I would like this very much, not only as I would get a Illumina figure but a bio to solve her mystery!!
Check out my MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ART & More at my ART BLOG!!!
JafariStew's ART BLOG!! UPDATED 4.19.15!!
Jafaristew...the guy that coined the term "200X."
It would have been cool to get her in the 200X line. But you know a MOTUC version of her would just be another repainted Teela body with a new head. No thanks, I'll pass.

I definitely would want Illumina and her cat! I've wanted one as soon as I saw her. A He-Man.org exclusive would be WICKED!
Re-Used parts:
- Teela buck (obviously)
- Evil-Lyn cape (if they make it)
New Parts:
- Head
- Dual spear weapon
Her cat would be almost 100% re-used:
- Battle Cat buck
- Clawdeen saddle (it's almost identical, just 200X-ized with a blanket underneith)
Only new part would be a head piece (crown, if you will)
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

I'm sure I remember Val or possibly Emiliano saying at one point that anyone they created for the comics officially belong to Mattel due to the way they were working. So this would mean that Mattel can create Illumina as she is officially their character now, even if she only appeared in an advert
I'd definetly buy her! Maybe they could release her as a "sub Exclusive" for 2011?
I could go for her and the cat as a deluxe SDCC set.

I wouldn`t, with her I`d want choice She needs to be a bonus figure not a forced sub figure. I`m subscriber and don`t want to be forced to get 2 when if she was bonus figure I could get just the 1 I want and not have to go through the hassle of making a trade for the other one, waiting, shipping etc. it`s pain in the butt!!

I would gladly take an Illumina figure. I loved the MVC comics (Great job Val, Emiliano, and Company!). (I still need the last issue, though. If anyone cn help a fella out, PM me! )
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Shes stunning! But I have a feeling that Mattel may shy away from blue skinned figures,after the Avatar abominations have been peg warming for a few months-Years!!
hmmmm.........I wonder if shes Skeletors Mother?
If you want Illumina let mattel know here! Mattel doesn't seem to want to do her... maybe they need to know how much we want her! Plus she's easy to do... not a lot of new tools... and they could even make her cat, stretching out the battle cat mold again!

I was afraid of something like that.
I was hoping there was some sort of "create-a-character" contest I didn't know about.. and the winner has an appearance in the MVC Comic.
But calling the people who worked on the official comic during the 200X time period fans is pretty rude, imo.
I bought their comics in a brick and mortar store!! I didn't think you could buy fan fiction like that.. this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth...
whatever.. it'll be a different story next week.. "we just found out we can put out illumina with unflocked ears"

Review: Alamo Añejo Tequila
Posted by Arctic Wolf on September 6, 2011
Alamo Tequila is a 100 % Agave Tequila from Agaveros y Tequileros Unidos de Los Altos, S.A. de C.V. distillery in Jalsico, Mexico. I received my bottle for review from Ravinder Minhas, of Mcbsw Sales Company Inc. who is the local importer of this spirit in Alberta, where I live. When I tried to research Alamo Tequila and the distillery from which the spirit is produced, I was unable to find out very much information at all. The producing distillery appears to be an independent distillery in Jalisco Mexico who specializes in a small range of small market tequila.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
Here is a link to the full review:
Review: Alamo Anejo Tequila
As well the review features a new cocktail playfully called, A Deadly Shade of Gold.
Please enjoy the review and my new cocktail!

glad we won this one with the replay of the super bowl catch on the other side with our future SanAntonio but.......
was this a Tomlin call? if so I have to question WHAT THE FUCK is he thinking....
reminds me of Tomlins first Playoff against the Jags and going for it over the points with 5 mins left or so....WTF??
Punt the ball, stop them, over.....we don't need that miraculous play. this team drives me insane.

You know what, it was the right call. I was on board with everyone else, asking WTF?! But after Green Bay got their first first down, I looked around the room and said, "this could end up being the right call." I was very critical of Tomlin and BA during and after the Oakland game for taking the TD and leaving 1:57 on the clock for the Raiders to drive to win it. Far too few coaches I think consider the clock as a factor when making decisions. Tomlin's call in that situation was spot on. Granted, I think he saw it playing out with GB getting into FG range, us stopping them, and then a FG kick comes with about 90 seconds left. I don't think the scenario that we saw was what was going on in his head.
Another factor was GB's kicker the past month has been as ineffective as our secondary. So you have a situation where their defense can't stop our offense. Our defense can't stop their offense. Their kicker sucks. Our coverage sucks. There's 4 minutes or so left on the clock. Why the fuck not try something that if it works, it wins the game?! I will forever argue that we should have tried the 55 yard field goal in KC for the win in OT. If you have a chance to make one play that wins the game, why not go for it?
Watching the replay makes me want to ring Ike's neck even more. There was NO ONE in a white jersey in position to recover that kick, and dipshit Ike adds another item to the list of "shit he can't do this year" by not being able to watch a ball go 10 yards and then recover it. Which brings me to another point. Why is our worst set of hands being asked to recover an onside kick?!

Also, Mr. One Touchback All Season was popping them up and giving the Packers the ball at around the 35 every kickoff. The defense couldn't stop shit, so was it worth 25-30 yards for a shot at keeping the ball. As was mentioned, worst case scenario, the Steelers have a little extra time.
They needed it, seeing how they butchered the KO return.

I agree, it was the right call and said so in the game thread. Tomlin can't help it if the team can't execute the damn play. And as previously stated - don't blame him for not wanting to put the game on the defense; we've seen too many times what happens when the defense is asked to seal a game: they simply cannot do it.

Tomlin is calling out the D bigger than life here and one would think they woud become motivated. But, the likes of Gay, Taylor, Carter and whomever else are too stupid to get the message.
Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.

Ya can't make chicken soup...
Gay falls down all the time and really can't tackle.
Carter is the king of bad angles and he simply whiffed on the WR when he could have killed him yesterday on that long bomb.
Ike's suffers from Peanut Head (see Pam Oliver) so not much can be expected of him.
Clark's a hard hitter, but apparently the spleen contains all of the body's ball awareness sensors.
And now that Warren is gone, we'll simply go for it on 4th down from here on out.

I'm with everyone else on this. Didn't like it at first, but it was the right call.
The way the D has been giving up 3rd downs & game winning scores this season, you give GB back the ball short. Either the D steps up and stops them or they don't. Either way, you have a chance to get down the field and score.
You give it to them on the other side of the 50, and we don't have that time to get down there. And we obviously needed every single second.
So.....yeah. Tomlin knows what's up with this D and he's done with it.

Again and again people have asked, "Does Troy mean THAT much to the defense that it's doing this poorly without him?" The issue isn't Troy's absence as much as it is the ineptitude behind him on the depth chart. Tyrone Carter isn't even a serviceable, let alone capable NFL safety. He has no ball skills and no speed. Watching him get burned on Grant's TD run was as bad as Farrior getting burned in Cleveland on their TD run. He is incompetant back there, and it pisses me off that they've tried nothing different. I've gone on record with this prediction before, and I'll do it again...Deshea Townsend should, and I think WILL be our starting Free Safety next season. He should be back there right now. At the very least, he'll keep plays in front of him, not take stupid penalties, and can run down a running back if given the angle. And that by default makes him better than what we have right now.

I also think we're seeing the absence of Aaron Smith, and people are forgetting about what he means to the team.
With he & Troy out, that's a lot of talent and a lot of playmaking.
Agree about Deshea. He played well yesterday, I thought, and should be out there. The others aren't showing me jack.

LeBeau can't bring anything on 3rd and longs, especially critical 4Q 3&L. But as mentioned, look at the shit he's working with. Without Aaron Smith, and with Casey Hampton nowhere near as effective as the 98 of old, the line gets no push. That's where it starts. Ziggy isn't there yet, but here's hoping he can come around. Still, need a NT, as Hamp and Hokie are too old and too far declined to get it done dominantly. Also need another DE for depth, even if Sunny Harris pans. There are two NTs atop the convo, Mt. Cody and Dan Williams. Past that, it thins precipitously.
The OLB starters are fine for now, even with 92's age, but depth is critically horrible. The ILBs are making stupid mistakes due to youth (Timmons) and age (Farrior). Farrior's decline is alarming. Fox is a good enough Larry Foote type player, and we can hope Timmons will become more consistent and dominant. But again, ILB needs depth and IMO we could draft a starter for the Mack and switch Timmons to Buck. Think Rolando McClain, e.g., for a dominant tandem. A couple R3-R4 guys I like are Micah Johnson (KY) and Pat Angerer (Iowa).
But clearly the defensive backfield is a mess. It's just hideous. Teams are splitting the middle of this defense like a pistachio. Ike is great when the rest of the defense is up to par, i.e., when the safeties actually back him up. When he's rattled, like now, he shows why he's best against a singular type of WR (speed/size, as opposed to crafty/smart route runners). Put him on Ocho, fine. Against the wrong WR, he gets eaten. Willie Gay looked really good in limited exposure the first two years, and that's exactly where he belongs now: a nickel/dime guy. I had hoped he would "come around" and be a potential starter, but I've given up on the guy. We need a top lockdown corner. Burnett likewise looks like a package guy, and coach hasn't let Keenan Lewis get any field time.
I actually think Lewis might be better at FS. Ty Carter is absolute shit, and I've been begging for his replacement for years. He shows up big in a few games, but usually against the Kyle Ortons of the world -- guys without the downfield arm, or guys who the DL has rattled into dumb mistakes. He's Johnny-on-the-spot then, but the other 99% of the time, not so fucking much. Mundy has done a lot of dumb shit and looks to me like less than JAG. I came to the realization that Ryan Clark is Anthony Smith, plus about 20 IQ points. Gets burned in cover, goes for the big hit rather than the sure tackle, isn't as stupid and out of place as Smith but is showing how much he relies on 43. BTW, given the injuries, 43 isn't gonna last forever. Clearly, CLEARLY, we need two safeties, preferably guys who can rotate to either position. Not sure if Keenan Lewis has the boom to play SS, so he may be in some weird FS/CB limbo. A top safety in the first 3 rounds is a must, and another later is likely called for too.
So, NT, CB, FS/SS, ILB in the first 4 rounds, and that doesn't even consider the ongoing OL issues. Frankly, I'd spend the first three picks on defense, hope for a R4 comp and split offense/defense in R4. From there on, it's marginal guys anyway.
Out of my mind on Saturday night...

Loc: Worcester, MA Q. Why a mouse when it spins?
A. The higher the farther!
Notice it's not "Why is a mouse when it spins," and the answer isn't " The higher the fewer" either. Although both of those are common variants. I'm trying to find a source of the original quotation, which I thought was Lewis Carroll, but no one can find a vetted citation. Which is the correct phrase? Does it really matter? No. But I'm curious.
If you google Why a mouse..., you will see a bunch of references, including http://www.wordwizard.com/clubhouse/founddiscuss1.asp?Num=5902, and
All well and good; people are trying to take the query seriously. But the trail stops there, and I'm trying to go a step or two further back...any thoughts?
This board has wide exposure - anyone out there have an answer?

Loc: Cape Cod, MA, US Hmm. Never heard it before. It certainly sounds Carrollian (Why is a raven like a writing desk?), but I'm pretty well-read when it comes to old Charlie Dodgson, and it doesn't ring any bells.
Is it possibly a linguistics phrase demonstrating the opposite of the sentence "The gostak distims the doshes."? The "Gostak" sentence is an example of a sentence that parses perfectly well, but doesn't mean anything, while "Why a mouse" uses very simple vocab, but still has no meaning.
I thought there was a more canonical version of "understandable vocab, unintelligible parsing sentence", and there is: Noam Chomsky's "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." So, I'm at a dead end, but perhaps I've sparked someone else's brain?
In order to add further value to this fairly fact-free post, I'll toss in this joke that I found in my googling for the above sentences:
Rebecca: What's green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Samuel: I don't know; what is green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Rebecca: A herring.
Samuel: But ... a herring isn't green!
Rebecca: Nu, so you could paint it green.
Samuel: But a herring doesn't hang on the wall!
Rebecca: Nu, so you could hang it on the wall.
Samuel: But a herring doesn't whistle!
Rebecca: Nu, so a herring doesn't whistle.
(Nu = Yiddish expression, sort of the verbal equivalent of a shrug)

Loc: Worcester, MA All these jokes have bunches of variants. The one I originally heard went
Speaker 1: What's green, hangs from a tree, and squeaks?
Speaker 2: I don't know. What's green, hangs from a tree, and squeaks?
S1: A herring.
S2: I don't get it.
S1: Can't you paint a herring green?
S2: Yes, but...
S1: Can't you hang a herring from a tree!
S2: Yes, but...
S1: So there you are!
S2: But what about the squeak?
S1: Oh, that was just to make it difficult!
Fap !!! And the ethnicity is totally irrelevant; substitute any name or class or stereotype you like and it changes nothing.
Some years ago there was a soft-porn low-resolution computer game called Leisure Suit Larry, followed by a small raft of sequels. One of the earlier scenes showed LSL in a bar listening to dialogue that went something like "blah-blah-blah ... [punchline of a dirty joke, like "Twenty dollars, same as in town!"] ... HAR-HAR-HAR! ... blah-blah-blah ... [punchline of another dirty joke, like "...'cause tonight's your night in the barrel!"] ... HAR-HAR-HAR! ... " until you/LSL did something to move the action along. They repeated at random, but there were at least 20 punchlines, maybe closer to forty. I was chagrinned (dare I say proud?) and a bit surprised to see how many of the jokes I could recognize from their punchlines. Apparently there is a finite set of jokes that have persisted and become virtually universal, and it's a considerably smaller number than I would have predicted.

My favorite answer to this one:
Because there is a b in both and an n in neither.

You've probably all heard that the New Caledonians recently got their independence, and, of course, immediately petioned to join the UN. Well, they waited and waited for news about their membership and heard nothing. Then, one day, just one day before an important pig feast, they got word that they were to send a delegation to the UN for the meeting in which their membership was going to be voted on. They had been fasting in preparation for the feast but they had to get to New York as quickly as possible for the meeting. They took a boat to the main island and caught a plane to Sydney and then to Los Angeles and another to NYC. All this time they were unable to eat anything, due to the scheduling of the flights and when they got to the UN they were extremely hungry, but they had to go directly to the meeting. Naturally, the meeting dragged on for hours and hours before they even got to the question of New Caledonian membership and then, when the question was brought up, every delegation had to speak for five minutes or more about what a great honor it was to be able to vote for their inclusion. Finally, the vote was taken and it was unanimous. The New Caledonians were happy, but more to the point, they were starving. Fortunately, one of the delegation knew about a New Caledonian restaurant in Queens so they decided to go there. As fate would have it, in their haste to leave the building, they all tried to jam into the same section of the revolving door at the exit and it stuck. Helpful suggestions from the other delegation were to no avail and it was hours before someone got a janitor who unlocked the mechanism that held the doors in position and they were free to go.
The moral of the story is:
Don't put all your New Caledonians in one exit.
Well, it was funny when it was about Basques.

Speyside Cask Strength Whisky: Probably the heart of the malt industry, with distilleries almost shoulder to shoulder along the Spey and its tributaries. Speysides can be huge and sherry wooded, with smokiness, great length and complexity. Often the nose is enough to entrance. These malts have had no water added since being placed into cask following-distillation. Their strength can vary with time in the cask due to being stored in either a dry or a damp atmosphere. Cask strength Malts have greater concentration than standard. | |

If you decide not to breastfeed, or are unable to breastfeed, commercial iron-fortified formulas can give your baby the nutrition he or she needs. Infant formulas have the right amounts of protein, calories, fat, vitamins, and minerals for growth. However, formula does not contain the immune factors that are in breast milk. The immune factors in breast milk help prevent infections.
Infants who take enough iron-fortified infant formula usually do not need vitamin and mineral supplements. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vitamin D supplementation for all babies drinking formula until they are drinking at least 32 ounces a day. Fluoride supplements are recommended for babies whose primary water supply is not fluoridated. Check with your baby's health care provider about fluoride supplements.
Cow's milk-based formula. Most infants should be able to tolerate a standard cow's milk formula. Cow's milk formulas are modeled after breast milk. These formulas have lactose as the carbohydrate (sugar) source. They are available in ready-to-feed cans, liquid concentrate, and powder. Regular cow's milk is not an appropriate source of nutrition for a baby.
Soy-based formulas. Soy-based infant formulas are used if an infant cannot tolerate lactose. Soy formulas do not contain lactose as the sugar source. In some cases, infants who are allergic to cow's milk formula can also be allergic to soy-based formulas. Consult your baby's health care provider before changing formulas. Vegetarian parents may prefer soy-based formulas.
Hydrolyzed formulas. Hydrolyzed formulas are easier to digest. They may be used in babies at risk for allergies. They are more expensive than regular formulas. Consult your baby's health care provider before using these formulas.
Low iron formulas. These formulas are not recommended.
Breast milk is best for your baby and is beneficial even if you only nurse for a short amount of time or part-time.
Wait until breastfeeding is well established (usually by 3 to 4 weeks of age) before introducing a bottle, unless instructed otherwise by your child's health care provider.
Working mothers can use a breast pump on break time and refrigerate or freeze the milk for later use as a bottle-feeding. Refrigerated breast milk should be used within 24 hours after pumping. Frozen breast milk is good for several months in the freezer. Fathers and other family members can be involved in feeding time if breast milk is offered from a bottle periodically.
Offer cow's milk-based formula with iron as first choice of formula if not breastfeeding.
Keep your baby on breast milk or baby formula until he or she is 1 year old. After this time, you may switch to whole milk. Children under 2 years should not drink skim or low-fat milk.
It is important to follow the formula preparation directions exactly as directed on the packaging. Using too much water can result in poor weight gain. It's also important to discuss your water supply with your child's health care provider. In some areas, water must be boiled first, or bottled water should be used.
Bottled should never be propped up.
Babies should never be put to sleep with a bottle. This can cause cavities to develop.
All babies, whether breast or bottle fed, should be offered a feeding whenever they show signs of hunger.

Netosterone, derived from the compound of "Net Testosterone." Anything that you can relate to male adolesence, including sexual arousal and the need to "prove oneself" only put on the internet. You can act like a hardass all you want online, but odds are if you said shit like that to that person in real life you'd get your ass laid out.
Netosterone? Yeah, you know. Netosterone.

3 in a row
I love this necklace! I bought one and my sister loved it, so gave it to her as one of her wedding presents. Bought another for myself-- now my cousin loves it-- gave it to her(not before checking to see if they're still in stock) will purchase a couple more so that when I give them away ill always have mine!! Lol
September 5, 2013
I was very excited when this necklace arrived in the mail. I love the concept of this necklace but the execution was a let down. Up close the weight, materials, and quality used are more what I would expect to find on jewelry for children not a $30 necklace. The biggest dissapointment was that the rings don't move freely along the chain. Not because they were designed not to but because the holes on the rings are of varying sizes. I can barely get them to all be next to eachother for fear I will break it. And as you can imagine wearing a necklace like this with some rings randomly next to each other and some separated looks silly.
If I hadn't gotten it through a "buy one get one" deal I would return it.

Pretty necklace but disappointing
This necklace is very pretty and I received a lot of compliments on it. The problem is that it has turned color/tarnished in less than one month. I don't wear or spray perfume with costume jewelry so I'm not sure what happened. I'm very disappointed that I paid full price and sad that it has turned color/tarnished because I can no longer wear it.

Who's Online
We have 1 guest onlineLasik Survey
A cataract is simply a clouding of the eyes natural lens. (SEE CATARACT VIDEO «). Cataracts do not harm the eye and in most cases, there is no such thing as leaving cataracts in too long. Very, simply, cataracts need to be removed when they bother you. If your doctor tells you that your cataract MUST be removed and you are not having noticeable problems with your vision it may be wise to get a second opinion. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with a synthetic clear lens implant. One reason that cataract surgery can make such a difference in your vision is the variety of lens implants that we have available. We have lens implants to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. We also have multifocal lenses which can give a patient clear distance and up close vision without glasses. (For more information about the lens implant options, see the "INFINITY PROGRAM"). |

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is leading the points for the first time since Aug. 11, 2012. / Mark J. Rebilas, USA TODAY Sports
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is off to the best start of his career, leading the Sprint Cup Series point standings heading into an Easter break this weekend.
Earnhardt has finished in the top seven of all five races - he was second last week in Fontana, Calif. - and is 12 points clear of defending champion Brad Keselowski for the top spot.
The difference, Earnhardt said, is his team is "closing" at the end of races.
"(Closing was) something I never really was good at for years, and now we're doing it as good as anybody," he said. "Just riding the wave."
But is the wave still cresting, or will it crash after the off weekend?
Here's a look at Earnhardt's chances of finishing well at the next five races:
Martinsville Speedway
Statistically one of his best tracks, Earnhardt figures to have a great shot at extending his streak. He has top-10s in seven of the last 10 races at the 0.533-mile paper-clip shaped track and was running well last fall until he was caught up in a late-race crash.
Texas Motor Speedway
After going six races without a top-10 from 2007-09, Earnhardt has four in a row at the 1.5-mile track in Fort Worth. His average start there is 11.8, but his average finish is 13.6. That 13.6 is his fourth-best average finish of any track (Bristol, Atlanta, Martinsville, Texas). The 11.8 starting average is second-best, behind only Daytona.
Kansas Speedway
Earnhardt will make his first trip to Kansas since sustaining a severe concussion in an August testing accident. He missed the October race there but finished seventh in the spring race last year.
Richmond International Raceway
The ¾-mile short track used to be one of Earnhardt's best - he opened his career with nine top-10s in 14 races, including two wins - but his results haven't been as good lately. A runner-up finish last spring was his only top-10 there since 2008.
Talladega Superspeedway
The track where Earnhardt has his most wins (five) is no longer beloved by the driver. After sustaining a second concussion in last fall's race there, Earnhardt said he'd rather find another job if NASCAR raced at restrictor-plate tracks every week. "I don't even want to go to Daytona and Talladega next year, but I ain't got much choice," he said then.

Loney, Capuano send Dodgers to sweep of Nats
First baseman's two RBIs back lefty's 6 2/3 shutout frames
LOS ANGELES -- Barring a last-day glitch, the Dodgers on Sunday played their final game with Frank McCourt as owner, and marked it by completing a series sweep of the Nationals with a 2-0 win on James Loney's two-run single and Chris Capuano's impressive start.
McCourt will become a freshly minted billionaire -- and former owner -- when Guggenheim Baseball Management, Magic Johnson, et al, take over Monday. But the transition has already started.
Veteran sports executive Stan Kasten, the new ownership's president and CEO, has been speaking with general manager Ned Colletti almost daily lately, and introduced himself to the team in a pregame clubhouse meeting Sunday morning.
Mark Walter's Guggenheim group receives more than it bargained for with the $2.15 billion purchase, as Loney's RBIs in the sixth inning off left-hander Gio Gonzalez helped the Dodgers to a 16-6 start, their best since 1981. They are 10 games over .500 for the first time since 2010, and have three series sweeps this year, as many as they had all last year.
The Dodgers finished the homestand against Atlanta and Washington 4-2, and manager Don Mattingly said he's good with that.
"I can't be concerned with chatter," he said of outside criticism. "We win games, but we're not beating anybody. Now we play two hot teams, 'Well, you did it at home and now you have to do it on the road.'"
Starting pitchers Capuano and Gonzalez picked up where Stephen Strasburg and Chad Billingsley left off the night before, dueling scoreless until the bottom of the sixth, when, with one out, Gonzalez lost his control and successively walked Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Juan Uribe.
"I kind of put it in a way where I was beating myself there," said Gonzalez. "I was trying to be too perfect -- to throw pitches too perfectly. It kind of got away from me."
On a 1-2 pitch, Loney hit a soft liner into shallow left-center field to score Kemp and Ethier. The Dodgers won despite being outhit, 4-3.
Loney has six RBIs this year, and these were the first two off a left-handed pitcher. Last year, he drove in 14 runs while batting .214 against lefties. He's hitting only .158 against lefties this year when he's not being platooned.
"I was just trying to get a ball to drive, at least to the outfield," Loney said. "I didn't hit it that hard, but the swing path felt good to the ball."
Capuano (3-0), the club's first three-game winner this year, allowed three hits in 6 2/3 innings, with nine strikeouts in his third consecutive quality start, and was lifted after allowing a two-out single to Bryce Harper and running the count to 2-0 to right-handed hitting Jesus Flores.
"Donnie, I think he has a good feel for making moves," said Capuano of the Los Angeles manager. "He's very decisive. Early in the year, he didn't want to let games get away from us, and that's good. My last two games, I've felt very strong around the 90-105 pitches, and that's important for me."
Capuano said a long-toss program he follows since his second Tommy John operation has helped his arm strength.
Josh Lindblom (0.66 ERA) pitched 1 1/3 effective innings as setup man to Kenley Jansen, who got the save assignment over Javy Guerra and struck out the side to do it, despite a pair of walks that made it exciting.
Mattingly, who insisted before the game that Guerra was still his closer despite a rocky two weeks, said he went with the "freshest" arm in Jansen. Guerra made 18 pitches Saturday night, Jansen hadn't pitched since Friday night. But when Jansen opened the ninth with six consecutive balls, Mattingly got Guerra and lefty Scott Elbert up in the bullpen.
"As many close games as we play every night, you can't go with the same two or three guys every night," he said.
Mattingly said Lindblom has gone from the last man to make the bullpen to an important late-inning reliever.
"He's been outstanding, from the very first day," said Mattingly. "He's done multiple innings. We've pushed him from the fifth and sixth innings to the seventh, and now we use him in the eighth. Today, bringing him in during the inning means I have confidence he's going to throw strikes."
Gonzalez got a scare when Kemp led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a line drive back to toward Gonzalez's head. He knocked it down with his pitching arm, threw out Kemp, and remained in the game to walk Ethier.
Harper, playing his second Major League game, ran down Uribe's drive by reaching high up against the center-field fence for the second out, and Loney grounded out to end the inning.
