Posts: 4757 Thanks kindly for those wishes, folks, and for pms and messages. As mentioned to a few already, I somehow doubt my present presence will be other than intermittent or fleeting due to horrendous time contraints - if I tried otherwise right now it would be a pre-sense pretence but.
In case I'm not around, let me get in early with love and best wishes for seasonal cheer to you all in whatever way you choose to mark or ignore it!

Text: Frederik Amundsen
We are at the top of the Jostedalen Valley, in the Sognefjord area in Fjord Norway, ready to walk on the Nigardsbreen Glacier. This is just one of several arms of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, which is the largest glacier on mainland Europe.
A five-minute boat ride takes us from the car into the foot of the glacier, where we put on the equipment.
Jos Henrichs (61) from Veldhoven, Holland is a big smile. He has travelled the Fjord Norway area for about a week.
- All the nature attractions are so available to us. We don't need to do much to experience them, he says. He and his wife have been to the Preikestolen Mountain in the Lysefjord, and travelled north to the Sognefjord area.
We hike uphill for about an hour before we reach the really beautiful part. The group counts a couple from Sidney, Australia, who travelled around the world to experience the Norwegian fjords and mountains.
Three younger Japanese women can't stop laughing as we walk up the glacier, and a young Belgian father looks concentrated.
We are on a two-hour hike, just to experience what it is like and get the adrenalin pumping for a short time. There are several hikes and difficulty levels to choose from, ranging from very easy to advanced, some walks at the Nigardsbreen and more options at other arms of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier.
When river rafting down the Jostedalselva River the next day, we were to meet a group of travellers from Sweden, France and Lebanon, who went for a ten-hour walk on the glacier, not regretting a second of it.
There are daily walks available at different parts of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier from May to October. The short walk at Nigardsbreen is available in July and August.
The price for this short walk is NOK 200, equivalent to approximately 25 Euros. The price varies according to the length and difficulty levels, reaching NOK 890 for a ten-hour hike on the Tunsdalsbreen Glacier, which equals approximately 110 Euros.
Minimum age for the short walk is six years old, and you have to be 12 to join the most advanced hikes. You do not have to be an experienced hiker to try this. It is safe when going with a local guide.
Travelling to the Sognefjord area by bus or car is a two to three-hour drive from Bergen, four to five hours from Oslo and five to six hours from Trondheim. There are several boats and ferries on the Sognefjord and there is an airport in Sogndal. Find detailed travel information.
There are camping possibilities at Jostedalen Camping and Lyngmo Gjestehus & Camping. Jostedalen Hotel is a good and affordable place to stay. The luxurious options are Walaker Hotel, or Tørvis Hotel, a half hour drive away.

- This must be one of the most easily accessible glaciers in the world, says Jos Henrichs from Holland on our way to the Nigardsbreen Glacier.

4/5We bought the promenade with the intent that we would have baby no. 2 in the near future. So 2 years later the stroller is still sturdy and going strong. The second kit just arrived and we love the convenience of it. Would get 5 stars if it collapsed with the two seats. Otherwise my toddler loves riding in it and looks totally comfy. Great product.

"Italian Americans at Bat" is a must-see before attending the 2013 WBC Finals in San Francisco
Americans have played baseball in the majors
since 1897? The San Francisco Bay Area produced many of baseball's pioneers and originated the
sandlot playing field in the 1860s. In fact, the
earliest West Coast games were played downtown
on a sandlot where San Francisco City Hall stands today–nearly a century before the Giants and
Dodgers arrived in 1958. So it's most appropriate Italian Americans at Bat: From Sand Lots
to the Major Leagues, a lavish documentary
exhibition of baseball memorabilia celebrating
the vast contributions of Italians Americans to
baseball, be on display for FREE in Reno, Nevada
at the magnificent Arte Italia through May 19th.
Located at 442 Flint Street, Arte Italia is open
Thursday through Sunday from noon to 5 PM
(www.arteitaliausa.com). The chronologically-
arranged exhibition was originally curated by
the Museo Italo Americano, the Italian American Museum of San Francisco, which explains why
there is a strong emphasis on Bay Area teams. However, it plays out perfectly for the climactic
finish to the showcase: an autographed cap
and jersey worn by 2012 World Champion
San Francisco Giants' lefty starter Barry Zito,
who won the opener of the 2012 World Series.
The exhibit's co-curator, writer and historian Lawrence DiStasi of Bolinas, has loved the game since rooting for the New York Yankees as a child and playing baseball in the streets of Connecticut. In addition to writing all the text panels for the exhibition, DiStasi weaves together ideas, stories and statistics to depict the Italian American experience. There is a timeline of the years 1845 to 2012, which includes historical points of baseball and Italian immigration into the United States–and most importantly when those two histories intersect. The exhibition highlights several decades: the early days of redefining cultural stereotypes, transcending national barriers in the 30s and 40s, improbable triumphs of the 50s, 60s and 70s, the pride of the modern era, and a dominant presence in the Hall of Fame. Joe DiMaggio is the coveted star of the exhibition, and his 56-game hitting streak in 1941 is accented by DiStasi's text panels which document each hit recorded in the "Dimag-o-Log" that SF Chronicle ran in the Sporting Green every day. Joe DiMaggio, along with his brothers–
Dom and Vince, Tony Lazzeri, Frank Crosetti, Babe Pinelli, Ernie Lombardi, Rugger Ardizoia, Billy Martin and Jim Fregosi are among the celebrated Italian American players with strong baseball roots to the Bay Area.
Undoubtedly Italian Americans have made important contributions to the game, but
perhaps just as poignant is the profound
effect baseball has had on the Americanization of Italians. Faced with Italian-born parents who opposed his participation in pro baseball and regarded the sport as juvenile as well as not the wisest career choice–Ed Abbaticchio, probably the first person with an Italian surname to play professionally in 1897, was offered a hotel by his father if he would stop playing baseball. Despite the temptation, the ballplayer refused the bribe and pursued his passion for the game. However, some could not withstand the pressure and caved in to discriminatory bias and the constant ridicule sports writers bestowed upon Italian names. Among them was Francesco Pezzolo, who chose a California mining town as his name-sake and became Ping Bodie–the big league center fielder who played from 1911 to 1921. Italian Americans at Bat: From Sand Lots to the Major Leagues traverses the U.S. cultural landscape and documents an ethnic group's rise from adversity by celebrating its triumphs in breaking into a sport dominated by English, Irish and German immigrants. However, even the game's greatest stars had to contend with deep-rooted prejudices and stereotypical misnomers. A May 10, 1939 Life magazine cover story on Joe DiMaggio was laced with gross innuendos: "Instead of olive oil or smelly bear grease he keeps his hair
slick with water. He never reeks of garlic and prefers chicken chow mein to spaghetti."After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States declared war
and began targeting those of German, Italian or Japanese descent. The Italians were the largest immigrant group in the U.S. at the time and about 600,000 of the country's five million Italian immigrants who had not yet naturalized were forced to register as enemy aliens. Required to carry photo ID booklets and surrender flashlights, shortwave radios, guns, binoculars, cameras and other "contraband," Italian enemy aliens were subject to FBI raids and nightly house arrest with a curfew from 8 PM to 6 AM. Noncitizens could not travel more than five miles from home without a permit. Lawrence DiStasi, author of "Una Storia Segreta: The Secret History of Italian American Evacuation and Internment during World War II", reports that 10,000 Italians in California were evacuated, mostly from coastal areas and sites near power plants, dams and military installations. Ironically, the half-million Italian Americans serving in the U.S. armed forces at the time of the crackdown were the largest ethnic group in the military. Of the 257 Italians put in internment camps for up to two years, 90 were from California. Fishing boats were seized, and thousands of fishermen lost their jobs. In San Francisco, 1,500 people–including Joe DiMaggio's parents–were idled. "The opportunity to showcase the adversity and accomplishments of legendary Italian American baseball players is one we welcome and relish," said Kristen Avansino, President and Executive Director of Arte Italia. "For them, it was a way to integrate into the American way of life," added Arte Italia Program Director Annie Turner. The exhibition brings home
the message that baseball allowed Italian Americans to assimilate into popular culture:
"This most American of sports became a quick way to counter that negative immigrant identity as an outsider." Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra, Rocky Colavito, Roy Campenella, Ron
Santo, Carl Furillo, Joe Caragiola, Sal Maglie, Tony Conigliaro, Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre, Tony La Russa, Mike Scioscia, Ken Caminiti, Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza, Mike Napoli and
former Commissioner of Major League Baseball Bart Giamatti are just some of the legendary Italian American baseball ambassadors that have etched their names into U.S. sports history forever. Italian Americans at Bat: From Sand Lots to the Major League pays tribute to their contributions, and those of over 400 others who have left their unique imprint
on the game. Currently on display in Arte Italia's upstairs Michelangelo and Leonardo
da Vinci galleries are vintage jerseys, a plethora of memorabilia–including classic baseball cards and autographed baseballs, press clippings of career milestones, an interactive
touch screen computer database featuring memoirs, stats, and career highlights of
Italian American players and 14 World Series Championship managers as well as
over 200 archival photographs of some of the greatest moments in baseball history. With game one of the WBC Semifinals beginning Sunday evening, March 17 at San Francisco's AT&T Park, fans have plenty of time to see the Italian Americans at Bat Exhibition at Arte Italia. You might even find Team Italy downstairs eating an inspirational pre-game meal prepared by Master Chef Paolo Sari, who has created three distinct regional menus reflecting the culinary traditions of Joe DiMaggio (Sicilia), Tony Lazzeri (Toscana) and Frank Crosetti (Lombardia). Buon appetito! Forza Italia!! Forza Azzurri…

Unbeaten Falcons dominating the turnover battle |
Written by Admin |
Wednesday, 10 October 2012 11:03 |
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - When the Atlanta Falcons gather in the meeting room at the beginning of each week, they can always count on coach Mike Smith putting one thing on the board. Turnover margin. Smith has made that a priority during his five years as coach, and the Falcons are sure following his lead this season. Atlanta is 5-0 for the first time in franchise history and has a plus-10 edge in turnovers, tied with the New England Patriots for the best mark in the league. The safeties are leading the way. Thomas DeCoud has four interceptions, while William Moore has chipped in with two picks. Both give credit to new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, saying he has done a good job of disguising coverages and allowing everyone to play to their strengths. |

A Matt (or just Mat) will make the best boyfriend/guyfriend ever. With their big brown eyes, and heart-melting smile it's hard not to fall for them. They are different, in a beautiful way. Even though they've had a bad past, you'll never know it. They are really strong people, and they change for the better. They are there when you need them, and they value their friendships. They like to look good, and dress well. Handsome, and charming. Very successful at life, make great Dads. Known to be players but when they meet that special girl, their sold. Matt's come off as tough and solid, but deep down, their soft side comes out and you see the sweet gentleman in them. They're not popular, but not a loner either. Friends love them, and guys want to be him. They have a really laid back attitude about themselves, but at the same time they can be the life of the party. Even though they can be a jerk at times, they mean well and are really the nicest guys ever. If you have a Matt, don't let him go. None other compares.
Look at that Matt over there. He's so handsome.

Matt is this amazing guy. His heart is full of so much love. Once he lets you into his heart there is no escape. If you are that lucky person to get captured, make sure you never let go because he is everything you will ever want.

Omega-3 SLIM (60 softgels, 30-day supply) | Weight Loss Supplements
Item# OMW
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
Omega-3 SLIM® helps you…
- Lose weight
- Reduce body fat percentage
- Safely increase metabolism to burn more calories
- Maintain steady blood glucose levels
- Plus, it's stimulant free and safe with heart medicines
- And so much more…
Did you know that even a few excess pounds can impact your heart, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and more? That's why I've always encouraged my patients to maintain a normal weight and waistline by living a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, even when you're doing everything right, there are two distinct roadblocks that challenge many people who are trying to lose weight—a slowing metabolism and blood sugar swings that can lead to low energy and unnecessary snacking.
So I went to work to develop Omega-3 SLIM, a ground-breaking nutrient combination that conquers both of these roadblocks and is stimulant free, with no known contraindications with cardiovascular medications.
Omega-3 SLIM gives you 3 powerful, research-based ingredients for extraordinary heart-healthy weight loss
GreenSelect® Phytosome—Shed pounds by boosting your metabolism
GreenSelect Phytosome is an extremely powerful and highly absorbable decaffeinated green tea extract. Clinical research found that it not only helps increase metabolism so you can burn more calories, but it also helps increase lean body mass and reduce body fat percentage, which are both important for your heart health.
In fact, study participants who took GreenSelect Phytosome lost an average of 30 pounds over the course of the study, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.1
GlucoHelp® Banaba Leaf Extract—Steady your blood sugar levels
GlucoHelp is a special extract of the Philippine crepe myrtle, or banaba leaf, which contains a number of powerful antioxidant compounds and is standardized to help steady blood sugar levels.
In human clinical trials, participants taking daily oral doses of GlucoHelp experienced a statistically significant reduction in blood glucose levels and significantly improved glucose tolerance.2,3
In other words, this powerful, natural compound helped to minimize glucose spikes and dips, which may lead to low energy and snacking and make weight loss more challenging. I made sure to include the same, proven research dose in my Omega-3 SLIM formula.
Calamarine® Omega-3 Oil—Supports heart-healthy weight loss
I rounded out my Omega-3 SLIM formula with DHA-rich Calamarine oil. Richer in DHAs than ordinary fish oil supplements, Calamarine Omega-3 Oil provides the critical omega-3s your cardiovascular system needs to support heart-smart weight loss. Supportive, but not conclusive research, shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Enjoy better results from your weight loss and heart health efforts with Omega-3 SLIM
If you're committed to a healthy diet and regular exercise in order to control your weight and support your heart…why not enjoy better results from your efforts?
My Omega-3 SLIM formula can help you lose up to three times more weight than you'd lose with diet and exercise alone. And it helps you reduce your body fat percentage, which is important for a healthy heart. Plus, Omega-3 SLIM helps steady blood sugar levels and includes abundant DHA omega-3s to nourish and support your heart. It's the only supplement you'll find that works as hard as you do for heart-healthy weight loss. With Omega-3 SLIM you'll be shedding pounds quickly, in a way that is healthy, sustainable, and GREAT for your heart!

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Pest : Flea Beetles Flea Beetles are about the size of a flea and are black, bronze, or blue-black in color. They get their name from the way they jump when disturbed. Flea beetle populations are usually more severe when conditions are hot and dry. They can pose problems in the garden; they leave small holes in chewed foliage.
Prevention and control: You've heard it a thousand times, but here it is again - clean up the garden to remove places where these insects over winter. A well-watered, moist garden will not be as attractive to an egg laying mother either. Aside from handpicking, spray with a recommended insecticide. Cultivation between rows will help to destroy eggs, too.

How the world's wealth is distributed - the top two percent own half
December 7, 2006 A new study on The World Distribution of Household Wealth by the Helsinki-based World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University was launched earlier this week. The study shows the richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of global household wealth. The most comprehensive study of personal wealth ever undertaken also reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. In contrast, the bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth. The research finds that assets of US$2,200 per adult placed a household in the top half of the world wealth distribution in the year 2000. To be among the richest 10% of adults in the world required US$61,000 in assets, and more than US$500,000 was needed to belong to the richest 1%, a group which — with 37 million members worldwide — is far from an exclusive club.

About Frankenweenie
Victor (Charlie Tahan) is a reclusive young schoolboy whose best friend is his dog Sparky. They play together constantly and Victor enjoys making home movies where he employs Sparky as a monster. One day a game of fetch sadly leads to Spark's untimely death. But Victor is an enterprising sort, and using his mysterious science teacher Mr. Rzykruski (Martin Landau) as inspiration he attempts to bring Sparky back to life. To his joy, it works – although Sparky doesn't look quite as he used to. Wanting to hang onto his friend this time, Victor hides his re-animation from his parents but it isn't long before the other kids in the neighbourhood discover his secret. With a big science fair coming up, the kids follow Victor's lead and the town's pet revenants begin to cause trouble.

DETROIT — You've been asking for them. You're getting them. Here we go…
— Scott Olsen has been sent to Viera to continue rehabbing his injured left shoulder, but he has been shut down from throwing for now. "He's still in the no-throw mode," general manager Mike Rizzo said. Doesn't sound to me like we can expect him to be back anytime soon.
— Chien-Ming Wang is "still on track for somewhere in mid-July," Rizzo said. He continues to throw off a mound in Viera and has also faced live hitters in BP. His next step is to pitch in simulated games. If Wang really is going to be back in mid-July, that would indicate he would need to start a minor-league rehab assignment within the next week or two, though Rizzo said he's not sure yet when that will actually take place.
— Jesus Flores has begun throwing to bases in simulated games in Viera. "He's on the right track," Rizzo said. Asked if it's a certainty he'll be back in the majors this season, the GM replied: "Yes, I think it's a certainty, unless he has a setback. But we're planning on having him back this year." Before that can happen, though, Flores will need to show he can play a full, nine-inning game with full throwing capabilities without any restrictions.
— Ross Detwiler made his second rehab start on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits in 3 2/3 innings for Class AA Harrisburg. The left-hander hit 93 mph with his fastball, struck out six and walkedRead more »

Thanks for smoking this stuff out of these guys. Now, the translation:Olsen–2011.Flores–Ditto.Detweiler–Post All-Star break.CMW–September would be nice.Zimm'nn–See Olsen.I'm sorry, but I have taken to use dog years whenever anyone from the Nats talks about injuries. They haven't been straight with us for five years, and counting. I call it the Brian Lawrence Syndrome.
- JayB - Jun 15, 2010 at 10:21 PM
Mark,As you point out, Rizzo's comments about Wang being in the Major leagues in mid July does not hold water with what he is doing now. Same for Flores. Why is it so hard for them to be honest and say they both have had major setbacks since March, both are progressing slower than projected at at this point, there is not much hope either will be any help this year. That is the truth is it not? Nats have always had trouble with this aspect of the game and it is distressing to see it is continuing from Jimbo days to Rizzo.
- Anonymous - Jun 15, 2010 at 10:46 PM
Any word on Marquis? Or should we also not be expecting to see him again this year?
- Bowdenball - Jun 15, 2010 at 10:55 PM
Great work, mark. Not so great work, rizzo and the nats' medical staff.For those that don't know, I believe Marquis is making a rehab start today. Is that correct?
- Mark Zuckerman - Jun 15, 2010 at 11:01 PM
Bowdenball: Not sure where you heard that, but it's not at all true. Marquis has yet to do anything other than physical therapy. He's scheduled to return to D.C. this weekend to be examined by team doctors, but he has not been cleared to resume throwing yet.
- Anonymous - Jun 15, 2010 at 11:03 PM
if I remember right Detwiller left the game in the fourth with the bases loaded, he hardly looked like a major league pitcher

I'll take Rizzo's and Zuckerman's word over JayB's any day. JayB is a moron. Give him his money back and get him out of here, Mark.
- JayB - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:50 AM
Mark,Your fans trust you…do you see Flores playing this year and Wang pitching in mid July?
- Mark Zuckerman - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:53 AM
JayB: My hunch — no on both cases. I do think we'll see Wang this year, but it's going to be tough to be here by mid-July unless he starts a rehab assignment in the next week. Much as I would love to see Flores back in the big leagues, I can't say it looks promising at the moment.
- JayB - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:00 AM
Thanks Mark….nice to know I am not too much of a moron on this one….Why is that so hard for Rizzo to be real about?
- Chris - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:35 AM
JayB – Would you really prefer Rizzo come out and publicly say he thought Flores had no chance of playing again this season – especially when Jesus is working his tail off? Same goes with Wang.There's nothing wrong with a GM publicly showing confidence in guys to keep them motivated and working – no matter how much it offends you.
- JayB - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:40 AM
What is wrong with this picture is Wil N. I don't mind what he says if he goes out a gets a MLB catcher who can help the team 75 games a year. Wil N. is killing the team every time he plays and with Pudge's back it is going to be a lot more the rest of the season.
- Chris - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:51 AM
Wil Nieves is an issue – I'll agree with you there. But, a lot was broken with this team so I'll give our FO a pass on the back-up catching spot this year, especially with the rash of injuries we've had.
- JayB - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:55 AM
OK with a pass in Feb but as soon as it was clear that Flores was not going to play this year then Rizzo should have dealt with the reality of the situation and stop the wishful thinking that "Flores will be back this year". Not a realistic way to run the team. It was clear in March he needed a new plan….No pass on that from me.
- Chris - Jun 16, 2010 at 2:26 AM
I'll add one more comment and leave the catching topic alone. When it was clear in March that Flores wouldn't be ready until after the All-Star break, Rizzo signed Coste to battle Nieves for the back-up catching spot. Unfortunately for Rizzo and Nats fans, Coste got injured. It happens.If there was someone out there that could have been acquired I wholeheartedly believe Rizzo would have already made the move.
- Anonymous - Jun 16, 2010 at 2:40 AM
Moron JayB says "OK with a pass in Feb but as soon as it was clear that Flores was not going to play this year then Rizzo should have dealt with the reality of the situation and stop the wishful thinking that "Flores will be back this year". Not a realistic way to run the team. It was clear in March he needed a new plan….No pass on that from me."Rizzo signed Coste, Burke and Maldonado after it became clear that Flores was not coming along as quickly as expected. Sounds like a plan to me. At that point in spring training, there's not all that much available – especially at catcher, which is a tough position to fill in the best of times.
- Mark L - Jun 16, 2010 at 3:04 AM
Thanks, Mark, this is incredibly valuable stuff. we could sure use some help from some of these guys. I give the front office credit, they know that some of these pitchers aren't going to give them squat, just keep hoping that 1-2 of them puts some juice into the starting rotation.
- A DC Wonk - Jun 16, 2010 at 3:27 AM
On Zimmermann (who I've been hoping can take Strasburg's spot when he gets shut down):Mark says "earliest is August"Sunshine says "2011"Thoughts?
- Big Oil - Jun 16, 2010 at 3:53 AM
Re: Zimmermann — Sept 2010, limited to 35 innings-ish — perhaps eased in through the bullpen? He really does seem, from every account I've read, to be progressing fantastically well. If he is truly ready, let him go — injury timetables are just that and not universal for every player.Re: catching and JayB: Yes, "Who?" is hurting the team, at least offensively (and a good case can be made defensively as well). With Pudge susceptible to break down, it would seem logical that a plan should have been in place when Flores went down (again). I'm trying to remember the market for catchers in March. What would you have him do? If there was a solution there, then I'd tend to agree with him on balance. That being the case, Rizzo shouldn't be castigated for allocating resources based on the information he had at the time. We may have, in our heart of hearts, known Flores was afflicted with some unshakeable injury bug, but if the team doctors say he'd be good within a few weeks (which, recalling the long WaPo Nats Journal article, sounded like the case) then our reaction to any move would have been, "why are we spending xxx for so-and-so, who is at best 4th string?" (pudge-nieves/flores-player x).So, it seems a little of both. I would like for Rizzo to perhaps swing a deal for a solid, defensive-oriented catcher for middle relief (SELL SLATEN!). That is just me though.
- Big Oil - Jun 16, 2010 at 3:58 AM
Nearly forgot — I didn't want to let a thank you to Mark to go by. Great stuff. I'll be donating this week and encourage newbies to the site (although I am not one myself — I remember the "spring" in Viera through Mark's daily accounts) to donate as well. If you like Strasburg, you'll like our other players too. If you like them, there is no better place for consistent, timely coverage and informed reporting/commentary (both from the author and commenters).
- Souldrummer - Jun 16, 2010 at 4:23 AM
@Big OilThey did have a backup plan, Coste, who had major league experience and went to pot with Tommy John surgery. Lack of pop in RF I blame the Nationals for. Catcher not so much. They don't want to invest but so much in catchers because they believe Pudge can be a bridge to Norris I think.
- Anonymous - Jun 16, 2010 at 7:46 AM
How is Maldonado doing?
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:00 PM
A friend of mine's wise mother used to say," Two things everyone thinks that they can do better: run a restaurant, and manage a baseball team," and I'm sometimes guilty of doing both,yet I think Rizzo and Riggleman inherited a mess and both, particularly Rizzo, have done a helluva job.Riggleman does drive me nuts with his playing guys out position, but overall he's gotten away with it. We all know that the Nats need an everyday RF and another catcher, but where are they supposed to get them, and who are you going to give up for them? This team is soon going to be very good for a long time to come, yet this year is not the time to begin trading quality youngsters for a chance to make the playoffs.Right now I'm concerned with Lannon's inability to consistently give us quality starts.

Hey, maybe Matt LeCroy is available to catch.
- Jaxpo Nat - Jun 16, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Are we seriously arguing about our backup catcher when we only have 2 SP's that can get through the 5th inning? Focus people.
- Grace - Jun 17, 2010 at 2:41 AM
Mark:Wang's status from Rizzo seem a bit ahead than facts.Last he said Wang threw Bullpen session, actually that time he's long tossing.Now bullpens plus long tosses…According TW's news in mid May, Wang's BP session push back to June 21 or 22.That time tw media expects see Wang in Majors sometime in August, based on the BP date,he is still on track for that for now(according TW media)..According to Steve Gober, answer question to TW newspaper reporter, on June 2 or 3, about Wang's reture to majors, his quoute: "He will pitch in the season , but I don't know when."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves.

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."- C.S. Lewis

More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

More food for thought…
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."- Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176
Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."- Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824.

I ordered a skin for my Kobo, and one for my phone. Packaged very well, not bent or folded, shipped quickly to Canada. Very easy to apply. Great colours and finishes. Fits perfectly on my devices. I love the custom look I get for my devices, especially my Kobo! I would probably order again if I need a change in design, or as a gift for someone else.Navneet Singh, Canada
