He's better make it really, really good. Otherwise he looks like a jerk to me, always wiping out other's code using his code
Phoronix: A New Acceleration Architecture For X
XAA, or the XFree86 Acceleration Architecture, is over twelve years old and finally in 2005 it was greeted by a replacement, EXA. XAA is nearing an end-of-life and Intel is prepared to remove XAA acceleration within their next Intel graphics driver release later this year...
He's better make it really, really good. Otherwise he looks like a jerk to me, always wiping out other's code using his code
mh, i'm getting some troubles. what about glucose? is exa/glucose/uxa usable with gallium3d? or are they going to be obsolete and will be substituted? why do they have such big plans when it doesn't makt *that* much sense to put lots of efforts into the "old" dri-model?
Xorg development looks very chaotic from the outside. Can't be much fun to program GFX device drivers using a framework in complete limbo all the time. I'll go with nothing but NVidia's proprietary solution, since they pretty much rip out DRI, and it works so blazingly well (and they are working on the 2D-problems for GF8000/9000-gen cards). When will the free next-gen-DRI stack ever mature ? Let's hope the over-night trashing-and-introducing-a-new-API process works out well in the end for *all* graphics-card brands (not just Intel). However long that will be.
Well, if that means that 2d acceleration in Linux will not suck anymore, I'm in all for it!
Let me see: Intel had a memory manager done by Tungsten graphics (TTM) and then they threw it away and replaced with their own GEM. After 12 years we finally have a better 2d acceleration architecture, and just the time for it to be ready and Intel threws in a replacement. And now anyone who was going on working to EXA and TTM based drivers must stop and redo all the work from start.
Which technology will be shot dead next? Gallium3d looks the best candidate in the line.
Going on this way, X.org may
1) become an Intel-only graphix server or
2) fork (again) into an Intel-X and exa-ttm-gallium-Y.
Actually, it does more look like TTM took forever and got nowhere. GEM is already virtually included in the kernel. Similarly, EXA was not that successful, it seems ...
Gallium3d could indeed be next in line, because it also failed to deliver for the time being Is it really something bad, I don't know.
Obviously, Intel is running the whole show to their benefit, as they're the only one of the big 3 that is directly contributing development resources.
Well, if it's "better" then why not. Still, all this wait is really annoying.
But then, piece by piece, the whole X will be rewritten around Intel's hardware needings.
Will this drive the other manufacturers to Intel's solutions or will they say "Ah well, let Intel get those leenookz losers, we won't support anything but windoze anymore".
Will Intel be the only available choice for linux and (maybe also) Opensolaris users?
Is there a chance Intel will seize the X code and change the license?

Frugal Gardening: Find Out When to Plant Your Garden
Tweet |
Every single year I deal with the guessing game of knowing when to plant. I'm sure you do too unless, of course, you are a pro in which case you can skip this post entirely and from now on call yourself an expert gardener. I will not call myself such a thing but I do make valid attempts at gardening every year.
There is a new website out to help normal people like me called SproutRobot.com and it is SO cool. Simply put in your zip code and you will see a schedule appear letting you know when it is time to plant. I put in my zip code today and it told me to start planting tomato seeds indoors. I love this site!
They do have a membership program you can join if you'd like, but the actual schedule is free to view after you put in your zip code.

How is Compassion different from other Christian charities?
Many Christian charities around the world are making a difference. What makes Compassion different from other Christian charities? We don't just focus on temporary results. As we release children from poverty, we strive to help them become fulfilled Christian adults. We do this by addressing all aspects of child development: spiritual, economic, social and physical.
If you're looking for Christian charities to get involved with, please check out Compassion! We help children in need from the earliest stages of life through young adulthood. We do this through three vital programs: Compassion's Child Survival Program, which rescues infants and toddlers in need; our Child Sponsorship Program, which provides lifesaving assistance to school-age children; and our Leadership Development Program, which helps young adults attend college and receive Christian training.
Praise God that Compassion, which is one of the largest Christian charities in existence, is helping more than 1 million children in need in 24 countries!
How can I partner with Christian charities and help save lives? Sponsoring a child is one of the easiest ways to support Christian charities. Compassion's children's ministry is ready to match you with a child in need for just $38 a month. You can offer your child the basic necessities of life, as well as the hope of Jesus Christ!
As you exchange letters, send photos and offer encouragement in Jesus' name, your love will bring hope to a child that will last a lifetime. Sponsor a child today! Just click on a child's photo to learn more.
Every photo shows a child who urgently needs a sponsor. Which child will you choose to sponsor?

Kluber looks to regain dominant form vs. White Sox
Tribe ace lost his last time out, but has a 7-2 record over 11 starts
CHICAGO -- Corey Kluber will look to continue a dominant stretch as the Indians hope to inch their way to the playoffs in the midst of 30 games in 30 days.
Kluber picked up just his second loss Thursday against the Twins in his last 11 starts. During that stretch, he's 7-2 with a 1.42 ERA and .187 batting average against.
The right-hander ranks among the top of the American League in almost every category -- third in ERA (2.46), third in strikeouts (205), third in innings pitched (186 1/3 innings), seventh in batting average against (.229), tied for sixth in wins (13) and seventh in WHIP (1.08).
"His consistency has been tremendous and to do that, you have to be good," manager Terry Francona said. "His routines were so solid. So you get to this point in the year, and he's coming up on 200 innings, but it doesn't look like his gas tank is going the wrong way. That's a tribute to his work ethic."
The Tribe will lean heavily on the Cy Young Award candidate Kluber during this final stretch, hoping to replicate their strong finish towards a Wild Card spot last year. Cleveland went 16-4 to finish the season, and 6-0 against the White Sox during that span.
The Indians enter Wednesday 5 1/2 games behind Kansas City in the AL Central. Cleveland is 4 1/2 games in back of Seattle for the second Wild Card spot.
"These guys know, I think from the first day of Spring Training, I kept saying: 'This guy, if his health stays -- because you never know -- there's no reason he couldn't be this pitcher," Francona said of his ace. "I think we all thought that."
White Sox pitcher Hector Noesi went seven innings for the seventh time in 22 starts -- four in the last six -- since becoming a fixture in the White Sox rotation. Their Wednesday starter was claimed off waivers on April 25 after starting the season in Seattle, then moving to Texas and settling in Chicago.
He's embracing his role as a regular starter -- an opportunity not afforded at his previous posts.
"Every day, every hour that's passed, you take more experience than ever," Noesi said.
White Sox: Ventura says standings may hurt Abreu's MVP bid
White Sox manager Robin Ventura believes slugging rookie Jose Abreu has the statistics worthy of an MVP bid, but that the White Sox spot in the standings may hurt his chances.
"He has the numbers to do that, but the teams that lead the division probably get more focus," Ventura said. "But as far as just a player, he has the numbers to do it."
Abreu ranks second in the Majors in home runs (33) and RBI (94), leads in slugging percentage (.598) and ranks ninth in batting average (.308). He's also had hitting streaks of 18 and 21 games while playing a key cog in a resurgent White Sox lineup.
"For where we're at, he's a big piece of [our offense], but they focus more on teams that lead their divison more than anything else," Ventura said.
Chicago sits firmly in fourth place in the AL Central, 13 games out of first and just one game ahead of the last-place Twins.
Indians: Gimenez could play during Sox series
Backup catcher Chris Gimenez could work his way into a game before starter Yan Gomes works his way back from the concussion list, Francona said.
Gimenez was acquired from the Rangers via a waiver trade on Saturday in light of Gomes' injury. Roberto Perez has started for the Indians during Gomes' stead.
"It wouldn't shock me if [Gimenez] works his way into a game somewhere because of his versatility," Francona said. "Having him on the bench is pretty helpful, and he doesn't know our pitchers yet that much, but he could start a game. We'll see."
Gomes sustained the concussion Thursday against the Twins when taking a deflected pitch to the mask. He is eligible be activated Friday, but it's unclear if he'll return immediately.
"He's having a really good day," Francona said of Gomes before Tuesday's series opener. "Even when I saw him in the [hotel] lobby this morning, he looked a lot clearer in his eyes. He's done and will do more today. I hate to say it, because I don't want to be unfair to him, but I'd be surprised if he's not raring to go [Friday], unless he has a setback somewhere."
Worth noting:
• The White Sox only sweep this year came against the Indians May 26-28. Chicago is 6-2 versus Cleveland, which is 26-26 against the AL Central.
• Paul Konerko leads all active players with 48 homers and 177 RBI against the Indians.

A pretty decent news network that tells you what is really happening and not this phony shit on CNN, MSNBC and NBC news, It also have hot babes on there and pretty intelligent but down to earth newscasters, not these college educated liberals that never ever lived any life in the real world.

A news network that counters the liberal garbage on tv with coverage from a right wing prespective. Most liberals will bash the network becuase it is speaks to the conservative demographic. #1 rated cable program as of August 2007.
1. Boy, it's ironic how the liberals who say conservatives bash everything will then proceed to crucify Fox News.
2. Fox News is a good source of information.
3. It ticks off the liberals that Fox News is #1 in the ratings.

The only news cannel that tells the true story. The reporters don't get tingling feelings going up and down there body every time the scholiast Barack Obama talks. They do not think Obama is the second coming of Jesus. They report what really happens and don't tell lies like the other news networks do like CNN the (Clinton new network) do to make it look like Obama did not have relationship with terrorist like Bill Ayers. They don't keep dishing out the kool aid to all the sit on their butts lazy give me welfare left wing nuts.
Fox news gives the true story and not all the lies the lazy left wing nuts love to hear.

A swell news program that takes a lot of shit from hipster liberals. Even though the silly Dems own everything else considered media, they still complain about actual news being reported. Fox is not bent right. It's actually pretty balanced. Most people think it's right-wing because they're used to all the lame radical leftist media. It's strange. It has more attractive lady news reporters too.
I was watching Fox News, and totally got a chub from the female anchor.

The only reliable news channel. This channel may lean to the Right, but it is more balanced in political affairs than all of the other idiotic liberal trash channels. Other hosts, such as Oberman are anti-American gay french lovers.
Fox News has the smartest news anchors.
Liberals are a waste of human life.
Conservatives, real men.

An obviously right-wing news network, but considering every other news network is obviously liberal, it's not such an appalling thing.
Still, it's not as "fair and balanced" as they say it is, though EVERY news program should try to be fair and balanced so the people can better make the right choice.

Funny how the left-wing fat cats jump all over the republicans as soon as they secure control over a news program. Another example of why the two-party system fuckin blows.

A centrist news network that has gained popularity among people discontented to watch television dominated by liberal media sources. While Fox News may be owned by wealthy people they ALL are, but Liberalism sells because liberals like to pretend they care...isn't that sweet.
After watching CNN I changed the channel to Fox News to get the real story.

Holiday Words & Music all around Plumas
Take a respite from all the holiday hubbub and get into the real spirit of the season by joining with friends and neighbors at any of Plumas Arts' Words & Music holiday celebrations in the coming weeks.
Each Words & Music venue has a different feel and flair, so start with one and make it a goal to try them all, either this month or in the coming year.
In the tradition of the ongoing Words & Music program, a variety of spoken word and musical artists will take the stage in an extended sort of "open stage" performance, which has come to be called the holiday locals all-stars lineup.
Starting it off is the Quincy Holiday Words & Music, Thursday, Dec. 9, at Morning Thunder Café.
Chester's Words & Music is Thursday, Dec. 16, at The Coffee Station.
Portola Words & Music follows right behind Friday, Dec. 17, at "The Feather" Community Arts Center.
As time allows, aspiring poets, musicians, storytellers or actors wishing to perform are encouraged to sign up at the door before 7:30 p.m.
Programs start between 7 and 7:20 p.m. Admission is still only $3. No-host beverages and goodies are available at all the venues.
In Words & Music, the audience and the artist share equally important roles. The artists bring their creative endeavors, hearts ands souls. The audience provides compassionate, caring attention. Both are essential.
Words & Music always reminds us all of why we treasure living in Plumas County. The holiday shows really display what wonderful communities we live in.
Words & Music is an acoustic music and spoken word program which has been sponsored by Plumas Arts since 1989. For information, contact us at 283-3402 or email@example.com.

REVIEW: God's Pocket
Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the main reason to see this film. It's one of his last roles. "Mad Men" star and sometimes "Mad Men" director John Slattery hired a strong cast for his film directorial debut. This dark comedy is set in a boozy, blue collar, close-knit community, where everyone knows each other's business.
John Turturro is fun as a small-time criminal friend of the often drunk Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who is married to Christina Hendricks , who is wooed by a newspaper columnist played by Richard Jenkins. See- great cast, right???!!
The film begins at the funeral of Christina Hendrick's son, a racist, foul-mouthed punk who is killed on the job by an older Black man he had bullied. The co-workers protect their bullied brother, insisting it was a workplace accident.
The acting is fine but the characters , for the most part, have no back story. And the dead-body-that-falls-out-of-a-truck bit is overused .
It's worth seeing, just for Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who is much missed. He really was one of a kind. But you can wait for the DVD.
2 stars

Rangers keeping pace, but running out of time
Despite four straight wins, Texas remains one off Wild Card spot
Right now, the Rangers find themselves on the outside looking in. With just three games left to play, the team sits one game back of the Indians for the second American League Wild Card spot.
"We have to worry about winning games. It's all we have right now," Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "We've lost quite a few already, so we have to take care of business and win. Everybody knows the situation."
They got a 6-5 victory over the Angels on Thursday and will look to do the same Friday in Arlington with Alexi Ogando (7-4, 2.93 ERA) set to take the hill.
The right-hander tossed seven scoreless innings against the Royals on Sunday and has allowed one run over 18 innings in his last two starts and four relief appearances since coming off the disabled list.
"My arm feels good and strong, and my velocity is back," Ogando said. "I'm healthy. I've worked hard for this."
Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson, along with his teammates, are looking to spoil Texas' chances.
"Of course. And it's absolutely nothing personal. But it's not like we're going to go out there and lay down the next few games," Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton said. "We have to finish the season, and it's important for us to finish this last month strong -- not just for me, but for everybody."
Wilson (17-7, 3.36 ERA) broke a string of four straight wins in his last start, taking a loss to the Mariners. He allowed three runs on eight hits in 8 1/3 innings.
In his final start of the season, Wilson said he's looking to maintain the same focus he's had all year long.
"I'm just trying to win my game. That's it," Wilson said. "Try to win my game and try to go into the offseason with positive momentum, like I have the last couple of years."
Angels: Hamilton to put weight back on in offseason
After coming to Spring Training this season nearly 20 lighter than normal, Hamilton said his goal is to be 245 pounds next season.
"I'm going to try to put some weight on, but do it the right way -- by doing a lot of the things I'm doing now, but adding more calories, things like that," Hamilton said. "Because this year, I haven't been weaker than I have -- I'm just as strong in the weight room as I've ever been -- but I think there's something to say about having a little extra butt on you."
Last offseason, he started a natural-juice diet and entered camp at an estimated 227 pounds. Losing a few more pounds during the season, Hamilton said he is about 215 pounds right now.
Rangers: Washington sticking with Perez
If the Rangers play a tiebreaker game on Monday to decide one of the Wild Card spots, Martin Perez would be in the line to make the start. Rangers manager Ron Washington doesn't plan to change that if the situation occurs.
"It's another challenge and experience for him to get," Washington said. "He deserves it, just like every other starter in there deserves it. I don't think the position we're in, if we play this out and we have that opportunity, that we can move anything around. It's got to stay the way it is."
The rookie moved to 10-5 on Wednesday night, allowing three runs in seven innings against the Astros to help the Rangers remain a game behind the Indians for the final American League Wild Card spot.
Worth noting
• The Rangers' 82 stolen bases since the All-Star break lead the Majors. Their 141 steals on the season are the fifth most in club history.
• Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo was dropped to seventh in the batting order for Thursday night's game against the Rangers. It was his first time hitting lower than sixth since September of last season, and he went 3-for-5.

Skeletal limb abnormalities refer to a variety of bone structure problems in the arms or legs (limbs).
Skeletal limb abnormalities are most often used to describe defects in the legs or arms that are associated with your genes or chromosomes, or that occur due to an event that happens during pregnancy.
The abnormalities are often present at birth.
Limb abnormalities can develop after birth if you have have rickets and other diseases that affect bone structure.
Skeletal limb abnormalities may be due to:
Call your health care provider if you have any concerns about limb length or appearance.
An infant with limb abnormalities generally has other symptoms and signs that, when taken together, define a specific syndrome or condition or give a clue as to the cause of the abnormality. Diagnosis is based on a family history, medical history, and thorough physical evaluation.
Medical history questions may include:
Other tests such as chromosome studies, enzyme assays, x-rays, and metabolic studies may be done.

My hubby has always been very good about getting the added warranty when investing in jewelry for me as a gift. This is great to have in case something happens to my jewelry through everyday wear, but the challenge is remembering to take my jewelry in to be inspected every 6 months to keep the warranty valid. Thanks to Remember The Milk this isn't a problem any more! When I get a new piece of jewelry, I just enter a task due 6 months from the date that my husband purchased the piece and set it to repeat every 6 months. Instant reminders that can save me a lot of $$ and heartbreak in case something happens to my treasured pieces! Thanks, MJ

Grab a blanket and your friends to come to the JSC Quad to enjoy free popcorn and a movie under the stars.
Superman flies back onto the big screen in this Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures production directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan and featuring a screenplay by David Goyer. Born on the alien planet of Krypton, Kal-El is sent by his parents to live on planet Earth, where he is given the name Clark by kindly farmer Jonathan Kent and his wife, Martha, who raise him as if he were their own son. As a young boy, Clark displays incredible superpowers that instill him with a profound sense of personal responsibility. Later, the amiable Clark becomes a reporter for the Metropolis newspaper "The Daily Planet," and strikes up a friendship with crackerjack journalist Lois Lane. But when his new world is attacked by a force that humans are powerless to defend themselves against, Clark assumes the identity of Superman and fights to protect the entire human race.

Oh ok. I know that some online technical schools like Devry have employer partnership agreements. I wasn't sure if ITT Tech had any. I guess they don't.
Thanks Sergeant, but I use spam blocker.

Customer Reviews
- The best body wash Review by Hydrangea
Price Value Quality I use Born To Be Mild for a body wash even though I don't have a skin condition. As a cleanser, this product is one of the few which cleans the skin. Other brands of body wash are fragrant to use but are not effective cleaners.
- It did not work on my skin Review by Paula
Price Value Quality I ordered this product as the lady who does my brows recommended it to me. We both have seborrheic dermatitis. Unfortunately, when I washed my face with it, the corners of my nose started burning a lot as well as some parts of my eyebrows. I had not gotten such a localized reaction before with any product, so at least this product helped me realize where I had my most severe case of dermatitis. After giving this product another chance I decided not to clean my face with it as the reactions were increasingly painful. I'm glad it was great for other costumers. It just was not right for my type of skin.
- No more flakes and itchiness! Review by Vicki M.
Price Value Quality I have had seborrhea off and on since I was a kid-- on my head, eyebrows, forehead. I've been using Born to Be Mild for several months now as a face/eyebrow cleanser and shampoo (and I have color treated hair). It is the only product that has managed my seborrhea and has left my skin soft, smooth and flake-free. As a shampoo it leaves my hair very soft and incredibly shiny (no conditioner necessary) and does not strip or fade the color.
Makes it so easy to travel: I can use one product for my entire body! - Best Ever Review by Mike
Price Value Quality I had spent hundreds of dollars trying to fix the dry skin problem on my face and neck. Someone recommended Born to be Mild. It was absolutely amazing. Within 1 week everything cleared up. Best product I've ever used. Thanks.
- Truly gentle Review by weeteena
Price Value Quality My search for a gentle soapless cleanser with zinc pyrithione to manage my various skin issues and sensitivities ended with my discovery of this exceptional product. My skin feels fresh and clean after use, not tight or over-dry, which used to be the price I paid for that clean sensation. Happily, it meets all my other requirements in that it's oil-free, fragrance-free, and not tested on animals.
- Excellent Product Review by Caroline
Price Value Quality I have been using this product for a few years now and it has made a huge difference for me. I have suffered from seborrhea since I was a teen and this is the first non-steroid product that has worked for me. In fact, it has worked so well that my mother started to use it and she was able to discontinue her steroid cream. Now we have given a tube to my grandmother to try! It is a bit pricey but it is the only one of its kind that I have been able to find on the market aside from using a dandruff shampoo. Thanks so much for this great cleanser!
- A unique product on the market! Review by Erik
Price Value Quality I have been using this for as long as I can remember.It is very unique in that it is fragrance,dye and irritant free (meaning no menthol,peppermint etc).Its impossible to find a seborrhea/anti-dandruff shampoo or product for that the condition that does not have one of the above issues with it for us with sensitive skin and noses to fragrance.Just wish the price of this was a bit lower,the ingredient list is very simple,like a stripped down Head and Shoulders,but I will continue to use and recommend to others,great idea this was.
- Thank you! Review by Jennifer
Price Value Quality My husband had incredibly bad rosacea for years, bad enough that people would ask him what had happened to his face. He'd been to dermatologists, taken prescription medications, and tried numerous products without relief. And then he tried Born to be Mild. I couldn't believe the difference in his skin! He's used BTBM (and nothing else) for years now. His skin looks fantastic! Thank you, DermaDoctor!
- Unique! Review by Erik D.
Price Value Quality This is a blessing for us that want to use a Zinc Pyrithicone product that is fragrance,dye and irritant free (meaning no menthol,drying cleansing agents etc.)Thank you for developing this product to help with is dealing with dandruff/seborrhea!
- Finally! Review by Kelle
Value Quality Price I spent hundreds of dollars going to different dermatologists trying to figure out what was wrong with my skin. They gave me harsh creams that I wish I never used. By chance, I read about the DermaDoctor book and bought it. After reading the book, I switched my toothpaste to Squiggle (no SLS) and took Dr. Kunin's advice on a shampoo and conditioner regimen. Instant relief! I then bought the Born To Be Mild face and body cleaner. It is so soothing to my skin and is a staple in my skin care.
Dr. Kunin's book and face cleanser has been such a blessing to me!! Thank you!!!

Yunesky Maya faces Josh Collmenter tonight at Chase Field.
PHOENIX — Yunesky Maya's first start of 2011 wasn't particularly impressive. If anything, it bore some significant resemblance to his five starts in 2010, when he labored to get through the fourth and fifth innings and pitched at an extremely slow pace. Tonight, the Cuban right-hander gets another chance to make a better impression, facing a Diamondbacks club that had been hot until Jordan Zimmermann took the mound last night.
Maya will be opposed tonight by unheralded right-hander Josh Collmenter, a 25-year-old rookie who has burst onto the scene here in Arizona, allowing only four runs in four starts to date. Collmenter uses an unconventional delivery — he throws from straight over the top, maybe even a tad to the left. Thus, he gets great downward action, especially on his breaking balls, something the Nats will have to be ready for.
The Nationals will be without one of their big guns tonight. Jayson Werth, who took an Aaron Heilman fastball off his left elbow in the ninth inning last night, is not 100 percent. So Werth takes a seat, which means the Nats at the moment are without their three top, veteran position players from Opening Day: Werth, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche.
Plenty of updates to come…

Uh oh. Hope this is just a day-to-day problem for Werth…
- JayB - Jun 3, 2011 at 10:58 PM
day to day….with Nats….out for 8 weeks is what history tells us….Nats would be better served to just say he is taking the night off.
- WhatsaNattaU - Jun 3, 2011 at 10:58 PM
If Ray Knight was right that Heilman hit Werth on purpose to set up the double play, I would expect a Arizona hitters and middle infielders to be open season tonight.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:02 PM
Lets make it 4 in a row boys.
- SonnyG10 - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:08 PM
I'm with you Manassas Nats Fan…4 in a row! Go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- KC5 - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:12 PM
That's disturbing news about Werth. Hope they took X-rays.Don't want this to be a lingering problem and I sincerely don't want there to be any head hunting going on between these two teams. That's a good way for someone else to get hurt.
- BinM - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:19 PM
@Doc: I'm willing to give Maya a couple more starts before I hit the panic button. He wasn't necessarily the best, but the most ready for a call-up. I'd like to see him work a little quicker on the mound; Maybe Pudge behind the plate tonight will get him up to speed. In terms of replacements (should Maya not work out long-term), Stammen is on the 40-man in Syracuse & posting decent numbers, while Brad Meyers (RH) and Tom Milone (LH) are both posting some eye-popping numbers between Harrisburg & Syracuse. Should Rizzo & Riggleman decide to make a change for Meyers or Milone, someone like Carr, Mock, or Severino would have to get DFA'd & pass through waivers first.
- JayB - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:30 PM
Mock? Really are we worried about losing Mock on waivers? I though we had improved way past those days right?
- josh f - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Trevor Bauer or Bubba Starling, Nats fans – who would you rather have and why? Those are the two names most commonly tied to the Nats at pick 6 in Monday's draft right now.
- BinM - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:33 PM
If the series turns into a chippy, head-hunting duel, that's going to be more on Gibson [AZ mgr] than Riggleman, imo. Riggs has the experience & common sense not to escalate; Gibson, on the other hand (2-sport player in college, rookie Manager in MLB), might over-react, thinking this is a 'bonding moment' for his team. We'll see how it plays out.
- BinM - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:40 PM
@JayB: Not worried about losing any of the guys I listed in the least; I begged for Mock to be gone at the end of Spring Training. Just listing them for those who might not be familiar with the 40-man roster.
- Anonymous - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:57 PM
Bubba Starling has committed to Nebraska to play quarterback. I'd imagine it's going to take a hefty bonus to get him signed, more than he's getting at Nebraska (wink). I saw him play quarterback in the fall on ESPNU and the kid's a freak. Biggest, strongest, fastest kid on both sides of the ball. Looked like Cam Newton.
- Harper is Awesome - Jun 4, 2011 at 12:12 AM
I would like to see the Nats show some emotion and play a gritty, chippy series. It worked out quite well anyways if Werth is not seriously hurt. He needed a days rest and it came against a righty. Does anybody question why we need three left-handed outfielders?
- Wally - Jun 4, 2011 at 12:41 AM
Josh – give me Starling. Law's mock today had Starling at 6 and Meyer at 23. I would be thrilled with that outcome.
- Anonymous - Jun 4, 2011 at 12:50 AM
Everyone is so all-fired up about Harper getting to themajors. And right before our eyes a superstar mightjust be forming. Espinosa is taking a leadership rolein this offense while still learning to adapt to switchhitting in the majors. You folks should be watching?All of this Harper ROY stuff and he's in Hagerstown?Think about it? Harper isn't a switch hitter. Harper willnever field like Espinosa. Neither will Zim for that matter.There is a reason why many opposition scouts who sawEspinosa said ROY in ST! This kid is that good! He canhit for power like Zim and Harper. He is faster than both.He is probably a better shortstop than Desmond. He couldend up with a higher WAR than Zim, Harper, and perhapseven Strasburg! Forget Harper for now let Rizzo's playerdevelopment work with him. Watch Espinosa become perhapsthe best middle infielder in DC baseball history.0
- JaneB - Jun 4, 2011 at 12:54 AM
It seemed so clear the Werth was plunked. A high visibility plinking, at that. With the baseball pedigree he owns, there should be a plunk in return. I see an early entre tonight for HRod. The question is, will that end it? I hope Maya can stay steady till the BP can take the reigns. He shows a troubling lack of focus when he starts getting guys on base.It's been such a pleasant few days of winning. I have really enjoyed it and want the wins to continue.Go Nats!
- bgib - Jun 4, 2011 at 1:03 AM
If they really want to know what is or isn't wrong with Werth, they should send him somewhere outside of the organization for a second opinion right away.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 1:07 AM
@ Big CatIs your new phone able to text yet. I sent you important information on the local regional high school championship game.

Manassas&Big Cat: y'all are just a few years older than me, then. Hondo was my hero when I was in elementary.

Checking in on the game thread before toddling off to bed. Re. FP, Bob mentioned the other day that he left the game early due to another commitment. Missed the start of the game last night, but evidently it's more than a one-day thing.

Yeesh next we'll be talking Dick Such, Jim Hannan, Jim French, Don Mincher, Dave Nelson, Rick Reichardt, etc.A lot of those guys couldn't pitch or field worth a damn and today would be AAA not even AAAA unfortunately. Del Unser went forth to help the Phillies and other teams but after Coleman and Bosman.

Lets not get into the bad habit of RISP again. 0 for 3 that inning.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 2:25 AM
@unkydDoes the name TOm Bradley ring a bell? He went to our high school then went to Maryland, and then played for the Giants and White Sox for 10 years. In the winter he would substitute back at the school while we were there. Big Cat was one of our star players and played in the minors in the Mets organization.
- Grandstander - Jun 4, 2011 at 2:31 AM
Not to jump all over the guy, but I wonder if it might serve us well to turn Maya into a long reliever. With Gaudin and Broderick gone we don't really have one. Could add some value to the team there.
- RickH - Jun 4, 2011 at 2:33 AM
Manassas Nats Fan … One of my daughters graduated last year from the "local school" you mentioned. Oldest daughter graduated from and youngest daughter still goes to BDHS.
- baseballswami - Jun 4, 2011 at 2:45 AM
Between the unorthodox pitching for the dbacks and maya pitching for us, this could be a very disturbing game. So far – it's just kind of awkward baseball. Or is it church-league softball?
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:02 AM
Don't tell me Cy Young has reappeared again. This guy wandered the minors for 5 years for the D-Backs.
- Grandstander - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:06 AM
Here it comes…If we're going to have a guy in there who can't throw strikes, let's at least have him throwing 100 miles an hour. Bring in HRod!!!
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:06 AM
@RickM My kids graduated from the team that beat your team in the district championships. Big Cat has 2 daughters who graduated from another local high school with a very similar name. His son is on the JV there,The new coach at BHS is outstanding.As for the nats hitting arggggg back to making no names look great.

- Grandstander - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:15 AM
Wow, totally didn't expect that to happen! Slaten's been so dependable lately…Can't put that one on Riggs, that was a good move. Hard luck triple on a 3-0 pitch.

God. Slaten is nothing, if not consistant.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessismistic_For_Me - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:18 AM
Isn't there another LOOGY on the face of this earth to face left-handed batters other than Doug Freaking Slaten?
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:18 AM
What on earth is Slaten doing at the major leagues? He has now allowed 15 of 30 inherited runners to score. Nix's great play on Wednesday saved 3 more from scoring. A reliever who cannot come in and stop the other team most of the time has no busy in the majors. Lefty on lefty is not worth it with him pitching, but again Riggleman has not canned him (or Rizzo which ever is accurate). I would.
- Les in NC - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:19 AM
I'm pretty certain I could have hit that meatball hard enough to bring in at least 1 base runner.I'm pretty sure I detected some frustration from Pudge that Slaten couldn't hit the zone with his first 3 pitches.
- Gonat - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:20 AM
Mike Rizzo says, "We've created the bullpen to become a strength of the club. We feel comfortable with the present guys that we have in the bullpen. We feel that we have several players that can contribute as a bridge to the ninth inning. As you look down the bullpen roster, you see players having very good years, and with the exception of a few isolated outings, the bullpen has performed admirably. It has gone from a deficiency to a strength over the last couple years." OK, Mike, there is one more exception for you!
- SCNatsFan - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:20 AM
How do you justify keeping Slaten on this team. Funny to listen to the DBacks announcers talking about his ERA… then they just about choke on themselves when they see the percentage of inherited baserunners that score.C'mon management, send the team a message… stop rewarding lack of performance with a gentle pat on the shoulder and start clearing out the dead wood on this roster. Please. Let us know you are seeing what we are seeing and you are just as mortified by this type of performance from a guy who is just supposed to get one type of hitter once every couple of games.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:21 AM
Ray Knight is ripping Maya for throwing too many breaking pitches, walking the opposing pitcher in a 1-0 game and for just generally not being a big league pitcher. Very honest. Very accurate. What is this stiff doing up here?Man, Detwiler, Mock, et al must really be stinking up the joint in SYR if this is the best guy we could call up for Gorzy.

I totally blame Riggleman. This guy has proven to be terrible when he comes in with people on base. He has no business being on the team. Your better off letting Maya pitch. You thought Slaten was getting better. One game where the bases are left on because of a great play by the Outfielder, You are too easy to satisfy I would say.
- Anonymous8 - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:26 AM
What a job by Coffey. 1 out and a man on 3rd. Keeps his 0.00 inherited runners from scoring streak alive and that looked like a tall task on this outing.Remember the call months ago for Detwiler to be a lefty stopper. How different would things be if that happened.
- JaneB - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:27 AM
What you all are saying! Maya is the same Maya he was in the bugs last year and in the minors since. And Slaten has these results every time. The other team mus be thrilled to see him. Surely there are other guys we own who are with gambling on, given the sure (negative) results we get with these two?
- Unkyd - Jun 4, 2011 at 3:29 AM
Wow. Coffee's bigger than David Wells… Gits it done, though.Slaten&Stairs: the only things we all agree on…

June 3, 2011 11:21 PM ________________________________Based on WHIP and scouting, Maya was the top rated guy in Syracuse which isn't saying much. Detwiler really fell off the face of the earth.This is squarely on Rizzo to get the talent here. Riggleman wisely gave Maya some rope but truly, how do you walk the opposing pitcher to start an inning? Choice for LOOGY is Slaten. Rizzo hasn't replaced him. For all we know Riggleman has been begging for a replacement and Rizzo has told him NO! By the way, that outing had no effect on Slaten's ERA as his guy on 3rd never scored. Just a joke.As fast as Bruney was exorcised last year, you have to wonder if Kasten was the extra eyes to do that. Why won't Rizzo DFA these losers?

That is what your suppose to do.Note to batter when you have a person who pitches mostly breaking balls swing at fastballs right over the middle. Little movement on the fast balls, but few have been swung at.

Does anyone know what the team batting average would be if you took Stairs and Ankiel out pf the equation?
- Drew8 - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:02 AM
If you're looking for a bright spot, Derek Norris cracked two homers and drove in three tonight for Harrisburg.He's hitting .245 with 8 homers to go with his on base percentage, which is now up around .380.It will be interesting to see how his future shakes out — as part of a tandem with Ramos, or as trade fodder. Rizzo doesn't seem inclined to switch his position.
- Grandstander - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:04 AM
If you take out Stairs and Ankiel, the teams BA moves from .234 to .239. That's actually quite a bit of movement from someone who was just out for 3 weeks and a pinch hitter.Oh, and Manassas Nats Fan, regarding your comment at 11:21, I was being sarcastic. I thought I was laying it on pretty thick, but I guess not thick enough. Not even the cheerleaders can defend Slaten at this point.
- Grandstander - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:10 AM
Haha, almost as if to mock us he sends up Stairs to make another out. I need a spot start in my NL-only league tomorrow. I was wavering between Livo and Saunders. Tonight made my decision easier.

Good Gossage looked good for the D-Backs in 8th.Stairs did his thing again. (Honestly do Rizzo and Riggleman really think he should be on the team?)
- BallstonNat - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:14 AM
we are a Slaten appearance away from a 1 run game. Why aren't things as obvious to the higher ups as they are to us. And nice pinch hit by our man Stairs.
- Les in NC - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:15 AM
I have seen the best the bullpen has to offer (Slaten) and now the bench (Stairs), so I can go ahead and go to bed now.Night all.Maybe we can get 'em tomorrow.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:19 AM
@Grandstander, sorry I missed the implication. I just get so furious when I see Slaten come in the game. I have no clue why there isn't someone in the organization they can trust more than him.

Has MASN stopped airing the Riggleman commercial of Small-ball no Smart-ball!

At this point, I just want the DBags to retaliate and plunk Werth tomorrow and maybe we can see a brawl or something. We've got some big dudes on this team, can't hit a baseball, try a person!To the few who stayed up to watch this massacre, good night!

OK. A loss. Bats are sleeping (Usual complaints about Stairs, Ankiel…).Positive takeaways? 3.2 good innings, 6Ks from Coffey, Kimball, Rodriguez. Zimmerman one day closer. Clippard, Storen available for June 4th.
- natsfan1a - Jun 4, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Unhappy game results email. Bummer. Back to the drawing board. Nats assignment for today, should you choose to accept it. Head down the tunnel to the visitors dugout. Look for an object known as a "bat rack." Get yourself a piece of lumber and go to town. See you at 8:10 tonight (I'll need to drink a boatload of coffee first).Also, re. bright spots, how about some love for Coffey? Seems to me that before his DL stint there were plenty who were not enthralled with him (heck, I may even have been one of them).
- UNTERP.NAT - Jun 4, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Seriously Riggleman has to stop pairing left handers against left handers until he gets a lefty who can get outs. Let his best do the job, Kimball, Rodriguez. Riggleman can be so mechanical it's frustrating…

I walk a lot and these shoes feel quite comfortable. Not too heavy and not too light. Solid.
This is a good work shoe the comfort level is lacking the tongue and top of the laces at the top does not sit comfortably.
A little stitching has come lose, but it was repairable. Shoes still look very nice and are extremely comfortable.
Purchased these for my significant other for work. He's a professional arborist and really, really hard on his shoes. He's been wearing these for a few weeks now and really likes them. Sizing is apparently right on the money; he was able to wear them all day, right out of the box with no 'breaking in' time. Seem really sturdy. Decent looking shoe, great price.
Bouught these shoes for my son who is in the boyscouts. He thinks they look great and says they are comfortable. Very nice looking shoes. He wears a size 11 in the tennis shoes that I buy him. These are a little larger than his teenis shoes but with thick hiking socks they fit great.

'Let the games begin...'
20 November 2010
'Let the games begin...'
Travel day. London to Auckland (day 3)
Singapore to Sydney passed uneventfully, which is all a man can hope for in a flight. I watched Shrek again, well most of it, which helped the mood. Slept again, ate again, reading eluded me a little, so I even did a little work as I was feeling vaguely inspired.
At Sydney airport we were reunited with the crew guys who had come via Bangkok. I found some of them in an airport Chinese restaurant, and some others in a bar but I was in more of an omelette mood, so left them all to it. It felt more than a little surreal to suddenly be in Sydney (I saw the Opera House on our descent, which rather hammered home the point). Having left grey autumnal chill behind in London, a couple of long naps later all is blue skies and sunshine. Walking back to the gate I had the first wave of that feeling where the carpet feels like it€™s turning into sponge. Hoards of people walking, pulling rolling bags, backpacks, cases €" another take of the Moment of Surrender video. Kids acting up by gate. Surely they could travel as checked baggage?
The final leg was fine, though the novelty of aviation was certainly wearing off at this point. I did, however, finally get into my book, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, and snorted through a hundred pages or so. It€™s a strange and circuitous story, being the ramblings of an apartment building concierge in Paris, but it€™s got me now.
A couple of hours later, I looked away from the book and out of the window. I was quite taken aback by the view €" down below was endless, unbroken, deep blue sea, whilst up above was endless, unbroken, deep blue sky. The two vast planes both stretched beyond my peripheral vision and were of almost identical colour, the sky perhaps becoming darker as it stretched into deep space. Their only separation was a line of fluffy white clouds way in the distance, rather appropriately smoothing away the line of the horizon. The emptiness of both is what was so startling, brightly lit in sunshine, everything so intensely crisp and clear. I was looking down at a planet entirely of water, it seemed, and the curve of the earth was clearly apparent. Does this mean that the water is curved? Obviously it does, relative to my viewpoint anyway, which I suppose means that every €˜flat€™ body of water is also curved, albeit ever so slightly. I know, I know€¦ I€™d been up a long while at this point.
Finally, finally we descended into a cloudy Auckland, completing what I€™m pretty sure is the longest flight I€™ve ever undertaken. (Regular readers may remember the fantastic debacle of getting from Santiago to Perth on the PopMart tour €" an epic saga of missed connections resulting in a four day journey, but that at least involved a couple of hotels, as opposed to today€™s straight shot.) Auckland airport was conveniently empty so we coasted through immigration and to baggage claim (at which point I noticed that my flies were undone and presumably had been for whole of the last flight. I recall thinking that the chap sitting next to me had looked a little twitchy, but I€™d put it down to being a nervous flyer.)
Picked up my bag (always a relief) and found a driver waiting for me, so we drove into the city, passing the familiar wooden, tin-roofed bungalows popular in these parts. It€™s a gloomy afternoon but I€™ve rarely been so glad to be on terra firma. It€™s 4pm and somehow I need to stay up until 10ish to stand a ghost of a chance in the great hand-to-hand combat with consciousness that is jet-lag. Let the games begin.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

It's simple for Nats, Cards: Win or go home
"That's why we have the home-field advantage," shortstop Ian Desmond said. "We earned it. We were the best team in baseball for a reason."
The big payoff comes now: Game 5 and everything on the line at Nationals Park, with the survivor moving on to engage the Giants in the NL Championship Series.
Gio Gonzalez, Washington's 21-game winner, takes the ball for the Nats against the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright. It's a rematch of Game 1 taken by Washington, 3-2, even though Gonzalez struggled with the strike zone (seven walks in five innings) and Wainwright was dominant (10 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings).
The Nationals are banking on drawing on more of the emotion the home crowd supplied during a taut Game 4 decided by one Jayson Werth swing against Lance Lynn.
"It seems like the last two months, our crowd here has been electric," Nats manager Davey Johnson said following Thursday night's 2-1 walk-off win courtesy of Werth's home run. "And it translates to the players. We feed off it.
"You know, my guys like playing for a packed house. And they were upon their feet, waving those red flags -- and giving us red instead of white.
"It was fun, and really for me, I don't get excited too much, but I was excited to see the crowd."
Johnson was especially excited, he might have added, to see how crazy the fans went as Werth made his triumphant tour around the bases, leaping on home plate into a crush of teammates.
As dramatic as this Game 4 victory was, Johnson knows as well as anyone that they start Game 5 all even at 8:37 p.m. ET on TBS.
The Nationals are riding the emotions of the first home postseason victory by the franchise since it resided in Montreal in 1981. The nation's capital hadn't hosted a Major League postseason game since 1933 prior to Wednesday.
This is familiar turf for the Cards, who faced elimination games four times in the postseason last season and prevailed each time -- twice against the Phillies in the NLDS and twice in the classic World Series against the Rangers.
St. Louis also had the mettle to seize the first Wild Card game to gain entry into the NLDS, beating the Braves in Atlanta.
"Just like last year," manager Mike Matheny said when asked how his team will respond to the Game 4 loss. "We've had a large amount of heartbreakers this year, and I think that's really been used to develop the character of this team and the resiliency.
"These guys realize that we've got an opportunity to come back and play another game. They do shed it pretty quick. It's a tough one, but we're still alive to play another game."
All hands are on deck in winner-take-all games such as this.
"It's what you play all season for," Werth said, "and what you work out all winter for and what you get to Spring Training early for. We have a chance [Friday night] to take the next step.
"I know my teammates will be ready -- and the city will, too."
While the Nats are new to all of this as a group, Werth has tasted championship bubbly with the Phillies.
"This team we've got here is as close-knit a group as I've ever played with," Werth said. "We've got great team chemistry, and it's a great place to come to the park every day."
The Cardinals feel the same way about one another, and they'll be using their own recent history to guide them through this latest survival test.
"The crowds are louder, pitchers take every pitch more seriously," David Freese, the 2011 World Series MVP, said of the higher pitch of the playoffs. "It's different than anything you've been involved in. The postseason affects everybody differently.
"You've got to come to the yard ready to go."
An 18-game winner as a starter in the regular season, Lynn moved to the bullpen for this series with Wainwright, Jaime Garcia -- now off the roster because of an injury -- Chris Carpenter and Kyle Lohse in starting roles.
Lynn -- who said he challenged Werth with his best pitch, a fastball, "and he just beat me" in Game 4 -- clearly would love to get back on the mound in Game 5 with redemption in mind.
"We've been in plenty of these winner-goes-on, loser-goes-home games," Lynn said. "It's exciting. This is going to be exciting for everybody.
"Gio's a good pitcher. We have one of our horses [Wainwright] going, and they've got theirs. This is what you play for, games like this."

JoeOrange CASeems To Really Help!I began to get worried because while my hairline had not really receded, my hair began thining in the front and to much hair was ending up on my hand when I shampooed my hair. So I began using the shampoo and conditioner about 3 months ago and I noticed less hair in my hand within a few weeks and fuller stronger hair within a month. My hair really feels more full and I when I shampoo and run the conditioner thru my hair I get hardly any hair falling out. While more expensive than store brands shampoos and conditioner, its really worth it, at least for me. Plus my hair feels great and no dandruff.posted Jun 19, 2007Link to this post
DavidPittsburghA Great ShampooI started using this product due to the top/back of my heads hair thinning out (when I was a kid, I called this a yankle, now I have the start of one, go figure). The day I ordered Therapy-G (and many days previous) I could literally position my head above something light in color, rub my hair, and watch it fall out like leaves in an Appalachian autumn. Within a few days of using the shampoo, I kid you not, I can shake my hair and hardly any, "if" any at all falls out. I also like how it leaves my hair. It doesnt get frizzy, it lays down nice, and overall it looks and feels a lot healthier.It may seems expensive compared to grocery store brands, but there is an obvious reason. In fact, I will say its a really good deal for what you get.posted Jan 4, 2007Link to this post

AmberMadison, WITakes Time For Results, But They're Great.I started using this shampoo about 6 weeks ago. My hair had lost some of its health due to medication I was taking and because I was unable to take a multivitamin as I was having reactions to it. After only a few weeks of using the shampoo daily (with the folical stimulator) my hair has become less limp, and resists breakage from blow drying and straigtening.
