For your security
By using stolen travel documents, criminals are able to conceal their identities, move between borders and access key services in their attempt to carry out illegal activities and escape justice. Therefore enhanced measures to detect the illegal use of stolen travel documents are critical in global crime prevention.
I-Checkit helps detect criminals who use travel documents that have been reported as lost or stolen in order to access commercial services, such as booking an airline ticket, opening a bank account or registering at a hotel.
Working with the private sector
I-Checkit enables companies in the transport, banking and tourism industries to submit passport information for screening against INTERPOL's database of stolen and lost travel documents.
A database match triggers an instant alert so the situation can be investigated. Notifications are sent to the INTERPOL General Secretariat, INTERPOL National Central Bureaus in the countries concerned, and other relevant national law enforcement entities.
In some cases, this highly secure screening process will alert security teams within companies to the fraudulent use of travel documents, without revealing any personal data.
I-Checkit implementation has begun in a small-scale testing phase, which will be followed by a controlled pilot phase involving an increasing number of private sector partners.
Boosting investigation capacities
With its real-time alert system, the I-Checkit screening solution will become an invaluable investigative and preventative tool.
I-Checkit will also give unprecedented insight into criminal activity that usually occurs beyond the reach of law enforcement bodies. This will enhance investigation capabilities on a global scale and even stop criminals before they carry out their activities.
Not only will this tool reduce the unlawful use of travel documents, but it will give the law enforcement community crucial information regarding other serious crimes that are hidden behind identity fraud.

Dangerfoods: They're supposedly awesome, healthy eats, but they may not really be as good as we think. Dangerfoods, like granola bars and breakfast cereal, are wannabe healthy options (and often though as such!) which have unexpected downsides that could actually make them pretty bad for us. Sometimes, it's just a matter of eating too much or of serving size. Sure, one serving of peanut butter (2 tablespoons, typically), isn't so bad, but when one sandwich can be packed with double or even triple that amount, there can be some serious problems! Learn more about dangerfoods (and how to avoid them) here:

Laszlo Blue Firmarine Face Serum
Despite the rating, this water-based serum isn't worth the price, although it is capable of smoothing and hydrating.
Absolute Finish Foundation
The only weak point is the insufficient sunscreen; this is otherwise recommended for those with normal to oily skin.
Add to Faves?
Erno Laszlo At-A-Glance
Strengths: One good toner; some good moisturizers; pH-correct AHA product; tinted moisturizer with sunscreen; workable concealer, powders, and powder blush.
Weaknesses: Expensive; the majority of products contain one or more considerably irritating ingredients; basic skin-care regimen revolves around using drying bar soap and alcohol-laden toners; the TranspHuse line; jar packaging.
According to the company's brochure, Dr. Erno Laszlo, a Hungarian dermatologist, was "the first to combine the exact science of his profession with the art of cosmetology" using "precisely diagnosed treatments dispensed with a doctor's touch." He treated Hungarian royalty, women whose lack of beautiful skin was apparently enough to get them shot in the face by potential suitors (no kidding)—until Laszlo saved the day with his revolutionary products. We admit that that's great copy, but there are rumors that he was never a medical doctor in Hungary or anywhere else in Europe, and he was certainly never licensed to practice medicine in the United States. Medical status aside, the claims and "story" behind these products are just another verse in the litany of hyperbole the cosmetics industry is famous for.
In his time (1920s through the 1930s), Laszlo's notoriety was built on "prescribing" skin-care regimens for wealthy women who could afford to "succumb to the 'Laszlo Ritual' of daily skin care." The ritual included regimented splashing of the face with extremely hot water before and after washing with bar soap. Today's Laszlo ritual talks of harnessing the power of water not only to cleanse skin but also to tone, firm, hydrate, clear, and energize skin. Amazing isn't it? If water alone and a certain splashing technique with traditional bar soap can take care of skin, then what's the point of Laszlo's profusion of (mostly poor) products? Why not just offer some soap and a tip sheet on how to splash most effectively, and let the water perform the miracles the company claims it can? If you think this sounds as ridiculous as we do, imagine trying to explain it to customers without backing away sheepishly. While neighboring cosmetics counters extol advanced formulas claiming to work like Botox or speak of their potent, patented cosmeceutical ingredients, Laszlo's team is going on and on about splashing skin with water and the "clocking system" they use to determine your skin type (a system that is more complicated than helpful).
Looking at historical background is one thing, but the real problem with legendary or ancient skin-care routines is that new research more often than not negates what we once thought to be true. After all, in Laszlo's heyday, no one knew about sun damage or the need for exfoliation, or that hot water can hurt skin and cause surfaced capillaries. Water-soluble cleansers weren't around, no one knew the connection between antioxidants and skin care, elegant sunscreens didn't exist, and Laszlo clearly didn't know that soap is too irritating and that irritation is a problem for skin (it's one of the major causes of collagen destruction). Plus, alkaline substances (that's what soap contains) have research showing they can increase the bacterial content in skin and damage the skin's healing process. With today's gentle cleansing options, there is no need to subject skin to the harshness of soap, regardless of how oily it is.
Further, anyone with any skin type who adheres to routine use of Laszlo's products is only setting themselves up for trouble, whether it's persistent irritation or a dry, tight feeling that will have you reaching for a moisturizer in desperation (and possibly making oily or breakout-prone areas worse as a result). There are some reliable, well-formulated products in this line, but following Laszlo's regimented routine is a path to skin irritation and dryness—and that's not the way to "worship your skin."

TxDOT's statewide Share the Road motorcycle safety and public awareness campaign urges motorists to look twice for motorcycles at intersections and when changing lanes, the two places where serious motorcycle collisions commonly occur.
In 2013, 494 people died on Texas roadways while riding motorcycles and scooters. In 2012, that number was 470. This represents a 5 percent increase from 2012 to 2013. This uptick shows we still have work to do to save more lives in 2014 and beyond. TxDOT lead-campaigns, such as Share the Road, aim to heighten the awareness of Texas motorists about motorcyclists on the road to help reduce the number of crashes each year.
According to a survey conducted by Texas A&M Transportation Institute, more than half of motorcycle crashes in 2012 involved another driver who reportedly never saw the motorcyclist. Because motorcycles have a much smaller profile than other vehicles, it can be difficult for drivers to judge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle. As a result, drivers involved in crashes with motorcycles say they never saw the motorcyclist and were unable to react in time to prevent the crash.

June 7, 2014 - Wonderful. They go well with my other turquoise jewelry and are well made. I wear them often!
June 6, 2014 - I got the blue ones. Beautiful earrings, lightweight, The wires aren't sterling. My ears are sensitive and they itch after wearing these for a few hours. Still worth wearing :)
June 2, 2014 - Love these! Great size and well made. I started with the clear and plan to invest in the other colors as well.
March 23, 2014 - I purchased these earrings in turquoise. They are exquisite! They catch the light very well. And the color is a very beautiful hue of turquoise. The earrings are the perfect length. I wear them with everything! Even my pajamas! I wear them to sleep. The french hooks are amazing. The earrings stay in place, no matter what. I am contemplating purchasing the earrings in clear... I recommend these earrings to everyone! If you are thinking of purchasing them, do so. You'd be glad you did. To think these works of art are made from recycled glass!
October 16, 2013 - I purchased both the turquoise and clear they are beautiful and just like pictured.
Artisan: Motif
For women that have been marginalized by society, Motif is a safe place they can call home while earning a living to provide for their families. Most of the women employed have experienced some form of discrimination or other scarring incident that has given them a social stigma, making it hard to find decent employment. Some of the women are former prostitutes, others have been affected by leprosy or other diseases, others still have been divorced or abandoned. At Motif the women find a safe place where they can earn a living, as well as share with the other women in a family-type atmosphere.
Motif prides itself on making unique lifestyle fabrics and accessories, and considers the quality and production of their designs, their good prices, timely deliveries, and strong relationships with customers stronger selling points than the fact that all their goods are fair trade -- something they think should be the norm rather than an exception.
Artisan Shireen
Several years ago Shireen's husband left her for another woman -- leaving her with no choice other than to move herself and her two children into her sister's already crowded home. Relationships were strained with this stressful living situation, and made worse by the fact that Shireen's nephews were very strict and did not allow her daugthers to freely leave the house or pursue an education.
Luckily, Shireen learned from friends about Motif, and went to see if her skills would be useful to the company. They are -- and she has since become a major source of financial support for her family. She moved herself and daughters out of her sister's home, was able to give her sister a number of loans to support herself, and her daughters are now pursuing their educations. As a senior seamstress at Motif, she is great at training and encouraging the younger and newer women.
Artisan Nasma
Nasma became acquainted with Motif in 2003, when she was one of the manual laborers who was helping to complete the building. She had been fired from her job as a garnment worker when she became pregnant, and laboring was the only job she could find that would let her keep her newborn son, Raju, with her on the job. As the staff came and went from the building they got to know her, and suggested she join the team.
She has been very successful -- within three months she was able to save enough money to help her husband, who is disabled due to leprosy, buy a rickshaw to cycle to help support the family, and within a year they had saved enough money that he was able to find work that was easier for him to perform. She also helped out her mother, who was then able to stop doing manual labor and take care of Raju full-time. And finally, in 2008, Nasma's son began attending school, becoming the first child in their family to become educated.

Photo by one proud father
You know, when I mentioned yesterday that Mrs. Z and I were awaiting the birth of our son sometime in the next two weeks, I honestly didn't think the wait would barely surpass six hours. But Mother Nature — or, I suppose in this case, a very cautious (and extremely talented) OBGYN — has a funny way of doing business.
Sure enough, "Baby Z" decided eight months in the womb was enough for him. Like I speculated, the kid just really wanted to be here in time for Stephen Strasburg's return. And he is.
I'm thrilled to announce that Brian Leonard Zuckerman was born at 12:13 p.m. Monday, five weeks early but still checking in at an impressive 6 pounds, 9 ounces. Both Brian and my wife, Rachel, are doing great. He appears to be fully developed and 100 percent healthy. And based on the first day of his life, he appears to be an incredibly well-behaved child. (Yes, I know that's not going to last long!) Rachel, meanwhile, is recovering well from her C-section, and we should all be able to go home together as one happy family in a couple of days.
Now, I know you're all trying to figure out where we came up with Brian Leonard. No, it's not some weird homage to legendary Nationals Brian Bruney and Lenny Harris. And it's not in honor of Brian LawrenceRead more »

Congrats. A big day for everyone and perfect timing (pre-Sept 1) for Brian to be the oldest in his class and many sport teams. Gladwell and others have written articles on how important birth dates can be to long term "success" in various activities, particularly sports.

Best. Photo. Ever.One question: is Brian going to be on a pitch count until he's 6?Congratulations to all.Now, all of us at Nats Insider can collectively exhale. The last time I was this nervous was when our daughters were born (23 and 21 years ago) and the last time Henry Rodriguez was pitching with a lead.
- joemktg - Aug 30, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Unless the gene pool includes a few 6 footers, have him bat left, throw right, play up the middle. Skip Little League, and go right to showcase!!!!Here's a better idea: crank up that 529…

Awwww, what a cutie. I'm so relieved to hear that he's fully developed and healthy, and that mom's doing well. I've had you all in my prayers since he decided to debut early. Looked at the pic before reading the post and told my hubby: look, he's in a regular bassinet and he looks plump rather than all wizened. I predict that the nurses are all going to fall in love him before he heads home. Heck, probably half of the Insiders already have. You had us at hello, kid.Oh, and I'd go with switch-hitting catcher, but then I've always had a thing for catchers.

I vote for leadoff/centerfielder — and hurry it up. By the time he is ready the Nats will probably STILL need one! Congratulations! For an early birth he is a very good size and cute as a button.
- carolync - Aug 30, 2011 at 11:43 AM
Congratulations Mark and Rachel from a big fan since the Washington Times days!I vote for switch-hitting middle infielder. Catcher is such a painful position. He looks like he'll be ready for T-ball in the spring!
- Natslifer - Aug 30, 2011 at 11:48 AM
Congratulations!! Four weeks early and 6 lbs, 9 ozs?? I think you've got that catcher . I grew up watching Johnny Bench – there wasn't anyone better but if he were a switch hitter that would have been an all-time player!

Mark:Congratulations! You do understand with your interest and job in baseball that Brian will do everything in his power to become a soccer player or something similar(especially in his teen-age years). No matter though because the beauty of the game will win him back. Keep him on the mound if possible, that catching thing is rough on the hands.
- ehay2k - Aug 30, 2011 at 12:00 PM
Congratulations to the Zuckermans! Brian (not named after Bixler) is a good looking kid. No need to wait for Little League, teach him to switch hit during Blast Ball. Sleep when you can Mark, because this will be a new kind of tired for you. Every day from here on out will be just like the final signing day with a Scott Boras client.
- LoveDaNats - Aug 30, 2011 at 12:10 PM
He is beautiful!!! Enjoy every second! I am looking forward to watching him grow through the pages of Nats Insider.Definately left-handed pitcher. As for catcher, I can't get Buster Posey out of my head.Congratulations to you and Rachel!

First of all, many many congratulations. The joy of having a baby around is amazing. Yes, they might keep you up at nights and cry a lot sometimes. But their one smile can be cure to pretty much everything.Now I want Brian to have long and HoF career. That's why I am hesitant to see him as a catcher. I like left-handed pitcher better who can hit cleanup. Whatever position he decides to take up, remember to hire Ichiro's dad as his personal trainer.
- Anonymous8 - Aug 30, 2011 at 1:29 PM
I went to the March predictions page to see if I guessed the due date (I didn't) and found my Strasburg and other predictions. I may have nailed it!http://www.natsinsider.com/2011/03/2011-nats-predictions.htmlAnonymous8 said… If Strasburg makes a Sept 6th comeback which seems like the optimum date, that should give the Nats on 5 days rotation probably 3 home starts and they could stretch it into 4 home games with a couple extra days rest.That is 3 x 40,000 fans and if Bryce Harper is a September callup, Nats Park will be packed.Throw in 3 sold out Phillie/Nats games and a sold out Opening Day and you get almost 275,000 in 7 games. Take 74 games at a light average of 15,000 and Nats Park should easily eclipse 1,385,000. Got to like Mark Z. going with 1,562,538 and not 1,560,000. So there is 5 thinking BHarper will be in Washington in 2011 and 3 thinking he finishes in Harrisburg.Heading to the Park. See you all there!!!! March 31, 2011 9:54 AM

- Falls Church Nats Nut - Aug 30, 2011 at 1:53 PM
Congratulations Mark and Rachel! Sleep is great, but babies are even better. I'm sure you will have no issues with Brian coming early – we have twin girls who were born at 30 weeks and weighed three and a half pounds each, and they have had no lasting effects – so you guys should be in the clear. We also have the Nats Peanut who is almost three months old now – so maybe one day he will be pitching to Brian at Nats Park, or vice versa. All the best.

Congratulations Mark and Rachel…..remember the first baby gift should be a ball and bat (chewable of course). Now as for being a switch-hitting catcher or a LHP, I suggest you read the book "The Man with Two Arms" by Billy Lombardo. Again, congratulations YOU'VE had a VERY successful season!!!
- A DC Wonk - Aug 30, 2011 at 2:41 PM
Mazel tov again! I agree with the sentiment: try to switch hit, try to avoid being a catcher (their careers are too short).And, from one father to another: there are no words to describe the highs each day will bring — you just have to live it to get it.And, sigh, the time goes by way too darn fast. This morning I just dropped off my eldest, now 18, at the airport as he spends a year of study abroad before college. First one to fly to coup.Cherish each day.

Now that Mark tells us how is son got his name I thought of the Red Sox pitcher Brian Leonard Rose who retired a few years before the Nats came to Washington. Not sure if he was ever in the Expos system….Coincidence?
- Stuart - Aug 30, 2011 at 2:42 PM

- JaneB - Aug 30, 2011 at 2:45 PM
Well, the catcher part is a given, because he will be observant and smart. Switch hitting will make him more valuable to more teams, and then he has a better chance of staying in this market when he hits the bigs.VIRTUAL SHOWER potential participants: you can write Mark directly via email at firstname.lastname@example.com for Brian Leonard's address, if you want to send a present. You can find a gift registry at Amazon in the name of Brian's mom Rachel (I can't figure out how to make the cut and paste that would make the link live). Even if you don't want to send a gift, look at the registry for a glimpse into Mrs. Z's way cool sense of humor.

So – I heard that there is a game tonight in Atlanta . Livo vs. Jurrjens. Atlanta hasn't played since Friday – think that will affect them? Who are the hot Nats?( no – you can't say "no one") Zim heating up again after his pinch hit? Maybe even Desi? I would say Morse and Werth are tepid. Danny maybe getting ready to go on a tear? Drew really, really, needs to get in the game – he hasn't pitched much lately. Will we see Nuke La Hrod? Mark is busy – we need to do our own series preview! We have played the Braves pretty well this year and we really need to get back on the winning track, badly.

Random "old timer" Nationals factoids:I was at the Nats first home game at RFK. No, not the April 14th home opener, but the game that was the day before the season opened. The Nats' last exhibition game was April 3 at RFK (miserable weather — windy, damp, temp in the 40s). The Nats lost 4-3 — all the Nat's runs were scored on a home run by which player?
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Aug 30, 2011 at 6:38 PM

I think next year when we are winning like crazy and all the new people are around we should call a Nats charter-fan day. Everyone should wear their oldest nats shirt with a name on it. The aforementioned Ryan Church will probably be represented quite well. You can also expect to see Schneider, Patterson, Wilkerson.Perhaps even Bacsik – who is famous for what __________??? this will be super easy for "real" Nats fans!
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 6:49 PM
On the game, hope one of our stats gurus can step up with a breakdown for gonatsgo but I did see some interesting stats on MLB Network earlier. If memory serves, during the current losing streak the Nats are averaging 2.2 runs per game. On the other paw, and again if memory serves, Jurrjens has averaged 4 runs scored against him and gone no more than 5 innings each time in – I don't recall the stretch; maybe his last 4 starts? Anyway, that's the best I got. Oh, and if memory serves the Nats have hit him quite well of late.
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 6:51 PM
That would be grooving, er, giving up Bonds record-setting dinger. That one might be too easy for newbies Nats fans, though, if they've been paying any attention to baseball at all.And, let's see, I think I have a Nick the Stick t-shirt around here somewhere…
- A DC Wonk - Aug 30, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Yes, it was against the Mets. Termel Sledge incorrect, but a great guess — as he hit the first regular season home run for the Nats the following day.

1A – not going to answer, other than to say he COULD have been the answer to your Durham marriage guy, given your clue, right?OK, probably last post before heading out to see Lyle Lovett, but just wanted to say this:it is pretty cool to me that, in the midst of a losing streak with some pretty awful play, a losing streak that probably removed any chance of .500 this year, that many of us have a deep belief that things are getting better, and soon.Whether we are right or not (and I assume that this post will bring out some people who will show me how I am not right), I think it is pretty cool. And the first time, really, in the entire Nats history that I felt this way.
- A DC Wonk - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:08 PM
And while I'm at it . . . Most non-dramatic Nats memory: Aug 4, 2005: John Patterson struck out 13 Dodgers (in a complete 4-hit shutout); Wilkerson hit the first ever Nationals grand slam (and the first ever grand slam I saw live), Guzman got two hits and two RBI's as he continued his ultimately successful quest to finish above the Mendoza line (his BA got up to .193 by game's end) . . . but that wasn't what sticks out as much as:My wife and I had taken some kids to the game, and one of the kids had to go to the bathroom. The kid was probably old enough to go himself, (he was 12) but, as it wasn't my kid, I figured I'd better accompany him just in case.In my absence, a foul ball *hit my empty seat*! I'm not kidding. My wife and kids both say I was very lucky, as it came in hard and would have killed me. (They mean that figuratively). But, we were in the old 300's section of RFK — I figured no way it could come in that hard. I keep telling them I would have caught it. Granted, I have no way to judge, but, heck, I played sports!We've had this funny-family-joke going for six years now (in fact, last last week we were jokingly/arguing about it!)It just amazes me: a foul ball hit my empty seat!

If you take the previous 7 games that comprise the homestand, Nats averaged 3.9 runs/game over that stretch.The Nats actually slashed a respectable .252/.320/.383 over the losing streak, outpacing their season average slash line of .242/.310/.380.Jurrjens has been a bit better than you give him credit for, however. He didn't give up a run his last time out, going 6.1 innings. He hasn't been as consistent as he was earlier in the year however. Since the second-to-last time we faced him on July 17, he's posted a 5.35 ERA and a .297/.377/.529.The Nats have faced him twice this season and each time roughed him up, putting up 6 and 5 runs respectively in 5.0 innings.To me, this game is more about Livo. He's had 2 bad outings in a row now. Since the ASB, he's posted a 5.40 ERA and .308/.351/.471 slash line. Should be interesting to see whether Davey sticks with his "all offense" lineup or tries to put some gloves behind Livo.

It was Ryan Church.

natsfan1a – thanks for the stats – We have gotten to Jurrjens before, I think ,and we need to do it again!!!!! I get so tired of baseball people blathering about the American League East being the best division in baseball. Try playing the phillies and the braves about a million times a season!!! And the Mets and Fish have their moments and cannot be taken lightly. So many of the top pitchers in mlb are in our division – including the philly starters and the braves relievers. We have really been running a gauntlet with the phils, dbacks, cincy (surprisingly good , even the phils had a tough time last night), and now the braves, then mets and etc, etc, etc. Argghghgh.

Oh, and while we're on the topic of the amazing community of posters here, an idea that's been kicking around in my head the last month or so was a bunch of us getting together and chipping in on one of those Dream Foundation supporter baseballs that you can get inscribed and placed on the wall by the Home Plate Team Store.It's $250 for one, 10 people, $25. Money goes to charity and Hacking the Gorse, GYFNG! gets immortalized at the stadium. Just something I've had floating in my head and wanted to gauge any possible interest.
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:32 PM
Wally, true, those initials would have fit as well.DC Wonk, great story. That night's one of my fave in-person Nats games. Also, my hubby and I once had a chance on a dinger in the upper deck at RFK, but our reaction times were too slow. Well, more like his reaction time, as my reaction was to duck and cover (hey, it was drilled into me during my childhood).Grandstander, maybe the two bad outings mean that we're due for a good Livo. (Hey, a gal can dream.)Ah, Church on Sunday. I remember it well…
- N. Cognito - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:32 PM
The only other current Nat that played in the game…Jesus Flores.
- RPrecupjr - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:33 PM
Mazel Tov indeed, Mark!!!Here's hoping that Brian keeps that number 6-9 as he grows and has it end up being his height….outstanding for the lefty power pitcher…not so good for the catching prospects.I ended up with a lefty (daughter), determined at quite asn early age, they say you usually can't really tell until they're three, but by a little more than a year if you put something in her right hand, she would immediately put it down and pick it back up with the left. She's nine now (thinks she's 18 of course) and has a pretty decent arm and swing…and jump shot (she's 4' 11") so we'll see where we end up.Now I'm off to check out the Amaazon list.–Ron in Reston

Congratulations Mark and family. Thank you for all the work you do for the Nats community.
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:37 PM
You're welcome, gonatsgo. Agree that this division is no cake walk.GS, back in the day a bunch of Journal commenters chipped in one a Dream Foundation ball dedicated to Svrluga (when he left the beat). Maybe it's time for a Zuckerman ball. Although there's also something to be said for hacking the gorse or GYFNG. hmmm…Also, does anyone remember what the trigger was for Castilla spitting out and then hitting his bubble gum when he was at bat? I was thinking it was for a strikeout but can't recall. (Yeah, I know. If only I could channel these mental gymnastics for good.)
- RPrecupjr - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:37 PM
Also, a Google search for "Brian Zuckerman" brings up this blog as response #6. So he's starting life in the Top 10, no pressure
- Grandstander - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:39 PM
@ swamiIf you look at total run differential, which I think is the best way to compare the division, the AL East is WAY ahead of everyone else with +299. But the NL East is the clear #2. Only one other division has a positive differential, the AL West, with +3. NL East is +95
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:41 PM
Which is not to say that he should leave the beat. Eh, you know what I meant…Maybe it's time for a Zuckerman ball.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:42 PM
N. Cognito.. If you're talking about the 2005 Mets/Nats exhibition game at RFK, Jesus Flores was a 2007 rule 5 guy. But I just realized… He could have played for the Mets but I find that hard to believe.
- natsfan1a - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:45 PM
fyi, Dad has a new post up.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 30, 2011 at 7:50 PM
I stand corrected. I do see where a "Flores" pinch hit for the Mets.
- A DC Wonk - Aug 30, 2011 at 8:31 PM
First Nats homer in RFK stadium — the last pre-season game before the regular season opener, April 3, 2005:N. Cognito said… It was Ryan Church.Correct.Sec 3 gets honorable mention — a ways back he said: "either Schneider or Church."

A belated (but still heartfelt) congrats to you and Rachel, and a Let's Play Ball! welcome to the world for little Brian! I've always been fascinated with names, their origins, and the backstory on the name decisionmaking process, so I want to thank you for taking the time to explain how your son became Brian Leonard.I think you should start training him to pitch with either hand. He can be his own call to the bullpen and bridge to the closer.Or, barring that, mimic Strasburg's life to the T, fat period and all! :)Warmest regards and congrats,Jeff

[2] Faculté de Génie Mécanique, Université Politehnica Timisoara, Romania
Our work is to improve the surface texturing process by laser irradiation. In this study, thermal modelling of the laser-matter interaction for a single laser impact case is presented.
A 1D modelling was carried out. The purpose was to determine the dimension of the liquid layer and the ablated matter volume.
The model accounts for the evolution of material thermodynamic properties, the matter ablation, and the molten metal motion.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 35 THE BUTTERCUP MONTH APRIL 21, 1987 Tribal Council, Missoula County agree on land-use planning authority The Tribes and Missoula County's commissioners have agreed that "the Tribes are the proper agency" to conduct land-use planning in the Jocko-Evaro area -- property that is within both Flathead Reservation and Missoula's county boundaries. In an April 13 letter to Jocko-Evaro residents, Patrick O'Herren of the Missoula County planning office explained that when they began con- C/3 sidering an update of their 1975 comprehensive land-use plan, they decided to invite input from the Tribes and Lake County. The main reason, he wrote, was the hope that "by including the Tribes and Lake County in the effort, a plan could be devised that would address all lands in the area, regardless of political boundaries. Such a document could conceivably help avoid the establishment of conflicting land uses on parcels adjoining one another, yet governed by separate agencies. "Unfortunately," he noted, "Lake County was unable to join in this effort. "The jurisdictional powers of the Tribes and the Missoula County Tribal leaders last week walked out of another meeting with a federal official who, they say, took action before consulting with the affected tribes. This time, it wasn't Ross Swimmer of the Interior Dept. It was John Melcher of the Senate. commissioners were thoroughly researched by both agencies' legal staff," he went on. "On land in Missoula County and within Tribal boundaries, it was the finding of these attorneys, the county commissioners, the Tribal Council, Missoula's planning staff, and Missoula's general-services director, that in this instance, the best, most equitable and most beneficial treatment of future land-use planning involves the transfer of governmental authority to conduct such planning to the Tribes." The formal details of the agreement will be worked on in the next several weeks. Melcher introduced a bill April 10 that calls for a two-year moratorium on all Tribally sponsored taxes, pending further study by Congress. The Montana Democrat called a meeting April 15 in Great Falls to tell the state's tribes what he, and co-concludes on page four) New enrollment, post-n-pole meeting: April 27 The general meeting to discuss post and pole harvesting (taxation and other issues) and enrollment has been rescheduled from March 2\\ to Monday, April 27. The meeting will begin at 5:30 with dinner at the St. Ignatius community center. Tax moratorium bill protested with walk-out

What does the budget mean for the prospects of an airport in the Thames Estuary.
In his Budget today Mr Osborne chancellor of the Exchequer announced today "I believe that this country must confront the lack of airport capacity in the south-east of England. We cannot cut ourselves off from the fastest growing cities in the world, and my right hon. Friend the Transport Secretary will set out Government thinking later this summer." With expansion ruled out at Heathrow Gatwick and Stansted and the political focus firmly and uniquely on the Thames Estuary the future does not look bright.
In the last consultation in 2002 when Government looked at proposals for an airport at Cliffe or in the run up to the current consultation to be announced shortly, this or previous Governments have never acknowledged the environmental value of the Thames Estuary despite its European and Ramsar recognition.
Mr Darling the then Secretary of State for Transport came close when giving his reasons for dismissing Cliffe as an option when he said that birdstrike would make the site dangerous.
Today Mr Osborne went on to say "Next week my right hon. Friend the Communities Secretary and the Minister of State, Department for Communities and Local Government, my right hon. Friend the Member for Tunbridge Wells (Greg Clark), the Minister with responsibility for planning, will publish the results of our overhaul of planning regulation. We are replacing 1,000 pages of guidance with just 50 pages. We are introducing a presumption in favour of sustainable development, while protecting our most precious environments. The new policy comes into effect when the national planning policy framework is published next Tuesday. This is the biggest reduction in business red tape ever undertaken."
Saving our most precious places may just be a reference to our nine national parks that we all love and indeed consider precious or if we are optimistic it could be a reference to the recognition we all want to hear … that the Thames Estuary, recently put forward for consideration as one of the new Marine Conservation Zones is to be given its rightful place in the hearts and minds of the nation.
Tomorrow Government will release a review of its interpretation of the Habitats Directive the very legislation that forms the foundation of protection of all such sites.

I am in a Japanese office setup sitting next to my boss. He often gets phone calls but most of the time he is not in his seat. How do I answer his phone say that "This is Mr. XX's seat and this is YY (my name) talking and Mr.XX is not in his place" in Japanese?

I've found answering the phone at work follows a fairly fixed pattern. I would answer the phone with something along the lines of: Then when they introduce themselves. You generally reply with : Then when they ask for your boss say something like: At that point they will either ask when he will be back, or say they will call back later. |

I ordered this rug in pink for our nursery and it's beautiful! The pink is very vibrant as advertised in the photos. Perfect rug and excellent value for the quality of the rug. Highly recommend this rug.
This rug is wonderful. The pink is vibrant - exactly as pictured and it is a great contrast with the light cream. I bought this for my daughter's dorm room and it is perfect. She said it even makes the room seem bigger! The rug is very soft and the weave is thick. Great quality and an excellent price.
I ordered the maroon rug, which looks like a burgundy/brown color on your web site. The actual color is a vibrant plum.
This is the most shedding carpet!! After two weeks down and vacuuming the loose fibers daily I rolled it up and put it in storage. I can understand some initial shedding but this is ridiculous!!!
This rug is even better than I expected. The colors are vibrant and it is thick, quality wool. We are really, really happy with it.
I've had this rug for a year and a half and it's still shedding. I've never had a more annoying rug.
I bought this rug as a replacement for another gorgeous pink and cream rug I bought from this site. My cats ruined the other one due to it being a loop pile. This is one is a brush pile, so though my cats can pull up little random pieces, they can't make gouges or holes since the brush pile is so dense. It feels and looks like very high quality at a great price and works perfectly with my Mod Goth décor! Love it!
I really wanted this rug to work because the colors are beautiful, and the design is unique. However, this wool rug shed too much for us. We vacuumed it frequently and filled the vacuum each time. We only kept it for a month, so it might have stopped shedding after a few months. If shedding isn't an issue or you have had luck with a wool rug that stops shedding, then this rug might be for you.
My husband and I purchased this rug for our daughter's nursery. We love the modern design! The colors were very true to the website's representation. The rug does shed some at first (like any other rug does), but vacuuming it helps a lot! I was very impressed with how soft the rug actually was. That was one of my concerns before purchasing, but thankfully it wasn't something I had to worry about afterall! The rug is wonderful, and we just LOVE it!
Great product but take in to account the color will be extremely bright not as subdued as shown.

Fly fishing represents one of the oldest types of fishing. Initially it was used especially to catch salmon and trout, but nowadays it has turned into another method of catching bass, pike, carp and other fish. The term was generated in relation to the fisherman's lure regularly made of an insect like lure made for the purpose of attracting the fish. The fly fishing equipment required by fly fishing is also called tackle. The types include the artificial flies, the fly rod which casts the flies, the reel and the fly line. In order to be able to cast the fly as far as possible the line should be a little heavier than other line types. Moreover, the flies are produced in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors, for the purpose of luring one sort of fish in particular.
In general terms the artificial lure for fly fishing is made of hair, feathers, fur and other materials that will render the desired look of the insect supposedly used as bait for fish. Each fishing location demands a certain type of artificial fly that will look like insects sharing the same habitat with the fish you are after. Hence, the fly fishing methods used in one region may not work in another. According to another fly classification, they can be attractive or imitative. The imitative flies are similar to real insects while the attractive ones simply resort to color or reflection of light in order to attract fish without necessarily imitating real insects. And yet another classification splits the artificial lures into dry models that imitate dragonflies, grasshoppers and float on water, sub-surface designs that are just like pupae or larvae and wet kinds very much like leeches and minnows.
The difference between fly fishing and non-fly fishing is that the former relies on the use of the line weight for casting the fly in the water. On the other hand the non-fly fishing type relies on the weight of the lure.
Many Famous actors, politicians, and even entrepreneurs such as jason hope love fly fishing.
