rock bowling is something that certain people do when there's absolutely nothing else to do. It involves driving to a place where you can find a cliff, finding big rocks and rolling them off the cliff. It is most enjoyable when there are good friends around to enjoy it with you
Noah: I'm bored, what do you wanna do?
Keiko: Ummmm, let's go rock bowling!
Noah: Neat!

The San Fierro Triads are large gangs originating from Hong Kong, who have since moved to San Fierro. There are three Triad factions in San Fierro consisting of a set hierarchy with small sets answering to larger sets; the Blood Feather Triad, which would later be slaughtered by their rivals, the Da Nang Boys; the Red Gecko Tong, which is led by Ran Fa Li; and the Mountain Cloud Boys (山雲男孩). The most prominent gang in the group, the Mountain Cloud Boys, is operated by the blind Wu Zi Mu and answers to the Red Gecko Tong.
The sets of the Triads are heavily involved in joint operations. The Mountain Cloud Boys establish an alliance with the Red Gecko Tong. The SF Triads are also allied with the Grove Street Families, and are having problems with the Mafia (Leone Family, Forelli Family, Sindacco Family), and are enemies with the Da Nang Boys.
In addition to their bases of operations in San Fierro, the Triads also own and operate a casino hotel venture called The Four Dragons Casino on the southern tip of The Strip in Las Venturas; ownership is shared between Wu Zi Mu, Ran Fa Li and Carl Johnson. Because of intense Mafia pressure in the city, the Triads attempted to flex their muscles to show the Mafia that they can hold their own casino on The Strip. While the Triad's prime business is gambling, Wu Zi Mu has shown motivations towards robbery and street racing
Carl Johnson, having been exiled from Los Santos after the fall of the Grove Street Families, works for Wu Zi Mu's faction and helps them destroy the Loco Syndicate and neutralize the Da Nang Boys. In return the Triads aid Carl in robbing Caligula's Palace, give him a share in The Four Dragons Casino, and help him in seizing Madd Dogg's mansion back from a Vagos drug dealer so the Grove Street Families could spearhead their return. The mansion serves as CJ's own base of operation in his return to Los Santos.
Triad members don all-black suits or all-grey suits. While the Triad gang members appear on the streets in Chinatown and Calton Heights in San Fierro. Strangely, they do not appear on Las Venturas streets, even areas surrounding the Four Dragons Casino, although they can be seen on several cutscenes and missions. They usually wield AK-47s and pistols, however in certain missions they can be seen with different guns.
Much like Varrios Los Aztecas will react generally friendly to CJ but will react hostile to him if provoked.

The Quarantine is a vault where infected files are sent either automatically (by On Access or On Demand scans) or by you if you're unsure whether the infected file is a' false positive'.
You can move any valid files sent to the Quarantine ('false positives') back to their original location by ticking the box in front of the file and clicking the Restore button. Note that it may take some time to move larger files from the Quarantine.
You can also submit 'falsepositive' detection cases to our Virus Lab team. If the file is indeed a 'false positive' case, we will make sure that the next virus definition update will remove that file from the detection list.
Infected files found by the On Access Scan (depends on the On Access actions that you have set)
Infected files found by the On Demand Scan which BullGuard was unable to disinfect
Suspicious files for which BullGuard has no virus definitions at the moment of the scan
'False positive' detection cases in the rare cases when BullGuard mistakes legitimate files for viruses
'False positives' happen when BullGuard detects files which exhibit what appears to be either viral behaviour or patterns of viral code (most encountered cases are Excel spread sheets containing macros or scripts).
When a file is sent to the quarantine, BullGuard renders it inaccessible, therefore harmless to your computer.
You can either physically remove the files from their hard drive by deleting them, submit suspicious files to our Virus lab or move the files back to their original location for 'false positive' detections.
Usually, the files considered suspicious are sent to Quarantine. It is recommended to send such files to the Virus lab by ticking the box in front of the file and then clicking the Submit button (this will require you to enter a valid e-mail address).

Glenda M.Oakley, CaLove This ProductI have great hair and very particular about what I use. Although I don't need this
for my hair I love the way this makes me feel. My husband also loves it we both use it everyday without any issues. I use it on my grandkids as well. A brush goes right through without a tangle. They love it and the smell.posted Jul 7, 2012Link to this post -
Turso U.HairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairGreat Product, Poor Packagingi have (truly) frizzy, curly hair and quite like this shampoo, as well as the hydrate conditioner. It's not the best I've ever used or anything but I do like it over many others. HOWEVER, the bottle design is SO bad that I would say the last 1/3 to 1/4 of product in the bottle stays there! Frankly, I'm very surprised that such a high end product that likely invests a lot of money in the research and manufacture of the actual product would not invest equal effort and money into the bottle design so that you can actually extract and use the product????!!!!!! Given the high cost of this conditioner and how much of it unfortunately goes to waste because it is inaccessible, I don't think it's worth it to spend the money on it, personally. There are other products that work just as well as this shampoo and conditioner such as Sebastian's Hydre Shampoo and Conditioner. If there's any way to communicate this information to Pureology, I think it might dramatically assist with their sales.posted Dec 14, 2011Link to this post
LilySeattle, WAHairDark BrownDry HairFine or Thin HairGreat But Not DailyThis shampoo feels great and I actually feel like it's moisturizing my hair. However, because I have finer hair, I try not to use this daily. As with other Pureology shampoos, the smell is a bit strange... herbal and minty. Better smelling than the Volumizing line though.posted Dec 20, 2010Link to this post
Kelly R.Powell, WYHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGood ProductI switch back and forth between this and the volumizing and love both. For some reason you need to be more careful with this product about using too much. It can cause a bad hair day if you do. It truely does what it says and makes your color last longer. It has also seemed to help hold those natural highlights made by the sun. Love that!posted Oct 18, 2010Link to this post
GigiSouth CarolinaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairSuper Straight Not Super Good For Colored Hair.The conditioner is great. The shampoo does contain sulfates. I used it after coloring some purple streaks on my hair and it pulled more purple dye out of my hair than my normal drug store brand...I was quite upset. Also too expensive...really not worth $25.posted Sep 15, 2010Link to this post
BfracGood Product But Not Sulfate FreeI do like this shampoo and conditioner very much but the ingredients on my bottle clearly list sulfates, so it should not be promoted as a sulfate free product.posted Jul 23, 2010Link to this post
Dalia D.Chula Vista CANice And EasyThe first time I used it, don't feel nothing diferent. But, two weeks later (I wash my hair 3 times at week), I saw a shiny hair, no oily, nice, no heavy,the most important thing was, that I thought a needed dandruff shampoo, because I had itchy, and white things in my head, but in the beauty supply don't have Pureology for this, and just get a normal one.....
My itchy desappeared and the white thinks too, I only had dry scalp.

JackieTry It!The results of this shampoo and conditioner system is AWESOME! I have fine hair that I straighten everyday and I noticed a difference the first time I used this, my hair felt and looked incredibly healthy and still does after repeated use! The smell is okay, not anything to drool over. It might be pricey, but you don't use a whole lot because it lathers up a whole lot so it lasts longer than regular shampoo. This system gets rid of dryness and promotes healthy, manageable, shiny, and soft hair. Try it!posted Mar 6, 2010Link to this post
TracyGreat ProductPureology is pricey, but it is like washing your hair with pretty! I have color treated, thick, wavy hair that tends to frizz. Using the Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner leaves it feeling soft and luxurious. My only complaint is the cost.posted Feb 17, 2010Link to this post
FrannieBrookline, MANot Amazing...It's been 3 weeks since I first started using Pureology. I find it to be an ok shampoo, but far from anything amazing. Pros: great lather, decent smell (like licorice) Cons: did nothing for my flaky scalp and tends to make my hair limp Would I buy it again? Probably not due to its cost which doesn't give you much bang for your buck.posted Jan 26, 2010Link to this post

I just don't know what to expect with Bowman, I don't want to think big with Ryan and Suter and he signs 2 guys on their last legs like Bruno and O.D. Again.

For the answer to why it hasn't been merged, see my reply on the mailing list:
Last month, I was trying to get it merged before the 7.11 merge window
closed. When that didn't happen, I decided to stop being in a hurry and
instead make some more improvements before trying again to get it merged
to master. Also, Brian Paul pointed out an issue that I hadn't noticed
before where st/mesa needed the current fragment shader to be in Mesa IR
form for glBitmap, glDrawPixels, and glCopyPixels to work correctly.
All of that is done now, as I finished the glBitmap path on Sunday and
the DrawPixels/CopyPixels path on Saturday. So now I need to fix a few
minor things like commit messages and one case where the old path
generates better code than glsl_to_tgsi. The merge might also be
delayed a bit further if it's decided that it should wait until after
7.11 is released, as Ian's reply suggested.

Mayor Bill White of Houston described the potential range of costs to both the federal government and insurance companies in an interview with the Houston Chronicle. He then joined Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas and Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Capitol Hill to testify before a Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on disaster recovery.FEMA — the Federal Emergency Management Agency — has not completed damage estimates that would be submitted to the federal government. "But," White said, "I would not be surprised if the total figures (for the federal government) weren't in the $20 billion to $40 billion range. We're going to be enormous."Latest insurance industry estimates compiled by the Insurance Information Institute of New York foresee privately insured losses ranging from $7 billion to $12 billion. The tally of private insurance losses, coupled with White's, provides the range of all losses of $27 billion to $52 billion.Some of the federal money is likely to come soon. Late Tuesday, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., unveiled details of a catch-all spending bill that includes between $23 billion and $24 billion for natural disaster relief.

Four: three in the opening number (one from the cast, and two from Green Day), then the show's official Best Musical performance later in the telecast.

Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects rendering: North Beach Branch Library
In November 2000, the voters passed a bond measure for $106 million to upgrade San Francisco's branch library system and in November 2007, the voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition D authorizing additional funding to improve the branches.
The new branch library will be located at the corner of Lombard and Columbus (triangle lot) and will be approximately 8,500 square feet on two levels. Highlights include separate adult, children, and teen areas, a program room with afterhours access for community use, an expanded collection of books and materials, more public computers, fully accessible spaces and an environmentally sensitive green building.
Plans for the library and park are the result of input from hundreds of residents who participated in publically held master planning meetings. Since May 2008, the Library and its partner the Recreation and Park Department have held five public meetings regarding the North Beach Branch Library and Joe DiMaggio Playground and both the Library & Recreation and Park Commissions reviewed the location and design of the branch at public hearings and voted unanimously to support moving the library to Columbus Avenue.
The Friends of the San Francisco Public Library are raising funds from private donations to pay for new furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the branch libraries. For more information on the North Beach Campaign, please contact email@example.com.

A man who smiles a lot and seems happy, but if you look in his eyes and below his good looks you see how broken he is and how well he is at hiding it. He is an emotionally strong man who has probably been through a lot but he keeps his smile and he keeps supporting those closest to him no matter what happens to him he puts others first and always cares and tries to help simply because if he can help, then why shouldn't he help?
Marcus is a hero and I'm proud to know him, he has helped me out so much when my family fell apart and he never stopped smiling or gave up on helping me

A guy who can make you laugh a lot, and can make you the happiest girl sometimes. Is what you'd call "popular" but once you get to know him.. hes a huge nerd! He'll ignore you when he's around his friends but watch every move you make, cuz he secretly likes you. He texts you everyday and talks to you a lot in the one class you have with him. He'll also play footsies with you too. He' also a huge jerk and will say mean things.. and probably not relize it. Has no friends in common with you and asks you some deep questions. He's a huge fan of star trek and star wars. One of the few people you will never forget.
If you are a marcus.. quit being a marcus... and tell her you like her already!

This is the email I recieved from the owner Mr. Bill Tonnesen.
"u are a dishonest person. You are not a part of what we are trying to create and you are not welcome as a tenant or a visitor. When you see me on the property please do not speak to me. Do not speak to my employees. Also do not come to our house or office or other rental properties. Most importantly do not approach or speak to my wife, Sam S., Sam R., Arianne or our partner Thomas."
Now, if I were dishonest I wouldn't be so adamant about sticking to my lease now would I? Honesty? 2 bedroom advertized at $550-not true, 45 inch flat panel tv with every refurbished apt?-not true, haven't locked my door when I leave anywhere because the key to the door doesn't work, recieved mail key a month and a half later, major construction AT the doors and windows at all hours of the day, sand blasting sand inside the apt, kitchen and restroom flooded, front door doesn't stay closed, wall mounted heater doesn't work, electric outlet in bathroom not to code. A far as his "crime free" environment, this is questionable. In fact I was here for a tennent who was involved with drunk and disorderly domestic dispute and let her use my phone to call 911. He has lied to all of us, he has treated us with disrespect and trys to force us to HIS view of how "life" should be, cheated us out of the necessary needs. he is diversionary and non-attentive to his tennents as proven when I went TO him to talk face to face as a responsible adult. The lease is written as is and is LEGALLY BINDING. Now that this issue has risen he wants to fight back. Dispite everyone in the arts community has said negatively about him I have admired his work. I can't say that I am charmed any longer by this individual. And he says I'M dishonest?

PoppyCatwalk Curl Booster----the Cat's Meow !The Catwalk Curl is the Cat's Meow! Kinda pricey, have to eliminate a few meals to use this stuff but, it makes my long straight hair hold a curl, once I spray it dry and set it in Heat Rollers.

CaraHairCurly HairNice Firm Light Hold That Doesn't Harden!!I bought this product for someone who has curly hair and it worked great on their hair to hold the curls. But then I used it on my straight hair after I curled it and it gave the perfect hold to my hair. I was able to run my fingers through my hair. My hair was still soft to the touch without any stickiness residue nor hardness. The next day I could comb through my hair and i was like I never put anything in it. This is the perfect hair spray to hold your curls in a gentle way. The trick is to not use too much!!!posted Oct 2, 2009Link to this post

File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats try to win this series from the Padres at Petco Park.
Two amazing things to consider about the Nationals right now: 1) Their last three wins (and five of their last eight wins) have all been by a score of 2-1, and 2) Ten games into this West Coast trip, they've yet to commit one error. Here's another impressive note to consider: A victory today would send the Nats home with a 6-5 record on this road trip. Not bad, all things considered.
With Jordan Zimmermann (seven straight quality starts) on the mound, the Nationals have to like their chances today. They will, however, be fielding a depleted lineup. Ian Desmond is sitting with a sore thigh (you might have noticed him struggling a bit to get around the bases last night) and Roger Bernadina is again out with a sore hamstring.
Jim Riggleman is going with the unconventional, new lineup again. Jayson Werth leads off. Zimmermann hits eighth. Alex Cora, starting at shortstop in Desmond's place, bats ninth.
Enjoy the final game of the trip — I'll be back covering the team live and in person Tuesday against the Cardinals…

Again, LOVE this lineup. Also, ESPN had a column the other day about "faces of the franchise" around 2015 or so, and the only argument made was between Harper and Strasburg.Am I wrong in believing the face of the franchise is, and will be until he retires, Ryan Zimmerman?
- Cwj - Jun 12, 2011 at 5:42 PM
7 straight quality starts is unreal. JZimmermann is the ace, no doubt.Stranded in Philly- Yeah I would think Ryan Zimm will be the "face of the franchise" for many many years to come. No reason yet to believe that he'll flee Washington the first chance he gets. I, and hopefully many other Nats fans, would be devastated if they ever let him go to another team.
- Anonymous - Jun 12, 2011 at 5:44 PM
Am I wrong in believing the face of the franchise is, and will be until he retires, Ryan Zimmerman? Zim himself has said he wants to see progress toward winning. If he doesn't he will likely be wearing pinstripes by then . And Anthony Rendon might just be ready to take over at third base. The Nats will likely trade/flip Zimmerman for prospects/players and not wait for the draft picks. This year was one year where keeping the picks meant more than a trade of Dunn.

Following up on Stranded_in_Philly's plaintive cry: from NationalsProspects this morning:Ryan Zimmerman took his rehab tour up to Syracuse against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and delighted the home-team radio announcers to the refrain of "Can we keep him?
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 12, 2011 at 5:50 PM
Hope this lineup can continue to barrel it up like they did yesterday. Only one K with a ton of shots that were right at somebody. Continue that and eventually they'll fall in.
- sparky - Jun 12, 2011 at 5:54 PM
"They will, however, be fielding a depleted lineup." Well I think anyone paying attention the last couple months is already aware.The plane ride home will be sooo much nicer for our boys if it comes after a victory, a 6 – 5 road trip, and word that in all likelihood Ryan Z will join them at the ballpark for Tuesday's game.
- Anonymous - Jun 12, 2011 at 6:04 PM
Liked last nights lineup, but it wasnt quite optimal. Today, though, i think riggs has done it. This lineup makes the best use of the guys who are available. I am hoping nix, and maybe ankiel, can come up with some big hits today. I can see us exploding for, maybe 4 runs?
- Anonymous - Jun 12, 2011 at 6:04 PM
The "fantasy draft results" from FanGraphs for their "Face of the Franchise" were interesting:1. Evan Longoria.2. Troy Tulowitzki.3. Mike Trout.4. Ryan Zimmerman….12. Bryce Harper….28. Stephen Strasburg.FanGraph's Matt Klaassen:Ryan Zimmerman. Matthew and The Dark Overlord took my first two choices, and I'm not quite brave enough to go the prospect route like Carson and pick Bryce Harper. I guess I'll have to "settle" for Zimmerman despite his injury. I wanted a relatively young hitter at a tough position, and Zimmerman is only 26. The only thing Tulo really has on him is positional value — Zimmerman is a great defender, excellent hitter (who seems to be getting better, and good baserunner. It was tough to pass on guys King Felix, Hanley, Votto, and Chen, but once I thought about Zimmerman, I had to take him.
- Doc - Jun 12, 2011 at 6:05 PM
No need to point it out, as alllllll Nats Fans know, but but we're .001 percentage points from leading the NL in fielding. A few more errorless games and we're there!!!!!!!!!!
- Stranded_in_Philly - Jun 12, 2011 at 6:07 PM
Anonymous at 1:44I don't see management trading Zimmerman in any but the most unlikely of circumstances. The bigger concern for me would be for injuries to derail his career to the point where he's not on the field enough to carry a franchise.

I don't see management trading Zimmerman in any but the most unlikely of circumstances. The bigger concern for me would be for injuries to derail his career to the point where he's not on the field enough to carry a franchise. Your concerns probably top the list for Mike Rizzo and surely that will not help Zimmerman's contract negotiations. The problem is Zimmerman gets to make a choice. He would certainly be coveted by teams like the Yankees, Bosox, and Phillies just to name a few. Zimmerman is a rare enough commodity that Rizzo would be highly unlikely to just "let him go" as happened with Dunn. Rizzo, Clark, Kline would likely look at him the same way the FanGraph's guy did: as a more valuable player than Pujols and even Strasburg. However, again, Zim himself could certainly decide to look elsewhere. If we are tired of losing imagine how that man feels.

I do not understand the expectations of high scoring game tonight by our Nats. I mean we are playing in Petco, against a pitcher who beat us two weeks ago, and a depleted lineup.Anyways, I would love this team score some runs tonight and Curly W as main dish, not on the side.

"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland – starving and outnumbered – charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, they hacked the gorse and won their freedom."Aye, their spirit lives on, each time Mickey Morse takes cudgel in hand and hacks the gorse like the warriors of olde.Freedom!

Padres' announcers just mentioned that San Diego has already signed 19 of their draft picks (who, by the way, will be playing for the Eugene Emeralds as of June 17). That apparently includes the Padres' top two picks.Anyone know where the Nats stand on signings? I know the top two or three may be a while, but what about others?

According to my eyes, Jayson Werth's AB with men on 3rd and 2nd and 1 out just sucked. What a horrible at-bat.Zimmermann and Cora did their thing and Riggleman called a great hit & run to set up Werth.
- JaneB - Jun 12, 2011 at 9:27 PM
What is the deal with Werth? He gets two strikes on him so fast, it seems. I k ow no one knows. What are the viable theories? It's like he isn't seeing the ball at all.

"….somethings need to change around here…."" problem is obvious…" Jayson WerthFirst thing that needs to change is the way Jayson Werth is hitting with RISP. Anyone of his stature, especially with his contract, shouldn't be mouthing off while hitting .224 and RISP.

This was close to a picture perfect game from the pitching perspective and fielding … almost. They are very weak at 3rd with Hairston and Cora is no Desmond or Espinosa. Werth and Morse probably about the same value as players. Werth is not hitting at all well but he has managed to get on base this season. Well managed game. Well played. Just no hitting. Still think Marerro could use another year or two in Syracuse. He's matching Aubrey. Antonelli and Valdez who are both older may be different stories. Throw in Harper, Norris, and Kelso and you have the 7 best hitters currently in the Nat's system. But are they major league ready?
- Knoxville Nat - Jun 12, 2011 at 10:16 PM

Anon, I hope that you never sit next to me at a bar. Werth will come around. He saved a run earlier when the Padre's 3B coach didn't send the runner, knowing Werth would have put him down. A month, or so, I said to the naysayers that Morse was a streak hitter, and as such would come around. Werth will do the same, and then you can go back under your rock.

Wonderful! Give credit to Nix (throughout, but especially for driving in that second run) and — although I still hope he retires to tomorrow — Stairs. And the pitchers — today's, yesterday's and Saturday's. They essentially had to be perfect and they almost were (certainly close enough). Go Nats!

104.2 consecutive innings without an error. Jordan Zimmermann drives his ERA down to 3.10 and below 2.95 when you take out inherited runners scoring.Someone mentioned yesterday that JZim could be an All Star except for his W/L record. 8 straight quality starts and a dominant full 7 innings with 10 K's.This team's future is coming in to clearer focus and this is 58 games without Ryan Zimmerman.
- natsfan1a - Jun 12, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Well, I got my side of curly w along with plenty of hacks (even if missing the gorse for the most part), so I'm a happy camper. I think my blood pressure may have risen precipitously, but it was totally worth it.Awesome to get the series and road trip win – the first such trip win since May 2008, I believe. Can't wait to see the winning road trip feature on TWIB next weekend! (Yeah, I'm a dork.)Agreed re. the credit, Eugene. I also felt that Werth's last at-bat was somewhat redemptive (his earlier at-bats, of course, having left him in need of redemption). And good for Stairs for getting the rally going.

Steve M. said… Still a long long way to go in baseball terms and if you disregard stats and look at last 8 starts, Jordan Zimmermann has been a top starter but they won't put in a starter with a losing record which is why Marquis is in the conversation and if he has 10 wins on July 1, he might be the guy as keep in mind he is a former All Star so in the world of snubs, the Nats have 5 guys who are performing great and 3 of them consistently in: Clip, Storen and Marquis then 2 who have been red hot in JZim and Morse.June 12, 2011 9:01 AM _______________________________This was the only mention of JZim's stud-ness in term's of this team's All Star. He is a true star of the team that every scout is talking about. More proof that he is a true #2 pitcher and if he gets some run support and bullpen help, he should be 9 to 10 wins already. Sure, if if if and shoulda coulda woulda but this guy is amaZing.

No one will listen but the player who consistently use to hit with RISP is Jesus Flores. However, Ramos is a tremendous catcher and I know he will be there. But if you want some offense he and Zimmerman will deliver. Ramos doesn't make any adjustments to get under the ball when swinging. It's all line drives or into to the dirt swings. Since he's only a rookie, I'm sure he will learn to elevate the ball especially in close games like today…

As my wife says, we only need one, as long as it is one more than them. Any more is a bonus, gladly accepted, though not expected.Nice road trip guys and I hope we are now the best fielding team in the league. We have come a long way from even earlier this year.
- Mark'd - Jun 12, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Loved how JZim handled that Rizzo kid and didn't treat him like Pujols. Also was neglective for not mentioning JZim as the team's top player yesterday in the All Star discussion. He is now Top 10 in WHIP and closing in on Top 15 in ERA.

104.2 consecutive innings without an error is amazing. A year or two ago, I doubt whether they could have gone 104 pitches without committing an error. Way to go, D.
- FS - Jun 13, 2011 at 12:23 AM
Is this kid, Danny, really that good? Or it just shows too much on a crappy offensive team like ours.JZ has been pretty great for us. This time he struck out batters and went deep in the game. Good job boy. Excited to see him and SS go back to back on a regular basis and win.I did not know much about our defense this past road trip. But good to know that they have done their job without Zimm at 3B. Let us not forget our catchers. 7 CS on this road trip I think and allowed 3 SB. Not too shabby?

Anyone now off the top of their heads when the last time the Nats ripped off a decent winning streak? Nothing ridiculous, just like an 8-gamer. I think we're due.

Anyone now off the top of their heads when the last time the Nats ripped off a decent winning streak? Nothing ridiculous, just like an 8-gamer. I think we're due. They are still 6 games under .500 and in the NL East. This was a great series. They struggle to stay above 10 games below .500. So far they succeed.But to do what you suggest given the current roster they would need Stephen Strasburg and Bradley Peacok major league ready and in the rotation with Jordan Zimmmerman. Precluding any injuries to those three. Then a 10+ winning streak would not be out of the question.
- dryw - Jun 13, 2011 at 1:26 AM
FlapJacks, I like it. Let's have a winning streak!

June 12, 2011 8:41 PM Flapjacks : Last major winning streak was 8 games from Sunday, Aug 2, 2009 to Aug 9, 2009 after Riggleman became the interim manager.
- Andrew - Jun 13, 2011 at 1:36 AM
The 2005 Nats team holds the team record for longest winning streaks of 10 games from June 2, 2005 to June 12, 2005.
- Drew8 - Jun 13, 2011 at 1:51 AM
The Nats also won eight straight in August 2009 before the Braves clipped their wings.Even thought they can't hit a lick, the improved pitching and defense are very encouraging, especially with the waves of talent coming in the next two years.Now add a splash of Strasburg, a cup of Zimmerman, a dash of Rendon and a stick of Harper.Purke-olate. AddMeyer your work and look forward to Goodwins.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 13, 2011 at 1:58 AM
Nats are now third in the majors in fielding. Rizzo said that was one area he was going to address for sure, and he has.Desmond had 8 errors early and still is at 8. Desi has 4. Two of the errors came to Pudge for catcher's interference.
- natsfan1a - Jun 13, 2011 at 2:09 AM
Definitely the improved D & P are encouraging. Now for some consistent O.Did somebody say flapjacks? I'll have blueberry, please (but not IHOP – sorry Charlie & Dave). I bow before the king of puns, Drew.
- FS - Jun 13, 2011 at 2:10 AM
I am more excited about Rendon and Harper. They both seem capable of doing well when they come up, especially Rendon. Do you guys think once his injury issues are resolved, he will be as ready as Ryan was back in 2005?dream lineup will have werth (long contract), harper, ryan, rendon, danny, ramos at least. hopefully ian will continue to improve his game and be part of this franchise, so will morse.
- Big Cat - Jun 13, 2011 at 2:50 AM
I think when Ryan comes back we are gonna go on a run. Maybe win 8-9 in a row. RIGGLEMANS RANGERS….EXPECT IT (Bumper Sticker?)
- Don - Jun 13, 2011 at 3:06 AM
I don't believe the Nats have won more than 3 consecutive games since the end of the 2009 season. They might have gone four in a row a few weeks ago, I just can't remember. Other than that maybe four game win streak, not more than three in 228 games.
- Drew8 - Jun 13, 2011 at 3:44 AM
For what it's worth, Ladson has a piece in which Marquis says he wants to stay with the Nats.Beyond hoping for a multi-year contract, Marquis says he likes his teammates, his coaches and the club's direction. He says the team is being built to be good for a long time.Unless the Nats do go on that 9-game run and get into this thing, I still would be inclined to sell high on July 31.I hope Marquis is 12-2 when the bidding begins.
- HHover - Jun 13, 2011 at 3:46 AM
It's a thrill to see them pull this one out and come home from the road trip with a winning record. But before we go making irrationally exuberant predictions about what it means, remember that 3 of those wins came against the worst offense in MLB. The Nats are coming home to face the second best offensive team in the NL. As to the question about streaks, the longest in 2010-11 were/are:4 game win streak, Sept. 21-24, 2010(3 vs Astros, 1 vs Atl). And a 4 game streak this April, 3 from the Brewers, 1 from the Cards.

Farm Report:At least somebody's hitting. At Syracuse, 2b Antonelli's average has climbed to a scorching .364 and Marrero's is up to .296.At Harrisburg, Brad Peacock took a hard-luck loss, but his numbers are still astonishing. Again tonight the guy struck out 10 and walked just one. For the season, Peacock is 7-2 with a 2.33 ERA. Get this — in his 12 games (10 starts) he has 101 strikeouts and just 16 walks.In Hagerstown, Robbie Ray got a no-decision. He was touched for three earned runs in five innings. His ERA ballooned to 1.03.

At Harrisburg, Brad Peacock took a hard-luck loss, but his numbers are still astonishing.He leads the board in AA in all pitching categories according to milb.com. He still may need another pitch but we'll have to see how he plays in AAA.

For what it's worth, Ladson has a piece in which Marquis says he wants to stay with the Nats.The last starter joins the fold … at this point I suspect Lannan has the most value because of his age, he is a lot younger, his left-handedness, and his velocity has up-ticked a notch.
- SonnyG10 - Jun 13, 2011 at 5:38 AM
What a fun but nerve racking game to watch. Good to win the road trip. Go Nats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- FlapJacks in Olney - Jun 13, 2011 at 11:24 AM
I may be making this up, but I seem to recall Boz writing a column a couple of years ago about now matter how good the team, they will have a losing streak sometime during the season, and no matter how poor the team, they will occasionally string together a good streak. Since then, I've been patiently waiting for the Nats to pull off one, doesn't ever seem to happen. Doesn't need to be a winning streak per se, but how about a stretch where they go 12-3?
- Anonymous8 - Jun 13, 2011 at 11:52 AM
Flapjacks, the old saying is you are never as bad as you are during a losing streak and never as good as you are during a winning streak.

It was actually Bobby Valentine who came up with the quote: 'You're never as good as when you're in a winning streak, and you're never as bad as you are when in a losing streak.'
- masnstinks - Jun 13, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Let's hope we continue our trend of playing up to the better teams. No matter what the record is – this team may not have the best offensive talent but they grind out every game – each person on the 25 seems invested and committed. There are obviously things we don't know about the organization or the clubhouse — players seems to love it. There is something to be said about a good work place environment and liking your co-workers.

San Mateo County firefighters and California Highway Patrol personnel investigate the scene of a limousine fire on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in Foster City, Calif., on May 4. / Jane Tyska, AP
One of the survivors of a limousine fire that killed five friends on a San Francisco Bay bridge is disputing the driver's version of what happened when the limo burst into flames.
Nelia Arellano, 36, of Oakland, told San Francisco's KGO-TV that she yelled at the driver to stop the car, but he "didn't want to listen."
When the driver, Orville Brown, did finally stop, Arellano said, he did nothing to help the women get out of the burning car after he exited. She also said the car's four rear doors were locked.
Brown has said that, at first, he misunderstood what one of the passengers in the back was saying when she knocked on the partition between the passenger area and the driver and complained about smelling smoke.
With the music up, he initially thought the woman was asking if she could smoke. Seconds later, he said, the women knocked again, this time screaming, "Smoke, smoke!" and "Pull over," Brown told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Brown says he helped four of the surviving women escape through the partition, though the limo was engulfed so quickly that he couldn't help everyone get out.
Tuesday, the San Mateo County Coroner officially identified the women who perished: the bride, Neriza Fojas, 31, of Monterey; Michelle Estrera, 35, of Fresno; Anna Alcantara, 46, of San Lorenzo; Felomina Geronga, 43, of Alameda, and Jennifer Balon, of Dublin, Calif..
Fojas and Estrera worked on a trauma medical/surgical floor at the Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
Of the four survivors, Arrellano and Mary Guardiano, 42, of Alameda, were taken to Stanford Medical Center. Arrellano has been released, but it wasn't known if Guardino was still hospitalized, the San Jose Mercury News reported Tuesday. Amalia Loyola, 48, of San Leandro; and Jasmine Desguia, 34, of San Jose, were listed in fair condition at Valley Medical Center.
The nine friends, all nurses, were headed across the San Francisco Bay to a hotel in Foster City on Saturday night for a bridal shower for Fojas, who was married recently.
Investigators had not determined Monday why the limo burst into flames, but they did note that the vehicle was carrying one more passenger than allowed under state regulations.
The five who died were found huddled near a partition between their compartment and the driver's. Unable to squeeze through a small opening, they "succumbed to the smoke and flames," Mike Maskarich of the California Highway Patrol said at a news conference Monday.
"My guess would be they were trying to get away from the fire and use that window opening as an escape route," San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said earlier.
The four survivors escaped by squeezing through the 3-foot-by-1 1/2-foot opening. Two were in critical condition Monday.
The 1999 Lincoln Town Car was westbound on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, which connects San Mateo and Alameda counties, about 20 miles southeast of San Francisco.
Many stretch limousines have doors at the front and the back, but not along the elongated section of the vehicle.
The company that operated the limo was identified as Limo Stop, of San Jose, which offers service through limousines, vans and SUVS. According to records from the California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates limousine companies, Limo Stop is licensed and insured.
Maskarich said the stretch limo is considered a "charter party vehicle" and was listed with the PUC to carry eight or fewer passengers.
"There were nine," Maskarich said. Officials did not comment on whether the overcrowding played any role in the tragedy.
He said it appears that Brown, the driver, was properly licensed.
The company issued a statement saying it "will do everything possible to investigate and assist authorities in determining the cause of this fire in order to bring forth answers and provide closure to (the) victims and their families."
Fojas' sister, Rosalyn Bersamin, told the Chronicle that Fojas and her friends, after a night on the town, were heading to the hotel to join Fojas' new husband. "She was a hard worker, a loving sister," a sobbing Bersamin told the newspaper.
The couple had planned to repeat their marriage vows in the Philippines next month for family and friends, the Mercury News reported.

Erlin focused on keeping ball down in Coors debut
Lefty making 17th career big league start; Rockies counter with Lyles
On Saturday, Padres starting pitcher Robbie Erlin will make his first appearance at Coors Field in Denver.
It's something that the 23-year-old left-hander has given some thought too -- but not too much thought.
"You have to balance it … the information is good and I'll definitely ask some questions [about pitching at Coors Field] and will talk to guys, but the key for me, here or anywhere, is to keep the ball down."
That's not always something pitchers both young and old -- Erlin is making his 17th Major League start -- find easy to do in the hitter-friendly environment at Coors Field, with its vast and expansive outfield.
Maybe Erlin could ask Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles, who gets the start Saturday. He knows plenty about being successful here.
Lyles is 3-0 in three starts at Coors Field with a 1.25 ERA. He has allowed three earned runs on 17 hits in 21 2/3 innings in his home ballpark. Overall, he's 5-0 with a 2.66 ERA.
Not bad for a guy who never had an ERA below 5.09 in three seasons in Houston.
"He's shown the ability to get the ground ball when he needs it. He's pitching about as good as you can pitch right now. Obviously, he's been huge for us, especially with the injuries we've had to deal with in our rotation," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss.
The Rockies have already had starting pitchers Jhoulys Chacin, Tyler Chatwood and Brett Anderson on the disabled list this season.
As for Erlin, he's aware that for some pitchers, they're breaking ball doesn't always break at Coors Field. He'll make an adjustment as needed, he said.
"I'll find out before the game [in the bullpen] and make an adjustment if I need to," he said.
The thing Erlin won't do, he said Friday, is to over think his first start at Coors Field and potentially what could go wrong. That's a slippery slope, he said.
"You can't freak out about it," he said. "If you think about it, it will only make it worse."
Padres: Looking for lineup stability
Manager Bud Black used his 43rd different starting lineup on Friday against the Rockies -- in the 43rd game of the season.
Chances are good that Black might have some more stability to work with when he sits down to pen his lineup, now that outfielders Carlos Quentin, Cameron Maybin and third baseman Chase Headley have returned from disabled list stints.
"In the winter, when you project your team, when [general manager Josh Byrnes] talks about the roster … this is pretty much the group we had in mind," Black said.
Quentin missed the first 39 games with a bone bruise to his left knee. Maybin missed the first 25 after he ruptured his left biceps tendon in Spring Training. Finally, Headley missed 14 games with a right calf strain.
"We feel as though when this group plays to its potential, it's a pretty solid team," Black said.
Rockies: Staying grounded
There are probably several good reasons why the Rockies are having so much success at home this season.
The Rockies, who are 14-5 at Coors Field, have a pitching staff that has done a great job keeping the ball on the ground.
Going into Friday's game, the Rockies ranked fourth in the National League with a 49.3 percent ground ball ratio and second in the league in the ratio of ground ball to fly balls (1.83).
On Friday, Jorge De La Rosa got 11 ground-ball outs, allowing one hit over seven scoreless innings.
Last season, the Rockies set a franchise record for their ration of ground balls to fly balls (1.64).
Worth noting
• Padres Minor League left-handed pitcher Max Fried faced live hitters for the first time in a game-type setting Friday in an extended spring game in Arizona. Fried, the Padres' No. 2 rated prospect according to MLB.com, reached 93-mph. Friend will make one more start in Arizona before he joins High-A Lake Elsinore of the California League.
• Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario, on the disabled list with a viral infection, will play games Friday and Saturday with Triple-A Colorado Spring before he's likely to be activated Sunday.

This recipe looks and sounds so good!! I love that there's a minimal amount of sugar and that it's just a single serving.

The question is exactly as posed in the thread title. Is some music better than other music?
For myself, I have long been convinced that some music is indeed better than other music. That all music can be ranked on a scale of 'goodness', given that no piece is necessarily of consistent quality from end-to-end. For example, I might sing a song. I might sing it slightly out of tune in a particular passage. I might sing it again, without singing out of tune. All other things being equal, I would rate the second rendition better than the first. I think this applies across the board, that there is an intrinsic quality in music (or: are qualities) which make(s) it possible to say that one piece is better than another. I know that not everybody agrees with this, some holding that there is no intrinsic quality in either piece, and that the differences are all to do with my perceptions, but I don't feel that this is adequate to explain the cultivation of musical expression and appreciation. I only got the perceptions by comparing good with worse. Once, in the course of trying to teach a particularly obtuse guitar student, I was confronted with a somewhat existential position. 'You make a sound, I make a sound', I paraphrase his contribution, 'They're both sounds, there's nothing to make the sound you make any more valid than the sound I make.' He never did turn out much of a guitarist, but then maybe if I had been a better teacher I would have had a better answer than to burn him with a cigarette. Despite that, I understand how some might find it offensive to be told that the music they like is intrinsically inferior to some other music. It could be seen as preferable to put it all down to personal preferences rather than risk confrontation. I don't see anybody here backing away from a confrontation though. So, is some music better than other music? -------------------- wakibaki.com

Is some music better than other music? The answer is "yes". I can clearly ABX different works against each other, and one of them is almost always inferior in quality.
