2015 Washington Nationals Over Under Win Total Analysis
- Updated: February 19, 2015
Unlike the American League, the three division winners in the National League seem like a foregone conclusion and everybody else is just playing for a wild card spot. The Washington Nationals are one of those three division winners. After signing Max Scherzer to a huge free agent contract, the Nationals look like a runaway winner of the NL East with probably the best starting rotation in Major League Baseball. Their lineup isn't too shabby either. General manager Mike Rizzo is going for it and the baseball world has taken notice.
What do you do for an encore when you win 96 games and claim the division title by 17 games? Winning a playoff series would help. Dating back to the days of the Montreal Expos, the Expos/Nationals franchise has won one postseason series in 46 seasons of existence. The Nationals won the NL East for the second time in three years and they were bounced in the NLDS by the San Francisco Giants in four games.
The Nationals were very good last season, but it may not be a surprise that they weren't able to hold their own in the postseason. The Nats were 73-43 against teams with losing records last season. They were just 23-23 against teams .500 or better. Washington was 28-10 against the Mets and Marlins en route to a 45-31 record against NL East foes. They were 11-2 against Colorado and Arizona with a 24-9 mark overall against the NL West. Furthermore, against an NL East-heavy schedule in September, the Nats went 19-8 with a +25 run differential.
That's not meant to take anything away from the Nationals. All you can do is beat the teams on your schedule, but the Nationals certainly caught the rest of the division at a terrible time in September to run away and hide in the East and pad their record and run differential statistics. Is the same going to be possible against improved Mets and Marlins clubs? Can the Nationals live up to the preseason hype?
Oddsmakers have certainly taken notice of the talent on the club. At BetOnline, the Nationals have to win 94 games to go over the total. At 5Dimes, Washington is tasked with winning 94 games, and Bovada is asking for the same thing. That's a huge number.
Key additions: Max Scherzer, Dan Uggla, Heath Bell, Yunel Escobar, Casey Janssen
Key losses: Asdrubal Cabrera, Adam LaRoche, Tyler Clippard, Scott Hairston, Nate Schierholtz, Ross Detwiler, Ryan Mattheus
It's a huge number because the Nationals added Max Scherzer to an already spectacular rotation. Scherzer signed a seven-year contract that will pay him over 14 years. Half of the contract is deferred, which was a surprising development, but Mike Rizzo has a great relationship with Scherzer's agent, Scott Boras. The Nationals have several Boras clients including Stephen Strasburg, Jayson Werth, and Bryce Harper, so the working relationship is why the Nationals were able to win the Scherzer sweepstakes.
Dan Uggla could wind up being an interesting player for the Nationals. He was diagnosed with Oculomotor Dysfunction, a condition in which a past concussion affects eye sight when the head is moving. Uggla never made great contact, but he went from striking out around 22 percent of the time to striking out nearly 30 percent of the time. He hit 22 home runs as recently as 2013, so there could be some big bounce back value in him.
The same can be said for former closer Heath Bell, who has a track record of success. Yunel Escobar was the return for trading away Tyler Clippard, one of the game's best relievers over the last several seasons. Casey Janssen was a late, low-risk signing to add some bullpen depth. Janssen was the former closer for Toronto.
The Nationals lost some starting pitching depth with the Detwiler trade with Texas, but they have plenty of that to go around. Schierholtz and Hairston were platoon players. Asdrubal Cabrera played well at second base after he was acquired from the Indians near the trade deadline, but he left for Tampa Bay in free agency.
LaRoche is the biggest loss for the Nationals. He hit 26 home runs with a .362 on-base percentage and a .356 wOBA. He signed with the Chicago White Sox in free agency.
Why bet the over?
This starting rotation is the best in baseball. There are no weaknesses and Tanner Roark is waiting in the wings if somebody gets hurt. Roark was a three-win pitcher last season. You know a rotation is ridiculously good when either Gio Gonzalez or Doug Fister is the fifth starter.
Let's start with Max Scherzer, the prized free agent pickup from the Detroit Tigers. Scherzer returns to the NL after posting some incredible numbers with the Tigers. In five seasons, Scherzer was 82-35 with a 3.52 ERA and has thrown at least 214 innings in each of the last two seasons. He has 1,081 strikeouts in 1,013 innings pitched over the last five seasons and a Cy Young Award. The control problems that Scherzer fought with early in his career seem to be gone and he put up those excellent stats with some terrible defenses behind him.
I've often said that Jordan Zimmermann is the best pitcher on the Nationals staff and that was the case last season. The impending free agent was 14-5 with a 2.66 ERA and a 2.68 FIP. He was a five-win pitcher and he walked 3.6 percent of the batters that he faced. He has been a guy that has outpitched his peripherals in each of the last three seasons and it's safe to say that he might be one of the lucky few that wind up being exempt. He elevated his strikeout rate last season to a career best of 22.8 percent and lowered his home run rate to a career low. Zimmermann showcased impeccable command with his fastball and he should be penciled in for another great season with free agency and a huge payday on the horizon.
Stephen Strasburg doesn't get the respect that he deserves because he came to the Majors with impossible expectations to live up to. He was supposed to be the next coming of Bob Feller or a right-handed Clayton Kershaw. He's a reliable four-win pitcher with a tiny bit of a home run problem, but he posted the best walk rate of his career last season and his strikeout rate went up. Strasburg proved his durability last season with 34 starts and 215 innings three years removed from Tommy John surgery and the sky is the limit for him if he can miss a few more barrels. If his HR/FB% regresses to league average, he is projected to post an ERA between 2.50 and 2.75.
Gio Gonzalez has been a three-win pitcher in each of the last six seasons, including one spike up to 5.1 fWAR in 2012. With Zimmermann, Strasburg, and now Scherzer, Gonzalez will probably be an afterthought. He dealt with some shoulder soreness last season, but he has made at least 32 starts in the previous four seasons. His walk rate is under control now, but not at the expense of his strikeout rate. Gonzalez is the league's best #4 starter and there's no question about that.
Mike Rizzo committed larceny when he pulled Doug Fister away from the Detroit Tigers. Fister's due for some regression off of last season's 2.41 ERA, but Fister's season got off to a late start due to an elbow problem in Spring Training that limited his velocity. Regardless, he let hitters put the ball in play and they put it on the ground at a 49 percent clip. He had a 3.93 FIP and a 3.85 xFIP and dropped severely in wins above replacement player, but better health in Spring Training should allow him to prepare for the season in the manner that he's used to and another three-win season isn't out of the question if the strikeouts return and the walk rate stays low.
The Nationals rotation has the potential to be worth somewhere around 20 wins. Not many teams are going to come close to that level of projection and, as mentioned above, Tanner Roark is no slouch as a sixth starter in this rotation. This is, hands down, the best rotation in baseball.
As mentioned, the lineup is pretty good, too. Four different players accumulated at least 3.8 wins for the Nationals, led by Anthony Rendon's breakout season. Rendon slashed .287/.351/.473 with 21 homers, 17 steals, and 111 RBI. The offensive breakout was great, but his tremendous performance at third base allowed the Nationals to move Ryan Zimmerman to first base. The power production may not return, but Rendon is a very valuable player, both at the hot corner and in the batter's box.
Jayson Werth reached base 39.4 percent of the time thanks to a 13.2 percent walk rate and a .292 batting average, slightly inflated by a .343 BABIP. Werth was the Nationals offensive MVP with 16 home runs and that spectacular on-base percentage. He wasn't a killer defensively and wound up being worth nearly five wins.
The Nationals probably won't be able to keep Ian Desmond after the season, but the shortstop is in a contract year and that could mean a bump from his .255/.313/.430 slash. Desmond hit 24 home runs and stole 24 bases, which made him a tremendously valuable offensive player in the real world and the fantasy baseball world. He should be able to replicate that performance this season and could even spike upward with the promise of a huge payday next winter.
Bryce Harper is ready to put it all together. Injuries have limited him to 218 games and less than 900 plate appearances over the last two seasons, but the talent is there and clearly visible. Harper struck out too much last season and saw a drop in power while he butted heads with manager Matt Williams. Harper still has 30 homer potential and a return to his plate discipline marks from 2013 would represent a huge upgrade in his overall production. Watch out for Harper to really bust out this season.
Dependable players like Denard Span and Wilson Ramos leave the Nationals will very few, if any, weaknesses in the everyday lineup. Yunel Escobar is probably the biggest question mark on the offensive side of things, but there's not a lot of pressure on him while hitting eighth in this lineup. This is a really good lineup with some guys capable of improving.
The bullpen no longer has Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano, but there's still a fair amount of talent back there. Drew Storen should open the season as the closer, with dependable arms like Craig Stammen and Jerry Blevins in middle relief. Casey Janssen and Heath Bell are former closers that could find success in setup roles for the Nationals to help bridge the gap to talented strikeout artist Aaron Barrett and Storen. Blake Treinen may be stretched out as a starter, but he can hit triple digits and keep the ball on the ground, so there's promise in him as a starter.
Why bet the under?
It's a stretch to find practical flaws with the Nationals, but this is a really high amount of games to ask a team to win for a win total. Anything can go wrong and an injury situation like what happened to the Texas Rangers isn't all that out of the ordinary.
With that hypothetical out of the way, let's try to find ways to pick this team apart. For starters, the Mets and Marlins project to be better and they are "lite" versions of the Nationals starting rotation. The Nationals are expected to do so well and run away with the division so easily that complacency could be an issue, especially against teams that the Nationals dominated last season.
Gio Gonzalez has dealt with some shoulder trouble in the past and Doug Fister had the elbow problem last season. Stephen Strasburg is a former Tommy John recipient. There are some injury risks, as there are with all pitchers, but the vaunted Nationals rotation would look a lot different with Tanner Roark and Blake Treinen or Taylor Jordan in it. When teams have a win total in the mid-90s, there's not a lot of margin for error because it requires about a 58 percent winning percentage.
There are some regression candidates on the offensive side of things. As mentioned above, Anthony Rendon's power output is a bit of a question mark. Some Nationals definitely benefitted from good batted ball luck. Jayson Werth's .343 BABIP will come down some and Ryan Zimmerman's .313 could also be a candidate for regression. Ian Desmond's .326 is a bit above the usual range, as is Rendon's .314.
Speaking of Zimmerman, he was limited to 61 games and 240 plate appearances last season, so injuries are definitely a factor with him once again. They might be mitigated by playing first, but that also limits the value of Zimmerman's slash line because first base tends to be a better offensive position than third base. League-wide, first basemen posted a .328 wOBA. Third basemen checked in at .316.
The Nationals bullpen worries me in a big way. Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano were proven commodities. Drew Storen pitches to more contact than both of them did and trying to find value in former closers in middle relief doesn't work out very well historically. Their middle relief is shaky and the bridges to Storen are really shaky. It should be mitigated a bit by the length that the Nationals rotation can provide, but it's clearly the weak link of the team.
Pick: Over 93.5
You knew this was coming. This team is a World Series favorite with good reason. The starting rotation is completely stacked with talent. The lineup is a great mix of veteran players and talented youngsters with development left. The Nationals have a terrific team and they're going to run over the NL East again this season. The nice part is that the Nationals will probably be fighting for home field advantage in the playoffs once they clinch the division title, so it should keep them playing hard throughout the season.
There are no weaknesses in the lineup or the starting rotation. The bullpen has to cobble together enough decent innings to be league average, but it's hard to see very many close games if everything goes according to plan with the starting pitchers.
This is the year that the Nationals get over the hump and win a playoff series. I don't know what happens when they square off against the Dodgers in the NLCS, but I can't wait to find out.
The Washington Nationals fell well short of expectations last season. Bryce Harper, Wilson Ramos, and Jayson Werth all missed significant time and that really took its toll on the offense. Ryan Zimmerman, Stephen Strasburg, and Dan Haren all had 15-day stints on the disabled list. The problem for the Nationals was that Werth went out right as Zimmerman came back and Harper and Ramos went down around the same time in late May while Werth was still out.
There aren't many teams built to withstand injuries in succession like that and it definitely had an impact on the season. The Nationals scored less than 100 runs in each of April and May, averaging just 3.5 runs per game. In the final four months of the season, the Nationals averaged 4.3 runs per game, but by the end of May, the Nationals were already 4.5 games out and a series loss to the Braves put them 6.5 back on June 2. They would get no closer than four games out and a 2-11 stretch bookending the All-Star Break pretty much eliminated the Nationals.
The Braves dominated the season series against the Nats with a 13-6 record and held the Nationals to just 49 runs in 19 meetings. The final gap in the NL East standings between the two was 10 games, but those 19 meetings went a long way in dictating the division race.
What we saw from the Nationals in August and September may be a good indicator for the 2014 season. The Nationals ended the year with a 34-20 mark over their final 54 games and scored 4.7 runs per game once everybody was healthy. The door certainly swung wide open for the Nationals when Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy were sent under the knife for the second time to have Tommy John surgery. The Braves responded by signing Ervin Santana, but one has to assume that the Nationals are entering this season expecting to be better in the season series and with a serious amount of focus. They were going to anyway, but their chief rivals are vulnerable and that always takes things up a notch.
One thing that will have to change for the Nationals is their performance against good teams. The Nationals feasted on bottom feeders last season with a 62-35 mark against teams under .500. That means that they were just 24-41 against teams with a .500 or better record. Consider that the Nationals were 17 games over .500 against the Mets, Marlins, and Phillies and that partially explains the record against bad teams. Those teams might be better, but they're still going to be below .500, so things are shaping up for the Nationals.
Oddsmakers believe that as well. 5Dimes.eu, BetOnline.ag, and Bovada.lv all have 89.5 posted for the Nationals with heavy juice on the over. The lowest juice is -130 at 5Dimes right now. BetDSI.eu has the total at 90 with -120 on the over. The market has pushed this number up, both because of the potential and the high ceiling that the Nationals have, but also because of the tough month of March for the Braves.
Key additions: Doug Fister, Jerry Blevins, Nate McLouth, Luis Ayala, Mike Gonzalez, Kevin Frandsen, Jose Lobaton
Key losses: Robbie Ray, Ian Krol, Dan Haren, Steve Lombardozzi, Fernando Abad
The mark of a good team is one that focuses on adding depth in the offseason. That's exactly what the Nationals did, with the exception of the Doug Fister trade with the Tigers. Fister slots nicely into the spot vacated by Dan Haren. At the cost of a matchup lefty, a mid-ceiling prospect starter, and a utility infielder, the Nationals seem to have made a very good trade there.
The Nationals were blindsided by injuries last season and lacked quality depth. Guys like Tyler Moore, Danny Espinosa, Roger Bernadina, and Chad Tracy hit .222 or less with over 130 plate appearances. Lombardozzi posted a 69 OPS+ over 307 plate appearances in various fill-in roles and at second base before Anthony Rendon was called up. Guys like Frandsen, Lobaton, and McLouth are important pieces to the puzzle when most of the puzzle is completed. Major League quality depth is a good thing. In Lobaton's case, Kurt Suzuki was brutal at the plate when Ramos was out. Lobaton is both a better hitter and better defender.
Similarly, the Nationals needed some bullpen depth. Jerry Blevins and Mike Gonzalez will replace Ian Krol as the team's second matchup lefty throughout the season. Luis Ayala will fill the void left by the trade of Fernando Abad.
Why bet the over?
The sky is the limit for this team. The offense is extremely talented and nearly all eight positions can expect above average offensive production. The only questions are at first base and in center field. Adam LaRoche was slightly above average last season with a 103 wRC+ and Denard Span was slightly below average with a 97 wRC+. Other than those two, who really aren't that bad anyway, this lineup is stacked.
Beginning with one of the game's weakest offensive positions, Ian Desmond is one of the most valuable offensive shortstops in the game. Desmond's career path has given credence to the long-time argument that power is the last thing to come. After hitting 22 home runs over his first 1,275 plate appearances, Desmond has posted back-to-back 20+ HR seasons. He has also stolen 21 bases in each of the last two seasons. Desmond doesn't walk, but his speed allows him to have a BABIP north of the usual .290-.310 range that players fall into. Depending on what fielding metric you subscribe to, Desmond is either slightly above or slightly below average, but the fact remains that his defense doesn't detract from his offense.
Offensively, Ryan Zimmerman had the type of season people have come to expect. He hit 26 home runs with an OPS above .800 and walked slightly more than average. What zapped some of Zimmerman's value was his poor showing in defensive metrics that measure range. It's hard to say if this is a disturbing trend or not, but give Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt entering his age-30 season, especially since he won't turn 30 until late September.
As far as corner outfielders go, the Nationals might have the best tandem in the league with Jayson Werth and Bryce Harper. Both guys missed more than 40 games with injuries and still accumulated 8.4 combined fWAR. Both players draw walks at a well above average rate and both guys have 25+ home run power. If these two stay healthy in 2014, 10 combined fWAR is a distinct possibility and that would have to be near the top of the league for corner outfielders.
Wilson Ramos has shown so much potential in his injury-shortened Major League career, but his body has not cooperated. Ramos hit 16 home runs in just 303 plate appearances last season. Two long trips to the disabled list limited him to just 78 games. If healthy, Ramos can be a three-win catcher for the Nationals, giving them yet another above average full-time player in the lineup.
Anthony Rendon is this year's player to watch. Rendon will turn 24 in June and his path to the big leagues was quickened as a result of being drafted out of Rice University at the age of 22. The former sixth-overall pick showed decent pop last season and, most importantly, put the bat on the ball in his first full season. Second base is a weak position to begin with, so as long as Rendon performs average with the glove and bats .270 with 15 home runs, he'll be in the upper half of second basemen league-wide.
There aren't many holes in the lineup and as good as that is, the starting rotation may somehow be better. The top four in the starting rotation were all drafted in the first, first, second, and seventh rounds, which tells you about the kind of talent this group possesses. Obviously the sexiest name is Stephen Strasburg, the former San Diego State Aztec who has no problem lighting up a radar gun. Strasburg was just 8-9 last season, but that's an example of why win-loss record is a terrible way to gauge a pitcher's performance. Strasburg struck out over 26 percent of opposing batters and posted a 3.00 ERA, a 3.21 FIP, and a 2.88 SIERA. He is a legit front of the rotation arm.
Gio Gonzalez and his devastating curveball did what he usually does and won't stop doing. Gonzalez threw over 195 innings for the fourth straight season with a 3.36 ERA and a 3.41 FIP. His 2013 season was more indicative of his true ability than his 2012 season, so the mild regression was not surprising. Gonzalez has been consistently solid for four straight seasons and that's not going to stop now at age 28 with a September birthday.
While Strasburg and Gonzalez have the gaudier profiles, it's the elite command of Jordan Zimmermann that made him the most valuable (from an fWAR standpoint) pitcher for the Nationals last season. Zimmermann walked 40 batters in 213.1 innings. His 4.6 percent walk rate was good enough for ninth overall, behind guys like Cliff Lee and Bartolo Colon and ahead of Clayton Kershaw and Hisashi Iwakuma. Pinpoint control allows Zimmermann to be effective without the high strikeout rates associated with ERAs and FIPs like his. It helps that he throws 94, but the command and pitch mix from Zimmermann has led to an increase in ground balls and more pop ups over the last two seasons.
Doug Fister will miss time early in the season due to a lat strain, but when he does return to the rotation, he'll fit right in as he boasts a similar control profile to Zimmermann with a higher ground ball rate. Luckily, the Nationals have some depth with Tanner Roark and Taylor Jordan, both to fill out the #5 spot and to fill in for Fister.
The bullpen is also a strength with Rafael Soriano in the closing role and one of the game's most elite setup men in Tyler Clippard. Soriano recorded over 40 saves for the second straight season. Clippard has been ridiculously reliable over the last four seasons with 296 appearances, elite strikeout rates, and great splits against both types of hitters as a lefty out of the pen. Drew Storen had a rough year as he ran into some regression, but he should bounce back as there were some anomalies in his peripherals and some bad luck with balls in play. The pen is deep as well with a second, or even third, lefty, Luis Ayala in a veteran role, and guys like Craig Stammen and Christian Garcia.
Why bet the under?
Any win total over 90 can be precarious because it takes a lot of things going right and falling into place to sustain that level of performance over a 162-game season. A simple four or five-game losing streak can drastically alter the team's pace. That's just an inherent risk with any high win total and not an indictment of the Nationals in any way. It's always important to consider how hard it is to win 55 percent of the games over a six-month season.
There were some concerning developments during 2013 for the Nationals that aren't likely to go away. The most obvious centers around closer Rafael Soriano. Yes, Soriano had good standard numbers with 43 saves and a 3.11 ERA. But, take a deeper look and you'll see a pitcher that experienced a velocity decline and a sharp drop in strikeouts. Soriano's slider became a much less effective pitch even though his cutter was more successful. It's certainly something to watch for.
Not only does Doug Fister's recent lat strain affect the team's starting pitching depth, but it has allowed people to forget about how Fister had elbow inflammation earlier in the Spring. The Nationals were the only team in baseball to have four starting pitchers throw 150 or more innings and not make the playoffs. Strasburg, Zimmermann, and Gonzalez are clearly good enough to carry the load, but having a reliable, above average fourth starter is extremely beneficial. The lat strain to Fister may not be a big deal, but the elbow inflammation may be down the road.
Pick: Over 89.5 (-130, 5Dimes)
It's hard to find things to dislike about this Nationals ballclub. The fact that the team was able to focus solely on depth this offseason is an indication of how good they truly are. Teams that only need to plug in replacements in case of injury or late-inning defensive changes are in that position because of the talent in the everyday lineup or among the regular pitchers. Between the Braves pitching injuries and three teams that should finish well below .500 in the NL East, the Nationals are in a prime position to win a lot of games.
While saying that a player is "average" sounds like a bad thing, take a look around the league and look at how many below average players play every day or play key roles on a team. The Nationals are average or better at all eight defensive positions and have four above average starting pitchers with Fister healthy. That wins a lot of ballgames. They also have a solid bullpen, especially with the setup guys.
The NL has a chance to be very top-heavy this season with the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Nationals winning well over 90 games. Don't be afraid of the juice here. This team is in much better shape than it was last season and should surpass this number comfortably.

The Top Ten
1Daryl Dixon
Definitely the perfect person for the Apocalypse. He knows how to survive, fight, kill, and doesn't need other people to help him. What really makes him perfect though, is the fact that he isn't helping other people, smart enough to take orders and not sides, and work as a team with the rest of the characters
He's a character that really changes throughout the seasons he starts off a lot like his brother but over time he changes into a nicer person! He's a really complex character that I have laughed and cried with! He gets funny 1 liners and some badass scenes like pulling an arrow from his stomach to shoot a walker! And there is the potential for a relationship with carol (another great character)! I just hope do much he won't get killed in season 4 like the writer is implying I'm praying its not goodbye daryl if it is no one watching will have a dry eye!
Daryl is one of those guys that plays the perfect role. He's tough, he acts as if the apocalypse is nothing new, and he goes out there with worrying and does his best. Has great survival skills and cares, (you can tell he cares by how much work he put into trying to find sophia)

2Rick Grimes
Good guy, marksman and a great father I couldn't think of a better character if I tried and if you think about how he has progressed of the seasons from being; season 1 a badass season 2 a leader and season 3 he shows his emotional side after losing so much and gaining so little.
For some reason Rick's a lot more interesting in season 3. Maybe its cause he actually has a reason to be so miserable now :P
He's the main character and always been there for them & is the leader & been through more then anybody had to do. like kill shane, raise 2 children by himself, and lost his wife, and he risk his life for anybody in his group.
[Newest]He's very caring, a great dad and a wonderful leader. I sure someone else could have been the lead, but he's been there since day one looking out of everyone and helping where needed!
3Glenn Rhee
At the beginning of the series Glenn always risked his life for the group and had the most upbeat nature. I felt in series 3 he got worse because of always having to worry about Maggie. I just wan't Glenn back to how he was in season 1 and 2.
Ever sense the beginning of the show, glenn has always been the kind of guy I would want to survive with. He is also, in my opinion, one of the best characters on the show, simply because of his development. Oh, and then there's the scene where he kills the zombie with the chair, making anything darrl has ever done look about as badass as cuddling with teddy bears.
He's a sneaky beast
[Newest]He is willing to give EVERYTHING. He is a fighter and does everything for those he loves.
She's the most badass girl on this whole show. I like how she's the strong but silent type. She can also be very funny and sweet (when she got Carl his picture back). How badass is it that she carried two walkers on chains and slices their heads off with a ninja sword?! The best character by far.
A girl. Good guy. Mysterious. Smart. Intuitive. Bad-ass. What more could anyone possibly want you in a favorite character.
This is my number one favorite character! When I first saw her I became interest in her as my favorite character and when she showed her full appearance and I saw her with her two zombies (do you guys know those two zombies with her are her boyfriend, Mike and Mike's best friend). But also I saw she has madly skills of her katana and good fighting skills. When she met the governor and the people took her katana away she ask the governor to give back her katana and she never leaves without her weopen that is her katana. But I am actually saw when she fights the governor I was madly happy that she stabbed the governor in the eye. That's talent! You can't mess with this girl, she is really good to kill and fight off against anyone who is in her path!
[Newest]She's my second fave. I ❤ Daryl. He's so awesome.More comments about Michonne
5Hershel Greene
He's got a pretty dope beard.
He's an asset to the team without him there is no medic
He's the new voice of reason.
[Newest]I miss him on the show and they way he got killed in front of his 2 daughters was CRAZY! He needed to last in the show a little bit longer to see how he could have survived!
6Merle Dixon
Merle was my favorite character because his whereabouts and whether he's dead or not is unknown. This is a mystery in the rest of season one and all of season two but even though it took him sol long to return, he wasn't forgotten about because of the fact that his brother was in the group and someone would mention him every now and then. His return was a shock and he also had a knife on his arm, which I think was the most badass weapon on the show. The way he went out was heroic and sad for a lot of people because they just started to like him. I've always liked him but was glad to see him go just was hoping it wouldn't be this soon.
Merle was the most interesting character to watch in The Walking Dead It's a real shame he's gone, and just when he started to be the hero!
He was killed off too soon. The character had so much potential to become so much more. By far my favorite character on the television show.
[Newest]The brother of Daryl more badass though
7Carol Peletier
Carol is my favorite character in my opinion because she has become the strongest person in the group, not physically but emotionally. I thought she would never cope with the loss of her daughter but she used that sadness and uses it to make her stronger.
Great overall character and has turned into a real badass.
The most consistently developed character in the entire series thus far. A capable, empowered female character, the last original female survivor of the entire series from the season 1 Atlanta Camp group and the last remaining survivor of her immediate family. A domestic abuse victim and frail woman turned total firm decision maker, vigorous survivor and total leadership material all in just 4 seasons. Amazingly portrayed and iconic! Carol!
[Newest]Carol has had the biggest evolution on this show. She came from an abused house wife to a strong leader. She can take care of herself and does things for the best of her group. She has a nurturing and badass element to her. Carol is the best!More comments about Carol Peletier
8Maggie Greene
I love her, almost as much as I love her love interest Glenn. She can kill walkers, take care of Judith, all while remaining feminine and kind-hearted. She's cool and I can't wait to see more of her.
Love how she is open to being a fighter.
Strong, Tough and beautiful. She is a force to be reckoned with. Love Maggie, one of the best characters.
[Newest]She's a fighter and a good Team player
9Carl Grimes
This kid is only like 12 and he acts more grown up than anybody else in the entire group.
Why the hell would you try to spoil the whole show for everyone? It's great that you read the comics, but you can leave the endings to yourself.
He's just an amazing character, and how much he has grown I just find him to be an amazing character and the fact he was able to shoot his mother and come back from it I must applaud, and the responsibility he has at such a young age I just think he deserves the votes
[Newest]Carl needs to stay single
10The Governor
He was the most compelling character on the show. I can't remember an episode he appeared in where every moment he had on screen didn't fascinate me. I'd kill him on sight in real life, but I find I really miss his presence on The Walking Dead. He was just so unpredictable. It's a rare villain that can both garner my sympathy and make me thoroughly enjoy watching his heinous actions. In fact, he has to be one of my favorites of all time, and I can't commend David Morrissey enough for his portrayal. I really hope he's worked in again somehow.
He was the best character on the show, but he was too far gone. I'm pretty positive he's dead. Although, he was predominantly a charismatic sociopath, there were moments when I felt like he was once a good man before the apocalypse. Morrissey was a sexy, charming, yet despicable Governor. I could never completely hate his character, even though I really wanted to.
He was one of the best characters... I just think people hate on him because he could sometimes be irrational. He was one of the most interesting characters of the show, and it would have been interesting to see how long he could survive. The Prison should have killed his crew, and he should have escaped. He would meet the Rick Later and he'd die in some badass way

11Dale Horvath
A man who stands by his convictions with a fair and kind heart, he might be seen as a relic of the world before the apocalypse. But if the group came across you in the wild and you needed taking in, no one would hear you complaining about Dale, the man who would invariably have your back.
Just an interesting character who kept his humanity closer than his fear.
Just an interesting character who kept his humanity closer than his fear.
Great character, a voice of reason. When it seemed every one had lost their ethics, Dale was there to talk fair reason and sense into every one. When 99% of the world stopped caring about one another, Dale was the 1% and you really need characters in shows like this to relate to. Luckily Hershel had similar moral principles and sort of took over after Dale went.
Best Character in the whole series. I was crying when he died.
[Newest]Best character stopped watching walking dead cause I was so pissed he died
12Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas
He's black... That's all you need to know.
They should not of killed him off.
T-DOG so sad he died they really should have done a lot more with his character.
[Newest]Unfairly forgotten by the ungrateful people at the prison. Only character who would risk his life for the group no matter what.
13Beth Greene
In season 4 she shows her talent to make bad things better. Want to see more about her with daryl. maybe relationship? Yes, I think daryl needs to be loved in fact of his past. and beth would be a good decision while she isn�'t hard-nosed and can show good things in an apocalyptic world (time to relax, time to speak about the past, hanging loose).
Beth is my favorite character by far! She has had a hard time in the zombie apocalypse by getting attacked by her dead mom, suicide attempt and seeing her father's head get sliced off. She isn't the usual character to be able to survive a zombie apocalypse and that's why I like her she is a usual 18 year old girl trying to live and be happy
She is like the "hope" character, she brings everyone together with her singing, like a little light in this dark world, hope she gets lots of developement and stays alive
[Newest]Loved her so sad she died bring her back!
14Shane Walsh
Shane served a similar position to the Governor for me in some ways. During his time, Shane was the most interesting character on the show, and I was inclined to agree with most of his decisions. His friendship with Rick was great. He might have been one of the group's most valuable assets if Lori hadn't thoroughly screwed up his head. It's tragic, really. By Season 5, Rick has surpassed Shane in the "warped" morality department. Shane was just ahead of his time. Poor bastard.
He was the most realistic in a zombie apocalypse and made the show entertaining with rick he chats and talks things out and shane will just kill best character and certainly better then daryl
Best character in the show by the end of the second season... I watch the barn scene from "pretty much dead already" over repeatedly as well as the fight in "18 miles out"
Actually Rick's my favorite and Carol a close second, but I'm voting for Andrea since y'all were just horrible about her in the third season (well not all of you, but enough and I found that sad! ). Andrea and Carol were always my favorite female characters although I think Maggie's great too. She has a good heart- beautiful, strong, compassionate, emotional, ultimately good values... She did a good job before the apocalypse, and she was trying her best afterwards to find herself and her values again, especially after the loss of her little sister. How can you hate on someone who was just trying to do the right thing, as well as find a little something worth living for? The fact that she still tried to find love where she could and had innocence in her heart after everything was hopeful, not stupid. Also, Michonne is cool and all but she should have spoken up more and actually told Andrea what was going on, instead of leaving her there in ignorance as some sort of punishment for not bowing and catering to her superior intuition forever. Sorry but she's supposed to be a friend, and Andrea is the one getting called out on being a bad friend simply for wanting someplace that felt safe to stay in for a while... you know, with other people in it. Like, having a possible future and a sense of community again? It's not Michonne's fault she's so independent and untrusting but there's no need to kick Andrea to the curb for not being that way as much as her. What was she supposed to do, leave apparent safe haven right away again immediately after being so ill she almost died? Should she have been so loyal to the first person who saved her that she was rude to these new people without knowing anything about them? Andrea's decisions make a ton of real world sense, it's what people do. Haha, you can tell that stuff made me mad. I also was a bit unhappy at TWD writers though for essentially pitting two strong female characters against each other with the fans, and drastically 'weakening' one of them the moment another strong female character showed up. This kind of sucks. There should be a place for characters like Andrea as well as the cartoon badasses to coexist without one being proven as more 'right' and 'better' than the other. But at least she went out standing by her values. by the way, I do really like Daryl and actually Carl also but I also love the more overtly humanist characters like Hershel.
People don't understand that Andrea wanted Peace. She had just gotten over illness and she was grateful for the stability woodbury offered. Michonne should have pulled Andrea to the side and let her friend know whats up. Andrea finally found peace at woodbury and her mistake was that she didn't see the bigger picture. I love/hated her. She was the most realistic character on the show. A beautiful strong female character with so many flaws. That made her interesting. I liked hoe she always stood up for Shane and even fell for the Governor because she is a human being. She got herself caught in between two worlds. I miss her being on the show but I loved the way she died. It was epic to me! She finally got her peace... just in death while the others are still fighting to live in a world that may already be doomed.
Still love her, the show went downhill since she died. She was amazing and the only character who was able to evolve into so much more. All the other characters are already at their max. Andrea could of become a sniper bad ass but the show became too stupid.
16Morgan Jones
He feels more human than the other characters. I am not sure if I would be able to pull that trigger in the very first episode. In Season 3, he was so emotionally broken due to the brutal loss of his son, so now he has nobody in his life. For me, he is the most intriguing character on the show.
Though he is not my favorite I think he should be higher because all the stuff he went through, losing his son and going crazy, writing stuff on walls, setting up traps. I would like to see him in season 5 or something.
Hoping for a comeback season 4! This guy knows how to survive!
[Newest]I think Morgan has actually gone through more than anyone else
Why in gods name is he not first? He, rick, carol, and Daryl are the ONLY characters developing at all and learning the benefits of forgiveness and apology. Carol just admitted to tyreese in "the grove" that she killed Karen and David, she did so right after she shot her adopted daughter. That's tough right there. But tyreese forgave her and that's the damn toughest thing anybody has ever done on the show.
Badass zombie killer, not my favourite, but he deserves better than 15. Tyreese would be the perfect last man standing together with daryl
Instead of voting for Daryl, Rick, Glenn, Michonne, and Maggie, I 'll give my vote to Tyreese, who is another potential character in the Walking Dead. Tyreese may be very impatient and dangerous when his love ones are on danger, but he is kind, and is doubtful of killing the living ones.
[Newest]Tough as nails, heart of gold.
Nice guy and funny. kindhearted sorry to see him go... Really brutal got shot in head by governor
He was awesome and he had the best mustache around! And then the governor shot him! R.I.P. Axel we will always remember you...
Flirty and funny always brings a smile on ya face
19Rosita Espinosa
Beautiful character who really deserves to survive. Wouldn't watch the show without her, Beth or Daryl.
She is quite cool seems like she will be a good person
She is awesome. Can't wait to see more of her. Love her.
20Milton Mamet
Died trying to kill the governor, he was epic, shouldn't've died, yet he did kill andrea
His weapon should have been a sling shot.
Judith, a character with no lines, and axel, a character with no dimension, are above him on this site. people are idiots.

@Obhave1er nothing like pizza and beer!
You have the best frozen pizza I have ever tasted. Your frozen pizzas are better than most restaurants around the Carolinas. My wife and my two daughters feel the same way. I wish you had restaurants around here and also wish that more grocery store chains would carry your pizzas. Keep up the great art of making fine pizzas."
I tried my first Home Run Inn frozen pizza tonight and thought it was the best frozen pizza I have ever had. Great crust and the sauce has an excellent flavor. Thanks for making this great product available in the south!"

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
No literal description of Sayonara, Gangsters' plot could ever hope to do it justice. The narrator is a poetry teacher named "Sayonara, Gangsters" — he's named after a gang that's been knocking off U.S. Presidents one after another in the novel's facetious near-future. Unfolding through short sketches that often read like poetry or philosophical meditations, Sayonara, Gangsters is a hilarious and inventive postmodernist novel about language, expression, and the creative process from Haruki Murakami's way-more-out-there literary cousin.
"Takahashi's first novel to be translated into English can be amusing, sexy, moving, intelligent and maddeningly obtuse — often all at the same time. Which is exactly what Takahashi, acclaimed author of postmodernist romps and former porn director, intends. Somewhere in a future time and place, people have no names. Lovers find this inconvenient, so they begin naming each other. The two main characters settle on the following names: the woman is the Nakajima Miyuki Song Book, and the man, who teaches at a poetry school, is Sayonara, Gangsters. Their cat, who prefers milk-and-vodka and is a great fan of Aristotle, is named Henry IV. The first of the book's three parts tells the story of Sayonara, Gangsters's former lover, 'the woman,' and their daughter, named both Caraway and Green Pinky. One day the couple receive a postcard from City Hall that reads, 'We Were So Sorry to Learn of the Death of Your Daughter.' Sayonara, Gangster then describes Caraway's removal to the Children's Graveyard, where she is deposited in a cork-lined metal case. In the second section, Sayonara, Gangster explains his work at the poetry school, with a long disquisition on the death of poetry by the poet Virgil, who has metamorphosed into a refrigerator. The last section is an action-filled account of three gangsters who come to be taught poetry and who are killed after a gunfight with a detachment of armored police. Emmerich's playfully virtuosic translation makes all this more fun than work, rendering Takahashi's mischievous tale in candy-coated prose. Agent, Jennifer Lyons at Writers House (Apr. 1) Forecast:A blurb from Jonathan Safran Foer should attract the right kind of readers. Booksellers can also recommend Takahashi to fans of Haruki Murakami's marginally more sober work." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The novel's absurdities...neatly balance its tender, humane depictions of love and loss." Washington Post
"Sayonara, Gangsters is one of those rare books that actually defies description....It's funny, sure. And beautiful. And slightly insane. And haunting. And heart-breaking. But all those words miss the point. The point is you have to read it. So read it." Jonathan Safran Foer
"Sayonara, Gangsters...(is) a thrillingly unhinged perpetual-motion machine full of absurd sex and violence, greased with the awesome confidence of a writer so committed to thumbing his nose at convention that he discovers caverns of wonder deep within said schnozz." Village Voice
Here is an awesomely inventive novel about language, expression, and the creative process that courageously refuses to take refuge in pretentious inaccessibility. No literal description of Sayonara, Gangsters plot could ever do it justice — you gotta read it to understand it.
If you've ever despaired of expressing yourself, you'll read Sayonara, Gangsters and understand. Set in a facetious near-future that is both mind-bendingly bizarre and achingly familiar. Sayonara, Gangsters is an inventive novel about language, expression and the creative process that unfolds through hilarious sketches. The peaceful if bizarre life of a poetry teacher is forever transformed by a group of terrorists called "the gangsters" in what is, incredibly, a semi-autobiographical novel.
On this literary gonzo trip in which a man of letters finds out, too late, that flirting with extremist politics can have unsavory conequences for one's mind, we encounter the likes of Virgil, the refrigerator (a memorable three-dimesional character) and "Henry IV" the feline aficionado of books. Endlessly resourceful, relentlessly erudite, but always accessible, Sayonara, Gangsters is a unique masterpiece of literary postmodernism that aims to entertain rather than to intimidate.
From the outrageous beginning, which reads like an oblique reference to the war on terror but is no such thing (it was written more than twenty years ago), to the sobering, devastating end, through the lyrical, poignant middle, Takahashi's legendary first novel is candy for your brain. Sayonara, Gangsters is a must-read for all fans of world literature, available for the first time in English.
About the Author
Genichiro Takahashi never graduated from Yokohama National University. As a student radical, he was arrested and spent half a year in prison, a harrowing experience that rendered him incapable of reading or writing for several years. Sayonara, Gangsters took the literary establishment by storm and remains one of the summits of postmodern writing in Japanese or any other language. Winner of the Mishima and other coveted literary awards, Takahashi has been the best-kept secret of readers of Japanese. Sayonara, Gangsters is his first full-length work to be published in English.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- John Griffin rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns to lead Northeastern to a 33-27 victory over Rhode Island in the season finale for both teams.
Griffin scored on runs of 18 and 10 yards and caught three passes for 29 yards as the Huskies (3-8, 3-5 Colonial Athletic Conference) won their final two games.
Northeastern built a 20-7 lead on Griffin's 10-yard run, Matt Carroll's 15-yard run and two field goals from Mat Johnson.
Rhode Island (1-10, 0-8) stayed close on Anthony Ferrer's 2-yard run and Chris Paul-Etienne's 55-yard pass to Shawn Leonard, but Griffin scored again for a 30-20 lead with 48 seconds left in the third quarter.
Johnson kicked two 42-yard field goals, a 29-yarder and a 22-yarder.
Paul-Etienne was 8-for-16 for 191 yards and three touchdowns, all to Leonard, who caught five passes for 163 yards.

Video shows purported next-gen iPhone 'uni-body' backplate in detailA new video has surfaced of the alleged next-generation iPhone, featuring a side-by-side comparison of an iPhone 4S and a backplate identical to a part seen in previously leaked photos.
The video from wireless parts company ETrade Supply (via CydiaBlog) gives a highly detailed look at what appears to be an aluminum backplate first seen in May, lending further evidence that the part may be legitimate.
Highlighting the clip is a comparison between the allegedly new part and the chassis and back glass of the current iPhone 4S. The side-by-side clearly illustrates how Apple's next iPhone could sport what the narrator calls a "uni-body" design that does away with the back glass in favor of a metal chassis and front glass configuration. This would be more of a regression to the design of the iPhone 3G/3GS that had the internal components nestled in a rounded polycarbonate shell, however the purportedly leaked chassis allows for a markedly svelte profile not seen in current Apple handsets. The new component is so slim that it is noticeably thinner than the iPhone 4/4S metal mid-section alone.
Besides the obvious height and depth differences, the physical button layout seems to remain unchanged with the holes for volume adjustment and power maintaining their relative positioning to the top of handset when compared to Apple's current iPhone. Also unchanged are the dual-antennas on the top and bottom of the device that were first introduced in the iPhone 4S.
As the narrator moves on to other sections of the phone back, he notes that the SIM card tray found in the leaked unit is noticeably smaller than the piece found in existing iPhone 4S hardware, thus making the two parts incompatible. The tray in the video seems to be the part seen in early May and could feasibly fit the new "nano-SIM" format recently adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
Also making an appearance is the much-rumored "mini dock" at the bottom of the unit which is situated next to revised speaker and mic grills and a newly-positioned headphone jack.
Thursday's hands-on comes less than a week after a video was released claiming to feature the next-gen smartphone's front glass. It is unclear how thick the assembled shell would be if the two sections were put together, assuming that the two match at all, but Apple is rumored to be using in-cell display technology to keep displacement down. Disregarding the thickness of the panel, both leaked parts point to a display with a diagonal length in excess of 4-inches which is consistent with whispers saying the new iPhone will boast a bigger screen.
Apple is widely rumored to debut its new handset this fall sometime between September and October.
On Topic: Future Hardware
- Rumor: Apple developing iPhone display with integrated Touch ID fingerprint scanner, eliminating home button
- Apple investigating thinner touch panels that can sense 3D 'hover' gestures
- Intel announces quad-core mobile Broadwell chips, but Apple likely to stay away
- Thunderbolt 3 spec announced with support for USB-C connector, transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps
- Metaio acquisition brings Apple's PrimeSense pickup into focus

All About that One-Two
And today marks the twelfth anniversary of that late night decision (I had joined shortly after midnight after my folks were asleep. Still remember that, lol) to join the site I had been lurking for so long. Had it not been for this site, I honestly cannot imagine what kind of person I would have become. It was BZPower that formally introduced me to the glorious geek culture, and made me feel like that was an okay culture to be a part of (actually, it made me feel like it was the best culture to be a part of).
All the best to both the veterans and the newbies. I still can't believe I've been a member of this community for almost as long as I had been alive when I joined.

I'm coming back to Django after a brief encounter with version 1.2, and now in version 1.3 the favored approach to views seems to be using classes.
Keeping in mind code style, maintainability and modularity: when should I use classes, and when functions? Should I always extend from generic class views (there seems to be no harm in using TemplateView), or should I use my own view callable objects?
Thanks in advance.

John Mineo's Italian Restaurant
A little over a decade after John and Anna Mineo's 1958 arrival in St. Louis, they chose to open a quaint 12-table restaurant to carry on the culinary traditions of their native Sicily. More than 40 years later, John Mineo's Italian Restaurant stands in the same spot, sporting an addition that allows the dining room to seat 180 guests, as well as a handful of new family photos decorating the walls. Tuxedo-wearing servers move from table to table, carrying Sicilian-inspired dishes such as tenderloin Napolitana as well as steaming bowls of freshly made pasta covered in bright sauces.

Perfect sized compartment boxes for holding and organizing small parts
by rick_meade
on 6/25/2013
I am using these compartment boxes to organize several containers of crimp (soldier-less) connectors. Now able to find the right connector without searching. Plan to purchase more of these boxes for other small parts.

Great deal for the money! needs real hinges ro make it perfect

The horz dividers pop out leaving 6 ~ 6" compartments, perfect for my tool box heat shrink assortment.
The glue on the over-sized label has to go! Come on it hides 30% of the contents and I don't want to dissolve the box with harsh chemicals. Alcohol did not work.

I ordered 3 of these and the latches do not work on any of them. They will not close, and they are flimsy and easily break if you put too much pressure to try and make them close.

Cecil is charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 4 killing of Ronna Thomas. He is also accused of stabbing his aunt and of trying to assault a neighbor attempting to assist the women.
While Cecil has pleaded not guilty, the Casa Grande Dispatch reports that Cecil reportedly told emergency responders that God told him to stab the women.

John F. Simon, Jr.: The Ever Present Sun
June 20 - August 16, 2015 in the Main Gallery
Opening reception: Saturday, June 20, 5-7 pm
John F. Simon, Jr. (b. 1963) is known for his software based installations and projections, often using computers to activate ideas from the history of painting. For this exhibition, Simon has created a new site-specific freestanding sculptural work that is inspired by Edward Hopper's paintings of urban exteriors.
Using pencil sketching, 3D modeling, and CNC milling, Simon takes advantage of the latest digital fabrication techniques to exaggerate perspective and simulate shadow, building and mixing several facade styles in alternating patterns. He will also show several of his earlier software "art appliances" whose imagery and style relate to his love of the architectural styles of New York City.
Simon received an AB in art and ScB in geology from Brown University, an MA in Earth and planetary sciences from Washington University, and an MFA in computer art from the School of Visual Arts, NY. He has exhibited his work throughout the world and it is in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, The Phillips Collection, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.
RELATED EVENT: First Friday, August 7 @ 7 pm, Artist Talk
Elinore Schnurr: Outside Looking In
June 5 – August 2, 2015 in the Hopper Hallway Gallery
Reception First Friday, June 5, 6-8 pm
To create the paintings in her series, "Outside Looking In," Elinore Schnurr uses a digital camera to capture images of bars and cafes with reflective windows that expose the interior of the spaces while revealing the people and objects on the exterior. Reflections and motion, when caught first with a camera, create transparencies and multiple layers that the artist then weaves into the final paintings. The effect recalls Edward Hopper's frequent images of subjects viewed through windows or looking out of windows. In particular, Schnurr's work pays homage to one of Hopper's most well known paintings, Nighthawks.
Schnurr received a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Arts and has exhibited widely throughout the United States. Her work is in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH; the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL; Museum of the City of New York, NY; and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC, among others.
A Photographic Journey through Hopper's World by Charles Sternaimolo
By searching through Josephine Hopper's meticulous notes, studying the work of fellow Hopper scholars, checking with local residents and historians, and even walking through an area in search of a "Hopper scene," photographer Charles Sternaimolo has identified and documented well over 150 places painted by the artist, culminating in a visual comparison through photography of Hopper's painted locations.
This exhibit was generously underwritten by Donna Cox, Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty.
Additional support was provided by Frames & Art by Simon.

1998 Ford Escort Q&A
1998 Ford Escort Question: car idle will not hold steady. Will not accelerate over 30 miles per hour;
that 30 mph takes a mile to get there - davey boy
3 Answers
Answer 1
Possible clogged catalytic converter or restrictive fuel filter ,don't Know history or miles?? - asksteevies
Answer 2
Does it miss really bad. Not running one all cylinders, possible coil issue. - ProfessorG
Answer 3
Should be easy for a tech to figure out in 30 minutes. Likely are collapsed cat converter/exhaust pipe or faulty ignition coils or ignition module. Is it up shifting, if an automatic. IF not a possibly failed modulator on trans could be problem. When you post a question, the more information you post, ie mileage, transmission type, any previous diagnosis, can help and will get you more and more accurate responses. - executivecom

I had a stroke in 2012. I live alone and don't talk to anyone. My headache had started Friday and by Sunday the headache was more painful than I've heard of. In ER the nurse who spoke to noticed I was speaking in 'word salad-fruit salad' and my face drooped on one side. I was sent to wait for someone to call me. 3 hours later ! I passed out then and woke in ICU. Who knew having a stroke wasn't too important

My mom is in palliative care with stage 4 ca. She is being discharged soon despite her failing condition. I keep being told she is stable in her unstableness? She has had a few falls since being there over the past few weeks but more importantly she had 3 falls last week alone, but according to the powers that be...she is not deteriorating? Go figure. Perhaps they don't feel that she is dying fast enough to satisfy them.

Two sisters with strokes sent to ER. One arrived 10am paralysed on right side; not seen until 4 pm. Eventually placed in palliative care with almost no attention paid to her despite repeatedly almost falling out of bed. Treatment overall was shocking. Second sister taken to ER immediately after having major stroke. Clot-busting drug refused her ostensibly because the precise time of her stroke was not recorded despite immediate action taken by neighbour after event

When you go to a hospital, you'd think you the staff are actually there for their patients. My mother needed to get on the toilet, and the nurse knows. The nurse on F3 would not bulge as she was too busy on her laptop. She dismissed the issue saying someone will be there, but the wait was longer than 30 minutes. Thats the last place I'd want to go.

My mother in law contracted c-difficile in this hospital. Patients on the ward were literally losing control of their bowels while in the hallway. The nursing staff we encountered were indifferent and unfriendly. There are too many unhealthy stories to tell about this hospital. Apparently, community funding for this hospital is low which may explain the dismal level of cleanliness and care. My only advice is to always choose a well-funded teaching hospital downtown whenever possible. The reputation of this hospital is well deserved. Thi is unfortunate for the community it serves and unsuspecting patients.

I really love this girl, girls I need your advice, please help!
There is this girl, whom I know since 6-7 years, we hardly used to speak with each other until last year... while having some casual chat on... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
a lot of girls enjoy attentions I think.. I think its cruel too cos she knows talking to you doesn't help you to move on or anything.did she even respond whether she likes you or not? or maybe she does but just doesn't want a relationship? I think you need to talk to her and find out. If she doesn't like you at all, then there is no point trying to get her.
I think love happens when you find someone who you are comfortable with (in person). sms or online chats probably very different. I guess you guys never hang out? try to hang out or something a few time before you decide she is the one you really like. it tells you a lot of things
i once invited her fr a movie, she said" ther's soe function or festival in her collg, so she can't come..."...i ws really upset and angry tht day
i never tried callin her after tht...
- Show Older Hide Older
she just message"hi, how ws your day?...i m seriously going mad now, I can't even ignore her
i would either reply good thanks. or ignore it. if she keeps sending you text, you should find out what her intention is.could be keeping you thinking about her, or she's just bored, or she wants to be friends. well you need to find out and make up your mind. try to distract yourself and keep yourself busy.it helps
What Girls Said 5
If she doesn't want a relationship, then you are just "thinking yourself" into loving her. You think so much about how 'amazing' she is and how much you want to be with her, but if she doesn't love you back and never has, then you just have to get over her and move on. Meet other people, you will find a girl you love as much that loves you back. Good luck :)
i hope to meet someone els, just lik her...
I think you need to make a decision to stop hurting yourself, your not going to help yourself from erasing her from your memory that's only going to make you angry and dislike her, I think you need to slowly stop contacting one another so you can give yourself some space to move on from her.
Thanks, but I really can't get her out of my mind...
nevr been in so deep love bfor, I guess thts a punishment...
Its first love, trust me you don't forget them, which is a bummer.. but you do learn how you want to be loved by someone else in the future.

Women can chat 24/7. This is no real sign she's attracted to you.
If she knows how you feel, yet still talk to you all the time, I think she's cruel.
That's one of these situations in life where you just can't pretend nothing happened.
Man up, and stop contacting her. You will depressed for a while, but then things will get better.
Good luck to you !
