Zimmermann hopes to stay strong at home
Southpaw Miley looks to even series against Nats
In a season filled with injuries and inconsistency, Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann has been one of the few constants in Washington.
Zimmermann is one of three starters in the National League with 10 wins and he has a 2.26 ERA, fifth-best in the NL. The 27-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run in three of his past four starts and is the team's safest bet to play in the All-Star Game next month.
"I think [Zimmermann] should probably start the game," shortstop Ian Desmond said. "He's pitched unbelievable all year long, and if I were the manager, that's the horse I'd want."
"He's had, I don't know, maybe two rough outings," Adam LaRoche added. "Other than that, he's absolutely dominated."
Zimmermann has been particularly dominant at Nationals Park, where he hasn't lost a start since May 17, 2012. In eight home starts this season, he is 7-0 with a 0.92 ERA and 4.22 strikeout/walk ratio.
With a 7-5 loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, the D-backs began a brutal stretch of 20 games in 20 days that includes a 10-game road trip along the East Coast. The good news, however, is that the team is finally getting healthy.
Second baseman Aaron Hill, who has been out since mid-April with a fractured left hand, returned to the lineup on Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a double. Injured closer J.J. Putz could return later this week if his rehab assignment goes well, and infielder Eric Chavez could follow suit before the road trip comes to an end.
"If we get everybody back, I'll probably get to the point where I can start rotating guys," manager Kirk Gibson said. "I'm going to have to be a little bit more proactive in getting guys in and out [of the lineup]."
Wade Miley will take the mound for the D-backs on Wednesday. He is 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA this season and has had three quality starts in his past four outings. Miley is the last D-backs starter to earn a victory as the team is currently in a 17-game stretch without a victory for one of its starters.
D-backs: Hinske serves suspension
Eric Hinske served a one-game suspension on Tuesday night stemming from the fracas in Los Angeles earlier this month.
Hinske was originally suspended for five games before he successfully appealed the ruling, reducing his suspension to one game. While he believes that he shouldn't have been suspended at all, Hinske decided to miss one game and put the ordeal behind him.
"Part of me still wants to appeal it because I feel like I did nothing wrong," Hinske said. "But bringing it down four games is drastic. It's a pretty fair thing."
Nationals: Harper begins rehab stint
Outfielder Bryce Harper played a rehab game at Class A Advanced Potomac on Tuesday as he continues to recover from bursitis in his left knee. Harper started in left field and went 1-for-1, knocking a double and scoring a run in three innings of action.
Manager Davey Johnson said Tuesday that Harper will likely not return to the Nationals before next week's series against the Brewers. He is expected to play at Potomac through Thursday and then spend the weekend with Class A Hagerstown.
Worth noting
• The D-backs have a cumulative .340 batting average against Zimmermann in 47 combined at-bats.
• With a single in the second inning on Tuesday, Martin Prado has now hit safely in 12 of his past 14 games against the Nationals (21-for-57).

North Grove School
North Grove School, 3 miles northwest of Sycamore, was built in 1878 by the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church as a parochial and Sunday school. Pupils of diverse ethnic backgrounds learned their lessons in Swedish, even several years after the DeKalb County public school system purchased the school in 1880. The Sycamore unit district acquired the school in 1949, and it continued as a school until 1952, when it was closed. The North Grove community continued to lovingly maintain the building and used it as a neighborhood social center for many years. Classroom in School Upon the closing of North Grove School in 1952, all furnishings were removed. However many furnishings from old Sycamore schools were still in storage in the 1960s when the Natural Resource Center in Genoa began using the site for special education programs. The school was refurbished and re-supplied using these furnishings, with additional period pieces being donated by private citizens. In 1970 North Grove School at 26745 Brickville Road (Map) was listed in the Illinois Directory of Historical Buildings. On May 24, 2012 the United States Department of the Interior placed the school and its outbuildings on the National Register of Historical Places. Today the school is still owned by the Sycamore School District but is leased to and lovingly cared for by the North Grove School Association, whose goal is to preserve this educational icon for future generations.
Sycamore Public Library
Although the Sycamore Public Library did not open its doors until 1892, we can trace its roots back to 1875 when a Chautauqua Scientific Circle was formed in Sycamore. Once members had completed the course, they established the Athena Literary Society in order to form a public library. Over the course of three years they raised $700 and asked city council to appropriate money for books and that the mayor appoint a board of directors. On July 12, 1892, the Sycamore Public Library opened in Hoyt and Rogers' Store, second floor, in the backroom. This building now is occupied by Marlyn's Majorettes. The City Council appropriated $800 to purchase books. The Athena Literary Society assisted with funding the library for the first two years. Miss Flora Jeannette Dow, a member of Athena, was the first librarian. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie offered the City of Sycamore $10,000 for the construction of a library, provided an acceptable site could be secured and that the Sycamore City Council would annually appropriate at least 10% of his donation for maintaining the building. Mr. Frederick B. Townsend donated the property where the library stands today. Miss Dow received the honor of placing the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone on May 24, 1905. Over the next 90 years, several renovation and remodeling projects took place and then on October 14, 1995, a new era of growth began with the groundbreaking ceremony for the library expansion. Today we are looking at ways to serve the community's needs by providing the best possible services and programs available.

JjRogaine & Store Brand Works WellI started using Rogaine at least 9 months ago and I am a 42 year old female who has hereditary thin hair and it really got bald around my crown and temple areas before using Rogaine. Rogaine worked to regrow my hair after about 2-3 months and I started using a comparable store brand which was much cheaper but continues to work just as well. My hair has completely regrown and I am even getting some length to it now. Yes, my scalp is very itchy but I also have scalp eczema so I take hair vitamins (Nioxin) and get tea tree oil treatments which really work well with the monoxidil in Rogaine or the store brand.Absolutely worked for me!posted Jul 27, 2006Link to this post
SeanBad Product!Dont buy this product! You lose your hair during the treatment, your scalp becomes extremely itchy, etc. Once you stop using it, the area that had lost hair due to the treatment never grows again.posted Jul 23, 2006Link to this post
AprilUse The Stuff For MenWhy waste your money on the "womens" product? The mens product is the same stuff only stronger (2% minoxidil for women, 5% for men). I can use the mens product once a day at bedtime and it works better than using the womens product twice a day. If I get too itchy, I can cut back to once every other day for a while -- but if I stop altogether then all the new hair falls out and I have to start over.posted Mar 1, 2006Link to this post
BevNew JerseyMiracle In A Bottle..I just started using Rogaine about a week and a half ago and ive noticed a tremendous difference. its absolutely amazing.. not only is my hair thicker but an area that i was particularly concerned about has almost fully grown back!posted Dec 7, 2005Link to this post
JuliCTIt Does Help!I have found that my scalp itches more if it is dry when I apply the Rogaine, so I have been using it only once a day, right after I have washed and towel-dried my hair. I then rub it in with my fingertips, and comb my hair as usual afterward. Since I have been doing this, my hair loss has slowed way down, and my scalp in the front and top is much less visible. I have had hair loss since my early 20s, and was about age 42 when I started using Rogaine. I am pleased with the results: I no longer feel that my hair loss really stands out, and thats whats most important to me. Rogaine has not totally restored my hair, but it has given it a much more normal appearance. That any product can do this at all is amazing, and I am one grateful customer!posted Nov 14, 2005Link to this post
MaryanneSouth CarolinaWaste Of Good MoneyThis Rogaine junk does not work for me. My scalp was so itchy and burning that I had to stop applying it after just a week of usage. It did not even grow a centimeter of hair. What a disapointment!!posted Sep 12, 2005Link to this post
Nancy BNCNot Sure It Was Worth ItI used it for 7 months and it may have stopped loosing hair but no new growth. Its just too expensive and does cause an itching. Would continue it though if I could afford it. MBposted Aug 8, 2005Link to this post
KittySan Francisco, CABad ProductI have used this product couple of weeks and nothing change except my scalp got itchy and the hair thinning problem got even worst than before. Dont buy it if you have sensitive skin on your scalp.posted Aug 3, 2005Link to this post
KellyRogaines Up And Downs.Im 39 years old woman, like Elaine in a earlier review. I also started using Rogaine when I was about 25 years old. Back then you needed a subscribtion and it was about $50.00 a bottle. Rogaine does help by making you hair loss come to a kind of standstill. Basically it prevents it in my experience from getting worse. What happens in hair loss is your hair life span starts to shorten, and you shed your hair shafts faster. They come in shorter and thinner and eventually not at all. Rogaines never really gives you back the length and thickness you originally had. But you get some hair. But they are short baby hair. When you hair does start to thicken, then its harder to get the Rogaine on the scalp. So then youll shed allot. But like I said I do believe if I had never started using Rogaine my hair loss would be worse. Make sure you see a dermatologist too.posted Mar 25, 2005Link to this post
Kari From WiTerrific!Ive been using Rogaine for almost a year now, and Im so happy I could cry. Everyone I know has noticed the difference. I have more hair!posted Jan 14, 2005Link to this post

A pleasantly boring town in western Montana. It is probably the most culturally diverse town in Montana. The University of Montana is located here, and the general population is obsessed with going to Griz (mascot) football games. Also it is famous for it's hippies. It has 2 Walmarts. Oh and, a river runs through it.
We're going to a Griz game in Missoula, and we're going to get totally wasted.

A wonderful city in Western Montana where you can get high as a kite for $5, bike like a fucking maniac and go to a killer house party all in one day. Lots of hobos that are very fun to have casual conversations with, and a pretty decent football team. By far the most liberal town in montana with the most hot people.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
Fixing Mrs. Flinger Feb 20, 2015
I'm currently working on this website. I want to add back the links to blogs I love, some ways to find content easier, and put in archive, at last, some of the ancient articles. Come back to see updates.

#Life#The Flinger Family#Working Mom
Alternate Titles: 1. When your priorities are all effed up. 2. Pondering ways to move the earth's orbit so days are 31 hours each. 3. I have a blog??!?!?!?!?!!11111!?!? Years ago Mr. Flinger and I found a book called "Burnt Toast" while dragging our new 3 month old daughter around Powells in Portland. Forgetting that it was written by a pretty famous actress who probably never struggled with baby weight five, no six, years after her first child was born or had to wander the bookstores at 10PM because HEY WHY NOT WE ARE ALL AWAKE, the book made an impression on us both. Having only read the excerpt of the book from the flap, we still talk about how easy it is to give your priorities to things other than what you find important: your family, your health,...

I've had a partial written summary of my time in Austin at SXSW for over a week. As I'm not one to over edit anything (if you read me very long you'll probably call out grammar issues and typos in comments) it is a puzzle to me why I didn't just hit submit when I finished writing. Maybe this is called "Personal Growth." Or laziness. Since coming home I've been in such a funk, such a god-awful-terrible-no-good funk, Mr. Flinger is threatening to ship me back to Austin permanently. I've talked to my co-workers about our time there, each who managed to write about the experience. We reflect on the talks, the discussions over coffee, bacon, and port. We reach back in the archives of our notes pulling bulleted items back up trying to apply... Read moreDon't have me, but Mar 04, 2011
In a possible "entirely too much transparency" moment, I have to confess: I've been thinking of three. THREE. Babies, that is. I was pretty sure my clock had plumb run out of ticking. I was pretty convinced being pregnant was NOT IN MY CARDS EVER AGAIN OH DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT ME THAT WAY UH NO. And now? Now? I have the baby fever again. My husband is taking cold medicine to prevent that from spreading. I was sure we were done. I am sure that we're done. But oh, OH, Internet, we make such adorable children. Adorable Littles who do not sleep. For. Years.

I remember visiting a family friend in Dallas when I was 10. I flew, on a plane, alone, to spend four days with their family. Looking at this now, I can not believe they let me go. My mother planned ahead and mailed a letter to me, most likely days before I ever left. It arrived on the second day of my stay. The bottom of the letter was signed, "love ya, Mom." That closing made me ache in homesickness. It spoke more to me about my mother than most of the letter. It was exactly how she spoke. "Love ya." It is not "Love YOU," just "love ya." Twenty five years later, in Dallas, my husband emails me a simple reply to a question. We've talked multiple times a day during my stay, have access to each other in ways not conceived of in 1985....

I'm humbled and honored to have had my blog be a finalist in four weblog awards since its debut in 2003. Since then I've had the opportunity to speak on writing topics such as Prompted Writing, Story Success, Keeping Your Audience Engaged, and Mom Bloggers and Brands. Writing is a passion so I take every opportunity to inspire and be inspired. I pioneered a project for bloggers to get feedback from peers and inspire each other to write creatively. In the wake of two full time jobs, it didn't last as long as we'd like but the plan is to one day resurrect the Write-Of-Passage. Read moreToday I lost my Mom Black-belt Feb 24, 2011

It's been a day. You know how people say this, "It's been a day," and nobody ever says, "oh, what do you mean?" It's like The Pill. Someone says The Pill and you know that means THE PILL. Not headache medicine, not Vitadmin D, but THE Pill. It's been a day. And while I can certainly give you details, let's face it: You KNOW what that means. There's a list of things that started out great and went to crap. Quickly. There's a joy and a sorrow of working at home. It's that on one hand, you can do a podcast for work while wearing a snuggie. On the other hand, if the children don't have school because of snow, you might end up seeing something akin to a nuclear paint explosion in the family room. Just for fun,...

It's funny the things people will say when you enter a difficult situation. My family was uprooted from the upper-middle-class subburbs of a major metropolitan city with 300 days of sun at the end of Jr. High. We settled in a mill town in a small rural area of a state that sees 30 days of sun a year. The entire time my parents sang chorusses of "But you can remake yourself! You can be anything you want! You get to start fresh!" Dude, I was 13. I was fresh. I had no idea who I was in the first place. Also, these people don't peg their pants like we do and why aren't they wearing neon? Did I mention it was 1989? Similar in a way only I could make the metaphorical leap, learning Java in grad school brought me to tears. I remember telling people I'd rather have sharp pins...

#Life#The Flinger Family#Working Mom
People so often lump a person's "core" within boxes. Boxes of artificial labels society places on ideals. "Republican." "Pro-Gay-Marriage." "Working Mother." "Christian." "Athiest." Our values in my family are above labels. They are paragraphs of ideals, gray areas of judgement. They are curated over years and formed through connections. They are intangible but visible. Between work and family and bills and co-workers and clients and rainy drizzly days and sick kids, it becomes rare if not impossible to have those conversations. The lists stack up, the mail remains unread, the dishes grow hard with food someone didn't finish. Perspective is lost and ideals get boxed. Identities fail. Within that space,...

#Life#Best Of#Things Kids Say#Those Little People
My children were playing "little fucker" at Home Depot? Now, look, before you get all judgy, let me just preface this with a post I wrote two years ago to prove I have no idea what I'm doing as a parent. Ok? I had a plan. I had a theory. That theory sucked. In retrospect, the "time and a place" mantra could work. Teaching your children that anyone can say anything as long as it is the appropriate time and place is rather discerning. I don't want to shield my children from the world but would rather teach them how to navigate the gray areas of society including cussing, standing up for oneself and when an appropriate toilet joke is funny. I guess at 5 and 3 they're not discerning yet. Case in point: Mr. Flinger and I took the entire family to... Read more

Six near end of term, three want out
Fiegen seeks sixth term
With five city councilors nearing the end of their terms in office and three not seeking reelection, the Dell Rapids mayor could be forced to make a few appointment if no one steps up to fill the seats.The two-year terms of Dell Rapids City Councilors Todd Wiebenga, Keith DeLange, James Rueckert, Mark Downs and Carrie Testerman are up in May. Weibenga, DeLange and Downs stated last week they will not pursue another term, citing time constraints and family as a contributing factors."I started working for the school district about two and a half years ago," Wiebenga said. "My Monday nights are getting kind of precious to me."With two teens at home, Wiebenga, a five-term councilor, said his families window to spend time together is closing."I'm not going to have too many more years where they're going to be around the house," he said.Now in his third term, Downs decided not continue serving on the council for similar reasons."The kids are getting older and life is getting busier," he said.Never anticipating a long stay on the council, DeLange said after each of his three terms, he had hoped someone else from his ward would step up. That never happened, so he's approaching the end of his fourth term as well."I've never gone through the formal process of filling out a petition. I don't plan to this time either. I was hoping to someone would," he said. "I've talked to a few people in my ward about running but I haven't convinced anybody to do it at this point."Downs said also that if no one steps up, he will consider continuing to serve, but hasn't made up his mind."I'd hate to leave the council in limbo and not have a representative for our ward," he said. "It would be something I'd need to think long and hard about first."City Administrator Justin Weiland said no petitions for candidacy have been requested through City Hall and was unsure if any one had requested petitions through the Secretary of State Office.Now in his fifth term and his third consecutive, Mayor Scott Fiegen will pursue another four years in office. Dell Rapids mayors have historically served two-year terms, however, recent changes to council and city bylaws extended the mayor's term to four years.Fiegen said in the 10 years he's been in office Dell Rapids has undertaken some major projects, like the main street road project and 15th Street reconstruction, all the while giving him valuable experience that he said will serve him well as he continues to serve as mayor."I've been doing this for a little while. I think I'm well in touch with the people of the community, and I think I make fair decisions," he said.Above anything else, Fiegen said he tries to provide an inviting municipal atmosphere for the citizens of Dell Rapids. "I try to be fair. If somebody wants to come to a council meeting and speak about something, I let them talk, I don't limit their time. I let them speak their mind," he said. "I don't try to edit anything. Sometimes it's not popular with others but people want to be heard."Councilors Carrie Testerman and James Rueckert also to maintain their seats on the body.Testerman, now in her third two-year term, said she'd like to see the council take a more proactive roll in attracting businesses to Dell Rapids."I'd like to see businesses, new businesses brought in to Dell Rapids," she said. "I think the council could work hand in hand with the development committee to bring new businesses to Dell Rapids."Rueckert said he hopes to see the library renovation project through to completion and be a facilitator in reaching a compromise between the Library Board and the city council.In the same resolution that extended the mayor's term, councilors' terms were extended from two years to three years, as well.
