Roney is a bit nutso on that Braun suspension prediction — Bruan might just decide to walk away from 100 games worth of pay and just take the smear of his legacy, after having beaten MLB once laready in arb? No chance.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 7, 2013 at 9:23 PM
Don…. where did Roney PREDICT a suspension? How does "SHOULD RYAN BRAUN BE HIT WITH AN EXTENDED SUSPENSION" become a prediction?
- Secret wasian man - Jun 7, 2013 at 9:27 PM
Nats ranked 17th. October 2012 seems ooooooooooh so far away. Thanks Rizzo.
- David Proctor - Jun 7, 2013 at 9:44 PM
Mark DeRosa was on Intentional Talk. Had good things to say about us. Said he had a great relationship with Desi, hopes we make it to the World Series but "Washington never came calling so I'm a Blue Jay now." Great guy.
- Don - Jun 7, 2013 at 10:05 PM
NatsJack — easy there big fella. Thsi is what Roney said:"Roney: Should Ryan Braun be hit with an extended suspension as a result of the Biogenesis case, it'll be interesting to see if he bothers to appeal amid a pretty lost Brewers season."He predicted that Braun might consider accepting the suspension. It won't be interesting to see if Braun would do so, because the chances of him doing that are zilch.

Well, that was fast.Nationals PR @NationalsPR 2mThe #Nationals have agreed to terms with RHP Jake Johansen, their top selection (68th overall) in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.

Rainouts two nights in a row? When does that ever happen? It's like God heard Johnny Holliday doing PBP and he wept.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 7, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Johansen is the mystery starter on Wednesday. LOL

I keep forgetting the "h". Ohlendorf.And your right Ghost.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 7, 2013 at 11:23 PM
Looks like there might be 75-100 people at the Syracuse/Scranton game. Chilly and drizzling up there.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 7, 2013 at 11:31 PM
Ohlendorf with 4 k's in the first 2 innings showing a pretty good breaking ball.
- NatsLady - Jun 7, 2013 at 11:34 PM
Bet Ohlendorf is busting his butt to get out of there.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:12 AM
He has an odd delivery. I wonder if it's deceptive.
- Scooter - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:14 AM
Wait, is Ohlendorf the guy who does that old-fashioned double-swing of the arms in the full windup? I remember someone did that in spring training, but can't recall who.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:25 AM
Apparently Eckstein is also the hitting coach at Syracuse. Runners on 1st and 3rd, none out. Corey Brown, Micah Owings and Mike Costanzo all strike out.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:25 AM
Scooter, yes, that is what he does.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:31 AM
Easy 1-2-3 inning with another K. I didn't see the inning where he gave up a double, I am always suspicious of minor-league fielding.
- baseballswami - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:35 AM
Watching Reds / Cardinals. Cardinals are hitting 330 with risp. Commentators talking about how they have a good two strike approach and use the whole field. Nothing huge or fancy and – boom, up by three. Smart and amazing to watch. Absolutely no reason why our professional baseball players cannot do that. Guy just went 11 pitches and singled. Runner on first ran it out to second every single pitch and ended up on third. Singled in. 1,2,3– just like that. It's not rocket science.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:41 AM
Approach and execution.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:46 AM
Ohlendorf out after 5. I don't think there was anything wrong with him, they just wanted the original starter to pitch because their rotation got messed up. Ohlendorf 1 hit, 3 walks, 2 earned runs, bunch of Ks.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:53 AM
Boy, if there is anything that will motivate Danny, it's playing in that dreary place. I also had the Cards-Cin game on, what a contrast.
- SCNatsFan - Jun 8, 2013 at 1:51 AM
NatsLady, lets hope so. Be a great thing for the team if a change in scenery snapped him into a change.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:01 AM
Braun horrible misplays a ball in LF and the Brewers' announcers talk about "how much ground he covers."
- paul brandt - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:12 AM
I breezed through their respective schedules but by my count the Cardinals have scored 9 or more runs 10 times already (including tonight) compared to our 2…I hear way too much about the Cards from my in-laws being from there but man oh man, they are a fun team to watch offensively…excellent AB's, situational hitting, moving runners over, you name it. Just an observation…miss my Nats of last year but it has to get better, doesn't it?
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:18 AM
On May 16, Oakland was 20-22 and 7.5 games behind Texas. Today they are 37-25 and tied for the lead. If they beat Chicago, they will be in the lead. Don't give up, people!!
- paul brandt - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:28 AM
NL, nice, reason for optimism. As Dr. Leo Marvin said: baby steps…what a classic & a must watch…cut & paste into your browser, sorry not real tech savy but how fitting.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3JPa2mvSQ4
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:32 AM
Yeah, I remember thinking that Texas was running away with it (yawn)–and now they aren't. Starting when Desi got back, Davey filled out the same lineout day after day, the rotation functioned. This year, VERY different. A test of the creativity and resolve of Davey and Rizzo, no room for error, no room for slacking, no room for nursing "projects."
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:35 AM
Baby steps–right. Play each game as it comes and dig ourselves out of the hole on shovel-full at a time. The talent is there–or it will be when it gets healthy.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:36 AM
Er, one shovel-full. My typing stinks.
- paul brandt - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:38 AM
NL, i was counting both wins & losses for total runs of 9 or more/game but may have messed up. I was bored with no Nats for 2 days…haha.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:42 AM
If you click on the link I gave it's easier because the games are all lined up and you don't have to page through the schedule. Yeah, no game for us is boring, but good for the boys to have rest and healing.

- Scooter - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:50 AM
I went away for a bit, but thanks for the Ohlen-dope, NatsLady. Seeing him was like watching a tape from the 1940s. My dad spotted it, and it took him a few minutes to figure out what he was seeing — nobody really does that anymore.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:53 AM
I'm learning a lot about the different sites from doing my blog. One thing I learned especially is respect for the job Mark does. There are some days I just don't feel like doing a game report… but once you start you have to keep going I guess.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:56 AM
Scooter, it was the first thing I noticed. He does that thing behind his head like CMW but he also does that arm-swinging lean thing. Wasn't around in the 1940s and I guess I didn't put 2 and 2 together from old newsreels.
- sjm308 - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:06 AM
In old nats news. Just saw that CM Wang opted out of his minor league deal with the Yankees and was scooped up by the Blue Jays and is scheduled to start in the next few days. Man, I thought we had problems!
- sjm308 - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:14 AM
Totally off topic and I probably should reply on her own blog but I just went over and read a few of the other blogs Mark lists on the left hand side and I really enjoy reading Natslady. How do you have time to post on here and still produce your own column? Great job!
- baseballswami - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:20 AM
This has been the craziest week- the purge, the walk off. The thumping, followed by two rainouts in a row, while the draft is going on. So off kilter. Earlier I was talking about the Cardinals– it is very instructive to watch other teams in general. Their hitters are very professional about what their job is in each at bat. Maybe it's a lack of maturity with some of the Nats? The difference is glaring. I think in anything you do you have to use the correct process or form. You won't always get the results you want, but over time you probably will more times than not. I think they call it playing the game the right way. Can't get good results without it. I would like to see better fundamentals whatever the score.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:21 AM
Well, I have a sort of template with the daily posts and the summaries (like injuries and weekly stats). Then I have the ongoing series of the Opening Day Starters. I try to do one other topical post per week (this week it was on the draft). The most time-consuming thing is the formatting because what you see is NOT what you get! The software is very frustrating. Wednesdays and Saturdays and days that I go to games in person are the hardest to find the time. I try to set it up in advance and just plug in the data. So the daily posts only take about 1/2 hour.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:30 AM
Brewers walked off. Cholly didn't use Papelbon because it was a tie game away–so Horst gave up three singles and that was the ball game.

The Giants kept Pagan out of the lineup 11 days before they finally put him on the DL with a hamstring. So it's retroactive 10 days (the max). See, really, it's not just the Nats,

the reality is this1) Nats are having one of these seasons where they are cursed by injuries, some self inflicted (Bryce and Mattheus stupidity), poor medical staff and of course bad luck2) When healthy they can contend, but the margin for error is almost zero 3) last season other teams did not have a book on prospects like Tyler Moore, now they do and it shows, the kid is just not that good like many of their prospects.4) granted, Rizzo has improved the farm system that could have only gone up after 2007, but, he clearly over hyped many of these players and pundits and sports writers really did not fine tooth comb these players because the assumption was that if a team wins 98 games, then the talent base must be good. This is why I never have respect SI and most other publications, they do not know shit about this game5) Of course all the players are going to say the season can be saved because the Lerners would murder them if they did not, they need to hood wink us fans as long as possible to keep coming out of the park…that will end after Nats drop 10 under 500Nats need to be smart and play the young healthy guys as much as possible and re group in 2014

From ESPN, ranking JZ No.5 in their Cy Young analysis (early, I grant).Jordan Zimmermann With an honorable mention to Patrick Corbin (9-0, 2.06 ERA) and Cliff Lee (7-2, 2.45, but could be traded to an AL team), it is Zimmermann who rounds out my top five. This success is nothing new for the Nationals right-hander, who posted a 3.18 ERA in 2011, 2.94 last year, and is currently at 2.16. In that time, he has the eighth-lowest walk rate among qualified starters at 4.7 percent, just a few ticks shy of leader Lee at 3.9 percent. Zimmermann doesn't have overpowering stuff, but succeeds by keeping runners off the bases by limiting walks and inducing weak contact. His 17.3 percent infield popup rate is the best in baseball at the moment, and his 51.5 percent ground-ball rate is the 12th highest. One might think that relying on success on balls in play is a recipe for disaster, but Zimmermann has been doing this for nearly 500 innings and has shown no signs of slowing down.NL Cy Young Racehttp://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot

David Proctor, I wasn't too shocked to see Espy on the list. He had 6 RBI's in his first game at Nats Stadium!In my bordom this morning, after defending the Morse/ ALR move for seemingly the 100th time yesterday, I did a comparison of their mostly conventional stats. It was somewhat surprising to see the totals so far. PA BA Runs Hits HR RBI BB K's OBP OPS Morse 198 .249 21 45 11 21 15 50 .313 .772ALR 218 .246 27 47 10 28 26 57 .335 .785I was surprised by how close they are in plate appearances. But all things considered including injuries to both, and ALR's painfully slow April and Micky's torridly hot April, it's amazing how close that they are at this point.
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 8, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Wow, I lined all that up perfectly before I posted it, but that's how it appeared. Oh, well, you can figure it out, if you're interested.

Caps fan and nats fan1a– you are definitely saving my morning! Seriously, you can rant and rage if you want, but I just don't have the energy to keep that up for the next four months. To me, summer has an ebb and flow, tropical storm? Sunny day. Baseball's ups and downs. I have enough stress and drama in my life as it is, I am not going to make baseball something that ruins my day. I am going with whatever happens, good and bad. I enjoy reading posts that have humor and wisdom. I will be skipping any that spew venom, especially personal attacks. It's summer and we have our team. We have the voices of Charlie and Dave and we have long, humid nights at the park. Beats the off season any day. That being said– now our beat writer is on the DL?? Crazy.

That's overpowering but that label comes from the K/9 stat and that's where you have to know JZim's game plan isn't to nibble on corners. Strikeouts are great but quick outs are his goal. The ESPN writers need to understand that. He learned how to pitch to contact to induce weak contact and that is what I have said about him dozens of times. This has lowered his pitch counts and allowed him to throw 3 complete games which leads the Majors.
- jeffwx - Jun 8, 2013 at 1:43 PM
on September 19, 1964, the cards were 6 1/2 games behind the phillies with 12 games remaining. The cards won the pennant on the last day of the season. Having Gibson helped of course.
- baseballswami - Jun 8, 2013 at 1:44 PM
You have overpowering stuff when hitters know what is coming and they cannot barrel up. It must be so frustrating to face him. You have to swing because you know it will be a strike, but it's just not going anywhere. Fastball seems to explode at the end, curve is sharp, change up complicates life. That is overpowering. I agree that swing and miss has become the indicator– falsely. Strike outs are fascist.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:04 PM
baseballswami said… That is overpowering. I agree that swing and miss has become the indicator– falsely. Strike outs are fascist.I think the Cardinals in Game 4 would say JZim can be overpowering plus he has the immaculate inning in his résumé.It's that K/9 that is 5.44 where analysts bring up the "overpowering" label. He has a BB/K that is almost 5!At least this season they aren't bashing him for his W/L record.
- baseballswami - Jun 8, 2013 at 2:11 PM
I think he enjoys being ignored– in the press. I am sure that the NL batters and hitting coaches don't ignore him. And the more strikes he throws, the more over eager they get to swing. I think he psychologically uses that. Seems to have an inner need to mentally dominate the hitter. So glad he and Zuke have mind melded this season.

- Nats 128 - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:01 PM
I guess if you like that swing and miss stuff you can try to get Ubaldo Jimenez. His K rate per 9 is 9.05. Then you have his Ks per Walk of 2.10 and the ERA of 5.03 and you know why he's back of the rotation. This goes to soft tossers too like Haren. The most meaningful stat has to be ERA even though its not perfect as no stat is becuz of park effects. This game is about Runs, any ways you can achieve it. Runs given up and runs scored.
- NatsLady - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:23 PM

Faraz, a lot of raw talent drafted. I made comments yesterday with stats. The Nats were looking for kids who are diamonds in the rough. Mostly kids who haven't grown into their bodies and kids that need mechanics tweaks. As you dig inside some of the numbers on Johansen and a few others you can see what the Nats covet in pitchers which is the velo and the position players on the corners with the raw power and up the middle the athleticism and speed which are all things you can't teach.Start with the good raw building blocks and work on the tweaks.
- baseballswami - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:41 PM

jeffwx @ 9:43 a.m.,If I recall the story correctly, one of biggest issues was the Phillies' manager completely mismanaging his pitching staff in those last two weeks of the season. Starting pitchers on short rest, leaving them in too long, etc. Is it David Halberstam — not a home, can't check — who describes that collapse in painful detail in his book about the 1964 World Series?

That will be so sweet when we have a new stadium for the PNats in Woodbridge and the the Suns are just a hop south. NoVa is Nats country, Hagerstown is more O's land. Now if we could just get AAA. to move to Richmond that would be sweet. Harrisburg really embraces that team, they have history and it's a nice park so they should stay there.

SI and ESPN can be a mile wide and an inch deep. They seem to do more NFL, and less on other sports. Occasionally one of their better reporters does a stunning in- depth story.

Quality-certified trails and regional tours
Runners, romantics, treasure hunters and health freaks have a huge choice of outdoor locations in which to explore Germany on foot. A network of well-marked trails covering around 200,000 kilometres in total makes it easy to find your bearings – even without GPS. Tours through the national parks are a great way to get closer to nature. But there are also lots of green areas to discover in and around Germany's cities.

Analog SLR Cameras Buying Guide
With the introduction of digital cameras, film cameras have lost quite a bit of their market share, people don't want to wait for their pictures to come back from being developed. In our society where everything is fast and instantaneous there's not much room for a product that makes us wait more than a few seconds for anything.
Analog SLR cameras though do have their place among enthusiasts, purists and professional photographers. They can still be found in use by many people today as some feel that digital cameras just can't capture things the way a film camera can, they've become more of a niche product relegated to mostly enthusiasts and professionals.
If you're in the market for an Analog SLR camera you've still got a few choices out there as many companies are still producing them, they are a bit on the expensive side though as these are considered a professional product. With anything that has a high price we'll always want to take a close look at our options before making a purchase like this, especially when the market is limited to your choices of products to purchase.
Most SLR cameras use the 35mm film format as it is a nice blend of image quality, size and cost, 35mm film has become the dominant film being used today because of it's versatility.
SLR Cameras are not something that you'll want to buy on an impulse, and they are something that you'll want to buy from a reputable, well known company. With SLR Cameras, the saying 'you get what you pay for' really applies as the technology used in them is very precise and exacting.
What is SLR Technology?
SLR stand for Single Lens Reflex.
What this means is that the camera uses a mirror system that moves to allow the photographer to see exactly what will be caught on the film. As opposed to using a non-SLR camera where the image seen through the viewfinder can be very much different than the actual image captured on the film. So there is a distinct advantage to using an SLR camera as you'll know what you're picture will look like before you click the button.
The SLR system though makes the cameras larger and heavier, and if quality optics are not used then it doesn't matter how good of a photographer you are the pictures will not be any good. So that's one of the main reasons to purchase from a known manufacturer, the other reason of course would be their experience at making these types of cameras.
As technology has progressed the ability to have auto-focus with a film camera became available, this is a great for people who don't have much technical knowledge, but want to use film cameras for their photography. Many companies still though make non-auto focus cameras as there still is a market for them among amateurs and professional photographers alike.
Analog cameras have come very far technologically speaking, they can be just like a digital cameras with the LCD display on them to show what is being viewed, but this is something that is not common as of yet, only a few cameras have this ability and of course at a premium price.
Of course with an SLR camera you'll have a wide variety of lenses to choose from, and depending on what your photographing you'll need to find a specific lens for the job. This of course can add quite a bit to the price of the camera as one can easily end up purchasing several types and styles of lenses.
The one major problem with Analog SLR cameras that allow lenses to be switched out is dust and dirt, event the smallest piece of dirt can damage the camera and cause it to malfunction in one way or another.
Keep in mind that a single, good quality lens can easily cost you $1000 or more, so Analog SLR cameras are really not for the average consumer, you can easily spend a few thousand dollars on a good camera setup. If you 're just taking family photos or using it for your vacation etc, and still want a film camera you're much better off with a point and shoot style camera. Analog SLRs are more for professionals and artistic photographers and such people, the average person will not need something like this.
Analog SLR cameras are pretty much considered a specialty item, one of the best things you can do is talk to other people familiar with them. There is a also a large used market for Analog SLR cameras as many people are making the switch over to digital, you can easily pick up a very nice Analog SLR camera for a fraction of the original cost. Though when buying a use SLR camera make sure it's from a reputable buyer and if possible inspect the camera before purchase for any defects etc. All professional cameras that allow the lenses to be switched can and will allow dirt, dust etc to get inside and cause damage that is not at first noticeable, even the tiniest speck of dust or dirt can possibly cause the camera to malfunction. With the auto-focus cameras that same speck of dirt can cause the focus motor to not work correctly or even damage it.
As with any product that might be considered an investment, and you can easily spend thousands on an Analog SLR camera and it's accessories, the best thing you can do is research the products before you make any purchase. Analog SLR cameras are still very popular, you can find many resources online and in print that can be very helpful and informative in making a buying decision. There are many forums out there that are dedicated to film cameras you can join them and ask questions of the other members. Most of the members of these forums are enthusiasts and professional photographers and they can be very helpful and also provide a wealth of information to a buyer. These same forums can also help you after your purchase as well as with any questions that might arise about the camera or possible needed accessory recommendations.

With OS drivers still not supporting OpenGL 3(nor 4), without good acceleration for video playback(at least not for my r700) and with rather poor performaces for those still without a working Gallivm3D driver(in particular after the KMS switch), IMO the OpenCL support should be at the very last position on the OS drivers' TODO list.

EDITOR'S CHOICE Dr. Cosgrove preps for the Affordable Care Act's changesBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:10 am, December 19, 2012
Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove sits down for a long Q&A with The Wall Street Journal to discuss the big changes awaiting the health care sector with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Dr. Cosgrove: The forcing function of the ACA is going to drive more coordination of care. It's going to not allow doctors to be necessarily independent; they'll have to be in relationships with hospitals and other providers. All of these things carry big changes and there are risks to them. I think we are in good shape to start with because of our model of care. Dr. Cosgrove: Absolutely. We have been in discussions with numerous players from one coast to the other. We have yet to execute major M&A. But we are in the prospect of having those discussions. WSJ: With what types of possible partners? Dr. Cosgrove: Hospital systems…We have talked to providers generally. Dr. Cosgrove: We're going to not drive the cost in a particular community. .. .What we're talking about is consolidation on a much bigger scale, across the country. I don't think that anyone would suggest that supermarkets have not reduced the cost of food across the United States or that books from Amazon don't cost less than books do from your local bookstore. WSJ: You are consolidated in the Cleveland area. Do you use that leverage in negotiating prices with health insurers? Dr. Cosgrove: Yes, we do. We also consolidate services and drive efficiency of services across this organization. We've consolidated our hospitals. We've consolidated cardiac surgery, pediatrics, rehab, psychiatric care, obstetrics, to bring them together and have higher quality and lower cost, more efficiency. This and that

by Steve Kindig If you want to take advantage of the very latest technologies, you'll need an advanced HDMI cable like the AudioQuest Chocolate. It's rated "High Speed with Ethernet," so it can carry the highest-resolution video available — all the way up to 4K at 60 frames per second. Connecting your components with AQ Chocolate is a great way to prepare your system for the most cutting-edge features available today, as well as what's on the way. Supports 3D TV and 4K Chocolate falls in the middle of AudioQuest's line of HDMI cables. It's made with premium materials throughout to maximize the crystal-clear picture and sound quality available from the latest high-definition digital sources. All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 10 meters are capable of transmitting 100% of the data required for all of HDMI's current audio/video features including 1080p and 4K video, 3D video from Blu-ray, and multichannel high-resolution audio. AudioQuest Chocolate is fully backward-compatible with HDMI 1.3 and earlier cables. Bit Error Rate testing ensures that every cable passes signals as accurately as possible. Silver-plated solid core conductors for better signal transfer AudioQuest is known for their superior build quality, and their Chocolate HDMI cables are no exception. They use high-purity copper, solid-core conductors plated with a very thin layer of silver. High-frequency HDMI audio and video signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductors. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. It's a cost-effective way to build a very high-performance HDMI cable.

Not worth the money Written By overrated, New York on Sunday, January 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This cable was such a waste of money. It was recommended by a few guys at the "local" electronics store when I bought my $2k Samsung 4K tv so I gave it a shot and there was no difference at all between this and the monster high speed cable I already had. If it just makes you feel better knowing you paid more than go for it, but if you are looking for mind blowing changes don't waste your time or money. Pros: none Cons: doesn't make a difference just because it costs a lot.
You need it if you have 4K TV Written By Star, Rapid City, SD on Sunday, January 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have all Chocolate HDMI cables in my home center 5 cables in all. Things Look better now that have all Chocolate Cables. Pros: Top of the line. Cons: None
Good Cable Written By Joe, Lancaster, PA on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Cable, but not necessary. I didn't notice much, if any difference from my old Monster Cable. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I have a well built cable. Pros: Well built, clean, good picture. Cons: Price, may not be worth the cost...
Great product Written By David P, North, SC on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) High quality cable.... could tell a difference in the sound and picture. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Pros: Quality made. Cons: Price
Chocolate HDMI Written By TomV,, Palm Coast, Florida on Thursday, July 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A great cable at a reasonable price without breaking the bank. Pros: AudioQuest has excellent build quality and flexible jacket for tight locations. Cons: None
Great Mid-Grade HDMI Cable! Written By AudioNut, Dunn, NC on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Upgrade your cables to AudioQuest! Great signal transfer and superb build quality. This is a perfect mid-grade cable that won't break the bank! Pros: Build quality and superb jitter free signal transfer. Cons: None
Love some chocolate Written By Poldawg, Ft Worth Tx on Wednesday, March 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As I experienced with previous audioquest products, this hdmi cable does its advertised job of providing a heightened viewing experience. A very good product indeed! Pros: Picture quality!! Cons: None
Choclate AudioQuest Made A Difference Written By Paul L., Poughkeepsie, N.Y. on Friday, December 14, 2012 I read many articles on the web that said "expensive HDMI cables were a waste of money, after all it is just 0's and 1's". I decided against premium HDMI cables, all those reviews couldn't be wrong? I had just bought a Panasonic 55 inch TC-P55VT50 and paired it with the top of the line OPPO Blu Ray Player. I was talking to an advisor from another high end retailer and he suggested I upgrade the HDMI cables to chocolate because I had purchsed both a high end Plasma TV and Blu Ray player and he was confident I would benefit from the cable upgrade. I was skeptical. I had bought my HDMI cables from Crutchfield and knew I could try the upgraded cables and if I didn't see an improvement I could return them. I was using the HDMI cable provided with the OPPO player. I noticed that the audio/video was not perfictly synced especially noticable on music videos. Once I hooked up the Choclate HDMI cables I immediately noticed the video and audio was now synced. For the first time I didn't have to adjust the lip sync feature on the amp. Picture quality improved. The colors were not as over saturated and the overall picture was sharper. My friends said it was the placebo effect (gimme a break) but you can't argue with the video audio sync. I spoke to an advisor, he said the better the equipment the greater the value of premium cables. I was so impressed I ordered a cable for my Apple TV. I suggest you try it for youself, you can always return them. After trying them, I'm a believer. Pros: Definately improved video and audio sync and I'm convienced better overall picture quality Cons: Price.... but it was worth every penny
Best HDMI CABLE Written By Lawrence, Austin,TX on Friday, August 12, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Originally I purchased a $30.00 HDMI Cable for my new Sony Bravia TV it worked but I felt as though I could get a better picture if I spent more money and got a better cable. I contacted Crutchfield my go to source for all Audio/Video questions and purchases and they recommended Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cable. I was a little hesitant to spend that much and decided to wait. Still not happy with the picture on my tv. I went online and ordered the Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cable. I received it in just a few days and let me say that it made such a difference in the picture on my tv the difference was night and day. I am so glad I listened to Crutchfield and purchased this cable. Not sorry I spent the money. It was worth every penny spent.
HDMI Cable Delivery Written By Reg, Lowell,IN on Saturday, March 19, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I selected the cable from other sources for recommended use with a new HD TV It performed as flawlessly. The purchase price, informational processing and expedient delivery from Crutchfield was outstanding. I have no complaints.

Based purely off design I like Fennekin the best, will lose my **** if its another fire/fighting though, thankfully that looks unlikely. Not a fan of the names though, they'll likely grow on me in time, but if not hooray for nicknames.
NONE, Dunsparce looks better
Based purely off design I like Fennekin the best, will lose my **** if its another fire/fighting though, thankfully that looks unlikely. Not a fan of the names though, they'll likely grow on me in time, but if not hooray for nicknames.
I have to say that Froakie and Chespin intrigue me most out of the 3. Froakie is obvs. based off of a frog and chespin appears to stem from Chestnut and some sort of rodent species?
Everything came from the water and the earth. Time for a new adventure.
I'm going to wait and see the evolved forms before I jump to conclusions of who I'll use or like. Things changed for me when they revealed the BW starters evolved forms. But I adore Chespin, he's just adorable. Fennekin gives me the vibes that Snivy did when it was revealed, like trying to look awesome.
Yes that is a Female Dino Charge Red. It's a FanFic thing
Fennekin's adorable! Looks like I'm choosing the Fire Starter this time, regardless of its Stats.
I'm hoping Fennekin's a Fire/Psychic type. That'd make it the first starter with that Type combo.
I have claimed Alucard (Hellsing), Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji), and Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII).
Hellsing, Street Fighter, The Elder Scrolls, Dangan Ronpa, Bleach, Homestuck, Black Butler, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica fan.

Friend Safari: Ground (Wooper, Camerupt, and Palpitoad)
Same here. I've never chosen Tepig as my starter as I don't like Emboar at all.
Fennekin here looks interesting, it's the first fire type that's looked quite feminine (compared to others) Chespin and Froakkie look pretty cool, I'd have to see the other evolutions though first before I could make proper judgements.

Friend safari is Psychic (coincidentally). I have Abra, Gothorita, and Espurr.
I'm gradually warming to Froakie and slowly going off Chespin. Fennekin at the moment seems... well, it's a good design and all but I can't get Vulpix/Ninetails out of my head whenever I look at it.

Chespin doesn't seem like much to mee tbh. Fennekin looks awesome, and Froakie is cool. Don't mind what Froakie's evos will be, I'll start with the Water starter anyways, It's a tradition that I won't break. For my second playthrough as a female character, Fennekin is my pick, It just screams for a female trainer.
AS for typing: Chespin: Grass/Ground. Fennekin: Fire/Psychic and Froakie: Water/Fight or Water/Ground

I really like Chespin, wonder what happend to its tail, I sure will take this starter!
I think Froakie will become a frence frog-ish with a mustace and a beard ( what is awesome!)
Fennekin, I think will look beutiful, some majestic fox!
I actually like all three of the starters this time. Fav is probably Fennekin though and I'm most likely going to end up using it. Hoping it's gonna end up part psychic because it seemed to be using a psychic attack in the trailer...
For me, Chespin kinda looks like an otter, but I still like it none the less. Froakie seems to be very interesting. The two white spots almost make it look like its wearing glasses.
Spoiler:- Team Stuff:
I love them all three, but i can't help thinking of...
Guys something just ran a bell about the Fire Starters about something based on what PokeJungle mentioned (during speculation). The fire starters are based on Chinese Zodiac Animals. Charmander is based on the dragon, Cyndaquill is a rat, Torchic is a rooster, Chimchar is a monkey, Tepig is a pig and Fennekin is a fox but it maybe based on the tiger from the Zodiac (maybe it evolves into a tiger Pokemon). Just thought you would be interested.
Chespin looks really different, its face, arms, legs and tail don't seem to based on a single animal. I wonder how it will end up its evolution.
i think this might be the 3rd generation i start with the water starter first, cant wait to see what their evolved forms look like. and do u think theyll reveal anything new on pokemon smash or corocoro soon?
The inspiration behind Chespin is a chestnut and a hedgehog/porcupine. Both the Japanese and English (and French and German) names reference each.
Protect the King
I'm thinking Froakie is likely to become a sage-type character, or a wizard, what with the spectacles, white 'hair' and the fact that it looks like he's struggling to hear. Toss in the significance of frogs and the occult in Western folklore and the fact that 'Froakie' could potentially be a play on 'fogey' (as in, 'old fogey'), we may have a water/psychic on our hands.
I think Fennekin will be Fire/Psychic type... it really looks like it. but, really, as long as we don't have another Fire/Fighting starter, fine by me.
I will likely choose Froakie. seeing that we'll have Palpitoad (if the statue is anything to go by), I find it curious that we have two Water-type frogs in the same Dex.
Currently playing: Kid Icarus: Uprising, Wario Land 3
Waiting for: Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros. 4, Pokémon X / Y
Funny, because I was thinking that Kennekin's little extension on its hind legs reminds me of Virizion. Chespin reminds me of Oshawott because of how its expression, and how its body is sectioned and given different colors. At the moment I'm neutral about seeing them, though, brand new stuff but the design doesn't really get me excited for some reason.
The best evolutionary designs are brought about by a balance between change and consistency.

Rush Downriver U12B Nike Win Midland Invitational
Created on Thursday, 16 May 2013 12:24
The Michigan Rush Downriver BU-12 team won the 31st Annual Midland Invitational Tournament in the BU-13 White division.
This is the first season the BU-12 team is playing in the WSSL 13Y league and their 3rd 11v11 tournament this season. Since they played in a division with 7 teams the boys were guaranteed 4 games and the champion was crowned based on total points. The weekend, which happened to be over Mothers' Day, featured wild weather including rain, gusting winds and even hail during one of the games! The boys played their best game vs. the Michigan Tigers in the first game winning 3-0. We then played the host club Midland Fusion winning 4-3. On Sunday we faced the worst weather with high gusting winds and some hail with temperatures only in the mid to high 30s. The boys played Northland United, who were in 2nd place at the time, winning 2-1. For the last game we played a much larger Waterford Warriors team. This was the first game in which we trailed and there was concern that the boys had tired but they came back in the second half with 2 goals to go ahead before conceding a late goal in the final minute to win 3-2.
In the picture the boys are holding up the #1 for champions of the Midland Tournament but their coach is holding up the #3 as this is the teams' third tournament win this year (Bowling Green in the fall, Motor City Challenge indoor in the winter, and now Midland in the spring)!
The BU-12 team is:
Front Row: Austin Vianueva,
2nd Row: Nick Moody, Christian Drzyzga, Trevor Watters, Ben Church, Alex Arble, John Klein, Christian Cuevas, Matt Frost, Jacob Sawicki, Max Aston
3rd Row: Alex McKheen, Samir Tayeb, Austin Dukes, Hunter Pierell, Zack Porreca, Coach Vince Porreca

Son and his fiancee are coming. And we will have leftovers on Christmas for just the two of us. So with your help, I will select two Cabs for with this roast.
That sounds sooo good.

You should see the photos of Mother's prime rib on Facebook. Looks fantastic. Can't wait.
I've not personally had it, but the 2005 BV Dulcet Reserve looks like it might be a winner...

Thanks, unfortunately I have to live knowing that more of it is only 10 feet away... must ... not... take... more. It was totally worth the derisive looks from the plebes at Shoprite as I methodically went through the entire selection of roasts until I found one with good color and marbling ;)

I tried to see if I could get it at Costco since it was closer, but they would not let me in to see if they had it. As if I'm going to wait in line and pay for a membership for the privilege of seeing whether they even carry the item I want.
Tell them you are going to the pharmacy. They can't stop you. Also, someone once said you can buy liquor there without a membership

You have to get the best. We start at a small shop where the meat is always wonderful. As close to a local butcher as we can get. I try to follow advice from Bowtie when it comes to meat.
kylemittskus wrote:I got a Bunch of Cheer today with a letter, basically thanking me for my participation in the forums. Anyone else?
I got one on Friday, with a letter as well, but it seemed like a generic letter. It was printed, but done so using a "hand-written font". Mostly junk, but there was a nice Kelty bag in there.
Doing some comparative tasting between a 2009 Sextant CS and another offering from the same house; interesting. The '09 needs some air yet, or a venturi...
Were they cement shoes?
We are also having prime rib--bone in! We have 2, so I may do one on the grill, and the other in the oven with the convection roast feature. I've always done it on the grill, so using the oven will be a new experience. Now, to figure out a wine. Possibly a 99 Insignia. : )

Correct on the etoh.
Was going to try to stay up and start the pub with some sort of CS in there..but will try to get beauty sleep instead (and I need as much as I can get).

Depends on the state, as usual with alcohol. You can get to the pharmacy. They have their own register and they don't scan your membership card. Also you can just say you want to sign up and they will let you in.
I just woke my kid up from sleeping. Damn you Sparky. I couldn't go put her back to bed because I was laughing to hard.
Costco let us walk around the store to see what they had before we signed up for a membership. That is odd that they wouldn't let you browse.
If they sent to my normal wine address, I won't know til tomorrow when I drop by.

- Oscars 2013: Five ways to fix the telecast
The bigwigs in charge of Sunday's Oscar telecast have pretty much promised to blow our freakin' minds.
That's right. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the award-winning team behind "Chicago," claim they're going to stuff the show with more "wow" moments (i.e. song-and-dance numbers), more shiny stars (Look, it's Barbra Streisand!) and more suspense (Whom will Seth MacFarlane insult next?) than anyone can possibly imagine.
And by the end of the night, we'll all be welded to the couch, coated in orange Cheetos dust, and staring at our TV sets in slack-jawed wonder.
Or something like that.
Now, we hate to be a Billy Buzz-Kill, but haven't we been down this road before? Every year, someone has a bold plan to pump more life and/or youth into the Oscars. And every year, it seems, things go awry. The show is a snoozefest that sends ratings into a nose-dive and critics on a rampage.
Or did you forget that "innovative" move to have Anne Hathaway and James Franco serve as a two-headed host in order to make the show more hip? Well, Hathaway was game, but an inert Franco completely bombed.
And recall how Chris Rock was supposed to bring an exciting, irreverent edge to the stodgy affair. The result: Oversensitive movie stars had their egos bruised, and reviewers blasted Rock for being too snide and dismissive.
You just can't please 'em all.
There have been other mildly adventurous tweaks intended to keep the Oscars from feeling like a fossilized museum piece. One year, someone cuts out the garish production numbers. The next year, someone puts them back. There are efforts to tinker with the pacing, to reinvent the set, to curtail the lame patter between presenters, to jazz up those pretaped packages ...
On and on it goes, and when all else fails, someone inevitably gets the bright idea to pluck Billy Crystal out of the rest home.
So what is it that we want out of the Oscar telecast anyway? Well, we want some laughs, maybe a healthy dose of mockery. We want a few spontaneous, surprising and genuinely emotional moments. We certainly crave some star power, but prefer it if the stars keep the stifling sense of self-importance in check.
Oh, and we'd like it all to end before we have to get up for work. Is that too much to ask?
The problem, it seems, is that there is only so much control the host -- or even the producers -- have over the event. Rookie host MacFarlane, after all, can be as edgy and biting as he wants, but he can't put the kibosh on what has become the most grating element of recent Oscar telecasts: Winners who insist on forgoing candor and spontaneity and turn their acceptance speeches into long, monotonous laundry lists of thank-yous.
Meanwhile, outdated Academy requirements prevent Zadan and Meron from dumping those god-awful award categories that bore the heck out of viewers at home. Unlike the Grammys, which hand out only 10 or so awards on the air (while emphasizing live performances), the Oscar show is bogged down by 24 categories, including Documentary Short Subject and Sound Mixing. Be honest. When was the last time you were super excited to see a sound-mixer?
Speaking of the Grammys, which actually drew a bigger audience than the Oscars last year, they have a sense of joy and celebration that makes for good TV. Same goes for the Golden Globes, where the liquor -- and the jokes -- freely flow. Oscar, in comparison, has a stick up his rear end because of that sense of self-importance we mentioned. How can the celebrities really let loose when they go in believing this is the BIGGEST DEAL ON PLANET EARTH?
One other thing MacFarlane and the producers can't control: Viewership largely depends on the movies and stars who are nominated. Tis better to have a blockbuster like "Titanic" or a "Lord of the Rings" in the running than a "Slumdog Millionaire."
Along those lines, this year's show already has a few checks in the plus column, because the nominees include several movies that the American public actually paid to see. Movies that we didn't have to go Google.
Now, if we can only do something about that sound-mixing problem.

Highly Recommend It
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I live in northern NJ and bought this for the Oct-Apr part of the cycling season. It is a mid/light weight fabric and it's a useful part of the wardrobe, i.e., on a 45-degree day with wind, i put a thin base layer underneath and a windproof jacket with additional insulation over top, and everything is great. Quality is as good as you'd expect from this brand, fit is very snug and the design is stylish. So long as you're not expecting to put on only this jersey and go riding on a 40 degree day with a 20 mph wind, you'll be quite happy with it.
The go to long sleeve jersey

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is one of the greatest long sleeve jerseys i have ever worn. I love the fabric - feels windproof and has been great to temperatures in the HIGH 40'S.
I own it is three colors and love them all!
It was a tight fit like most Castelli product but i sized up. i always wear it with either a short or long sleeve base layer and its great.
