Evan Gattis and Craig Kimbrel celebrate the Braves' come-from-behind win.
Game in a nutshell: The first of 19 showdowns between the top two teams in the NL East was a dandy, a well-played affair with plenty of big moments, some tense moments late and then ultimately disaster for the Nationals. They jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, thanks to another homer from Bryce Harper and RBI singles by Denard Span and Jayson Werth. Ross Detwiler then settled in carving up the Braves lineup for seven innings using hardly anything but his fastball. Up three runs late, Davey Johnson entrusted the final six outs to Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen (with Rafael Soriano unavailable after pitching three straight nights). Clippard got himself into serious trouble in the eighth, walking B.J. Upton with the bases loaded. That forced Johnson to summon Storen in the eighth and ask his fill-in closer to record four outs. Storen nearly came through, but couldn't finish it off. He walked Jason Heyward to load the bases with two outs, then got Justin Upton to hit a sharp bouncer down the third-base line. Ryan Zimmerman didn't really have a play, but he tried to throw to second base anyways and wound up heaving the ball into right field to allow the tying run to score. The game went into extra innings, at which point Craig Stammen served up a two-run homer to Ramiro Pena, giving Atlanta five runs in three innings off the Nationals bullpen. Craig Kimbrel closed it out in the bottom of the 10th, sending the Nationals to a defeat that won't easily be shaken off.
Hitting highlight: It seems like we're running out of superlatives to describe Harper. But every night, the kid does something thatRead more »

Nats relievers just can't seem to get it done with any degree of consistancy so far this year. Of course RZim's bad decision didn't help. To me it comes back to the relievers. Det deserved a win tonightand the bullpen failed him.
- ehay2k - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:41 AM
Just win the series boys, just win the series.
- Faraz Shaikh - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:42 AM
bit disheartening.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:42 AM
We deserved to lose. Taking out Det with ONLY 90 pitches and bringing in relievers who refused to not walk batter you are asking to lose.Third bsseman throws ball awsy for the run that ties it up. no way there was an out at secondrwo hits last 8 innings batters quit.But m formula works again. Harper 2 hits 7-0. 1 hit 0-2. 0 hits 0-1.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:43 AM
Methinks its a good idea to continue working with Henry and continue honing those arms in AAA. More than one aren't half bad.
- sjm308 - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:43 AM
Damn! nothing else to say – so disappointed in Clippard and Storen. Mark trying to stay positive but this one hurt. Goodnight all. I pity Gonat and others if you had to fend off the LOD. Who the hell is Ramiro Pena? Ouch.Off to the park early tomorrow – guessing the sun will come up but again, damn!
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:44 AM
Christian Garcia coming back will be huge for us.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:44 AM
Harper hits and with power.That's pretty much the offense except for Span getting on at this juncture.Every game is going to be like this. This is a team that features pitching, defense and athleticism first. Not big offense.
- realdealnats - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:45 AM
Some relievers go for the jugular. Some go for the capillaries.
- mick - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:45 AM
Wow, a statement game for Braves, they have a bullpen and frankly we have nobody on Kimbrell's level. Bottom of their order wins the game, top of our order goes down 1-2-3. very frustrating game. You can not walk batters, your 2 relievers can NOT throw almost 60 pitches in 2 innings and win a game. maybe tonight will be an anamolie, I hope, but I am very down on Clip and Storen reminded me of game 5 verse Cards, he had a 2 run lead in 9th and blew it. Tonight R Zim helped him blow itbut, we are 7-3 an I suspect will beat the teams we should and may not be able to beat teams like the Braves. We are a playoff team and a very good young team for a long time. I think Davey knows what the red flags are and will both Rizzo and him will correct it soon.Also, our 2-3-4 going down in order brought back memories of game 5 as well. I expected more fight after going down 6-4. that was not a good sign or an endiing
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:45 AM
Christian Garcia coming back will be huge for us.They will probably convert him into a starter. They've got guys in AAA who are going to get the call first. They aren't half bad.
- Secret wasian man - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:46 AM
This bullpen is a mess. No lead is safe anymore. It's one thing to,get beat by hits but walks. Ughhhhhhh. And Ryan Zimm c'mon with this guy. Just hold the ball. No way this team wins the division like this
- Secret wasian man - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:48 AM
Other than Mattheus do we have no lefties in the pen?
- mick - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:48 AM
Please do not blame Davey for taking Det out after 7, my goodness, the manager expects his bullpen to hold a 3 run lead at HOME!
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:48 AM
And Mick? The Braves are now 9 and 1? I know its early but that's called making a statement.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:48 AM
He went to bullpen 1 inning too soon.Bullpen is being rediculous in walking so many.I bet bull pen has more walks then Starters. I might check.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:49 AM
Mattheus is not a lefty.The Nats have one lefty in the bullpen: Zach Duke.The lefties are down in AAA (or still in X-ST) right now.
- Faraz Shaikh - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:49 AM
I just knew that everyone will be referencing to game 5. I don't think that will ever get old.

When it happens that we blown 3 saves alreay. I will blame Davey.

Peric, Nats need to bring up some guys, their BP problems could be solved

Secret W–Mattheus is right handed. Duke is left.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:51 AM
Game 5 same problems. Relievers walking people. Get a coac that demands no walks from relievers.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:52 AM
As my son said all Dets fault. Doesnt give up homer in 7thDavey might have kept him in. New twist Det's fault.
- Faraz Shaikh - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:52 AM
Do the same posters praise Davey for managing wins as much as they are at his throat for our bullpen not getting the job done?
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:53 AM
Peric, Nats need to bring up some guys, their BP problems could be solvedNo, they need to dominate in AAA (so far that is what is in fact happening) first. Then they get called probably in June. They aren't going to release Henry he's got too much talent and he is trying very hard to improve. Do you option Storen? Let him work out his kinks in AAA? That's what I was thinking in spring training. And Clippard's arm may be on its last legs … But its still early not even 40 games yet … by then we should be able to get a pretty good picture about this team and how good it is.
- mick - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:53 AM
I bet Cat is going to have some harsh words with some of the boys tonight.
- mick - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:54 AM
PericI agree with you and when I said bring guys up, I meant in June. You are spot on
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:55 AM
Do the same posters praise Davey for managing wins as much as they are at his throat for our bullpen not getting the job done?I think Davey might have trusted Drew too much by bringing him back out again … I half expected Stammen … but what did he do wrong? His bullpen clearly is not up to the task yet.
- Secret wasian man - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:58 AM
Not Daveys fault. Bullpen just stinks right now. Hopefully it improves but I am very Leary. Disappointed in Zimms decision making. Those kind of mistakes should not be made by a veteran
- mick - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:58 AM
I have a bigger issue with Clip than Storen. That was Stammen's first bad outing. Peric is right in that Clip may be on his last legs
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:59 AM
Starters have pitched about 60% of innings.starters 13 walksrelievers 14 walks.
- BigCat - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:59 AM
Davey's loss…..shoulda left Det in…..period
- EmDash - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:02 AM
That's a rough one. The bullpen problem for me probably comes down to overuse – there've been 32 innings now that have mostly been divided among 5 guys, with Soriano confined to save situations only, Duke a mop-up guy and Rodriguez not reliable. We need a sixth guy that can share some of the load.Hopefully now that the rotation's in its third go-round, starters will be allowed to go longer if they're in good shape on their pitch count. Zimmermann and Detwiler both could've done another inning in their second outings, for sure.
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:02 AM
Maybe Davey should've left Det in, but you have to be able to count Clippard and Storen to get 2 outs, up by 3. It's not Davey's fault we lost.
- BigCat - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:03 AM
FP had great points about Storen. Gotta have faith in your change-up and 2 seamer when chips are down. He gets in a bind and just throws as hard as he can. He missed the glove consistently up in the zone. I am in favor of getting rid of Clippard. I think we have gotten all we are gonna get out of him. Trade him. Det was just tremendous
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:08 AM
At least 4 people were directly responsible for loss not including Davey. Only a couple played well enough to win.
- BigCat - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:10 AM
You need to stop worrying about somebody hurting their arm. They get paid a lot of money to pitch once every 5 days. Let em frickin pitch!! Yes Proctor…..this is Daveys fault. That old coot Manuel would of just nodded off on the bench and let his players win it. You don't always have to micromanage everything
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:11 AM
No reliever under 3.003 starters under 2.10No doubt he weakness of team so far.
- baseballswami - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:13 AM
I am really tired of the Davey can do no wrong stuff. Of course he can be wrong. JZ did not need to come out and neither did Det. Stras should have be out but wasn't.Pen is struggling. But four runs probably won't beat the Barves , either. Stopped scoring very early. This really did feel like that late loss to the Barves last July- even a Friday night. Good talent on this team, but pitching management is off kilter. Defense a little random when the game starts moving fast. I suppose those of us with concerns will be branded legion of doom now. Let's see how they respond tomorrow- team AND coaching staff. Go Nats! We've got them right where we want them. Place should be rocking tomorrow.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:14 AM
Big Cat and I were texting through game and I told him when Det pulled, Davey was making a mistake as relieers blew it for Det Saturday and would do it again today, and did.Braves bullpen had no problems throwing strikes.Game 5 loss very similar to this.
- baseballswami - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:14 AM
I feel so badly for Det- he does not deserve this.
- DJB - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:15 AM
Clip is simply done. Det should have stayed in an extra inning given the use of the bullpen in the white sox series. I'm a little irritated by the MASN crew making excuses for the repetitive chokes of Clip and Storen. Now we know why we got Soriano. This team has major holes, and I'm tired of Ray Knight and F.P. blowing sunshine. Atlanta is simply a more complete team. We knew Clip was about out last year and Storen was a head case. We let Burnett go. Big mistakes that will cost us this season. I honestly don't know what the Nats can do. A devastating loss.
- Scott Margenau - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:19 AM
Look. Not all of us like Davey. But that's ok, let people have their opinions. I love this team…but Davet drives me nuts with his decisions. I love the skns, but not Shani. I don't know why people here get upset if you are in the Davey fan club…that's ridiculous. Peric! U coming around on Span? And why can't our line up be potent? I love every hitter with exception of Danny. Rather see lombo. And frankly ALR worries me, rather see a power bat of Ty mo at first.
- Scott Margenau - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:20 AM
"not" in the Davey fan club.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:21 AM
Maybe Davey should've left Det in, but you have to be able to count Clippard and Storen to get 2 outs, up by 3. It's not Davey's fault we lost.People on this site/blog seem to forget one very vital thing. Most of the Nats starters have barely completed (if that) an entire season as a starter. Zim's first was last year. Detwiler was moved back to the bullpen for Wang. Stras got shut down. Gio is the only one who has three full seasons of starting coming from the A's. Haren is the guy with lots of experience but his arm, like Clip's, may be on its last legs. After that its Stammen and Duke.The Braves have experience in Hudson, Medlen, Maholm. Minor has a full season's experience as a starter like Zimmermann. Tehran is just starting out. The Nats have a lot more talent … but a lot less experience.Strasburg isn't Rocket Clemens yet. Gio isn't David Wells yet, JZimmnn isn't Mike Mussina yet, and Det isn't Curt Shilling yet. Its just my opinion but I really think y'all need to stop expecting them to be!
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:22 AM
At the very least, the team gets it. And I think they'll improve:"Clippard on 'pen struggles: "We need to do better." Zimmerman noted defense & pitching were issues in playoffs, said #Nats need to improve"
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:22 AM
I could never play baseball even if I had the talent as I take losses to hard. At my job I expect perfection and couldn't tollerate those around who didn't expect the same. (I wish I could spell perfectly which of course I can't).I won't be able to sleep for hours replaying the walks and figuring out why the relievers couldn't throw strikes.
- EmDash - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:23 AM
I don't think Clip is done – 4 of his outings have been great, 2 bad. That could be a problem of overuse. And Storen's not a head case; before tonight he was one of the more reliable relievers and I think many here were pushing for him to be the closer over Soriano over the last few days.I still think our bullpen has a lot of talent, though they're not getting off to the best start. Nailing down roles, getting more out of the starters, and having at least six guys to spread work around to are the keys.
- baseballswami - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:24 AM
Ray Knight is a joke. He has the most giant man crush on Davey ever. He has no ability to be objective, ever. However– after checking twitter and several other sites tonight, think about this– the Dodgers expensive new pitcher got hurt in his second start and is having surgery, Reyes ankle, Stanton out, Morse broken finger. Dropping like flies. No Nat got injured tonight that I know of. Does that mean they are playing it safe or just lucky so far? Whatever- they should all be back on the field tomorrow. When does Soriano leave the team? Next week? HRod to close ?
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:25 AM
And no I am not in the Davey can do no wrong club. I still maintain he needs to put Tyler Moore in the lineup. NOW. Not 2.5 months or more from now. I realize that is also Rizzo's decision but in the end he makes out the lineup card. I contend that this could improve the XBH capability of this lineup by as much as 25%.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:28 AM
Ray Knight is a joke. He has the most giant man crush on Davey ever.If it weren't for Davey he wouldn't even be there. Davey made him his hitting coach and he eventually replaced Davey as the manager with the Reds. Without that would we even have this guy with Johnny? Well maybe since Bowden was the Red's GM and Knight an ex-Red … still …
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:29 AM
Again we are not talk 115 pitches, we are talking 90. He should 1 more inning. On the other hand I am totallt clueless the relievers problem. Only 2 have ERA in 3s. The rest 6 and above. We are lucky to be 7-3 with relieving like that. Davey keeps saying No problem. I believe that is my concern if not changed it is a BIG PROBLEM.
- Drew - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:32 AM
Tomorrow is another day, as Scarlett used to say.If you want some cheer, MLBTR linked to a blogger's interview with big Alex Meyer. He had nice things to say about the Nats organization.With Minnesota's AA New Britain squad playing Harrisburg, he said he had a fun lunch this week with his old pals Rendon, Souza and Karns.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:32 AM
Not enough mention to the fact the hitters quit. 6 hits in 2 innings and 2 last 8 innings.
- JLo - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:32 AM
All right Strass….need a CG tomorrow
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:33 AM
Rizzo will find a way to get Meyer back … just like Cole.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:36 AM
Davey keeps saying No problem. I believe that is my concern if not changed it is a BIG PROBLEM.Davey never says that … he says he's not worried. Meaning, yeah, there's problems but there's still time to iron them out. When he thinks he has a problem that isn't getting resolved he usually says as much.
- DJB - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:36 AM
I don't honestly see a solution to the bullpen. Clippard is a soft-tosser who plays up in the zone. Storen's first attempt at a save this year and he blows it, just like Game 5. He IS a head case. I don't know the answer. No one on the farm that will really work, with the exception of Garcia, who is injured. This season could be problematic. I think Atlanta takes the division and we fight for WC. Actually, Rizzo's moves don't look so good.
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:36 AM
Guys, I know the sky is falling but, we are 7-3 and on pace for 113 wins. We're coming off a sweep of a pretty decent team. We have issues we need to work through, but I'm confident we'll get there.
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:37 AM
Clippard is throwing 93 and he's a soft tosser?
- DJB - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:40 AM
Yes, he is, if all he has is a straight fastball and meatball change-up. Very little movement at all.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:41 AM
All 5 walks by relievets were involved in creating runs to lose the game. The sky is not falling, but I hate giving way wins because of walks. If they all get hits though I hate that too, I hate that less.I just never unerstood why I hate losing more than the players. Always have, probably always will.
- peric - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:42 AM
No one on the farm that will really work, with the exception of Garcia, who is injured. Erik Davis.F. Abad.JC Romero.J. Accardo.in X-ST they've got:Cole Kimball.Bill Bray.Sean West.They're not household names perhaps but its not a bad depth chart behind the bullpen. Garcia isn't on it. He's still rehabbing and they may still convert him to a starter. Then again, maybe not. He has been injured fairly consistently throughout his career. He's not someone you can really rely on after 2 TJ surgeries.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:43 AM
If Davey doesnt plan to use Dukes or HROD then cut them and put in players you will use.
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:45 AM
Duke is fine in his role. He basically replaces Gorzo. The guy we're really missing IMO is Sean Burnett.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:46 AM
I do like what Det said. He was ready for another inning.The bullpen must hate Det as he left with a 4 run and 3 run leads.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:47 AM
Dukes used 1 times other way over used. Then the plan is the problem.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:50 AM
5 of 7 relievers over 6 ERA. 3 starters under 2.10As a starters I would hate to have depend on the bullpen presently.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:56 AM
bullpen 78 pitches in 3 innings. They simple dont understand that late inning walks are usualky game changers. McCatty start working with these guys in understanding that.
- David Proctor - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:58 AM
That's absurd. Obviously, they realize late inning walks are game changers. These guys are professionals, not stupid. If it were as simple as letting them know, don't you think it'd be fixed by now? It's not like they're choosing to throw balls.
- Unknown - Apr 13, 2013 at 3:58 AM
Folks – Nats were one less gust of wind short of victory tonight – don't forget Heyward's weak foul pop that the April wind pushed just out of Laroche's reach – would've ended the game with a 4-2 win. Sky is not falling, but they are 0-5 last 5 vs. Braves and have blown, now, their 6th 4+ run lead vs. Braves since May 2011. Need to get over that hump.A lot of today was bad luck, bad decision (Zim), bats taking the game off after the 2nd, and the 8th-9th inning walks from Clip & Store.Nats will be ok. They are 7-3 and not even playing that well. And this is the give-back for the one they stole in Cincy….total luck-job win, that one. Opposite tonight.Braves are white-hot now, I'd rather my team be that way in mid-September into October.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:02 AM
Just saying giving team free runners is asking for disaster. Bullpen has walked more people then starters in less innings. Notice Braves bullpen waljrd 0 they got the memo.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:03 AM
I expect to win at lesst 100. I dont expect to lose because relievers cant throw strikes.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:04 AM
Your right about the wind. Then Storen couldn't find the strike zone.
- DJB - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:08 AM
Honestly, I think eventually you will need to remake the whole bullpen around Soriano. Clippard and Storen will be gone. Can you imagine him closing a playoff game again? Really? Keep Mattheus and Stammen, and start building arms.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:08 AM
I know thirdbase is tge hot corner, but Zim just shocked me. Play was not even close at second.Knight used to get on Desi's case for not putting ball in his pocker, but let Zim slide. 4-3 bases loaded at least would keep the lead.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:10 AM
Storen and Clippard dont have to go they just need to quit walking people.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:14 AM
Kershaw who I love is pissed because he walked a guy. That is what I like someone I can obviously can tell who cares
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:20 AM
Got to love Rick Honeycutt. He went out to reliever. Said"Quit pitching balls." Reliever said I am trying Honeycutt said, I didn't say try, I said do it." It didnt work. Face 2 walked each with bases loaded. Mattingly shook his head said Listen." At least they tried to coach. Kershaw real mad as 2 bloops and walk hurt him.
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:21 AM
I just got home from the game.It was a tough loss to take. In the 9th and 10th I had to listen to Braves fans doing the freaking chop crap in our house.Then I breezed through the comments here. Some want to cut this guy, trade that guy, others pretty much say that the manager sucks that has lead this team to respectability. And the weirdest of all, I actually have agreed with peric on quite a few points. Now, after all that, I say the sky is not falling.It's baseball. You are going to lose games through out the year, probably at least 60 of them. You don't go making wholesale changes when you're 7-3. You shake it off and go get 'em tomorrow.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:27 AM
DBack announcers say Dodgers will not win West as you cannot win with a bullpen that walk guys too often.Glad to know someone agrees with me.Off to the A's game.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:29 AM
I dont want to get rid of anyone, I just want them not give away the game on walks. Hit I wouldnt like, but walks you never have a chance to win. Hits you might field.
- zregime - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:36 AM
Took Hon to Natties Park tonight, got her the chicken strip/fries bucket, we go up early, all is cool…and then by the 7th she's cold and was was giving me multiple nonverbal signals that she wants to leave. Unnerstand, this girl is so innocent about baseball that she was so happy the Nats were killin' in the H column while being slightly ahead in the R column. (She equated hits with scores, and thought that runs were the times our guys ran to another base.) She's my wife of 31 years next Tuesday and I love her.So we leave in the 7th and I'm happy. Our Pen didn't give up an earned run through the first six games of the season, or so I read. We're cool…And then come home to find out this.I hate playing blame games but I will say this: We paid big cash for Soriano and it's curious that he gets thrown 3 times against the weak-assed White Sox when it was clear the Braves were hot outta the gate.But, on the other hand…EFF Game 5 of last year. If some of y'all want to dwell on it like a deceased loved one, your choice, but it ain't right. I like the way Span's playing, ALR will quietly do his thing again, and M-V-B, M-V-B! He's not gonna let us lose. He just isn't. We're fine.One suggestion: Lombo for Espi?GYFNG

Detwiler didn't deserve to get pulled tonight. This damn baseball mentality of pulling a pitcher because of a pitch count WHEN HE'S PITCHING WELL! Geesh! Yea, let's just give these other guys a chance to lose it. And boy, did they. The bull pen didn't implode. It exploded! Blood and guts everywhere. Espinose is definately looking better. Someone mentioned his 0-4. How about the fact he is hitting the ball and giving it a chance to do something. Better than striking out, right Zim? Harper is great as always…the best player in baseball. Yea, Nats .500 this year, but they will at least be competitive. It should be fun. Ha.

Is McCarver retired yet? D'oh! Oh, wait. I'll be at the game, so it doesn't matter. Yay!First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m., with the game televised by Fox.
- natsfan1a - Apr 13, 2013 at 11:08 AM
On a game note, I recall how nervous I used to get when Detwiler was on the bump. I'm impressed with how he has made strides and matured. Seems to have a lot more poise than he did, and get rattled a lot less. Maybe we'll be calling him "Big Game Det" one day. As for the bullpen. Well, I think it's all probably already been said (nibble nibble). Eh, let's get 'em today, boys!
- natsfan1a - Apr 13, 2013 at 11:14 AM
So, you're not perfect, then? That's okay, nobody is (including me). At my job I expect perfection and couldn't tollerate those around who didn't expect the same. (I wish I could spell perfectly which of course I can't).
- baseballswami - Apr 13, 2013 at 11:49 AM
In my own life I handle losses and disappointment gracefully. When the Nats blow a lead and lose to the Bleeping Barves I am quite the sore loser. I have been shocked to see our defense make bone headed plays and shocked to see our bullpen, more than one guy on a given might, blow leads of more than one run. Gotta stop.
- Secret wasian man - Apr 13, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Swami. The late innings are just unwatchable this year. Something has to be done. It seemed like the guys are choking. Like game 5 is always in the back or their minds.
- oscar ballestero - Apr 13, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Chop chop chop!!! Remember we are 9—1 without freeman maccan and another bullpen arm venters when they Comeback is over for the nats…….oh and just wait till we start hitting RAMIRO PENA FOR PRESIDENT!!!GO BRAVES
- Steve J, Alexandria - Apr 13, 2013 at 2:35 PM
Storen throws a fit: too immature to shinebullpen 'implodes': well, Rizzo, weakened it what do you expect?Zim's throwing error: what can you expect from a flawed fielder who's arm is now costing games.Det gets pulled: what do you expect from a manager who is stupid.
- Secret wasian man - Apr 13, 2013 at 4:45 PM
So I guess technology is so behind in GA that Oscar Has to take to a Nats blog to rant. I just hope the Nats don't wrap up the division in Atlanta. I would hate for our guys to get hit with a beer bottles
- Gabor Mehes - Apr 13, 2013 at 7:14 PM
There was always the knock on Davey that he cannot manage the late innings. He simply assigns the 7th, 8th, 9th to a pitcher and then swim or sink. He should ask Felipe Alou. He always knew when to yank his pitcher. Plus, he didn't address the fact that the team stopped playing after the 4 run lead. The at bats were suddenly short, the swings pathetic, so Teheran was still in the game in the sixth inning.
- natsfan1a - Apr 13, 2013 at 11:13 PM
Well played, sir. That is all.Secret wasian man said… So I guess technology is so behind in GA that Oscar Has to take to a Nats blog to rant. I just hope the Nats don't wrap up the division in Atlanta. I would hate for our guys to get hit with a beer bottles April 13, 2013 12:45 PM

Aquarium Specialty is setting up a new low iron glass 60 gallon cube featuring a lot of high end equipment and we are naming it the MOACC (Mother of All Clown Cubes). We unashamedly borrowed the concept of the name from Reef Builders who named our MATSA Aquarium (Mother of All Trade Show Aquariums) a couple of years back. The MOACC aquarium will house a few different anemones including a rather difficult to keep blue carpet anemone and a Rainbow Inferno Bubble Tip Anemone along with about 30 Proaquatix captive raised clown fish that just arrived today.
We will keep this going as an active blog post with updated specs, pictures and videos. Down the road we might even add a web came just for fun. To stay up to date with additions to our MOACC display please like us on facebook or feel free to bookmark the page. We hope you will enjoy our little pet project.
The photos taken on 12/12/13 are under a 16K Orphek DIF100 pendant. We will have the new "anemone" diode array sometime next week if all goes well. At that time we will be introducing the blue carpet anemone.
Here's a list of the equipment included in the setup.
- Deep Blue 60 Gallon Rimless low iron glass tank (24"x24"x24")
- Aquaroche Ceramic Rock
- CaribSea Tropical Isle Tahitian Moon Sand
- Blue Life USA black background
- Trigger 20" x 20" x 15" custom sump

Posted on 07/29/2004 4:29:59 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch
BOSTON Putting John Kerry in the White House is the immediate goal of the Democratic Party, but this year's election has a broader purpose, former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros said today.
"It is a foundational election in which we build for the future," Cisneros told members of the Texas media this morning before addressing the state delegation breakfast.
"To me, that's the most important part of what this year's about."
The message resonated with Democrats on the final day of the convention and comes at a critical time. The Democratic Party long has been criticized for lacking unity and vision, but delegates at this year's convention said that is changing.
"This is the most unified convention I have ever been to," said Rick Bolaños, an El Paso delegate and one of four Bolaños brothers all Vietnam veterans who are campaigning heavily for Kerry.
It would seem that President Bush who calls himself "a uniter, not a divider" has united the Democratic Party, some said this week.
In Texas, where Democrats lost statewide power years ago, growth and unity are crucial. The state party is trying to raise money by asking 1,000 Democrats to donate $1,000 a year for three years to build the base and mobilize new voters.
At the Texas Democratic Convention last month, nearly 60 percent of the delegates were new, said state party spokesman Mike Lavigne.
And nationwide, many Democrats said their political fervor was reignited by the unsuccessful candidacy of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean earlier this year.
"We've awakened a very dormant Democratic Party across the country, from one state to another," Bolaños said.
Conventional wisdom has Bush handily winning his home state in November, but some say the Lone Star State could re-emerge as a Democratic powerhouse in the near future.
"I think the best rebuilding of any state in the Democratic Party is going to happen in Texas in the years to come," New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson told the delegation today.
Cisneros has been a key figure in the media blitz waged by the Kerry campaign this week. The former secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Clinton spent most days rushing from radio and newspaper interviews to television stations, doing telephone interviews in between.
Although some political observers have talked about Cisneros as an ideal candidate for statewide office, he said today that he has no plans to run for office, citing family priorities.
He also has not been asked, nor is he considering, being a part of a possible Kerry administration, he said.
Cisneros Ping!
"Rebuilding year." :-)
The Dimwads have no vision for this nation, or our role in the world, but they have a vision for their own return to power and influence.
"Is Henry even allowed to vote?"
Given his criminal record who can say?
"Nobody get's in trouble for lying about sex under oath", right Bill? Ask your "friend" Henry if that is true, you fired him for it.
Hey there family man Henry Cisneros, got any long term mistresses still?
Can you say hypocrit?
He should have a prison record to go with that Harvard degree since he had his mistress lie to the FBI about his bribes to her. Instead, SHE did the time and he's addressing the DNC...pathetic. And this article fails to mention that little fact, doesn't it? Another thing that the partisan media is hiding from the voters.
No doubt. Rising from the ashes is about all you can do with ashes.
Build what? Sand castles in the sky?
Don't bet on it. I think they'll only get worse.
One can only hope. However, you are probably right.
He says this as Texas will throw at least six Democrats in the US House out of their jobs this year, thanks to the redistricting effort last summer.
Richardson's statement is almost certainly true. Currently, there is no Democrat in Texas who is the party leader or even a rising young star. There are 29 statewide political officeholders in Texas, and all 29 positions are held by Republicans.
If the Democrats ever elect one, the percentage increase is infinite. So, technically, Bill is right.
Even better, the appointment of both Bentsen and Cisneros to the Clinton cabinet started the chain reaction that caused the DemocRATS to lose every statewide elected office in Texas by 1998. There were lots of DemocRATS who thought Cisneros would replace Bentsen in the Senate and hold that seat for decades. But then Clinton appointed Cisneros to HUD. Ann Richards appointed former (almost successful) Senate candidate Bob Krueger to fill the seat till a special election could be held. Kay Bailey Hutchison surprised lots of people by coming in first in a very large field with lots of Republican candidates but only two DemocRATS. In fact she came close to winning a majority of the vote. Anyway there was then a required runoff between Kreuger and Hutchison. By this time Clinton had become incredibly unpopular in Texas, and Hutchison received over 68% of the vote.
A very good reason for redistricting last summer. We eliminate their farm team.
I thought this clown was convicted for mis-handling HUD funds. My his must be a real great mayor, the crook.
Oh sure, they can "build"...but who would want their house of sh*t?!
Democrats can still be elected to the state legislature and have some influence, especially when the 2/3rds "Rose Bush" rule is in effect in the Senate. But that's not much of a farm team since the legislature only rarely meets.
A misdemeanor conviction does not result in the loss of voting privileges. He could even own guns, and probably does, although he doesn't want you or I to do so.
Actually Cisneros pleasded innocent to 17 or so felony charges and was convicted. He was convicted of making false statements to FBI agents conducting a background investigation of him when he was nominated to the Cabinet post in 1993. They included misleading investigators about cash payments he made to a former mistress. All felonies.
Then President Clinton pardoned him along with many others in his last days in the WH.
Since he was pardoned by the grand mullah himself, I guess he can vote along with millions of other Democratic felons in this country.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Barrett's Esophagus Symptoms
Barrett's Esophagus is a severe and long lasting GERD
Barrett's esophagus has no unique symptoms. Patients with Barrett's have the symptoms of GERD (for example, heartburn, regurgitation, nausea, etc.). The general trend is for individuals with Barrett's have more severe GERD. However, not all Barrett's have marked symptoms of GERD, and some patients are detected accidentally with minimal or no symptoms of GERD.
- Heartburn is a burning sensation behind the breastbone, usually in the lower half, but may extend all the way up to the throat. Sometimes, it is accompanied by burning or pain in the pit of the stomach just below where the breastbone ends.
- Regurgitation (backup) of bitter tasting fluid is another common symptom.
The refluxed, regurgitated fluid occasionally may enter the lungs or the voice box, resulting in what are called extraesophageal symptoms of GERD. These symptoms include:
- new onset adult asthma,
- frequent bronchitis,
- chronic cough,
- sore throats, and
- hoarseness.

Santa Monica is a town in Los Angeles County by the beach. Santa Monica has a variety of people. It is mostly whites & Hispanics. North part of Santa Monica is full of rich people and celebrities. The rest of the city is middle-class and some parts are ghetto. Gangs in Santa Monica are: Santa Monica 17th Street, 16th Street, Graveyard Crips, and there use to be 21st street. All of these gangs are made up of hispanics exept for the Graveyard crips.

Small city of roughly 100,000 people that borders Los Angeles on the western side. People seem to think that Santa Monica is this bohemian paradise of a town, but, in fact, it's loaded with yuppies who take all the fun out of it. Many commonly traversed areas smell of urine, and there are homeless people everywhere. Parking is atrocious, the place is crowded as hell, and there isn't much to do except spend money, and go to the beach. Santa Monica is very overrated.
I'm going to Santa Monica tomorrow.
Oh, wow, look out for the urine smell.

The city with the most starving homeless people as well as the most spoiled assholes/bitches on the planet. Aren't we versatile?
There hasn't been a single deep thought within the entire city of Santa Monica since 1845.

Place on the western side of Los Angeles that tries way too hard to be cool, hip, in, etc. In reality, Santa Monica consists of yuppies and young professionals. Santa Monica's coolness is declining sharply as other areas in and around Los Angeles are becoming more hip.
Good luck trying to get parking in Santa Monica, beware of the urine smell that engulfes popular areas, watch out for trash on the beach, and give money to the droves homeless people.

L saw a good thing and began asking for bedtime snuggles from me after her daddy leaves her room. Here's a secret: I treasure this request. Since almost forever she's been a daddy's girl, preferring his affections and consolations over mine. I always shrugged about it but with the nighttime snuggle requests have come a new physical affection from her in the daytime, too. So I snuggle and I snuggle and don't tell her sister, L gets more than two minutes.
The lovely husband leaves L's room and we like to believe L is at least half asleep before I get in there. The deal is that she is supposed to stay lying down as the snuggle shift's bell tolls. But last night for the first night I entered her room to find her sitting up on her knees. She was mostly hidden from view, sitting as she was on her bed between the window and the window shade. She didn't notice me for several minutes (long enough to back out, get the camera, take this picture, back out again, put the camera down and return).
Sunset is near 9pm right now where we live and so maybe asking her to fall asleep in a bed next to a window is impossibly unfair. I climbed in bed with her and lifted the shade. She didn't even look at me, so intently did she meditate on the vista of our backyard.
"What are you looking at, love?"
I like the shining things.
"Those are the fireflies. Remember that word? Remember we tried catching some on Saturday night?"
The shireshlies. I like the shireshlies.
We sat together in silence, watching a thousand tiny beacons of light make merry in the shadows of our home.
And finally, quietly, we lay down together. I kissed her a thousand hugs and I hugged her a thousand kisses and I tiptoed a thousand tiny steps away and I hope her dreams shone.

Bodies Gone Haywire in a World Out of Balance--and the Cutting-Edge Science that Promises Hope
The Autoimmune Epidemic
Bodies Gone Haywire in a World Out of Balance--and the Cutting-Edge Science that Promises Hope
In the first book of its kind, journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa examines nearly 100 debilitating autoimmune diseases—such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn's disease, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis—that cause the body to destroy itself, mistakenly attacking healthy cells as the immune system fights off bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. As Nakazawa share the vivid, heartbreaking stories, including her own, of people living with these mysterious, chronic, and often hard-to-diagnose illnesses, she explores the alarming and unexpected connection between this deadly crisis and the countless environmental triggers we're exposed to every day: heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, viruses, chemicals in the foods we eat, and more.
With the help of leading experts, Nakazawa explores revolutionary preventions, treatments, and cures emerging around the world and offers practical advice for protecting your immune system and reducing your risk of autoimmune disease in the future.

If redox isusing novembers red sauce #2 (or whatever its called), the herbs and spices are moistened and nuked for 2 min at 30%. so redox likely means Microwave Assisted Extraction.
thanks gang! I learned a bunch of new stuff tonight!
redox, I use a real basic diluted puree with only several different spices.I can tell by looking at the recipe, Garvey's sauce would serve you well. There are a couple items on there you could probably omit if you don't have them and I'm sure it will still be great(the paparica and marjoram). Hope Garvey doesn't get mad at me tinkering with his recipe, I'm just trying to make this easier for you to try. Also, you could use a little extra oregano if you don't have the "Italian Seasoning blend"http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,17662.msg171274.html#msg171274

As expected - works great. Used with 2,and 4 MB SD cards. No problems.
Amazing device for SDHC. Since may PCs or older card readers support only SD, this was a super easy and inexpensive solution. Since SDHC cards are increasing in capacity you can also use this device as a flash drive. I used primarily for my camera with Micro SDHC card. Slip it into an adapter (not supplied), then into this device, plug in to USB port, download pics and done. Lot less wear and tear on the camera and battery. Can't beat it for the price.
I use these in my classroom. They are great! I tell the kids if you really want to steal them I will just buy more on onverstock for 2 dollars!
This was a replacement for another reader, that was accidentally destroyed. It works as well as others i have had. I especially like the hinged cover which cant be lost. :-)
Makes those little reader cards easier to deal with.
It works. I only use it for pictures but have never had any problems with it. I have bought multiple

What do you think of the
Gore Bike Wear Universal SO Helmet Cap
? Share a...
Sweet fit and protection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Using this under my helmet for winter training rides. Offers a great formed fit over the ears and low on the back of the neck. Windstopper works great to keep the heat retained and quiets wind noise
jason sager
Keeps your head warm
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Like the other reviewers mentioned, this is a fantastic product - fits easily under your helmet, but when you cover your ears with it, it does such a good job that its like wearing ear plugs. I tend to just keep the flaps slightly above my ear canal for most riding, and on the downhills, I'll pull it all the way down to keep the cold air out, and the sound, too.
powder addict
Keeps your ears warm.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
The Windstopper placement keeps your ears from getting blown off while the fleece allows the top of your head to vent. This is perfect if you tend to sweat a lot. Be forewarned that the Windstopper over the ears reduces your hearing a bit, and I also like the fit of the Thermo version better (more ear coverage), but it's an excellent product otherwise.

Stamp found on All (newer) Gore Product, these caps included:
"Engineered in Germany...Made in China"... end of quote.

'Inside Scoop'
Gore Universal SO (reg.) Cap,
inside detail. Weight of this cap is significantly lighter for fall/spring riding.

Universal So Caps
A must have for inclement weather.
(the Universal S0 Thermal is on the left).
5* Stars to the SO Universal Thermal Cap!
Debbie C
Universal SO vs. So Thermal
Here's some side x side pics (which don't do the Thermal justice), but you can see build, and some difference visually...wish I had a better camera! Trust me, you'll love the Thermal version, and won't regret getting it for winter riding.
The regular version is still a need for in-between seasons.
(here, the 'Thermal' is on the right side).
Notice the little 'grey slits' on the sides for your glasses arms' to fit neatly into, preventing a gap for cold air to pass into!
*Gore-Genius! Details-Details...it's all in the Details (even little ones!)!
Debbie C
O.K...Now 'kick-it-up-a notch'!
The Universal SO cap is O.K. for fall/spring, but leaves much to be desired: the top of this particular cap has no real protection/warmth...essentially, it's a head band with a top. I've both this and the SO Thermal...a huge difference!
***Pictured here is Gore's Universal SO Thermal cap (as the previous reviewer mentioned).
Outstanding fit & warmth!
Fits under my 'M' Specialized S-Works Prevail helmet with no problem. It also covers ears better than the other. Note the little slits on the sides: for slipping the arms of your glasses/goggles through, but not all the way through, there is material back behind opening so that the wind isn't going straight through to your head, nor creating a gap for wind to get in around the arms of the glasses.
Debbie C
Great "Head Band"...
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Great protection for ears, and all around exposed areas under helmet; but top of the cap is indeed very thin, and not very warm at all. I looked everywhere for the other cap (universal *windstopper SO thermal) mentioned by the previous reviewer and finally found it at a bike shop some distance away from my area...last one they had (including warehouse availability)...but soooo worth it! What a difference! And the technical design: allowing your glasses to go through the cap without creating air gaps; and so very warm. Will still wear the other version on not so cold days. If any of you can find this other cap, get it while you can (or next season if need be)!!!
Simon McNair
Gore's #1 Product in Winter
- Gender: Male
In my years at Gore, I have known one thing. You can't go wrong with our winter accessories. This is our best seller and it is killer. If you want warmer, hit the Universal SO Thermo up instead as we took it to the next level and our customers in Chicago and Minnesota couldn't be happier.

Our Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics is a high-potency formula created specifically for dogs and cats. Formulated with higher amounts of plant enzymes and probiotics needed to help your animals properly digest raw food, kibble, canned and home-prepared diets. Most other enzyme and probiotic formulations on the market do not have adequate amounts of the important enzymes that help your animal quickly and efficiently digest their meals. This is a superior enzyme formula with 13 specialized enzyme strains and the addition of 5 billion CFU per gram of 13 species of beneficial bacteria and will help in situations where there are nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, inflammatory bowel issues, autoimmune issues and arthritis - all of which can result from the poor digestion of the food your dog or cat is eating.
✓ High Amount of Proteases for Proper Protein Digestion
Our enzyme supplement has the highest amount of proteases compared with other formulas for pets found on the market. Proteins, including glutens which are a type of protein, are the particles largely responsible for inflammatory conditions in the body and food allergies when not fully digested.
✓ Plant Sourced Enzymes
Our enzyme formula uses a variety of plant-based enzymes that will work the most efficiently with your dog or cat's physiology. Enzymes from plant sources, many of which are grown in specialized laboratory settings, remain active in environments ranging from the upper stomach to the small intestine where the majority of your dog and cat's digestion occurs. Pancreatin and other animal based enzymes are secreted by the pancreas in the upper part of the small intestine. The pH in this area is generally around 7.0-9.0 and is the only environment in which these enzymes will be active. However, the acidity found in your dog or cat's stomach varies between a pH of 4-5 (in the upper stomach) down to 1-2 (in the lower stomach). The result is that the majority of animal based enzymes, like pancreatin, trypsin and chymotrypsin, will not survive the acidity of the stomach to aid your pet's digestion.
✓ An Enzyme Called Peptidase
Our enzyme formula contains Peptidase. This is a specialized protease enzyme that helps to quickly hydrolize proteins from gluten in the stomach. This is preferred because if these proteins are not broken down enough in the stomach, exorphin peptides can be created in the small intestine. Studies show these peptides can be responsible for many of the digestive sensitivities animals and people experience and even behavioral problems in children (maybe some pets also?). This enzyme is especially important for pet foods and treats containing sources of gluten, but helps to digest other proteins as well by further breaking down protein peptides into amino acids - a step not provided by other pet digestive enzyme supplements.
✓ No Unhealthy Additives
Our formula is made with all-natural, whole food ingredients. Absent are the fillers that increase packaging bulk and "flow agents" that make manufacturing faster and easier. Ingredients we avoid, but many of our competitors do not, include lactose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, stearic acid, calcium stearate, scorbyl palmitate, silicon dioxide, and microcrystalline cellulose among others.
✓ Manufactured in a USA GMP Certified Facility
Our Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics formula is manufactured right here in the USA in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards certified facility. Not all of our competitors products can state that especially those manufactured in China where these standards are not followed.
✓ Use only Human Grade Ingredients
Our products are manufactured using human grade ingredients. In the pet industry this is far from the rule as many companies use pet quality ingredients, those considered "not fit for human consumption".

*Excessive amounts of probiotics as shown in The Wholistic Pet formula, especially with a limited number of species, can cause digestive tract imbalances and GI disturbances.
Why we are Proud to be FOS Free:
Fructooligosaccharides, more commonly known as FOS, is a class of simple carbohydrates found naturally in certain plants, such as Jerusalem artichokes, onions, and bananas. Virtually, all of the FOS added to probiotic products in the United States is chemically manufactured. A Japanese process is utilized in turning white, bleached cane sugar, by the action of a fungal enzyme, into FOS - a sugar polymer that our bodies cannot digest.
In 1990, Coors Biotech, in an effort to introduce FOS into the food chain of the United States, prepared a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) petition to include FOS as a human food ingredient. As several years of FOS-safe food sales are needed before this approval, the probiotic market was chosen as an easy, nonthreatening way to get the product 'out there.' The health food industry became an ideal test market.
The addition of FOS in probiotic products is becoming a common practice. Many probiotic manufacturers claim FOS is beneficial in that it feeds friendly bacteria. Those who manufacture high-quality probiotics, however, do not believe in using FOS. Instead, their products require one important component - the valuable supernatant, which naturally and specifically provides food for the bacteria.
Prudent probiotic manufacturers are concerned with the safety issue of FOS. According to a study conducted by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) of the Food and Agricultural Organization and World Health Organization (FAO/WHO), the consumption of FOS may cause intestinal problems, such as bloating, abdominal pain, and copious amounts of gas.
There are a number of additional reasons why some manufacturers of high-quality probiotics do not add FOS to their products. They are:
As always we try to stay informed and do better than our competitors. Not just to say we do but for the health of our pets and yours. That is why we use a whole food blend of prebiotics in our Digestive Enzyme and Probioitc formula and not FOS.

Suggested Use for General Wellness
Suggested dose is 1/8 tsp per 30 lbs per meal. It is best to mix with a small amount of water first and then mix into food especially wiith kibble pet food. For pets new to digestive enzymes, begin with 1/4 dosage and work up to recommended dosage as animal adjusts.
Intensive Use for Health Challenges:
May double dosage to help deal with digestive, degenerative and numerous other health challenges for as long as necessary or as directed by a holistic practitioner.
Start at 1/4 dose and gradually work up to suggested dose as your dog or cat dispays no digestive discomfort. An animal with digestive imbalances, which are many because of the over use of antibiotics, may need to build up to the suggested dosage very slowly as their digestive tract adjusts and rebalances. This is a very powerful formula annd will help to rebalance your pet's digestive tract, which is a very good thing, but for those with a serious imbalance such as a Candida overgrowth and biofilm in the digestive tract, it may take some time and there may be signs of detox so go slow if necessary maybe even starting with a tiny pinch in each meal and building up from there.
Store in refrigerator upon arrival.
Follow the links below to view Natural Pet Health Protocols in which this product is included. We have created these protocols using our years of experience working with dogs and cats. Protocols are a group of supplements that work together to help support weak organs and glands and improve overall health. They can be very powerful at solving many pet health complaints and often result in true healing. We feel they are a much better alternative to medications that basically just suppress symptoms and often have many serious side-effects. There may be a time and place for prescription drugs, however we feel that time is after a safer and more natural approach has been tried.

Three weeks are now closing in on 2 months sober. There are days I want it to speed up and be a year, other days I think 'slow down!'. Since starting to attend meetings not one has gone by by without having a >>>>JOLT<<<<<< experience revealing my true alcholoic self. Last night's meeting my 'aha' moment was when someone read about 'Live and Let Live'. I'm living but there are a couple of people that I am definitely not letting live. So that's my assignment for the week.
I love this time in my live, it's so honest. I'm greatful for all of you here and this site.
God Bless......as usual I'll keep you posted.
