My carrot and it looks good:)
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
obtained my first "carrot" just a couple of weeks back. the amount of farming needed to obtain it was quite hefty but totally worth it, imo.
i think people who can't find anything to strive for in the game just don't really care about cosmetics or just haven't found the look they want. the game is definitely lacking in the skins department atm, which is surprising tbh. i hope they add more and more armorsets and variety in the coming months so that more people can find their "carrot" to keep them playing.
i'm pretty sure ANet has a ton of artists working for them, so why not have some work on more armorskins? so far, all named lvl 80 exotic armors within the same armor class look the same. hell, even the Mad King exotics have the same skins as those.

GW 1 - elite skills!
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
as a mostly PvP player in GW1, the change in how u obtain elite skills doesn't bother me at all since i just unlocked pretty much every elite skill with faction BUT i do agree the elite skills are kinda lacking. i really do miss GW1's elites and hope they do some elite skill overhaul. if they don't change them much however, i really doubt it's gonna bother me all that much. i'm still loving the game but i just think this is an aspect of the game that can be improved.

Guild Wars 2 needs elite difficulty content...EDIT:guess i was wrong
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
i think it would be weird to not expect any elite content from ANet. most elite dungeons in GW1 required plenty of coordination during their time. sure most of them are PUG-able these days cause of PvE skills and full hero parties but back then, they were pretty damned hard. heck, do u even remeber when NF just came out and entered the Realm of Torment? that place made a lot of people QQ and it wasn't even an elite area.
When did you become interested in GW2
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
ever since they announced they were no longer making campaigns for GW1 and that they were gonna work on GW2 instead. kinda had mixed feelings about it back then since it meant GW1 wasn't gonna get anymore content updates after EOTN but was also excited about the thought of a sequel. fortunately enough, the former wasn't true and we still got free updates - War in Kryta, Hearts of the North, and Winds of Change.
I wonder if there will be the Underworld and/or Fissure of Woe equivalents
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
would be nice to see them as dungeons. i'd also like it if the 3 other gods(Dwayna, Lyssa, Melandru) get their own as well since they didn't have any in GW1. not sure it would work tho since humans are no longer the only playable race. all 4 of the other races have their own beliefs so ANet's going to have to cater to those as well if they don't want people crying inequality.

i'm gonna take a guess that overflow servers work just like GW1's "districts". when a district, or in this case, overflow server, gets filled, another is created to put more people in them. the game being built up on a modified engine GW1 uses, i think there's a good chance they work the same way.

The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
i think people are underestimating how fast ANet can make content - free or not. this is the same company that was able to make 2 stand-alone campaigns for GW1 that are as big, if not bigger than the original game(Prophecies) content-wise, as well as Sorrow's Furnace in just 1 1/2 years. not to mention with a dev team with less than 50(?) people at the time.
imagine how much they can do now that they have had 5 years to develop GW2 with 250+ people working on it. sure there are a lot of factors to take into account like the time it takes to implement new systems, reiterating game mechanics, etc. but i can't see those things affecting the development of the game that much that ANet would end up doing the same thing Funcom did back then with AoC.
and besides, have u already forgotten the dreaded phrase "when it's ready" that ANet used to throw around when people ask anything remotely related to a release date? i doubt it's just their version of "no comment".

Start a War

|Static-X chronology
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
Start a War is the fourth Static-X album; it was released in June 2005. A special version was shipped with an additional DVD titled X-Rated.
Album information[edit]
This is the first studio album with drumming provided by Nick Oshiro, and the second and last album that guitarist Tripp Eisen wrote and performed on. The album marks the return of former guitarist Koichi Fukuda, who helped with the programming, and according to Static-X's online forums, Fukuda completed additional guitar parts in three songs left unfinished by Eisen. The album continues the change in sound found on Shadow Zone but many of the songs featured on Start a War are heavier and feature a lot more screaming and aggressive lyrics. Songs that best show this[according to whom?] are "I Want to Fucking Break It", "The Enemy", and "Start a War".
The whole tone of the album is more aggressive than Shadow Zone.[according to whom?] The song "Pieces" features a guitar solo, a feature not found in earlier albums, but playing a larger role in the following album, Cannibal. Start a War is also the last album to feature one the band's unique Otsego songs. When asked about the album, Wayne Static said "We wanted to try to recreate the fun spirit of Wisconsin Death Trip; having Koichi back, with his flavor, helped."[attribution needed]
The song "Start a War" was featured on the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 video game soundtrack, and "Skinnyman" was featured on Need For Speed: Most Wanted.
Track listing[edit]
- "The Enemy" – 2:28
- "I'm the One" – 2:36
- "Start a War" – 2:44
- "Pieces" – 2:38
- "Dirthouse" – 3:03
- "Skinnyman" – 3:40
- "Just in Case" – 4:24
- "Set It Off" – 3:55
- "I Want to Fucking Break It" – 2:42
- "Night Terrors" – 3:09
- "Otsego Amigo" – 2:45
- "My Damnation" – 4:01
- "Brainfog" – 9:53 (includes a cappella version of "Otsego Amigo" as hidden track, with a drum and bass finale)
DVD version - X-Rated[edit]
Start a War was also available in a bonus edition digipak with a DVD titled X-Rated.
Band footage[edit]
Most of the DVD was filmed whilst guitarist Tripp Eisen was in the band. When he left the band, he had to be 'edited' out of the DVD, though he can still be seen in some shots. New live footage was filmed with Koichi Fukuda. Consequently, this means that most of the DVD has footage only of Tony, Nick and Wayne.
Contents of the DVD[edit]
- Making of the record. (Footage of the band making/recording the record and a footage of a photoshoot.)
- Rehearsal footage. (In order - "The Enemy", "Start a War", "I'm the One", "Dirthouse")
- Live tour footage. Each song also has footage of the band's crazy antics (in order - "Permanence", "The Trance Is the Motion", "Monster")
- "Desert Fun" - Wayne and Tony driving around the desert in trucks with the tracks "Otsego Amigo" and "I Want to Fucking Break It" being played.
- Instrumental songs ("Dirthouse", "Otsego Amigo", "Pieces", "Skinnyman", "Start a War")
- Full album in 5.1 surround sound.
Chart positions[edit]

Texans' Smith piling up sacks in new 3-4 defense
By JEFFREY MARTIN, Copyright 2011 Houston Chronicle | October 4, 2011 | Updated: October 4, 2011 11:31pm

THE MARK OF ANTONIO: Texans defensive end Antonio Smith has had plenty of opportunities to do his sack shuffle, which he punctuates by drawing an imaginary sword. With four sacks, he is tied for the team lead.

More Information
After four games in the Texans' new 3-4 defense, defensive end Antonio Smith has matched his sack total for all of last season.
Games Forced Assists
Gms started Sacks fumbles Tackles on tackles
16 16 4 1 23 15

Gms started Sacks fumbles Tackles on tackles

The question posed to outside linebacker Connor Barwin just beyond the Texans' locker room pertained to the defense as a whole, the unquestioned hero of Sunday's 17-10 victory over Pittsburgh.
Whether he actually heard what was asked is unclear. Barwin improvised, using the platform to deliver an impassioned plug for one of his teammates, a not-so-shy sort who just happened to be slinking by after an extremely rare postgame auditorium media address - the sort of exercise usually reserved for the likes of quarterback Matt Schaub and running back Arian Foster.
"If you're not ready to start talking about Antonio Smith being one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL, you're trippin'," Barwin said. "The way he's played so far in the first four games, I haven't seen anyone playing better."
Smith never broke stride, nodding his head as he faded from view.
Throughout his eight years in the NFL, Smith has usually been overshadowed by higher-profile teammates. But now he's tied for the team lead with four sacks, second to no one. And while he's pleased, there's a nagging suspicion he can't shake.
Against the Steelers, Smith was convinced he'd gotten to Ben Roethlisberger more than once. Incredulous, he asked a reporter for visual confirmation.
"Didn't you see me with my sword a couple of times?"
Ah, yes - the sword. Smith, who is admittedly obsessed with ninjas, has a sack celebration that consists of a brief crouched, exaggerated march and then an unleashing of an imaginary sword. He calls it "the ninja assassin slash of death."
Since arriving in 2009 after five seasons in Arizona, Smith has been best known for such antics and for being an outrageous quote. He has never been shy about speaking his mind, but it belied his ability on the field, where he has thrived in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme.
During the Texans 3-1 start, Smith has almost matched his career high of 5.5 sacks, which came in 2007. And while everyone gushed and speculated how dominant Mario Williams would be in the new system, few considered how Smith might fit at defensive end.
"I don't think he's better than I realized," Phillips said. "When they got him from Arizona, everybody knew he was a good player. Besides being an athlete, he's an all-out player. He plays as hard as you can play every play, and that's the kind of player you want."
His teammates agreed, naming Smith a captain.
"He's a great player, a great mentor as well," nose tackle Earl Mitchell said. "You look at him on film, you're going to see hard work every time the ball is snapped. He's a great guy to emulate. I'm not surprised at how well he's doing."
Smith has a pact worked out with the defensive backs, saying, "They're going to help send 'Tone to the beach," a takeoff of former fullback Vonta Leach's efforts to reach the Pro Bowl. The longer the defensive backs cover, the longer he has to reach the quarterback. And this year, given the upgrades in the secondary, the pact might have some punch.
Smith realizes this defense is different than in years past. He said he saw a change after the Week 3 loss to the Saints. Before, a loss would linger. Not anymore.
"Everybody believes we're not here just to compete with some of the teams everybody thinks are the best in the league," he said. "We're here to win, and we're here to win every week."
It seems neither Smith nor the Texans are content any longer in the shadows. Both can expect plenty of attention in the coming weeks, and the only certainty is that Smith will be prepared. He has in store a "special" celebration, which he won't reveal until he has two sacks again.
The last time Smith had a pair of sacks? Try Oct. 3, 2010 - against the Oakland Raiders, this week's opponent.

Project Description
Short Summary
This Division of Compensation Analysis and Support (DCAS) project assists in the determination of radiation dose estimations for claimants under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) and responds to appeals submitted for those determinations.
This project provides the determination of dose estimations for claimants under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOIPCA) and responds to appeals submitted for those determinations.
Mission Relevance
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) established a compensation program to provide a lump sum payment and medical benefits as compensation to covered employees suffering from designated illnesses incurred as a result of their exposure to radiation, beryllium, or silica while in the performance of duty for the Department of Energy (DOE) and certain of its vendors, contractors, and subcontractors. The Executive Order 13179, Providing Compensation to America's Nuclear Weapons Workers, directs HHS to develop guidelines to be used by the Department of Labor (DOL) to assess the likelihood that an employee with cancer developed that cancer as a result of exposure to radiation in performing his or her duties at a DOE facility or Atomic Weapons Employer. The Executive Order also directed HHS to establish methods for arriving at and providing reasonable estimate of the radiation doses received by individuals applying for assistance under this program for whom there are inadequate records of radiation exposure.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (2016 remake)
Redirected from Friday the 13th Part 2 (2015 remake)
this wiki
|This article is about an upcoming film. The information here is subject to change at any moment without warning. Please only post valid information.
Friday the 13th Part 2 is an upcoming 2016 horror film, and the 13th installment in the Friday the 13th franchise. Initially assumed to be a sequel to the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot, reports now suggest that it will be a second reboot, rather than a direct sequel to its 2009 predecessor. This film is still in development hell with no cast members but there is a script. Paramount has picked up the full rights to the franchise,[1] and was rumored to be released in March 2015, but this date was pushed back to November 2015 [2].
The plot is not really revealed but Jason is attacking Camp Crystal Lake when a few kids decide to reside there and that the deaths could be more brutal.
Clay and Whitney Miller are rumored to possibly be making an appearance.[source?]
- It's said that the producers are throwing around the idea of the film possibly being found footage.
- New Line has given the rights back to Paramount Pictures, with word that the studio is interested in bringing life back to the franchise.
- Producer Brad Fuller confirmed that the last script involved Camp Crystal Lake re-opening to the public and Jason would indeed be in a snow setting for a portion of the film.
- Despite interest from the producers to pursue a sequel, it seems that it wasn't enough move the project forward, as Platinum Dune's Brad Fuller was recently quoted saying that it's now "dead" and "not happening".
- It's rumored that the film may be in 3D.
- Originally aimed for an August 13th 2010 theatrical release.
- There's talk that there may be a segment in the film where Jason is pitted in the snow.
- It's said that this sequel will not take any cues from previous F13 sequels and will offer a completely new storyline.[3]

New 'Walking Dead' Season 4 Preview Reveals the Darkening Road Ahead!

For four years I have loved you, since September 16. We stood in the rain together, you and me, and you held my hand more than once. You used to chase me because I liked it, and I'll never forget the time you chose to spend half an hour wandering the halls with me instead of leaving. You've filled my mind; you've haunted my dreams. I cannot stop loving you, although I have tried so hard. We cannot choose who loves us, and I'll be stuck on you forever. Sorry.
For you......

For most, Valentine's Day meant spending it with the one they love, whether married, engaged, or dating. For us, it was another year apart. For me, I've decided its time to say good bye. I thought there was chance, but the last weeks have proven otherwise. Important events came and went without a word, and I think without a thought of me. Had you given me anything in these last few weeks, perhaps things would be different but quite frankly what I can't deal with is the drama and the lies....oh the lies. Enjoy your life and whoever you have chosen to spend it with because yes I do know there is someone. I love you, I will probably always love you. What we shared was incredibly special to me, whether you choose to believe that or not. I will never have that with anyone else. But it is you who has chosen to live in the past instead of the present, instead trying for a different future. And for demanding total honestly, your quite the hypocrite to have someone else and then deny it.

We used to walk down that road together. I remember the last time I traveled there -- you had told me the week before that you wouldn't be there anymore, but part of me didn't want to believe it. I waited for fifteen minutes standing by the chain-link fence watching other people approach from the bottom of the hill. None of them was you. So I set off. The snow was seeping into my shoes but it didn't register. I sang songs we both liked while I walked. I looked back with every step ... maybe you were following me, to surprise me? Maybe you would still be there. I realized I wanted you to be. I saw that I loved you, but it was too late. And maybe one day you'll know it too, and tap on my shoulder and smile with your eyes and tell me we will make up for the lost tkne. I don't want to stop waiting, but the wishing hurts. I miss you. Every day.

im not sure why i am at this website, i just need to share this with someone. i am currently 15 years old and in the summer of 2013 i got drunk and hooked up with a guy that i knew nothing at all about. with my luck i got pregnant and found out 5 weeks after the hookup. since i was only 13 i was very scared and i talked to one of my sisters and a couple of my friends about it and i decided that because of my home situation, and an eating disorder i was struggling with at the time, an abortion would be the best decision for me. i got it done and for a while i felt okay but then i keep wishing i had kept the baby. the baby would have been due in february of 2014 and its due date was february 12th. that week i got so depressed that i tried to commit scuicide. now it is nearly a year later and what would be my baby's first birthday is about a month away. whenever anyone has babies in my family or someone mentions babies and even in my childcare class, i tear up. i just needed to say something because nobody very close to me knows, i told my sister who is away at college and a few long distance trusted friends. the guilt keeps getting worse and worse and there is nothing i can do about it.

Almost 19 years...we both know that this will be forever, no matter the circumstances. Maybe we need to wait in order to protect our childs during their growth, but at the end, we'll ended together, as it should be since the beginning. We're placing our childs first and making a "hold" in our plans. We need to do it, but if we waited 19 years, we can wait some more and ended up our lives like the UP Movie couple. You're my Greatest Love and you know it!!!! My Heart is Yours!!!!

I am not sure what to say to you some days.I have tried again to text you but nothing seems to work and I am having trouble finding calling cards.Can't you e-mail anymore?It would make things much easier to get in touch.I would like to hear about this dream you had.

Last year on April Fool's the first thing my my then boyfriend told me was "Love you". It was just a coincidence that it was April Fool's, but I'd give anything to hear him tell me he loves me again - even if it was a joke.

It's Christmas time and I have been thinking about you.The season always brings thoughts of sharing and us,the way we were.I got your text recently and responded twice,but I never heard back from you.I do wonder about you and how you are often.The dream you had must have unsettled you,to have texted me about it. I hope everything was alright and that you were just dreaming.Listening lately to the music playing on the radio has me thinking of you once again,it seems like I can't listen to Rascal Flats and not think of you.I hope you have the same problem,I really do. Anyway,I just wanted to say hello somehow,since this seems to be the only way that might work.Have a great holiday season and be well.Me.

MY Mantra of Hope
posts on 11/30/2014 7:16:27 AM
I'm never going to stop loving you. I couldn't if I wanted to. The only thing that is keeping me strong right now is the hope that one day I will see you again and maybe things will be like they once were. I'm not moving on. I can't and I don't want to. I still want everything I told you. I will never give up on you, on us. There hasn't been a second that has passed that I haven't thought about you. I will wait for the rest of my life if I have to, but it's you I want. I don't really know why, but I feel like I need to say this. I just have to say there is never going to be anyone else and that you are it. I love you.

text: My role at Gateway: I am the Dean of Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness. I work with all departments of the college to continually evaluate and improve the programs and services we provide to students. How long I've worked here: I have been at Gateway since November 2006. My hometown: Pikeville, Ky. Why I do what I do: I enjoy the opportunity to help our students tell their stories through data, which translates into increased effectiveness of teaching and learning, and increased resources to support our work. We learn and develop as educators through the responses of our students. My philosophy: Every student is equally important. Each one has a need, or goal they are seeking to fulfill. In the community college, every student has a story of where they have been, and has hopes and dreams of where they can go in life. The best that we can do each and every day is to meet them where they are, and provide them with the opportunities they need to realize their potential. I like our students because: Every student has their own unique, individual story and is searching for that opportunity or chance to be successful.

The blend modes in Photoshop offer incredible creative options for designers and photographers wanting to enhance images. In Photoshop Blend Mode Magic, Michael Ninness shows Photoshop users how to access and apply blend modes efficiently to achieve an aesthetic vision. He explains the building blocks of layer blending and demonstrates how blend modes can be used for color correction, sharpening, blending images together, adding dramatic glow, applying custom edge treatments, and many other creative effects. Michael also introduces advanced blending options for more experienced Photoshop users. Most of all, he demystifies this essential feature in plain, easy-to-understand terms and inspires photographers to use blend modes in ways they may have never considered before. Exercise files accompany the course.
One of the funny things about Photoshop is if you ask ten different Photoshop experts how to do a sepia tone, you are probably going to get ten different answers, ten different techniques. So this video is about my technique for doing a sepia tone and of course, I think my technique is the best. Not trying to be arrogant at all, but one of the downfalls I see in some of the other sepia tone techniques is that they end up looking dirty or dingy, specially the mid-tones and into the highlights. A true sepia tone really won't have dirty whites. The whites will actually still be a little bit crisp and clean. Let's talk about how the textbook method of sepia tone in Photoshop CS4 is accomplished and then I'll tell you how to improve upon it. Let's begin by going to our Adjustments panel and choosing a Black & White adjustment layer and Photoshop now does a very nice job of doing custom black and white conversions with this Black & White Adjustment.
You can control the conversion of each color individually, so if I want my reds in the image to be a little bit brighter in Grey Scale or darker, I can control that independently, it's really nice. If I want their eyes to pop a little bit, I can adjust the Cyan slider or the Blue slider to make them sparkle just a little bit more. It's pretty subtle change, so you're seeing a little bit of change there. Okay, then you'll see in the Adjustments panel Photoshop has actually tried to make it real easy to do a sepia tone by adding a Tint checkbox, which then applies a Color Overlay on top of the Black & White adjustment layer here.
It'll actually default it to a nice sepia tone color. But here you can see what I'm talking about. The whites here are not staying white. They are actually getting kind of yellowish and dingy. And I don't really like that effect. Well, we could try to limit the colorization and the highlights, if you remember the Advanced Blending Options, those Blend If sliders. So, how do you get there? If you double click on adjustment layer thumbnail and that doesn't actually do anything because it's not an image layer. So Option or Alt+Double-Click will bring up the Layer Style dialog box and that's where you'll discover the Blend If sliders and that's as where as you can tell Photoshop to ignore certain tones, either on this layer or the layer underneath. But here's the problem, what's underneath this Grey Scale conversion, this black and white conversion? It's the color image, so if I drag this White slider to the left, while this is interesting, it's doing the blend back to color. It's not exactly the look I was going for. So, we'll go ahead and hit Cancel here and I'm going to ahead and leave the black & White adjustment layer still on, but I'm going to turn off the Tint. We are going to accomplish the tint a different way, we are going to use a Color adjustment layer.
We will go back to the bottom of the Layers panel and we'll chose Solid Color from the top of the list here, from the adjustment layer menu icon and this brings up a dialog box where we can pick a solid color. Now, I just happen to know the numbers of the sepia tone I want. So, in the R field, I'm going to type in 225, I'm going to hit the Tab key. I'm going to type in 210 for green, hit the Tab key one more time and I'm going to type 1AD for blue and this gives me a nice base color for a sepia tone effect. I'm going to go ahead and click OK. The image looks better already, all right.
Now what we want is the color of this layer, led in details of the layers underneath. So, how do we do that? Well we change the blend mode of the Color layer to -- what do you think? That's right. Color. So use the color of this layer, but show through and blend down of the details underneath. Now that this is a separate adjustment layer, above everything, I can use the Advance Blending sliders on the Color adjustment layer and limit where the color shows up in the underlined image. Because directly below the color layer is this black and white conversion layer. So we'll Option or Alt+Double-click on the Color adjustment layer icon.
This brings up our Blend If sliders again and now I can bring that White slider over to the left and you see at a certain point, it actually drops color out completely. I just want to go round about there to where the colors above the drop out and then we want to split the sliders. How do we that? We hold on the Option key or the Alt key and that splits the sliders apart. So I can control them and get a blend between opaque and transparent areas in the image here. So, I'm just going to eyeball this and decide where I want the color to be in the mid-tones and in the shadows, but I want to keep the whites clean and bright.
So, you just decide where you want that split to be. It's completely flexible and up to you. This gives you a lot of flexibility. You can make it from a platinum tone to a sepia tone just using the same color and deciding how much of the bright parts of the image you want to color to come into. So, I'm going to go right about here, I think like 12, let's go with 200 for the left slider and say 225 for the right slider, looks good to me. Here's before, just turn in the Preview checkbox on and off and there's after. Hopefully you can see the difference. I'm biased. I think my effect here, my style, is a little bit better when those lights are not so colorized. So, I'm going to take it out just a little bit more to 220 and there's before and there's after. So there you have it, a better sepia tone technique by using multiple adjustment layers using the Color blend mode on a Color adjustment layer and then dialing back down where the color is occurring by using the Advance Blending sliders and the Layer Style dialog box.

When should the next wave of pitching prospects arrive?
Nov 21, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT
Whether it happens via trade this offseason or free agency the next two offseasons, the Nationals star-studded rotation is most likely going to undergo change sometime in the near future.

Nats mum on Game 5 starter, Strasburg available tonight
Oct 7, 2014, 7:37 PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Williams won't name his starting pitcher for a potential Game 5 of the NLDS just yet, not with victory in Game 4 tonight still a prerequisite for that scenario to even come to fruition.

Strasburg's playoff debut produces mixed bag
Oct 3, 2014, 9:44 PM EDT
Stephen Strasburg was probably looking forward to pitching in the postseason for much longer than just the last two years.

UPDATED: Nats come up short in tense NLDS opener
Oct 3, 2014, 7:04 PM EDT
Updated at 9:50 p.m. October baseball is unlike any baseball that precedes it. The Nationals learned this two years ago.

A postseason debut two years in the making
Oct 3, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT
Stephen Strasburg typically isn't one for introspection, and the next time he tries to put one outing into the context of the larger picture will be the first time.

Nats yet to name Game 4 starter, playoff roster
Oct 2, 2014, 1:19 PM EDT
Nationals manager Matt Williams began his press conference the day before Game 1 of the NLDS by confirming several pieces of information everyone pretty much already knew.

Sep 28, 2014, 12:21 PM EDT
Nationals manager Matt Williams said this week he needed to see how Jordan Zimmermann's bruised shoulder fares on Sunday before determining the team's postseason rotation.

Strasburg in top form heading into postseason debut
Sep 27, 2014, 9:21 PM EDT
The only way the rest of the baseball world likely will ever vindicate Mike Rizzo and his decision to shut down Stephen Strasburg prior to the 2012 postseason is if Strasburg helps lead the Nationals to a World Series title some day. And even then, some of those who pilloried Rizzo for his controversial decision…
Instant analysis: Nats 5, Marlins 1
Sep 27, 2014, 7:05 PM EDT

Nats to decide rotation after Sunday's game
Sep 25, 2014, 11:48 AM EDT
Wednesday night's rainout between the Nationals and Mets gave the Nats a chance to adjust their starting rotation at an opportune time.

Did rainout help Nats set postseason rotation?
Sep 24, 2014, 8:16 PM EDT
Wednesday night's rainout forced the Nationals to make several pitching adjustments in preparation for the back-to-back doubleheaders they now must play against the Mets and Marlins.

Nationals Stock Watch: LaRoche heating up

Everyone is short on time and long commutes do not help with this! To fit in some strength training on the freeway, I have created a series of arm movements (one at a time, of course) that I can do while driving. These involve pulsing pushing arm circles etc. Just put on some music and experiment!
Even though stretching can seem like a waste of time, you need it for the muscles.
The best thing I ever bought was the elliptical. Having it at home has made my exercise time truly just the actual workout time. No added minutes for commute. No worrying about what anyone else thinks. Just doing it.
After baby #2 came along, it seemed I was always flustered and running late. I realized my day planning needed a reality check!The solution? For 2 weeks I timed routine activities whenever possible. For example, I tracked:-The average time of morning and evening commute-Average time per night to bathe kids-Average time to dress kids-Average time to cook dinner-Average time to clean up each night-Average time per grocery trip (still tracking)

Fish Face Rough Start to Second Half
As the first half of the season ended, it picked off where it started for the Marlins on one thing: the mentality of sweep or be swept. Although the scheduled four-game series was not played out completely (thanks to another rainy day in South Florida), the Phillies still took all three games that were not rained out. The saddest part of it all, the Marlins never led in any of those three games and were shut out in two of them.On the bright side, the San Francisco Giants lost three games out of the last four games, keeping the Fish within reach of the Wild Card spot. Now the Marlins stand seven games out of the N.L. East lead and five games away from the Wild Card spot. The gap is fairly significant, but not insurmountable.
Looking forward to rest of the second half, the Marlins need to do one thing first before they look to correct their smaller issues - that is capitalize when men are on base. In the final game versus the Phillies, the Marlins were 0-12 with men in scoring position (three of those chances were with bases loaded). The Phillies may be...

Re: Crossing the Line; Poisoned Land
STAND YOUR GROUNDSteve Coll, writing about Obama's position on press leaks, conflates the regrettable persecution of the New York Times reporter James Risen with that of the whistle-blower Edward Snowden and the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange (Comment, September 2nd). Coll implies that Snowden and Assange were cowardly for not facing the law in the U.S., while Risen, whose reporting and legal fight are indeed heroic, has taken a higher road. Neither Snowden nor Assange is a reporter, nor does either of them work for what is arguably the world's most powerful newspaper. The two men stayed away from the U.S. because the government is taking increasingly harsh measures against people who dare to shed light on the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Coll refers to Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning's response, upon receiving a thirty-five-year sentence, that "sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society." But Manning's lengthy sentence is probably all that most of us would need to understand that exile was our only choice.

East county pet of the week: Midnight and Dragon are seven month old black medium hair mixes
Look alike brothers and best friends Midnight and Dragon are seven month old black medium hair possibly Maine Coon mixes. They like dogs, children and other cats and are both extremely friendly. Midnight and Dragon are very bonded and love to sleep, eat and play together.
Midnight is the higher energy kitten of the two. He likes to play with water and jump and grab toys. Dragon is more quite and likes to lie in a person's lap. Both like to be held, brushed and petted. If possible these two brothers and best buddies should go together to their forever home.
To choose Midnight (photo) and his nearly identical twin Dragon request ID # A4331067 and A4331070. The Agoura Shelter is at 29525 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills. Occasionally, pets have already been adopted. To check availability, call 818-991-0071 or visit http://animalcare.lacounty.gov.
