jump!!! I am finally ready to make my big CD purchase with my new baby, too. I finally have a washer and dryer of my very own to make it worthwhile.
Thankfully, I am involved with the best AP playgroup with mamas that have used every type of CD under the sun. I was able to try some out with my toddler before she potty trained. I absolutely loved the Bum Genius diapers and plan to buy their AIO's for my newborn as soon as she hits 10lbs and can fit into them.
While they are a lot of work, it really is not overwhelming. Just make washing them a part of your routine. It really won't seem like that big of a deal at all.
I can't wait to read more about your experience with CDing. And you are right, Ivy is sooo worth it.Hey! I just started cloth diaper too! We got our bum genius ones from mom4life.com and I LOVE them. I got about 20 diapers (since I have two that will be using them) and then about 30 inserts so I can skip a day of washing. I also got 2 large wet bags for JR's room, and 2 small wet bags for Little Dude (since JR will use more than Little Dude) one small one that stays in the car, one small to hold two clean diapers and one small to put a dirty one in, both that will stay in my diaper bag. I also got the bum genius diaper sprayer and I LOVE that too. I did all the math, and cost wise, even though up front bum genius is more expensive, over all it turns out being the same as the prefolds and covers because you have to keep buying new sizes of all those (and they are a ton more work, I tried those for a short bit and it was a little annoying) Way happy with the bum genius and happy we made the switch; we have already made back our money from not having to buy all the disposables we were going through.
ReplyDeleteYea! I am so happy for you to come to the other side. I swore I would NEVER cloth diaper and used all of those arguments about water and energy to clean...blah blah blah. And then I saw a friend using cloth diapers and realized it is not that much work. I tried it and love it. It saves money, the earth, and is just downright adorable on the babies! Just a warning, it is addictive! You start wanting to try all of these different types and styles -especially with a girl! We use lots of types, but BumGenius and Haute Pockets are my favorites! Go to http://pinstripesandpolkadots.com/detergentbasics.htm#Washing%20Soda to help with how to wash them based on your washing machine and water. I would say figuring out how to wash them is the hardest part, because it is different for everyone. But once you figure that out it is a breeze! Can't wait to read about it!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who successfully did the keto diet for two and a half years, I don't think you'll find cloth-diapering so bad.
I found it easier to stick with one or two types of cloth diapers, so you're not forever matching liners and shells. I also used a dry pail, which was less work and not as heavy to lug around.
Some of the diapers did end up staining, but I figured if they were clean, I didn't care that they weren't super white.
Line drying in the sun can help whiten them up. I used to use a wee bit of oxygen bleach to ensure I killed all the germs because our hot water isn't hot enough (we turned down the tank to save electricity and prevent scalding) -- yes, even though most places tell you it will shorten the life of your diapers. I just found it helped with preventing diaper rash.
One resource I found helpful was diaperpin.com. They have reviews of different diaper brands as well as instructions for washing, recipes for bum cream, sprays, DIY wipes. (I ripped up an old towel and used a spray bottle to dampen the cloths -- wipes were simply washed with the diapers.)
Finally, when I first started cloth diapering Jade, I used to stack them all nicely in a basket at the change table when they were freshly washed. Later I realized it was much easier to just use a large basket and leave them in a jumble. We used diapers that had snap-in liners so I didn't have to match them up, but even if I'd had to it would have been easy since there are the same number of diapers and liners.
You've already got almost 70 comments that I haven't read, so I may just be repeating what others have said. You must have a hard time just keeping up with your blog comments! It's one of the reasons I don't comment on every post you make. :)WOOHOO! I think that you will be very surprised at how easy it is once you get into it. really. OH, and you will LOVe to see that little cloth diapered bum! Don't be surprised if she goes up a size in clothes, though, since cloth usually adds some bulk. I've never used BG, hopefully they'll work well for you. I think that they'll be a good intro and maybe you'll get sucked into it. ;) It can be incredibly addicting.
Good luck and I can't wait to follow your story!

Phoronix: Wayland Gets Hardware-Accelerated Screen Capturing
The DRM compositor back-end for Wayland's Weston now has a patch that provides hardware-accelerated screen capturing support by using VA-API with drivers that support this video decode/encode acceleration mechanism...
Very good!
This is the kind of features you want from a modern display server, being able to use hardware effectively with it.
Cool stuff. This is why it's a good idea to let people who know what they doing deal with the graphics stack.
seems pretty cool but considering that most of the things people record on their screens are gpu intensive, i feel like this would have a more negative effect than anything. i'd rather stick with CPU recording on a modern system, but, having GPU acceleration as an option is always welcome.
"Intensive" may mean anything, from like 30% GPU load to 99%, define.
The computer is gonna do less FPS while recording regardless of whether you're using the CPU or GPU for the task.
Hw accelerated capturing is the Right Thing(TM) to do, your computer sucking at a sophisticated game will not make recording thru CPU better, unless in some corner case.
Doing the stuff on the GPU is better to keep the computer responsive, since if you hog the CPU all other apps are screwed even if they don't use GL.
This is similar to nvidia shadowplay except for vaapi enabled drivers. If vaapi implementation on driver side doesn't use gpu shaders but dedicated hardware for video encoding (not all cards have this hardware physically on board of course) then performance impact should be minimal (2-5%). Excellent news. Hope they will also enable nvidia nvenc support.

Amy Schumer Hilariously Pays Her Respects To Kimye
Go Behind The Scenes On Marianas Trench's 'Here's To The Zeros' Video!
Cute dogs and raunchy puppets!
February 26th, 2013
Aria realizes that Ezra's new family may be too much pressure for her, Hanna tries to cover up her mother's crime, Emily begins her search for Toby and Spencer's discovery causes a breakdown. Find out what happened on tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars after the jump!
You and friend could win a trip to visit the LA set of Pretty Little Liars. Find out how by reading this recap!
At the end of last week's episode of Pretty Little Liars, Spencer decided it was time to tell the girls who A is working with. The moment of truth has arrived and Spencer wants to wait for Hanna, but Aria and Emily demand an answer now. When they get it, neither can believe what Spencer is telling them. Aria feels terrible for Spencer, while Emily refuses to believe that her friend Toby would ever do anything to hurt them.
Hanna is dealing with her own shocking news after she and Ashley discovered Wilden's body missing from the scene. Ashley wants to call the hospital and then her lawyer, but Hanna manages to convince her mother to stay quiet until they find out for sure whether or not Wilden is dead. Speaking of dead, would it kill Hanna to give her mother a hug?
Aria gets to Ezra's apartment the next day and is surprised to find Ezra's son Malcolm there. Maggie is being kicked out of her condo by Ezra's mother and is in town trying to find a job closer to Ezra. Maggie returns to Ezra's to find Aria, Ezra and Malcolm playing with trains. Aria apologizes to Maggie for Ezra finding out about Malcolm, but Maggie says she's okay with everything. She even proves that she's fine with Aria by accepting Aria's offer to babysit later that day while Maggie is at an interview and Ezra is tutoring.
When she gets tired of leaving him voicemails, Emily uses Toby's key and she and Hanna search his loft. They're about to leave empty-handed when Emily comes across the parking pass with the fake name Toby used while working at Radley. Hanna suggests that she try talking to his family next, but when Emily gets to the Cavanaugh house it's obvious by the pile of newspapers and mail that no one has been there in a long time. A stranger in Toby's truck pulls up and when questioned by Emily, he says that he and Toby work together and that Toby lent him his truck before taking off days ago.
Spencer is sleeping on her couch when a knock at her back door wakes her up. Waiting for her is a wreath of flowers with a banner across that reads 'Greatest Sympathy', similar to what someone would send to a funeral. With the flowers is a note from A telling Spencer that one of her friends will suffer for Spencer spilling the beans about Toby.
She tells the girls about the flowers later that day at the Brew, but their conversation is interrupted by Mona's appearance. Spencer approaches her enemy and warns Mona to stay away from her friends and Mona plays it cool, giving Emily a lingering look before leaving.
Back at home, Spencer notices that Emily's initials in the banner are lighter than all the other letters and shows her friend, but Emily thinks that Spencer is being paranoid.
Aria runs home to prepare for her babysitting job by grabbing some of Mike's old toys when Ella surprises her. Aria lies and says that Hanna is the one babysitting and runs out the door rather than tell her mother that Ezra has a son.
Things are going well with Aria and Malcolm, but when Aria turns her back to call Spencer, Malcolm falls off Ezra's bed and splits his chin.
At the hospital, Ezra blames Aria for not watching Malcolm and instead calling her friends. He's obviously never babysat before.
Aria finally comes clean to her mom about Ezra's child, hoping for some advice. Ella listens and tells Aria that she should take a step back from the relationship. Having an older boyfriend in high school is tough, but one with a baby? That's a whole different story.
Emily visits her mom at work and pretends to check her email, instead looking up the fake name Toby used while working at Radley. Her mom comes back before Emily can find anything, but Emily does get a text from Toby telling her to stop looking and that he'll meet her later that night.
Hanna gets home and hears a honking in her garage. She opens the door and finds Wilden's police cruise parked inside with the video of her mom hitting him playing on a loop.
Terrified, she calls Aria and the two girls push the car across town and into a lake. This is possibly the worst idea Hanna has ever had and that's saying a lot. Shouldn't they have checked to make sure Wilden's body wasn't in the trunk? Or celebrate that it is in there?
Hanna comes home again and finds her mother there this time. Ashley thinks she saw Wilden in town earlier that day and believes that since she hasn't been arrested yet, maybe nothing bad will happen. Too late.
Emily arrives at the address Toby gave her and waits over two hours. She's ready to leave when she sees a woman in a red coat walk into the warehouse. Emily follows her in and finds the guy she met outside Toby's house earlier that day. He tells her Toby isn't there and then calls her by her name, even though she never introduced herself. Annnnd time to run, Emily!
Emily gets outside and finds that her window has been smashed. On her front seat is an envelope with a program for Toby's funeral inside. I am le nervous.
Spencer has been following Mona all day in an attempt to keep Emily safe. Spencer follows Mona first to The Brew, where Mona counts out a huge amount of money before getting a phone call. Her next stop is the woods, where Spencer loses Mona, but finds…Toby.
He's laying on the ground in what looks like a make shift campsite. His motorcycle helmet is still on and his jacket is raised enough for Spencer to identify him by his 'Free At Last' tattoo. Oh. My. Gosh. Is Toby really dead? Could this just be a body double that A is using? I know he was working with 'A', but I was still holding out that there was an explanation and that he was the good Toby we all loved.
Spencer drops to her knees and begins to cry, ready to remove his helmet when Mona's voice yells 'He's dead' as she runs away. Spencer takes off after Mona, but ends up collapsing alone in the woods. Heartbreaking.
A hiker finds Spencer the next morning and the police can't get any information out of her, labelling her as a Jane Doe and sending her for a psych evaluation. Pushed to a mental breakdown by A, Spencer finds herself alone in Radley, this time as a patient.
Did the police find Toby's body? And what about Spencer's car? Was Mona counting money to pay someone for killing Toby? Aria and Hanna are telling Emily about Wilden's car and the girls are trying to figure out what the funeral program means. I wonder how long it will be until they find Spencer.

When people use the term "ministroke," what they're really often referring to is a transient ischemic attack (TIA) -- a temporary interruption of blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or retina.
The symptoms of a TIA are similar to those of a stroke, but a TIA doesn't destroy brain cells or cause permanent disability. However, TIAs may recur, and each TIA increases the risk of a subsequent stroke.
If you suspect that you've had a TIA, seek immediate medical attention. You may need various diagnostic tests, such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or a computerized tomography (CT) scan, to help determine what caused the TIA.
Depending on the underlying cause, you may need medication to prevent blood clots or a procedure to remove fatty deposits (plaques) from the arteries that supply blood to your brain (carotid endarterectomy).

Wilson Solar Grill
this wiki
The Wilson Solar Grill is currently being developed by MIT professor David Wilson with the help of MIT graduate students from differing disciplines, as of Fall 2012.
This grill is planned to collect thermal energy from the sun and store it to allow cooking times for up to twenty-five hours at temperatures above 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The study is being conducted by Derek Ham, Eric Uva, and Theodora Vardouli, all part of an entrepreneurship course called "iTeams." I-Teams, (short for "Innovation Teams") is a unique MIT course that assembles cross-disciplinary teams of students from across MIT. The goal of i-Teams is to teach students the process of science and technology commercialization focusing on how to judge a technology's commercial potential. Each team has access to faculty, practitioners, business mentors, and fellow students throughout their project.
"There are a lot of solar cookers out there," says Wilson, "but surprisingly not many using latent-heat storage as an attribute to cook the food." Wilson's technology uses a Fresnel lens to harness the sun's energy to melt down a container of Lithium Nitrate. The Lithium Nitrate serves as a solar battery. Due to its phase change reaction, the thermal energy is able to be stored at longer periods of time and at higher temperatures. Heat is then redistributed through convection, which allows for outdoor cooking.
The students are currently taking a market survey on this technology via Survey Monkey. You can visit and take their survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GPNRXNJ
While the goal of creating a solar grill with the latent heat storage capacity they are projecting is fascinating, the grill is still a ways from becoming a production reality. This is probably also not a solution for subsidized solar cooking programs in developing countries due to the probable high cost. If the grill makes it to production, there may well be a substantial market in more developed countries.

'Lady Gaga would have blushed...'
14 September 2010
'Lady Gaga would have blushed...'
Travel Day. Lugano to Munich.
My San Franciscan pal & I spent the day travelling from Lugano to Munich by train, changing at Zurich. The first leg was the more pleasant of the two, being a Swiss train with a particularly appealing dining car. The train itself was quite busy but the dining car pleasantly deserted. It was the real thing, with window tables set with white table cloths and a chatty waitress serving up more than passable fare. I could go into a rant here built around a comparison to trains in the UK, but I€™ve long understood that this is a complete waste of breath.
It was about a seven-hour journey all told, but it is such an effortless way to travel that the time passes remarkably quickly. As we approached Munich, I fired up the GPS to get an idea of where our hotel was in relation to the railway station. I'm staying at the crew hotel here, an a typically upscale Sofitel, which the GPS located and gave me a running update as to how far away we were from it. I noticed the distance becoming increasingly shorter, as you€™d expect, but by the time we had pulled into the station the €˜distance to your destination€™ was showing as '300m'. Indeed, the hotel was right next door to the railway station, which was a bit of a result. Love train travel.
Once installed at the Sofitel, we took a stroll out into the old town, in search of dinner. Finding a place to eat in a random city is always a bit of a pig in a poke. You can ask the concierge for some direction, but the danger then is ending up in a place with half the touring party, all having followed the same advice (sometimes this is fun but sometimes enough is enough). Following our feet and finding ourselves in a pedestrian area, it was remarkable to note that practically every other shop window was displaying lederhosen and dirndls. I know we're in Bavaria but this level of local patriotism seemed a tad OTT. Looking further and seeing smaller road-side stalls and gift shops selling mad 'babydoll' versions of the Heidi outfits and really rather suggestive leather pants, it became clear that this was all part of the ramp up to Oktoberfest which begins on Saturday. I was aware that this festival was a very serious local piss-up on a large scale, but until this moment I hadn't realised it was fancy dress.
Our muse of cuisine led us to the Rathouse €" the huge old town hall €" which appeared to have a restaurant in the basement. On closer inspection it turned out that the restaurant was wonderfully traditional and absolutely vast. We were led though two or three large vaulted rooms, packed with diners until we were seated. The place was very lively and the food was great, traditional Bavarian fare. We couldn€™t help but notice that not only were there very few tourists in the place, but the average age of the diners seemed to be about 65 years. Far from being a quiet pensioners night out, the place was absolutely rocking. Much hilarity and boisterousness ensued, including the uninhibited antics of a very high-spirited accordion player. Bavarian grown-ups clearly know how to party, with a couple of amorous octogenarians smooching with such a passion that Lady Gaga would have blushed. Loved it.

Travel day, Melbourne - Auckland.
Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 10.9 For Linux Released
AMD has just released their monthly proprietary Linux driver update, which this month puts it at Catalyst 10.9. The only new "feature" of AMD Catalyst 10.9 for Linux is early support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 (RHEL6), but there are some bug-fixes...
Woohoo, finally, no more black boxes in OpenSUSE 11.3! That means I can continue using fglrx now!
Fedora 13 works since Catalyst 10.8 with the AMD proprietary driver. Here is a guide how to install it on F13.
rhel6 uses xserver 1.7 and kernel 2.6.32.
*** it already worked in rhel6 from months ago. Now all they did in that regard is slap on an extra sticker that says "rhel6".
I tried to install it here on gentoo and although it says it has succesfully installed the driver (kernel module) is not built at all. In the install log I get this:
Which is quite strange for Gentoo, where I have kernel compiled from source and it worked just fine with 10.8.Code:[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module. [Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched. [Error] Kernel Module : Kernel module build environment not found - please consult readme.
I also tried the install from text mode, without X, and there it just errors out with some glibc error talking about some double-free error.
OK, It installed here on another Gentoo desktop. Will have to figure out what is the difference that prevents it from installing it on the laptop.
Well so far I can see that the new 2D accelleration architecture is still buggy as hell and there is still no easy option to disable it.
The panel brigtness slider in KDE battery widget still gets broken with Catalyst drivers (works finr with open-source ones).
BTW does anyone know when we will get OpenCL as part of Catalyst drivers? If I am correct windows drivers have it since 10.8, but here on Linux we are stuck with some beta 10.7 drivers. It would be nice to at least update the beta drivers to something like 10.9.
Did they fix the v-sync? Nop
Did they fix the lag when maximizing? Nop
Thanks, AMD.

We've all been horrified and saddened by the images in the news since Typhoon Haiyan struck land on November 7 in the Philippines: flattened buildings, smashed boats and displaced people. Families digging through the wreckage of their homes and lives. Parents searching desperately for lost children. One of the most powerful typhoons to hit land in recorded history has left thousands dead and many more homeless and desperate.
In the midst of all this tragedy, AJWS supporters have turned to us to help. Our donors have contributed nearly $500,000 for typhoon survivors, and we have been working around the clock to get this critical funding to people who need it most. Read More
