"I ordered these invitations for my daughter's first birthday party. I was having trouble picking out a photo of my baby girl that most of the other cards required. I decided to go with this selection because it did not require a photo. I was doubting my choice until the cards arrived in the mail and I opened them. They were perfect! Absolutely beautiful!!!!"
"An added bonus to complement this fresh design— this card comes in a larger 4x6 format! It's the perfect size to showcase your special occasion in an understated, yet impactful way."
"The invitation was even more adorable in person. We were so pleased with the professional quality. I couldn't believe how nice they looked. The invitations really looked like they were designed specifically for my little girl."
"I loved this invitation. Every one loved it as well. I had so many complements. I used this for my daughters first birthday party. The paper quality was awesome and I still love looking at them. Take it from someone who is very picky about these things :)"
"We are using this for my soon-to-be three year old daughter's "music" theme party. It met with her approval immediately, which, if you know any three year olds, should say it all!"

Dear Friends & Family,
I am writing to you on behalf of Lindsi Young.
This year's campaign is very important not just to our family but to all that knew Lindsi. We walk each year in memorial of Lindsi and her fight to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes and putting a stop to losing our children. When Lindsi was born it was our instinct to protect her from harm and when Lindsi was diagnosed it became our full time goal to protect her even more. This will be our fourth year as part of the JDRF Walk for a Cure. Lindsi chose her team name the first year due to her love for PEACE signs. We will be joining in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes which will be held on October 5, 2013 at Shelby Farms. Even though Lindsi is not physically here with us her drive and determination keep us motivated to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.
Camille, National Volunteer Chair for JDRF Advocacy, posed a question. She asked all of us is "Who do you walk for?" Camille is a parent of a child who suffers with type 1 diabetes. Camille has fears each time her child has an issue…JDRF says everyone has a reason to walk. Who's your #1?
As most of you know, our beloved granddaughter, Lindsi Young passed away September 29, 2010 at the young age of 13 years old. Lindsi was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile diabetes eighteen months earlier at the age of eleven. Our loss of Lindsi was devastating, just as juvenile diabetes is devastating to every family that lives with it. Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.
This year we walk to remember Lindsi and her 18 month journey with Type 1 diabetes. Two years ago Lindsi passed away three days before the 2010 JDRF walk due to an EMT making a wrong medical call. Lindsi was unconscious due to late night severe hypoglycemia. If mild or moderate hypoglycemia isn't treated right away, it can turn into severe hypoglycemia. People with severe hypoglycemia usually pass out. If you pass out, someone should call 911 right away to get immediate medical attention. We called 911 an EMT answered our call. When she arrived, we tried to explain the fact that Lindsi was a brittle diabetic and had low blood sugars. Despite our pleas to the EMT to treat Lindsi's diabetes, she listed Lindsi diagnosis as a possible drug over dose. This mistake delayed the critical care Lindsi needed for over 24 hours. On September 29, 2010 our lives changed forever when Lindsi passed away at Le Bonheur Hospital.
Last year the "Peace 4 Lindsi" walk team raised $6,000 and this year we would like to do that again, but we cannot do it without your support. My prayer is that we continue to honor Lindsi, not only by participating in the JDRF walk, but raising awareness. Our family would like to ask you to join in our efforts to help with this goal. Our team name is still "Peace 4 Lindsi." Please sign up to walk and donate whatever you can. Also, forward this link to your family and friends and ask them to sponsor you or join you at the walk.
For those who may not be aware…The JDRF Ambassadors in Memphis set up a memorial fund in Lindsi's honor. Through this fund they have been able to sponsor 7 children so that they can attend Camp Hopewell. Not only does this help the families and children it also gives us hope in knowing that Lindsi did not die in vain. Instead her memory will live on and others will continue to remember her and her fight.
On August 26 we would have celebrated Lindsi's 16th birthday. She would be in her thrid year in high school and learning how to drive. She had so many dreams and plans like any teenager. But in one moment a misdiagnosis by an EMT shattered her dreams and she was gone.
Please stop and take one moment and go to http://www2.jdrf.org/goto/lindsiyoung

Thank you

Authorities say a Wynona man was hired to break and train two horses but instead made off with them. Michael John Delaney II pleaded guilty last week on two felony counts of larceny of a domestic animal.
Authorities say Delaney took the horses in for training but failed to return them at the owner's request. Special Ranger Bart Perrier with the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association located one of the horses that had been traded.
Chief Investigator Charlie Cartwright with the Osage County Sheriff's Office also investigated the crime.
Delaney received a 10-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay $4,200 in restitution and court costs.

Parents Greatly Underestimate Children's Secondhand Smoke Exposure
A new study finds parents greatly underestimate their children's exposure to secondhand smoke. While 13 percent of parents said their children were exposed to cigarette smoke, blood tests showed the rate was 55 percent.
In children, secondhand smoke can cause ear infections, more frequent and severe asthma attacks, respiratory symptoms and infections, and a greater risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, tested 496 blood samples from young children. The study tested blood levels of cotinine, a chemical produced by the body after it is exposed to nicotine, Reuters reports.
In the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, the researchers noted children do not necessarily need to be around someone who is smoking in order to be exposed to secondhand smoke. They can be exposed if they spend time in a room where someone has recently been smoking.
Cotinine testing is not readily available to the general public, according to study co-author Dr. Neal Benowitz.

Hello Folks,
Tore up the wall to see whether I can adjust the carrier (the waste horn is 1/2" too high). Of course this kind of, ahem, 'carrier' cannot be adjusted. I posted a photo. I see two options:
#1 Rip out all the wood, cut new wood and screw it in again. Kind of a pain because I have to tear stuff out of the framing. Plus I don't trust it much with a heavy toilet like a Glenwall.
#2 Re-plumb for floor discharge. This has three challenges. The floor has a thick mudbed and it'll destroy the tile. Oh well, I don't mind tiling. The 2nd is venting since it's tight down there and I'd have to 'detour' the old stack around the floor discharge pipe to vent downstream as code requires. Can I run 2" vent down there and tap it in or does it have to be 3" up to the toilet trap height?
The biggest challenge with #2 is that I'd like to get rid of that little addition. The ABS is really tight in there and I don't know how to saw it off and cap it so it still acts as a vent, is per code and won't protrude into the new drywall or Hardibacker.
Any ideas?
Regards, Joerg.

Nearly 7,000 people die annually from illnesses directly related to smoking and approximately 751 die from illnesses and fires indirectly related to smoking, for a total of 7,717 annual deaths in Wisconsin. Tobacco use also costs Wisconsin approximately $4.5 billion annually in health care expenses and lost productivity. This website provides information and links to tobacco use prevention and tobacco addiction treatment resources in Wisconsin.
2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, which was first published in January of 1964. That report first detailed the numerous and severe health consequences of tobacco use. For more on that report and the tobacco prevention and control accomplishments it paved the way for, visit http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/initiatives/tobacco/index.html (exit DHS).
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that four out of five U.S. adults report having smoke-free rules in their homes and three out of four report having smoke-free rules in their vehicles. The CDC's report is consistent with the 2011 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data that found 83% of Wisconsin households with children do not allow smoking inside the home. While progress has been made in this area, the CDC report also found that 11 million non-smoking adults continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in their home, and almost 17 million non-smoking adults continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke in a vehicle. Learn more about the CDC's study (exit DHS) or view the Wisconsin BRFSS data.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Pelfrey Solid As Kernels Win 11th StraightBy Douglas Miles (Story) and Josh Christensen (Video)
CEDAR RAPIDS — Minnesota Twins pitcher Mike Pelfrey arrived in Cedar Rapids on Monday to take the mound for a rehabilitation start for the Cedar Rapids Kernels, tasked not only with testing his healing back, but mindful of a text message from a current Kernel.
"I'm good friends with Tyler Grimes, he's also another Wichita State guy that lives in Wichita," Pelfrey said. "He texted me and said, 'Hey, we're on a 10-game win streak' and I said, 'Hey, I don't need any extra pressure.' I didn't want to be the guy to end it." Pelfrey did his part, yielding just two hits, two runs, and no walks in a crisp 70-pitch performance over six innings to earn the win as the Kernels extended their winning streak to 11 games, 6-3, over Peoria before 2,246 fans at Veterans Memorial Stadium, which included a noticeable walk-up contingent. The win streak is the longest for Cedar Rapids (51-28, 11-0 second half) since winning 13 straight in 2009 and their third straight series sweep. "It was good, I got everything in that I usually do, you know, prepared the way I usually do, and it worked out well," said Pelfrey, who reported no back discomfort following the game. Pelfrey was 3-6 with a 6.11 earned run average before straining his back June 22 while running the day before his scheduled start. The Twins placed the 29-year-old on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 19. The eight-year veteran and ninth overall pick in 2005 pitched his first seven seasons with the New York Mets, winning 15 games in 2010. Pelfrey missed almost all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery to repair a ligament in his pitching elbow, and signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Twins in December. Pelfrey could return to the Twins rotation as early as Saturday, and judging from his night in Cedar Rapids, there was no evidence to the contrary despite an early mistake. With two outs in the top of the first, Peoria's Jacob Wilson hit his 12th home run this season when he crushed a Pelfrey fastball over the center field fence. "The fastball command wasn't great," Pelfrey said. "I was kind of all over the place and you know no matter what level you're at you can't really get by with belt-high fastballs down the middle and he made me pay for it." From there, Pelfrey retired 13 straight and with a pitch count well below the club-imposed limit of 75, he returned for the sixth inning. He gave up a leadoff triple and hit a batter, but retired the final three batters with just one run allowed. He struck Wilson out looking, his sixth, to end his day. "I was just starting to get the command of my fastball back, which is very important to have to succeed, obviously at the big-league level," Pelfrey said. "I think at the end of the day I walked off feeling good." Pelfrey noted the convenience of having a close affiliate to the Twin Cities, which allowed his family to accompany him on the drive. "They told me four hours, but I don't think they factored in two little kids," Pelfrey said with a laugh. "This is a nice facility, definitely one of the better ones I've played at in the minor leagues." Though Monday was his first trip to Cedar Rapids, the former Wichita State star had memories of many Missouri Valley tussles with Northern Iowa. "It was cold days there," Pelfrey said. "I remember them, we got snowed out one Friday, and we showed up Saturday and they were like shoveling snow off. I put my foot in front of the heater and burned a hole in my shoe. That was my memory of Northern Iowa." Kernels catcher Michael Quesada noted the differences in catching a big-leaguer. "It makes my job a whole lot easier, I'll tell you that," Quesada said. "The ball's heavier, the ball (has) a lot more movement, just everything's down, everything's where he wants to put it." Lefty Mason Melotakis relieved Pelfrey and gave up one run over the final three innings for his first save. Max Kepler drove in two runs with an RBI triple and a solo home run, his third in 11 games. Cedar Rapids begins a two-game series at Beloit today. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

By dismissing standard visual cues & focusing on functionality I was able to establish a new character & a fresh way of perceiving the product.
Ophelia is a look at the bath from a different perspective, an approach free of technical constraints and established frames of reference. The result is a harmonious synthesis of both organic and geometric forms, a feeling frozen in time, a compromise between functionality and form, perception and space.
Ophelia is an attempt to capture fleeting experiences such as our dreams or the feeling of weightlessness. The goal of the project is to create new feelings and experiences, both physical and visual.

OK, I was wrong about the Supreme Court's vote on health care. For months, I've been confidently predicting a 6-3 vote upholding the law.
But I was right on about Chief Justice John Roberts, who I insisted would do the right thing — constitutionally speaking — and vote to uphold the power of a democratically elected Congress to enact national health-care legislation.
So pardon me while I bask in the unaccustomed light of being right about something for a change. A lawyer friend has even taken to calling me the Great Prognosticator in light of my seeming clairvoyance regarding the chief justice.
Actually, like the famous fortune tellers of old, from Sybil to Miss Cleo, I figured you have to go on the record with a guess now and again. If you're right, you can tout your success, as I'm doing here. And if you're wrong, who's to remember? Not that long ago, I confidently predicted Martina Navratilova would win the Mirror Ball on "Dancing with the Stars." (I thought she was Russian.) So of course I stopped blogging about the show when she was the first contestant voted off.
For good or ill, though, we're stuck with Roberts, since we can't vote people off the Supreme Court, despite the fulminations of some conservative commentators outraged by the chief justice's vote. The conventional wisdom is that the court's decision is a legal victory for Obama and a political win for Romney, since it gives the Republican something else to run against. But I think the decision is a victory for the court itself, or at least for Roberts, who proved himself to be the thoughtful, intellectually honest jurist I hoped he was.
When Roberts was nominated to the court in 2005, I remember Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe being interviewed on television. Tribe is considered one of the most liberal legal thinkers around, far too liberal to ever be nominated to the Supreme Court himself. So the interviewer was clearly expecting fireworks.
But Tribe wouldn't bite. He insisted Roberts was a first-rate scholar and an honest arbiter of the Constitution, even if they didn't always see eye to eye on that document's meaning. He flattered himself to consider Roberts his friend, he said, and predicted he would make a first-rate justice. I figured if a lefty like Larry Tribe liked the guy despite his conservative views, he had to be first-rate.
Roberts' first term, though, gave a lot a people pause, and in his otherwise fair and highly-readable book, "The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court," Jeffrey Toobin depicts Roberts as a conservative ideologue determined to undo decades of good law since the New Deal.
Since that first term, though, Roberts has seemed increasingly centrist, to me, if not to Toobin, who penned his own I-got-it-wrong in light of Roberts' vote. Certainly, the court can have that effect on people: Given the awesome responsibility of being the final arbiter of American law tends to make the justices more careful and conservative, in the real meaning of that word, and less likely to be swayed by ideological predilections. That's why it is so famously hard to predict how justices will vote once they get a seat on the Supreme Court.
And Roberts' vote the other day on immigration, upholding the notion that federal action trumped state law, marked him in my book as a real jurist rather than a political hack. That federalism question, after all, was supposed to have been settled by the Civil War.
And in the health care case, Roberts' opinion for the narrow 5-4 majority assumes what I think is a similarly settled question — that Congress' power to tax allows for what's called the health-care mandate. The politicians who passed the law didn't want to call it a tax, but that's exactly what it is.
"Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness," Roberts wrote.
So Roberts' opinion doesn't mean the government can make you eat broccoli or create death panels or anything else. It just means the government can tax you if you don't have health insurance, and that's hardly a novel notion in the law, whatever the far right wants to pretend.
And whatever else gets said about him this week, the chief justice took the truly conservative position that to have overturned the law would be to legislate from bench, no matter whose ox is being gored. If people don't like the health care law, let them elect people who will repeal it. That's not the job of unelected judges, conservatives are quick to remind us when it is laws they like that are at stake.
I know that ugly politics play a role on the bench, but I like to think that sometimes, at least, the law stands for more than the political preferences of the party with the most judicial appointees. That's the kind of courts they have in other countries less free than ours — the kind that rubber stamp whatever the ruling party wants.
Real democracies might be a bit more messy. But they trust the people, not the judges to clean things up. Personally, I'm not enamoured of the new health care law. It's too early to tell, I'm told, but in the short run at least, my health care insurance has only gone up.
But Roberts' principled opinion makes me want to dance, and makes him, in my book, a real star.

I guess it's safe to say this book has set the bar for every book I pick up from here on out." ~Lynn's Reads Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...That's what Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried. Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content, harsh language and heavy subject matter involving abuse and other mature issues.

The problem? My ...
For once an easy flight...
For once, leaving Lexington actually occurred reasonably on time. We only had a couple minutes of a delay before easily flying off to Detroit then onto Hartford, CT to wait for the rest of the group. Sadly, our flight out of Detroit was delayed, which put us into Hartford about an hour late and just enough time to meet everyone, even though we were supposed to arrive an hour before them!

President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the White House Friday to discuss African-Americans' reaction to last weekend's verdict in the George Zimmerman case, saying that "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."
"You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. And when you think about why, in the African- American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it's important to recognize that the African- American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that — that doesn't go away," he said.
Obama addressed the issue personally as well, saying, "There are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they are shopping at a department store. And that includes me."
He recalled his own experiences before becoming a nationally-recognized politician, noting, "There are very few African- American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me, at least before I was a senator. There are very few African-Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off."
And he contended that these attitudes often shape perceptions in the United States.
"I don't want to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the African-American community interprets what happened one night in Florida and it's inescapable for people to bring those experiences to bear," he said.
Asked if the president had thoroughly contemplated his remarks, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "I don't think there's any question, and you can judge by what he just said and how he said it, he knows what he thinks and he knows what he feels, and he had not just in the past week but for a good portion of his life given a lot of thought to these issues."
Obama also suggested that the outcome of the case could have been different if Martin were white. "If a white male teen would have been involved in this scenario," he said, "both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different."
The president also nodded to the Justice Department investigation which is probing whether or not to bring federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman. But Obama also urged state and local officials to review their own procedures to see how to improve their law enforcement practices.
He also called for a review of so-called "Stand Your Ground" laws, a central issue in the case.
"If Trayvon Martin was of age and was armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk?" Obama asked. "If the answer to that question is at least ambiguous, then it seems to me that we should examine those laws."
Obama said he wanted to "reiterate what I said on Sunday, which is there are going to be a lot of arguments about the legal issues in the case. I'll let all the legal analysts and talking heads address those issues."
The president added, "The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner. The prosecution and the defense made their arguments. The jurors were properly instructed that in a case such as this, reasonable doubt was relevant and they rendered a verdict. And once the jury's spoken, that's how our system works."

And though Obama sidestepped the idea of demanding a new, national conversation on race — and while he said that racism was far from eliminated — the president ended on an upbeat moment, expressing his view that race relations are "getting better."
"I don't want us to lose sight that things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race. I doesn't mean that we're in a post racial society. It doesn't mean that racism is eliminated," he said. "But you know, when I talk to Malia and Sasha and I listen to their friends and I see them interact, they're better than we are."
Obama added: "We have to be vigilant and we have to work on these issues, and those of us in authority should be doing everything we can to encourage the better angels of our nature as opposed to using these episodes to heighten divisions. But we should also have confidence that kids these days I think have more sense than we did back then, and certainly more than our parents did or our grandparents did, and that along this long, difficult journey, we're becoming a more perfect union — not a perfect union, but a more perfect union."
At first glance it seems nice that Obama has opened up about his past experiences and spoken out against racism. But is he also insinuating that those African-Americans that are protesting against the Zimmerman verdict are only doing so because they feel victimised in society? And that African-Americans cannot detach themselves from negative past experiences and that they are all looking at the Zimmerman verdict through those tinted spectacles? And thereby discrediting any valid concerns about the verdict and legal process by claiming: 'you're not seeing the case clearly because you are emotional and because you may have been the victim of racism.'

Suggestions for purchasing a Portable DVD Player
The hunt for that pretty best portable DVD player is way from an easy make any difference. It is mainly because there are a lot of competing designs about the sector, which suggests individuals have their work lower out earning that all-important selection.
Some ages in the past now, the mini portable DVD manufactured its debut about the marketplace. At that time, these diminutive devices have been somewhat highly-priced to mention the the very least, and as a result were really a lot the plaything of individuals with deep pockets. These days, the scene has changed quite a bit and portable DVD players have dropped in cost. The buyer for a portable DVD at the moment is more than likely to become a hard-pressed mom or dad seeking to placate junior in the back seat with the household vehicle. But, whilst these mini people are quite numerous rather than in the least high-priced to buy, the actual fact that there are so many equivalent products about the industry makes it tough for prospective buyers.

Monday, July 10, 2005
Good Monday morning! Well, it was over 90 degrees most of the weekend, including at night. Made sleeping rather difficult, but oh well. Anyway, it was a good weekend. Sure the Twins split with the Royals, but some good things happened. Anyway, today, we've just got some thoughts on the Twins and Royals' series. Plenty of minor league thoughts including how Francisco Liriano and Travis Bowyer did in the Futures Game, how the affiliates did this weekend, and our friend "Roger" wrote up a great Twins Minor League Week in Review" that you'll enjoy. So, let's just get right to it!
The Twins split their four game series against the Royals, which is not very good at all. They were helped out by the Oakland A's though. The A's swept a three game series with the Chicago White Sox so the teams head into the All-Star break just nine games behind the Sox. Not that that isn't a huge undertaking to try to get caught up, but it looks a lot better than a double-digit deficit.
Anyway, here are a few thoughts on the series:
This may have nothing to do with the Twins/Royals series, but TC Bear won the Mascot Home Run Derby at the All-Star festivities on Saturday afternoon. Those of you who have been to a Twins game early enough on Saturday nights probably would not be surprised by that at all!
I love the baseball, and specifically the Kansas City Royals, do so much to celebrate the Negro Leagues. The Negro League Museum is in Kansas City. Anyway, on Sunday, the Royals wore the uniforms of the Kansas City Monarchs. The Twins wore the uniforms of the St. Paul Colored Gophers. Not exactly a politically correct term at this point in history, but that is the way it was at that time. Those uniforms were sweet! However, I understand the season's big picture and wanting to get players some time off, but did anyone else find it unfortunate that on a day that celebrates the history of the Negro Leagues, the Twins outfield consisted of just one member of The Soul Patrol. Jacque Jones was in right field, but Lew Ford patrolled center while Michael Ryan was in left field.
Of course, Lew Ford had the day's #1 Web Gem on Baseball Tonight! His catch against the centerfield wall in the 12th innings saved the day for the Twins. I don't think it would have been a homer, likely a double, but to get an out in that situation is great. Also, Michael Ryan had a nice play in left field. Mike Sweeney ripped a shot off the left field wall. Ryan played it perfectly and made a strong throw to his cutoff man, Nick Punto, who turned and fired to Luis Rivas at 2B who tagged Sweeney sliding into the base.
The Twins catcher platoon is working well right now. Both Joe Mauer and Mike Redmond are crushing the ball and played well behind the dish. That is very important, and after a tougher June, Mauer has been the Twins best hitter again in July.
I was listening to most of the Twins radio pregame show. At the beginning of it, John Gordon was talking to Terry Ryan, as he does every Sunday. Someone called in and asked how frustrating it is to see Justin Morneau looking like he is trying to pull everything. His average was down and he has just struggled for two months. Well, maybe Morneau listened because in his first at bat, he hit a line drive to left field for a single. In his second at bat, he almost decapitated pitcher DJ Carrasco for another single. In his third at bat, he lined a single to right. He may have hit the ball most solidly in his fourth at bat, but it was right at 1B Matt Stairs who caught it and stepped on the bag for a double play. It was good to see Morneau have a strong final game before the break. Hopefully he comes back with some confidence and leads the offense in the second half.
Speaking of the portion of the pre-game show, some people just don't get it, I think. Someone called in and asked Mr. Ryan to discuss the positions he was most looking at AND for a list of the Top 6 or so names that he will be trying to acquire. Ryan did a good job of answering that question by simply saying that he is looking to make the team better and to name names of players he wants to acquire is just wrong.
OH, and I think that it is fair to say that Mike Sweeney did his best in this series to make the Twins brass wonder if he should be their every day DH!! Not sure how I feel about trading within the division, however, Sweeney can hit. Of course, that has never been the question with Sweeney, he has always hit. His problem is that he has missed a lot of time in the past two or three seasons because of injury. One of those injuries is a bad back, which is never easy to come back from fully. So injuries are an issues along with his big contract! He was 11 for his last 15 with three doubles, two homers and seven RBI. Yesterday, he hit two solo home runs including one on the 10th pitch from Joe Nathan in the bottom of the ninth.
Nick Punto started one game at 2B, one at 3B and one a SS. That was what his role was to be at the beginning of the season, however, he played himself into every day playing. He has deserved all of the playing time he has received. No, he's not great and his numbers will never impress many. But he usually puts together quality at bats.
Luis Rivas in a Royals killer. A friend of mine and I were joking on Friday about how Rivas would hit a home run over the weekend. We both laughed .But he commented that he did feel that Rivas would get his first extra-base hit of the season, and I said, "Only because they're playing the Royals." Well, Rivas hit a double down the right field line for his first double of the year in his first at bat on Saturday. He had another double as well as a triple in the game. Such play earned him another start on Sunday. Hopefully his play in these two games doesn't make Gardy forget that we're still talking about Luis Rivas.
My, how things can change from day to day for a relief pitcher. Jesse Crain had the worst outing of his major league career on Saturday night when he came in and walked one guy before giving up three straight hits. None of them were hit hard, but were hits nonetheless. It resulted in the first loss of his career, and his record fell to 11-1 overall (8-1 this season). It also jumped his season ERA from 1.02 to 2.50. Sunday, he came in for the 12th inning and the 1-2-3 inning gave him his first career Save. It was impressive to watch because he was hitting 95 and 96 mph and hitting corners!
Carlos Silva did his job on Sunday, pitching seven solid innings. Of course, the thought there would be that it would be a day off for the bullpen after many were used on Saturday. Good in theory. In reality, the game went 12 innings and more relievers needed to be used.
And finally, the Dick Bremer call of the weekend: Ruben Gotay hit a liner that "nearly disemboweled Terry Mulholland." As my good friend Van Wilder would say, "Graphic!"
Do you have any thoughts on the Twins, the Royals or anything baseball. Feel free to e-mail me.
Travis Bowyer and Francisco Liriano were both picked to be a part of the Futures Game. It is a game of the top prospects in baseball held in the All-Star city. Not every team needs to be represented, so it is great that the Twins were able to put two in the game. Francisco Liriano started the game for the World Team and had a 1-2-3 first inning. That was his day. Bowyer had to work a little bit harder. He pitched the 7th inning for the USA team. He got the first out, but that was followed by a hit, a walk, and another hit, which loaded the bases. He then got a big strikeout, followed by a fly out, to strand all three runners. It is exciting to see the top prospects get this kind of recognition!
Also, our good friend "Roger" frequently sends me e-mails regarding the Twins and their minor league system. We go back and forth a few times a day on players or the teams and more. Over the weekend, he took the time to write up a very interesting and thorough look at the Twins minor league system this past week. I hope you will enjoy it. I know how much work these minor league updates are, so please check out his thoughts. They are followed by my look at the Twins' affiliate's games from this weekend.
Not sure if it is the same "Roger", but there is a very interesting posting at Twins Territory on the Twins top pitching prospects. Check it out here.
Several games were rained out for both Florida teams due to "Dennis,", but it was an excellent week for the system with an overall record of 21-17. Rochester was 5-2 and is now in second place. New Britain was 3-4, Ft. Myers...2-4, Beloit...2-5, Elizabethton...5-1, and the Gulf Coast Twins were 4-1.
Candidates for player of the week must include several Red Wings. Boof Bonser got two wins as he lowered his era to 3.45. Chris Heintz had a homer and 8 rbi's. Jason Bartlett raised his average to .312 with 10 rbi's and Terry Tiffee got his average up to .270 with 2 homers and 8 rbi's. After well publicized problems with the Twins and slow starts back at Rochester, it looks like Bartlett and Tiffee are both back in the groove.
Errol Simonitsch didn't get any wins, but pitched well in 7 innings lowering his era to 2.65. After a hot start, Denard Span has struggled of late with his average dropping to .250. Danny Matienzo had another homer (17) and 7 rbi's (64). Felix Molina continues to play well as he raised his average to .319 in his first 69 ab's. Although he is playing mostly third base, he seems to be another player in the mold of Rodriguez and Maza who at 22 years old could have a future with the Twins.
Tristan Crawford got a couple starts at Ft. Myers as they look for starters to replace Perkins and Simonitsch. He went 1-1 for the week while keeping his era at a respectable 3.75 with a remarkable K/BB ratio of 7.5/1 (60/8) in 50.1 innings this seson. Expect the Twins are taking notice of this 22 year old Aussie. Jay Sawatski had another tough week as his era rose to 4.10 in three innings including one terrible outing. Matt Moses continues his limited play (19 ab's this week) as he struggles with his injury. Although hitting only .237, catcher Kyle Geiger had two homers. Seth's favorite, Aussie Trent Oeltjen raised his average .021 to .262 with 10 stolen bases this season. Madison Area Tech's Scott Whitrock has a system leading 16 steals to go with his 10 homers but is hitting only .229. For a power hitter, Matt Moses has a surprising 13 steals.
Beloit's David Winfree has 9 homers and a system leading 66 rbi's (5 this week). Unfortunately, his 25 errors are more than double any other Twin minor leaguer except his teammate, Trevor Plouffe who has 21. Deacon Burns raised his average to .297 with 6 rbi's. The Twins have always been high on Aussie second baseman Luke Hughes. The 20 year old is hitting a respectable .256 with 6 homers and 32 rbi's. After an excellent first few games, Jose Mijares struggled this week with 2 losses as his era rose to 4.38 from 3.14. Closer JP Martinez continues to pitch very well as he lowered his era to 1.80 with 9 saves.
Elizabethton is again off to an excellent start at 14-4. Alexander Smit pitched 8 innings of relief as he lowered his era to 2.81. He now has 33 K's and 1 BB in 16 innings (33:1 K/BB ratio is obscene)...looks like the demotion should be doing wonders for his confidence and we must continue including him as a future prospect. Ex-Cornhusker, lefty Brian Duensing had an excellent first start going 5 innings giving up 0 runs, 3 hits, 6 K's and 0 BB's. Matt Garza faired better this week however has yet to dominate. Opening day starter Eduardo Morlan did not pitch this week...will have to find out why. Reliever Dan Powers got his first win in last night's comeback extra inning win. Perhaps the most interesting player at Elizabethton is Tim Lahey. The catcher from Princeton taken in the 20th round of the 2004 draft was converted to a closer in extended spring training. In 6 games (5.1 ip), he has 3 hits, 0 runs, 8 K's and 0 BB's. 2004 hitting star at the GCL, Juan Portes raised his average to .323 this week with a homer and 4 rbi's. They are playing him at second most of the time, however, he also saw some time this week in left field. Defense has been a concern, however, I expect the Twins believe he has the potential to be an excellent big league hitter and will find a place for him to play. 2004 4th round pick Mark Robinson did not adjust well last year as he hit only .215 in the GCL. He is off to a great start at Elizabethton, hitting .323 with a homer and 10 rbi's. Recent signee Steven Tolleson continues to be reported as Stephen Colleson on the minor league website.
Two Gulf Coast League Twins must be under consideration for player of the week. In a shortened week (5 games, 13 games this season), Danny Santiesteban continues his torrid hitting with 2 homers (6) and 7 rbi's (18). First baseman Josh Dean was even hotter, raising his average to .407 with a homer and 5 rbi's this week. Richard Sojo is also hitting .378 and sixth round pick JW Wilson who signed last week is hitting .357 in his first 14 ab's. Rochester's Aaron Craig continues to perform well as their closer with a 1.80 era in 5 innings with 4 saves and 5 K's/0 BB's. Aussie Matt Williams lowered his era to 1.54 in 5 innings this week (he has 12 K's in 11.2 innings). Starter Kyle Edlich pitched very well in his recent start as he lowered his era to 1.29. He has 14 K's in 14 innings this year. Like Tim Lahey, Omar Burgos converted from a third baseman to pitching after hitting .206 in 2004 and .223 in 2003 at the Quad Cities. It had often been said he had the best arm of any infielder in the Twins system. Unlike Lahey however, he has struggled in his first 4 appearances with 6 hits and 2 BB's in 3.2 innings (7.36 era).ROCHESTER REDWINGS
Friday - REDWINGS 6, Buffalo 2 - Boof Bonser is officially having a very strong season. On this night, the righty went 6.1 innings and gave up two runs on eight hits. He did walk five and struck out two. Travis Bowyer came in and gave up just a hit and a walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out two and then left the team to go to Detroit to participate in the Futures Game. Jason Tyner went 2-2 with two walks and two doubles. Terry Tiffee was 2-4 with a walk and a double. Todd Dunwoody was 2-3 with a walk and a double.
Saturday - REDWINGS 9, Buffalo 3 - Ricky Barrett made another start and gave up just one hit over five innings. He allowed two runs, largely due to the five walks.

Luis Maza led the offense by going 3-5 with a double. Brent Abernathy started in CF and moved to LF. He went 2-4 with a double. The team has been playing him around the field in an attempt to make him more valuable to the Twins. I suspect he will be recalled to the Twins shortly after the All-Star break.

Friday - ROCKCATS 0, Bowie 4 - The Rockcats were able to do very little off of big leaguer Eric Dubose. In 8 innings, Dubose gave up no runs on four hits and a walk while striking out ten.

Pretty much everyone hit for the Rockcats in this game, with the exception of (arguably) their best hitter, Doug Deeds. Bryan Kennedy was 3-5 with a double. Denard Span was 2-5 with a walk. Luis Jimenez went 2-5 with two doubles. Alex Romero was 2-2 with his 18th double and a walk. Tommy Watkins went 2-4 with a double. Ben Pattee was 2-5 with a double. Felix Molina (1), Danny Matienzo (18) and James Tomlin (4) each hit a home run.
Friday - MIRACLE 2, St. Lucie 5 - The Miracle managed just six hits in this game. Kyle Geiger hit his fourth home run, but that was about it for the offense. Tristan Crawford started and went five innings. He gave up four runs on eight hits. However, he walked none and struck out nine. Josh Gray gave up a run in his inning, and then Julio DePaula and Jay Sawatski each pitched a scoreless inning.
Saturday and Sunday - Rained out as a result of "Dennis."
Friday - SNAPPERS 1, Burlington 5 - Jose Mijares took the loss but did not pitch poorly. In six innings, he gave up three runs (2 earned) on eight hits. He walked three and struck out seven.

Deacon Burns was 2-4 with his 9th triple. Chris Brown hit his seventh homer.
Sunday - SNAPPERS 0, Burlington - Kyle Waldrop pitched one of his best games of the season, and for it, he takes another loss. the righty went 7.2 innings and gave up just one run on five hits. He gave up an unusual walk and struck out four. Deacon Burns hit his 29th double.
Friday - E-Twins 11, Greeneville 4 - Oswaldo Sosa improves to 3-1 with five innings of work. He gave up three runs (2 earned) on five hits and two walks. Erik Lis led the offense going 2-5 with a grand slam (his second homer) and 5 RBI. Mark Robinson and Juan Portes were both 2-4. Dustin Bensko and Josh Land were both 2-5.
Saturday - E-Twins 9, Greeneville 8 - Juan Portes had a big game. He was 4-6 with his sixth double and third homer. Portes home was followed by the second home run of the year by Edward Ovalle, who was 3-4 on the day. Sean Richardson also hit his second home run. Yohan Pino started and gave up four runs on eight hits in just three innings. The Alexander Smit came in. In his four innings, he gave up a run on two hits. He walked none and struck out another six batters. Danny Powers got the win despite giving up three runs (just 1 earned) over four innings. He too struck out six.
Sunday - E-Twins 9, Greeneville 0 - First-round pick Matt Garza pitched very well for his first professional win. He did not allow a run over six innings. He gave up just two hits and a walk, and he struck out nine. Then Adam Hawes, Brian Duensing and Tim Lahey each threw one scoreless inning. Edward Ovalle led the offense this game. He went 3-5 with his sixth double, third homer and four RBI. Mark Robinson was 2-5 and Yancarlos Ortiz went 2-4.
Friday - GCL Twins 15, GCL Reds 0 - It was a big offensive day for the GCL Twins. Of course, that means it was a big day for Danny Santiesteban. The slugger from junior college went 3-4 with his third double and sixth home run of the short season. Michael Lysaught was 2-5 with his first homer. Marion Knowles was 2-4 with a walk. Drew Thompson hit his first professional homer. Kyle Edlich was the beneficiary of all of the run support. That said, he pitched well. In five innings, he gave up no runs on three hits and three walks. He also struck out eight. Former 3B prospect Omar Burgos pitched one scoreless inning of relief.
As with the Miracle, the GCL Twins games on Friday and Saturday were affected (postponed) by "Dennis."
I didn't spend too much time online this weekend, but found a few articles worth reading and thought I'd share some of them with you:
Ozzie Smith discusses the music career of his son, Nikko. You remember he was in the Final 12 singers on American Idol this spring and is currently on tour with the Idol finalists.
It took Scott Rolen pulling out of the contest, but Morgan Ensberg will be in Detroit, in uniform, as an All-Star! Shouldn't have ever been a question!
Over at John Sickels' Minor League site, he asks the same question I asked here two weeks ago. What do the Twins do? Interesting comments!
The Twins Geek heard Terry Ryan on KFAN and jotted down a number of very interesting notes on what was said.
And finally, in what I think is one of the most disturbing comments made by a baseball player, the Red Sox David Wells (surprise surprise) compared the Kenny Rogers situation to a sexual assault situation. I am sorry, but to even draw any comparison is just messed up, inappropriate, and frankly makes no sense in this context!
On that note, I am going to call it a day! I hope everyone has a great week! As always, please feel free to e-mail me your thoughts on the Twins, the minor leagues, or anything you would like to discuss.

Attachment 12265
Two bathrooms: a hall bath which is 5x8, and a "master" bath which is 5x7.
(they are small but they are ours)
The hall was remodeled several years ago. At the time we moved the toiled flange from it's weird and slopping rough in location to a standar 12--with much breaking of slab. Now that we have discovered "in-wall" tanks, that is probably what will be going in there (along with plugging the 15" closet and connecting directly to the vent/drain in the wall--but that's not the subject of this question.)
In our hall bath we want something smaller and easy to clean (e.g. skirted). The Kohler Saile seams fit the requirement quite well (and yes I know that Kohler is not always favored here). However, we would love to install an in-wall tank, but we don't want to hammer out the slab again. So, is there a toilet model that uses an in-wall tank AND a traditional floor mount drain?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For 10 years, Mike Hackl has been the main man in helping women orchestrate Girls Night Out, attracting hundreds to the annual August fundraiser.
He takes care of the beverages, training the bartenders and finding donors to give legal beverages to the event that helps victims of domestic violence.
This year, he went further. He persuaded his employer, Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, to donate to Girls Night Out.
On Tuesday, the company's vice president traveled from Texas to present a check for $25,000 to Girls Night Out. It's the first of three $25,000 checks that will be given to the nonprofit, volunteer group whose sole purpose is to raise money for the YWCA's Resolve Family Abuse Program.
And that wasn't the only reason the volunteer organizers were flying high on Tuesday.
They announced that this year's Girls Night Out, on Aug. 1, will be held at Yeager Airport's private hangar.
"Come Fly with Me" is the theme of the night, which will emphasize a 1940s atmosphere and dress.
"We have outgrown Sunrise," said GNO Chairwoman Suzette Raines. With 900 women attending -- and 1,200 to 1,500 expected this year -- there wasn't enough interior space or restrooms in the Sunrise mansion, now home to the Farmer Cline & Campbell law firm.
The sheer numbers of people that attend Girls Night Out impressed Miranda Jones, vice president of environmental, safety and regulatory for Crestwood. "I am from Dallas, and that's a big event for us," she said Tuesday.
Crestwood operations include natural gas gathering, processing, treating and compression services in shale basins in West Virginia and five other states. Employees of the young, fast- growing company were told Crestwood believes in giving back to the communities where it has operations, Jones said.
"Mike [Hackl] said "I have the perfect organization," Jones recalled. "He was like a faucet; he was so excited, so passionate about what this organization does for the women of West Virginia."
Hackl is Crestwood's pipeline manager for the Marcellus Shale region.
Jones was given an overview of the Resolve Family Abuse Program on Tuesday and later attended the "reveal" party at Sunrise, where the Crestwood donation and details of the August Girls Night Out were announced.
