Ross Detwiler faces the Braves today at Space Coast Stadium.
VIERA, Fla. — As they were introducing the Nationals' starting lineup just now, the background music could only be described as "The Chipmunks Sing AC/DC." Is it time to go home yet?
Nope, we've still got two more games down here, starting today with the Braves. Fredi Gonzalez is using only relievers in this one, so Eric O'Flaherty will actually start and then pitch only one inning. Ross Detwiler starts for the Nationals. This is actually Stephen Strasburg's day to throw, but instead of facing a division rival, he already pitched in a minor-league game this morning, his final tune-up before Opening Day.
Bryce Harper, as you know, isn't in the Nationals' lineup. All the other regulars are, though. As opposed to the split-squad game taking place simultaneously in Jupiter against the Cardinals. There are no regulars down there, not even anyone from big-league camp.
Plenty of updates from this one to come…

Why have (or schedule) a "major-league" game with NO major leaguers?
- EmDash - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:01 PM
I'm surprised Bernadina isn't playing today – he needs the at-bats. Maybe he's in the minor league game against the Cards?Slidell2, it's a quirk of the scheduling – MLB gave them a split-squad day pretty late in the spring training season, and I imagine Davey didn't want to break up the ML guys while they're finishing up their defensive tune-ups for the season, so minor leaguers it has to be.
- NCNatsie - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:06 PM
Fifty-seven degrees! Good practice for early April in Washington!
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:11 PM
For them what has MLB TV, the Cards game is on. Jaime Garcia pitching for the bad guys.
- DaveB - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:17 PM
Just saw the starting line-up for the Cards game. Still no sighting of Brian Goodwin, even in a game with only minor leaguers. Anybody know if anything is up with him (e.g., injury)?
- NatsNut - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:19 PM
Well said, Seamhead. This is exactly how I'm going into the season. Joe Seamhead said… I, for one, am not expecting the Nats to win the World Series, but I have a realistic feeling that the could.
- IKN8wxU2 - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:29 PM
Wonder when the Barves will shut down Medlen? He only threw 138 innings last year. 30% more would be about 180 innings, which wouldn't be a full season, in all likelihood.Would be nice to see someone else questioned about a shutdown.
- Whack-a-Mule - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:49 PM
Are we expecting a weather-reduced crowd at the Yankees-Nats exhibition on Friday? My unscientific survey reveals some reluctance on the part of worker-bees to take off Friday as well as for the Monday opener.
- 3on2out - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:55 PM
"we're underway on a crisp, late-March afternoon in Viera…"Hot damn! In 48 hours Mark can use that same intro but instead of "in Viera" …how about "at Nationals Park"?
- Tcostant - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:56 PM
Medlen is 27, so don't expect a shutdown. Those limits are usually reserved for pitchers under the age of 25.
- NatsLady - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:56 PM
Puig was sent down, a guy who batted over .500 in spring training (though he didn't draw any walks). Listening to the analysis of why–I mean, what does it take to make a team out of spring training??–was interesting. First of all, pitchers who are trying to build up arm strength throw a lot of fast balls. Who hits fast balls well? Our Kid. Secondly, if you are a pitcher who will face him during the season, do you regard it as your job to teach him to hit breaking balls? Um, probably not. Without Pitch F/x, I would speculate Bryce has gotten a pretty steady diet of fastballs for those reasons. It's fun to watch his hitting "streak", but it isn't much more significant than batting practice. Probably the same for Mikey Morse and his unreal spring stats. Wait until the bell rings, then we'll see.
- Mac - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:57 PM
STH like myself were forced to buy the Friday game as part of our packages. Usually the attendance at the exhibition game consists of STH forced to buy the ticket plus bandwagon fans of the opposition. Last year, Red Sox. This year, Yankees. STH are probably more likely than bandwagon fans to stay home if the weather's not great, but either way the announced paid attendance will be the same.
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 5:59 PM
Love that Buffalo took one deep. Good to see him rounding back into form
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:01 PM
I am going to Friday's game (can't go to Opening Day because of Work). I know quite a few STH's that want to go but can't because of the Sequestor hanging over their heads. They elected to take Monday off to go to Opening Day.
- IKN8wxU2 - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:05 PM
Thanks, Tcostant. I wonder, however, if Medlen really should approach 200 innings. Not my problem, of course. I just remember last year everyone saying how smart the Barves were to start him as a reliever, to avoid the innings limit. Of course, they had no idea he was going to be the starter he was.
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:10 PM
IKN8.. and funny thing is, they used Medlen in the bullpen when they started them out and only won the Wild Card birth and we all know how that Play in Game turned out.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:11 PM
I'll be there on Monday, but not on Friday.
- MurrayTheRed - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:12 PM
MicheleS did I miss a nickname in the past? Ramos is the Buffalo! Interesting..
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:14 PM
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:15 PM
Murray, yea, they call Wilson the Buffalo, can't remember how that got started. I will check around and post back.
- Melissa Rabey - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:18 PM
I have to say, since my primary method of following all the daytime games is MLB's GameDay web thingy, I'll be really glad when spring training is over and the score tracker will actually, you know, work. Without having to constantly refresh for updates or use Twitter or NI for the same purpose. If nothing else, I miss seeing the balls and strikes play out.
- Knoxville Nat - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:19 PM
MicheleS, I'm not trying to be smart here but what does the sequestor have to do with being able to go to Friday's game vs. the Yankees? I don't follow that at all.
- NatsLady - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:21 PM
I enjoyed the Red Sox game last year, though, if I recall, there was a controversial call at the end of the game and no one bothered to argue it.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:22 PM
hehe, atta way, Wilson!
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:23 PM
Knoxville. A lot of people are having to work numerous hours planning in case of the sequester results in furloughs or trying to find ways to avoid the furloughs entirely. Other's don't want to burn PTO in case they do get furloughed (they are hoping they can use PTO time and still get paid – they know it's a pipe dream, but want to save as much PTO time as possible)
- timeless46 - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:23 PM
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:24 PM
And Tyler, too.
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:25 PM
And we are teeing off on Braves pitching. I like this.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:25 PM
Oh, dear. He walked the pitcher.
- Melissa Rabey - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:26 PM
MicheleS–"teeing off" would include Ross getting a hit here . . . [checks Gameday] A walk works, too!
- NatsLady - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:26 PM
It doesn't count.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:26 PM
Nooo, we liked that pitcher.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:27 PM
NatsLady, we know. But it's the Barves.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:27 PM
So we cheer.
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:27 PM
Murray, this was the response I got back on the nickname:one of his teammates said it would be like getting run over by a buffalo if he collided at home.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:27 PM
Plus, is Spring Training over yet?
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:27 PM
Even the braves guy is trashing their pitcher today:Mark Bowman@mlbbowman1mForty years ago Davey Johnson hit 43 homers for the Braves. I'm pretty sure he could hit one today if gets in there before Rodriguez exits
- Rabbit34 - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:28 PM
Great fourth inning for us. Bad for the Braves. I thought we traded HRod!
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Hairston used the nickname, but not sure if he coined it.
- Theophilus T. S. - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:31 PM
I am always curious about how the big club pitchers, e.g., Strasburg do against the minor leaguers and vice versa. Anybody know?
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:32 PM
From the NI archives, on the Buffalo.
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:35 PM
1A.. you are the best for digging up when the nickname started.
- Knoxville Nat - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:35 PM
MicheleS………thanks for the explanation.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:36 PM
I put it in the NIDO glossary as well. 0:-)
- Section 222 - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:39 PM
MicheleS, totally understandable that people would want to conserve leave during these uncertain times, but unfortunately you can't use leave to avoid losing pay during a furlough. See Question E1 on page 11 of this OPM Guidance.Great idea to add nicknames and their origins to the Glossary. If anyone writes up the Shark, be sure to include Ladson's rear guard action to stop that nickname in favor of "Speed Racer." I still remember the online poll he put up asking readers to choose, and he lost 90%- 10%.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:42 PM
It looks like someone already added Sharkadina.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:43 PM
Also, Sweet Fancy Moses, are those guys still teeing off!
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:44 PM
I'm sure no one will agree with me on this either (because even I know I'm being silly): call him Shark, or call him Bernadina. Sharkadina makes no sense. Make a choice, and commit!
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:46 PM
Oh, and a quick update for those of y'all wondering how the Cards game is going: don't ask.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:49 PM
I don't name 'em, I just report 'em.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:49 PM
Hey, the Barves are copying our hitters. What?
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:50 PM
Eh, it doesn't count. hehe.
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 6:57 PM
Theo: Nationals Journal, over at the Post, has a post that looks like it might describe Strasburg's minor-league game.
- Knoxville Nat - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:04 PM
"I'm no mathematician, but that seems pretty good."Come on Mark, you went to Northwestern, or are they simply known as a basketball school? LOL!!
- EmDash - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Moment of truth for Henry…and he walks the first batter on 4 pitches. Same as most of his outings.
- SCNatsFan - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:25 PM
It seems no mater what Rizzo is going to give Henry a chance to embarass himself in DC this year… and I've been on Henry's side forever but this is what he is.

From posts way back – thanks to Sec. 3 my sofa for putting the JayB rants in perspective – I am wondering if you have one of those fish over your sofa?Mac – I am not trying to be argumentative but my 20 game schedule includes that exhibition game as game #21 so I am not sure you can honestly say we were forced to buy it. In my mind, they gave it to us. The one disappointment I did have is the Nationals forcing us who have smaller plans to buy the opening day ticket. That had been a free game as well up until this year. I understand we are now a successful franchise and they don't need to do as much but it was still a nice gesture. I am surprised the red carpet points returned although certain games are now priced much higher. Anyway, I on Friday I start at Justins, 3 or 4 innings of exhibition baseball and then make decisions on the rest of the afternoon. I am gearing up for 9 strong innings on Monday.Go Nats!!
- JaneB - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:45 PM
In my NatsFitness quest, I'm taking THIS game as the game for which I will do the push ups. Not the horrible loss to the Cards. For some reason, I think it was Jason Marquis who first compared Wilson to a buffalo. And FP has mentioned it several times. It stuck. I'm starting to get really excited about Real Baseball. I thought I might be behind schedule but it turns out my spring training schedule is going to have me peak on April 1.
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:47 PM
Final score from Jupiter: 10-1, Cards.But it wasn't as close as it sounds.(The game ended a little while ago, but I had to keep pausing it, so I just saw the end.)
- Scooter - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:47 PM
Also, nice work stretching yourself out, sjm.

"Mac – I am not trying to be argumentative but my 20 game schedule includes that exhibition game as game #21 so I am not sure you can honestly say we were forced to buy it. In my mind, they gave it to us."And you gave them the money to pay for it. Do the math. You can't buy a partial plan without buying that game. That translates into being forced to buy it."The one disappointment I did have is the Nationals forcing us who have smaller plans to buy the opening day ticket. That had been a free game as well up until this year."It was never a free game. It was one of the games you paid for as part of your package. Typically they charge a certain amount per regular season game in the package, and the exhibition game costs half the regular season game cost. Again, do the math.Last year, I had already paid in full for the ST package (Opening Day included) before they scheduled the exhibition game. Once that game was scheduled, I got a call from my rep asking me what credit card I wanted to use to pay for the exhibition game. I had no choice to opt out.
- Section 222 - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:57 PM
Fantastic find on Dibble NL! The nugget buried in the story is that he's going to be calling the Angels games this year for Compass Media. Sean Burnett better be ready to man up.
- Section 222 - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:58 PM
sjm, Mac is right. You paid for that microphone, I mean, game.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 7:58 PM
Nats win. Yay. Is Spring Training over yet?
- EmDash - Mar 27, 2013 at 8:26 PM
According to the beat writers, Abad and Maldonado have been sent to the minors, and Owings and Rivero will go after tomorrow. No decision on the final bullpen slot; H-Rod and JC Romero will both come north with the team for Friday's final exhibition game.
- Ivan Tuski - Mar 27, 2013 at 8:35 PM
@Mac-I'm trying to be argumentative, yankees game is free. You are wrong. And I don't believe they charged you for the Redsox game last yearso there!
- sjm308 - Mar 27, 2013 at 8:50 PM
OK, I will argue as well. I am charged a certain amount for my 20 games and get a season ticket discount. The price for those 20 games is a certain value and that 21st game is not added in to my cost so like Ivan said and like I tried to say earlier, it was free. Now, I don't have a full season ticket package so if they then charged you for that game you have a point but I paid the same this year as last year for my partial package. Last year I got both the Red Sox game and opening day. This year I got the Yankee's and no opening day but my 20 games still came out to the same total. Either way, we are both fans, we both want success and hopefully we will be paying huge amounts for post season play as well.Go Nats!
- Theophilus T. S. - Mar 27, 2013 at 8:52 PM
Rodriguez put three men on base in an inning, Romero two. Sounds like a Hobson's choice to me.
- Mac - Mar 27, 2013 at 9:57 PM
"And I don't believe they charged you for the Redsox game last year"As I said, I got a phone call to give them a credit card number for the ten bucks or whatever it was – AFTER I had already paid the full amount on the invoice they sent. Then the charge showed up on my statement. What other aspects of modern finance do you not believe in?
- MicheleS - Mar 27, 2013 at 10:04 PM
Well, i seem too remember that Feel Wood having these same comments as Mac about the exhibition game.
- natsfan1a - Mar 27, 2013 at 10:14 PM
Ding ding ding!
- Ivan Tuski - Mar 27, 2013 at 10:56 PM
"What other aspects of modern finance do you not believe in?"Well since you asked I've always felt trickle down was just a fancy way of saying P'd on
- Ivan Tuski - Mar 27, 2013 at 10:58 PM
Regarding the exhibition game, anything better than paying $150 (plus another $50 to park) for a meaningless Skins game where everyone is out to not hurt themselves (unless M Shanahan decides to put in RG3 as part of his rehab)
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 27, 2013 at 11:54 PM
And Mac is not fond of Adam LaRoche.

LinoLetter™ font family
Designed by Linotype Design Studio in 1992
About LinoLetter™ font family
In the 1980s, Linotype worked with the Basel School of Design (Switzerland) to create a new typeface that would be maximized for optimum legibility. Professor Andre Gürtler oversaw the research for the project, along with Reinhard Haus and the Linotype Design Studio. The goal was to create a typeface to work with contemporary typesetting and printing technologies. Linotype released the result, LinoLetter, in 1992. Legibility typefaces are designed for printing under the poorest and most varied of conditions; LinoLetter is therefore ideal for newspaper work as well as other mass-produced printed pieces.

Its a well known fact that the first performance version of the Loongson will be the:
Loongson 3B-32nm with 8mb L3 cache@1,3ghz coming for sale in the first quarter of 2013
All other versions before that version was just "development" versions for developers.
And yes this one will be 3-4 times faster than the Loongson 3A.
Yes without there own GPU its just worst because the lowend-amd-chipset-gpu's used with the open-source drivers are just a nightmare.
But they work on a GPU with only OpenGL+OpenCL support without directX support for the year 2014.
Right now its pointless to buy Loongson hardware but in 2013 there 8 core and 16 core(28nm) will hit the market then maybe its a more interesting comparison.

Marketing chief puts Cleveland Clinic on the brand awareness map
Blog Entry:
May 01, 2013 10:21 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
There's all sorts of innovation taking place at the
Cleveland Clinic
, and it isn't just on the medical side of the operation.
Forbes.com runs a
video interview
with Paul Matsen, the chief marketing officer at the Clinic for the past seven years.
The website says Mr. Matsen, former CMO for Delta Air Lines, has helped establish the Clinic "as one of the most recognizable health care brands in the world."
He has done so, according to Forbes.com, with "a deft mix of digital, social and traditional media with a heavy dose of content marketing at the core. Indeed, his organization has enlisted full-time physicians to write original content posted on its Health Hub, updated daily with medical content, and Cleveland Clinic actively engages with consumers via Facebook and Twitter."
Mr. Matsen says one of his main goals is to raise brand awareness among those who don't even need its services yet, but may someday. Essentially, he says, he wants to "get consumers to find out who we are and then in the future for them to consider us as one of their first choices."
This and that
Benefit plan:
the CEO of
Cedar Fair
, Matthew Ouimet, and the company's response to what he calls a "barbell economy."
Because of the uneven nature of the recovery, Mr. Ouimet says some consumers are willing to pay extra for perks such as cutting lines, while others require "a more benefit-oriented" pitch.
In that spirit, the company last year began offering consumers the option of buying season passes to its park on installment plans. That has been a big hit, Bloomberg says.
From the story:
"Sales of passes climbed 10 percent last year with the introduction of the payment plan, Ouimet said. Customers using passes accounted for almost 40 percent of the 23 million visits to Cedar Fair parks last year, up from one-third the year before. The loyalists become salespeople, he said, convincing friends and family to buy passes, too. The company raised the price by 7.4 percent in January.
If you haven't already done so, check out
reporter Tim Magaw's April 22
about Mr. Ouimet and Cedar Fair.
Don't spend it all in one place:
Retail customers of
Charter One Bank
"may have some money coming to them based on an agreement the bank's parent has struck with federal regulators over allegations of misleading overdraft-charge policies," according to
this story
Crain's Chicago Business
Our sister publication reports that RBS Citizens N.A., Charter One's parent, has agreed to pay $2.5 million to about 265,000 customers as part of the consent order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
It also will pay a civil penalty of $5 million to the agency.

is kind enough to do the math so you don't have to: the settlement "works out to a little over $9 in reimbursements per customer on average."
Signs of better times:
Is U.S. manufacturing set for a comeback — or is it all just hype?
That's the question posed in
Washington Post
, which notes that since January 2010, the United States has added 520,000 manufacturing jobs.
"That's a decent number, but it pales beside the 6 million factory jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics says vanished between 2000 and 2009,"
The Post
Still, the paper says that the "logic of a manufacturing comeback remains compelling. Besides the shrinking wage gap between China and the United States, the productivity of the American worker keeps rising. Shipping costs are rising, making outsourcing more costly. And the surge in shale gas drilling gives the United States a wealth of cheap domestic energy to bolster industries such as petrochemicals."
It adds up:
Case Western Reserve University
lands at No. 47 on
this Forbes.com list
that attempts to determine private schools' return on investment.
One way to do that, according to the story, "is to measure the amount of private gifts given to a four-year college over time, divided by the number of full-time students." The logic is that private donations "typically indicate two things: how successful an alumnus is and how grateful he feels toward his alma mater."
(Because this is from Forbes.com, the website feels compelled to give the list a cute name: The Grateful Grad Index.)
for Case Western Reserve show the university has a 10-year median donation per student of $10,731, and an endowment per student of $203,048.
No. 1 on the list is the California Institute of Technology, with a 10-year median donation per student of $59,110 and an endowment per student of $732,152.

Hello everyone,
It's been years since I've been here at the Sub Committee, but wanted to come back and explore a possible new kit, which I'm sure many of you have discussed at length before.
My company Custom Replicas has been successful for years with our 66" movie Nautilus and feel it's time to expand our product line a bit. I'm here to ask for opinions on large scale kits, primary the H. L. Hunley submarine. Bob Martin and I have been debating this subject for some time now and feel it is a worthy historical sub that might be popular here with members, if offered in say 1/12 scale, as both static and R/C types.
I have seen many of the smaller kits and the beautiful 1/24 cutaway by Cottage Industries. Therefore, we would want to offer a finely detailed kit in a larger scale, so as not to directly compete. A larger scale to accommodate both details and room for W.T.C.s/etc. As one might expect, a fiberglass hull with zinc or white-metal, brass and/or machined exterior details, while using both metals and resins for any potential interior components, if we get to an interior version.
I'd like to invite any response and comments to our inquiry both here on the forum and at our e-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Feel free to describe what you'd like to have included in a kit of this subject, as well as any other subjects that may be popular enough to deem production investment.
Thanks for your consideration,
Jim Key

29.09.2012 /
The French national teams, well supported by leading KTM factory riders were in a class of their own this week for the annual ISDE, the International Six Days Enduro. The French were triumphant in major trophies and all major competition classes for this multi competition event!
The French, spearheaded by KTM factory riders Christophe Nambotin (E3 World Champion), Antoine Meo (E1 World Champion), Johnny Aubert and Husaberg rider Pierre-Alexandre Renet were never in doubt for the coveted World Trophy and led from the first day of competition.
Nambotin was the fastest overall rider over the six days of competition and won the E3 class. Meo finished just under a minute behind him in the overall rankings and also won the E1 class with KTM factory teammate Eero Remes of Finland in second. KTM's Johnny Aubert fought a hard battle the whole week with Renet to finish second overall in E2 and Toby Price, KTM's Australian Offroad Championship was second behind Nambotin in E3. Price rode from day one with a bent wheel and from Wednesday with damaged ribs. David Knight of the KTM Enduro factory Team was down to compete for the British team but had to withdraw due to illness.
Australia rode consistently well throughout and was second in the World Trophy, Italy took third and USA, with a slew of KTM USA's factory riders finished with a flourish by moving up two places into fourth place on the final day. France was followed home in the Junior World Trophy by Britain, USA and Australia and in the Women's Trophy by Germany and Australia.
The only mishap for KTM factory riders in the entire week was on Day Two when Spain's Cristobal Guerrero dislocated his shoulder and had to retire.
Riders tackled five days of challenging Enduro terrain around the Sachsenring racing circuit and on the final day, part of the route took riders on the asphalt of the famous circuit in a finale that had a "Supermoto" character. The event attracted large and enthusiastic crowds throughout, underlining the popularity of Enduro sport in and around the Saxony region.
The Red Bull ISDE is the oldest offroad event on the world FIM calendar. First started in Carlisle, England in 1913 it has been staged continually except during WWI and WW2. It is not only an event that is a highlight for top international riders but also attracts Endurists of all skill levels from all over the world. Hobby riders are able to compete on the same terrain and in the same conditions as the world's elite riders and it is a unique opportunity for camaraderie and a shared sporting experience for dedicated Endurists. As in every edition, KTM was at the 2012 ISDE not only offering support for its top riders but also full service customer packages for riders wishing to rent bikes and associated services.
Riders now return to their home countries and prepare for the 2013 edition to be held on the Italian island of Sardinia.

For solid wood blocks, I was expecting a much heavier package. I was concerned about "crummy pressed corkboard" blocks, but all is well. They're lovely and look hand crafted, and comes in a small, easy to store box (if you put them all back right). For "75 blocks", its really a very small box. It says "3+" , but the instruction manual included for the "super pretty castles" is something best left for probably the 6+ ages. However, the boy in my house who is about to turn 3 still enjoys building and stacking and seeing how he can make it connect and fit together. It's pretty good, but if you're ordering for someone at the you gets suggested age for the toy, you might have to wait a couple of years until they can get the full enjoyment out of it.
Bought this set to have on hand when young grandchildren come to visit. Lots of creative fun to be had each time the set is taken out. Probably will order another to be able to build a fortress.
My first purchase of these building blocks was almost a year ago. I read some of the reviews, and decided to purchase 2 sets to keep at our river house for when the grandchildren came to visit. We have 10 grandchildren ranging in age from 12 to 3 and it was a big hit. One of my grandsons loved it so much, that it was the only thing he requested for his birthday. I have just ordered 2 more sets for the twins that live in another state for Christmas. They both love building with Lego, but like these because they can build whatever they can think of, instead of following set directions and making only one item with the Lego. Quality is good and the shapes are varied and attractive.
My daughter's love the wooden castle blocks. They have spent hours and hours building different castle and they don't seem to be bored of it.
Well made, good material.
lovely blocks, well sanded, no slivers for little ones to get hurt on.
My 4 year old loves it. He can make many different varieties of castes. The pieces make it so easy for him to make something that looks like it was hard to build.
My three youngest kids love these the 11 and 8 year olds like to create different kinds of buildings with them, the two year old just loves block.
Bought this for a 6 year old grandson. This is a great gift for any child!

Question: Last night I saw this lizard in my Melbourne garden. It looks just like a gecko, but I didn't think geckos lived this far south. I know tropical frogs sometimes make it to Melbourne in shipments of bananas. Could this gecko be a stowaway? I'm worried the gecko won't survive a Melbourne winter. Should I try and catch it?
Photographer/Source: Michael Kearney
Answer: The gecko you saw in your garden is a Marbled Gecko, Christinus marmoratus.
Marbled Geckos are actually quite common in some parts of Melbourne (there is a huge population in the Melbourne Cemetery), but people rarely see them because they are nocturnal. You're most likely to find them between pieces of wood in your garden, in your roof or even indoors behind a picture frame.
A Marbled GeckoPhotographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
Even if you never see a gecko in your house or backyard, you can often tell they're around by the signs they leave behind. Marbled Geckos deposit tiny black and white poos on the surfaces they walk across (their poos look a lot like small bird poos).
Unlike most reptiles, Marbled Geckos don't leave their shed skins behind for keen naturalists to find. They eat them! They also eat spiders and insects such as cockroaches, so they are useful little creatures to have around the home.
Marbled Geckos are the only geckos that are found in Melbourne. It is unknown whether this species originally occurred in the area; it is possible that they were unintentionally introduced to the city by people bringing in firewood and garden rocks from other parts of Victoria.
Many reptiles would struggle in Melbourne in winter; moving, digesting and reproducing become more difficult for reptiles when it gets cold. Marbled Geckos, however, can be active at temperatures as low as six degrees. In the dead of winter they may only come out for a short time after it gets dark and then find shelter when it gets too cold.
In winter, Marbled Geckos select daytime retreats that will allow them to warm up – thin sun-baked rocks, roof tiles or north-facing tree bark. In summer they choose deeper retreats.
We would not recommend trying to catch the gecko in your garden. You could give it a nasty fright and cause it to drop its tail (a useful defensive strategy allowing the rest of the body to escape). Geckos store fat (and water) in their tails. While your gecko will cope perfectly well with the cold in winter, it will struggle without its winter stores during this period when food is scarce.
Hi Marianne,
The gecko is most likely to be a marbled gecko. They are extremely variable in their colouration pattern and are the only gecko commonly found in Melbourne. Asian house geckos can be very common in northern Australia but don't make it as far south as Melbourne as it is too cold for them. Asian house geckos are usually found in close association with dwellings, so are more likely to be found inside the house than out in the garden. They are also quite vocal and you would hear their "chuck chuck" call.
Hi Rachael - we referred this query to staff from the Herpetology research area here at the Museum, and the response was the gecko you describe is the Marbled Gecko. These, like a number of other species, vary considerably in body pattern and colour. The other species you mention, the invasive Asian House Gecko is a window frequenter and is often heard uttering its very familiar 'barking' notes. Meanwhile the Marbled species is silent. The Asian species has been recorded in Melbourne but the numbers are very few, especially compared to the highly abundant Marbled Gecko. The Asian Gecko populations appear to be restricted to areas near docks and jetties. As we believe that the gecko you describe here is the native species, the cat should be restrained from taking them and all of those caught should be released into a safer environment
Hi Chris - the main diet of Marbled Geckoes consists of invertebrates, it's unlikely they would cannibalise. You should be aware that this species is listed on Schedule 3 of the Wildlife Regulations Act 2002; as such you require a licence to keep them in captivity. There is also a code of practice for the safe housing of this and other listed species. More information on this can be found here for the required licence, and here for the code of practice for animal welfare, particularly the keeping of reptiles.
We hope this helps
Marbled Geckos are harmless little lizards and may be attracted inside by warmth and insects around lights at night.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Great article Tim. Allan and I have really enjoyed hearing all about, and viewing the photos from your trip.

Build your sitemap
Build a sitemap
You can choose from a variety of approaches to building your sitemap. The standard way to build a sitemap is to make an XML file; although, you can also use one of the alternative methods discussed later in this document. You also have the option to create your sitemap manually or, alternatively, you can choose from a number of third-party tools to generate your sitemap automatically. After you make your sitemap, you can later submit it to Google with the Sitemaps page.
An example of a simple XML sitemap that includes the location of a single URL is as follows. To learn about any the urlset
, url
, or loc
XML tags, see the Sitemap tags reference table below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
Key guidelines for making an XML sitemap that can be read by Google are as follows, grouped by category:
Sitemap considerations
- Include the following XML namespace declaration in your file:
xmlns= http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
. - Use consistent syntax for listing your URLs. For instance, if you list your home page URL as
, your sitemap should not have URLs that begin withhttp://example.com/
- Don't include session IDs from URLs in your sitemap to reduce duplicate crawling of those URLs.
- Point out translated versions of a URL to Google for crawling and indexing by listing the unique URLs of each language in your sitemap file and by using hreflang annotations.
- Include the following XML namespace declaration in your file:
Multiple sitemaps
- Break up a large sitemap into a set of smaller sitemaps to prevent your server from being overloaded by serving a large file to Google. A sitemap file can't contain more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50 MB uncompressed.
- Use a sitemap index file to list all your sitemaps and submit this single file to Google rather than submitting individual sitemaps.
Other considerations
- Sitemap files must be UTF-8 encoded, and URLs escaped appropriately.
- Use recommended canonicalization methods to tell Google, if your site is accessible on both the www and non-www versions of your domain, the version of your domain that yous submitted a sitemap for (you only need one sitemap in this case).
- Familiarize yourself with our Webmaster Guidelines, and our SEO Starter Guide if you're considering hiring a consultant to help you optimize your sitemaps. It can also be useful to check with colleagues with similar sites or businesses to get the most of your sitemap.
Sitemap extensions (video, images, news ...)
As well as basic URL information, sitemaps can contain detailed information about specific types of content on your site, including video, images, mobile, and news content. You can indicate content types to using the namespaces in the table below. Depending on the content types listed in your sitemap, you should specify namespaces accordingly.
General URL |
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" |
Images |
xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" |
Video |
xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1" |
Mobile |
xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0" |
News |
Another example of an XML sitemap is as follows, with image and video information in addition to the single URL entry from the previous example. See the reference table below (sitemap tag definitions) for more details about the XML tags for URLs.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
<video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">
<video:title>Grilling steaks for summer</video:title>
Cook the perfect steak every time.
Sitemap tag definitions
The following table outlines all the tags required for sitemaps that list web URLs. To add more detailed information about specific content types, see video, images, mobile, and news.
Tag |
Required? |
Description |
<urlset> |
Required | Encloses all information about the set of URLs included in the sitemap. |
<url> |
Required | Encloses all information about a specific URL. |
<loc> |
Required | Specifies the URL. For images and video, specifies the landing page (aka play page). |
<lastmod> |
Optional | Shows the date the URL was last modified, in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD format (time value is optional). |
<changefreq> |
Optional | Provides a hint about how frequently the page is likely to change. Valid values are:
<priority> |
Optional | Describes the priority of a URL relative to all the other URLs on the site. This priority can range from 1.0 (extremely important) to 0.1 (not important at all). Note that the priority tag does not affect your site ranking in Google search results. Priority values are only considered relative to other pages on your site so, assigning a high priority (or specifying the same priority for all URLs) will not boost your entire site search ranking. |
In addition to the standard XML format, Google also accepts the following file types as sitemaps:
- RSS, mRSS, and Atom 1.0: If you have a blog with an RSS or Atom feed, you submit the feed's URL as a sitemap. Most blog software is able to create a feed for you, but recognize that this feed only provides information on recent URLs.
- Google accepts RSS (Real Simple Syndication) 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds.
- You can use an mRSS (media RSS) feed to provide Google details about video content on your site.
- Text file: For basic sitemaps that include only web page URLs, you can provide Google with a simple text file that contains one URL per line. For example:
http://www.example.com/file2.html- For best results, use the following guidelines for creating text file sitemaps:
- You must fully specify all URLs in your sitemap as Google attempts to crawl them exactly as you list them.
- Your text file must use UTF-8 encoding.
- Your text file should contain nothing but the list of URLs.
- You can name the text file anything you wish, provided it has a .txt extension (for instance, sitemap.txt).
- For best results, use the following guidelines for creating text file sitemaps:
Google Sites sitemap: If you've created and verified a site using Google Sites, we automatically generate a sitemap for you. You can then take this sitemap and submit it to Google Note, your sitemap might not be displayed properly if you have more than 1,000 pages in a single sub-directory.
If your site is hosted at Google Sites, and your site domain is located at the URL
for example, your sitemap URL ishttp://sites.google.com/site/yoursitename/system/feeds/sitemap
If you created your site using Google Apps, your sitemap URL is
Once you've made your sitemap, you can then submit it to Google with the Sitemaps page, or by inserting the following line anywhere in your robots.txt
Sitemap: http://example.com/sitemap_location.xml

Simple steps to detect and deter employee theft and fraud

Many small businesses share a common characteristic—an exposure to loss caused by employee theft and fraud. An employee theft can be a devastating loss to a small business. The business not only sustains the monetary loss associated with the misappropriation but also often loses a key employee or employees. In addition, it incurs substantial legal and accounting fees investigating and cleaning up the mess. Although insurance may provide some coverage, it will not compensate for all the damage sustained. The loss of employees and associated expenses are normally not insured. The best approach is for management to work aggressively to prevent the theft or embezzlement through internal controls and segregation of duties.
For small businesses, this can present a problem. Frequently, the trusty bookkeeper does it all. He or she opens the mail (including the monthly bank statements); reconciles the bank accounts; prepares company purchase orders; matches receiving reports to invoices; prepares, signs and releases checks; and inputs expenditures into the general ledger. Reliance on an outside accountant to detect irregularities by the bookkeeper is misplaced. Financial statement audits, reviews, compilations and tax return preparation services provided by a certified public accountant are not designed to detect fraud and irregularities and should not be relied on for that purpose.
To reduce the risk of internal fraud, management must take the initiative and demonstrate a commitment to ethical behavior by establishing a code of ethics and ensuring compliance with it. In addition, a small business can easily implement a few controls that will dramatically reduce the risk of loss:
Bank statements should be opened and reviewed by the primary check signer to ensure that only authorized checks have cleared the bank.
Bank accounts should be reconciled by an employee who has no involvement with the payment of bills and the deposit of revenues.
Purchase orders should be sequentially numbered and required for accounts payable disbursements.
Checks should be signed by an officer of the company only after a review of authorization for purchase and receipt of the goods or services.
Blank checks should be maintained under lock and key and sequentially controlled to prevent misuse.
Approved vendors should be added to the accounts payable system only after verification of propriety by an independent employee.
If employee embezzlement or fraud is suspected, it is imperative for the company to conduct a thorough and confidential investigation before making any allegations and/or terminating an employee. The investigation should be coordinated with legal counsel; the bonding company, if any; and the company's outside accountant.
To prevent disclosure of the investigation and its findings, legal counsel should conduct the investigation and/or retain a forensic accountant. If the forensic accountant is engaged through legal counsel, his or her reports will constitute work product and will be shielded from discovery.

A favorite slow cooker black bean chili, thickened with refried beans and flavored with lime and cilantro. |
One thing that can be frustrating about food blogging is that the greatest recipe in the world won't get much attention if the photo is bad, so I was happy to finally take new photos for this favorite slow cooker chili with lime and cilantro. The ultra flavorful chili includes a can of refried pinto beans as part of the base, which makes it extra thick, and I've been enjoying this the last few days with a dollop of low-fat sour cream on top. Lime and cilantro are two of my favorite ingredients, but if you're not a cilantro fan I'd replace it with thinly sliced green onions, and if you don't have a crockpot, just skip the step of reducing the beef stock, and you can make this in a regular pot on top of the stove. I hope lots of you will try this; it just might become your favorite easy chili recipe!
Put ground beef into the slow cooker with the onions.
When the beef stock has reduced by half, mix it with the can of refried beans.
Put the black beans into a colander in the sink and rinse well with cold water.
Crockpot Black Bean Chili with Lime and Cilantro
(Makes about 6 generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 tsp. olive oil + 2 tsp. more for browning meat if needed
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 quart beef stock, simmer to reduce to 2 cups (I used my homemade beef stock, but you can use two cans beef broth. Don't reduce for stovetop cooking.)
3 cans (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 oz.) refried pinto beans
2 cans (14.5 oz.) petite dice tomatoes
2 T dried cilantro
2 T chile powder (preferably New Mexico chile powder)
2 T Ancho chile powder (or 2 T more regular chile powder)
1 T ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice, plus sliced limes to squeeze into chili if desired
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish if desired
low-fat sour cream for serving if desired (optional)
While onions and beef are being cooked, put beef stock into saucepan and simmer until reduced to 2 cups. (Skip this step if cooking the chili on stovetop.) When stock is reduced, add refried beans and whisk to blend into stock, then add to crockpot.
While stock is reducing, place a colander in the sink and add canned black beans. Rinse beans well with cold water until no more foam appears. (This removes some of the salt from canned beans and makes them much more digestible.) Then add beans, stock-refried beans mixture, tomatoes, dried cilantro, chile powder, ancho chile powder, and ground cumin to crockpot. Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours, or until beans are soft and flavors are well blended. When chili is done, stir in lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro and let cook 15 minutes. Serve hot, with slices of lime and additional chopped cilantro to add as garnish if desired. I like this with a dollop of low-fat sour cream.
Cooking on the Stove:
For stove-top cooking, skip the step of reducing the beef broth, but follow all other directions, adding ingredients to large soup pot and simmering at low heat about an hour.

I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.
