The Nats try to avoid a series sweep this evening at Angel Stadium.
Davey Johnson mentioned the other night the need to perhaps give a couple of ailing guys some rest, especially with a scheduled day off tomorrow in advance of the homestand. So it's perhaps not surprising he's letting several regulars sit for this evening's series finale in Anaheim.
Jayson Werth is on the bench. So is Laynce Nix. So is Ian Desmond. That does lead to an unconventional lineup, featuring Brian Bixler in right field batting second, Matt Stairs (who recorded his first RBI last night) hitting cleanup and Alex Cora at shortstop.
That lineup will be facing a tough right-hander in Dan Haren, but the Nationals send their own tough righty to the mound in Jordan Zimmermann, seeking his 11th consecutive quality start.
As you know, I'm not in Anaheim for the end of this series, so enjoy the game (which thankfully is being played in prime time here on the East Coast). I'll be back at the ballpark Friday night for the start of the homestand…

Here's the thing about this lineup. I recall a couple of games this season when Riggleman put out what looked to be a train wreck of a lineup. Funny thing is the Nats won those games. It may also work for Davey. So, I'm reserving judgment.
- Frediemac - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:27 PM
Stairs in the cleanup spot…Do they call this the mail it in game?
- SonnyG10 - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:28 PM
Alright guys, lets get some run support for Jordan, tonight and avoid a sweep. GYFNG!!!
- Nats Outsider - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:30 PM
Frediemac said… Stairs in the cleanup spot…Do they call this the mail it in game?It does look like Johnson has decided, after last night's debacle, that the best thing to do is start fresh again at home.
- Anonymous - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Interesting strategy here. I hope JZimm doesn't get discouraged by the lineup. I also would hit Morse 4. I think managers put to much thought into the RLR staggering.What the hell do I know though?
- Wally - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:39 PM
Hey, there is good news here. After Danny bats, I can catch up on old Swamp People episodes until we swing back to Bernie.
- TheRube - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:40 PM
I'm fine sitting Nix (injury) and Werth (get his head right?). Not sure about sitting Desi. Is his leg still hurting?The Bernadina/Bixler experiment could be interesting. Two speedsters on base for Zim to bring home. Assuming they get on base.Honestly, let Matt Stairs swing away. This is his last chance to get 3 or 4 at bats in a single game. I want to see if he can put something together (last night was pleasant enough).And, finally, if Davey's lineups aren't working in a couple games and we need a negative nickname for him, it's gotta have something to do with the fact every time the camera shows him in the dugout he is expelling a stream of brown spit. Chewy perhaps?
- P. Cole - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:47 PM
I'll admit that I've never been a fan of Werth as a ball player, but did you all see his ridiculous quote in Kilgore's piece?I like to think that just my presence, just me being here, has helped the team.Indeed, his presence has helped guys like Desmond, Ankiel, and Stairs look not-so-bad. Well, maybe not Stairs.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jun 29, 2011 at 8:50 PM
Purely symbolic, of course (unless you had money on it), but a win tonite means they finish the first half in the black; a loss and they are in the red.

- A DC Wonk - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Look, guys need a break once in a while. Only the Nats players themselves, and hopefully Davey, know what's been going on over the past week.In another thread, someone was complaining that Davey was smiling a lot during yesterday's game. I have the same response: we don't know what's going on in the dugout.I remember, quite clearly, that after the Mets had lost the first two games (at home!) of their 1986 World Series against the Red Sox, Davey gave the whole team a day off. No batting practice, no nothing. Some in the media were livid, others were calling him arrogant. Davey explained later that the Mets had just finished a very stressful playoffs against the Astros (including winning the finale in a 16-inning thriller where they blew at least two saves), and he felt the players were burnt out and just needed a break.The results speak for themselves.
- Another_Sam - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Sofa — Regarding tonight determining red or black for first half: I'll take it. In April I'd never have guessed this.
- NatStat - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Must be some hidden sabermetrics in Davey's lineup. Obviously it's important that Stairs be 'protected' by Morse; vice-versa would be goofy.
- Bowdenball - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:20 PM
I guess Davey Johnson has Haren on his fantasy baseball team?DC Wonk- Desmond had a day off recently. All the guys have a day off tomorrow. And most of them have a mini-vacation less than two weeks away. This game is the difference between returning home for a long home stand over .500 vs. under .500. That affects buzz going into the home stand and maybe even ticket sales. I'll give Davey the benefit of the doubt, but to me it looks like he's protecting his regular players who are slumping a bit from having to hit against a great pitcher in difficult hitting conditions. If that's the case, I don't like it. The team comes first, and if they're egos can't handle struggling against the likes of Dan Haren they've got bigger problems than a day off can fix.
- FS - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:22 PM
Not even Connie Mack can convince me that hitting Stairs ahead of Morse and Espinosa is good.Then again this might be Stairs' send-off game.Either way, we better win tonight.
- Bowdenball - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:23 PM
"their egos." Sorry.
- Grandstander - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:28 PM
NatStat, I think it has more to do with R-L-R alternation. Sabermatricians tend to scoff at the idea of "protection" and don't really buy into it. On the other hand, if there are "hidden sabermetrics" into batting Stairs cleanup and Bixler in the 2-hole, it would go against everything I've ever read about sabermetrics, ever. 1, 2 and 4 are considered the top 3 lineup spots in sabermetrics. I actually don't mind this lineup, even though it appears he just picked names out of a hat and randomly wrote them in. Get a couple guys in there who haven't been seeing a lot of ABs and let them go get some. We'll see how it works out, I guess.
- DFL - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:29 PM
Wouldn't it be something if Stairs broke out, homered twice, and knocked in five runs?As for the Mets-Red Sox series mentioned by DC Wonk, that series was lost by the Sox manager McNamara. He should have had Stapleton in at first and not the gimpy Buckner. Ironically, Stapleton would have gone out a champ as he never played major league baseball again. The '86 World Series was Stapleton's swan song. Still, Buckner choked on the ball.
- waddu eye no - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:37 PM
wouldn't it be nice if Babe Ruth rose from the dead from the middle of the mound, scared the angels away, and we win be default? if you're gonna dream, dream big.though the stairs dream is pretty huge
- NatsLady - Jun 29, 2011 at 9:54 PM
Well, so much for a "stable lineup". That lasted two games.IMO, Davey is sitting out certain players and pretty much threw the rest of them in the mix as best he could, with the idea that when we get back to DC the folks are rested and ready. I'm not saying he's conceding the game and sweep to LA, I'm saying that he's considering the state of both the players' minds and their bodies. It's a long season and you have to pace yourself. Bear in mind we have a double-header on Saturday, and bear in mind it is predicted to be HOT and HUMID for the holiday weekend. And the Pirates, amazingly, are not a hopeless team.
- carolync - Jun 29, 2011 at 10:06 PM
As one who stayed up and watched last night's debacle, I applaud Johnson for this line-up and I won't be surprised if these guys do well. Stairs had two hits and an RBI last night which is more than you can say for Werth and Desmond. They have both looked awful at the plate of late and Desmond had two errors at short. Whatever happened to sitting out guys who weren't performing?I'm looking forward to seeing how this works. Go Nats!
- Bzl. - Jun 29, 2011 at 10:14 PM
@waddu eye no… long time since I laughed this hard!@DFL, people seem to forget that the game was *tied* when Buckner booted the ball. Mets could've easily won that game in extras.I think we have a good shot at winning this game, what with JZimm on the mound.
- natsfan1a - Jun 29, 2011 at 10:14 PM
AnotherSam, I'd not have guessed it either. Who among us would have? (If so, as Mark has been known to say – liars. ;-))Thanks to the baseball deities for a game that starts several hours before 10 p.m. Woohoo!Good point by NatsLady re. the upcoming doubleheader. Kinda cool to see the Pirates rising in the standings as well, imo (but not this weekend, Bucco).Last but not least, how many times have the Nats faithful bemoaned a lineup only to have the players involved break out with a great win? It's been known to happen. I'm just saying.
- phil dunn - Jun 29, 2011 at 10:51 PM
FYI, I believe tomorrow is the last day for All Star voting. Don't forget to do a write-in for Matty Stairs. I voted for Espinosa at 2B and Morse in the outfield. No one else on the team is deserving, except for Matty.
- sjm308 - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:00 PM
Did someone really post "we better win" or else what?Wow, what are you going to do if they lose, quite rooting? Not go to games? Tell Rizzo to fire Davey?How many of you would love to see us at .500 after 82 games? We can still do that. I am not happy with the last two games and I imagine most of you are feeling the same, but I will still be rooting them to a 3-3 record on this away trip. Also thankful for no more dh the rest of the season. Back to real baseball for the last 81 games and also we will play more games at home then on the road the second half. I honestly figured 75-78 wins this year and we are certainly on track for that but now, I would love to see us hover around .500 through the All-Star break and then hopefully make one more rush with another nice winning streak. It could happen.go Nats!!!

Okay – some of you need to take the night off as well! Geesh.. Give these guys a break! We have no idea what is going on in the clubhouse. It could have been a NIGHTMARE. The team seemed more broken up about losing Mac than they did Riggs? And if anyone had told any of us that we would be One up or One down at the halfway point during that horrible stretch in May, don't you think we would be jumping for joy!!!

- Dave - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:29 PM
Hey, 1a, thanks for mentioning the starting time. I didn't even pay attention. I've turned on Bob and FP. If I hadn't heeded your hint, I would've missed the whole game.
- MicheleS - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:30 PM
On another note.. I just bought my Danny Espinosa jersey.. They were having a sale on the website for $20 off…
- Wally - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:42 PM
Speaking of Danny, I think the major league record for homers by a rookie 2B is 27. Danny has a chance (and a sound bite like that can really help things like Rookie of the Year).I wonder what % of Pudge's ABs resulted in a groundball between 1st and 2d base (hit or groundout). I am going to guess something ridiculously high, like 20%. Anyone know of a way to check that?
- CBinDC - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:44 PM
So what are we to make of this so far ……they look like the energy that got them through the Chicago series is gone and with it the winning they had come to expect or is it an expected blip soon to right it self after they get home.
- CBinDC - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:45 PM
And have they won one game with Matt Stairs starting ?
- Wally - Jun 29, 2011 at 11:50 PM
Not Morse's best defensive play, but it didn't hurt us.I am a big fan of Bourjos, and would love to see us make a run at him, once they are ready to bring up Trout. Sick, sick defense in CF, which we could use with a corner group of Werth, Harper, Nix, Morse, etc. Very fast, too. Hits enough to stay in the lineup.
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:06 AM
Bad throw by Zimm, but not Danny's best effort either. Short armed it, worried about the runner. We called that 'alligator arms' in football.On the other hand, I don't ever think I have seen Cora make a bad throw. One run could be a lot today.By the way, I am trending. 5 out of last 10 posts. Feels like singing in the shower.

- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:33 AM
The only good thing right now is that Haren is near 100 pitches.
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:39 AM
That was a silly play all around (except fo JZimm). Strikeout, wild pitch, error on throw to first, out at second
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:41 AM
That, on the other hand, was an excellent play by Bernie.Trending again
- Andrew - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:42 AM
Wally, I think no error unless he was safe at 2nd.Bernadina and Bixler with outfield assists in this inning! JZim with no earned runs. The Nats have to get some offense going!
- dj in Fl. - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:43 AM

- CBinDC - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:45 AM
WHY OH WHY Is Matt Stairs on this team …when he went missing they won ….here he is back and bam nothing
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:46 AM
Andrew – you must be right, because the box score still shows only 1 error. Odd rule, though. If he stays at 1st, there would have been an error. So bad baserunning nullifies Pudge's error?
- Stranded_in_Philly - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:47 AM
Is it sad that when I heard Bob say, "Strikeout number 5 for Haren," in my head I heard "Strikeout number 5 for Stairs" and didn't find it odd at all that he had that many K's by the 7th inning?
- Exposremains - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:50 AM
I seem to recall some pretty bad looking Nats against Haren in past years games.
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:55 AM
Stranded – what is even sadder is that JZ probably only has 8 or 9 starts left (160 inning cap – 100 innings pitched so far). 60 innings left, and he has been going at least 7. Think early August shutdown.Bummer.
- MicheleS - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:57 AM
Wally, don't remind me of the innings cap…It will be a sad day in Nats down when they shut JZimm down.. Only way it gets better is if Stras is on the September Call ups..

My day started early and I just sat down to look at NIer for the first time twenty minutes ago. Sec3, I loved the way you "called" some of those plays from last night, the dying quail in particular, Grandstander and some others cracked me up. So, these guys are just tired. Letting down after a crisis. It happens in real life — you charge through the tough part and then sort of implode some — and it happens in baseball. It ain't pretty tonight but I'm not worried. Except I am worried about JHJr. More than a contusion would not be good. He makes stuff happen.U2 has been ruining baseball games all over America this month, haven't they? I hope Baltimore is as close as they get to DC. And I hope they play in Philly. Three times. All a week apart. But not when we are scheduled to be up there.

JZim's ERA down to 2.63 and of course deserves a Win. No earned runs today. After the way the Angels have pounded the Nats pitchers in this series, I can really appreciate this performance and his 11th straight quality start.Not sure what it is on Mark's pitching index but it should be good.

Well right back to the bottom we go …… I am not sure why coming into this situation Johnson did not make Stairs the bench coach instead of playing him every day ….HE ADDS NOTHING WHY IS HE PLAYING !!!!!!!!!! He keeps this up and he will surpass Wilie Mo Pena as the greatest nothing in Nationals history
- Exposremains - Jun 30, 2011 at 1:29 AM

- FS - Jun 30, 2011 at 1:32 AM
Seriously though, glad the road trip is over. We just did not have it against the Angels. We played well against the White Sox so not sure what the Angels were doing right against us. Now we have like 11 games in 10 days I believe at home. Hope we can do some damage against Pirates, Cubs, and Rockies, and get back over .500.
- MicheleS - Jun 30, 2011 at 1:34 AM
It was on one of Kilgore's Journal entries. He was making comments about changes that he would like to see, not specifics just a general comment.
- Drew8 - Jun 30, 2011 at 2:17 AM
On a happier note — and at this point a plague of locusts would qualify — there's another impressive reclamation project in the Nats' minor league system. While we wait for the blue-chippers like Cole, Ray, Solis and Meyer, the organization seems to thrive on turning late-round pitchers into bonafide prospects.At Hagerstown a starter named Taylor Jordan is now 8-3 with a 2.63 ERA, 56 k's and 21 walks.He's a 9th round 2009 pick out of Brevard CC in Florida. Until this year he didn't seem like much of a prospect, but now he's third in ERA in the Sally. Mind you, that's a hitters league. Harper's 45 RBIs in 67 games rank 11th!Like Brad Peacock in AA (41st round in 2006) something has turned Jordan around.Meantime, how's this for an incredible stat. At Syracuse Tom Milone (10th rounder, 2008) has 95 strikeouts and FIVE walks.Maybe it's as simple as McCatty's mantra: "Throw strikes, meat." But it seems Spin Williams and his troops are doing a bang-up job.

So bad baserunning nullifies Pudge's error?I have been ab official scorer for many years. There was no error on that play. Not sure what you are talking about. The man gets to first on the Wild pitch (that is an error, but never called one). Had he advanced to second then an E2. had he stayed at first no error. That is one of the rules I don;t like, but has been that way for years.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 30, 2011 at 2:23 AM
If you would have asked me before the season if I would be happy with 40-41 half time record I would say yes. we are where we should be. Pitchers have been good enough to easily have won 60 games. Hitters good enough to easily win 10 games. Fielders good enough to win 50 games. those add up to 120 divided by three equal 40. Right where we are at.Are the hitters as a whole any better than opening game 2-0 lost. NO. Has front office approached the problem? No. Have they tried tweaking the pitching yes. Has the pitching been the problem? No, Sees their focus has been on the wrong part. Only thing I hate more than the Nats hitting is the word verification for this. some of the fonts are too funky to read.

With Johny Mac gone, I think Espi will change to his college and minors #8 (see link http://www.flickr.com/photos/amandarykoff/4114243326/ ) I'm thinking this happens right after the ASG.

Are the hitters as a whole any better than opening game 2-0 lost. NO. Has front office approached the problem? No. Have they tried tweaking the pitching yes. Has the pitching been the problem? No, Sees their focus has been on the wrong part. Has the front office addressed the problem? YES.1, They drafted an elite hitter who may be the best college hitter drafted in over a decade. He is capable of gold glove level play at third base.2. They've brought in Matt Antonelli, Jesus Valdez into Syracuse. Christ Marerro continues to develop and improve. Steve Lombardozzi has been promoted to Syracuse and continues in the same vein.3. They drafted Brian Goodwin in the sandwich round.4.. They are developing Bernadina and Espinosa who continue to improvebefore our eyes.What you're asking is whole sale replacement of players like Matt Stairs, Rick Ankiel, in other words the under performers. You can add Pudge Rodriguez, Jayson Werth, and Ian Desmond to that list.Point here is Rizzo is right in what he says when says he will only execute deals that improve the ballclub both now in 2011 and into the foreseeable future. Does it help the club to sell of a just barely jump started farm system for someone like Reyes? For a prospect like Peter Bourjous? If you were against selling it for Zach Grienke who is clearly more valuable why would you think it was for a hitter! Dumbkoff! These are the German Secret Papers: bowel movement. Yep, its that ridiculous. That stupid. NO he isn't going to make a trade just because you don't like the way they are hitting now. Its going to be done carefully and methodically. The surprise acquisition of Rendon pretty much changes everything. He is capable of achieving the majors as fast as Zimmerman did. There is your other bat. Young, controlled by the club, good or excellent well into the future. But, yes it requires some patience to develop a Harper and a Rendon to go with a Bernadina, a Lombardozzi, an Espinosa. And in the end it will be more important to re-up the contract of Ryan Zimmerman than to bring in some hitter that could just as easily end up like Dunn, or Wells, or Crawford in Boston. To say the front office is doing nothing is ridiculous. They are building a franchise, an organization not just for this year for many years hence.
- NATSONE - Jun 30, 2011 at 6:16 AM
You know all this talk about the Nats going after BJ Upton, I think they're going after the wrong guy. I think a trade for Michael Bourn is in order. Even if we overpay a little. That kind of PROVEN tablesetter is what this team needs badly. I hope Rizzo would work on that one. It's not like the Astros are going anywhere.

I proudly wear my Storen #58 jersey every chance I get. If you get an Espinosa #18, treasure it as the jersey number he wore in his breakout rookie season. Shows you're not a bandwagoner.
- Wally - Jun 30, 2011 at 11:49 AM
Hopefully, these guys get some rest and heal up. This is a banged up club. This series against the Pirates is important. Got to start playing better against the lesser clubs, especially at home. I would really like to see them win three out of four.Hoping Bryce Harper doesn't get promoted for at least another week. Heading up to Jersey shore to visit family, and planning to check out Lakewood-Hagerstown game on Tuesday.
- NatsLady - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:12 PM
Out of the six road games, two were bad (the Saturday slump in Chicago, from which the team recovered nicely on Sunday), and the mess on Tuesday. We could have won 4 out of 6. Wednesday's game was a fluke, your SP going the distance with in essence a shutout. So the road trip should have been .500. OK, so the boys are playing .500 ball. That's what we hoped for at the mid-point.
- NatsLady - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:14 PM
P.S., watched the Rays game on MLB TV. BJ Upton? Not impressed. We already have guys who can strike out.

Anyone know anything more about JHJ's wrist? The Post article this morning said the word "broke"

Do you think Riggs can be coaxed back? Even if we grovel?
- natsfan1a - Jun 30, 2011 at 12:52 PM
Not saying that anybody here is a bandwagoner, but technically speaking I believe that would be, say, a Wilkerson jersey. ;-)Re. the w-l record, I wasn't expecting to be this close to .500 midway through this season, and I'm optimistic about the remainder of the season (now at 40-41; last year at 35-46). 46 to go at home (current home record 22-13) and 35 on the road (current road record 18-28, but I believe they've been on a better pace the last few road trips). Out of the division cellar even though they've slid back a notch. And still in the wild card hunt, in theory. Heck, I'll take it.Dave said… I proudly wear my Storen #58 jersey every chance I get.

1a, if you're not one of these front-runner arrivistes, there will only ever be one true #18 for real Nats fans: Terrmel "Two-Rs-One-L" Sledge.

Coax Riggleman back? The heck with that. Let's have a seance and coax back Bucky Harris. The only Washington manager ever to win a WS. Let's thing big people.

A HEADS UP FOR TUESDAYNats Press ReleaseFirst Lady Michelle Obama will join the Washington Nationals to honor military families before the Nationals take on the Chicago Cubs for the second of a three-game series on Tuesday, July 5 at 7:05 p.m.The Nationals have dedicated the day as "Joining Forces with the Washington Nationals – Honoring Our Military Families," in support of the Joining Forces initiative, which is spearheaded by Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden. Joining Forces is a national initiative that focuses on mobilizing all sectors of society to support military families.In the spirit of the Nationals' military outreach, the First Lady will be escorted to home plate by children from military families, one of whom will throw out the first pitch. Mrs. Obama will also join military families when they are recognized by fans during the third inning military tribute, a game day tradition at Nationals Park. In addition, all pregame assets and in-game programming elements – including a special public service announcement featuring the First Lady and Nationals players – will highlight the courage and sacrifice of military families.Fans are encouraged to arrive an hour to two hours earlier than normal due to enhanced security and to reduce the risk of having to stand in line at each gate. Center Field Gates will open at 4:30 p.m., while all gates open at 5:30 p.m.

I have a Wilkerson jersey too! I wore it once last year and someone asked me how you order "one of those jerseys with your own last name on it." When I replied that I had no idea, he asked, "Well, where did you get THAT one?" I have a Storen 25. Which he never wore in a game, as it happens. Oh well. Just finally ordered one made with Livo's number on it. He is my all-time favorite Nat. Took me long enough to do it.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jun 30, 2011 at 2:24 PM
My only regret about the Opening Day Jose Vidro jersey is that it doesn't have room for "Past a diving …"Although Jane's guy would probably want to know what "pasta-diving" is…

Nats need to come home and regroup. Overall….a great first half, even if we can't hit our way out of a paper sack. I think Davey is gonna make changes. Mold this team after him. I think he wants another lefty in the pen and I think he wanted one last look at Stairs before wielding the ax on him.I wish they would just tell Zim to throw his old way. anytime he throws over the top he looks like a sissy.

Except Bernadina is hitting from every spot in the lineup he's been in, except leadoff. Morse is getting on base. And another thing: they won 1.39 [stuff]loads of games with the pitcher hitting 8th, and immediately lost three in a row when they stopped. Coincidence? Probably. But you respect the streak. You just do.

Ways for New Homeowners to Save Money
written by

BillCutterz Money Saving Blog
As a first time homeowner, there is no doubt that you will be overwhelmed excitement, but also with the amount of responsibility you will now face.� Many new home buyers do not do the proper planning and research that will help put themselves in the best financial situation possible.
There are plenty of ways to save money beforehand, in addition to during the first year as a new homeowner.� Here are some ways for new homeowners to save money that will help you now and in the long run.
Improvement and Maintenance
When you move into a new home, you definitely want it to be close to perfect, but you must have realistic expectations/standards.� This is just the beginning of your new home with your family, so there will be improvements you will have to make over time.� Remember, this is your first home, not a mansion, so be enthusiastic but not blind to reality. You should seek to get the most out of your new home, so here are some tips to keep spending in check.
Don�t overspend on furniture
As a new homeowner, chances are that a lot of�
money was spent on your down payment
, and having top of the line furniture is a luxury, not a necessity.� Spend your money to create long- term value (i.e. energy efficient appliances) not just aesthetic appeal.
Check all toilets/plumbing for leaks
This may seem very basic, but by checking your home for leaks you will help prevent future costs that can be caused from leak damage.
DIY Projects
Not every project needs to be a do-it-yourself activity (such as wood flooring installation), but small projects like painting, cabinet building, etc. should be done to cut costs.
Home maintenance checklist
You should develop a checklist that will help you keep up-to-date with maintenance tasks. A�
list like this can be used when seasons change
�or just annually to see what needs to be done to extend the life of home items.
Tax Benefits
Another way to save money as a new homeowner is from Uncle Sam (almost hard to believe!).� There are options through the federal government such as the�
first time home buyer tax credit
, which is a loan that can be used to buy appliances, do home improvement, or anything else that you would like. Depending on your location, the government may provide even more tax incentives to help first time homeowner, just be sure to research accordingly.
Energy Efficiency
Investing in making your new home more energy efficient will definitely save you money in your first year�s utility bills, as well as long term.� In addition to saving on utility bills and being environmentally conscious, you can also receive certain tax credits for having an energy efficient home (
the energy tax credit was recently extended through 2013
). There is a wide selection of windows, insulation, and even�
water heaters
�that will be able to reduce your energy usage, in turn adding value to your home.
Being a new homeowner is a great accomplishment and investment, so make sure to get the most out of your new home by cutting some costs as well as creating value.

Follow up from yam chips. These were great plain as well as with the oil and salt. Unfortunately, I ate them all within 24 hours. Yummy. I'll make more of these!
Raw yam chips
Prep Time
5 min -
Total Time
16 hours 45 min -
Shelf Life
Eat immediately -
Rate me! -
2 servings
- 1 or 2 large yams
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Recipe Directions
- 1. Peel the yam (AKA remove outer brown skin). Using a carrot peeler works great.
- 2. Slice the yam into THIN SLICES using a MANDOLIN SLICER. This is a finicky recipe and it will only work if you use a mandolin slicer. You are making thin chips here. YAM CHIPS DO NOT WORK OR TASTE GOOD UNLESS THEY ARE THINLY SLICED, LIKE A THIN POTATO CHIP. DO NOT CHOP THEM LIKE FRIES, THEY WON'T DEHYDRATE PROPERLY IF YOU DO THAT. Sorry for yelling at you but it's true :)
- 3. Place sliced yam slices onto a dehydrator sheet covered with parchment paper (do not put oil or salt or anything on the yam slices.)
- 4. Dehydrate! Dehydrate on high for one hour, then reduce heat to 115 degrees. Dehydrate until they are dry, they will curl up and look like this photo. You will know that they are ready once they are crispy!
- 5. Before eating, place chips in a ziploc bag. Sprinkle a tiny bit of olive oil (add way less than you think you will need, it only takes like, a tiny splash to coat them well and you don't want to over-oil them) in the sac. Shake and squish a bit inside the sac to distribute the oil. Once the oil is well distributed on the raw yam chips, add a bit of sea salt and any other flavoring that you like (like dill or onion powder or whatever).
- 6. Eat immediately! They don't keep well once you've seasoned them with the oil and spices, so... eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianRaw yam chips are a nice alternative to kale chips.
The hardest part about this raw yam chips recipe is owning a mandoline slicer. If you do not have one put it on your to-buy list for the next time you go to a big box store, like Wal-Mart or Target. They are inexpensive. I just bought mine recently for $19. I am so glad I bought one and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner!
A common mistake when making raw yam chips is:
1. Not cutting thin enough (Must use mandoline slicer!)
2. Adding the oil and stuff BEFORE dehydrating (DO NOT DO THIS!)

I am making my first batch your way, with the oil and salt added. Before I only made the chips with no seasoning. I'm looking forward to the seasoned chips. I hope this will be a staple, since I travel a lot and need "on the road again" food. Love your ideas!
When I make these or any kind of dehydrated items that are crispy, I use One Cal Spray and Cook to give a light coating of extra virgin olive oil before adding my sprinkled flavourings. Every piece is evenly coated and the calorie savings over a period of time can be significant.
We call yams, Kumera (or sweet potato) in New Zealand and we eat it often. My kids have headed straight into the kitchen to make these! Thanks, will let you know how they go ... we are all looking forward to them.
I don't have a dehydrator :-/ could I use an oven?
Yams, unlike sweet potatoes, are toxic if eaten raw, yet perfectly safe when cooked.
why does it say it takes 16 hours to dehydrate these. Takes that long? Really? I gave away my mandolin after a not good experience. The spiralizer is much safer. How about if we use that?
can you please explain why seasoning is not recommended before dehydrating?
I am going to make these tonight and was wondering why peel off the skin? Thanks!
I love the site and I have had success with many of the recipes. I had tried this recipe (before I found this site) and found that the chips came out way too hard. They looked beautiful going in to the dehydrator (like perfectly sliced orange potato chips) however coming out, they shrunk to a quarter of their original size and they had way too much hard crunch, not the crisp like a potato chip. (I used a mandolin and they were thin) The only difference in the recipe I followed was that it had you put coconut oil on the chips before they went in. Is this what ruined my chips? I am hesitant to try to make these chips again because they came out so bad.
Hi Anna, thanks for your feedback. Great to hear from you.
How long did you leave them in the dehydrator for? I like them pretty crunchy, but if you want them with less crunch perhaps you could dehydrate for half as long as last time? They do shrink quite a bit though.
Also, I do recommend dehydrating without any oil so perhaps that had something to do with it.
This is great, I also like to add a bit of hot cayenne pepper to give these a bit of a kick
Follow up from yam chips. These were great plain as well as with the oil and salt. Unfortunately, I ate them all within 24 hours. Yummy. I'll make more of these!

Rays' Cobb looks to snap out of slump against Astros
Tampa Bay right-hander aiming for first win since April 12
The streaking Astros, who have gone 20-11 since May 11, will try to keep their good run going when they face the struggling Rays on Friday for the first time this season.
Both teams are in last place, but the Astros are surging, having won six of their last eight. They've been especially tough at home, going 10-4 since May 13. They have won four of their last seven series, with three splits.
"I think these guys have always played with tremendous energy," manager Bo Porter said. "You look at the way we've played over this stretch, where we've been winning a lot of close games, we've had some adversity and battled back from adversity and been able to overcome it. These guys are feeling off that mojo, and it's exciting to see."
The Rays, on the other hand, lost 14 of 15 before Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals. The Rays haven't won a series since they completed their sweep of the Red Sox on May 25.
On Friday Tampa Bay will send to the mound Alex Cobb, who has been struggling. In his last three starts, he has given up 16 runs in 15 1/3 innings, and opponents are batting .358 against him.
Before that he had been in a groove, setting the Rays' franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings by a starter. But during a series in Toronto, he said he started rushing his delivery, going too quickly toward the plate and getting out of whack.
"It's boring pitcher talk, but there's a couple of different things that were leading to one another -- the main factor being rushing down the hill a little bit, letting your body go down before your arm was caught up," Cobb said.
In preparation for his start against Houston, Cobb watched the Astros play a few days ago and checked out their offense. He referred to the top prospects Houston has brought up, George Springer and Jon Singleton, and the energy they bring to the lineup.
Collin McHugh starts Friday's series opener for Houston. In his last three starts, spanning 16 1/3 innings, he is 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA. The Astros have a 3-0 record in those starts.
"I see some veteran guys, some guys who are willing to take some pitches," McHugh said. "They can come out and really swing the bat really well, but I think it's a lineup we match up favorably against, at least me personally. I'm looking forward to it."
Rays: Hanigan back, might get days off in Houston
Catcher Ryan Hanigan, who was activated from the disabled list after Tampa Bay's 1-0 loss on Tuesday, started Wednesday's game against St. Louis. He caught and batted ninth, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk.
Hanigan, who was recovering from a strained right hamstring, just wants to get back into a groove.
"I want to have good at-bats -- I've got to take it one pitch at a time, one at-bat at a time, just to try get my rhythm," Hanigan said. "I had a few -- eight, nine, 10 -- at-bats in the Minor Leagues, but hopefully, I don't feel too rusty."
After rehabbing and playing a few games in the Minors, Hanigan said he is 100 percent healthy. But manager Joe Maddon said that for now, Hanigan is still going to have the same type of timeshare with Jose Molina as he did when playing through the nagging injury, especially with a couple of day games coming up.
"I don't want to break him," Maddon said. "[Molina] has been overall doing a lot better at the plate, of course his catching's always good, so you'll see a lot of back and forth."
Astros: Altuve expected to miss series opener
Second baseman Jose Altuve, who leads the Major Leagues with 90 hits and the American League with 24 stolen bases, is likely to miss the series opener after being hit on the right hand by a pitch on Thursday.
X-rays were negative; Altuve is listed as day to day.
"The good news is the x-rays are negative, which is a sigh of relief for all of us," Porter said. "Obviously, he's sore being hit on the hand with the ball."
Altuve, who went 2-for-3 to reach 90 hits this season, was struck on a pitch thrown by the D-backs' Randall Delgado while trying to put down a bunt. Altuve hit the ground after he was hit and was in obvious pain.
"When you get hit by a 90-something-mph fastball, that hurts, especially on the hand," Altuve said. "I didn't know what happened. When I went [for an x-ray] and they said it's not anything, I was really happy."
Altuve set out to play in 162 games this season, but that goal ended when he missed Wednesday's game because of a sore left oblique. On Thursday he doubled and singled before getting hit.
Worth noting
• The Rays extended their franchise-record streak of innings without scoring a run to 31 before breaking through with a four-run fourth on Wednesday night.
• The Astros are 27-7 when they score at least four runs.
• Houston (31-37) didn't pick up its 30th win of the 2013 season until July 3, the 85th game.
• Astros first baseman Jon Singleton is the second player in franchise history to hit three homers in his first 10 games, following J.D. Martinez in 2011.

Absolute Punk review! |
"It seems that the last few years have seen a plethora of "punk" documentaries. From American Hardcore (based on the book of the same name) to a semester of the genre packed into Punk: Attitude, we're certainly getting a visual of the 80's and 90's punk platform of yesterday. BYO Record's 25th anniversary documentary is not one to be shelved at all. Not only is there a visual, there's an audio accompaniment that is equally as nostalgic for some."

I was so excited to get my hands on this that I had to tell somebody. So I called my friend Alvin, who I assumed knew a lot about California punk rock.

Imagine a group of young musicians finding success, travelling internationally on high profile tours, gracing covers of magazines, endorsing products and having all the marks of what a successful band has in its routine. For Gabe Lindmen and Jay Northington, who had spent the better part of the early 2000s in the wildly successful pop punk outfit, Tsunami Bomb, it was just the kind of success story that seemed too good to be true at such a young age. And just as things seemed like they couldnt possibly get any better, the spring of 2006 saw Tsunami Bomb brought to an abrupt end with the group disbanded and tied up in litigation. Enter Nothington, in the fall of 2006. Jay and Gabe began practicing and writing songs in an old woodshop in Petaluma. It quickly became evident that the project would be a labor of love between the two bandmates and what emerged was the idea for both to get back to their punk rock roots. It was during endless hours on tour buses, planes and ...more

It's weird to reference new media and not take it into account. MLB.TV delivered 127.2 million streams in the first two weeks of 2009. It's hard to casually find statistics about the subscriptions last year, but that 127.2 million number was a 136 percent increase from the previous year. Attendance has also risen steadily at MLB stadiums. Check out the wiki for record-setting home attendance; most of the numbers are in the 2000s (decade, I mean). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_attendance_records
You also wrote: "While the NBA and NFL constantly remake rules for speed and action, baseball's last significant change was the designated hitter. In 1973."
That's just plain wrong. The MLB added a one-game wildcard last year in both divisions and updated several rules before the start of this season--notably a rule on balks, which was certainly imposed to speed up the game. There's also talk of eliminating the intentional walk.
That wildcard game drew only 4.6 million viewers--to TBS, which considered it a smash success. You also make a lot of choice comparisons between a series of games to ratings for a single game championship like the Superbowl, which is especially hard to swallow given how the Giants crushed the Tigers last year. Lots of people didn't continue watching the blowout, but that's true of any sports event.
You're also wrong about salaries determining championships or the Cubs would have won one by now. Plus, the Yankees suck this year, and they're pouring money into their team. The Dodgers are good, but they were beaten by a smaller payroll. The A's made it to the postseason on a pretty light budget. And about that "faster route of free agency"--ask the Marlins how that works out.
I just don't think that this editorial was well researched or reported.

Office of the Attorney General - State of Texas John Cornyn |
June 1, 1999 Ms. Dianne Eagleton
OR99-1518 Dear Ms. Eagleton: You have asked whether certain information is subject to required public disclosure under the Public Information Act, chapter 552 of the Government Code. Your request was assigned ID# 126552. You assert that the requested information is excepted from disclosure based on section 552.101 of the Government Code in conjunction with section 58.007 of the Family Code. Section 552.101 of the Government Code excepts from disclosure "information considered to be confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision." Section 552.101 encompasses confidentiality provisions such as Family Code section 58.007. Juvenile law enforcement records relating to conduct that occurred on or after September 1, 1997 are confidential under section 58.007. The relevant language of section 58.007(c) reads as follows: (c) Except as provided by Subsection (d), law enforcement records and files concerning a child may not be disclosed to the public and shall be: (1) kept separate from adult files and records; and (2) maintained on a local basis only and not sent to a central state or federal depository, except as provided by Subchapter B. The information at issue involves juvenile conduct that occurred after September 1, 1997. It does not appear that any of the exceptions in section 58.007 apply; therefore, the requested information is confidential pursuant to section 58.007(c) of the Family Code. You must withhold the information from disclosure under section 552.101 of the Government Code. We are resolving this matter with this informal letter ruling rather than with a published open records decision. This ruling is limited to the particular records at issue under the facts presented to us in this request and may not be relied upon as a previous determination regarding any other records. If you have questions about this ruling, please contact our office. Sincerely, Yen-Ha Le

Waits has a distinctive voice, described by the MusicHound? Rock Album Guide as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, as well as his experimental tendencies and a love of pre-rock Americana styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona.

Hi, I came across your blog, and I thought you would be the perfect person to contact.
My name is Jay Siva, the founder of EZBuyButton.com, an easy 'buy book' widget for authors. I'm contacting you today because I think you and your readers would love to know about the EZBuyButton widget I've created.
It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.
The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.
I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.
My website is http://www.ezbuybutton.com.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you. Thank you for your time.
kindest regards,
Jay Siva
