Dragon Claw: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, deals with Dragon types, like it better than Outrage. Overheat: Being the only special attack move means the recoil won't greatly cripple Rayquaza. High power, decent accuracy, deals with Ice, Bug, and Steel types. Extremspeed: Priority, good power, high accuracy. Rayquaza learnset movesets rayquaza asked Aug 16, 2010 by trachy edited Jul 1, 2011 by DarkTyphlosion Show 9 previous comments Alias, STAB stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. what is the nature, EV spread, and held item for this pokemon? This is good but personally I would change earthquake for Dragon Ascent despite the loss of defence Dragon pulse is better than dragon claw. Higher attack power. 85>80. Well, Dragon Pulse would be greatly affected by Overheat's SAtk loss. Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 18 Answers 14 votes I can honestly say, that this is EXACTLY the moveset I'd put on Rayquaza. It's got devastating STAB, earthquake for Steels, powerful priority, and Overheat for a powerful fire attack to deal with Ice-types, and Steel-types with Levitate/Magnet Rise (Here's lookin' at you two, Magnezone and Bronzong!). Like you said, the fact that it's your only Special attack makes the recoil pretty minimal, and is probably only going to be used in a pinch. There are no recommendations I can give. It's perfect! answered Aug 16, 2010 by ~-~WILL~-~ Thanks, and happy birthday for yesterday. Thanks bro! Isn't you birthday coming up soon as well? Like, REALLY soon? Yeah, tommorrow.

He clears out Kyogre's weather, then outspeeds the modest scarf set by 1 speed point. Hits hard with Thunderbolt. He later can clear out threats like Adamant Zekrom ( Still outspeeding by 1 point ^^ ) Modest Reshiram ( Same boat! ), or Dialga with Modest. The only dragons that I have to worry about are Palkia or a faster Rayquaza. Anyway, he outspeeds those threats to nail with STAB Outrage. Surf is for groudon leads. ( Once again, no sun is out due to Air lock ) While Earthquake is for general coverage. Takes out the seemingly rare Arceus-Electric, the ever so common Dialga, and let's me hit that troll Ferrothorn for some neutral damage. It's easily replaceable with a Fire move. Heck, I'll probably run this with V-create when it's released :D ( V-create > Earthquake that is. Keep in mind that Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Overheat are all still great choices for that slot. ) answered Feb 23, 2012 by Josh Its a good set but i think you should have a priority move like Extremespeed have it hold lum berry and you can avoid toxic, parahacks and burn. it also wont get confused.

Groudon created the Land. Kyogre created the Sea. What about Rayquaza? It created a whole new tier in Smogon. This thing is insane, all you need to do is use Dragon Dance once or twice (or Swords Dance once) and sweep. Dragon Ascent is as powerful as Outrage and it deals a ton of damage to everything not resisting it. Whats could be more badass than to fly to the heavens and smash into your enemies like a meteor? Delta Stream removes its flying weaknesses and leaves it only weak to Fairy, Dragon and Ice (2x) type moves. Earthquake is Earthquake. It kills Steels and that's what it does. Faster threats? Just ExtremeSpeed it in the face. Mega Rayquaza has transcended Ubers and gone to Anything Goes. A tier made just to house it. In other words, godmode. answered Jan 1 by X3Evanescence I like this because he doesn't need a stone to mega evolve, so life orb can be held. This thing's a beast!

Draco Meteor- This is the most powerful Dragon Type move and it takes care of your Dragon weakness, also the recoil lowers the Sp. Attack, and this is his only Special move and that he has a very high Sp. Attack to begin with and it has STAB Earthquake- Takes care of the Rock weakness and is an all-around great move Stone Edge- Takes care of your Ice weakness and has a high-critical hit ratio Outrage- Also takes care of the Dragon weakness, and is a very high power move with STAB I also have it hold a Persim Berry to cure it of being confused after using Outrage answered Jul 19, 2012 by magicjfan edited Jul 20, 2012 by magicjfan Roar of time is the most powerful dragon-type move!

Atk., is better to choose Sp. Atk. Rayquaza @ Wide Lens/Yache Berry Ability: Air Lock Nature: Modest (-Attack, +Sp. Atk.) -Dragon Pulse (The best Dragon Special Attack, to deal with Dragons, STAB) -Focus Blast (To break through some Rock and Ice types) -Surf (If Rock is paired with Ground, this will be x4 effective) -Flamethrower (If an Ice type is paired with Ghost, better use this) *I selected Sp. Atk. better becayse Rayquaza got better Special moves. But if you select Physical as better, try this better: Rayquaza @ Yache Berry/Lum Berry Ability: Air Lock Nature: Adamant (-Sp. Atk., +Attack) -Outrage (To deal with Dragons, best Physical Dragon move, Lum Berry will do the rest) -Brick Break (To deal with Rock and Ice type, also break walls) -Stone Edge (To deal with some more Ice types) -Earthquake (FEEL THE EARTHQUAKE, ROCK TYPES!) answered Apr 4, 2013 by VladyAndSamurott Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Rayquaza: choice specs Nature: timid Ability: air lock Evs: 4hp 252 sp atk 252 spd Draco Meteor Flamethrower/fire blast/earth power Focus blast/thunderbolt/surf Dragon pulse/earth power Now a specs rayquaza may seem odd, it has several unique features that make it notable. First of all, Rayquaza's movepool is exceptional. Second, with his ability and the appropriate move, can take on all weather starters, weather threats, and prominent Uber Pokemon. Third, it is highly unexpected, and highly unpredictable. Basically the recommended attacks are Draco meteor, the overpowered standard fare of most choiced special dragons. Next come fire blast and flamethrower, which take care of steel types, as well as abomasnow. Earth power hits dialga, heatran and tyranitar without the accuracy issues of focus blast. Focus blast is more steel coverage, and also takes out tyranitar. Now thunderbolt hits lugia an hooh, but more importantly nails kyogre. Surf gets groudon, Ttar and hippowdon. Finally, dragon pulse can provide STAB without the special attack drop. This guy loves a rapid spinner on the team, and as he will likely force Pokemon out, will enjoy hazard support. As such, forretress is a good teammate. Pokemon who can handle choice scarfed threats like kyurem white and kyogre, are also helpful. Remember this set is for niche uses, so don't just go throwing it on any team. answered May 11, 2013 by Dudeicolo Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes A good moveset you ask?

Focus Blast - Covers 2 weaknesses, and crazy power and a chance to lower the foes Sp.def. Earth Power - Large range of coverage, chance to decrease foes Sp.def. Rayquaza is an absolute beauty, this set is about coverage and decreasing the foes Sp.def, which is either useful and/or needed dependent on if you choose Draco meteor or Dragon pulse, your gonna have to choose between the two but either is fine. Rayquaza (physical set) @persim berry/choice scarf Adamant Proud of its power Atk and Spd EV's Outrage/Dragon Claw - STAB, crazy power, covers dragon weakness Stone Edge - great power, high critical hit ratio, coverage. Earthquake - great power, accuracy, coverage. Swords Dance/ Dragon Dance - sharply raises Atk, or raises Atk and Spd This set is also pretty good, covers all weaknesses and allows for a boost in Atk and/or Spd, really a power set, also if you choose Outrage, then pick the persim berry as your item, otherwise choice scarf to make for a dangerous sweeper. Rayquaza(Mixed set) @kings rock Jolly Likes to run Spd and either Atk or Sp.atk EV's Draco meteor - STAB, covers dragon weakness. Iron Tail/Head - coverage of weaknesses (including fairy). Earthquake - its Earthquake dude... Air Slash - STAB, decent power and decent chance to flinch the foe. This set is aimed for Rayquaza to be fast as heck and flinch the foe and just kill anything it crosses, because a dragon type move is hardly called for, Draco meteor works in this set for a powerful fast strike, plus the decrease in the Sp.atk doesn't affect the rest of the set, air slash is there just to flinch the opponent, and to handle Pokemon with the ability sturdy, this set is just there for competitive purposes, its is an annoying set to verse that does crazy damage and covers alot of types. answered Oct 10, 2013 by Draganaut Please log in or register to add a comment.

Carlisle mum left baby home alone to go out drinking
Published at 08:18, Friday, 02 March 2012
A young mum who left her baby home alone while she went out drinking in Carlisle has walked free from a court.
At the city's crown court, Judge Peter Hughes QC told the woman, who is in her 20s, that her actions had been "absolutely shocking" but he said that jailing her would not do any good.
At an earlier hearing the woman, from Carlisle, admitted a single charge of child cruelty.
Prosecutor Dick Binstead told the court how the woman was arrested at a pub in Botchergate last month after an incident.
As a result, shortly before 1am, she was taken to Durranhill police HQ and interviewed by officers. "At no time did she unequivocally tell the police that she had a young child left unsupervised," said Mr Binstead. "She did make the point that she needed to get home."
It was as the woman was being fingerprinted at 1.45am that she told the detention officer that she had left her child at home alone but then tried to retract the comment, claiming a relative was with the child.
Their suspicions aroused, the police officers then decided to investigate.
At 2.15am, said Mr Binstead, police went to the woman's home in Carlisle.
They found the child, who was aged under two, alone in an upstairs bedroom.
Fully clothed, the baby was crawling around on the floor, which was strewn with toys and carrier bags.
When police interviewed the mother she admitted that she had gone out between 10.30pm and 11pm, going into Carlisle and drinking a considerable amount of alcohol.
The woman was put on a 12 month supervision order, with a 15 week, electronically monitored, 9pm to 6am curfew.

A Celtic Tale: The Legend Of Deirdre (Narrated Version)
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
The idea for a narrated version of A Celtic Tale came from several sources, immediately after we released the recording of the music (H0S 11063). But who could do vocal and emotional justice to the dramatic text, not to mention pronounce all those guttural, consonant-laden Gaelic proper names?
The Music for A Celtic Tale was composed by Canadian brothers MYCHAEL and JEFF DANNA, both film scorers, as the soundtrack for an imaginary film of the beautiful and tragic medieval Irish legend of Deirdre. The score brings together the best elements of Celtic folk, symphonic, and ambient recordings, and sets a glorious new standard for popular Celtic music.
A wide array of Celtic folk instruments - fiddle, tin whistle and flute, guitar and mandolin, Uillean and Highland pipes, wirestrung harp, concertina and bodhran, with all their bite and pungent overtones - are here surrounded with the harmonic richness, color, and power of the orchestra. In a recording that abounds in outstanding performances, KRYSIA KOCJAN's powerful reading of the song "Lament," with original lyrics by John Stuart Dick, rings in the mind long after it is first heard. The soulful blasting of the highland pipes, flat out against the full strains of the orchestra is another highlight.
The Legend of Deirdre is a traditional Irish tale, at least a thousand years old, containing all the elements of similar myths from cultures around the world--magic, prophecy, beauty, fate, faith, romantic love, brotherly love, war, and transcendent death. Deirdre's great beauty - and fate - is foretold at birth, and ultimately there's no escape. Like Helen of Troy, her beauty provokes war.
Like other Celtic heroines, Deirdre is a provocative protagonist, able and empowered in both love and war, which are inextricably entwined in Celtic myth. Yet in the end hers is a tragic tale. Destined to marry a king, she nevertheless finds her true love. Inevitably the lovers are exiled, and when at last they return to their homeland, he is slain and she is imprisoned by the very king she was fated to wed. Thus the darker moments fully realize the depths of the epic battle between the forces of destiny and the struggle of the heroes, and finally, the inconsolate sorrow of love lost.

Before enrolling at CVTC, there are two entrance requirements that must be completed including the Inventory for Student Success (ISS) and the COMPASS exam. The ISS is a free, web-based questionnaire that gauges your confidence and attitude regarding your ability to do well at CVTC. Your answers help us better support you and your success at CVTC.

CVTC offers a wide variety of certificates and you can apply anytime throughout the year. There is no admission fee or entrance exam requirement to apply for a certificate. While our certificates are not eligible for financial aid, you may find other payment options by checking out our grants, scholarships, Veterans benefits, and payment plan.
Apprenticeships give you access to careers that are typically unavailable to those without experience, and build skills that are transferable from one employer to another and from one area of the country to another. They combine structured on-the-job training with related classroom instruction. CVTC offers 5 apprenticeships.

Used in Missy Elliott's track Work It. She refers to the fact that part of the chorus is sung backwards. However, given the emphasis on Elliot's butt in the song, "you make love to me from behind" is the likely meaning. The sexual meaning of the next line would then be "Watch the way Missy likes that kind of sex."
Yo, take it backwards, Missy!

Frankly, even though I don't typically use the fglrx drivers, I am disappointed in this move. For example, at the present moment doom3 is only playable with the arb render path with the open souce drivers and, even then, the performance is horrible compared to fglrx. quake4 is unplayable with the open source drivers due to a lack of support for decompressing s3tc textures on the card. libtxc_dxtn is available ( http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheideg...3tc_index.html ) but has issues with multitexturing on the r300 driver and makes nearly every texture in the game flicker. ut2004 also gains a huge speedboost from that library, but experiences the same problem.
While I have no problems with AMD creating a legacy driver package that gets updated to support new servers and kernels, I think it's quite foolish to stop supporting them in the binary drivers altogether. Any users of those games on r300-r500 hardware (which are perfectly capable of playing those games on fglrx with good quality and performance) will be left in the cold when it comes time to upgrade their X server or kernel.
Once those items get ironed out in the open source drivers, and the remaining issues such as power-management get resolved, I'm all for dropping the from catalyst.

Hello friends,
Dallas has been a great example of reaching into the toolbox and pulling out the right tool for the right job. With the passing of his beloved sister, this is no doubt a "hard job" that will require work and action - probably at a time when most people would be trying to find an easier softer way out of work. But the book says if the alcoholic "doesn't work, he will surely drink. And if he drinks, he will surely die. Then faith would be dead indeed. For us it is just like that."
I'm grateful for those words that Bill Wilson wrote. But there is more to that part in Bill's story. A couple paragraphs later he says:
"It is a design for living that works in rough going."
I can't speak for Dallas, but my guess is that he is probably grateful for that sentence, like I am. I'd say his circumstances in life over the past year definitely qualify as "rough going", yet he is doing exactly what Bill Wilson described that will allow the alcoholic to survive through those "certain trials and low spots" that lie ahead. If I take a minute to look at that passage again (go to the bottom of page 14 if you want to), I see something sort of "veiled" but it is "ominous".
Sorry for the big words here, but there isn't a better term to describe the "certain trials and low spots" to an alcoholic like me, other than to say something "ominous". Bill specifically used the word "survive". What is ominous about the whole message is that I will, without a doubt (he says "certain"), face trials and low spots. And if I'm not in the habit of enlarging my spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, I won't survive!. If I don't survive, that means I will die. So this whole part of the book gives me, the alcoholic, an ominous warning that I'm doomed if I don't continue to take actions that help others.
The only thing that will get Dallas through this "rough" spot in his life is ACTION that serves others where he must give of himself expecting nothing in return. What a challenge! To give of myself without expecting anything in return at a time that is so heart-breaking and tragic is definietely a tall order! But the book also says "For us it is just like that." That means that it is just as ominous for me as it is for Dallas, as it was for Bill Wilson, and any other alcoholic.
They say in this neck of the woods that sobriety and recovery according to the spiritual principles of AA "is a life and death" matter. I have no doubt because nothing in that "Big Book" is science fiction. It is pure fact backed up by experience.
Over the past week, I've also faced one of those certain trials or low spots - not along the same tragic lines as Dallas, but it was a life and death matter. The book also talks about "our adventures before and after" that "make clear" those 3 pertinent ideas about alcoholism (see "How it Works"). I wish I could say that was a lie, but that one still catches me - even though my life has been pretty serene over the years, there are still "and after" adventures - DANG! - that catch me off guard like early this week.
In a general way I'll say it like this. A threat was made against my life by a fellow who is a mean drunk that went on a 3-day bender. Now I already seen his loaded .357 magnum revolver that he carries because he asked me at another time if I could find him another one like that. He breaks into my house twice last weekend, and I chased him away and told him don't come back. He says he will be back to blow my head off - he says it with a smile because he knows I know he packs a 6-shooter. And if he don't kill me, someone else will, he says.
Well the calm world which was my life suddenly took on a different meaning - and I mean suddenly. There was no doubt in my mind that fellow was fully capable and motivated to carry out that threat. None whatsover, and the Police told me to take him seriously, too. I go to the sponsor, and my support group of guys I call regular. One of the guys is a former detective and works for the county prosecutor. I live in the city, not a suburb, and you want to know what everybody told me? You got to do whatever you have to do to defend yourself. The cop told me the same thing because "paperwork" dosen't stop a drunk or addict with a gun in the city.
So I did what they suggested. I took the actions to protect myself, and I went to meetings and carried on my life working the program of recovery with a 15-shot 9mm semi-auto holstered to my side - with "one in the chamber". The "matter of life and death" was a finger-click away - just a single little bitty switch called "safety".
Nine years ago, I put the same weapon now at my side to my own head. I had quit drinking, but I was an alcoholic with the untreated illness. What was the difference between then and today? Today I woke up and said a prayer, didn't take a drink, and helped another alcoholic. Nine years ago, I didn't have a prayer. I was advanced Grace. God as I now understand Him did not want me to take my own life back then. Just like he didn't want this drunk fellow to take my life this week either.
Now stop and think about this. Can anyone imagine the outcome of this if I was still drinking? Talk about not wanting to "think" about something! I don't even have to think about what would happen if I were drinking today - It's written in the book:
"If an alcoholic failed to enlarge and perfect his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could not survive the certain trials and low spots ahead."
Pretty ominous, huh? Without a doubt I can say "For us it is just like that." Now I also noticed in the book that "it is just like that" and not "it was just like that".
Well today, the "threat" has calmed. My weapon is not at my side today. The fellow called and apologized and promised he wouldn't do what he said. But he also had to ask me what he said and did because he couldn't remember - he was 3 days in a blackout. For a minute, I "wanted" to still be angry at the guy - after all didn't I have the right? But the feeling of relief taking that holster off just outweighed anything else.
I also thought about if I should ever "trust" the man again. Or should I back off and be more cautious? I was reminded at the spiritual level that I can do only two things: forgive him or not forgive him. There is nothing in between. The Power to forgive comes from God as I understand Him, but I also know that true forgiveness doesn't have any conditions. I can't begin to count the times I went to God while sober and sought forgiveness for something I screwed up. I got mercy and it was unconditional. To forgive but not forget is just another way of saying I don't forgive.
So it's back to square one and extending "that hand" of fellowship to the same drunk who wanted to kill me. I'll probably treat him to dinner over the holidays. I pray that fellow will one day want this beautiful life-giving gift that we have. His "survival" does depend on it whether he knows it or not.
Now isn't this the craziest set of "rules" we ever played by?
God bless all of you and remember Dallas in your prayers.
With love and respect,

Who still has the original 80386 machines around? As we know there are times when things come to an end and thus support for the old 386 is ending. It sure has been a great run though for Linux on the old machines though, considering that Linux kernel was born on that architecture.
It sure is a great time to do some spring cleaning on the kernel, so why not look at purging support for very old devices or at least mark them as Legacy within the tree so all it will take is a config option to turn on legacy device support for those rare cases there happens to be some old device or controller in a particular system

ENERGY GUEST BLOG -- JIM SAMUEL The Utica shale is more than a shale playBy JIM SAMUEL 4:30 am, October 9, 2012
Last week, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) released its first official estimates of the Utica/Point Pleasant shale play. The numbers were very positive for the energy and economic development outlook of the region. But as with many reports like this, it is often what you don't read that is most interesting.

Hi Pat....
What a handsome pheasant!
I'm just now starting to feel a little fall in the air in the mornings while riding my bike.
We'll be digging out those sweaters in no time.
Tell me....

Your fall vignettes look so beautiful, Pat. It's hard to believe that Labor Day is so close....and our temps are still so hot!! I always hate for summer to be over. . . but this year, I'm ready. The heat is really getting to me. . . and our electric bills. Your lake lunch also looks delightful!! I've never been to a Trader Joe's!
We had some really bad weather yesterday. . . most of the damage was north, but we had lots of rain and lightning last night. Glad for the rain. . . we needed it.

Pat! What an inspiration. This is the look I am aiming for on a chest in my dining room. I am so glad you featured this! It is gorgeous. I am even stripping and refinishing my piece of furniture. It has a lot more wood grain than this piece you have. I like yours better. But, I didn't know what I had till I took the paint off and that's the way it goes. I love your pheasant platter, the pumpkin, and the black lantern with the birch bark candle. Ohhh. I love fall. This is awesome.

If there was an OS concept for toasters, Mark would announce Canonical is working on a Ubuntu version for toasters too (called Tubuntu).
Phoronix: Ubuntu On TVs Gets Discussed
Mark Shuttleworth has pointed out that Ubuntu for TVs is being "hotly discussed" right now by developers...
If there was an OS concept for toasters, Mark would announce Canonical is working on a Ubuntu version for toasters too (called Tubuntu).
Hmm, it tasty bread-based snacks it seems that BSD is years ahead :
from ~2006
It's not quite as crazy as it sounds, most, if not all, LG TVs made in the last few years run on Linux. I didn't actually know that about mine until I flicked through the manual and noticed the GPL in the appendix. It is a far cry from Ubuntu though. I'm not confident that Ubuntu would be stable enough for a start.
If the TV had to be smart, I'd prefer Ubuntu over Android, for similar reasons as on the phone. You'll tear my dumb TV and phone from my cold dead hands though
A smart tv is a tv with a computer in it. Realize that, ha!
The things that are mentioned are also very welcome on non-tv devices.
What about media center pc's.
And I want to use my tv-card with remote control with any computer I want.
Which is technically also possible to do, thus it would be neat if that would be done.
I want these features on any pc, duh.Among the essential items is support for control via a remote control, cloud/remote storage, playback of physical media,
Ubuntu One account integration, push support from other devices, and support for controlling from portable devices.
2005 called, they want their BSD toaster back http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/0...netbsd-toaster

Choking is when someone can't breathe because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the airway (throat or windpipe).
This article discusses choking in infants.
Choking may result from a complete or partial blockage of the airway.
Permanent brain damage can occur in as little as 4 minutes when a person does not get enough air. Rapid first aid for choking can save a life.
Choking in infants is usually caused by breathing in a small object that the baby has placed in their mouth, such as a button, coin, balloon, toy part, or watch battery.
The danger signs of choking are:
Do NOT perform these steps if the infant is coughing hard or has a strong cry. Strong coughs and cries can push the object out of the airway.
If your child is not coughing forcefully or does not have a strong cry, follow these steps:
If the object does not come out of the airway after 5 blows:
If the child becomes unresponsive, stops breathing, or turns blue:
If an infant is choking:
Always call your doctor after a child has been choking, even if you successfully remove the object from the airway and the infant seems fine.

Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats will look to take this weekend series from the Marlins.
Happy Mother's Day, everyone. Hope all the moms out there have a wonderful day, whether at Nationals Park or elsewhere with family members.
I'll actually be spending this day with my wife and her family, so I'm skipping today's series finale against the Marlins. Figured it was probably a wise move, since I'm leaving town tomorrow morning for the week, making the first two legs of the Nats' road trip (New York and Colorado, skipping St. Louis).
The morning news from the ballpark, though, is that reliever Doug Slaten is having his contract purchased from Syracuse. The 30-year-old lefty dominated at Class AAA, not allowing a single run to score in 17 innings of work, while striking out 17 and only walking one. Pretty impressive.
Slaten's addition, though, requires the Nationals to remove someone from the 40-man roster. That someone is actually Matt Chico, who surprisingly has been designated for assignment. But before you get worried, I'm told this move is only procedural and that Chico will remain in the organization and actually be placed back on the 40-man roster within days. Not sure of the details how this works — I've never heard of something done quite this way — but I am assured it's all on the up-and-up.
So with that, I hope you enjoy the game. Feel free to converse with each other in the comments section, and I'll talk to you tomorrow from New York.
(Oh, and to the wonderful Lois Zuckerman of Scottsdale, Ariz.: Happy Mother's Day!)

Happy Mother's Day MarkMeister, to you and your family. Your mother has to be very proud of her son's successes.
- Carl in 309 - May 9, 2010 at 3:44 PM
Joining in the celebration of Mother's Day, and commending Mark for his wisdom. Enjoy the abbreviated road-trip (though sorry you won't be reporting from St. Louis).On the matter of the Nats roster moves, I find myself wondering if the skill and foresight (hopefully) exhibited by the Nationals front office in our new Rizzo era isn't one of the necessary three components needed for a successful MLB team (the other two are money and luck). Conventional wisdom has had it that money is the key to success. Clearly the example of the Mets on one hand and the As on the other should give pause to that view (I would also suggest that Red Sox have been competitive in spite of their income disadvantage compared with the Yankees in what was once one of the smallest parks (33K several years ago)). That suggests front-office smarts–particularly given the affirmative leadership of a Billy Beane–can play a compensating role in pushing a team forward beyond their financial means.I wonder if the Nats don't enjoy the prospect of putting two of my three legs of success forward at once: front-office smarts, championed by Stan Kasten, and engineered by Mike Rizzo; together with an eventual money making machine with future (re)grown attendance and a strong affluent fan base.As an aside, I just read an excellent book on umpires: Bruce Weber's "As They See 'Em"–after next yelling at a call, take time to pick up this remarkable insider/Plimpton-esque account of the third group of on-field players in baseball.

- Les in NC - May 9, 2010 at 6:16 PM
How does he do it?How/why is this year's Livan so incredibly better than previous years? What has changed in his mental approach or pre-game preparations that makes him so good?Whatever it is, here's to an entire season of it!Livan has already earned his salary by a long shot IMO! I hope his incentives are all vested by the end of the year (whatever they may be)!
- bumsfan4 - May 9, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Given our bullpen today, presumably with no Clippard and no Capps, Livo is eating innings and performing heroically.
- Les in NC - May 9, 2010 at 8:24 PM
another game coming down to the wire…Clipp did a great job only allowing the 1 (inherited) runner to score after the bases were loaded with nobody out. It could have been real bad….Now who wants to win THIS one for us?
- Les in NC - May 9, 2010 at 8:25 PM
I guess that would be the Hammer!It's Hammer time!
- Anonymous - May 9, 2010 at 8:45 PM
Anyone else think that Clip's stats might be a bit deceiving? He's inhereited 17 runners and allowed 9 of them to score and the only reason he has so many wins is because he's blown 4 saves! One has to wonder if Clip is more lucky than good…
- Anonymous - May 9, 2010 at 9:14 PM
@ 4:45, Clip's K/9 rate is ridiculously high, and that is considered to be the best predictor of future success, so no, I'm not sure his stats are that deceiving (although, wins are always a worthless statistic). Now, Livo, on the other hand…

Mark, what do you think of Tim Kurkjian's prediction of June 8 instead of June 6 for Strasburg?===Our colleague Tim Kurkjian is on record as guessing June 8, when the Washington Nationals will be at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and you know what? That date makes complete sense. There is one off day built into the Syracuse schedule this month, and I think they'll use that to give Strasburg a little extra rest. That would put him in line to pitch either on June 3 or June 8. The Nationals' game on June 3 is at Houston, and you'd have to believe Washington would want Strasburg's first game to be in Washington. By throwing the right-hander against the Pirates at home in a midweek game, they'll have a perfect storm for possible success in place: An enormous and welcoming home crowd and a subpar team on the other side of the field.
- greg - May 10, 2010 at 12:47 AM
another thought… david dejesus. he's a little older than i'd want to target, but… he's $4.5m this year, $6m option for next year. plays good defense, has bounced around a high 700s OPS for his career, and was 818/781 the last two years and 807 so far this year. plays all three OF positions…oh, and it's rumored KC has made him available.

Mark, It seems like every time you take a day off, something incredible happens in baseball. Last time, it was a no-hitter, today a perfect game.
- Souldrummer - May 10, 2010 at 3:03 AM
Hopefully, one of the positive tradeoffs of the independence that you've carved out for yourself is that you can take a day off for Mother's Day and not have to worry about what the boss says.

- Anonymous8 - May 10, 2010 at 12:24 PM
So Philly travels to Colorado and as their luck continues, they don't have to face Ubaldo Jimenez on this trip, and of course the Nats have to on Friday when the Nats are in Colorado.

Atta boy, Livo! Another nice win for the Nats.I had to go out after the game ended, so I missed the end of the Oakland no-no. I did see highlights later. Very moving footage of Braden and his grandma after the game. Oh, and just one word to A-Rod in light of his earlier comments re. a pitcher "with a handful of wins." 'Hah!' (you could look it up)

Re Kurkjian's speculation that Strasburg's first start in DC might be delayed due to an off day in the Syracuse schedule, he needs to take a closer look. The day after that off day there's a doubleheader due to a prior rainout, and Strasburg's regular turn falls on that day. He will need to pitch one of those doubleheader games unless they insert an extra pitcher in their rotation to give him a day off. And if one of the points of having him in the minors in the first place is to get him used to pitching every five days, why would they be giving him extra off days anyway? Forget the June 8th speculation. Get your tickets now for June 6th.

My quick take on the Strasburg speculation. I do think June 8 is a possibility. It would not be all that difficult for the Nats to push him back two days (even with that doubleheader in Syracuse). They'd throw a spot starter out there in a heartbeat, that's not a concern. The Nats are more concerned with setting up Strasburg to debut when it makes the most sense. A Sunday afternoon against the Reds would be fine, but a Tuesday night against the Pirates (the day after they possibly draft Bryce Harper No. 1) sure makes a lot of sense from a PR standpoint.I'll also say that in the last couple days, I've begun wondering whether it's possible he could be up before the end of May. If he dominates his first three starts at Syracuse, he would line up perfectly to start Saturday, May 22 against the Orioles. Not saying I believe that's the most-likely scenario, but I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibility.

Oh, and for the record, just in case Kurkjian's theory proves true, I wrote the following on March 8 in Viera, the day before Strasburg's spring training debut…"Some front-office execs have even gone so far as to extrapolate when the appropriate date for Strasburg's major-league debut might be. Let's see, if he pitches every fifth day from here on out … how does June 8 against the Pirates sound? Think that might turn an otherwise pedestrian Tuesday night on South Capitol Street into something a tad more significant?"

Mark,I was at this game yesterday, so I didn't hear any commentary there may have been on this issue. But Nyjer was playing CF in long pants yesterday. I've never seen him do that before. Any idea why the high pants and stirrups weren't on display yesterday?
- Mark Zuckerman - May 10, 2010 at 10:29 PM
Grant: I asked Nyjer about it and he said he wears long pants only on Sundays. Compared it to Tiger Woods always wearing red on Sundays. Though, considering the Nats wear red socks, it would make more sense if Morgan wore long pants all week and then rolled them up to show off his red socks on Sunday. But what do I know about fashion?

Leftover Turkey Recipes & Leftover Chicken Recipes (Slide 14)
Lots of good ideas to use up leftover turkey, but here in the north, it is pretty cold when we have leftovers and no one wants to eat a cold salad or sandwich at dinner. More warm meal ideas would have been better. — Anonymous |

Chicken can always be substituted for Turkey. I even use it instead of beef at times. — Anonymous |

This should have been geared more towards turkey ideas as opposed to it being mostly chicken dishes — Anonymous |
