My usual advice in these situations is: kill the AMD control panel with fire. Then with tactical nukes. Then try fire again.
IIRC the control panel defaults to implementing a Xinerama-based multimonitor solution, which is an ancient and mostly deprecated method for multiscreening. Why deprecated? Because it's slow, problematic and somewhat incompatible with compositing. It was ment for multiscreen solution with one gfx card per monitor, not for your setup. Try moving a window across multiple monitors, if you see each part of the window redraw separately, that's your problem.
If that's the case, undoing the mess the amd control panel did, then configuring a proper XRandR-based multiscreen setup would likely solve a lot of your problems.
Alas, unless you paste your xorg.conf, the output of xrandr and maybe a screenshot of the respective pages of the amd control panel, it's difficult to diagnose from afar. And it's very important to post a photo of your monitor setup, because I like to drool over such things

Guthrie, Royals looking to rebound against Indians
Right-hander deals for ninth victory against Kazmir in middle game
The Royals' offensive woes have showed up once again.
After winning five of eight games to start July, Kansas City has dropped three straight by a combined score of 19-5 and has failed to score in its last 16 innings, including Friday's 3-0 loss to the Indians in the series opener at Progressive Field.
After winning two of three from the Indians in the first series of the month, right-hander Jeremy Guthrie looks to help the Royals even this series at one game apiece when he faces Cleveland lefty Scott Kazmir on Saturday.
Guthrie endured rain delays in each of his previous two starts, but he's been the Royals' winningest starter with a career-best eight victories before the All-Star break. It's the second-highest first-half total by a Kansas City pitcher since 2004, when Zach Greinke won 10 games in 2009.
Guthrie was the Tribe's first-round pick in the 2002 First-Year Player Draft and he's 3-2 with a 5.72 ERA in eight games and six starts against them. He's 1-0 this season with a win on April 28 and a no-decision on July 3, when Jason Kipnis hit an inside-the-park home run and left fielder Alex Gordon was injured on the play.
Guthrie also worked around a two-hour, 47-minute rain delay before the game and an additional 12-minute delay when the lights went out at Kauffman Stadium. He held the Indians scoreless through the first five innings before losing momentum after the final delay -- finishing with five hits and five runs allowed in 6 1/3 innings.
Kazmir is holding steady in his first season back in the Major Leagues since 2010 -- going 4-0 in seven starts at home. The 29-year-old left-hander started his career with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2004 before he was sidelined by recurring injuries. He signed a Minor League deal with the Indians before the season with the chance to make the starting rotation. So far, he's shown he belongs there, going 4-4 with a 4.74 ERA.
"It's interesting because, the biggest thing -- and I said it from the first day of Spring Training -- was, would he be able to hold his stuff?" Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He came into spring and he looked really good. Ball came out of his hand so nice. And, to this point in the season, he's probably gotten stronger. And, that's exciting."
In his last start, Kazmir held the Tigers to two runs and four hits over 5 2/3 innings. He also had five strikeouts and three walks in a no-decision.
"He's the definition, and it's a good example, when you can pitch with your fastball and locate it, you can pitch in the big leagues with success," Francona said. "When you locate your fastball, you can have success. ... He's been pretty good. And, what's exciting is, he seems to be not only holding it, but getting better."
Royals: Chen excels in first start
Veteran lefty Bruce Chen pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit in his first start of the season on Friday -- a no-decision in the Royals' loss.
Chen issued one walk and logged four strikeouts -- throwing 97 pitches, 60 for strikes. He was 3-0 with a 2.41 ERA in 19 relief outings before joining the starting rotation, replacing right-hander Luis Mendoza, who is now in a long relief role.
Indians: Rotation setting the pace
Over the last six games, Cleveland starters have posted a 1.64 ERA, allowing just seven runs in 38 1/3 innings and holding opponents to a .171 average (20-for-108).
Indians starter Corey Kluber held the Royals scoreless for 7 2/3 innings on Friday, allowing just three hits. He also had three walks and eight strikeouts.
Worth noting
• Royals reliever Donnie Joseph recorded his first Major League strikeout against Jason Kipnis in Friday's 3-0 loss.
• Pinch-hitter Michael Bourn belted a two-run double to cap a decisive three-run seventh inning on Friday.

Is there a special oven mod you need to bake it on cold?JLP
Norma, that rim looks nice and puffy. I bet the crumb was powdery soft. Chau
Norma, I think you've been out in the cold too long!
Norma, I have never seen anyone hold a pizza peel that way before. You are so creative. Chau
I fear you may be a little flakey
Norma, thats too funny. I appreciate people like you who are a little outside the box, and not afraid to show it. On a crust coloration note, you may want to move away from the unmalted 00 flour to a standard american malted flour. If you add roughly 10% barley malt syrup to your next attempt you may have a more natural looking finished product. Did you get the idea of freezing the basil from the blais off season premiere? -marc
Norma,Those are great!That's A creative way to spend time with the extra snow you all are getting up there!Stay warm!
Norma,That's pretty cool! (pun intended) You just added the sculpturistic flair that this forum needed. And it brings a completely new meaning to a 'white' pizza.

In addition to Taylor's standard lineup of guitar models, we periodically craft special runs of limited edition guitars. These series allow us to offer our customers premium guitars with unique aesthetic appeal, and may be inspired by any number of circumstances, from the acquisition of a rare batch of striking tonewoods to special occasions like a Taylor anniversary or our annual tradition of Fall Limiteds. With each offering of LTDs we enjoy the freedom to design a model from scratch in a way that integrates the woods and appointments into a cohesive whole that gives each LTD series a truly unique identity. In some cases our limiteds embody our latest guitar-making ideas; in others they allow us to offer value-added models at an appealing price point. Always a showcase of our latest inspiration, Taylor limited editions give Taylor enthusiasts a chance to own a model of great distinction that only a select group of owners will share.
A pair of Tasmanian tonewoods, blackheart sassafras and blackwood, plus a trio of all-koa guitars, apply exotic island imprints on our fall 2014 limited editions. Rare blackheart sassafras 700s blend stunning visual beauty with a unique tone profile and premium voicing touches. Our blackwood/spruce 500s celebrate blackwood's deserving status as a staple tonewood and conjure a vintage vibe thanks to a shaded edgeburst body and neck. Hawaiian koa makes a special guest appearance on two appealing offerings: a pair of all-koa 300s equipped with our ES2 pickup, and a handsome all-koa GS Mini featuring our ES-T pickup.
Taylor's spring 2014 collection brings a husky-voiced mahogany-top baritone Dreadnought to the 300 Series, along with stage-friendly upgrades to the 400 Series, featuring an all-gloss body, the new Expression System® 2 pickup, and abalone dot inlays. The 400s are offered in four body styles, plus a 12-string.
The random discovery of a rare curly mahogany tree supplied the tonewood centerpiece of our 2013 Fall LTDs. Paired with European spruce, the striking wood inspired the design of a beautiful, wood-rich inlay scheme. Other seasonal specials include the warm pairing of rosewood and cedar on our 400 Series Fall Limiteds, along with a stage-friendly upgrade to our rosewood laminate 200s to feature an all-gloss body, full Expression System® electronics, and a hardshell case.
Our spring 2013 collection spotlights a pair of evocative tonewoods: sapwood-infused African ebony and exotic Central American granadillo. Each found its way to us through different circumstances, but all share an affinity for bell-like overtones. If you like to savor your tone, these models promise to bring your music into full bloom.
Three inspired wood pairings yield a trio of fresh acoustic voices on this batch of limiteds. Macassar ebony meets reclaimed sinker redwood on a pair of Presentation Series models; rare and visually stunning quilted sapele partners with European spruce; and Tasmanian blackwood with cedar make a special guest appearance together on the 400 Series.
Look for the Fall Limiteds at local Taylor dealers.
On the heels of refreshing the 2012 line, Bob Taylor and his design crew keep the creative juices flowing with an inspired batch of Spring Limited Editions. For this year's run, ever-popular cocobolo joins the 800 Series, exotic Hawaiian koa pays a rare visit to the 300 Series, an ovangkol baritone brings a unique voice to the 400 Series, and the GS Mini adds a triple-shot of fun with three premium laminate models.
A cache of dazzling AA-grade koa and an arresting batch of Mexican cocobolo proved to be the central design catalysts for our 2011 Fall Limiteds. Bonded by their bold visual complexions, both woods inspired the notion of a wood-rich appointment package, anchored by a new rosette and a pair of related fretboard inlays that together create a cohesive, organic aesthetic for each series. The koa and cocobolo LTDs offer something truly special to guitar enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty of sophisticated wood details.
Another rewarding aspect of designing the Fall LTDs is taking an existing series and putting a value-added spin on it, rewarding players with an extra splash of premium quality at a more accessible price point. This year Indian rosewood makes a guest appearance on the 400 Series, and a cedar top warms up the rosewood laminate Nylon Series.

One for the small but handy category this. The standard "more" link the views module adds to it's blocks has no place on a modern accessible website, you really need a more verbose link in there. One solution has always been to add a bit of footer or header text into the block, but it's a little tedious - and clients always find views hard to edit.
This simple solution will turn the block title into a link to the view, it goes into your template.php _phptemplate_variables function
if ($hook=='block'){
$block = $vars['block'];
if ($block->module == 'views'){
$view = views_get_view($block->delta);
if ($view->page && $view->url && $block->subject){
$link = l($block->subject,$view->url,array(),null,null,false,true);
$vars['block']->subject = $link;
[EDIT] - as per comments below, the above is Drupal 5.x only - the principle could be applied in 6.x using a preprocess hook (either in your template.php or in a simple module)
Definetly a useability improvement for any site, good thinking!
My only doubt here is.. aren't you loading the view twice with this solution? I haven't gone ahead and tried to see what is in $vars for such a block though, so I don't know if there's a better way to tackle this. Either way, something to keep in mind, thanks!
Luckily views_get_view uses a static variable to cache previously loaded views, so there is no performance hit from calling it twice ...
In 6.x, _phptemplate_callback() is no longer supported. It has been rolled in to the main theme() function. As long as the function is registered as a template, the template file will be used. _phptemplate_variables() has also been deprecated.
Someone has an example how to make this work in 6.x?
For 6.x it should probably be done in a preprocess hook.
See http://drupal.org/theme-guide for details on those. Also, the Views theme information link and the "Theme Developer" (from Devel module) should help.
Sorry - yup, should have said this is 5.x only (I will edit the origional post now) - same thing should work for 6 but you would use a preprocess function, which also means you can pop it in a module and share it between projects more easily (I love those Drupal 6 preprocess functions!)
I'd appreciate if anyone could give me an example how to do this in drupal 6.
You can do this with a preprocess function like this:
function example_preprocess_block(&$vars) {
if (isset($vars['block']->module) && ($vars['block']->module == 'views')) {
list($name, $display_id) = explode('-', $vars['block']->delta);
if ($view = views_get_view($name)) {
if ($view->access('page_1')) {
$vars['block']->subject = l($vars['block']->subject, $view->get_url());
This will only ever link each view to the first page handler you specify for the view, a bit limited I know, but something that can be solved with a display plugin...which I write in a minute or two.
Or a few more minutes than that...Views 2: Making a drupal views block title link back to the view
I'm using drupal 5 and I have a zen sub theme called 'nva'.
I'm pasting
function nva_phptemplate_variables(&$vars, $hook) {
if ($hook=='block'){
$block = $vars['block'];
if ($block->module == 'views'){
$view = views_get_view($block->delta);
if ($view->page && $view->url && $block->subject){
$link = l($block->subject,$view->url,array(),null,null,false,true);
$vars['block']->subject = $link;
into my subthemes template.php and the block titles are not working...
I definitely have page views of the blocks.
I'm not a programmer - yet - but kind of an infant at this stuff so its probably something simple. I'd love to have this feature, so would be grateful for any pointers.
i figured it out, I hadn't read it but in my subthemes template.php it says
For a sub-theme to add its own variables, instead of _phptemplate_variables,
* use these functions:
* nva_preprocess_page(&$vars) to add variables to the page.tpl.php
* nva_preprocess_node(&$vars) to add variables to the node.tpl.php
* nva_preprocess_comment(&$vars) to add variables to the comment.tpl.php
* nva_preprocess_block(&$vars) to add variables to the block.tpl.php
so I tried the block one, it didn't work so I put the code in Main theme template.php and it works!
Thanks for the code!
Hey there, this is way awesome and thank you so much for posting these useful findings. One thing that wouldn't hurt to mention in the pages description somewhere is that the view must have both a block view (naturally) as well as a page view (also naturally) but specifically mentioning to make sure to include a page view might help some people, as this was an issue we experienced at first. I know it only makes sense, but when you see a block view with a more link you might forget that it doesn't have a page view and isn't really linking to anything.
So, this works excellent when blocks are placed within normal regions around the site. However, we are unable to get it to work while these blocks are located within a Panels page (http://drupal.org/project/panels). The Panels module displays blocks in an organized and customizable fashion, kinda like creating regions on the fly without using actual regions.
We are assuming that this is hook related or something thats somehow negated on Panels end. But none the less we are not able to figure it out and was curious if anyone might have some insight on a resolution.
Thanks so much.
nice share brotha, I strongly believe this article highly anticipated by our blogger friends including me

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is among the healthiest, most versatile dietary oils in the world. An excellent cooking oil with its natural coconut flavor and aroma, we think it is simply the best tasting, most aromatic coconut oil on the planet.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat that is naturally free from trans-fatty acids. It contains medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have a shorter chain length than most animal derived long-chain saturated fatty acids. Consumption of coconut oil at recommended levels, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps maintain already healthy levels of cholesterol. Unlike refined coconut oils, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods farmers have used for centuries. Meat from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to create coconut milk, and then fermented to extract the oil.
Suggested Use
May safely consume between 1-4 tablespoons per day. Use in cooking, frying, baking or in smoothies. Can be used in place of other oils including butter.
Other Ingredients
100% organic expeller pressed Philippine coconut oil
Note: If stored below 76°F oil will solidify.
If exposed to temperatures above 76° F oil will liquify.
Does not require refrigeration.

I found that this barely detectible coconut scent and taste. I liked the scent and taste of Nutiva much better.
I tried this because of the glass jar. I am disappointed in the lack of taste and fragrance. I usually like raw living food. I will not buy this brand of coconut oil again.

Comments about RAINBOW Men's Premier Leather Flip-Flops, Expresso:
I just came back from three & a half weeks in Exuma,The Bahamas, and I needed a new pair of "flops" as I call them. They arrived two day before I departed for my trip. I had no time to break them in, but that was a breeze. I walked everywhere and took them fishing, free-diving, paddle-boarding & sailing and they float...which is wicked cool. Limestone rocks in the Bahamas are crazy sharp and my feet, were protected & super comfortable. Now go get a pair :-)

First Look: The Comics Journal #302 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under The Comics Journal, maurice fucking sendak, Kim Thompson, Jacques Tardi, Gary Groth, Coming Attractions | 10 Dec 2012 6:04 PM |
Behold, the new issue of The Comics Journal, an edition so awesome we made it a flip-book with TWO cover features: Gary Groth's newsmaking interview with the late Maurice Sendak on one side, and Kim Thompson's interview with Jacques Tardi on the other side. (To clarify, there aren't two separate covers; every copy has both covers and which one's the "front" depends on which way you turn it.) And there's a whooole lotta stuff in between. Look for excerpts to be posted on TCJ.com as the release date nears (early February being our current best guess). TCJ sets the agenda for intelligent comics conversation, so pre-order your copy today and don't get left behind.

Same problem for me.
Just installed the SDK and following the instruction after the sencha command it return this error.
24 Aug 2012 6:10 AM #32
Problem Solved
Hi, we have to include the sencha sdk in the /etc/paths.
Code:sudo vi /etc/paths
Then, in the terminal, navigate to your project folder, and from there, call the command.
Worked fine for me.
Best regards.
11 Sep 2012 9:49 AM #33
simple fix for the problem...
System: OS X Lion 10.7.2
Installed Sencha SDK Tools in (/Application/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3)
Download and Unzip Sencha Touch 126.96.36.199 to your webserver's localhost folder.
then you can use the "sencha" command in terminal. (close all terminal windows and re-open to apply changes in .bash_profile path additions)
by typing "sencha" in command line should show similar output as below:
Screen Shot 2012-09-12 at 1.32.47 AM.png
if similar output, then sencha SDK Tools working properly.
for easy access, extract the Sencha Touch 2 (sencha-touch-22.214.171.124-gpl.zip - as of writing) to your webserver's localhost. Sencha SDK Tools verify a valid sencha SDK if it finds the .senchasdk file. see image below:
Screen Shot 2012-09-12 at 1.40.38 AM.png
i keep my sencha touch SDK inside (/Users/my_name/Sites/sencha) then my projects inside that folder. so i create sencha touch projects using command line:
sencha generate app app_name ./app_folder
then that's it. so accessing it to my browser is easy as 123.
(I'm using virtual-host configuration on my XAMPP local server)

SDK Tools should not be used with 2.1.0, Sencha Cmd should. The blog has links to Cmd.

starte guide needs an update
I ran in exactly the same issue.
Sencha Touch SDK Tools are not compatible to the Sencha Touch SDK in Version 2.1
Sencha CMD is working fine.
The starter Guide needs to be updated.
19 Nov 2012 5:06 AM #37
Guides are out of date. Doesn't work at all on windows.
Downloaded, extracted and tried 'sencha' giving me the lovely SDK not found error.
Please update the guides.
And also, please make a distinction between SDK and SDK Tools, because you're not always clear with what you mean. Explain that Sencha Touch IS actually the SDK. If I read the docs from my local webserver, it tells me to go download Sencha Touch SDK which translates for me in something additional I have to download, while I already got the SDK since I'm reading the docs from it. It's just a headache right now for everyone to figure out.
19 Nov 2012 3:13 PM #38
Correct on the Touch 2.0 guide - we need a 2.1 version for sure.
The new guides are here:
There is an issue with http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command_app in that it references "sencha app create" but that alias for "sencha generate app" was dropped in v3. The first linked guide has the generate app call correct.
This doc fix has been merged but not staged/deployed yet so it should be fixed soon.Don Griffin
Director of Engineering - Frameworks (Ext JS / Sencha Touch)
Check the docs. Learn how to (properly) report a framework issue and a Sencha Cmd issue
"Use the source, Luke!"
26 Nov 2012 7:43 AM #39
Completely agreed. I've just downloaded Sencha 2.1 commercial, and it only works with Sencha CMD.
But the starter guide at http://www.sencha.com/learn/getting-...encha-touch-2/ misleads me to download Sencha SDK Tools. Here's the part that needs update:
Things you'll need
First, you'll need to download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website.
Appreciate if someone could update this asap to avoid frustrations for new users. Thanks

What worked for me on Mac (sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial)
Installing sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial
On Mac OS X, version 10.7.5
1) Install Git:
2) Which lets you install Ruby via RVM (https://rvm.io/rvm/install/):
$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
3) Which lets you install Compass (http://compass-style.org/install/)
1. $ gem update --system
2. $ gem install compass
4) Which is required for Sencha Cmd (SenchaCmd-220.127.116.11-osx.app)
Reference: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command
Just use the defaults.
5) Which lets you install Sencha Touch 2.0 (sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial)
Reference: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command
Install into your ~/Sites for http://localhost/~<username>,

Wet 2 Shine Brush Duo Kit Pink
The "Wet" BrushSarahMinnesotaHairAuburnNormal HairFine or Thin HairDoes Not Rip My HairI was able to brush out my wet hair without taking clumps out or hurting myself. Also good on dry hair, especially at the end of the day. Feels good on the scalp, does not scratch. My hair is fine-textured and tends to snarl and tangle on itself easily. This brush was helpful.posted Sep 11, 2014Link to this post
Wet 2 Shine Brush Duo Kit PinkKathleenUnited StatesHairMedium BrownNormal HairOily HairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairGreat For Fine And Thick Hair!I have thin straight hair and my daughter has thick wavy hair - these brushes are fantastic for both of us!
The Wet Brush for wet hair smoothly brushes through even my 17yr old daughter's thick wavy mane (almost to her butt) with no tangling, pulling or breaking the brush. For my thinner hair, it makes it easy to get ready to style with one brush through.
The companion Shine Brush is just that. I don't know how it works, but brushing with it, pumps the shine value on both of our heads. Great finishing brush after styling, or when you want your hair to look fresh and neat. Again, on my kid's hair, it is truly miraculous. I can't tell you how many brushes she has broken or bristles fall out trying to go thru her hair.
Great price and worth it! This was one of my first purchases from Folica, and their service was great as well.posted Apr 28, 2014Link to this post -
The "Wet" BrushKelly F.South CarolinaHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThe "made A Believer Out Of Me" BrushIf ever there was someone who had curly hair that believed a brush was a no-no for curls.....it's me. I read the reviews and thought I'd take a chance on this brush. One of the better decisions I've made for my curls.
This brush is excellent for distributing conditioner and detangling. I would have never thought I'd keep it let alone buy it! It works better for me than my seamless comb.
I have very long curly hair. It's thick and when humidity is on the rise, my hair can be frizzy and feel like it weighs a ton. Deep conditioning it and distributing the conditioner with this brush is a dream come true. Not only does it glides through my hair, there is no pulling, snagging of hairs or breakage.
If you are on the fence about this brush, don't hesitate buying it. Well worth the money!
If you are a curly head, this is one of the reviews that you look for having positive things to say about a product.

The "Wet" BrushCyndiHairAuburnOily HairThick or Coarse HairWorks For Thick Hair!This brush is definitely better than I was expecting it to be! My hair is thick, long and naturally straight, it is technically "coarse" but it feels very silky.
Main concern is that some brushes don't fully reach through to my scalp... this one does! I don't particularly understand why it is supposedly better for wet hair, but it's a nice brush. The bristles are very thin, but firm/stiff enough to reach my scalp, but I do find the tips are not as padded as other similar bristled brushes... I find it to be a little bit scratchy, but I would probably buy it again. The pink color is accurate and more red than I would have liked, I wish I had bought the purple.

It's about halfway down her back. We had lots of tears when it came to combing it out after bathing. This brush has been great for her!! She keeps it in her shower & we run it through her hair right after she rinses. The bristles are very thin & flexible so it doesn't pull or catch hairs. We do laugh, however, that it smells like camp-fire smoke... maybe just because it's new & has been packaged. Kind of funny!posted Feb 21, 2013Link to this post

File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nationals host the Astros today at Space Coast Stadium.
After getting two-hit by the Braves yesterday, the Nationals have a few more regulars in the lineup for this afternoon's game against the Astros. And for the first time this spring, they've got Adam LaRoche at first base. His sore shoulder apparently no longer a significant issue, LaRoche has been cleared to play the field. (If you missed it earlier, I wrote a full feature on the Nats' new first baseman today for CSNwashington.com.)
Another intriguing pitcher takes the mound for this one: Yunesky Maya. The Cuban right-hander has looked sharp all spring and now gets his first chance to start a Grapefruit League game. (John Lannan, whose regular turn is today, is pitching in a minor-league intrasquad game.) Like Ross Detwiler, who was fantastic yesterday, Maya is trying to parlay a strong spring into a spot in the Nationals' Opening Day rotation. Whether there's actually a spot for him on March 31 remains to be seen.
No TV broadcast today, but Charlie and Dave can be heard on 1580 AM. Enjoy the game…

CF Roger Bernadina
2B Danny Espinosa
DH Jayson Werth
3B Ryan Zimmerman
- Sunderland - Mar 7, 2011 at 6:18 PM
Bernadina is out to prove he can play CF and hit leadoff. Opens the bottom of the first with a bunt single, then steals second.
- Steve M. - Mar 7, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Sunderland, I have no doubts about Bernie playing CF and I would rather see him there then as a corner OF position trying to show he has corner OF power. If he can play small ball and get on base and use that speed and score in front of Werth and Zim then this is how you blueprint it. Of course when Bernie got to 3rd on the wild pitch, Werth wasn't supposed to strikeout in the blueprint, but seriously, this is what this team needs at the leadoff. JUST GET ON BASE!
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 6:26 PM
I think thats his 3rd bunt hit of the Spring is it not? And I know he's stolen a couple bases on top of today.
- estoppel.08 - Mar 7, 2011 at 6:41 PM
4 hits in 2 innings, including HR by Bourn (who hit only 2 HRs in 605 PA last season). Isn't Maya sharp?

- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 7:19 PM
I have been expounding Bernadina as our CF lead off guy since discussing his abilities with Rick Eckstein back in December. There is another guy acting as a bench coach in Spring Training that is promoting Bernadina as well. Hopefully he will prevail and our suffering with Nyjer Morgan will finally be over.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 7:23 PM
NatsJack, If Bernadina can keep taking walks and getting on base to something like .330 or .340 then I,m with you 100%.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 7:46 PM
And, hopefully, this will be our last Garrett Mock sighting.
- MGG - Mar 7, 2011 at 7:49 PM
It HAS to be! Mock can no longer be part of this organization he just doesn't fit in with the new winning Nats.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 7:53 PM
There is no danger of Mock making the team. I think when the starters begin to pitch 5 or 6 innings there will no longer be a need for Martin, Mock et.al; in the meantime we can be content in the knowledge that the damage they are causing is meaningless.
- MGG - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:02 PM
Does anyone have data on Werth's spring training numbers? His AVG isn't so good right now and I was wondering if shes just not good in spring training or if hes just kinda mailing it in until the season starts.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:06 PM
I don't want him (Mock) taking up a spot in Syracuse or anywhere else in the organization.

It's MY SEASON TICKETS! They are apparently taking the UPS scenic route but should be here tomorrow!
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:26 PM
He's 28 yo and still can't consistently throw strikes. Today was a perfect example. Walk, walk, three run homer. There is nothing in his recorded history that indicates that he can pitch once they turn the lights on. He's remarkable in bull pen sessions, but nothing when the action goes live.
- SCNatsFan - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:34 PM
I'm going to say it again… why is it such a given that Storen has a roster spot?

Navy Nats Fan said… "It's MY SEASON TICKETS! They are apparently taking the UPS scenic route but should be here tomorrow!"When were they sent out? For installment people, they were scheduled to start shipping on the first. Others, today.However, that doesn't look like UPS 2-day.
- MGG - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:38 PM
@SCNatsFan It shouldn't be, he should be in competition just like everyone else with the exception of a few players (zimmeran, werth, maybe laroche). The bullpen is crowded or so I hear, but I think Storen will bounce back. Maybe he shouldn't be going to school in the offseason?
- N. Cognito - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:44 PM
The most important question in Spring Training is "why.""What" is vastly overrated.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:46 PM
At this stage of his career, Storen ISN'T guaranteed a spot in the bull pen. That's the beautiful thing about having quality young arms with options. We will have a very good pen with or without Storen
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 8:56 PM
I don't buy it NatsJack, I don't see any way Storen isn't on the opening day roster. I am completely unconcerned about his current struggles; he has some history of success to fall back on so what I,m saying is that we know who he is and that's pretty good.
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:05 PM
As much as I wanted to be after hearing all the hype, I wasn't very impressed with Storen last year and certainly not this Spring. He's been treated like the golden child and I hope he doesn't get a spot by default of the execs trying to justify their drafting expertise. He doesn't look like a big league closer or throw like a closer. He's a nibbler and doesn't throw the ball past too many big league hitters with his fastball. A lot like the average pitchers Rizzo has trying to graduate out of…
- Navy Nats Fan - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:08 PM
My tickets left Fort Smith on the 4th of March. My guess is they use Weldon, Williams and Lick, Inc (just in case you're bored). I now return you to your regularly scheduled discusion of Mock vs Storen, etc…
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:10 PM
JD..What history does Storen have to fall back on? I'd say from his performance in the Majors so far not much… He might be "smart" and "crafty" and that'll work in college and the minors but I think we're all trying to talk ourselves into the fact that he has an elite big league arm or stuff. I don't see it.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:10 PM
Anon @ 4:05, You are so wrong. He throws consistently at 94 MPH with a good breaking ball. He was a rookie last year still learning and having very good success along the way. How many rookies close in the majors? How many teams would line up to go after him if he was put on the block? 29? 30?
- Feel Wood - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:11 PM
Storen had one good year – actually not even a whole year – last year, and now you want to automatically grant him a job just because of that? How is that any different than automatically granting Nyjer Morgan a job last year on account of his half a good year in 2009?
- Feel Wood - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:17 PM
"How many teams would line up to go after him if he was put on the block? 29? 30?"They don't have to put him on the block. He has options left. They can just send him to Syracuse or Harrisburg to work out his demons – like they did with Lannan last year.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:19 PM
Anon @ 4:10, Read this article in fangraphs about rising young bullpen arms:http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/ninth-inning-arms-on-the-rise/ I don't know where you get 'crafty' from. He is a young power pitcher still learning his craft not a junkball soft tosser as you imply.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:21 PM
Feel Wood, What demons? 2 bad ST outings?
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:22 PM
That's exactly what I meant and said. It's great to have young arms with options.Drew has been working on a curve that breaks more than his "slurve" and it's been getting belted. He gets the first one by a guy for a strike but the next one they see they smash. I've seen it happen 5 times in his two outings before today. (Not there today so I don't know what they hit)
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:25 PM
NatsJack, Isn't that what spring training is for? working on new pitches? That's the beauty of it; if it get's smashed it doesn't matter; it doesn't cost your team a game that counts and you maybe you perfect another pitch for your repertoire.
- Feel Wood - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:26 PM
"JD said… Feel Wood,What demons? 2 bad ST outings?"So far. If it continues, they may need to send him down. That's all.
- Theophilus - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:31 PM
Re: StorenThis is a point on which Dibble was rightly frustrated: too many Nats pitchers, especially relievers, in love with their curve balls. The big jug-handled curve ball, once you've seen it, is easy to time — the batter knows exactly where it's going to be and when it is going to get there. Recognizing the story about Storen being victimized by Werth on a ninth-pitch fastball last year, the problem wasn't the fastball it was the location. As NatsJack says, one curveball per batter is enough — maybe one curveball per inning, maybe.
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:36 PM
JD…You may say he's a power pitcher but it doesn't pass the eyeball test to me. He rarely threw that fastball past anyone. He was good a few outings when his slider was working, but by the end of the season he was pretty scared to challenge anyone with a fastball anywhere over the plate and was getting hit regularly. The gun may say 92 or 94 but it is one of those fastballs that the hitters see very well. Luis Atilano gets it up to 94 mph occaisionally too and right now that's who Storen reminds me of in body type and stuff.

Storen is the real deal. He will have a long career. As long as JD doesn't become manager it will be with the Nats.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:50 PM
And JD… I'm not bashing Storen here, merely stating what I've seen and what I know. We have two rule 5 guys we are reluctant to give back (Broderick and Ramirez) so some really tough decisions need to be made. So if there is someone not quite ready and he has several options, he is not guaranteed a spot in the bullpen. Burnett and Clippard are probably givens at this stage. Everyone else is competing for a job.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:58 PM
Anon @ 4:36, I can't argue something as subjective as 'eyeball test' what I can tell you is that he had 9 k's per 9 innings; the league batted .232 against him; he threw 60% fastballs, 28% sliders 10% curve balls and 1% change ups. I think he threw a bunch of fast balls past hitters and the numbers say he wasn't hit regularly as you allege. And pleas; don't compare Storen to Atilano; that's ridiculous. I think he did real well for a 22 year old who started the year in AA
- Anonymous8 - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:58 PM
Steve M. said… What a horrible performance by Storen. That is back to back sub-par appearances and both while facing AAA and AA guys. March 4, 2011 3:36 PM When Steve says something like he did on Friday, I listen to him as he is usually very spot on. I just spoke to a buddy who was a former Minor Leaguer and is leaving Viera today and he said Storen looked like he was missing his spots and not fooling anyone. Again, 95MPH without movement isn't going to fool a true MLBer and apparently not too many AAA players.IMO, Storen is young and needs to build up his confidence but I could see him re-starting himself in AAA if he can't get himself right in Spring Training. With that said, there is still 3 weeks left for him to get himself right.Werth has some work also to get his timing right. Bixler is having a good Spring and Harper came up big today as well as Cora, Espinosa and Bernadina.
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 9:59 PM
I think Storen was rushed to the big leagues and quite honestly is not a big league pitcher at this point in time. He needed more time in the minors to begin with.
- JD - Mar 7, 2011 at 10:02 PM
NatsJack, I know you are not bashing Storen; you know too much about Baseball but Anon or Anons got my blood boiling when they started calling him 'crafty' and comparing him to Atilano.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 7, 2011 at 10:08 PM
I agree on the "crafty" part. And I,too, found it humorous to see Storen and Atilano in the same comparison.
- SonnyG10 - Mar 7, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Well I'm optimistic on Drew Storen. I think he's going to be a good reliever for us. If he gets beat out this spring and goes to Syracuse for a while, so be it. I'm also still optimistic on Ross Detwiler, though the same may happen with him.
- SonnyG10 - Mar 7, 2011 at 10:33 PM
I wonder if Storen was brought up early, in part, to send a message to the other draftees that if you sign early, you may be rewarded with a call up to the majors earlier.
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2011 at 10:59 PM
Storen could get pushed by both Ramirez and HRod. Both Kimball and Carr are also having good springs? And don't look now but so is Athaulapo Severino. Sending Storen to Syracuse to be their closer is a nice problem to have for the Nats.

- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 2:46 AM
Any thoughts on what the Nats could get??The Astros are looking into Jesus Flores.The Astros lost young catcher Jason Castro to season-ending knee surgery last week and need asomeone to pair with Humberto Quintero or J.R. Towles behind the plate. Flores has battled shoulder injuries for the last couple years, but his offensive production has been solid when healthy. He could net the Nats something.
- BinM - Mar 8, 2011 at 2:52 AM
Late coming in on the debate, but it seems to me that Storen neglected his off-season throwing regimen while at Stanford; Thus, he's well behind the other pitchers in camp. He'll get another week or two, but could be looking at being optioned late in ST if he can't find his secondary pitches. Mock, IMO is a "dead man walking" on this roster – He's 28, still doesn't trust his delivery, and as a result he can't throw strikes consistently. Hitters are either taking, or laying back on that 93-96 fastball (with no movement) & killing it when he throws it.

Re: Anon@9:46p.m. and Flores — Not sure what they could get for Flores but they should be looking for a good High-A or AA CF prospect who would be major-league ready w/in two years. (Plan B if Perez doesn't work out.)

Think they should hold Flores until he is proven healthy. Ramos makes more sense if they want to trade today.
- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 8:26 AM
Agreed. Flores value is extremely low. Houston would either want Ramos or Pudge Rodriguez. My guess would be that Pudge would not go to Houston, and it would be a mistake to move Ramos at this point.Derrick Norris is close to the Big Leagues he is a year to 2 years away defensively. His bat is ready now. Flores' bat is at least a few monthsaway. There's no deal here for Rizzo to make … yet.

I am not willing to give him this time at the MLB level…This team must win now if they expect any hope of signing the needed FA's this winter to compete for the Division over the next few years.

Hi everyone,when folks refer to a player as 'having an option' or not, where can I find that information? Is there a website you recommend?
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 8, 2011 at 12:47 PM
Jeff L…. from Wikipedia…..[edit] Options.. If a player is on the 40-man roster but not on the active major league roster, he is said to be on optional assignment—his organization may freely move him between the major league club and the minor league club. If a player is on the 40-man roster and not the active 25 man roster for any part of more than three seasons (in which he spent 20 or more total days of service in the minors), he is out of options and may not be assigned to the minors without first clearing waivers. However, if a player has less than 5 years of professional experience, he may be optioned to the minors in a fourth season without being subject to waivers. If a major league player is ineligible for free agency and "has options" remaining, his team may option him to a minor league team without consequence. This is usually what is meant when players are "sent down" to the minors. Likewise, when a player on the 40-man roster is added to the active major league roster, he is "called up" to the majors.It all has to do with years of professional service…and time on the 40 man roster..

"My guess would be that Pudge would not go to Houston"Unless he has a no-trade clause in his contract (which is unlikely, since Kasten was adamantly opposed to them) he wouldn't have a choice in the matter. If he gets traded somewhere, he either goes or he retires.

Overnight to Sparky, re: Corey Brown:I don't think anyone knows what the Nats have in Corey Brown. Right now the position (including pitching) of greatest weakness is CF. So the Nats should stockpile there (and hope they end up as deep as they are at C).To Jay B: There isn't much point to sending Morgan to Syracuse in the expectation that he will come back and win games to attract FAs. The FA they need most is a CF/lead-off guy. If Morgan doesn't help you win games now, get rid of him. Send Flores to the Astros and, in exchange, make them take Morgan off our hands. Based on WaPo story, they are trying to do a complete psychological re-build on Morgan. Not only is that unlikely to be successful, the diagnosis — if everything in the article is true — is way overdue. They should have figured that out a year ago.

Yanks target split behind Jeter, Pettitte
Steady Santana can secure series win for visiting Kansas City
The Yankees will get their captain back for Thursday's series finale against the Royals.
General manager Brian Cashman confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com that shortstop Derek Jeter will return to the lineup for the first time this season after playing four Minor League games on a rehab assignment.
Jeter has missed the entire season while recovering from a broken ankle. He said Wednesday that he felt he was ready to return to big league action, though he admitted he thought the same six months ago, before it was realized his ankle had not healed properly.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to get back as soon as I can," Jeter said.
Jeter will join a Yankees lineup that had been scuffling prior to Wednesday's 8-1 victory, which snapped a three-game skid. New York entered the tilt having scored just one run in three consecutive games.
With Andy Pettitte on the mound on Thursday afternoon, New York will try to earn a split of the four-game set at Yankee Stadium.
Since Sept. 4, 2000, Pettitte is undefeated in 14 starts against the Royals, going 10-0 with a 3.43 ERA. In 25 career games (23 starts) against Kansas City, the veteran left-hander is 15-3 with a 3.40 ERA. He will face Ervin Santana, who is 5-7 in 15 regular-season starts against the Yankees and lost to the Bronx Bombers earlier this season in Kansas City.
Santana, 5-5 with a 2.90 ERA this season, has pitched well of late but received four straight no-decisions. He has pitched at least six innings in all 17 starts this season, putting together the longest active stretch in the Major Leagues.
Santana took a no-decision in his last start, against the A's on Saturday, working seven innings and allowing three runs on seven hits, including a sixth-inning home run to Josh Donaldson.
"Ervin was great -- he really threw the ball well," Royals manager Ned Yost said after that start. "He gave up the home run to Donaldson, but besides that, I thought he threw great."
Santana will likely be wary of Robinson Cano, who hit a homer against him on May 12 and already has hit two this series.
The Royals missed their latest chance to reach .500 with Wednesday's loss, but they're positive about their chances to get there before next week's All-Star break.
"I think we've made the statement that we can play with anybody and be competitive," designated hitter Billy Butler said. "We just need to stay consistent and keep it going."
One year ago, the Royals were 12 games under .500 after 88 games, and their overhauled starting rotation has been a big part of this season's success.
Having acquired Wade Davis and James Shields from the Tampa Bay Rays and Santana from the Los Angeles Angels during the offseason, the Royals have posted the second-best ERA in the American League.
"The work ethic, the winning attitude that [Davis, Shields and Santana] bring into the clubhouse, [our hitters] want to bend over backward to score runs for them," Yost said. "They're doing everything they can, and earlier in the season, they put more pressure on themselves to produce than they needed to. Now, we're at a point where they've backed off. They know what a good swing feels like, and they're much more confident and more comfortable at the plate."
Royals: Coleman throws scoreless eighth
Royals right-handed reliever Louis Coleman entered in the eighth inning on Wednesday and struck out the side.
Coleman was recalled from Triple-A Omaha before the series and made his first appearance on Wednesday night. This is his second stint with the Royals after making four appearances in late May.
With Omaha, Coleman went 3-2 with a 1.61 ERA and six saves over 44 2/3 innings. He was named to the Pacific Coast League All-Star team on July 2.
Yankees: Overbay comes through
First baseman Lyle Overbay hit a grand slam off Wade Davis in the sixth inning of Wednesday's win. It was his second homer of the series and just the second slam for the team this season.
Overbay went 1-for-4 with a strikeout and two groundouts. He is batting .244 for the season with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs through 81 games.
Worth noting
• Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain recorded his sixth outfield assist of the season on Wednesday, throwing out Cano at third after a seventh-inning double.
• Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer has three doubles in the series and 17 on the year.
• The Yankees are now 29-1 this season when scoring at least five runs.

Striped OTK Toe Socks
They go high enough that they should go over most knees & will stretch to about 17 inches around comfortably.
Label says these fit 4-11 UK and 35-46 EUR, or as small as a US women's shoe size size 5 to as large as a US men's shoe size 11.5 (women's size 13).
Our testers have found these run a little larger than the label would imply, so shoe sizes under a US women's 7 might need to wash and dry on warm settings to get a better fit.
The Black & White, the Black & Grey and the Black & Turquoise & Periwinkle have solid toes and a wider cuff than the other styles, see extra images for a straight product shot that shows this change.
These have formed heels. 20" from heel to cuff, unstretched. They have the perfect amount of elastane to make sure the fabric will take the shape of any feet. Also makes it easy to put on. Completely seamless with formed heels.
Additional Info: Image for the Purple & Orange & Gold supplied by ToeToe.
Made in Turkey, ToeToe uses mostly automated manufacturing and maintains modern workplaces for their employees.
Fiber Content: 90% cotton, 10% elastane.
The Black & White, the Black & Grey and the Black & Turquoise & Periwinkle are 78% cotton, 16% nylon, 6% elastane.
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
Label: ToeToe
How long are these socks? I'm trying to understand how far over the knee they will go.
How far does the Top of the sock stretch?
any idea when the Black and Purple version will be restocked?
Hello! I was wondering when your black and grey striped knee high socks will be back in stock? I really need them for Halloween and you guys are the only ones who have the exact kind I need!
I cannot possibly express the sheer force of my utter delight that your Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs (Striped and Solid versions) actually go up to my thighs on my fairly long and very curvy legs. I own four pairs of that particular style now, and plan on purchasing more!

High-flying Lehigh will be a test for UNH
Many college football teams will have played five games by the time Saturday is over.
The University of New Hampshire is a bit behind. The Wildcats did not play the first weekend of the season and then were off last week.
UNH must slow down Lehigh senior quarterback Brandon Bialkowski, who had not thrown a pass before this season, and his high-powered offense this afternoon.
Bialkowski has completed 84 of his 125 passes for 1,171 yards and has thrown nine touchdown passes and been intercepted four times.
The Mountain Hawks are also giving up 500.3 yards of offense a game.
The Wildcats get a few players back from injury, thanks in part to having last week off.
Andy Vailas, the junior quarterback out of Bedford and Bishop Guertin High School in Nashua, has completed 34 of his 51 passes (64.2 percent) for 369 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown one interception.
