Chien-Ming Wang faces Mike Leake tonight at Nationals Park.
After an unexpected two-day layoff thanks to Sunday's rainout in Philadelphia and yesterday's off-day in D.C., the Nationals are back in action tonight, opening a 10-game homestand. First up: The Reds, the only NL opponent the Nats have yet to face this season.
Chien-Ming gets the start, hoping to build off his fantastic outing at Wrigley Field last week, in which he carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. It's probably too much to expect the right-hander to pull that off again, but the Nationals would love to see another solid outing from him.
Tonight, the Nationals will be honoring members of the military (especially those Navy SEALs who died in the recent helicopter attack) by wearing special caps during batting practice and their stars and stripes jerseys during the game. Should make for a nice scene.
Updates to come….

Chien-Ming Wants? We'll see how much he's lacking after to-nights' game.Must be a hard name to get right. Cubs' broadcaster Rick Monday kept getting Wang's name wong and calling him 'Wong'.

NatStat said… Not sure about your comment, but it is pronounced 'WOng' with an 'O'.

Um, it is "Wong", out loud….
- Bryan Scrafford - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:09 PM
Any word on what the Nats are planning on doing with Chien-Ming Wang's contract? Seems like they wouldn't have invested all that money in his rehab if they weren't going to sign him once he's pitching again, but I also don't think you can sign him to more than a season (MAYBE two) without seeing how he does throughout the course of a full season.
- NatStat - Aug 16, 2011 at 8:11 PM
Wang is wong, and Wong is right. I guess it needs an English spelling to give it the correct pronunkiation

Seeing "Game 120" in print is kind of making me sad. Where did the season go? Before you know it, we'll be doing our "best and worst" moments. There has already been lots of talk about 2012. Promise I will stop the pity party and move on — plenty of baseball left to go! GYFNG!!I would love to see the Nats put together a nice run in the next 6-7 weeks — starting right here with the Reds.

Swami, it occurred to me earlier today that we're nearly 3/4 of the way through the season. But it ain't over 'til it's over so I'll savor it while I can.

Tough play, but Werth has to catch that ball with two outs.
- baseballswami - Aug 16, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Uh, oh – let's hope that Wang can recover after the first like he did in his first two starts. Now – we absolutely , positively , need offense!!! Should Werth have had that one? Looked like it was not a sure thing.

I know some of us have been complaining that Ramos was standing too far from the plate. Just heard Rizzo say they moved him a couple of inches closer to the plate about a week ago. Does Nats management read this blog?
- Joe Seamhead - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:24 AM
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:26 AM
Yes, bigfish – because they know we all have too much time on our hands and we are total experts on all aspects of the game. Noooooo – just kidding. But, then again, maybe they do listen – Matt Stairs is retired, isn't he?
- gonatsgo - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:31 AM
Well – that was just a freaking bomb, wasn't it? Go Zim! Competing with Michael Morse, hey? Go for it!!!

Wang (Wong) got his quality start. Now let's get him outta there.It may be the cynic in me, but I always worry when this guy pitches. Time for the Coffey-Clip-and-Store show.
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:52 AM
Why did Wang bat for himself? Do we really have to prove he can go more than six right now and risk it? Please, Burnett, Coffey – fresh bullpen, anyone?
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:53 AM
And why Clip in the 7th?
- Anonymous - Aug 17, 2011 at 12:55 AM
Totally agree, Mark. This was bonehead – could have had a pinch hitter, could have had a reliever start a clean inning.
- FS - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:13 AM
Seriously there is nothing better than reading the game updates here after missing the first few innings. Love it Mr. Z. Thank you.
- Joe S. - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:20 AM
Having Wang pitch into the seventh is a bonehead move if you want to win games. It makes a bit more sense if you want to see what Wang can do. Is the guy a #2 pitcher, like he used to be? A #3? A #4-5? Not worth the money? You have to answer the question now, because you have to decide how much money (if any) you want to offer him at the end of the season.More data on this question is worth the risk, especially if you are three runs ahead, as the Nats were at the beginning of the seventh.
- JaneB - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:22 AM
We even get REDS Insider dope! See? This IS the Best Sports Blog in DC!Was Wang always shakey in his first inning, or is the new Wang?
- Mick - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:39 AM
Good start, now darn it, the Nats need to run off 5 in a row at a clip. There is no reason they can't be at 500 or above by 9/1
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:45 AM
Drew Storen was totally filthy tonight! And Tyler did his Houdini thing. A thing of beauty and Wang with 2 wins. Really – confess – did you see this coming a couple of weeks ago? I know I did not.
- Grandstander - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:46 AM
I initially suggested it as a joke, but I'm really starting to wonder if a simulated 1st inning might do Wang some good.
- Drew8 - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Nice win, boys!P.S. In Hagerstown tonight, Robbie Ray was pulled after three innings, with a 7-0 lead.The box says the weather was clear, so I don't think it was a rain delay. Hope he's OK.Mark: Might it be that the kid has an innings limit?
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:59 AM
Fast game – time to watch "The Franchise".
- ehay2k - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:16 AM
Listening to the post-game report, and D J said Zimmerman called his homer in the dugout before he went out to hit.Zimmerman is amazing.
- Mick - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:23 AM
This is fun and it brings back childhood memories of the 1969 Nats who finished 86-76. Only now, we have a team here for the long haul that is very young and will be very good very soon.
- FS - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:28 AM
Just saw Ryan's home run. That was the most violent swing I seen from him. He disgustingly put that one away for good. Nice win for Wang.
- Dryw - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:28 AM
Just got in from the game, and I'm not sure whether the homers or Drew's 9th were the highlight of the game. Filthy, filthy stuff from Drew indeed and our 3-4 hitters are the real deal. I love winning! GYFNG!!!
- gonatsgo - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:30 AM
It was great to see Pudge in the dugout – I think his presence means something in there even when he is not playing.If you watch him – he never sits back, he is always involved.What a class act.
- Dryw - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:30 AM
Oh, and is it just me, or do a lot of our boys just seem to play with particular joy in the game? Zim, Danny,the Beast….they just seem to love the game of baseball.
- Anonymous - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:36 AM
Cardinals and Giants both lose – again. Is the play off picture starting to emerge?
- baseballswami - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:38 AM
Dryw – I know exactly what you are talking about. Zim seems happy just to have his body back, Morse is just happy to be playing every day, Danny would play all day every day if you let him. It really is great to watch – I love the passion.
- natsfan1a - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:39 AM
Nice win, and I also enjoyed seeing Pudge back in the dugout. I believe this team misses him when he's away.

At MLB.com Bryan Horowitz has a really nice feature on Harrisburg's Erik Arnesen, the Eastern League pitcher of the week. This section plays into what Rizzo's been saying. The Nats don't just sign talented players. They develop players. Huzzahs to Randy Tomlin and Spin Williams."Arnesen is 8-3 for Harrisburg, ranks third in the Eastern League with a 2.36 ERA and is second with a 1.07 WHIP. After adding a split-finger fastball to a repertoire that includes a low-90s fastball, Arnesen has compiled a 115-24 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 124 1/3 innings between Harrisburg and Syracuse. In the Eastern League All-Star Game, he struck out all three batters he faced."Arnesen and Shairon Martis (3.03 ERA, 126 Ks, 36 walks at AA) might rank 15th and 16th among the Nats' quality pitching prospects.That is some impressive depth!
- NatsLady - Aug 17, 2011 at 3:57 AM
Boy, I don't know what you do about this one. Bottom of the 10th, guy drags a bunt, gets tagged but the ump doesn't see it because his view is blocked, and calls him safe. Indians got robbed. Hope they don't lose on that play.
- NatsLady - Aug 17, 2011 at 3:58 AM
I hope Shairon Martis makes it. Another guy like HRod, full of talent.
- Another MASN Ranter - Aug 17, 2011 at 1:01 PM
I see it's been a while since anyone has added a comment to this post, which no doubt means the blogosphere had moved on, so maybe it's a good place to vent. Here goes: Is it possible that somewhere in MLB there's a pre- and post-game show worse than what MASN offers? The guys doing the show (names withheld because they seem to be good guys and gals and this is not a personal attack) ramble on many times incoherently and, re the anchor guy, cluelessly. The latest very typical example: Last the anchor guy, while trying in his usual amazingly uninformed way to toe the company line and praise the Nats draft picks, says Rendon is a great hitter (true) and that his 2011 year was even better than his spectacular 2010 (NOT!). (Rendon had a shoulder problem — and had injured his ankle during the previous summer — and he had to DH in 2011 and his BA and homers were down (colleges changed bats, too), altough still good. (2) And the color rarely analyzes anything, he just offers "atta boy" stuff. His stumbling review of the game's highlights is painful to experience. (3) The gal who does the player interviews almost always merely asks how the players "feel" about something, for example, a good play or winning a game, or what a win makes a player feel. (4) And I don't understand why MASB didn't pick up Bob Carpenter's option for 2012. I've listened to a lot of baseball commentary and Bob's is one of the best, IMO. Okay, F.P. Santanglo was a great hire and he and Bob work well together. So now, along with skipping the pre-game show and fast-forewarding through the post-game show (except the manager's press conference), I now have to worry about Bob for 2012. Oy.
- Scooter - Aug 17, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Nice rant. Though I have to warn you, you might need to sound a little more crazed to really qualify as a "Ranter."I don't care for the pre- or post-game shows either … but then, I usually don't care for ANY pre- or post-game show, so I wasn't gonna watch anyway.I also skip the manager's press conference, but that's a personal choice.

Racism Quotes and Sayings
Judging someone by the color of their skin is ignorant. Their skin complexion has nothing to do with their morals, beliefs or intelligence.
No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.
– Elie Wiesel
Racism is something you learn not something you are born with.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
– Martin Luther King Jr.
It doesn't matter what race you are. In the dark we're all the same color.
Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human. It's a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated.
– Alveda King
Everyone's a racist except the blind.
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
– Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm not trying to be mean but here are somethings that I have found out:
Caucasian talk about is eating fried chicken and kool aid, and I am very sorry to say, they eat the same things.
A lot of people called the black race ugly. If you look now at the African women, they have defined face structure, and very dark skin, just like their ancestors. The most beautiful skin I've every seen. Some are models, and they are some of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen. I mean, it comes to the point where a lot of people want to look like them!
Why do they have a Caucasian person running the NAACP?
And why is that when a black man comes into office, cleans everything up for America, and still is under fire for doing the things that he is supposed to do? And Bush, the reason for this mess, was not treated like that?
Just some food for thought. Go ahead, give me as much thumbs down as you want, because I just don't care anymore.
I just don't get it. We all have organs, we eat, sing, and dance, but the color of our skin will affect the way people think. Maybe black people should just go to Europe, because the people in Europe adore black people. The Europeans are more accepting to them than Americans.
I hope you know that most of the white singers and dancers from all around the world, I would say at least half of them are inspired by African Americans. Kimbra is a great example. Amy Winehouse. Adele. Tina Marie. Gavin Degraw Ect. Do I have to continue?
Not liking a person for being annoying and just downright ignorant doesn't make you a bad person, sometimes. Until everyone finds out the person you don't like is black, then you just suddenly become a complete bigot for hating them. Why must people do this? No one really knows.
As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it – whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.
– Harper Lee
Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.
– Michael Crichton
Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.
– Wayne Dyer
The Christians might say that God was white, but in every movie God is played by Morgan Freeman.
What is it you most dislike? Stupidity, especially in its nastiest forms of racism and superstition.
– Christopher Hitchens
Just because they are black on the outside, doesn't mean that they are black on the inside.
Racist people are the true black ones. They are black on the inside, though they do not know it.
America is so racist and yet they can vote a black man president. The world's most powerful man (Obama) is a black man. Why racism?
Color doesn't matter. The brain matters.
Person's color of skin depends upon the country in which he lives. Because every country has different weather, different atmosphere.
Don't be racist, be like Mario:
He's an Italian
Made by the Japanese
Who speaks English
And looks like a Mexican.
The only place that you can see different colors together without fighting is a box of crayons.
I will always fight against racism. Be it from black people or white people bigotry should have no place in our country and opinion makers I will speak up…Let it go.
Do not judge others by race but their achievements and contributions in life.

Semester 2014A Time Distribution
The time available on each of Gemini North and South is distributed according to the Observatory partners' shares. To maintain overall balance amongst the partnership, the allocations are adjusted each semester as a result of actual time charged in prior semesters. The allocations are approved at the Operations Working Group meeting prior to the Call. Historically, around 5% of each semester's science time is used to complete highly ranked programs from the previous two semesters to which the ITAC granted rollover status.
The science time available at each telescope includes a 7% Director's Discretionary Time allocation and 1 night for instrument performance monitoring. The Director's Discretionary Time is divided into a maximum 5% share for use by staff (which is open for joint proposals with the partners), and a minimum 2% share available to all astronomers through the Director's Discretionary Time proposal process. The time available for each partner and host institution in 2014A is shown in the Tables below. The number of nights is approximated by int(hours/10).

DDP Yoga
By Chad Smart
@chadsmart & @my123cents on Twitter
Kevin has written a few
blogs about trying to alter his lifestyle and become more fit as he approaches
40 in the next couple of months. While I still have a year to go before hitting
the milestone, I myself have been saying I need to change up my habits and lead
a healthier lifestyle. The big question was how did I want to implement this
change and could I stick with it. <>>
Last August, a friend gave
me the P90X workout. I started doing the daily workouts and had a good routine
going for about two weeks. Then my chaotic lifestyle kicked in again and I was
having trouble finding time to squeeze in a workout just one day a week. Needless to say I stopped even trying
to convince myself I was going to be able to achieve the goals I had set for
myself and went back to living my normal life. <>>
As the end of the year drew
near, I started thinking about new year resolutions and with Kevin doing his
�Facing 40� series, I found a motivation to stop making excuses and follow
through with getting into shape. After all, I can�t have Kevin showing me up
in New Jersey for Geek Week. He�s the married one with kids. I�m
supposed to be the cool one. Right? <>>
Initially I had planned on
going back to P90X. I knew the workouts and they were something I could do at
home on my own schedule. The problem quickly arose where instead of staying
home at night as I planned, I was once again finding myself going out with
friends to movies or special events and not getting home until 11:00 at the
earliest. Doing an hour-long high impact workout at that time just wouldn�t
work. I thought maybe I could get up an hour earlier every day and do the
workout at 5:30. However, because I am usually awake every half hour starting
around 2am, I could never motivate my body to get out of bed at 5:30. Two weeks
into the new year and I had only done one work out. It was looking like my lack
of focus and determination would come back to sabotage me once again. <>>
One day while talking about
my lack of workouts with a co-worker, he mentioned he had just gotten the DDP
Yoga DVDs and was going to give them a try. I knew former wrestler �Diamond�
Dallas Page had come up with a yoga routine, but I had never actually looked
into finding out what it entailed. Doing a quick YouTube search, I found the
video of Arthur Boorman, a former paratrooper who went from not being able to
walk without assistance to
being able to run.
I was
intrigued to know if DDP Yoga was really that good or if Arthur�s story was the
exception to the rule. After watching some other videos and reading blogs from
people trying DDP Yoga, I decided to order the DVDs and give it a try. <>>
One of the aspects I was
most intrigued with is DDP Yoga is a No Impact workout. I was born without the
upper part of my right hipbone. As a result, my right leg is about 1.5cm
shorter than my left. It also means I have less range of motion in my right hip
and have occasional hip pains. One of the issues I found with the P90X workouts
was the amount of lunges would usually cause my hip to flare up in pain. I have
been advised by my doctor in the past to do normal activities and if I
experienced pain to stop. Basically I need to not take it too easy because I
need to strengthen the hip as much as possible. Getting back to the DDP Yoga
program, I was curious to see if I�d be able to perform the yoga positions with
my hip not having full range of motion and if the moves would produce pain. <>>
I borrowed my co-workers DVD
and went through the Diamond Dozen, which are the 12 basic positions/moves,
used in the workouts. There was only one move that I couldn�t do as well as I
had hope. With a confidence that I would be able to do the workouts, I went
ahead and order all three DVDs, bought a heart monitor and then waited for my
package to arrive. <>>
The DVDs arrived on Tuesday
and it was time to take the first step to living 90% as DDP says. I started off
with a refresher of the Diamond Dozen before moving onto the Energy workout. For about the first half of the program
I questioned if this would really work as I didn�t feel like I was working out.
By the end of the workout though, I had worked up a sweat and could feel my
body asking was going on, as it wasn�t used to being this active. This morning
I woke up and did the Wake Up mini-workout. <>>
In addition to being No
Impact, the workouts appear to be 20-30 minutes long, which will hopefully be
easier to accommodate my schedule, though I have done well the past two weeks
of not being as crazy busy. Plus, technically the DDP Yoga system is scheduled
for every other day though as DDP mentions, you can customize the workouts
depending to fit your schedule. <>>
It�s only been one day, but
given the relative ease of the workouts, the fact I�m putting this out for the
world to see so I�ll have some accountability as I don�t want to look like a
quitter, and my personal competition with Kevin, I can see myself sticking with
it and hopefully I�ll get the results I�m aiming to achieve. The hardest part
will be changing my eating habits. As a confirmed bachelor who is used to fast
food and take out, actually buying groceries and cooking meals could take some
time to become a normal occurrence. <>>
My goal is to provide
updates every 30 days. If I have success with this, hopefully it�ll help
someone else who is trying to lead a healthier life. For more information on
DDP Yoga, click here. If
you have success stories of your own or are trying to get in shape/live
healthier yourself and want to share your progress, let us know on the

Jeter missed the Yankees' 3-2 win over the Red Sox due to what manager Joe Girardi termed a tight right quad. It was the second straight game Jeter missed, though Saturday's day off was of the scheduled variety.
With the Yankees off on Monday, Jeter will get at least one more day to rest. Girardi said the quad ailment isn't serious and that Jeter should be back in the lineup when the Yankees resume play against the Cubs on Tuesday in the Bronx.
Still, any absence by Jeter serves as a reality check, for both he and the Yankees. Jeter's aura of invincibility, shattered forever when he suffered a broken left ankle during the 2012 playoffs, disappeared last year, when he missed 135 games recovering from the ankle injury as well as right quad and right calf strains.
Jeter announced in February he would retire at the end of this season and expressed hope he'd play a full campaign. And while he did play in seven straight games prior to Saturday's day off, Girardi acknowledged Sunday he may not be able to play Jeter for a week at a time anymore.
"I'm not saying that I won't do that again," Girardi said. "But I think at times I have to be aware of what's going on."
Girardi is fully aware of the delicate balance he must strike this season with his former teammate, who was the picture of stoic durability prior to his ankle injury. Girardi laughed Sunday when recalling how Jeter -- who played in at least 148 games in 15 of his first 17 full big league seasons -- would try to talk his way into the lineup under former manager Joe Torre by telling Torre he couldn't break Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games record from the bench.
"He always feels great," Girardi said with a chuckle.
Now Girardi must know when he doesn't, and act accordingly.

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

THE CONSTIPATION SENSATION THAT'S GRIPPING THE NATION!" - —Sign outside Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes[src]
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, also known as Weasley and Weasley[1] is a joke shop located at Number 93 Diagon Alley founded by Fred and George Weasley.
The shop contains practical joke objects, such as; Extendable Ears, a Reusable Hangman, Skiving Snackboxes, and Fred and George's special WonderWitch products, such as; Love Potions, Ten-Second Pimple Vanishers, and Pygmy Puffs. There is also a section of Muggle Magic Tricks "for freaks like Dad"[HP6], which are said to do steady business, despite not being big sellers. The shop also sells a number of defensive magical objects. This establishment started out as an 'owl-post service' led by the twins from The Burrow, (later continued from Hogwarts), selling joke-products until the final shop was opened.
Starting up
- George Weasley: "Harry, you help yourself to anything you want, all right? No charge."
- Harry Potter: "I can't do that!"
- Fred Weasley: "You don't pay here... you gave us our start-up loan, we haven't forgotten. Take whatever you like, and just remember to tell people where you got it, if they ask."
- — Fred and George, with Harry in 1996[src]
While still students at Hogwarts, Fred and George were inspired to develop a number of practical joke products, which they initially developed in their room at The Burrow. Their initial efforts were sold as mail-order items using owl post. Their mother discovered the orders while cleaning their room one day. She didn't support their wild ambitions, considering that most of the products that they'd created were dangerous, and wished them to get jobs in the Ministry of Magic like their father. Even though she burned the orders, her twin sons still maintained their ambition to open a joke shop. To raise money for their shop, they bet their life's savings with Ludo Bagman on the outcome of the Quidditch World Cup. They won, but Bagman paid them off with Leprechaun gold, which vanished after a few hours, wiping out their savings, and putting their dream in peril.
The Weasleys got the money for the shop from Harry Potter's un-wanted Triwizard Tournament winnings of 1,000 Galleons. Since Harry gave them their start-up loan, Fred and George allow him to help himself to whatever he wants, free of charge.
Seventh year at Hogwarts
- "We were thinking of buying Zonko's. A Hogsmeade branch, you know, but a fat lot of good it'll do us if you lot aren't allowed out at weekends to buy our stuff anymore..."
- —Fred thinking of buying Zonko's.[src]
During their last and unfinished year at Hogwarts, Fred and George tested many of their products on students, wishing to determine if everyone responded the same to their products. Gryffindor prefect Hermione Granger was not pleased.
After releasing their Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs and Portable Swamp on school grounds and defecting from Hogwarts as to rebel against Dolores Umbridge's tyrannical rule, the twins set off to Diagon Alley to fulfill their dreams of opening a joke shop, with the winnings of the Triwizard Tournement that Harry Potter gave to them.
Prior to their departure, they offered a discount for any Hogwarts students who would swear to use their products to eliminate Umbridge.
Argus Filch banned all of Fred and George's products from Hogwarts in 1996. However, as no one paid much attention to things Filch banned, this had little effect. They opened a branch in Diagon Alley shortly after leaving Hogwarts in April 1996, employing a shop assistant named Verity. They also intended to buy Zonko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade in order to extend their business. However, because of Hogwarts security being raised to the point that all Hogsmeade trips were cancelled, they saw no point to this. The twins were strict with their businesses, as they threatened a boy for attempted shoplifting and charged their younger brother Ron full price for all the products. However, they allowed Harry to take anything he wanted, free of charge, which was because of his being their investor. They also accepted patronage from Draco Malfoy (whom they hated), allowing him to buy Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, which he would use against Dumbledore's Army later, something Ron would resent the twins for.
The Second Wizarding War
In the summer of 1997, the Death Eaters seized control of the British Ministry of Magic. In the spring of 1998, it was discovered that the Weasleys had been helping the fugitive Harry Potter, and the family went into hiding. Although forced to close the shop in Diagon Alley, Fred and George continued to sell their products via mail order while at their Aunt Muriel's. Fred and George both fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, where Fred was killed in an explosion.
After the War
George continued to operate the business after Fred's death, despite never fully getting over the loss of his twin.[2] Two years after Ron became an Auror he left the job, stating that he wanted to help his brother George with a shop he had always loved. Already a highly successful emporium, together they were able to successfully turn Weasley's Wizard Wheezes into an even more enormous money-spinner.[2]

Employees and associates
- Harry Potter (Investor)
- Fred Weasley (Founder)
- George Weasley (Founder/Co-Manager)
- Ronald Weasley (Co-Manager)
- Verity (Employee)
- All employees at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes wear a magenta robe.
- The first official premises of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was at 93 Diagon Alley.
- During 1997, the founders, Fred and George Weasley were known to be looking at buying Zonko's Joke Shop after it closed. However, due to various complications such as Fred's death and the return of Voldemort, it is unknown whether this purchase was actually made or not. It is assumed that it was purchased, as the business was highly successful after Voldemort's death. If this second location was purchased, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes could also have a branch located in Hogsmeade.
Behind the scenes
- Filch's ban on the store's products did not span to Pygmy Puffs, as Ginny Weasley takes her Pygmy Puff, Arnold, in to Hogwarts.
- The Half-Blood Prince film's graphic designer, Eduardo Lima revealed that there are more than 300 names of products they had invented just for the film adaptation of "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes".[3]
- Because Harry did not give his Triwizard Winnings over to Fred and George onscreen in the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it is not clear just how the Weasley twins were able to establish Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in the first place in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- The cash register used in the sixth film was bought off on eBay.[citation needed]
- Despite the rebellious nature of some of these products, the twins were nevertheless subject to certain Ministry regulations.

Tim Neufeld, D.Min.
What programs do you teach in?
I teach in the contemporary Christian ministries program. This major prepares students to move into full-time ministry in the church and parachurch organizations through theological reflection, biblical studies, discernment, spiritual formation and ministry preparedness.
Share why you teach at FPU
I love teaching at FPU because it is a community of learners. When I enter the classroom, I attempt to create a space for learning in which everyone is responsible for the learning process. I enjoy teaching about ministry, but I also want to be a student of my students. I realize that each student at each desk has something to contribute. My job isn't just to give answers, but to pose questions and welcome insights.
Scholarly Interests
My study and research focuses on how the church in North America can authentically address a twenty-first century culture of unprecedented change. The church has largely become irrelevant to a secular, post-Christian culture. But all is not lost. God is at work, and the church must understand in new ways how it can join in the work He is already doing. A missional understanding of church leadership and theology calls for an engagement with culture in ways that the kingdom of God will truly offer hope and salvation in a postmodern context.

Therapy is an important part of treatment. Range of motion exercises will help to maintain mobility. It can also keep the disease from getting worse. Therapy may also include some stretching and strength training.
Your doctor may prescribe:
Radiation is used to prevent abnormal bone growth, mainly after hip surgery.
Surgery may be used to remove the abnormal bone and increase range of motion. Radiation and medications are often given after surgery, since the disease can recur.
HO is not well understood. If you have any of the risk factors above, talk to your doctor about any symptoms you may have. Discuss whether you need to take preventative measures.

My only issue is that you can see right through them - I assumed that they would break-up a persons ability to look through, but when light is on in the house after dark it is like they are not even there. I installed a total of 4 of them in my walk-out basement picture windows and since our closest neighbor is down the hill and through a stand of pine trees, not worried too much about anyone peeping in!
I have three of these shades and am very pleased with the quality and the appearance. They raise and lower smoothly and are very sturdy. For the price, you won't be disappointed.
This is a very nice shade for the price. I had done a lot of searching online and in stores for a simple roman shade in this size, and this is by far the best price I found. The color on the site is very true to the product...tan with shades of dark brown and cool green. The shades provide some privacy, but when it's dark out and a light is on in the room, these are fairly transparent.
Good purchase! I was surprised the quality was so decent. The shade looks very elegant when pulled up. You should know that when it is pulled up all the way, there is still about a foot and a half of coverage.
good value for the price, matched product description
Very easy to install. We put these in our bonus room. Adds great texture while still letting in some sunlight.

I too have often been very anxious about going on business trips or similar excursions, which seem to be an excuse for everyone to cut loose and to drink like there's no tomorrow, among other things. So, when I have to go away on these trips, I bring my little red travelling Big Book, which is like having my spiritual bullet-proof vest. I find I end up doing a lot of meditation in advance of these trips, like doing extra long conditioning runs before a race. Just my 2 cents, your milage may vary.
I'm really glad to hear you made it through without drinking. God Bless,

Yolk ski and snowboard helmet
Yolk is a soft helmet designed to overcome the unfashionable image that helmets seem to have with the young-at-heart on the ski slopes of the world. 'Yolk' under regular use is flexible and conformable to the user's head but when subjected to an impact it instantaneously forms a rigid shell dispersing and absorbing the energy . This is achieved utilising a semi- rigid liner and a Kevlar skin which is impregnated with a shear thickening fluid. 'Yolk' allows the user to plug in a two way radio, music player, or mobile phone to the integrated headphones and controls thereby creating a convenient and seamless transition. 'Yolk' can be fitted with of a choice of skins which can be stretched over the liner to match the user's personal style. With similar safety standards across bike riding, inline skating, skateboarding, there are vast opportunities to develop different skins for these sports using the same liner.

Gallery: Apple Unveils Exciting New Pictures of Its Foster & Partners D...
The curved building will not have a single sheet of straight glass
Not surprisingly, Foster & Partners' design for Apple's new campus is exciting and bold but pricey. It will consist of a 260,000 m2 office building that will house up to 13,000 employees, a corporate auditorium fit for roughly 1,000 people, a corporate fitness facility, and a 28,000 m2 research and development park.
Special glass will have to be developed for the circular design, which also facilitates natural ventilation, while energy self-suffiency will be achieved by an on-campus power plant. Although we're guessing Apple will go alternative, the details of how the company plans to generate its power have yet to be revealed. Work-weary employees will be able to rest in all kinds of carbon-absorbing, uplifting green respites throughout the campus which, reportedly, has already received the go-ahead from California's Cupertino municipality. Apple fans should prepare for takeoff around 2015!

That is a very constipated design but reflecting the closed and controlling nature of Apple's culture. A big round mistake.
brafft August 21, 2011 at 9:58 pm
Don't believe this green lie. There is an entire towns worth of current buildings, roads and parking,lawns and trees in this area, including some buildings that have been remodeled in the last three years. There can be no true green plan that would allow for the incredible waste that will be generated by this demolition.
This is Steve Jobs Taj Mahal, or mausoleum built to his ego, nothing more.

Is this another round of Feudal Lords and Serfs? Did not we already play this game? Ah, Aesthetics!! Yes, those castles with the pretty turrets, remember?
A great idea if majority are playing a complementary, voluntary game. Doubtful, though, on this dimension, this planet, this materialistic, status-driven culture.
I too have visions of utopian societies dancing in my head, but my visions are only inviting to those well and truly into the Buddha-like states, truly on the path to Nirvanaa.
ProfWACky August 18, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Interested to hear how a big glass doughnut is "green"
I am guessing the long bands near the freeway represent the power station.
Are they gonna knock down all those other buildings?
Ain't the greenest building the one yer in?
20 years in the previous campus seems like a short time, kinda reminiscent of the modern throw-away culture that we live in. How many I-gadgets are obsolete and in the trash, uh, recycled already?
The truth is few buildings are built with an expected life span of more than 20 years.
If Mr. Jobs really wants to create a building that a visionary like himself can be proud of, how about a flexible enough design intended to last, say, 100 years.
If there is anyone around who could do it, I should think he could. -
Trey Farmer August 18, 2011 at 5:07 pm
They will continue to use their existing campus, which is just down the street, as well as the new campus. There is a great video of Steve Jobs' presentation to the Cupertino Council here:

I love the look of the circular building; Modern and elegant.
lazyreader August 15, 2011 at 10:02 am
They spent 160 million dollars on the land. The new campus design will take 3 to 4 years, and the project cost is estimated at USD 500 million. Apple barely stayed in it's original campus for more than 20 years before deciding to abandon it. Besides the giant circle there will be additional buildings such as an auditorium, R&D facilities, a fitness center and a dedicated generating plant. It's interesting, at least they gave us better pictures than the previous blurry ones. Still all and all the building seems rather faceless and ominous. Rather intimidating for all the natural surroundings.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
ChildrensBookstore.com takes off after six years as a lingering hobby.
Jake Ball bought the domain name for ChildrensBookstore.com in 2005, thinking if he only built the site he'd get rich, he says. Six years later, after doing not much with the online store other than selling a handful of kids' books locally per month, Ball decided he must either get the businesses going or sell the domain and wash his hands of it. He chose to commit. "I was going to get serious about it, put some real capital into this thing and make it into a business," he says.
Now ChildrensBookstore.com receives 10-12 orders a day and is on track to reach 70 orders a day by the end of the year, which would make the retailer a $1.5 million-per-year business, Ball says. He's hired three employees to help create content for the site and work on search engine optimization, and enlisted vendors that handle link-building and web development, he says. By the end of the year, he expects he'll be able to quit his day job and focus solely on e-commerce.
"You can't nibble at the edges of a competitive market like books," Ball says. "You won't get anywhere. You have to jump in with both feet."
To get started, he says he found a web development company in his hometown of Boise, ID, Tribute Media, to make his site more professional and share some industry expertise. The company suggested he attend the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition to learn more, he says, so in June 2012 he flew to Chicago for the event.
When he got there, he says he felt like the country mouse in the children's fable suddenly introduced to the big city—he'd had no idea about the scope of retailers, vendors, tools and strategies involved in e-commerce. He was exposed to new software available for ChildrensBookstore.com, discovered the meaning of "SEO" and learned how to engage customers and build his business, he says.
Ball hired another Boise-based company that he met at the show, Page One Power, which builds custom links to ChildrensBookstore.com from other web sites relevant to the store and its keywords, such as parenting sites, in order to drive traffic to the retailer and raise its ranking on search engine results pages, he says. Since making those changes, Ball has seen a dramatic uptick in both traffic and sales, he says. "The month-over-month increases are now geometric rather than tiny," he says. "We're still at the beginning of this thing, but, if I stay on the path I'm on now, we'll be a serious business here in not too long—not just some goofy hobby."
Besides realizing he'd need to make staff and technology investments to build the store, Ball says he learned at IRCE that the key to success in online retail is to provide consumers with something valuable that's unavailable anywhere else. "You can't just sell cheaper than others," he says. To that end, ChildrensBookstore.com now posts daily book reviews written by Ball and his staff, along with articles for parents and teachers about literacy and getting children to read, he says. He also added to the site an Authors section that features favorite authors selected by ChildrensBookstore.com, each with their own page including a biography, interviews and a list of all their books available on the site, Ball says.
"The real goal is to create an experience for parents and teachers with good information about books they want to buy for their kids," he says. "I kind of knew it, but I didn't know how to actually do it, like what steps I could take to actually build value for my users."
Now Ball continually thinks about what features will help his customers and then works with his web developers to add them to the site, he says. "Your project is never done, you just get little milestones and have to move on to the next thing," he says. "The minute a site is 'done,' it starts stalling. If you don't innovate, you're toast."

Gio to make return opposite Astros' Feldman
Nationals lefty looks to stifle Altuve in first action in more than a month
WASHINGTON -- Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez will be activated from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday and start for the first time since May 17 against the Mets.
Gonzalez missed more than a month because of shoulder inflammation. The Nationals believe that, after two rehab starts and several bullpen sessions, Gonzalez is ready to take his turn on the mound against the Astros at Nationals Park.
"We were here [Monday] for his bullpen; he threw really well," manager Matt Williams said. "The ball's coming out really good. So yeah, it's going to be nice to have him back. He's been itching to get back too. … Health-wise, he's good."
Gonzalez will face the Astros for the fourth time in his career, and he hopes for similar success as he has had in the past -- he is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA against them. After missing more than a month of action, Gonzalez can't wait to get back on the mound.
"It's a step now in the right direction. You have to learn from your experiences, something like this, and learn to adjust from it," Gonzalez said. "My thing is just making sure that I can always stay healthy, keep continuing to do what I know how to do in the training room and working out, staying in a routine and not changing anything.
"But when something like [the shoulder] happens, you have to learn how to listen now more to other players and stuff like that. … It humbles you completely when you go out there and go into the Minor Leagues."
Gonzalez's return will come opposite Scott Feldman, who is coming off a bounceback outing. He went 6 1/3 innings on June 12 in Houston against Arizona and allowed three runs (two earned) and four hits. He struck out six and didn't walk a batter.
"I think it's making better pitches, hitting my spots better, just trying to keep the ball down," Feldman said.
Though he finished his latest outing without a decision, he had lost his previous two decisions before that, allowing 12 runs (nine earned) over seven innings.
"In baseball, you're going to have your ups and downs," he said. "I just try not to get too frustrated and keep working hard and hope that things will turn around. Hitters go through it all the time. It happens to pitchers, too."
Playing in a National League park, Feldman will get a rare chance to hit. He is 9-for-55 (.164) in his career with a home run, which came last year off Bronson Arroyo in Cincinnati while Feldman was with the Cubs.
"I really tried hard not to laugh running around the bases, but I didn't want to show up the pitcher," he said. "It's probably the highlight of my career, to be honest. I got back to the dugout and was pretty excited.
"I remember they [were able to get] the ball for me, and I've got it in my little man cave area at home. It's pretty funny. I don't think I really saw [the pitch]. I remember it was a curveball, and pretty much closed my eyes and swung. Luckily we were playing in Cincinnati, where the fences are 200 feet away."
Nationals: Span has long-awaited hit, adds another
Nationals center fielder Denard Span ended a hitless streak at 0-for-18 with an infield single in the first inning Tuesday night. He finished 2-for-4 during Washington's 6-5 victory over the Astros. Span has been dealing with back issues, which may explain his recent slump. But Williams said Span was feeling better.
"He's good," Williams said. "He's fine, just a little tight. But yeah, he's back in there feeling good."
Astros: Altuve gets job done
Second baseman Jose Altuve is the Astros' most consistent hitter. He had four hits on Tuesday night to raise his average to .326.
Altuve, who will face Gonzalez on Wednesday, seems to be at his best against left-handed pitching this year, hitting .413 against it.
Worth noting
• Although he is hitting for a low average (.234), Ian Desmond leads the Nationals in RBIs with 43.
• Astros rookie first baseman Jon Singleton has 10 RBIs in the 14 games he has played in the big leagues.

ReplyCancelJessie, young twentysomethings. But I suspect they are really shallow types.
Stuff, that's pretty much what I told her. Also, with increased cell phone and comuter use EVERYBODY will be wearing glasses by age 50 anyway, but she feels she's missed out on skiing and other fun stuff since she's had glasses for so long and loses patience very easily over this issue. Shame, because she's a pretty cool young dame. People are jerks sometimes.

Bluezz is out!
P.S. Shout out to Charlie: I stumbled upon an eye patch in Mr. Bluezz's stuff. I didn't ask WHY he had it. But between your flirtatious nature & love of cooking & the Count's various storylines, methinks Mr. Bluezz & I will be having some interesting fun times in the near future! HA! (Did I make you blush?)
ReplyCancelHey readers! Just got back from a Lady Gaga concert and checked out your pics first thing. Love all your photos and putting a face to some some of the regular commentators. Now, the two hotties umm what can I say? Damnn and number 11 is/was in my city. The pic was taken in Old Montreal and he's sitting at "Les Trois Brasseurs" brasserie on St. Paul street. I go there all the time, why haven't I bumped into him????

Product Overview
The etnies Jefferson Mid shoe takes the brand-new Jefferson up to a mid-top. That means you're getting more ankle support and the stable skating you want from a mid-top, but with all the other performance features of the low-top Jefferson: A streamlined cupsole built super narrow to create a specially shaped toe box that will increase board flick and enhance its slipper-like fit, plus a DTTF (dropped-to-the-floor) footbed for maximum board feel and control. If you prefer a low-top shoe, make sure to take a look at the Jefferson or the Jameson 2.
Details & Features
- Mid-top for more support.
- Thin padded tongue and collar.
- Heel pull for easy entry.
- One-piece toe cap for durability.
- Double-stitched Ollie area.
- DTTF footbed.
- Cupsole construction.

Carlos Terrón de Pedro my first dress-boots, very proud of it :)
DIMITRIOS CHARALAMPOPOULOS Great style...Order one size smaller than ussually
Shoes Very nice shoes! Walking the whole day, and doing things is so comfortable. I love the style. The only disadvantage is that the white sole, becomes a little bit dusty after a week, but it is easy to clean.
Philip Hatchett Love em!! Perfect for BMX
paolo81 Good shoes for every day but this model fits a bit narrow; after a couple of weeks just perfect!
Niels Mostert Size, style and price are perfect. It's just that I have a rather wide foot and these shoes are kind of narrow. So it took about 2 weeks before they were really comfortable.
kandadi GOOOOOD
AnonymousSkater Best shoes Ever great for skating in get sooooo many compliments on the style and look overall great shoe model, colours, style I personally recommend these
Steven Downie These are a little stiff, but my lord do they look sharp! I get compliments on them all the time, very nice shoes, true black top...I just hate how the white gets dirty so fast, i wish shoes would stop putting a white border on the bottom.
Overall great shoe, have to break them in, but worth the style.

Influenced by world renowned artists such as Picasso, Rauschenberg, Demuth, and Basquiat, St. John lives in the aesthetic, where the rhythm of nature is now his primary influence. Whether creating abstracts, collages, still life, or figures, he compares the versatility and variety of his artwork to the ever-changing faces of nature."I think of my art as an infusion of early abstract expressionism and modern pluralism ideals. My paintings confirm where art has been, but also creates possibilities for the future," says St. John. View all of St. John's work.
