Multiple styles, single solution
Run by an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 programmable logic controller from Rockwell Automation (Milwaukee WI) the caser has a touchscreen human-machine interface from CTC Parker Automation (Milford OH). Infeed lane settings error messages I/O monitoring and glue pattern adjustment for all 12 products can be accessed via the touchscreen. It also allows the operator to access an online version of the manual as well as the changeover procedure.
Sequence of operations
The following summarizes the machine's operating sequence:
1. When sensors detect that each lane in the accumulation chamber is full of bottles a product stop blade passes between the bottles on the infeed conveyor and the accumulation chamber. The blade reduces back pressure and prevents product from entering the chamber while the machine is loading.
2. The deadplate on which the bottles rest in the chamber shifts forward ½'' a small shift that yields big benefits: It prevents bottles especially ovals from shingling and also better controls the loading stroke PW is told.
3. The cassette guides retract (See sidebar. p. 40) to allow the pneumatic cross-pusher to side-load the group of bottles from the product accumulation chamber to the case. The bottles are guided to the case through a funnel.
4. The loaded case is indexed forward and the open-end minor flaps are closed using a flap tucker. The case packer indexes again hot melt glue is applied and the flaps are closed and sealed using compression plates.
Before cases had been tape sealed. "We have also had cost savings in using glue instead of tape" says Milan. "The glued side panels offer a sturdier case for stacking."
The machine was modified so that it would handle cases that were wider than long as well as longer than wide and of varying depth. This was accomplished using a combination of controls and an adjustable case conveying chain track.
All in all Custom Building Products found its custom case packer to be the perfect solution.

Pouch-perfecting improvements
Third in line for conversion is Unilever's Lawry brand seasonings which are moving now into the new structure; the conversion is expected to be completed by the end of March 2006.
Punctures prevented customers confident
By changing from foil to metallized BOPP Unilever was able to achieve several performance improvements. "Better puncture resistance was very important to us because many of the Knorr and Lipton products contain freeze-dried noodles which have very sharp edges" says Hughes. The danger of punctures is especially severe when the pouches are compressed as they are packed inside shipping cartons. "The Torayfan film has outstanding puncture resistance so we didn't need to use special metallocene films in the lamination. According to the feedback from retailers that unpack the cartons the problem of punctured pouches has been practically eliminated."
The new packages also offer increased shelf life. "Some of the punctures that used to occur with foil were almost microscopic and thus invisible to the naked eye" Hughes explains. "They were so tiny that even though the fine powders inside the pouch were unable to get out air and moisture were able to get in shortening the shelf life of the product. Testing has shown that this problem does not occur with the new Torayfan film."
Improved graphics and consumer appeal was another benefit. "The problem with foil is that creases or wrinkles that occur during handling are permanent" says Hughes. "The pouches are handled by automated equipment when they are packed into cartons then by stock clerks when they are taken out and put on the shelf. Consumers may also pick them up to examine them and read the ingredients. With all this handling they can quickly appear to look shopworn. With plastic film however creases and wrinkles are temporary and the pouch quickly regains its fresh appearance. So the graphics appear sharper and clearer on the new film structures than they ever were on the PPFP pouches."
Production benefits realized
In addition to improvements that were apparent to the trade and to consumers Unilever was also able to achieve a number of internal production benefits. "One of our biggest concerns was whether the new pouches would be able to run at the same speed as the old ones on our high-speed form-fill-seal filling equipment" Hughes notes. "Some of our machines operate in intermittent rather than smoother continuous motion and the pouches are subjected to quite a bit of stress. We were concerned that the new packages might not be able to withstand this type of handling. To our surprise however we found that with just a few simple modifications we were able to operate all of the machines at their maximum speeds."
Another benefit was improved sealing performance. "Because Torayfan PC1's corona-treated surface accepts sealants so readily we were actually able to reduce the amount of sealant required to achieve the same bond strength" Hughes explains. "With hundreds of millions of pouches being sealed this translates to a significant economic benefit." Unilever reports that packaging materials costs are either reduced or at parity with the previous structures.
One unexpected benefit was the ability to standardize pouch sizes. "Our freeze- dried soups sauces and side dish mixes vary so with foil we had to optimize the size of each pouch to avoid underfilling or overfilling either of which increases the chance of puncture" says Hughes. "Torayfan PC1's outstanding puncture resistance allowed us to standardize using about 50 percent fewer sizes. This reduced the need for frequent changes allowing us to increase production rates even more."
With positive results with all the conversions in North America Unilever is considering standardization on a global basis. "Our affiliates in Europe and Australia have expressed strong interest in the new package" says Hughes. "There is little doubt in my mind that we will soon be using it worldwide. Toray has been a true marketing partner to us in every sense of the word." —Rick Lingle

Monday, June 27, 2005
Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. Today will be fairly short. I was out of town all weekend and got back late. I will later discuss some thoughts on the weekends of the Twins and their affiliates. But this is a Twins related site, so I do have to do this. I have to talk about the poor performance of the Twins of late, really the last two or three weeks. Back then, I had a discussion question asking you to send me your thoughts on what the Twins should do. At that time, my belief was that they were just fine. They had the second best record in the league and should just stand pat. Well, it is now two weeks later and things are definitely different. The Twins just lost another series, their sixth straight, to the Brewers. They are double-digits behind the White Sox and the Indians and Tigers are right on their heels.
So, today, I am going to ask a bunch of questions and ask for your thoughts on them. It will be a discussion question with the answers posted on Friday. Sure, it is possible that the Twins could win their next four games before this, but they are against the Royals and the Devil Rays, so those wins won't necessarily tell us where the Twins are. However, it is also possible that they lose a few of those games, and maybe that tells us exactly what we need to know. So, here are a number of questions on the Twins for you to think about:
Right now, the Twins are 40-33, 9.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central. They have basically the same record as they did last year, however, the White Sox are playing incredible baseball.
1.) The Twins have problems everywhere right now.a.) Pitching
Brad Radke is giving up a lot of homers and has returned to a big league average pitcher. He has not been as good this year as last, not that any of us would have expected that. What is the difference?
Let's be honest, Johan Santana has not been pitching like Johan Santana is capable of yet this year. Sure, we have seen a few glimpses of greatness and plenty of strikeouts, but the consistency has not been there as much as the long-ball. What is wrong?
Joe Mays is in the final year of his Twins contracts. Mays will become a free agent at the end of the season, for no compensation. The Twins couldn't possibly be interested in bringing him back next year, could they? If not, can they trade him for anything? Maybe a minor league bat?
I just can't imagine the Twins offering Kyle Lohse arbitration. Scott Boras is his agent and you would have to assume that he would accept it and the Twins would have to pay him about $4 million to be poor next year again. So, instead of losing him for nothing, can he be traded? I envision him going to the Braves and working with Leo Mazzone and becoming the star pitcher that we all think he is capable of becoming. I hope for him that that can happen, however, it will never happen with the Twins
Joe Nathan is off, and he has been for the last four to six weeks. Is it just inconsistent save chances or is something different with what he is doing?If the Twins fall out of contention, is he worth trading now before he starts getting expensive? The team could give the closer's job to Jesse Crain, or even call up Travis Bowyer to replace him for the league minimum.
Juan Rincon has been better of late, which is good to see again. He joins Jesse Crain and Matt Guerrier as the consistent bullpen options right now. Do you think that his suspension affected his pitching? Physically, or mentally?
JC Romero continues to be awful. Pennant contending teams usually like having another lefty out of the bullpen. Maybe the Twins can get something, anything for him!?
Same thing with Terry Mulholland. He has not been bad and has really done a lot in his roles for the Twins, but he can't be in the Twins plans and trading him would allow someone new to get some pitching time with the Twins.
b.) Hitting
Right now, it is impossible to say much bad about the offensive performances of a few Twins (Hunter, Stewart, you guys), but others are really struggling.
Which of the Twins outfielders is most expendable and should be traded now? The easy answer is Jacque Jones because 1.) he's struggling and 2.)the Twins will get nothing in return for him this offseason. However, Torii Hunter is going to get expensive starting next year, so should the team look to trade their clear leader? Maybe his value is as high as it'll get right now?
Here is an interesting thought. The Twins have done well the last couple of seasons bringing up players from their minor league system who have found a way to contribute right away. Michael Ryan two years ago. Justin Morneau, Terry Tiffee last year. This year, it has been the likes of Luis Rodriguez and Glenn Williams. However, it seems that eventually the league catches up to them and finds ways to get them out. So, who is to blame for that? Is it the player for not making adjustments? Is it the hitting coach for not finding the means to help the player know what the pitchers are trying to do to each hitter so that they can work on those weaknesses? I don't know what the answer is to that question. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Michael Cuddyer is a big question mark to me. I personally still think that he will hit, and I also think that he will hit for power. However, he has not found a consistency this year, even with consistent playing time. He will show some power at least for doubles, but then he'll go in prolonged slumps. He takes a lot of pitches and some walks, but seems to find himself in 0-2 and 1-2 counts frequently. Do you still see a future for him with the Twins? Also, is it just me, or is Michael Cuddyer far better defensively at 2B? Suddenly his offensive output doesn't look quite as bad if he plays that position.
Juan Castro or Jason Bartlett?
What can they do with Luis Rivas? Keep marketing him as a utility infielder and try to get a low Class A outfielder for him? Release him?
With Glenn Williams and Luis Rodriguez playing well, what are their roles, particularly when Nick Punto comes back? Let's not forget that the Twins slump very directly corresponded with the Punto injury.
What should be done with Matthew LeCroy?
Will Justin Morneau make the necessary adjustments. I think he'll stay in that .280 range, but when will his power stroke come back?
There are probably more thoughts or questions that you ahve about the Twins right now. I guess the overall summary Discussion Question is:
What is the state of the Twins now and what should be done about it?
PROCESS - OK, the process remains the same for the Discussion Questions. This question is posted today and will be kept up all weekend. I will also post it on Monday. I will then take all of the responses to these questions that I receive and post them on this website on Thursday night at 11:30 p.m. So, read and re-read the questions, consider your response, and then be sure to e-mail me before Thursday night.
That's right, another series loss, this time to the Brewers. Kyle Lohse and Matt Guerrier combined for eight shutout innings to help the Twins to a 5-2 win on Sunday. Luis Rodriguez was 3-5, which included his first big league home run in the first inning to give the team a lead that they never lost, as much as Joe Nathan tried to give it away. Shannon Stewart went 3-5 with a double Friday night, the team lost 3-1. Brad Radke gave up another homer (he waited until the second inning this time!), but pitched well for his five innings. Jesse Crain, Juan Rincon and Matt Guerrier all pitched well out of the 'pen. Michael Cuddyer went 1-2 with two walks, and Torii Hunter hit his 12th homer. On Saturday, Hunter hit his 13th and 14th homers to give the Twins an early 4-1 lead. One would have thought that would have been enough with Johan Santana on the mound, but he gave up six runs over his five innings. He also walks four batters. Glenn Williams played each game of the series and had at least one hit in each to extend his hitting streak to 11 games to start his career. Shannon Stewart went 3-5 including his 10th homer of the year.
I hate to admit it, but the Brewers are fast approaching becoming my second favorite team to follow. I love how they made the decision to really be bad for a couple of years while developing an incredible minor league system that should soon really begin to show itself. Rickie Weeks was called up a few weeks ago. He is hitting about .300 and hit his first big league home and triple on Saturday night. That same night, Prince Fielder drilled his first big league homer off of Jesse Crain. Prince is a big 20 year old who many fear will become his father and become one-dimensional. But at every level, he has not only hit for power but also for average. I think he could be very good. It will be interesting to see what happens at 1B with the Brewers since Lyle Overbay has been playing so well. Will Overbay be traded, or will he move to the OF? David Krynzel is close, but Brady Clark has been great in CF. Carlos Lee is a great hitter. Geoff Jenkins has been really good at times. But Anthony Gwynn is also hitting well at AA and could be a year away from being ready. I'm not a JJ Hardy fan, but he could become a solid big league SS. Ben Hendrickson and Jose Capellan are a couple of pitchers worth watching. And, they've got some guys including Mark Rodgers and the recently drafted Ryan Braun from the University of Miami to make the system even stronger.
Do you have any thoughts on the Twins (or I guess the Brewers today) or anything baseball. Feel free to e-mail me.
The Redwings lost two of three to Louisville, but you know what I think of that... who cares?! The starting pitchers were the stories. Friday night, JD Durbin's rollercoaster season hit another valley. He gave up five runs on four hits and four walks over three innings. Saturday, Francisco Liriano gave up four runs on four hits and three walks in six innings. On Sunday, Scott Baker gave up three unearned runs and struck out eight in eight innings and got a no decision. Also worth noting is that Travis Bowyer pitched twice and didn't give up a run in two innings. At the bat, Kevin West hit his 8th homer. Garrett Jones hit his 14th of the year, a mammoth three run shot on Saturday. It may not be a real important stat but one I thought was interesting. Sunday, the Redwings had nine hits with each of the starters having one single.
There were plenty of storylines in New Britain over the weekend. They won two out of three against Altoona. To me, Glen Perkins was the main story though. On Friday night, he made his AA debut. In six innings, he gave up two runs on six hits and three walks. He struck out six. In the game, Pat Neshek got the win by throwing two scoreless innings and striking out three. Saturday night, the team was led by Levele Speigner and Doug Deeds. Speigner won his second game by throwing eight shutout innings. Deeds went 3-4 with his 22nd and 23rd doubles and his eight homer. Luis Jimenez was also 3-4 and Danny Matienzo hit his 16th homer. Sunday, Errol Simonitsch made his first AA start. He gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. Not a good start, but certainly something to build on! The other story worth following was the performance of Denard Span. In each game, he led off and started in centerfield. He had one hit in each game.
With Perkins and Simonitsch off to AA, the Miracle needed some pitchers to step up! Well, on Friday night, their All-Star Nick Blackburn pitched a complete game. He gave up just a run on six hits. Saturday night, Scott Tyler pitched six shutout innings. He gave up just three hits and struck out nine! Chris Schutt got the win by pitching three relief innings, giving up just an unearned run. One of the team's replacements in the pitching staff was Justin Jones. The lefty acquired from the Cubs for Doug Mientkiewicz made his first start of the season Sunday. He gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. We can't make too much of that though because he was coming off an injury too. As for offense, it was good to see that Matt Moses played in all three games after missing a few games because of a pulled hamstring. On Saturday, he was 2-4 with a walk and he stole his 13th base. On Sunday, Scott Whitrock hit is 10th homer. OH, the team won two out of three over the weekend.
The Snappers won two out of three over the weekend. The only game they lost, surprisingly, came when Anthony Swarzak was pitching. Sunday, Swarzak gave up eight runs on eight hits and a walk in just 3 2/3 innings. In that game, Tarrence Patterson went 2-4 and stole his 12th base. Trevor Plouffe had a double. On Friday night, the team won 8-3 and were led by David Winfree who went 3-5 with his 17th double and 8th homer. Four other players (Deacon Burns - 22nd double, Dwayne White and Paul Rutgers) had two hits. The other with two hits was Landon Burt who was playing his first games in a couple of months. Trevor Plouffe also hit his 5th homer. On Sautrday, Kyle Waldrop got the start and gave up just a run on seven hits over seven innings. Of course, he walked none and struck out four. Chris Brown went 3-4. Luike Hughes was 2-5. Mark Zamojc hit his fifth homer of the year, a grand slam in the first inning. Tarrence Patterson hit his fourth.
On Friday night, Twins 1st-round pick Matt Garza made his professional debut. In four innings, he gave up two unearned runs on a hit and two walks. 2nd Round pick, Kevin Slowey got the save by pitching the final 2.2 innings. Of the eight outs he recorded (and batters he faced), seven of them came via the strikeout. 3B Travis Kalin led the offense going 2-4 with his first homer. The E-Twins got a 6-3 win on Saturday night. On this night, Matt Betsill was playing 3B and he hit his first homer. Juan Portes hit his first homer. Catcher Eli Tintor went 2-4. Ryan Mullins was on the hill to start this game. He went four innings and gave up three runs (2 earned) on three hits and two walks. He did strikeout seven. Armando Gabino pitched two shutout innings for the win. Daniel Powers threw three shutout innings (and struck out five) to pick up the save. Finally the E-Twins picked up another win on Sunday afternoon. Eduardo Morlan is another pitcher that the Twins drafted in 2004. He started and went six one-hit innings striking out eight for the win. Alexander Smit pitched the next two innings and gave up a run on two hits. But he walked none and struck out six. In 6.2 innings since his demotion to E-Town, Smit has 15 strikeouts. Juan Portes went 3-4 with a double. Yancarlos Ortiz, Mark Robinson and Erik Lis each had two hits. Lis hit his first homer.
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.

NASA Tells Us Why The World Won't End With The Mayan Calendar Next Week
Before you do anything too rash, like go on a "there is no tomorrow" shopping spree or give away all of your worldly possessions, you may want to have a look at this video. It comes our way courtesy of NASA and explains in four short minutes exactly why the world isn't coming to an end next week. It turns out that much like our own modern calendar, the Mayan version isn't actually ending so much as it's just rolling over to begin again. The rocket scientists (no, really they are!) at the space agency are so confident that we'll all be here the day after the predicted cataclysmic event that they've even post-dated the video for December 22.
This is good news for anyone who has been reluctant to make any long-term plans for post 12/21/2012. If you've been holding off on booking that trip for next year or even buying gifts for the holidays, I think it's safe to say you can feel free to go out on a limb. NASA has you covered.

Why do they keep calling it a Mayan calendar prediction? It predicted nothing, it simply ended there. It did not have a little note written at the end saying "world ends this day." People maybe expected them to keep producing calendars ad infinitum? They had to stop sometime.
George Dec 17th 2012 11:28AM
Not quite correct. It predicted the end of a long cycle. I think the better question is why pay attention to what the Mayans had to say on the nature of the universe? They also believed human sacrifice was required to appease angry gods and weren't able to develop soil preservation and other agricultural management systems that would have kept their society from total collapse.
exoticdoc2 Dec 17th 2012 3:32PM
Fine, it predicted nothing about the end of the world, which is what this whole thing is all about. A "cycle" of what? Certainly not the apocalypse. The Mayan civilization was depraved and failed in a number of ways, hardly the kind of group I would lend much credence to.
wifibandit 76 Dec 16th 2012 10:57PM
thank you! I've been saying the same thing for the better part of the year
Al Dec 22nd 2012 3:48PM
isn't it possible that we could get swallowed up by a black hole and you guys just never see it coming? You always say that they are extremely hard to see or find.What if theres one out there right now..... or maybe we will have thousands of earthquakes on that day to destroy us....just saying....hope not that by the way is my 64th birthday ,how bout that born and die on the same date dec 21st ................

Take it easy Al. Not as uncommon as you think, to die on ones birthday. My grandmother pssed away on her 76th birthday. No doomsday conspiracy there.
Dick Frizzell Dec 16th 2012 6:40PM
This prediction is about as stupid as the one that all the computers and electronics would go nuts on Jan 1st 2000
jen Dec 16th 2012 10:25PM
This prediction makes a great deal less sense than the 2000 computer prediction. The reason the electronic world did not end 1/1/2000 is because engineers and programers worked very hard to correct the problem. If the problem had not been corrected we would have had chaos for a while. That panic was because of a real correctable problem. Kind of like if we actually had a near earth object headed our way and didn't know how close it would really get, then NASA pushed it away. The Mayan "thing" however is based on a calendar ending. Our calendar ends every 12/31 and no one panics. The ancient Mayans obviously didn't know everything because their civilization is gone. Their world ended a long time ago. I myself have plans for 12/21/12. I will be at work.
kevin Dec 17th 2012 6:11PM
I am replying to Jen comment, The Mayans are not gone there are like 20 million Mayans in the world if not more. The Y2K (1/1/2000) Not everyone fixed there computer before that date and there computer still worked after that, VCR's were going to not work either but they did. It was a scam to get people to buy the software to fix the Y2K problem that was nothing at all wrong with anything.
seeyouonthe22nd Dec 16th 2012 9:01PM
The only tragedy will be the sudden panic and fright created by everyone else. That's the ONLY threat on the 21st. I stocked up on a few supplies just in case the stores are sold out by ppl going doomsday crazy. At least I won't have to stand in line for food or water because of a senseless panic.

Dori Dec 16th 2012 9:54PM
With all the hundreds if not thousands of end of the world predications, I keep wondering why this one is getting so much attention. Most of them are largely ignored.
Robin Dec 17th 2012 11:14AM
Because it's the scariest. I fear however, this is the reason why so many people are going nuts. They figure if the world is ending anyway, it might as well be on their terms. It makes me want to hide until the weekend. Actually, I have to work the weekend, so I'll hide until Monday. lol
Mary Dec 16th 2012 11:35PM
Sounds like the Mayan Calendar works similar to the Julian Date Perpetual Calendar that the military sometimes uses for certain types of projects, vs. the Gregorian calendar with which most Americans are familiar on a daily basis.
ANTMAN Dec 17th 2012 5:00AM

The Return TripThe return trip will be made by using a similar Hohmann minimum energy transfer orbit that will boost the spacecraft out of the Martian orbit, letting it fall towards the Earth. Again an initial thrust must be provided, this time in the opposite direction to the Martian orbit so that the spacecraft reduces its orbital speed and thus enters an orbit of lower radius. The transfer orbit will be again a heliocentric orbit with aphelion at the point where the spacecraft leaves Mars and perihelion when it intercepts the Earth's orbit. Determining the parameters for the return trip is essential for it will not only allow us to calculate the total time for the expedition, which is obviously fundamental in terms of overall planning but as the planets have to be again favorably aligned for the return leg this will determine the stay time on the surface of Mars. |

I bought this to spice up the look of my chair at the salon but can't hardly stand to use it. Not only is it heavy but it is very loud and not as powerful as I was expecting. Very disappointing, I will be returning this item.

Short Update
** I wrote the below posting early on Tuesday morning. However, there was a problem with my web host. I called Tuesday morning. I called again at lunch. I sent an e-mail in mid-afternoon. Here is what happened. The host put in a new server. Apparently they were having problems with 'hacking' and this new server and software should correct that. I think a quick e-mail to me might have been good so I knew what was going on, but that is alright. At some point during the night, some work must have been done because my main page was showing the June 23rd Q&A with Pat Neshek. As the morning became afternoon, I noticed that the main page was showing last Friday's Q&A with Kevin Slowey. However, my Archive page still only went back to June. I finally talked to the company and their representative told me that their backup plan was updated and they shouldn't have this problem again. However, they actually had to go into google and find all of my previous updates and repost them. Fortunately, I use Microsoft FrontPage for this page and all of my pages were on my C Drive. When I got home, I was able to copy the original files onto the network. And now... HOPEFULLY... things are fixed!
I apologize for this happening. I guess there was nothing I could do about it, but oh well. I wrote the below this morning and still wanted to get it posted. I will likely continue to show it here tomorrow as well. Thank you!
Good morning all! Very quick update this morning because there is some problem with my web host today. It's not my internet provider. They came out to my house and took care of that problem and that has been working very well since. However, I can't even get my publishing software to connect to the web host. This has only happened one other time recently, so I'm not too worried about it yet, but hopefully they take care of it shortly.
So, I am writing up some Twins Thoughts and the minor league updates now, and hopefully I will be able to post it soon. Of course, if you are reading this introductory paragraph, it means that the problems have been fixed. Last night, I wasn't even able to open SethSpeaks.net on my computer. This morning, I open it and it opens up to my June 23 posting of the Q&A with Pat Neshek. I guess if it is going to go back in time and pick an article to show people, that is a good one. Even the stats on the left of the screen were shown from that time. I explain that primarily because it is just strange.
But again, if you are reading this, it is fixed and there is no need to worry about it any more!
Last night's Twins-Devil Rays game was not on TV. So, what is a baseball fan to do when his hometown team's game is not televised? No, it's a question. I really don't know! I 'watched' part of it on CBS Sportsline, but that just isn't the same. Here are just a few thoughts.
First things first, my "Painful Weekend" article was posted on the Twins Scout.com page last night, so check it out there and be sure to check out the Comments in their Discussion Board.
Thanks to Aaron Gleeman for mentioning a couple of my Q&As on his site. He linked to my Q&As with Pat Neshek and Tommy Watkins.
Nick Punto hurt his knee in last night's game. Is it completely wrong that the first thing I asked was if he slid feet first into first base?
Scott Baker got his third win by going six innings. He gave up three runs but he flirted with trouble, especially early in the game. He gave up eight hits, but he gave up six of those in the first three innings. Of course, he worked out of those innings with the help of five strikeouts. He ended with six. He went down needing to find a way to get his pitches down in the strike zone. Obviously without being able to watch the game on TV, I really don't know if he was able to do that. But, he did provide the Twins with a quality start in his return to the rotation and got a win. It is certainly something to build on.
With Punto's injury, I think it makes it more important to go from 12 pitchers to 11. I think that Willie Eyre needs to go to Rochester and get some work in. He hasn't pitched for the Twins in almost two weeks. It will be interesting to see who comes up. My guess would be Chris Heintz for a couple of reasons. First, he could be the #3 catcher allowing Gardy to let catch Mike Redmond more often and Joe Mauer to DH. If Punto is out for awhile, Heintz has also played quite a bit at 3B the last two seasons at AAA. Shawn Wooten is another option. He has caught and played 1B throughout his career. The veteran is similar size-wise to Kevin Mench. He just isn't hitting well this year. Glenn Williams in another option. His numbers aren't very good either, but he got off to a very slow start so he has been better of late. Gleeman mentioned utility infielder Tommy Watkins as a possible call up despite poor offensive numbers throughout his career. You know how I feel about letting guys who have been in the organization for that long get a chance to play (no matter how briefly) with the Twins.
Pat Neshek impressed this guy with his shutout inning in the game last night.
Justin Morneau had another three hit game last night. He drove in two runs on a bloop single. He has just been unreal of late. Is he a .310 hitter? Probably not. However, if you look at his minor league numbers, he has always been a good 'average' hitter besides being a great power threat.
Joe Mauer went 2-3 with an intentional walk. His average is now at .375. No, I don't expect him to keep his average up that high. I do expect that it will come down some. However, when you have the approach at the plate that Mauer has with that picturesque and fluid swing and it should help keep him from going into prolonged slumps. That is why I do think that he will continue to lead the league in hitter, unless Ichiro just goes crazy!
Have I mentioned that tonight's pitching matchup is amazing! Two of the top three left-handed pitchers in baseball will go head-to-head. Francisco Liriano has been incredible as a starter for the Twins. However, he is coming off a tough start. Scott Kazmir has been with the Devil Rays since 2004, and he is still just 22 years old! He is second in the AL (to Johan Santana) in strikeouts. Should be a fun game to watch. Should be a fun game to scout pitches!! Be sure to check back tomorrow when hopefully I will have an analysis of the two starters.
That's it for today. Pretty brief thoughts, but since I don't even know if I will be able to post them today, it will just have to be enough. Any thoughts on the series, please let me know! Send me an e-mail, or leave Comments below.

Here are the weekend updates. If you have any thoughts on the Twins system, please e-mail me.
Monday - Red Wings 4, Syracuse 5 - The almost completely depleted Red Wings are still being very competitive, but in this game, players were switching positions and it was a very difficult situation, I'm sure. Matt Ford started and in just 3.2 innings, he gave up four runs (3 earned) on six hits and two walks. He struck out three. Henry Bonilla went the next 2.2 innings and gave up a run. Beau Kemp then went the final 2.2 innings without allowing a run. Erubiel Durazo went 2-4 with his fourth double. Tommy Watkins went 2-4 with his second double and three RBI. Kevin West was 2-4.
Monday - Rockcats 8, Reading 7 (10) – Brian Duensing made his first AA start in this game. He went 5.2 innings and gave up four runs (3 earned) on eight hits and two walks. Tristan Crawford went the next three innings and left the game with two on and two out in the bottom of the 9th. Levale Speigner came in and on his first pitch, he gave up a three run homer that tied the game. However, in the Top of the 10th, Alexi Casilla doubled in the winning run and Speigner pitched a scoreless 10th inning. Matt Tolbert went 2-4 with his ninth double, third homer, two walks and two RBI. Scott Whitrock went 2-4 with his eighth double, two stolen bases and his 12th stolen base. Danny Matienzo went 1-3 with two walks and his 12th homer
Monday - Miracle 6, Dunedin 4 – Kyle Waldrop made his first Florida State League start and he got the Win. He gave up four runs (3 earned) on seven hits and two walks. He struck out two. Ryan Callahan gave up a hit and struck out two batters. Chris Schutt came in and got the final four outs for his fourth save. Brian Roberts remains hot as he went 2-4 with a walk and his 33rd stolen base. David Winfree went 2-5 with his fifth double, first triple and two RBI. Brock Peterson went 2-4 with two RBI. Erold Andrus hit his third homer.
Monday - Snappers 10, West Michigan 4 – Edward Ovalle had a big game, leading the Snappers to a big win. He went 3-5 with two doubles, his eighth home run and two RBI.

Eli Tintor hit his fifth home run. Jose Cordero got the start. He gave up two runs (just one earned) on four hits but three walks in four innings. Danny Vais got the win. He gave up a run over three innings on a home run. He walked four. David Shinskie gave up a run in his inning. Yohan Pino pitched a scoreless inning.
Monday - E-Twins 11, Johnson City 3 – Garrett Olson had a great game. he went 4-5 with a double and two RBI. But Danny Berg may have stolen the show. He hit his first two home runs of the year and drove in six runs. Brian Kirwan picked up his second win. In six innings, he gave up two runs on three hits and three walks. he struck out four. Patrick Bryant went a scoreless inning. Brandon McConnell gave up a run in his inning, and then Aaron Craig pitched a scoreless ninth despite two hits and a walk.
Monday - GCL Twins 8, GCL Red Sox 12 – Deibinson Romero went 3-5 with his first triple, second homer and four RBI. Joe Benson and Matt Betsill went 2-4. Juan Delgado hit his first homer and drove in three runs. Curtis Leavitt started and went four innings. He gave up five runs on eight hits and five walks. He struck out three. Loek Van Mil gave up five runs (4 earned) on seven hits and a walk in just two innings. Wright gave up two runs on three hits and two walks in just one inning.

Prabhu Deva is an award-winning Indian dancer, choreographer, actor and film director.

He has won a number of awards for his elaborate dance sequences, including two National Awards for Best Choreography, a Filmfare Best Choreography Award, and a Filmfare Best Choreography Award (Telugu). He has also won a Best Director award for the film Pokkiri. Prabhu Deva was inspired by his father, Mugur Sundar (known as Sundaram Master), who was a dance master for popular South Indian movies. He took dancing as his career and passion, learning Indian dance forms such as Bharatanatyam as well as Western styles. Prabhu Deva's first movie as a dance director was Vetri Vizha.

Style. Speed. Championships.
Oakley's Nine-time (seven in MotoGP) World Champion Team Rider Valentino Rossi burned his place into the sport's history – already sealed thanks to his achievements to date.
The recent change to a third manufacturer in the premier class for Rossi brings with it great expectation. After claiming the 125cc (1997) and 250cc (1999) titles, "The Doctor" then sealed five straight premier class titles from 2001-2005, switching from Honda to Yamaha in 2004 and thus proving his ability to achieve success wherever he went.
Further titles followed in 2008 and 2009, before a broken leg four rounds into the 2010 season ended a record run of 230 consecutive World Championship starts as Rossi missed races for the first time in his career.
There's plenty more where that came from. Next season is set to put the Italian Speed Demon's abilities and intent on full display.

Nord Electro 3 HP 73-Note, Hammer Action PianoThe Electro 3 HP has all the features of the original Electro 3 but sports a new 73-key Hammer Action Portable keybed. Amazingly, the Electro 3 HP only weighs 18lb., making it the most light weight professional Hammer Action keyboard on the market.PianosThe Nord Electro 3 series is compatible with the Nord Piano Library, a continuously expanding sound library filled with amazing grand pianos, uprights, vintage electric pianos, clavinets and harpsichords. Our sounds have been carefully selected for their unique characteristics and deliver stunning realism thanks to state-of-the-art multisampling techniques and string resonance, providing you with unprecedented expressiveness. The sounds are included on the Nord Piano Library DVD and can also be downloaded free.The Electro 3s come preloaded with a selection of these fine sounds, and replacing them couldn't be easier: just connect the Electro 3 to the USB port of your computer, start the Nord Sound Manager and drag and drop the desired sounds to the desired program location.The Electro 3 HP additionally features a Long Release mode that adds a slightly longer release to piano sounds, suitable for playing legato piano parts. The Electro 3 HP also has a dedicated button for temporarily disabling the string resonance feature.Mellotron and ChamberlinWith the Nord Sample Library support Electro 3 owners have access to our exclusively licensed Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds and a wide selection of quality sounds from leading sample producers. The Nord Sample library is updated on a regular basis and new additions can be downloaded for free. The included Nord Sample Editor makes it possible to add any sound you want to the Electro 3. The Sample Editor can use audio files in the WAV format and has great tools to assist you in getting the results you want. Mapping several samples across the keyboard or creating seamless loops has never been easier.The Electro 3 series has 68 MB of dedicated sample memory and its efficient lossless compression algorithm makes it possible to use samples of up to three times the size of a standard linear sample player.B3The growling sound and soul of a B3 is hard to replicate faithfully in a digital instrument. Sampling is definitely not an option if you want to create a living, breathing tonewheel sound. The attention to minute details is stunning; the Electro 3 is even equipped with four selectable tonewheel modes that stretch from a clean sound to very distorted with the most dramatic setting, Vintage 3. This setting even produces a sound in the background of its own, even if you don't touch any keys.Every function in a B3 has been considered and examined in great detail, to make the Electro 3 as true to the original sound as possible. There are key clicks derived from the original busbar behavior and the energy robbing that produces the gentle compression when you do that massive palm smear across the keyboard. To get the response right, the option to trigger the organ sounds at the very top of a key's range is included, making it react just as fast as the original.Vox and FarfisaThe Farfisa* and Vox* models are just as impressive as the B3. The massive savage sound created by their 12-top oscillator frequency-divider designs is of course another nosample zone in the Electro 3; you have the same behavior and unique response from the models as in the original instruments. The Farfisa Compact Deluxe, considered by many to be the mother of transistor organs, involves routing matrixes and complex filter combinations that offer a tailored sound with massive energy and high-end.The Vox* Continental's brute design brings you a more hollow tone, but with a very intense character. Both these transistor organs have their own unique, irreplaceable personalities. Combine them with any of the Electro 3's speaker simulations, add some distortion, adjust the EQ and they will definitely get you through any organ gig.Rotary SpeakerThe rotary speaker simulation originates from the award winning Nord C1 Combo Organ, acclaimed for its sound quality. The rotary speaker incorporates the acoustic variations that occur when a physical speaker spreads the sound in a room, providing the full experience of when air is moved around.The Electro 3's rotary also features a great function in the addition of the Rotary Stop Mode. This allows users to switch between fast and stopped rotation and back again by using either the controls on the panel or with a foot pedal connected to the Rotor Pedal input. This is a crucial functionality that mimics the behavior of early one-speed original rotary speaker units.Those of you who are picky about the rotary behaviors will be pleased to find several user adjustable settings like speed and acceleration times for both treble and bass rotors. These options, as well as all the other System, MIDI and Sound Menu functions are written on the right side of the panel, a great help for all those moments when the manual decided to stay at home.Organ SplitUsing the Organ Split mode, you can play two different organ registrations in a dual manual fashion, one sound on either side of a user definable keyboard split point. Connect a second MIDI keyboard to the Electro 3, to use the organ split functionality, but in a true, dual manual setup.The Nord Electro 3 is equipped with a great selection of high quality effects including a lush sounding reverb with five different reverb types. There is also a selection of tremolo, panning, wah-wah, phaser, flanger, chorus effects, and a ring modulator.For adding a final touch to your sound, there is a selection of amplifier simulations - for anything from warm fuzz to devastating mayhem. A user friendly three-band EQ with a sweepable mid-range and a compressor can be added to the final stage of the audio path.The new Electro 3 HP additionally features a flexible Delay effect with Tap-Tempo, Rate, Amount and a stereo Ping-Pong mode.Changing, editing and storing presets is easy, and there is also a Live mode that automatically saves what you're doing. The Program memory can hold 128 different Programs, and these are organized in 2 Program Banks with 64 Pages each.One of the main focuses is to have dedicated knobs and buttons for all vital functions, and to keep the interface simple and easy to use during a performance. We don't believe in submenus, and the only functions in the Electro 3 that only are available through menus have been printed on the panel.

Heavy, flat bottom heats evenly. Bacon isn't burnt & "wobbly" but is evenly cooked throughout. Truly nonstick, eggs seem to "float" while cooking evenly also. Best pan I've ever used, and I've been cooking (and an avid gourmet) for almost 50 years.
It's great. I haven't had a nonstick pan since the old days of Teflon. I enjoy the way you can brown things and not have them stick. Great purchase!
The pan is awesome, but for some reason a handle was missing a rivet. It was in the box, it just wasn't rivetted on.
We love it, as we do the other Calphalon products we purchased. Calphalon is the best investment we have made in a long time. We look forward to having only Calphalon for our cooking needs.

Rovner Light ligatures incorporate an old idea for creating natural sound... softly holding the reed to the mouthpiece with no pressure points, just as if the reed were tied on with a string. Fits most hard rubber alto and some tenor and bari sax mouthpieces.
Rovner Ligatures also greatly improve reed playability. Reeds that are totally unplayable on other ligatures will often perform well with the Rovner. The ability of the Rovner Ligature to extend reed life is unparalleled. More rigid ligatures actually hammer the cane fibers during vibration, eventually destroying the reed's tonal vibrancy. Not so with Rovner; most players find their reeds will play until the tips finally succumb to fatigue and fall apart!Selecting A Rovner Ligature
Due to the design of the Rovner ligatures, they fit a wide range of mouthpieces.

When the round peg fits in the round hole, you go for it. In that spirit, Frabill, Inc, legendary manufacturer of premium ice fishing products, acquired Snosuit, LLC, the ice fishing industry's foremost designer of performance winterwear.
Jeff Kolodzinski, Marketing VP of the 71-year-old Milwaukee-area employer, said it was an inevitable and natural move. "The ice fishing outerwear category is substantial and growing. Frabill needed to be in that space. But to parallel the level of product quality our customers are accustomed to, we had to enter at the top. Snosuit gave us that opportunity."
Previously headquartered in Cross Lake , Minn. , Snosuit pioneered the high-end of the now well-established ice fishing outerwear category. The gritty northwoods company has never wavered from this pursuit of developing the best of the best, either. Snosuit founder Chris Leonard's mantra to "design and engineer the finest cold weather garments in the ice fishing industry" will survive and flourish under the stewardship of Frabill, too.
"Frabill and Snosuit share an ideology of excellence," Leonard said.
Innovation and an emphasis on research and development are shared traits as well. "Snosuit is built from the ground up," Leonard said. "Every feature is developed organically, from scratch. We design and engineer garments based on direct input from anglers in the field." Leonard will stay on to guide Snosuit's bedrock research and development process.
Sharing such core business philosophies was central to Frabill's decision to grow via acquisition. "Our motto is 'Trusted Gear Since 1938,'" said Frabill CEO Jeff Marble. "Snosuit brings with it that same pride in brand that we believe in at Frabill. "We feel really good about this partnership. It's hand in glove."
The move expands Frabill's already extensive coverage in the larger ice fishing marketplace. "We're a major stakeholder in portable shelters, ice fishing rods and reels, tip-ups, bait management products, and ice fishing accessories," Kolodzinski said. "The addition of Snosuit makes Frabill's ice fishing product offering even more comprehensive. If it's for ice fishing, Frabill makes it."
Available this fall, the Snosuit lineup will include a redesigned release of the signature two-piece bibs and jacket. An extreme weather, gauntlet-style glove and mitt are also being introduced for ice fishing 09-10. Snosuit products are available through major sporting goods chains as well as select independent dealers.

Father's Day is coming and that means feeling a bit of a twinge because I won't be celebrating Father's Day with my dad. He died when I was in high school so the holiday is a little different for me.
It's less about celebrating and more about remembering, but it is a celebration of my dad's life. My dad owned a junkyard when he was alive — a junkyard that his father owned before him.
As we know, scents are intertwined with nostalgia and the junkyard smelled like my father — car oil and grease and gasoline. In January 2007, nearly eight years after my father died, the junkyard caught on fire and half the building burned away, including my father's office. With it went all my father's racing trophies from Danbury Race Arena and the drawing I'd made for him as a child.
I'd already mourned the loss of my father years ago. It is, of course, a continuous process, but the major mourning period is over. Now I was mourning the loss of the physical representation of my father — his stuff. To boot, for a long time after the fire, the scent of my father disappeared from the junkyard.
The physical shrine we had for my dad — his office — was no longer. So when the anniversary of his death came around, the link felt a little severed. Through good fortune, I chanced upon the Golden Age of Trucking Museum in Middlebury one day and when I walked into the showroom, it was all around me — car oil and grease and gasoline and my father.
Every year after that, on my father's birthday, which is also the day he died, I would take a walk through the museum quietly and slowly.
When the Golden Age of Trucking Museum closed, the staff allowed folks to take home their purchased bricks from the memorial fountain outside the museum. My dad's brick read: "Robert Cura, A Simple Junk-Man," something my father had always wanted on his headstone, my mother told me. So even though we lost a good amount of the physical objects tied to my father's memory, there's new memory paths to be made.
Now that the museum is closed, I take the moments when they come. At a car show recently, I was walking through a field taking pictures of the cars and only once did I smell my father so I stopped, closed my eyes and breathed deeply. I stayed in that one spot until I couldn't smell him anymore and then I started walking again.
I stopped by the junkyard the other day and the familiar scent was back again. Time has a way of healing and restoring that which we used to know.
But there's a lot of things I don't know. Sometimes, when something big happens or when I'm going through some struggle, I think to myself: "What would my dad say if he were here? What kind of advice would he give me?"
Gil Scott Heron once said, "I believe that the spirits are your parents and their parents and their parents and their parents and they're in your bloodstream and they run through your body constantly, and they want you to live on because they want to live on, and they are trying all the time to tell you [things] and if you just spend a few minutes with yourself, you will hear them."
Those quiet moments keep us connected to the ones we love when we can't just call them on the phone or stop by to say hi. We all have our ways of staying connected. My friend Ray remembers funny things his father used to say and that's how he holds on. I watch the movie "Big Fish" when I want to reflect on my father.
"Big Fish" is a fantastic and whimsical movie about a grown man coming to terms with who his father is as a person before it's too late. It's about a dad who is larger than life. The son says: "In telling the story of my father's life, it's impossible to separate fact from fiction, the man from the myth. The best I can do is to tell it the way he told me."
And I think that's the way all our memories are of someone who isn't with us anymore — glossed over by nostalgia and romance and it's beautiful.
"Big Fish" reminds me that misconceptions and unspoken words can continue on for a long time. In the movie, a son and his father hadn't spoken for years before the son came back, when his father was dying. Sometimes family members stop speaking to each other and after enough time goes by, maybe the reasons why people stopped speaking to each other become obscured by the sand of forgetfulness.
There were things I could have said to my father. There were things he could have said to me. But there wasn't any time. Instead, we had to make the most of the three weeks we had, from the time he went into the hospital to the time of his death. You make do with the time you have. And in the end, everything that we needed to say was said because we both knew it was all the time we had.
Anything else that wasn't said just didn't matter anymore because we came to understand each other in a way that was organic and beautiful. Because when someone is dying, every stupid thing doesn't matter anymore — every harsh word or dumb fight or misunderstanding ceases to matter. All that is left is a father and a child who love each other.
When you're celebrating Father's Day this year, with or without your dad, remember that it's all about dads who love their children and children who love their dads. We keep their memories alive by telling the stories of our fathers and like the dad in "Big Fish," our fathers become immortal.
Keeping the Memory of My Father Alive
When your father isn't with you, Father's Day is all about holding on to the memories.

Jamie, what you wrote is the best Father's Day present I have ever seen anyone give their Dad. What a beautiful tribute to a great man. I'm sure he enjoyed it.
I think when you smelled your Dad at the museum and junk yard he was standing beside you, and he wanted you to know that. A not too subtile reminder that although you can't see him, he can be at places where you feel the closest to him, and that he will always be with you when you really need him. The smell is just his way of showing how much he loves you.

I can relate to this wonderful column. My own father was an auto mechanic and any time I'm in or near an auto shop bay floor, sometimes even opening up the hood of a car, it can bring me right back to working summers at Dinan Automotive Inc. in Norwalk. I get it more with my mom now, who has retired and moved several times, selling among other homes the one we grew up in and lugging all "her stuff" which has her smell. And so I realize that "home" really is just where my mom is, with all that stuff. You are so right about the smell. I think I will never forget the image of you Jaimie walking around the museum showroom and stopping when you caught the scent of your dad—very powerful. Thank you for sharing this.

I own an iPad2 w/ the current iOS (not JB) - also I have been using the Zinio app from the beginning - my current mags are iPhone, PC Mag, & Macworld - this has been working perfectly for months - several days ago I was notified that a new issue of PC Mag arrived - started the DL, the screen orientation switched from vertical to horizontal, then went blank! I had to enter the taskbar to stop the app - no help; then did a restart & a reset w/o any effect. I deleted the app (along w/ all of my DL mags - YUCK!).
So, DL the app again and first added the 2013 issues of iPhone & Macworld - came in fine, as usual - THEN, tried to DL PC Mag - SAME problem! This seems to be a 'new' and specific issue w/ the Zinio app & PC Mag - I emailed Zinio yesterday but no response as of 8:30PM my time (and I'm not sure if I'll get one?) - SO, I hoping that someone may have an explanation to correct this problem - thanks for suggestions.

There is a good selection and lots of seating. There is something for everyone, even picky eaters like my kids.
I have been quite pleased with the portion sizes as well as selection at the Pop food court. Its a decent value and good food. In my opinion, the theme of the entire resort--good resort at a good value.
I'm fairly certain that given a tiara and a nice cape, I could save the world--one sequin at a time.

I LOVE the food court at Pop. Its so colourful and sparkly . The food is great too, we love getting the flatbreads. The drink stations are located right by the main exit doors, lead right out to the pool, which is great when its hot out.
I vaguely remember the food court at ASMu, and for some reason I thought it was bigger than POP.
I've only been to POP a couple of times and just a couple days at a time, but the food was pretty decent.
I think I liked the Riverside Mill a bit better though...that and Artist's Palette (not bad but can be very crowded) are the only other food courts I've been to.
