Today's scheduled game against the Pirates has been postponed due to today's expected heavy rain.
No makeup date has been announced, but Pittsburgh returns to town July 1-3. A doubleheader on Saturday, July 2 is a possibility.
This is already the fourth Nationals game this season to be postponed due to rain.
UPDATE AT 2:25 P.M. — If you haven't heard this news yet: Jordan Zimmermann, today's scheduled starter, will be skipped over in the rotation due to today's rainout. There's nothing wrong with Zimmermann, it's just an opportunity for the Nats to limit his innings count, something they've been planning to do all year. So Tom Gorzelanny will start tomorrow night's game in New York, with Livan Hernandez following on Thursday. Jason Marquis, John Lannan and Zimmermann will then pitch in Baltimore next weekend.
In other news today, the Nationals have placed left-hander Oliver Perez on the roster at Class AA Harrisburg. Perez, signed to a minor-Read more »

I also want to commend ownership for cancelling early. This is the 2nd time they have made this kind gesture to the fan base. I know it costs teams in the wallet cancelling but it was the right thing to do with the ugly forecast.

It may be too early in the forecast, but can they cancel LaRoche's contract, or at least re-write the terms of compensation? Jus' kiddin'! (sorta)God bless the fat kid.
- UNTERP.NAT - May 17, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Doc said… I love his glove, but waiting until July for your 1st baseman to start hitting is a bit ungainly. Torn labrum aside, why is it that it takes LaRoche so long to get going? Your 1st baseman has to produce at the plate. For most teams the season is over by July. I guess like when Zimmerman returns it will be like getting two good FAs, one a 3rd baseman, the other a DH…
- SCNatsFan - May 17, 2011 at 5:06 PM
Well, look at it this way… all of Lee, Pena and LaRoche are battling to see who the worst signing was. No matter which of the three we signed the results would seem to be about the same.

I disagree. LaRoche has probably saved as many runs with his glove as he's cost us with his bat. I have a really good view from where I sit (Sec. 130) and I can tell you the TV doesn't do justice to how wild some of those throws to first are. He's frustrating me with how awful at the plate he's been but man am I glad to have him there over Dunn. Very underappreciated defensively.
- Doc - May 17, 2011 at 5:41 PM
You can add The Big Donkey to the list of underperforming 1B men (Lee, Pena and LaRoche). Although Dunn seems to be winning the Battle of the Medoza Line with LaRoche.

@Anon 12:25 — I'm at work in Arlington and it was just pouring rain out. The radar I looked at shows nothing but green stuff headed our way for the foreseeable future. I'm sure that if they didn't call the game when they did and waited until there were 2 or 3 hours-long rain delays, you would have popped up here to complain that they didn't call the game earlier.
- Mr Old Style - May 17, 2011 at 5:53 PM
Still not raining. Still sick from so many 1$ dogs last night. I saw people with platters stacked with hot dogs. Crazy. It seemed like a lot more people in the park than either Sat or Sun. Wonder how the numbers turned out for the team after all the discounts. I would think just fine.

I have no problem when they canceled the game back in early April when it was Nor'easter, but all they had to do this time is look at the freaking radar to tell that all the weather was north and west of town. Later there was suppose to be heavy rain and probably will but they could have gotten this game in easily.

I'm not much of a Lerner-conspiracy person, but I do wonder if they were any quicker about the call if they saw an opportunity to reschedule something on a weekend where it might bring in more money than a Tuesday mid-day game. At least there would have been less incentive to play through the weather today if they thought they could get more money with July 4 tourists in town that weekend.I am NOT playing the "Lerners are cheap" card. Just speculating about whether this is really a bad call for them to have cancelled after all.
- rogieshan - May 17, 2011 at 8:00 PM
Other 1st basemen the Nats considered are also off to mediocore start: Branyan, Overbay, Cantu and Hawpe. However, Casey Kotchman is not doing too badly (.300+ BA) in limited ABs in Tampa. His defense is even better than LaRoche's.
- UNTERP.NAT - May 17, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Like I said, it will be like the Nats became an American League team and just got a FA DH if and when LaRoche starts hitting…

Agree completely with "Ernie". I go by the general rule, if something doesn't seem to make sense then "Follow the Money" and the money here is on a day-night double header on the July 4th weekend.

Do you guys really think the Lerners are the ones to cancel a game? MLB does the cancelling, folks. Come on.I like the fact that we can naturally limit JZimm's innings here, but look for him to be a bit wild becaus he's overrested and all amped up.
- Les in NC - May 17, 2011 at 8:43 PM
@ Ernie & MurrayCan you blame them? With the $1 tickets yesterday, the attendance was inflated a bit. Tonight's rainy game would have been laughable (on Tuesday against the Pirates). So if they can get 10-15 thousand more butts in the seats on the weekend of the 4th, more power to 'em. It's more fun to watch a game with a larger crowd anyway, IMO.
- Ernie - May 17, 2011 at 8:47 PM
@Les I don't blame them at all. No one could have known with certainty what the weather was going to do today. That's what I was trying to make clear – i'm not really upset. I'm just thinking it makes sense financially and had to be part of the considerations when they decided to cancel.I'd rather they reschedule later anyway – I'd prefer to be able to go to the game in July than to try to watch online during the work day today.

I can understand Zimmermann being skipped. What I do not understand Mark is why is he not pitching Sunday, That would be his next scheduled turn since he didn't pitch today. You Gorzilanny pitching tomorrow and Sunday (why bring him back on 3 days rest>)

Am I right in recalling it was the Pirates who screwed the Nats up some weeks ago, making us play a make-up game on Easter up in Pittsburgh that easily could have been played the day befoe — and they made us wait for a night game too!!! Meanwhile, the Nats had to sit around in Pittsburgh all day Easter cancelling plans with their families — all so Pitts could make a little loose change that night. I think the attendance was something like 10K that night too. Maybe the cancellation was payback — telling the Pirates – "We owe you one — go home — come back in July and we'll make a little more money — this time at your expense."

- Anonymous8 - May 17, 2011 at 10:50 PM
N. Cognito, if you don't think the home team doesn't try to get an advantage on their opponent when setting timing of a postponement then you don't know as much as you think.
- Nats Outsider - May 17, 2011 at 11:00 PM
I, for one, am happy and relieved that today's game was cancelled. The Nats can use the day of rest.Look at the schedule: The have 8 road games coming up with no break. If they had played today, they would have had 16 consecutive playing games without am off day. Send a thank you note to the misinformed weather forecasters.Besides, the Nats really need to play well tomorrow and Thursday against the Mets. The Mets are only one game behind the Nats in the standings, and psychologically, it will really hurt if the Nets take two and move past the Nats.The Nats have been propping themselves up with reminders that they are around .500 without Zimmerman. Well and good–that's nothing to sneeze at for this club. And it is WAY better than saying, "We just sank into the cellar, and there is no prospect of getting Zimmerman back for about another month at least." Maybe a day off will help the Nats do well over the next week, and especially over the next two days.
- Tim - May 17, 2011 at 11:14 PM
Mark,To help me understand… who actually "calls" the cancellation? Then, who, in turn, determines the rescheduling of that game.Can you clear that up for me?Thanks!
- SonnyG10 - May 17, 2011 at 11:35 PM
Rescheduling opportunities are not all that abundant. You have to have a day when nither club has a game scheduled, or you double up the next time you play them. There are just not a lot of choices.

- The Whiner Family - May 17, 2011 at 11:59 PM
Why didn't they play today? It didn't rain. Reminds me of that time when we all sat there at the park waiting for the rain to stop, but they kept making us wait and said that the game would start soon. But it never did. So we went home. My program looked like a wet paper bag by the end. Which reminds me, why can't our batters hit better? Oh, and they ran out of hot chocolate, too. Speaking of running, why can't the Nats run the bases better? Also, the Lerner's are cheap.
- Unkyd - May 18, 2011 at 12:33 AM
It's not rocket science. The home team decides to call the game, they make it up the next opportunity that presents itself. I think I've heard of make ups at the away team's park, in late season desperation situations.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - May 18, 2011 at 12:38 AM
@Tim, not to usurp Mark's pride of place, but perhaps clarify rainout protocols a bit: until the lineup cards are handed to the home plate umpire, the home team owns the decision on whether the field is, or as in this case, will be, playable, but they do need a good reason. In situations like playoff games, the league gets involved, but a Nats-Pirates game in May is unlikely to interest them much.Once the ump has the lineups, it is exclusively up to him.
- N. Cognito - May 18, 2011 at 1:16 AM
I have no doubt teams reschedule games so that it is to their advantage as much as possible – which is usually very little. I don't for a minute believe they reschedule them to screw the other team.
- Anonymous8 - May 18, 2011 at 1:34 AM
N. Cognito – So, someone somewhere said another team tried to "screw" the visiting team by rescheduling a postponed game?I don't know who wrote it as I skimmed over the dozens of posts and saw you write the word "screw" in your 6:30 post so I am not getting the context or why it is such a big deal.Use this thread as an example why teams wait and wait to get games in as people find a freaking way to complain on both sides of the issue. I sat through that Randy Johnson rain delay for hours and it was excruciating so I am in the camp that feels that based on a 90% forecast like today that a cancellation seemed a lock and the team did the right thing. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't….

Thanks Mark for clearing the Sunday pitcher, I was hoping it was something simple like mis-thinking as you were typing. Lord knows I have done that enough.
- Mark Zuckerman - May 18, 2011 at 1:52 AM
You guys already answered the question, but to confirm: The home club decides whether to postpone a game before it begins. Once the lineup cards are exchanged, it's in the umpires' hands. (The exception to this is when it's a team's last game in that city for the season, in which case the umps and MLB are in control.)As for scheduling make-up games, the home club (in consultation with the visiting club, MLB and the players' union) announces the date and time.
- natsfan1a - May 18, 2011 at 2:14 AM
Clicked over to the Phillies/Cards game on MLB Network and saw in the baseline scroll that Manny Acta will be an AL coach at the All-Star Game this year. So a former and a current Nats manager will be taking part. How about that? (Of course, some commenters' heads might explode, but not mine. :-))
- Anonymous - May 18, 2011 at 2:52 AM
Since when does a ball club call a game based on the forecast of scattered showers — before a drop falls from the sky? Doesnt happen. And we all know that. As some have already mentioned, ball clubs will stop – start — stop — and start games dodging rain drops for hours until a game gets in. I have seen a three hour game take 8 hours to complete allowing for bad weather. And today, a game gets called after a brief shower? Nah The only thing that makes sense is the idea that Pittsburgh was owed one for their outrageously bad handling of the Easter weekend — the management must have been pretty pissed. But today was a great chance to get some payback and then some — postpone the game (expected to be pretty soggy and miserable) to a potentially nice July 2 or 3 weekend game, allowing many more fannies to fill the seats.Sounds like win- win to me.The posters that lash out and namecall using "pathetic" and "sad" and "poor example for young readers" are exactly all of the former — and truly need to have fun in a baseball blog — no hostility. How sick is that?

Oliver Perez goes to Harrisburg? Can Syracuse be far now for Bradley Peacock? Now there's an interesting rotation for us to ponder? Yuniesky Maya, Bradley Meyers, and now Craig Stammen with Tom Milone at the back are starting to come together and put up some impressive stats. Detwiler appears to be floundering as usual as he and Mock seemed to find a way to perennially do. Bradley Peacock looks staged to enter that rotation? Right now the Chiefs are using fan favorite Josh Wilkie as a closer but he doesn't have a power arm. Have to wonder if Van Allen might get promoted to fill that need?

N.

Rain in the area must have been scattered, but hard between 10 am and 6 pm yesterday it rained where I was in Manassas 4 times, twice extremely hard. Our schools called off it games as it was pouring at 1, Poured again at 4, I wasn;'t surprised at all that the game was called early. I kind of prefer that.

Guatemala is a country in Central America bordered by Mexico to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. A representative democracy, its capital is Guatemala City. It has fascinating and extensive Mayan ruins. It's importance stretches back to 800BC with recently discovered pre-Colombian ruins that were unexpectedly large. El Mirador was by far the most populated city in pre-Columbian America. Both the El Tigre and Monos pyramids encompass a volume greater than 250,000 cubic meters. Mirador was the first politically organized state in America, with 26 cities all connected by Sacbeob (highways). These roads were several kilometers long, up to 40 meters wide, and two to four meters above the ground paved with stucco - clearly visible from the air. The height of the Maya civilization is represented by countless sites throughout Guatemala, although the largest concentration is in Petén. This period is characterized by heavy city-building, and the development of independent city-states. This lasted until around 900 AD, when the Classic Maya civilization collapsed.

Clemens faces familiar Angels in third big league start
Rookie opposes LA's Williams, seeking second career win vs. Houston
Paul Clemens is one of several rookies in the Astros' rotation attempting to solidify himself as a reliable starting option entering Spring Training. He'll have a chance Sunday against a familiar foe.
Although Sunday will mark Clemens' third Major League start, he's already made three appearances against the Angels. Clemens made 30 relief appearances before joining the rotation and he struggled against a potent Los Angeles lineup, giving up four runs (three earned) in 3 2/3 innings with a pair of home runs.
Clemens will try to contain Howie Kendrick, who has a pair of singles, a double, an RBI and two runs scored since returning from a 33-game absence with a hyperextended knee on Friday. Chris Iannetta has also proven a problem for Astros pitching, homering in the first two games of the even series.
"I didn't really have many expectations coming back to playing every day," Kendrick said.
He'll try to stay hot to back Angels starter Jerome Williams, who has a 1-4 career record against the Astros, but a 3.92 ERA and a pair of quality starts earlier this season. He didn't last five innings the last time he faced Houston, though, allowing three runs in 4 1/3 innings of an Aug. 16 loss.
Astros: Crowe provides different look in three-hole
Outfielder Trevor Crowe hit third against the Angels on Saturday, and manager Bo Porter said he might again on Sunday. But Crowe, who is hitting .246 with just one homer in 46 games, is not your traditional three-hole hitter.
"Well, balance-wise it fits good with our lineup," Porter said. "One, that he's a switch-hitter. We have two speed guys in front of him [Jonathan Villar and Jose Altuve]. Trevor Crowe's a good fastball hitter. When you have two speed guys in front of him, you're going to see some more fastballs. Just from a balance standpoint of having a right-handed bat against a lefty has allowed him to get some good pitches and has driven in some big runs for us."
Crowe went 0-for-3 with a walk and run scored Saturday, and has 12 RBIs on the season.
Angels: Both backstops deserve playing time
As a Major League catcher for 13 seasons, Angels manager Mike Scioscia knows the importance of balancing rest for a catcher over a 162-game season. And with two capable backstops on his club, Scioscia doesn't have to worry about overworking either Iannetta or Hank Conger.
"They've shared the burden physically," Scioscia said. "There's not one guy that's been out there. Chris and Hank have been out there for, at this point in the season, 120 to 130 games. They've had time to catch their breath at times during the season."
Iannetta started the first two games at Minute Maid Park, going 4-for-8 with a double, two homers, three runs scored and three RBIs.
Worth noting
• With a 10-8 record against their new divisional rivals, the Astros enter Sunday's finale guaranteed to win the season series.

The Boston Globe reports that parents and caregivers of depressed children, concerned by recent links of new anti-depressants to suicidal behavior, are in a quandary as they seek alternative therapies for their children. According to doctors, the best choice is to combine drugs with talk therapy. However, a scarcity of child psychiatrists and inadequate insurance coverage for mental illness prevent access to these services by most consumers and their families. According to today's article, primary-care physicians see 75 percent of children with psychiatric disorders, but they are unprepared to provide adequate diagnoses and treatment for mental illness. Their reluctance to prescribe drugs or recommend alternative therapies will only serve to anger families of depressed children. Dr. Ken Duckworth, NAMI's medical director, is quoted in the article: "What'll happen is the advocates and the family will say this is outrageous. You're telling me my kid can't get any treatment because you guys are afraid to prescribe it." Read the full article from The Boston Globe (opens new browser window)

Resources such as? Or are you just saying you don't have the time?
Resources such as? Or are you just saying you don't have the time?
I say we should still get rid of all the solaris crap, but i've been seeing less of it lately. That's good.
I enjoy seeing a lot of technical & in depth data - e.g with the latest story about the recently release amd docs, it summarises what's actually in the documentation & whatnot. Stories like that, news about what amd/nvidia/intel/sun/whoever are up to, and in detail, appeal to me.
As a thought for something else - maybe a "user impressions" area or something for distros and that sort of thing, though I guess it would take some more moderating time.
Just my 2c.
Michael, would it be an idea when phoronix members have the opportunity to bring their own reviews and test to the table? in a special member section for this purpose? I would love to get my hands on more compares and tests.
I think this is a horrible idea. I know we live in a very visual world and all, but video is just not the right medium to do this. Written information has no match in this area; its clarity, accuracy and precision can't be obtained by other means, alongside the inherent convenience of the format itself. Also, if they were to have any informational value, the scope covered would be very restricted to simple operations performed on a GUI--imagine having to pause and zoom the movie to check what icon to click or command to type--therefore challenging the idea of the need for a tutorial.Linux How-To Videos - Would you be interested in videos of how to perform different operations within Linux?
Where videos work is where you just want to show something, as opposed to explain it. Many Phoronix stories are related to graphical developments in unix world, and you definitely have room there to make something that works; who knows, show people the Phoronix test suite (which I bet not many have seen in action, myself included), games that are to arrive (or are thought to), new or redesigned applications (last week it was Gimp, for instance), new stuff in the drivers field, whatever.
As a suggestion, I'd propose to create some user editable content with the scope of setting up some documentation (oh, wait, that's called a wiki, I bet it's been already suggested). The idea is based on the fact that Phoronix forums are full of geeks that won't hesitate to install the latest code from git or wherever and start trying to overcome any problems encountered. A forum is not the right tool to store information in the long term, since bits are scattered all across the board and they are not organized in any meaningful way. There's definitely a lot of good information in this forum that deserve a better place than some threads here and there. As a side effect, and since new users would be potentially better informed about how to do something, the noise level in the forums could be lower, leaving more space for what they're best suited for: open discussion.
I wish a performance comparision between OpenSolaris 2008.11 and Linux!
Oh sorry I miss this: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...way_2008&num=1
my request is now solved
Hi, there.

It's here!!! And it's awesome...missed the FedEx delivery and had to drive over to the hub but I got it...I did get quite a surprise when I opened the case and compartment...And found a visitor!!!
when I opened the compartment in the case there was a large dead cockroach in the accessory bag....scared the crap out of me! Wondered if it was sort of a bad omen......that thought was quickly pushed out of my head once i started playing the guitar.....just hoped it didn't lay eggs! Bleh!!!
ran it through a bunch of my Amps.....killer killer guitar! Brent absolutely crushed it with these!!!
This guitar with sweet switch engaged and a klon or klone...into a variety of amps is ridiculous!!!
I should add...that the seller was great! He packed the compartment with material to keep things from getting loose...I think this big guy hitched a ride on the stuff he used...there was no ther way for it to get in the case...yuck!
When you said there was a roach in the case I thought you meant, oh never mind.
So, I've been to college, the names just sorta popped into my head - even though I was always just an observer..

The list (of the ones I omitted) is exhaustive. Not wanting to derail the thread, but as we oogle Bob's cool new guitar (congratulations, BTW!), maybe we should work in our favorite nickname for his apocalypse resistant passenger....

Then we use those traits to search our entire ConsumerViewSM database and find the best prospects who have similar characteristics — resulting in more effective marketing campaigns.
Getting Started
1) Decide Which Customers to Clone?
Each business has unique needs in terms of selecting whom to include on a clone my customer list from Experian. Your consumer prospect list might include:

- Loyal customers who have the highest loyalty to or longevity with your business
- Recent buyers who are likely to respond to seasonal or new product offers
- Customers who demonstrate a buying pattern, such as premium product buyers or those who have purchased three times in the last three months
However you decide to determine your best population to clone, the cloning process will profile those customers for you and find people who have similar characteristics and therefore have a higher propensity to purchase from you.
2) Create your cloned prospect file

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Gallery: Prefabulous Tree Top Cabin Goes Out on a Limb at Sweden's Tree...
Prefabricated off site then trucked to the hotel's location, the Cabin was then raised into the trees and set into place.
Access to the Cabin is gained via a footbridge leading to a spacious deck on top of the actual living quarters. The site for the room was chosen specifically for its high ground and steep slope to provide easier access to the room and dramatic views through the forest. The shape of the deck was designed around the space between the trees, and the room is suspended from the deck, which helps it appear smaller and hidden. Designed as a capsule with rounded corners, the room is meant to look foreign amongst the tall trees.
A steep staircase from the deck leads down into the room below, which contains a small bathroom under the stairs, a double bed and a sitting area. The room's facade is rather unconventional and is made from engineered fabrics used on lorries and trailer covers. Prefabricated off site then trucked to the hotel's location, the Cabin was then raised into the trees and set into place. Nightly rates for the Cabin during the summer are 3990 SKr for two people including breakfast.

This is a nice, simple, small backpack. My first grader is using it for school. It fits him well, and it holds the things he needs to carry (lunch, papers, homework folder.) It would be a fine small pack for me as well. It has no bells or whistles, The material is heavy enough to last at least through the school year (hopefully longer, but he wore through two (different) bags last year so I'm not holding my breath) and the seams are well-stitched. The front pocket is on the small side, if I were using it myself that would bother me, but it's fine for my son. It was exactly what I was looking for, we're both very happy with it.
I am taking a seven-week geology/botany course that includes some fairly strenuous hiking. My school backpack was just too large and heavy, so I began the task of hunting for something smaller and lighter, but I also wanted something that had a bit of style. I was surprised at how difficult it was to find something to my taste that would get the job done. I knew a fashion backpack was out of the question (believe me, I TRIED to justify a beautiful yellow leather backpack/purse, but I came to my senses), but was style too much to ask for? Nope. I found this one, and I have really been enjoying it. I loved the look so much that bought two colors: red and beige. It functions just fine on these treks, which we take twice a week. It is lightweight and easy to slip on and off. Because of its smaller size, I am aware that I cannot overstuff it with unnecessary items, so I keep it fairly light, but when needed, it can hold a surprising amount. Yesterday, I had in it: one lightweight rain jacket; a crushable rain hat; a change of clothing, a small towel (we were told we might get wet on the hike), my wallet and a water bottle. Oh, and a small sketchpad. I won't always need the jacket, hat, change of clothes or towel, but it was a nice surprise that I could get all of that in there and still have the load light enough to walk and climb comfortably. Only downside for me is that there are no inner pockets, but the front outer pocket is roomy enough for pens, cell phone, etc. Haven't had to wash it yet, so I cannot speak to how durable it will be once put through the wash, but so far I am happy. Oh, and I like that I can go from class to running errands with this; it's that cute.
This was the perfect size for the "free personal item" you could bring on the airline we were flying on. I bought it for my husband in black, it worked good for him and he liked the front pocket.
Very cute, good price, but it lasted 3 months. The zipper was awful from the begining. Always got stuck, finaly one broke after 2 months, then the other went out a month later.
Bought these to be given to a church project. I was surprised at how fast they arrived and how nice they looked. Looked like good quality.
My son use it for college, just the right size for him, he like it very much, and ít gỗ quality for the price. I would buy from this brand again.
The backpack itself is sturdy and looks good. However, there seems to be an odor in the fabric.

Once again back it's the incredible series that dares to go where only drunken bar bets have before. This time, Jason Toon and Matthew Norman focus on a question that barely effects us all: Who would win in a fight, a bobcat or a person?
My money's on the person by Jason Toon
Zoologists are divided on whether the bobcat is the smallest of the big cats, the biggest of the small cats, or the sole member of its own phylogeneric microclass, medium-sized cats. But one question about this tufty-faced feline has been definitively resolved through empirical observation: a dude could totally whoop up on a bobcat.
Whether through strangling, judicious use of a geologist's hammer, or strangling, alert humans have bested the bobcat time and again.
Some would say that the shock of encountering a threatening bobcat would overwhelm a typical person's faculties, reducing him or her to so much defenseless bobcat chow. But Homo sapiens didn't climb out of the muck by coming in second-best to what is essentially a steroidal family pet. When the veneer of civilization falls away, man's savage animal nature takes over. Cupcakes and Snuggies aside, it turns out we can be pretty bad-ass when the bobcat hits the fan.
"A 62-year-old Florida man depended on his instincts when a bobcat attacked him, and it paid off," says the Fox News account of a 62-year-old Floridian's bobcat triumph. Even taking into account that network's notorious bias in favor of foxes, those words should give pause to any bobcat who's considering having a go. "I started choking it when got a good hold," said Dale Rippy of Wesley Chapel, Florida. "I choked it 'til he died. I got scratched up pretty good." Does that sound like prey talking?
Bobcats are also known to be genetically susceptible to the "Hey, what's that? Look over there" routine, a vulnerability that evolution has eradicated from most terrestrial predators. Combined with the bobcat's lack of natural defenses against the two-fingered eye-gouge, we can conclude that any member of the Three Stooges would be well-equipped to survive a hostile bobcat encounter, with the possible exception of Curly Joe.
Don't get me wrong: bobcats are beautiful, enchanting creatures and an essential part of the North American ecosystem. But the second it gets any ideas beyond looking pretty and patrolling the food chain, us naked apes stand ready to deliver the smackdown.
Man is the scratching post that bleeds and screams, by Matthew Norman
Jason, you ignorant slut.
This is a perfect example of the kind of inflated self-regard one commonly finds among people who die on alpine hikes, on float trips, and a quarter-mile off the snowshoeing trail.
Yeah, lah dee dah, you unearthed a few stories about unarmed humans killing wild cats. Color me a deep shade of not particularly impressed. You know why you can find stories like these to cite? Because they're SENSATIONAL. It is NOT NORMAL. It's CRAZY those people killed bobcats bare-handed. They prove a person can strangle a bobcat the way an article from ESPN might prove "a person" can throw a no-hitter.
You notice there are very few articles about people stepping on cockroaches and killing them? What you've done here is read a series of man-bites-dog pieces and extrapolated a natural order of things in which people generally bite dogs.
Ask yourself why mankind, as a species, outperforms the bobcat. It's simple. It's the same reason we have dominion over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth: Because of our high-powered, outsized brain. That big gray glob is a tremendous advantage! And a necessary one. Without it, we're just slow-moving prey. With it, we've devised traps, concocted poisons, and built weapons. We've constructed cities where our otherwise essentially defenseless species can thrive without having to enter into direct personal competition with the other, stronger beasts.
You look at humankind, apparently prosperous and strong, but you fail to see the playpen of civilization that affords us the safety to have become so. You mistake us for being fit for wilderness survival. WTF, dude?
Though your limbs are weak, your lungs feeble, your teeth dull and your nails soft, you're convinced that, in a do-or-die situation, you could shrug off the trappings of civilization—your only edge in the struggle against nature—like a boxer doffing his robe before a prizefight, and best the bobcat in a bare-handed fight to the death. Actually, you know what we might more properly call such a competition? A test of bobcat skills. I imagine somewhere in the mountains of Colorado, the Jason Toon of bobcats is convinced he'd do pretty well pitted against a human on the SATs.
Do you know what most people actually do in do-or-die situations? They die.
Have you ever seen how badly messed-up a person can be by a comparatively puny house cat when it's ornery?
Remember that THIS AMERICAN LIFE episode about the woman who got fought to a standstill by a mere raccoon?
A bobcat, of course, can eat a raccoon for breakfast. That's not a figure of speech; it's literally true. A bobcat can take down a full-grown white-tailed deer. Your average present-day American can't take himself up three flights of stairs without stopping for a breather.
And where, I wonder, do you imagine this man-on-wildcat bout taking place? Because the bobcat has a huge home-court advantage. In true wilderness, far from hospitals and taxicabs and Neosporin, a cut that's merely "pretty bad" back home could be fatal. So could a twisted ankle, for that matter. Or damp clothes. This is how fragile you are. A person sits in the comfort of his TV room watching Bear Gryllis's fantasy hour, or drives out to peep at the Grand Canyon, and imagines he's prepared for nature's savagery. He is not. He's a domesticated marshmallow.
And this is the puny, ignorant, baselessly self-assured sack of soft meat you want to bet on? seriously? Twenty-first-century, first-world man? Against 30 pounds of feline ferocity that's been killing to eat for almost two million years? Nuh-uh. In an unarmed face-off, a bobcat will cut any man I know to ribbons. And "unarmed, face off" will be an apt description of the human loser afterward, too.
Of course, I hope a bobcat attack never happens to anyone I know. Likely it won't. It is, in fact, the extreme unlikelihood of bobcat wrasslin' that affords my friends like Jason the luxury of their delusions about how well they'd fare. But if, by some truly weird series of events, some human pal of mine ever faces down a feral bobcat, and he enters into this hypothetical interspecies grudge match with anything like the overconfidence on display above, here will be the limits of my compassion:
I will not say "I told him so" at the funeral, and will refrain from forwarding his Darwin Award nomination to any grieving relatives.
Cheeky Bobcat by dinglepup, Bobcat by Mark Gstohl, Bobcat (Lyxn Rufus) by Cliff1066, Bobcat kitten by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Bobcat by Otacon are all used under the Creative Commons License
I have to say that anyone that has ever tried to bathe a domesticated but still clawed cat has faced only a small portion of the ferociousness of any feral cat. Add the speed and cunning of the Bobcat and you have one heck of a fight. I would put money on the the Bobcat.
Your big-brained superiority goes out the window the second your vision's blurred from all the blood.
Sue Yellowtail took care of a mountain lion. A bobcat is small beer. Here's the article.
As long as you don't bend down and let it chomp on your neck, the human wins every time. The bobcat is too small and light that it doesn't have any leverage against a human. The human could boot it like a soccer ball or spike it to the ground like a football. If the bobcat has its claws all up in you, just make like a boa constrictor and crush it against your own body. The teeth and claws of a bobcat aren't THAT long, so it would take a lot of work before it gets to anything vital. Also, if Red Dead Redemption has taught me anything, bobcats post no real threat. Mountain lions, on the other hand, will git ya every time.
If the person in question is an ex-marine, well, there IS a precedent. If not, all bets are off. http://www.chokethebobcat.com
Oh ... that kind... I thought you were going to debate the ability of the average human to kick Bobcat Goldthwait's ass. (Just for the record, my money is on the human.)

Exactly! Thank you for bringing a much-needed voice of reason to the discussion.

you beat me fair and square. good show.
bsmith1 wrote:if Red Dead Redemption has taught me anything
See, this is what I'm talking about. A very credible expert witness, Toon.
Even if I survived the attack I doubt I would get the call if it went to the judges. Being down an arm or face but walking away from it is hardly a "win" in my book. Advantage Bobcat.
tgentry wrote:Even if I survived the attack I doubt I would get the call if it went to the judges. Being down an arm or face but walking away from it is hardly a "win" in my book. Advantage Bobcat.
The bobcat is dead. You're alive. That counts as a win in anyone's book. The only way a bobcat (~20lbs) kills a human (~150lbs) is with a bite to the neck. Human grabs bobcat, holds at arms' length, strangles, wins. I don't think it's much of a debate. PS - no recorded incidents of a bobcat killing a human...EVER. At least 3 recorded incidents of humans killing bobcats barehanded. Advantage human.
I graduated from Quinnipiac University - Home of the Bobcats... and I want to assure you that has nothing to do with anything. I go for Human on this one. One swift punt and the thing will be on its guard for quite a long time. I mean - my cats react that way so naturally... j/k Jeeeez But seriously, when I punt cats they know who is boss.
Unarmed, I think the bobcat takes the human out. However, give the human a plastic bag to shake in the air and the bobcat will run the other way for miles.

There's a big difference between bathing a cat that you don't want to hurt, and a life-and-death-I'm-gonna-kill-this-cat-before-it-kills-me situation.
crapface wrote:There's a big difference between bathing a cat that you don't want to hurt, and a life-and-death-I'm-gonna-kill-this-cat-before-it-kills-me situation.
See, I wonder about this I'm-gonna-kill-this-thing-before-it-kills-me situation. I think the average soft, out-of-shape, gets-an-adrenaline-rush-from-Angry-Birds human wouldn't even get into this mode before it's too late. I think there would be a variable mixture (depending on the person) of OH **** THIS BOBCAT IS ATTACKING ME OW IT HURTS fear and overwhelming adrenaline with straight confusion. I wonder if there would be the realization of "Wow, this thing is gonna kill me if I don't fight back with everything I have", before it was too late in a situation like this (not just with a bobcat). I'm not sure if it would happen. But it still doesn't matter IMO. The harman is taking the bobcat at least 7 times out of 10; the bobcat just doesn't have the offensive weapons to offset our size and strength advantage to kill a human quickly enough. Your body can take alot of punishment. If he calls one of his bobcat homeslices though, you are in some trouble, guy.
From a professional Bobcat assassin i would say they make nice slippers and yes i could kill them bare handed but they are nasty fighters they will take a finger off in one bite .....
I met a guy who had killed a mountain lion with his bare hands. He was (still is, but also was) a professional mountain climber and had freakishly strong hands. So I'd say I'm with Jason on this one, as long as you've been doing your hand exercises.
the bobcat has a huge home-court advantage. In true wilderness, far from hospitals and taxicabs and Neosporin, a cut that's merely "pretty bad" back home could be fatal.
These are pretty common in the people places, like far north Dallas. Regularly seen around Woot headquarters.
This is relevant to my interests. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go stash some dead bodies under the floorboards.
Just another data point in this important, ongoing debate: Cleveland Man Airlifted After Fight with Housecat
folks next door to me thought that a litter of bobcats under their hedge and contiguous to my lanai were "cute little kitties" - they had no idea that they were not housecats. I think they all moved on (including the folks who were feeding them) to a preserve area nearby, but I occasionally see one when I am out and about. So far, there have been no attacks by any of them on person or pet. I will remember the tips herein and send pics of either my mutilated remains or that of the ferocious enemy. ONWARD

Be still my chocolate loving heart, a moist chocolate cake made from scratch with only three tablespoons of oil in the entire cake! Top this with some chocolate syrup and fresh raspberries and oh my, what a chocolate dessert!
I've been experimenting making a cake from scratch with less fat for a few days now and after a few rounds I finally got it to where my taste testers (aka husband and friends) all thought it was great and couldn't believe it was light.
My secret? There's pudding, yogurt and applesauce in the mix!
This recipe was created for those of you who like to make their cakes from scratch, but if you prefer a quicker method by using a box cake mix as an ingredient, see my Super Moist Low Fat Chocolate Cupcake recipe.
This cake rises beautifully and the coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate. Will it work without the pudding? Yes, however the texture will change and you'll need to increase the sugar. Can you use less oil? Yes, but I've already cut out more than half, and using less will work, but the texture will be drier.
I made this in a 13 x 9-inch pan and used a heart cookie cutter to cut out hearts, but you can make this into 24 cupcakes, a bundt cake or 2 rounds. Hope you enjoy!

Depending on the pan you use, (I used a 13 x 9-inch pan) bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cupcakes will be closer to 25-30 minutes.

ReceptionRuby and Sapphire received mostly positive reviews, though critics were divided in their assessment of the games, especially on the gameplay and graphics. Most of the complaints focused on the fact that the gameplay had not changed much since previous generations. With the popularity of Pokémon on the decline and the rising popularity of Yu-Gi-Oh! at the time, the games sold less than previous generations. However, they were still commercial successes; with around 16 million copies sold according to IGN, they are the best-selling games for the Game Boy Advance. Trivia
