- JayB - Jul 25, 2013 at 10:56 PM
This will help. Davey Stepping down and moving up to the GM box will do the trick. Randy Knorr did what Davey would not for 100 games. Kick some ass, hold a guy accountable and tell the truth about it to make sure the guy got the message loud and clear. Look for Rafael S. and cash be traded to Tigers this weekend.
- TheManBearPig - Jul 25, 2013 at 10:56 PM
The walk-off and Randy's comment about shut down mode or out of the game. Accountability is a good thing, tempered with patience. Seems like we've seen too much of the latter and not enough of the former.
- natsfan1a - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:07 PM
Speaking of walk-offs, upon looking at the above pic again, it's somewhat reminiscent of Werth in game 4 of the NLDS. He got like three feet of air that time.

Soriano, Span, and Haren. Hard to pick the biggest goat from the herd. Rizzo served a slice of humble pie.
- sjm308 - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:24 PM
Just got back after a great game and maybe an even better dinner (Cafe Belga)Thoughts – two excellent plays by Lombo early in the game.Burnett throws first pitch strikes at an alarming rateBurnett had about 60 pitches through 6 innings as Gio was hitting 100 – I would not have brought Gio out for the 6th inning as they had runners on base every single inning and it was amazing he escaped as many times as he did.Loved seeing the other team making errors instead of our lads. Amazing the difference in Zimms throws when he does not hesitate – they have something on them and are right on target. When he takes that one step and has time you hold your breathI see our resident Span hater had a couple posts removed. Play nice william even though I disagree with you about 90% of the time.Anyway, my spousal equivalent is now 1-0 but refuses to return on Saturday. Hoping this is the start of something.(but I still have those reservations in Boston in Oct – not to mention this great trip to Slovenia & Croatia next month)Go Nats
- David Proctor - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:26 PM
Honestly, I still think Soriano has been very good for us. Especially given how poorly Storen has performed. And Clippard didn't exactly do an amazing job last year, he wore down. I won't dispute that Soriano has been a mess the last couple weeks, but I'm not going to judge his entire year based on that. Span and Haren have been flops. I just don't view Soriano that way.
- sjm308 - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:27 PM
I would actually support that trade that JayB mentions. We have a bunch of guys who can close and have proven themselves. I realize Storen is on very thin ice but I think Clip is worthy and I have always felt that Mattheus might have the right stuff as well. Even though he did not have it today, I also like how Kroll goes right at batters. If we can get young prospects for Soriano, I say do it!
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:27 PM
And another troll with all the letters nd numbers. Haren is definitely a bust. The other 2 are solid professionals.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:29 PM
sjm… JayB just said "trade to Detroit". I want Castellanos.
- David - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:30 PM
Anyone else ready for Davey to bench Soriano for Clippard? His BAA is .259 with a 1.25 WHIP … Clippards is .134 combined with a .85 WHIP. I don't care who's getting paid more, or who's had a better career, we need Clippard to close. I don't think it would mess up "chemistry" to go with Clip. He's been around for 5-6 seasons, and has done everything the Nats have asked, including closing last season. Anyone else agree with me?
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:35 PM
If Soriano is the Nats closer, then he ONLY pitches in closer situations.

- NatsLady - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:42 PM
I was amused by Knorr's comment, especially since I heard it as "mood" rather than "mode." However, several times Soriano's been in for non-save situations (more than 3 runs)–when we got extra runs in the 8th or top of the 9th, yes, it has happened. He has already been warmed up for the save, and Davey just had him finish the game.I never got the impression he minded or thought it was beneath him. I rather thought he liked the non-pressure outing for a change. I would attribute his poor performance today to (1)a lot of days off and (2)strange strike zone.Neither one is an excuse. (1) He is a veteran and should be able to keep himself sharp. (2) That strange strike zone had been strange, but consistent, through most of the game. Maybe he was not paying sufficient attention. Still, before I go trading a guy–even if he's in a rough patch–I'd like to be sure that our bullpen can spare him. I feel with Soriano's contract he would pass through waivers. There is no rush to trade him. If we don't need him in late-August or September, there will be a team that will be desperate, and we will get a better deal.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:46 PM
People do not realize how talented the Nats minor league system is, bull pen wise.Putting Krol in that situation means that he's that much more "high sress" ready.I liked what I saw,
- NatsLady - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:47 PM
If you make Clip the closer, you open up a hole in the 8th inning. I'm not sure how it helps anything to swap Soriano and Clippard, and it makes Clip more expensive in arbitration. Now, if you are planning to TRADE Clippard (which would break my pore little heart), then you might want him to close games. But otherwise I don't see the point.
- sjm308 - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:48 PM
NL – you might be right on Soriano passing through waivers and waiting a bit.NJ – I will have to trust you on Castellanos, you get to see these young kids and we don'tSeamhead – the person calling William insightful was Mick so take that with a grain of salt.
- The Real Feel Wood. Accept no substitutes. - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:48 PM
Davey's not quitting and Rizzo's not firing him, so you might as well quit dreaming about that. And as for letting Randy Knorr call the shots from now on with Davey as a figurehead – get real, people. What do you think a bench coach does during the game anyway? He serves as a sounding board for the manager on all in-game moves. You can bet there have been many times when Davey has taken Knorr's advice on a move, even if he doesn't announce it after the game is over. And besides that, in-game strategy is a very small part of what a manager does. I doubt there has ever been a manager fired because of who he sends up as a pinch hitter or when he removes a pitcher. Okay, maybe Grady Little, but that was far from the main reason. More like the straw that broke the camel's back.Knorr may indeed end up with the job next year, but it won't be until after they go after several external candidates first. Girardi, Gardenhire if the Twins fire him, even Cal Ripken. Rizzo was just quoted by Julie Alexandria the other day as referring to Cal as "my buddy." Gee, who's the last big-name ex-Oriole that Rizzo buddied up with? Right, Davey Johnson.Don't be surprised if they even interview Manny Acta. I hope they do, if for nothing else but to see the likes of JayB go apoplectic. In the end, how they finish out this year is going to count for a lot in the managerial search. If they finish strong, chances are better for an in-house candidate. But if they don't, they're more likely to go outside. And if they do go outside, the likes of Joe Girardi won't be turning Rizzo down this time.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:49 PM
NatsLady… the adrenilen rush for a close situation is different from a 4 run lead.Watch how Krol reacted to failing his opportuniy to close. The inside of his glove heard the loudest F bombs ever.
- sjm308 - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:50 PM
NL – with Mattheus coming back sooner than later would he not fit the 8th inning role? They have still not played their hand on who is going down and if Storen stays up people will be screaming but that would be my choice. I know, I know, he has not done well but I still have hopes.As much as I would hate it, I have to think that Clippard brings back more than any other player on our roster. If we are going to make a run, I want them all here – YES William, even Span.
- sjm308 - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:53 PM
I agree strongly with Feel that Davey is not going anywhere and I have never wanted him to. I also agree that Knorr is probably making decisions and has been for most of the season. Davey might not follow them all but I agree that Knorr is that sounding board. One place I doubt that Davey asks for help is with the bullpen and I do think what happened today was all Knorr.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:53 PM
To anyone that thinks Davey uses anybody as a sounding board….. POPPYCOCK. Suzie is the only person on the planet he confers with on anything.
- Joe Seamhead - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:57 PM
My take on Soriano is that he is a better than average closer. Not terrible, but not great,either. I'm glad Rizzo signed him, as Storen has been a disappointment and Clip can only throw so many innings.
- The Real Feel Wood. Accept no substitutes. - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:57 PM
"I never got the impression he minded or thought it was beneath him."Boswell and others have pointed out that Soriano's entire mound routine changes when he's not pitching in a save situation. He doesn't untuck, he doesn't do the look into the cap before each batter, plus many other aspects of his routine. It's like he lives for the save and phones in all non-save appearances. Boswell has also pointed out that Soriano's ERA has been much higher in seasons when he wasn't a closer than in seasons when he was. Case in point, setting up for Mariano Rivera in 2011 his ERA was 4.12. When he closed for the Yankees last year after Rivera got hurt it was 2.26.
- NatsLady - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:58 PM
You could probably get a good return for Clippard, just like the guy in Chicago (Crain), who is also not a "closer" but is outstanding. But I would keep him. He has shown that he, rather than Storen, could be our future closer. He could make Soriano superfluous–he is younger and cheaper.
- JayB - Jul 25, 2013 at 11:59 PM
Njack is right….Davey does not listen to anyone. He also does not ask for anyone's input. To me that is bad….others who think is is smarter than everyone else likely thinks this is great.Njack…..has Davey lost it in your eyes? He sure has made a lot of really pig headed decisions. Putting Storen in last night was all pick headed ego in my view. Njack did you think that was smart?
- JayB - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:00 AM
- NatsLady - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:06 AM
All I know is that when Knorr was managing, Werth was right up next to him talking to him. I have not seen that with Davey, he seems to pace the dugout by himself or look at his notes and his chart on the wall. I don't see a lot of interaction going on.

Suzie is the only person on the planet he confers with on anything.NJ, why do you say that? not being a smart a&% but just wondering the basis for your opinion…Knorr appears to be within earshot of most every decision so have to think he at least "listens"…if he doesn't, why have them or him? in my own opinion, given Davey's history, he leaves Soriano out there as opposed to bringing in Kroll which may have lead to a different outcome.
- The Real Feel Wood. Accept no substitutes. - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:07 AM
NatsJack in Florida said… To anyone that thinks Davey uses anybody as a sounding board….. POPPYCOCK. Suzie's not in the dugout during games, NatsJerk. Randy Knorr's job as bench coach is to be thinking ahead, looking for angles that the manager might miss, and making suggestions. There have surely been times when Davey has taken those suggestions, and other times when he's ignored them. It's also clear that Davey has delegated big chunks of game management to his coaching staff already. You don't see Davey signaling outfield or infield placement, throws over to first, etc, like you see other managers like Mike Matheny doing. Davey sets the tone and lets his coaching staff handle the details.To anyone who thinks the geezer in Del Boca Vista knows it all….. POPPYCOCK. (And boy, talk about your geezer words…)
- NatsLady - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:09 AM
Except with McCatty–Davey does seem to interact with McCatty to some degree. He didn't when he first started managing, he made a lot of mistakes with the bullpen (more than now, really) and eventually trusted Cat's advice, somewhat, anyway. I don't think trust comes easily to Davey.
- baseballswami - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:11 AM
Soriano is a veteran, ex- Yankee closer. He did not want to stay there because he appears to see himself as — a closer, and only a closer. I think it's been quite obvious that he does not treat all relief appearances the same. Well, for all the money he is making he can just get over himself and do what his employers ask him to do. He is no better than anyone else on that roster and he is not worthy of special treatment. It 's a team. Everyone needs to WANT to do whatever will help the team. We have gotten on Drew for having difficulty changing roles and not having the same adrenaline- well he is a babe in the woods compared to Soriano. Suck it the heck up.

Werth and Knorr seem to spend a lot of time interacting every game. Why stop just because Knorr got some additional responsibility today?
- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:12 AM
I don't see anyone taking Soriano, 'specially at Nats Jacks price. Tigers are going to need a shortstop very soon — and already need a second baseman — more than a mediocre closer. (Two losses, four blown saves in roughly 30 opportunities doesn't seem very distinguished to me.) His K rate is way down, and it seems ludicrous that you can trust him to hold a one-rub lead but not a four-run lead. There isn't anybody behind him — Storen (duh), Clippard will get overexposed like last year, Mattheus leads the league in self-inflicted injuries and Garcia is hurt. So, regretfully, I would see getting rid of Soriano as throwing in the towel on 2013. I don't think they can do that. Better hold onto him until September, see if there's an acceptable waiver deal, and then make a push to get him out of town before the winter meetings.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:13 AM
JayB, go back to Game 5. Knorr spoke up afterwards and said he made suggestions to Davey. Davey didn't take Knorr's advice.
- Navy Nats Fan - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:13 AM
I'll tell you what irritates me the most about Soriano – he sulks. Go watch the play where he gave up the Mercer double in the 9th. With runners on 1st and 2nd and a ball hit to the gap, the pitcher has to be behind the plate backing up the catcher well before the throw home. Soriano was still on the mound pouting. Inexcusable.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:13 AM
JayB… I know he's smart. I also know he never thought about what being a lame duck meant to everyone including himself.Yes… his ego is huge but now he realizes it's also old.When he shook my hand last November when I thanked him for giving me my greatest Washington, D.C. experience, he looked me in the I and said, "it's going to be even better next year".I can only imagine how he feels but I can assure you, he means well.I'll get to talk to him once the season is over, but for now, he'll do everything to finish the year strong. He enjoys the Lerner family and truly respects Rizzo.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:18 AM
The only peron in the dugout that does less than the bench coach is the hitting coach. Tarrasco sets the defense, and Davey calls the signals for hitters.
- JayB - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:21 AM
Why not walk away now? Nothing he is doing is helping. Most every decision he makes is backfiring. He knows he is doing a bad job. He is honest and he says so himself and lately even means it.Knorr would give them a better chance to win now and build for the future.Who every said Acta would get an interview is clueless. Not a chance he ever get a Manager job again. Never even get an interview except if Jimbo gets back in the game and with a very cheap ownership group.
- Theophilus T. S. - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:21 AM
Storen is a Snodfa_t grad, so I have a hard time believing isn't aware of what he's doing, doesn't know how to fix it, can't control his emotions — whatever excuse people are providing for him. I observe that this is his option year and — perhaps this unkind but maybe not — possibly he thinks if he keeps on doing things his way two opportunities will open up: (1) he'll turn things around and pitch brilliantly; (2) he'll keep pitching like cr_p and the Nats will non-tender him before some arbitrator gives him a half-million dollar raise.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:25 AM
One final comment…. I get to see these young players in Fall Instructs long before you guys do and I can tell you by far and away, the best pure hitters I've seen are Bryce Harper, Christian Yelich (left handed) and Nick Castellanos (right handed).I'd love Castellanos on the Nats.
- SonnyG10 - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:26 AM

- sjm308 - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:26 AM
NatsJack – Really hard to believe that he goes 9 innings,162 games, with 25 players and 4 or 5 coaches and makes every single decision without at least once asking someone what they think.Glad you get to speak to him and all that but I think you might be a little out of line with the poppycock statement. We get it that you are a true "Insider" hell Mark probably had to get your permission to use it in the blog title. But I will disagree with you on the poppycock. I will say this after 40 years of coaching. If I ever tried to get through a season without using my assistant coaches as sounding boards, it would have been hell. But I am not you or Davey.

Since I obviously took the poppycock thing a little personally, let me also say that my finest year as an assistant coach was when my Head Coach gave me huge responsibilities. Also proud to say that that was the last year the Maryland Men won the ACC Swimming Championship (1969).
- NatsLady - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:30 AM
Theo, usually I respect what you say a lot, but intelligence does not always equate with "controlling your emotions," especially in your twenties. He may be aware of what is going on, but he may not know how to "fix", and even if he knows how to fix it, he may not be able to.
- sjm308 - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:32 AM
NL and Theo – both are excellent points. My money is on Drew figuring it out but I do worry that he might over think before getting it solved. Sometimes you just have to rear back and throw the damn ball.

- baseballswami - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:44 AM
I think Davey had an obvious teacher's pet , who he saw himself in, and I think he has the opposite relationship with Drew. Maybe Drew is going to turn out to be a pitcher who needs to think a lot. They all need to find their own style, like trying to make Stras a contact pitcher, when hecresllt isn't.Maybe trying to make Drew something he is not is actually hindering him. He has a track record, and nasty stuff. I think the injury, the post season, a changing role that is still not all that clear, have all contributed to him being out of kilter. I think he regains himself and is our closer again in a year and a half.
- sjm308 - Jul 26, 2013 at 12:47 AM

Speaking of Werth, but on a different topic. Occasionally I sit at field level, and I've noticed that he seems to get strikes called just below his knees (which would be at the knees for a shorter player). That might explain some of his complaining about the strike zone, but it also made me wonder if the various on-line pitch trackers are adjusted to the height of the player.The NIDO has only one column for tomorrow: I'm going to the early game. I've decided my office will run just fine without me, and (at least in most cases) a bad day at the ballpark beats a good day at the office.ArVAFan

"Poppycock" is actually pretty rude, in Dutch, or at least it used to be. Oddly, it was never an expression in that language; it was coined in the U.S.

Lol Kilgore's piece.Bryce Harper barely remembered the end, but he felt it. The details remained hazy — the ball bouncing around the red seats, his raised fist as he rounded first base, the mix of joy and relief that engulfed Nationals Park. All he knew was his body throbbed in the spot Ryan Zimmerman kept jabbing after his leap into a pile of waiting, exuberant teammates. "He was punching me in the frickin' rib," Harper said, smiling.DON'T HURT BRYCE, RYAN!

There are so very many more comments when we lose.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Jul 26, 2013 at 2:56 AM
Good job AJ
- David Proctor - Jul 26, 2013 at 2:56 AM
Looks like tomorrow Zimmermann vs some guy I've never heard of in the early game and then Ohlendorf vs Harvey in the second game. I sure hope Zimmermann is healthy.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Jul 26, 2013 at 2:58 AM
The Nats need to bring up Joe Hardy.
- Laddie Blah Blah - Jul 26, 2013 at 2:59 AM
Let's get realistic. If the Nats win all 60 of their remaining games, the Braves will have to lose no more than 7 games the rest of the way to beat them out for the division title. I don't think the Braves are up to that.
- David Proctor - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:01 AM
I don't care about whether or not we make the playoffs right now. I did for a very long time but it's admittedly a long shot. I just want us to play competitive ball and if we string some wins together, who knows what might happen. I'm not counting on that though. I just want us to play good ball.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:07 AM
David Proctor said… A.J Cole fantastic in AA debut, 7.0 IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 6K. July 25, 2013 10:38 PM That is indeed very encouraging!
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:07 AM
Think we're being a little harsh on Sori. Guy has been effective many more times than not. So he mailed it in today. We're raving about Krol, but he was actually the one who allowed the hit that drove in the tying runs. Krol deserved this victory about as much as Nixon getting a statue in Hanoi.BTW, the other Sori (Alfonso) pulled from Cubs lineup tonight. Sveum says trade to Yankees is "99 percent certain."
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:09 AM
@David Proctor: I wouldn't give up the ghost right yet. Still got nine head-to-head with the Barves. We should all remember four things about the Barves:1. They're not that good.2. They're injured.3. They choke in September.4. Fredi is a moron.
- David Proctor - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:12 AM
Oh I'm not giving up. I just can't keep thinking about it. It gets tiring worrying so much about what the Braves did this day or did that. It doesn't matter if the Nationals don't play well. If the Nats play well and put together some wins, I'll start getting reinvested in the whole pennant race thing. But the last 6 days were not encouraging.I just hope today was the start of something.

"I don't care about whether or not we make the playoffs right now."The players are grinding. Eight games seems like a lot, but there have been far bigger comebacks. It's a long shot with the status of their rotation, but baseball is an emotional game and the guys looked pumped after that one.Lombo energized the team, and Harper's big walk-off seemed like a shot of adrenaline to the heart of an imminent corpse, like the jolt of lightning Dr. Frankenstein used to wake up the dead guy with the bolt through his neck.Truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction.On the bright side, even if we lose all 60 remaining games, we will enhance out position for next year's amateur draft, reputed to be loaded with talent.We are in a no-lose situation.
- sjm308 - Jul 26, 2013 at 3:38 AM
Laddie – great post for me to leave here – thanks for that and I will "see" you people tomorrowgoing to drink my warm poppycock and hit the sack(after I check with Davey to make sure its ok – he is my sounding board you know)Go Nats!!

Please note that the form this list is using is considered to be defunct.

| Bella falls in love with Jacob causing the Cullens never to come back. |
| Every thing goes the same apart from when Aro asks Bella if she wants to join and thinks of what Edward did to her, and thinks screw him he left. Joins the Volturi, gets with Felix and gets a personality. |
| Bella falls in love with Jacob but 2yrs later Edward returns and can't find Bella for 5 months until he sees her in the woods with Jacob as a wolf. Bella is a shape-shifter too. Sam & the rest of his pack like Bella very much and instantly welcomed her as Jacob imprinted on her. Bella imprinted on him in return ;) Edward goes over the border and tries to steal Bella but she gets herself freed. Edward then kills himself. |
| bella decides that she hates edward so starts going out with mike Newton. then edward comes back and sees mike, he is so jealous thet he killes mike. bella finds out and hates edward even more. edward tries to explain but bella runs off to the quileute rez and jacob imprints on her. edward tries to go after bella but ends up being killed by sam and jacob. jake and bella get married have a kid and live happily ever after |
| When Edward leaves Bella begins cutting herself (bear with me). Alice sees this so she repeatedly calls Edward, who ran away like he said at the end of New Moon, he eventually picks up and Alice tells about Bella's new 'habit'. Edward then realizes that leaving was a huge mistake and rushes back to Forks. Edward comes back just a few months after he left and begs Bella on his knees for forgiveness. Bella lets out her anger and angst by telling Edward how her life was hell when he left and how she cuts herself to take her mind off the pain. After she lets this out Bella forgives Edward. While this was happening the Cullens were moving back to Forks, later revealing that they all greatly missed Bella, even Rosalie but barely. They wolves never come into the story, but Victoria still stalks around Forks, not realizing Edward had come back. Edward reads Victoria's mind before she can pick up his scent (it's possible). And he quickly tells Bella and runs out beginning to fight a unprepared Victoria, much to Bella's horror. The Cullens get there just in time, has Alice had been having visions of the fight, and they kill Victoria together, drawing the attention of the wolves. The wolves aren't happy about the Cullens return, but can't do anything about it. Jacob still has a crush on Bella, but it doesn't turn into love, as they only talked shortly during the meeting. Though the Cullens are back Bella continues cutting herself for no reason. They have an intervention and Bella eventually agrees to stop, but she has to talk to Edward about her cutting and why she did it. After a long emotional conversation Bella agrees to stop cutting herself. Edward still is a little reluctant to change Bella, but when he sees her various scars he changes his mind, knowing neither of them could bear life without each other. Since the wolves were never in the picture Laurent is still alive and with the Denali coven, soon becoming Irina's mate. Edward soon proposes and Bella agrees as long as Edward changed her before their 1st anniversary. They marry and Bella gets pregnant like usual, but the wolves don't think she's pregnant since the Cullen's haven't tried to flee Forks. Edward still thinks the baby is a monster and wants it to be killed, but Bella won't agree. She's has the help of Esme instead of Rosalie, since Rosalie never got to tell her story to Bella, the Cullens, with the help of research, figure out the Bella needs blood and they give her some which she drinks as in Breaking Dawn. Bella has an emergency C-section like usual, but Jacob never imprints of Renesmee, since he never sees her. Bella is changed and the 3 months as a vampire go as usual. Since Irina was never angry at the wolves for killing Laurent she never tells the Volturi and they never find out. Nahuel comes in when he's exploring the world with Hulien and he tells to Cullen's about hybrids. Causing the Cullens to not worry and their lives are bliss. |
| Victoria nearly kills Bella after Edward left her in the woods. Jasper is passing by, wanting to apologize to her, and smells her scent going of into the woods. He saves her, etc. and it becomes a Jasper/Bella story. Lol. |
| Bella picks Jacob instead of Edward, Billy walks again (he got rid of his diabetes), Sam broke up with Emily and got back together with Leah, Seth imprinted on a young 14 year old from Georgia, Edward got killed by the Volturi |
| Bella meets another vegetarian vampire clan and falls in love with the vampire boy who is Jasper's half brother and got married after Bella became a vampire. |
| In Volterra Bella is bleeding from a cut she got by slamming into the fountain, Aro smells Bella and wants a taste. Edward is tackled by Felix and Demetri and has to watch. Alice is restrained by Jane and Alec. Aro simply bits Bella and starts drinking. Heidi returns with the spectator and they all scream. Demetri, Felix, Jane, Alec and Aro all rush over to feed on the witnesses while Edward and Alice rush to save Bella. They take her in a car to a hotel. While in the car Edward sucks the venom out for a second time. She stays in a type of coma. Thinking she was turning into a vampire the rest of the Cullens fly out to Italy. Bella wake to find herself in an empty room of a hotel. Thinking shes dead she gets up and walks out of the door. She sees James standing in the middle of the living room he torments her again until she screams and hears Edward's voice and wakes up she is fine and fly back to Forks. And Eclipse goes as normal!!!!!! |
| My ending's too long for this page. Go here to read mine. |
- Feel free to keep the list going!
| Everything goes the same, but Bella decides to get angry with the Cullens. She fills a gas can, goes to the Cullens, and starts flipping out, emptying the gas can out with anger. The Cullens watch with horror as she lights a match, and drops it... Instead of everything bursting in flames, the match goes out. Bella bursts out laughing and says "It was water. Don't leave me next time, or it WILL be gasoline" |
| Jasper kills Bella, Edward tries to kill Jasper but Alice defends him. Jasper escapes. Edward goes crazy and kills Emmett. Rosalie also goes crazy and kills Edward. Alice leaves to find Jasper before she gets killed. Esme fights Rosalie and Rosalie dies. Carlisle sighs and leaves with Esme to go find Alice and Jasper, who have joined the Volturi guard. Carlisle and Esme stay with the Volturi. Alice, Jasper, Carlisle and Esme are still vegetarian. The end |
| Jasper killed Bella AND Edward, Jacob never changed.... The saga would be perfect if it ended that way. |
| Bella transformed into a shape- shifter and then she killed Edward after he came back.. |
| Bella turns into a vampire then burned. Poor bella |
| after Jacob goes crazy he tries to kill Edward but Bella attempts to use mace to hol Jacob down but it jabs Jacob in the heart Edward tries to carry Bella away but he falls on her and breaks her ankle Edward falls into a camp fire killing him Bella crawls to Jacob who is dying and Bella sheds a tear when Jacob stops breathing. |
| Edward gets killed by the Volturi and Bella gets killed by Laurent. |
| the Volturi kill bella and jacob dies then the cullens go human diet and go to alaska the end |
| All the wolves go amok except seth and leah and irina never reports the cullens to the volturi carlisle finds out renesmee will never die and she mates with nahuel. |

At least they haven't killed OO and virtualbox.. Yet..
Phoronix: Well, It Looks Like Oracle Fails At OpenSolaris In 1H
Once upon a time the successor to OpenSolaris 2009.06 was supposed to be OpenSolaris 2010.02 and then it became OpenSolaris 2010.03 with a release date in March and then who knows what happened. There hasn't been an update to the OpenSolaris operating system now in a year nor has there been any communication at all to developers or end-users by Oracle about their plans after taking over Sun Microsystems. All indications were that Oracle would at least deliver an OpenSolaris update in 2010'1H, but it looks like that won't happen...
At least they haven't killed OO and virtualbox.. Yet..
H is the 8th letter, so they obviously mean 2010."8th" = 2010.August.
Though the dev repo has stopped being updated due to the iminant release. Source code has continued to be released as normal (now at b142+).
Goto blastwave.org for docs on upgrading b134 to b142.
"It's dead, Jim."
I won't give up on it yet.
Well.. Not until FreeBSD 8.1 anyway.

With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. It's a basic ninjutsu even taught at the Academy, but it's a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations, as it allows for a swift getaway from danger. The technique even allows a restrained shinobi to escape capture.[2]
Trivia Edit
- This technique is based on a real-life ninja art, kawarimi. It was an ancient ninja art revolving around misdirection and the split-second timing of a switch between a 'body' and a location, or between two or more bodies: A technique utilised by ninja in ancient Japan, involving the ninja and anything that can be mistaken for them, (such as a dummy or a mannequin). As it means "a quick shift in position, or adaptability to changing circumstances", it is also utilised in Sumo.
- This technique is sometimes referred to as the Empty Cicada Technique (空蝉の術, Utsusemi no Jutsu) in other stories (not to be confused with the Empty Cicada Shell Technique, which bears the exact same kanji). This name refers to the empty shell a cicada leaves after moulting.
- In Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2, Akamaru is seen using this technique, except instead of using a log, he uses a bone.

Clémentine Deliss, director of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, talks about about the possibility of a post-ethnographic and post-colonial museum, and about the strategies that she has tested in recent years to counteract the ideology of conservation.

She also discusses the methodology that she uses to rewrite regional histories based on the analysis of documents and the production of knowledge.

The travails of winter in the Canyon
Will Farris Staff Writer
The official beginning of winter is Dec. 21, but we have had the cold, snow and rain for about two months now. Already weary of feeding the woodstove, I have to wonder when this season will end. One of the events that takes place when the mercury drops and the skies open up is a mouse infestation.
Oreo, the inside kitty cat, made this apparent when she woke me up in the middle of the night, whining because her toy had found a hidey hole. She is pretty good at catching mice, but reluctant to administer the final blow because they are just so much fun to play with. I rescued the critter and dispatched it amidst the protestations of brat cat.
Over the next few nights the mousetrap in the laundry room efficiently did in a couple more mice. Then one morning upon arising I found a present from Oreo placed on the threshold of the bedroom door — a dead mouse. Has the great feline hunter finally learned to destroy these destructive pests?
Not really, the mouse was still attached to the trap.
The winter has also brought rumblings of discontent from residents of Rush Creek Road. Snow removal has become a bit spotty down here. One snowfall, a light one, went by without even the hint of a plow. The latest storm that dumped four to six inches went untended until 9:30 p.m. Finally having finished my Christmas cards, I was in somewhat of a rush to get them mailed.
It was already Dec. 20 and if there was any hope of getting the cards to their recipients in time, they had to go out that afternoon. I waited until 3 p.m. and finally braved the snow and mailed the cards. On the way back home, the truck slipped off the road into a neighbor's yard – four-wheel drive fully engaged.
I engaged the differential lock and managed to creep back to the road surface and make it into my driveway. Stormy Rittgers, the Twain postmaster, slipped off the road twice before she finally made it to her house. We are beginning to feel like Plumas County orphans down here. Rush Creek Road rises steeply from Highway 70, and gravity plays a large part in safely negotiating its many turns.
While I understand the importance of plowing out Quincy, we down in the ditch deserve a little attention too. We would like to see a plow come down before noon, then go back up and finish Quincy. A couple of us have made calls to the road department, and are waiting for the next snow event to see if service improves.
The early onset of cold weather has put the bears to bed. We haven't had near the problems with these walking stomachs that we had in the past three years. But when spring does finally get here, they will wake up pretty hungry. I guess the time to deal with that will come in its time. No sense borrowing trouble from the future.

Rihanna Gets Political In Her New 'American Oxygen' Video
November 21st, 2012
Britney Spears' recently revealed her favourite videos of all time by the pop star, which includes her hits Baby One More Time and Oops! … I Did It Again because she created what she believes are very "appealing" scenarios for them.
Britney told Perez Hilton "My first video was Baby One More Time. I think I was 18 or 17 years old … It was my idea to have the whole schoolgirl outfit and us being at school and having the dance numbers throughout it. Actually Oops! was one of my favourite videos. The whole concept was us being on the planet Mars, it's just a really out there concept which I thought would be really appealing to people."
The X Factor US judge, who got engaged to her manager Jason Trawick in December 2011, has learned to love the video making process over time and is conscious of the fact her fans love seeing her in action and feel like they can "connect" with her through her promos. Britney, 30, mused "I think I understand the video process is really important for all of us as artists because it's our one and only chance to really, really connect with the fans on screen and for them to see us in our work."

OMG I'm finally caught up to speed. This thread will probably make more sense now reading it backwards :D
Personal preference - I'd like to see clean programmes from Yu-Na, Mirai, Racheal and Carolina.
On a side note, can't believe how nail-bitingly close and exciting this world championship's has been in all disciplines.
I think Mao is going to be loaded for bear, so forgive my skepticism about Caro placing higher. My take on Carolina is that she's a great frontrunner (eg Euros, where she was still the marquee name), but has trouble breaking to the front from the middle of the pack.
Like the "$peedy"; it's almost like an ideogram
Ok. This thread is going into interesting directions..........
In my opinion, I think if Carolina manages to finally skate to her potential, she may just challenge for the gold. She has the speed to rival Yuna and the judges love her as they are always generous with her PCS no matter how much she bombs. She was 2nd in 2008 with less than perfect performances, so I wonder how far she will go if she actually do skate clean for once. And plus, she does have hometown advantage.
I think if she skates well, she might end up in a Jeremy Abbott situation. Her PCS this season have been high enough, but where she keeps bombing I think she has to really prove herself in order to get top PCS marks. If she is perfectly clean, then yeah, most likely she'll medal, but if she performs like she did at Euros (not a meltdown, but not that great) she'll likely be in the top 10 but off the podium.
I agree, she may redeem herself after the Olympics, but where so much went wrong 3 weeks ago, and has been going wrong all season excpet for Euros, which she only won because of PCS and it was a splatfest, I tend to think her issues are kind of deep rooted and will be hard to overcome all of a sudden. She's also likely tired, which could be good or bad.
I think at this time, top ten would be a realistic and actually better goal for Caro. Just take one step at a time.
But can Carolina accept that and skate within herself to reach that goal? As miki88 mentioned, this is her hometown competition, her pride is in tatters after Olys, and her standing as the dean of European skaters is in jeopardy. Will she have the inner grit to use this negative energy to bounce back in a systematic way like Mao did earlier this year? My own view is that she is not that emotionally disciplined, and is likely to be impulsive, set extremely high expectations for herself (want to get all the way back in one go, no intermediate steps required, visions of gold hanging around her neck while giving interviews to RAI), and then crumble under the self-imposed pressure.
Stock brokers went on strike and Diana collapsed the market there with her win at Olys. Can you imagine that? It just shows you how idiotic and superficial it is! South Korea wants to demonstrate to the western world koreans can beat westerns at their own game by showcasing Kim's supremacy. In reality, it just shows how insecure and inferior they feel at world stage. I doubt a healthy and confident society would go nuts over a figure skater to that kind of magnitude.
It's just figure skating!! Doing a 3+3 is not going to save people in starvation.
