Command of the Landscape
On Saturday, November 10, The San Diego Museum of Art will open its new exhibition Charles Reiffel: An American Post-Impressionist. Charles Reiffel led the California plein-air school of landscape painting in the late 1920s. SDMA's exhibition explores Reiffel's relationship with nature and form and examines the influence of American Post-Impressionism and Expressionism on his work.
Reiffel moved from Silvermine, Connecticut, to San Diego in 1925. The Pacific shores and desert hills of Southern California renewed his imagination and art, but he did not experience the same kind of financial success there as he had back East. Though critics embraced Reiffel, collectors dismissed his paintings as "too modern." Reiffel's bold colors and rhythmic lines, interrupted by angular brush strokes, challenged the conservative style of local plein-air paintings. These quintessentially modern works, however, reveal the artist's unique vision and "absolute command of the monumental landscape."*
The exhibition catalogue, produced by Marquand Books and designed by Annabelle Gould, features an essay by San Diego–area curator Bram Dijkstra that considers the writers and artists who inspired Reiffel's approach to art—from American transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, to painters such as Carl Marr. The 190-page book includes more than 70 full-color images and an exhibition timeline for Reiffel's work.
To learn more about the exhibition and purchase tickets, visit SDMA.

The Ford Focus has a robust structural foundation and features European-style suspension tuning that imparts a clear measure of fun to the driving experience. Even the base Focus S feels comfortable yet confident and responds quickly and predictably to all driver inputs.

"I drove every small manual transmission 4 door car and bought the Focus. This is my first new Ford and I am impressed. Just took a trip to Tennessee and averaged 39.1 there and back running 70-75 mph. My overall gas mileage for the first 11k miles is 33.6. This thing definitely has more power than the other cars and is very comfortable. No problems at all so far."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 12,000
overall rating 5 of 10rating detailsPros: "Nice, sporty design"
Cons: "poor fuel efficiency, transmition vibrates"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2
"This car was advertized as a very fuel efficient car with over 30 miles per gallon on highway and that was the only reason why we bought it. Nothing so far to be true!. A combined average of 23 is what we usually get with a hardly 25 per gallon on highway (in winter with no A/C), a total disappointment. Besides that, the automatic transmission is not as smooth as you might think for a new car and after taking the car twice to the dealer the only answer we got was that everything was ok but I dare you to try the car and you will notice what I am talking about. (when different people in the passenger seat mention the strange vibration on the transmission, that means something...)"

Canadian craigslist advertisement: Rare Vintage Grease, Center & Hub Cap Collection — FOR SALE — $25,000 (Denver, CO, USA).
It's a unique collection all right, with items ranging back to the 1800s and made of bronze, pewter, chrome and burnished brass. They run the gamut of manufacturers from Ford, Buick, Olds and Pontiac to Rolls Royce and Jaguar. Rarer items include Kaiser, Whippet, Peerless, Kissel Kar, Pierce-Arrow, Packard, Hayes, Willys Knight, Chandler, Terraplane, Pope-Hartford, LaSalle, LaFayette, Marmon, Dort, Durant, KRIT, Stutz, Moon, Houk, Maxwell and Hudson.
How Jane Withers a.k.a. Hub Cap Annie assembled the collection is an unlikely story.
A trained nurse, Ms. Withers recalls life in Arkansas in 1982, where she was employed in pharmaceutical sales. "I had been addicted to diet pills and when the company announced it was going to be marketing diet pills, I knew I wasn't going to be able to handle it," she says.
A friend told her he was quitting the pharmaceutical business to open a used hubcap business in St. Louis. The business model: Scour salvage yards for hubcaps, clean them up and then sell them for half of retail.
"I asked him why he would get into such a low-down, trashy business," Ms. Withers recalls. "But then it started to make sense to me."
She borrowed US$12,500, bought a broken-down Ford pickup and a collection of 600 hubcaps belonging to a police officer in Memphis, and headed for Denver, Colo. The truck broke down in Oklahoma, and again in Salina, Kan., where she had to transfer the caps to a new vehicle.
"I opened the U-Haul and they just clattered out of there," she says. "Let me tell you, picking up 600 hubcaps seemed like a hell of a lot of work on a hot day in Salina."
Ms. Withers describes her business plan as "one part ignorance and two parts denial." She says she had selected the name Hub Cap Annie and had pretty much decided to open for business on the day she arrived in Denver.
"I prayed that I would find the right place to open up shop, and then found exactly what I needed," she says. "1,000 square feet for $400 a month, with a double sink where I could wash hubcaps."
Collecting merchandise from salvage yards was a dirty business.
"I had a pair of yellow gloves that got filthy and when I got sweaty I brushed my forehead," she says. "I later found out I had dog poop in my hair. The salvage yard dogs use those hubcaps for toilets to show everyone who's boss."
Hub Cap Annie thrived, but hit rocky ground in 1986 when a police sting operation caught the business receiving stolen hubcaps.
"I knew better than to buy hubcaps that were sold to me four at a time," she says, "But I did it anyway and got caught."
The business barely survived, and her reputation suffered a severe shellacking.
"They were calling me Annie Capone," she recalls. "I was ashamed of what had happened and promised myself from that moment on to make sure the merchandise I sold was come by honestly."
Ms. Withers' reputation soon recovered. She says she was shocked that incorporating the story of her arrest into speeches actually increased demand for her services as a motivational speaker.
Over the years, the business grew to the point where Hub Cap Annie expanded into wheel sales, employed a dozen workers and maintained an inventory of 20,000 hub caps.
"At one time, I was doing TV commercials where I dressed up in a Valkyrie costume with a horned hat and a hub cap shield and posed on a highway overpass," she says. "I was being featured on network news, CNN and the BBC. I was so high on myself, I felt like I'd invented Pepsi."
Ms. Withers sold the business in 2008, but retained a selection of outstanding hubcaps and grease caps collected over a quarter-century. Five boards contain mounted caps purchased from a private collection. A sixth board from the same collection was purchased 10 years later from a local Rolls-Royce dealer. Ms. Withers added hundreds of caps to the collection herself.
"I love this collection," she says. "The designs are so ornate and the craftsmanship is so exquisite."
Ms. Withers has Canadian roots. Her mother was born in Montreal and her uncle was Roland Withers, president and general manager of General Motors of Canada from 1968 to 1972.
"I'd be happy to see the collection wind up at a dealership or an automobile association in Canada," she says.
Ms. Withers' autobiography, Hub Cap Annie — My Incredible Life and Times as America's Hub Cap Queen, is awaiting publication.

The community involved in outdoor recreation in Plumas County continues to expand. More and more outdoor adventure seekers are flooding the county's mountains and taking in the amazing views in the many activities available.
Partially responsible for the influx in outdoor enthusiasts is the Outdoor Recreational Leadership program at Feather River College. The department, headed by Rick Stock, brings in numerous nature-loving students every year.
The program has grown substantially since Stock took it over in 2000. Before Stock moved to Quincy he kayaked the Feather River many times. When the opportunity to move to Plumas County arose, he jumped on it. At the time, interest in outdoor recreation wasn't as large.
"What I found was the outdoor adventure craze that was really big in other places like Colorado hadn't really hit Plumas County yet," said Stock. "The resource base was here, but not many people were taking advantage of it."
When Stock finally settled he realized all the different outdoor opportunities Plumas County allowed. Many adventures are waiting to be had during the Plumas County winters. The snow covering the mountains provides world-class skiing only minutes away.
To encourage the community to get off the couch and explore the county, FRC is offering two skiing classes this winter, covering backcountry skiing and snowboarding and telemark skiing.
The telemark skiing class will start the winter off Feb. 1 – 3. The class costs $175 and includes lift tickets, transportation to Donner Summit and two nights lodging at Cal Lodge. All skill levels are invited to join.
The backcountry ski and snowboard class, which takes place Feb. 8 – 10, is geared toward those who already possess a certain skill base. The class doesn't focus on technical abilities, but rather how to use pre-existing abilities in the beauty of the backcountry.
"Backcountry skiing is not about making pretty turns on skis," said Stock. "It's about enjoying the mountains in the winter. The mountains around here are very accessible, so we want as many people as possible to enjoy them."
Each participant is responsible for bringing his or her own skis or snowboard. Group travel, avalanche protocol, avalanche forecasting, rescue and route finding will all be covered in the class.
"Anybody who wants access to the winter can get it around here," said Stock. "Anybody who wants privacy can get it. Anyone who wants safety in numbers can get it. Anyone who wants anything in between can get it. We have enough mountain for everyone."
Those interested in joining the telemark skiing class are invited to contact Darla DeRuiter at (530) 283-0202, ext. 262. Those interested in the backcountry ski and snowboard class can contact Saylor Flett at 283-0202, ext. 216.

A change of buttons
The devils are in the details. And when it comes to details of clothes, think buttons. That's partly what makes up for the price difference in clothes; trims are what inexpensive fast-fashion brands skimp on in order to save costs, and among those trims, buttons are the most noticeable. Thousands of button styles can be found in local button stores. In New York, M&J Trimming and Tender Buttons are great options.
So here's a glance of one-of-a-kind, quality buttons. Substitute your average mass-produced buttons for some of these to bring flair and uniqueness to your outfit. They can be sewn on by your local tailor or dry cleaners for $1 to $3 per button – small price to pay for an instant edge. We suggest trying them on blazers, dress shirts or cardigans.

Editor's Note: This story contains a quote that may be offensive to some readers.
The owner of a Rockingham nightclub that saw its alcohol permits suspended one week ago is accusing police of unfairly targeting his business, alleging that officers harass and intimidate his patrons.
And he said he believes mistreatment from some of the police officers is racially motivated.
Charles Pope, owner of P3 Bar & Night Club, located at 416 E. Broad Ave., told the Daily Journal this week that the Rockingham Police Department has singled out his business, and that he is being treated unfairly. Pope said reports from police officers of fights and trouble at his club are "extremely exaggerated," and "it's not like how they're trying to make it out to be."
Pope, who is white, said "the racial stuff is a biggie."
"I believe it's because the majority of my clientele are black Americans," Pope said, noting that the Rockingham Police Department is predominately white. He said it's not uncommon for uniformed officers to yell at his patrons and use racial slurs, including the N-word.
In response to Pope's allegations, Rockingham Police Chief Billy Kelly said the accusations are not true. Kelly said Pope is on the defensive and making false claims as a distraction from the state ABC Commission action suspending his permits to sell beer and mixed drinks.
The suspensions took immediate effect, according to a statement issued Oct. 19 by the NC Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. The order cites a growing pattern of violence at the club, as alleged by a parade of police officers who signed sworn affidavits recently.
"Sworn statements of law enforcement suggest that public safety seems to be at increasing risk when P3 is open, so the ABC Commission has made the determination that it is appropriate immediately to suspend the alcohol permits held by this business," said Zander Guy, Chairman of the ABC Commission.
"It's just one thing after another," Pope said, regarding police interference with his business. Pope alleges that on many weekend evenings, when his club was open, from 6 to 12 police cars were parked across the street. Officers also used traffic cones in nearby parking lots to keep P3 customers from using those lots, he said.
"The allegations he's making about treatment being racially motivated are inaccurate," Kelly said Friday. Kelly said he simply would not tolerate that type of behavior among his ranks.
Kelly also noted, "He's not come to me and made any complaints."
Pope recounted one night when a white police officer confronted a pair of his customers, two black men. The men were having a loud exchange of words, talking trash about who was better at a hand-held game they'd each played earlier. Pope said a white police officer in the parking lot yelled out to the men, "This ain't no nigger fight ring. Get your monkey asses back in your car and get back to the projects."
Pope said that's just one example of many similar incidents involving his customers and Rockingham police officers.
"I've never heard any of our officers make a comment like that … it's just an attempt on his part to make a case for his club," Chief Kelly said of Pope.
"We tried to work with Mr. Pope, and met with him several times … I have at my office and at his business. He has never once made any complaints whatsoever to me" regarding harassment or mistreatment from police officers.
Kelly said it's upsetting to hear such an allegation against one of his officers.
"Yes, it is (upsetting) because if that were true, I feel like he (Pope) would have called the chief and told him. It's only now, that his license is suspended, that he makes these allegations," Kelly said.
"Something like that is not something we tolerate, whatsoever," Kelly added. "I would not tolerate it — period."
Pope said he's also upset the police continue to cite an incident in February 2012 where authorities claim a P3 patron died after a bouncer allegedly used a "choke hold" to subdue the man. The P3 security guard involved in the incident was charged with voluntary manslaughter, however, a judge hearing evidence in the case earlier this month dismissed the criminal charge.
Court records dated Oct. 10 and signed by Judge Scott Brewer say the judge found "no probable cause."
Kelly acknowledged the case was dismissed but said that February night was just one of many violent episodes occurring at P3 and needed to be mentioned in recent affidavits to show the ABC the "totality of the incidents."
Pope did admit that there have been nights where a large crowd got unruly, and nights when he's even called for police intervention, but he said the troublemakers are not his customers but instead are outsiders who enter the property intending to cause a scene.
Pope, who opened the club in early 2011, said his vision was to create a Cheers-like establishment, and he said that's what P3 is, a safe and friendly place to go.
"We have that friendly neighborhood atmosphere," he said.
The club was usually open Thursday through Sunday nights, offering drinks and entertainment. Pope said his security staff of about six men do a good job keeping order at the club.
Numerous police affidavits paint a starkly different picture of the club that sits across from a Food Lion and next to a gun shop that is hugged by coils of razor wire.
One police officer stated in his affidavit, "My concern regarding P3 is that every week things are getting worse and eventually more people will be killed due to the weapons in the cars. I have observed bouncers instigate fights … ."
Kelly said Friday that the ABC Commission acted to suspend the permits of P3 based on a repeated pattern of violent activity that appeared to be escalating.
Many of the officers echoed a similar statement: "The majority of the calls (involving P3) are for fights but they have also included assaults, disturbances, intoxicated people in the roadway, damage to property, subjects with a gun, and shots fired calls," according to affidavits filed with the ABC Commission.
Kelly said Pope will have a chance to appeal the permit suspensions and can call for a hearing with ABC officials.
"Once he appeals the suspension, he'll have a chance to bring any evidence to court, including any complaints against the Rockingham Police Department," Kelly said.
Kelly added that formal complaints made against the Rockingham Police Department are thoroughly investigated to determine if any policies were violated and any laws violated.
Pope said he intends to fight the suspensions, and as part of that he hopes to gather his own collection of statements from customers who say they've been mistreated by police. Pope said the club hasn't been open for business since the permits were suspended Oct. 19, but he plans on being at the club the nights of Nov. 1-3 and is reaching out to the public to stop in and share stories of how they were treated by city police.
Although Pope said, "I'm not saying all Rockingham police officers are that way," he said he has plenty of customers who feel they've been treated unfairly.
Many of the police officers who gave sworn statements tell a different story, and talk of aggressive behavior from crowds that have made the officers fear for their own safety, and that of the general public.
"The crowds are always unruly and have no respect for law enforcement," said one 8-year veteran of the force. "I am very concerned for my safety as well as the other agencies that are called to assist us," he said.

A lot of us can get pretty animated when we start talking about being vegetarian or vegan. Now, our plant-based persuasions are getting animated in a new series, Vegtoons. As its name suggests, Vegtoons is a Web-based animated series that educates viewers about the benefits of a plant-based diet. Here's a clip from the first episode featuring the stars of the show—an unassuming manatee, a world-weary orangutan, and a pampered apologist pup.
Vegtoons is the brainchild of vegan Greg Singer, who caught cartoon fever while working for DreamWorks Feature Animation, Fox Feature Animation, and Cartoon Network. To bring his vision to life, he enlisted the help of his friends, the vegetarian founders of Cartoon Saloon, the animation studio behind the Oscar-nominated feature The Secret of Kells.
In order to get the fledgling project off the ground and onto the Internet, he set up a Kickstarter fundraising page and—get this—is asking vegetarians and vegans to spare just $1. If 16,000 of us do so, he'll be able to make the inaugural episode of Vegtoons a reality and propel the series onto computer screens around the world, spreading the vegetarian message along the way.
As Greg explains on the show's Kickstarter page, "Your pledge is your vote. By the simple act of supporting the show, you are contributing to a global future based on compassion, sustainability, and justice." And everyone who contributes to the show gets backer-exclusive e-mail updates and will be entered to win prizes.

Shiznit. If what you are saying about Wimmers is true, that is awful. What the hell happened? Bad luck and scouting has become the Twin's Organizations best friend. Notes should be taken on soft throwers as they are on hard throwers to predict arm injury. This team is a long ways out from contending again. I might have to start attending little league baseball games to see a game effectively executed. I'd rather do that than watch the Saints play. Cool Logo, but watching washed up sub AAA play baseball players give it a go is not on my radar.
Good piece, Nick.
I especially liked your last sentence about calling for people to "step the hell up". We knew this team was flawed, but they're capable of playing better than this.
A lot if the fans ire is directed at TR and Gardy, and some of that is justified (especially in TR's case as you pointed out). But utlimately, players have to go out and perform. The fact the a bunch of fringe MLB players have been suffled in and out does not excuse the lame-ass uninspired baseball we've seen from the regulars.
I was not expecting this either. This latest hitting slump is really tough to watch. I think Ryan did a decent job in the offseason by bringing in Carrol, Willingham, and Doumit. Right now though, the only guy in the lineup with the potential to go deep is Willingham. In retrospect, knowing that Morneau was iffy at best to bounce back, they should have tried to resign Kubel to keep another pro hitter in the lineup.
The lack of starting pitching remains the largest concern though. It's going to take some great moves/trades to reload.
I mentioned this quite a bit last year---that we were going to be the worst team in baseball( this season). How can you improve when you don't re-sign your base(Kuble, Cuddyer,Nathan) and make terrible decisions like the Wilson Ramos trade and the giving away of Hardy? I mentioned that I thought that if Hendricks is our future in pitching we are in trouble. Some did not like this! The solution was to keep our core of players until the A-level players arrived( 2-3 years) and sign free agents pitchers. I know this takes money, but the Pohlad family has the ability to do this. Example: the Cardinals--a model franchise. A francise considered mid-market, which we are now. To use a baseball term- "The Pohlads, or ownership, has not stepped up to the plate. Cutting payroll with a new stadium is terrible thing to do to the fans. Can you imagine what it is going to be like in mid-summer? Yes, with a weak farm system at the high level--the only solution to have a competitive team in the short term is to sign quality free agents, especially pitchers.
I didn't attend the games, but have two thoughts. First, since almost all our pitchers are dying on the mound, this comes from studying Jim Kaat. As he neared the end of his career his success started to fall off. So he started pitching at a faster pace. It accomplished two things. First the defense was more on their toes because the game was speeding up. Second it didn't give the hitters as much time to regroup. A study was done several years ago of a college team. The longer they were able to wait between pitches the more success they had hitting. They repeated the test and had similar results. Second, the Twin's organization favors pitchers using the slider as a favored pitch. This pitch is considered hard on the arm. Maybe that's where all the arm injuries are coming from. Maybe they should change that thought to a cutter like Rivera throws, or a sinker. The Giants favored the fork ball in the 80's and also experienced a large amount of arm injuries so the Twin's could be suffering from a similar fate, I'm just saying....
I had the same experience in Anaheim, and the Twins did not even get a single hit that night. The team seemed to be just going through the motions -- not enjoying the honor of being MLB players.I was in attendance in Seattle for all three games. Been to a lot of major leader games in my life and never have I witnessed such a hopeless depressed group. I had great seats though.
Fortunately, Terry Ryan should have plenty of budget to fill at least two rotation spots with quality pitchers next season.
Unfortunately, the lineup is also in dire need of upgrades at 5 spots; and even if Morneau is healthy next year, he'll probably need to be replaced in 2014, too. I don't think money alone could fix enough holes to make the team a contender anytime soon. I expect we'll have to wait for Ryan to rebuild the farm system before we get back to enjoying pennant races again.
Yeah, I mean until last week, Span, Mauer, and Morneau were all healthy. That condition was the main thing, to me, in making this a potentially winning season. What on earth?
1. Some trade or FA pitching signing MUST happen this year/this offseason. And it must be damn serious. No more Marquis stuff.
2. Everyone should just stop talking about the magical "BPA" in the draft and just admit that the top two picks should be pitchers and out of the top 15, perhaps 10 should be pitchers.
Nice honest article. We see too much homerism around here and not enough reality.
Bottom line is if Ryan screws up this upcoming draft the team will drift off into the abyss like it did in th 90's. I don't have much hope in Ryan or his scouting department as they have royally bombed in the draft in recent years and always seem to gravitate towards low-ceiling pitchers and toolsy OF's that never seem to develop.
Ryan needs to go if this org has any chance of avoiding the moniker "Pittsburg West".
This has been more than depressing. What I don't understand is why this lineup isn't more potent? Mr. Ryan did a good job filling the holes in the lineup with the budget he had available this winter. Defensively, they aren't as bad as they were last year, expecially at shortstop. In hindsight, his moves to sign many bullpen options appears to be holding as several are doing well and Burton has been great.
But as a wise man once said, "you are only as good as your next starting pitcher." And our next starting pitcher is likely to be worse than his opponent...day after day after day. Now count me amongst those who believe that Liam Hendriks will be a very good major league pitcher, perhaps similar to Brad Radke. But that is only one of five in the rotation and he needs most of this year at AAA. Where are the other four going to come from?
As much as many would like the problem solved tomorrow, that isn't going to happen. I assume that Mr. Ryan has a calendar and has circled 2014 or 2015 as the year he will get us back into contention. Every major move he makes will be part of that overall plan, beginning with June's draft and July's trades. The other moves of picking up some of these guys on waivers (Thomas, Komatsu) isn't part of that plan, those are done to try to become less bad today.
As we lose every day, I ask, where is the leadership in the clubhouse? When is one of our highly paid players going to step up and say "get on my back and I will lead us to victory?"
When I saw the title and the dark cloud picture, I wanted to roll my eyes and say "Uggh, another negative article. But then I read through it and there really isn't anything that I can disagree with. I will almost always choose to try to find positive, but this year it is going to be really difficult. And unfortunately, as much as I look forward to seeing more and more young players, the losing is not going to go away for a long time... and it all comes down to, as others have said, the starting pitching.
I remain, to some extent, less worried about the offense, although when Morneau is not in the lineup, it certainly seems not very potent.
As Nick wrote to start the article, there is no way I could have anticipated it being this bad. And I only predicted 77 wins... and dropped that to 72 when Baker was hurt. Now I'm thinking 72 is really, really optimistic! they would have to go 65-70, just five games below .500 the rest of the way... can anyone see that happening?
Great article, Nick.
This ownership is getting embarrassed. They will not continue to take the losing with the awful play and with have heads rolling soon. If it doesn't happen in-season it will happen right after the season. They fired Bill Smith last year. First time we have seen the Pohlad's do that. They see this organization as a money making business. If they don't make money with this business, they will blame the people in charge(TR and Coaching Staff) and find people that will make them the money that is expected.
This is not the '80's nor is it the '00's because what you did 10 years or 30 years ago is in the past. The entire organization is 2 or 3 steps behind most teams in baseball. There needs to be new, younger minds running this organization and I feel the Pohlads will do just that if this continues.
I do think people's jobs need to be lost. They have been lost for a lot less!
You can talk about siging free agents, but who would want to play here...NOW! And the Twins don't throw money around. Hate the comparison to Pittsburgh, ut the team will be forced to build a roster from other organizations 26th and 27th players and wait for the minors to unfold.
The need for FA pitching is a must, but actually Marquis has been one of our better starters (not that that's saying much). At this point I'd take 3 more Marquis as opposed to Liriano, Hendricks and Blackburn. The good news is that over the weekend, Gardy actually said we need to find a bunch of these guys that throw in the mid 90's and bring them up through the system - a possible change in philosophy over our pitch to contact philosophy?
Of course the last rainbow of this storm we're putting up with this season is two straight years with a #1 or #2 pick in the draft. Now if we can just pick a Bryce Harper and Steven Strassberg.
I predicted a 72-88 season (apparently I can't add to 162). To reach the 72 mark, they will need to win 65 of their next 135 games. A .481 clip – seemingly do-able but I have no faith that it will happen.
As I have said repeatedly for more than a year, I believe that this franchise is stagnant and, like a pool of stagnant water, the stench is getting worse over time. There is very little change in the leadership of this organization – on the field or in the front office. Even when there are changes, they typically promote from within or recycle. No one was ever hired to challenge their belief systems or to inject new energy, talent and ideas. Even if you think you are performing perfectly, being challenged by the ideas of others helps you to refine your own performance.
Interestingly, when he stepped down from the GM's job, Terry Ryan was quoted in the Star Tribune as follows: "The game has changed since I've entered," Ryan said. "It's for bright, energetic negotiators, moreso than anything I possess."
I think he was right. I think the Twins made a mistake in promoting Bill Smith but I don't think that recycling Terry Ryan is the answer. I strongly favor hiring a new GM from outside the organization – someone with some baseball knowledge – who can sift through what the Twins are doing with a fresh eye and to keep what works and revamp what doesn't.
I don't think that job can be done by a Twins "insider" like Ryan. He and other longtime Twins management staff members have too much of a personal investment in what they have done in the past and in the personnel who currently occupy key positions with the club.
I'm not calling for a clean sweep of all front office and coaching staff but I do think that they need to come under the scrutiny of a strong baseball personality with a fresh eye. I'm not sure who that would be but I'm sure that others will have some suggestions.
Even though he took the loss tonight, what a complete game performance by Slegers. Really enjoyed watching him throw harder as the game got more...

Arrived very quickly - just what I needed, as my son learnt to climb stairs in the blink of an eye. Just don't try putting it up with twin toddlers on the loose! They're very helpful in their own way.
Having never shopped from kiddies kingdom before I wasn't sure what to expect. I was extremely happy with the service and products received. The communication was excellent and free next day tuned delivery was superb.
The cot and mattress we ordered is if the highest quality and we're extremely happy with it.
We'll defiantly be using them again
Very impressed with the service . Would recommend to anyone who is buying on line.
On Sunday afternoon, I found the narrow stairgate and child's car seat I needed at Kiddies Kingdom. The price was right and I qualified for free delivery. I received a text at around 8.00am on Tuesday to say the parcel would be with me between 10 and 11, giving me the option to change this.
I would recommend using Kiddies Kingdom. I received the goods more cheaply and quicker than I could have collected them (43miles away). 5 Stars!
I was very impressed with how quickly the pushchair I ordered arrived
Bought the car seat on a weekend had it by the Tuesday. Good service, no hassels through the process.
I bought this buggy to sample against another I was toying with. Unfortunately, the buggy wasnt for me but the price of it was the cheapest I had found anywhere else which I was very impressed with. On delivery it was very well packed and in the condition you would expect.
The only down side was that to return the product I had to foot the bill. It was my fault for not checking this before hand and I also understand its a bulky heavy product to pay out for twice.
But that said it I was certain of the item I was buying to to have to return it I would definitely recommend using Kiddie Kingdom. But the return cost to me was a let down.
The company itself was good - the order went through with no problem and dispatch was prompt. Unfortunately the delivery company was not as good. It accepted an (admittedly late) instruction to deliver to neighbours so I went out and then they tried (and obviously failed) to deliver to me. Their customer service when I phoned to sort it out was slow and not massively helpful.
great offer, fast delivery and come as described - great will kiddies kingdom again.
THe items arrived promptly and we are pleased with them. I am really pleased with the cosy toes and the buggy bag is great. It did not however fit our pushchair but as my daughter had to get a smaller one for holidays the holdall is perfect for putting the buggy in the plane hold as it will protect it. All in all a very happy customer.
would recomend to anyone as they kept me up-to date with emails and was deliverd on time very reliable company would deffinately use again :)
Item arrived quickly and was exactly as expected. Best price I could find on the net. Good website, easy to use. Will shop here again
We purchased some bedroom furniture and unfortunately two of the three items arrived with damage to some panels.
These things happen but the way it was dealt with was first class. At no stage was this a problem to Kiddies Kingdom, they kept me informed throughout and fully arranged the collection and new delivery.
I would not hesitate to purchase from them and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Kiddies Kingdom was the only place that had stock of the Quinny footmuff in the colour we wanted. Reasonable price, quick delivery. Will use again.
My daughter had shown me the highchair she wanted for her daughter (my granddaughter) - Concord Spin Highchair-Brown/Lava
Checking on line through a price comparison site Kiddies Kingdom came out the cheapest and in stock!!!
I received emails to confirm my order and emails to notify me that it was to be despatched - it was to be delivered to my daughters home address - they even gave a one hour time slot for it to be delivered (and it arrived exactly within the time slot)
I would recommend this company for further purchases
Also I would like to mention that I live in Crete and it was peace of mind that my order arrived promptly.
I was shopping around for a Quinny Zapp Xtra , when I discovered the cheapest on Kiddicare Kingdom. I have to tell that I was pleased with the choice and very happy with the price tag. A big bonus was the fact that had a next day delivery and free of charge.
First of all we have obtained a high quality product with a decent price. It was very easy to shop and the delivery of the product was simply amazingly fast and secure. Thank you very much for your fantastic service. I strongly recommend you to everybody.
The item was easy to order and arrived by next day delivery as promised.
Great product as described for our baby boy who is due Aug.
Highly recommend this company!!
I ordered a buggy and a car seat together, the car seat was out of stock and the company notified me very quickly and gave me a timescale of when they would get stock. In addition they also offered me a different car seat in the same price bracket which was available immediately - this was ideal as I needed the item quite quickly.
Good customer service and good sales technique - too many companies these days wouldn't bother to find a equivelent item for a customer.
I was slightly dissappointed that the seat was not in it's original box when it arrived, which made me wonder if it was a display one - however it was in good condition and i have kept it.
Both items arrived very quickly.
first time ordering from here and got to say it has been brilliant service. we ordered the tommee tippee cold water steriliser as it was at a reduced price and better than other stores. the transaction was quick and easy. i also recieved an email telling me exactly what was happening with my order (order processed, order dispatched) and was given an hour time frame of when to expect delivery which was very convenient saving alot of time waiting around all day. it was delivered exactly when they said and was very happy with my purchase. overall really quick, easy, no hassle, providing the customer with brilliant service. would order again and recommend to others!
Had never heard off or ordered from hear before so l was not sure what to expect. Decided to go ahead as the Winnie the Pooh Moses basket was the cheapest I could find anywhere and l had my heart set on the one. Item came when expected and in good condition. The whole process was fast and easy. I love the Moses basket and stand and have already recommended this company to a friend. Would defiantly use again.
Item as described. Vy quick dispatch and delivery. Very happy customer.
Hiya we are so grateful for the friendly service you gave to us when we were so badly let down with another company you came to the rescue the delivery was so quick I will recommend you to other people 5 star+
Thank you
Brilliant communication from start to finish, I would highly recommend anyone to use Kiddies Kingdom without exception. Just perfect good old fashioned customer service, a company that still makes the customer feel first!
Amazing site I ordered a quinny zapp extra and received it the next day! They also give a one hour delivery window so you no when it's going to arrive, not many companies offer that service, I will defiantly be ordering from them again.
Excellent no problems and delivered when they said it would be.
My daughter-in-law found this site for me and found this very good value for money buggy, no postage and packing to pay and I received it two days later with an email even giving me expected delivery time. Excellent service would recommend to anyone. Love the buggy too to keep at my house for my little grandson.
From paying for the goods to having them delivered, this company notified me by email of every stage. The delivery company even text me to give me a time slot when the goods were to be delivered and asked if I preferred to have the goods delivered to a specific neighbour. I will definitely use this company in the future and would recommend it to anyone.
This is rather a belated review, as I purchased a Troll bedside crib from Kiddies Kingdom before Christmas. However, I recently had unsatisfactory dealings with another online retailer and it reminded me that I really should make more of an effort to celebrate the good guys. I found Imran in customer services friendly, helpful, understanding and responsive. An absolute credit to the company and exactly what you want customer services to be. Not only that, but Kiddies Kingdom provided a quality product at a competitive price and used a courier who delivered when they said they would. Wholeheartedly recommend.
Car seats were just as needed and the best prices available. All delivered perfectly.
Initially ordered a Kiddie Cruiserfix Pro from Bambino Direct (£10 cheaper)...but ended up waiting and waiting for over 3 weeks and eventually I had to cancel as they kept moving the delivery date.
Same night I found it on Kiddies Kingdom and ordered it. Within 2 days it had arrived. I received 7 emails to notify me of the order status - Welcome, Order Confirmation, Pending, Processing, Dispatched, Delivery time - and one when I requested it to be delivered to my neighbour !
Best Internet service I've experienced so far (better than Amazon) and well worth the extra £10. I'd happily give them £20 !!
I was impressed how easy it was to place the order. Delivery was on time and as instructed. My only concern was a text message that I received on the morning of delivery to say that I needed to be at home to sign for the order. This was the first time that you had mentioned that condition. I sent a text back asking that you comply with my delivery directions and I am pleased to say that you did, despite me not being there.
I was searching for a certain car seat and after contacting the manufacturer they told me kiddie kingdom had them instock. I checked online and they weren't yet loaded onto the website but one quick email to kiddie kingdom and they loaded the car seat online that day ready for me to purchase! Now that's great service!! :)
Order arrived in super speedy time, next day and I didn't order until 2pm the day before. Would use again.
We brought a stroller for my baby to use on holiday.
Found this website to be the cheapest and once ordered the item was delivered really quickly. Great customer service, updates by email and text messages to advise the name of driver delivering. Would definatly recommend.
I was looking for a great value car seat for my daughter and followed Which? advice for the Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro. After searching the net I found an excellent price for the colour I was looking for at Kiddies Kingdom. Despatch was prompt and excatly as described. I cannot fault the service, product or price - GREAT Value
Very fast and efficient service, plus the delivery address was different to my PayPal address and the company contacted me to ensure that I had placed the order. A good service to ensure my card had not been misused. Well done Kiddicare.

This weekend I went to pick up my race packet for Corktown and the shirt, as usual, was too big. It's worth noting that Spike, knowing my shirt issues, ordered me a youth size large in hopes that the shirt would fit a little better since they didn't have women's cut shirts. The result:
I don't mean to rag on Corktown specifically, this is an issue that I have found across the board. The shirts hardly ever fit, usually due to being boxy unisex shirts. Even when sized small or extra small they still don't fit me or any of the many other smaller framed women athletes I see at races. How many of you have a drawer full of race shirts that don't fit you properly because they are too big? I'd dare say most of you are nodding your head in agreement while easily conjuring up images of your many ill-fitting shirts. Here's just a small sampling of what I have in my drawer:
These were spared the donation pile only because I had so few long sleeved shirts when I first moved to Michigan.
I can't tell you how many shirts that have gone straight to the donation pile because they were too large to even train in. One in particular that I was especially sad about was my BAA 5k shirt from 2010. They only had unisex shirts with a minimal amount of smaller sizes and most people had swapped down to the next size leaving almost everyone I know that ran the race with a shirt that was way too big for them because they had run out of the smaller shirts by the time we made it to packet pickup.
Sad Panda.
Now I know that the gentlemen runners out there still make up more than half of the foot race population but isn't anyone noticing that women are creeping up behind them in the ranks?!?! Not only that but don't race directors want their race promoted on the fronts of all runners; big, small, men and women alike? How often do you wear your race shirts that fit compared to those that don't? I think it's safe to assume that most of your fitted shirts see more daylight hours then those larger, ill-fitting ones that don't, so why are race directors passing up the opportunity for this free advertising by insisting on giving us ill-fitting shirts we won't/can't wear?
Actually, this gives me an idea!!!
I want to see YOUR best fitting and worst fitting tech race shirts.
You can either send them to me via email (for those of you that don't blog) or post them on your own blog. If you post on your blog please let me know and also link back to this post. I'll compile a list of everyone that participated as well as compile all of those that sent via email and post again about this on Friday. Let's put the deadline for participation as end of day Thursday, March 8th. My email is: redheadrunning (@) gmail.com and I am armed with Photoshop for those of you who wish to participate but would like to remain anonymous. Also, use #onesizedoesnotfitall or #sizematters when tweeting!
Together we can make a difference! Just think, we women running bloggers out-blog male running bloggers easily so if everyone posts just once about this maybe, just maybe, we can catch a headline on Runner's World or over on Active.com and race directors will take note. It can't hurt to try and if nothing else, we'll at least know which races DO have women's fitted race shirts!
Can I please get a shirt that fits?!?!

If All Else Fails: The Challenges of Containing a Nuclear-Armed Iran
Type of Publication: ReportDate: 05/13/2013Dr. Colin H. Kahl, Raj Pattani and Jacob Stokes argue in If All Else Fails: The Challenges of Containing a Nuclear-Armed Iran that the Obama administration could eventually be forced to shift to a policy of containing a nuclearized Iran despite its commitment to pursue a prevention strategy. The authors outline a comprehensive framework to manage and mitigate the consequences should Iran acquire a nuclear weapons capability, noting that such planning and preparation is needed "not because the United States wants to take this path, but because it may eventually become the only path left."

Atomic Kingdom: If Iran Builds the Bomb, Will Saudi Arabia Be Next?

However, CNAS Senior Fellow Colin Kahl, Visiting Fellow Melissa G.

Risk and Rivalry: Iran, Israel and the Bomb
Author(s): Dr. Colin H.

In Risk and Rivalry: Israel, Iran and the Bomb, authors Dr. Colin H. Kahl, Melissa G. Dalton and Matthew Irvine argue that despite the abhorrent threats by some Iranian leaders to "wipe Israel off the map," the actual behavior of the Islamic Republic over the past three decades indicates that the regime is not suicidal and is sufficiently rational for nuclear deterrence.

Lt. Gov.: More disclosure would help public trust
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon says requiring politicians and other elected officials to disclose more information about their financial interests is needed to help restore faith among Illinois residents who've seen their last two governors sent to prison for corruption.
Simon and state Sen. Dan Kotowski, D-Park Ridge, are planning to introduce legislation Thursday that would overhaul a 40-year-old financial disclosure system that critics have long scoffed at as meaningless. They say the proposal would allow more scrutiny of whether conflicts of interest exist, in part by requiring politicians to fill out more specific financial disclosure forms.
"I think many (Illinois residents) are hesitant to put faith in elected leaders because they think we're self-dealing," Simon told The Associated Press. "The vast majority of folks are in office for the public good. But I don't think you'd know it from our current forms."

El Paso Policeman Beaten To Death To Be Buried At Fort Bliss Cemetary Friday
By Fred Martino
An El Paso policeman who died two weeks after he was badly beaten will be honored this week with several ceremonies.
Officer Jonathan Molina suffered a fractured skull and internal head injuries while off-duty Sept. 25 after confronting 17-year-old Juan Antonio Gonzalez and two others who were vandalizing his personal car.
Gonzalez was later arrested and is charged with capital murder and held on a $5 million bond.
The 29-year-old officer, who died Friday, will be honored with a funeral service and burial Friday at the Fort Bliss National Cemetery
