Inaugural 2010 liveblog: sweep, please.
Please don't rain.
1-2-3 inning – I like.
BOTTOM OF 1st (0-0):
Span gets a single. Off to a good start!
Hudson is walked … apparently Porcello forgot that he was pitching this afternoon.
Of the effing wall for Morneau – a double – and the Twins are ahead 1-0. My heart is all a-twitter for you, Mr. Canada.
I really want to see Kubel do something amazing right now, or at least in this game. He's been fairly "eh" this season so far. Aaaand … an out. Aw.
Cuddy bats in Hudson, and we're ahead 2-0.
Dear skinny Delmon: nice hit, but try making it a homer next time. Love, Alicia.
TOP OF 2nd (2-0, Twins):
SICK double play, Casilla to Hudson to Morneau. What? The Twins make a double play rather than hit into one? Color me shocked.
Casilla's got some serious beardage. Can't wait to see us play the Brewers and see how he greets his former Dominican man-panion Gomez.
BOTTOM OF 2nd (2-0, Twins):
Robby Inkminasjkdfalkski is such an aggravating little spaz.
Wow, thanks Punto. Worst bunt ever.
TOP OF 3rd (2-0, Twins):
OH SHI- … huge upper-deck single-run homer for Avila. And the fans are booing. Eh, we'll get 'em back.
Ahaha, Bert opens a fortune cookie on-air. "You enjoy using your imagination." WHAT?
Slowey nearly beans Jackson. Chin music, anyone?
BOTTOM OF 3rd (2-1, Twins):
Span walked, Hudson hits one that slips past the infielder; Span is thrown out but Hudson makes it in time to avoid a double play. NICE.
KUBEL!!!! RBI DOUBLE!!! HUDSON SCORES!!! I (sorta) called it!
Twenty bucks Cuddyer can't do anything this at-bat.
… hm, I must be psychic.
TOP OF 4th (3-1, Twins):
I like how Punto's black eye-stuff takes up 90% of his tiny face.
AW, HELL NAW. Homer from Cabrera. Can we hit a couple homers this game, too? THANKS.
Weird thought: Slowey always licks his fingers before he throws; I wonder if he's ever gotten a totally gross mouth full of like dirt or something more atrocious?
Aaaand no more Tiger scoring.
BOTTOM OF 4th (3-2, Twins):
Apparently Ramos isn't perfect – strikes out. Kid's amazing though. Sorta sad that he's younger than me, which makes me realize how little I've accomplished the past 24 years. Aw.
WHAT?? PUNTO TRIPLE?! Casilla scores!
Span follows it up with a single that gets Punto home. I LOVE THIS GAME SO FAR!
Span steals second. THIS IS AWESOME.
Hudson goes to bunt, but is nailed by the pitch. That can't be a fun walk to first.
Those little pine trees in the outfield are adorable.
Um, ball four, and Morneau is walked. Bye bye, Porcello.
TOP OF 5th (5-2, Twins):
Delmon with a beasty catch while wearing nerd-alert sunglasses.
Span with a beasty attempted catch that nails him in the torso and gets a piece of his face. He had a pretty sweet little almost-somersault there, though.
BOTTOM OF 5th (5-2, Twins):
Eh, stuff happened.
TOP OF 6th (5-2, Twins):
WHY DOES CABRERA KEEP HITTING HOME RUNS?! Is it because many of his teammates wear tall-socks? I think so.
Oh God, they're warming up Crainwreck.
Slowey's out, and Jesse's in. Can I just say that I'm terrified?
Um … but he finishes the inning?
BOTTOM OF 6th (5-3, Twins):
NICE hit by Span, a double, and Punto moves the third.
Morneau intentionally walked, and the bases are loaded. Knowing us, this is our biggest weakness, and I'm officially scared. Especially with 2 outs and Kubel up.
And my fears were correct. Sad. I love J-Koob, but he needs to un-slump himself ASAP.
TOP OF 7th (5-3, Twins):
BOTTOM OF 7th (5-3, Twins):
TOP OF 8th (5-3, Twins):
Cuddyer's sunglasses are heinous and awesome at the same time. Good catch, Mikey.
MATTY GUERRIER UP IN THIS! … For like 5 minutes. Duensing replaces Matty G.
Inge out after he pops up on the first pitch.
Two pitches, two outs: I love you, Brian Duensing.
BOTTOM OF 8th (5-3, Twins):
Let's do work, boys.
Casilla with a siiiick bunt! I love that little guy.
Sac hit from Punto, moves Casilla to second.
And apparently Rauch is warming up now. But will Duensing start the next inning? OH THE SUSPENSE!
Span called out, and doesn't agree, but you can bet your life he won't argue it.
Eh, 3 outs.
TOP OF 9th (5-3, Twins):
Everyone, chant after me: LET'S GO, NECK-TAT!
Fail. Homer. Ew.
Dear Jon Rauch: Your tattoos are pretty neat. I hear you're pretty tall. Anyway, please stop not striking guys out. If you can avoid walks and home runs, I'd be much obliged. Your pal, Alicia.
Two have been put away … one more … AAAAGH!
FINAL: Twins, 5-4.
Ummm … not sure how this even happened:
Yes … me. And. Joe. Effing. Nathan.
He told me he's really excited for the new stadium; his arm is coming along well (I called it his "robot arm," and he laughed); and was basically super friendly and nice.
Totally obliged to take a picture and chat with me, even after a couple other people came up to him a few minutes before.
I will treasure this photo and probably never stop talking about the awesomeness of meeting Joe. Because I'm an annoying nerd. Yay!
Eight more years!
I went to Saturday's installment of Twinsfest, hoping to catch a glimpse of a handsome set of sideburns or Redmond after he made a triumphant surprise return to the team. Well, neither of those came true, but I did manage to creepily stalk some other great Twins and creepily paparazzi them until I was escorted out of the building. Just kidding … kinda.
Be Home Blyleven.
Pretty bummed that this classy gentleman …
… didn't make the Hall of Fame for yet ANOTHER year.
Next year, Bert. Next year.
Oh, Boof.
What? WHAT?? Boof Bonser is gone?!
The Twins designated right-hander Boof Bonser for release or assignment on Tuesday to make room for Carl Pavano on the 40-man roster.
Bonser missed the entire 2009 season following right shoulder surgery in Spring Training to repair a torn rotator cuff and a torn labrum. The 28-year-old is eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter.
In 2008, Bonser began the year in the Twins rotation but by the end of May had been demoted to the bullpen due to his ineffectiveness. Bonser went 3-7 with a 5.93 ERA that season and has an overall 18-25 record with a 5.12 ERA in 163 career games with the Twins.
Well, I guess it's good we have Pavano, but … no one can top the name Boof Bonser. EVER*.
* Okay, maybe Chone Figgins, simply by the goofy spelling of "Sean" alone.
Fox Sports North is reporting Joe Mauer has just been awarded the AL MVP!
"Joe Mauer has become only the second catcher in 33 years to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award."
"The Minnesota Twins star was a near-unanimous winner in voting announced Monday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, receiving 27 of 28 first-place votes and 387 points."
"Jeter had 193 points while Detroit's Miguel Cabrera drew the other first-place vote and was fourth."
"After missing April with a back injury, Mauer homered in his first at-bat of the season and went on to lead the AL in batting average (.365), on-base percentage (.444) and slugging percentage (.587), the first AL player to top all three categories in the same season since George Brett in 1980."
"Mauer set a major league record for highest batting average by a catcher and won his third batting title, becoming the first repeat batting champion since Nomar Garciaparra in 1999-00."
"Mauer set career bests with 28 homers and 96 RBIs, had more walks (76) than strikeouts (63) and batted .378 after Morneau's season-ending back injury Sept. 12, helping the Twins overtake Detroit for the AL Central title. He was voted to his third All-Star team and won his second straight AL Gold Glove.
Mauer also won a Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger award this year. "
"He's got the whole package. He's an incredible athlete, with incredible leadership skills," said [former Twins pitcher Frank] Viola. "You don't even have to say anything to be a leader. That's just the way Joe is. You talk about anybody worthy of an MVP — there's nobody more worthy than him."
After the dust has settled.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Over a month since the Twins played their last game of 2009, after winning the AL Central title during the most intense tie-breaker EVER, and then falling to the Yankees – a team that apparently could not be stopped this year.
Some SERIOUS BUSINESS has happened since that last game. Some good, some bad, some that we just don't know until the boys hit the field once more next year.
(By the way, according to my countdown on Dashboard, it's 4 months and 20 days until the boys play their first regular-season game. OHHH SNAP.)
So, here's the short version of what's happened since I took a break from baseball talk after my little heart was broken:
In a move that at once broke my heart and made me thirst for blood, Carlos Gomez, or the only truly insane and consistently entertaining Twin, was traded in exchange for J.J. Hardy, the Brewer shortstop and apparent heartthrob of the team. NO, THANK YOU.
First of all, bye bye Orlando Cabrera; sorry you're being replaced by a dude that was sent down to Triple-A last year for sucking too hard. Second, of all people in the outfield to be traded, why GoGo? I mean, there are other Youthful and Outstanding players left in the oUtfield, but there's oNe that I'm goinG to have to say should've been sent elsewhere instead. So, long story short: I'm bummed, but hopefully the formerly great Hardy will be worth it.
Yes, Lady GoGo is gone, but it looks like the same for Crede and Cabrera, who turned into free agents. Sure, Crede is good when his back isn't falling apart, but I guess I am convinced that he just is too big a risk to keep. Cabrera … man, that one sucks. He helped SO much with our team, on the field and mentally with the other players. Seeing him with Casilla and Gomez was such a great matchup, knowing that his veteran-ness was something the guys could look up to and try to emulate.
Other dudes under the risk of hitting the chopping block included Pavano, Cuddyer becoming a free agent after next year, Redmond, and Mahay. Luckily (and smartly), the Twins picked up Cuddyer for some more time. Meanwhile, Gabino and Huber peaced out, one going to the Orioles and the other to Triple-A. Also, Buscher was optioned to AAA.
Oh, and Glen Perkins thankfully stopped his nonsense. I love you Perk; don't do that again, okay?
The coolest name on the team, Boof Bonser, and fellow pitchers Pat Neshek and my one true love Kevin Slowey, have come off the DL. So excited; we need these guys pretty bad right now, and it's good to see they're all healed up.
Also, we added Juan Morillo to the team. Whatever works!
Obviously. But seriously, Mauer added another Golden Glove and Silver Slugger award to his mantle, which is probably carved out of triceratops horn or something.
Rumor has it, and by rumor I mean my own dysfunctional brain, that JoeyBurns is also very likely to win the AL MVP. Well, I can only hope, since there was a while last summer where he pretty much single-handedly took on every team we played when the rest of the Twins forgot who they were and what they were doing and thought they were hotdog vendors in the middle of games. He's kind of awesome, the kind we need to keep around.
I was supposed to go to the Twins moving sale with one of my friends, but he texted me that morning and was like, "Um, dude, the line is insane." Oh, and I also have no money because I'm graduated, awesome, jobless, and live with my parents. Hey, slow down boys! One at a time!
So those are pretty much the main things I noticed in the past month. Other cool stuff I put off writing about until now:
A nice tribute to a craptacular building: This article thinks the only story you need to know about the dome is when that ball gut stuck in the ceiling in '84 and then Mickey Hatcher, trying to set up a prank where the ball would fall and he'd catch it for an "out," instead got nailed in the junk by it. That's it; see ya, 'Dome! But seriously, it's a good one.
Oh … and more 'Dome love: Well, by "love" I mean calling it an "abomination." So … there's that.
Okay, guys, we get it: No one liked the 'Dome, except when it helped them out. DUH.
Apparently I was the last person to know this: Redmond … nude … hilarious … and yet my skin is crawling?
A.J. and Bob Barker: Okay, this was absolutely the most random thing ever. I look up from whatever was on TV before this came on, and I see Bob Barker. Alright. And then … A.J. PIERZYNSKI
The usual year-end best-of BS: Mentions the awesomeosity of Joe Mauer, and the awesome suckosity of that one game against the A's. Oh, and that terrifying bee-attack on the Padres.
More (interesting) year-end BS: It was kind of a weird year, huh?
Peep these new unis!: Okay, not terribly different, but I like the new gray ones and the Inaugural 2010 patches.
And last, my new favorite Twins commercial (Span and Nathan kill it, especially Span's face and Nathan's "hi!"):
Alright, that's all, folks. As more comes up in this already crazy off-season, I will write about it, promise.
And once again, I'm so proud of our boys this year and happy about their final surge of awesomeness at the end. Next season can't come soon enough!
A rollercoaster – and not the fun kind.
Wow. Rollercoaster, much? I think all Twins fans have been so up and down in the
weeks leading up to Tuesday's tiebreaker that after it was over (HELLO, WIN!),
the game against the Yankees Wednesday was almost unenjoyable.
Reasons I found it to be more annoying than exciting:
Our poor, poor tired players. Michael
Cuddyer wrote in his
blog, 'We didn't get into New York until very early this morning. I think I got
to sleep around 4:30, 4:45 a.m. — somewhere in there. It was a tough
turnaround." Um, gross. No wonder everyone seemed listless and worn
The announcers are truly the WORST. Not
at their jobs, but at slobbering all over the Yankees and knowing nothing legitimate about
the opposing team. I mean, is it normal practice during a Yankees game to zoom in on Derek Jeter just standing there while someone
like Joe Mauer or
Cuddyer take like
four pitches? Literally, it was Jeter motionless with a blank face. HOW
THRILLING! And the constant bragging about the Yankees – duh, they're a great team. But
when all you got on the Twins is "Man, that Metrodome was loud on Tuesday" or "Justin
Morneau is injured,
and the team is covering for that," that just shows favoritism and
disinterest, which is unprofessional.
It doesn't help that we lost. But
hey, we did the best we could do. But it just made all those taunts from Tiger fans, Yankee fans, or whomever, "The Twins can't beat the Yankees! EVERRR!" more
aggravating. Those missed double plays and lack-luster at-bats … aww. I
don't like it when haters feel vindicated.
I hate that we had to start at New
Yankee stadium. HATE.
The magic of the Dome is gone, and there we were, at the most sterile place on Earth.
I'd like to go there and see if I can prove myself wrong, but … not a
fan. I hope the Metrodome on Sunday and it's raucous fans can spook the Yanks a bit.
Can I just refer to the Yankees as the Skankees from here on out? Thanks.
aside, I hope that with rest and, more importantly, mental re-grouping, the
boys can pull out a split series tonight. I want to see these guys fight
like I'm used to – the word "scrappy" comes to mind – and I want to
see fight and heart beat money and more money.
Good luck,
and do work, Twins!

Thanks to social media like Instagram, I'm able to share my art with thousands of people every day – which I love! It is a great venue to share information and of course beautiful pictures. I try to reply to many questions posed on there, but thought I would start sharing some information on here when I get a chance…
Q: I recently started calligraphy – what are your recommendations for beginners and when will my writing look like yours?
A: First of all, welcome! This is a lovely art form to partake in. With that said, it is an art form. Like any other talent it takes lots and lots of practice! I can't stress this enough. I have been doing calligraphy for over 20 years (10 professionally), and if you look at my early writings, believe me, it did not look like how I write now {see below}! Like any other activity, your body learns muscle memory and you will get better over time.
I write nearly every single day, and have been doing so for the last decade. When I travel, I still do work. When I got married in Hawaii, I did calligraphy in Hawaii (granted it was for my own wedding – I likely wouldn't take your order all the way to Hawaii :) ) I'm sure some people think I work too much, but I really do love calligraphy, and when I'm not working, I miss it and feel like I could be getting something done (welcome to the world of self-employment!). It helps that my husband works long hours as well, allowing me to extend my "work hours" each day.
I'm not saying that you need to practice calligraphy every day, but you will definitely improve more quickly if you do it more often. If you practice one night, and don't come back to it for 7 days, then another 5 days, etc, your hand won't remember the technique in the beginning. If I go days without writing I am a little rusty, too.
Now, where to start. There is no single answer to this, but if you have time to do lots of research online you can find a lot of the supplies. Every person is different and will find different items useful. If you would like a one-stop shop to get started with the basics, I offer a starter kit that will get you on your way with instructions, pen, nibs, ink and other fun materials. I also hold calligraphy workshops around the US and you can find more details on those here. Either way, it will be a different journey for each individual and you will learn by trial and error.
I do provide more information on where I get my supplies in the kit and in my workshops, but it wouldn't be fair to those who make the investment to share it with everyone who follows me online, so thank you in advance for respecting that! If you have a specific question, please feel free to email me at hello[at]lhcalligraphy.com and if it is not too proprietary I will try to reply.
Lastly, it is so flattering that my calligraphy inspires you. And for anyone to say that they want their writing to be like mine is the utmost compliment, but I sincerely encourage everyone starting out to focus on finding their own style and creating the best version of their own art!
p.s. In case you are skeptical…here are some pics circa 2004. I repeat, practice is key!!
Skip to 2005 and improving already!
I would love to have your workshop visit Arizona! Any chance in the near future?
Hi Christine,
Nothing in the works at this time, but you never know! We DO have about 3 people coming to the LA class from AZ…just an idea! :)

You were so wonderful prior to our wedding with suggestions on planning, schedules and suggestions of everything that we needed to consider. You made me feel so comfortable and confident that you would work in with our schedule and that it could all work well.
Then you came to the venue and walked around with us to make sure that we were on the same wavelength and that we would be comfortable on the day. That made so much difference. You went above and beyond, our children were very happy with the way that you related to them and discussed things with them and that made us very happy too.
The photos so far look wonderful, the group photo is amazing, you have done such a great job.
You have such a lovely way with people, you make them smile, laugh and enjoy themselves. Nothing fazes you... if plan A is not going to work let's try plan B, C or D ... it's all workable with a smile.

Less lucrative drug money seizures lead to loss of sheriff's helicopter
Get rid of deputies or get rid of a helicopter: That was the choice he had to make, according to Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb.
"It came down to programs or people. And we chose people," Babb said.
The elimination by Babb of the Hawk I helicopter as a cost-saving measure in his 2013-2014 proposed budget reflects a fundamental change in a program used to buy and operate the aurcraft.
Babb cited the high cost of operating the helicopter in the face of shrinking federal asset seizure funds used to fund that operation.
Babb said that except for the pilot's salary which comes from the general fund budget, the operation and upkeep of Hawk I comes from equitable sharing funds, also referred to as federal asset seizure funds from drug busts. Hawk I was purchased with asset seizure funds for $1.7 million and went into service in February 2011.
Total aviation operational costs during the 2010-2011 fiscal year amounted to $228,385, Babb said. Those costs included storage and maintenance, communications and computers, fuel, insurance, parts and repairs and training. Those costs during the 2011-2012 fiscal year totaled $197,472. And so far this fiscal year, as of May 1, the costs totaled $175,819, Babb said.
As for the proposed budget, Babb said Hawk I was the largest item of those he eliminated from the proposed 2013-2014 budget. Of the $500,000 proposed for elimination, Hawk I accounted for approximately $200,000 of that amount.
The funds that went to Hawk I will be used instead to help offset other training that can amount to $200,000 and the maintenance of the $1.27 million computer system purchased two years ago.
The cost of that maintenance will be nearly $117,000 in the coming fiscal year and will increase each year to $143,098 by 2016-2017. Neither the computer system maintenance nor the training are part of the general fund and are paid for by asset seizure funds.
"That's the main purpose of the asset seizure money, to cover these expenses," Babb said, adding that the cost totaling more than $110,000 for cell phones and the wireless access system have been moved from the general fund to the asset seizure fund to save jobs.
"Hawk I was the biggest ticket item to cut and it impacted the sheriff's office the least," Babb said of the decision that received the recommendation of his management team. "It came down to programs or people. And we chose people."
And though it is not a general fund item, Babb noted that the asset seizure funds continue to decrease. The total federal asset seizure funds received by the sheriff's office during 2010-2011 amounted to $2.6 million while the office spent $3.2 million and had a balance of $1.5 million at the end of the year. The decrease continued in 2011-2012, when the sheriff's office received a total of $600,000 in seizure funds and spent $1.35 million, Babb said. The current balance in the asset seizure account is down to $750,000, Babb added.
So what accounts for the decrease in federal asset seizure funds? Babb said that aside from the reality that it takes years for an agency to get its share, it has become evident that drug dealers and cartels are becoming smarter in the way they operate and, subsequently, avoid capture and the seizure of the cash they carry.
"In the last few years seizures are down nationwide. The dealers and cartels are using more runners so that the amount of money you get in a drug bust is smaller than it used to be," Babb said. "Beyond that, the large dealers don't use hard currency as much as they used to. They buy large quantities of things like electronics, things that carry value, to use in place of currency."
Adding to the mix in terms of decreasing asset seizure dollars, are the increasing costs of agent training and hardware that tends to lower the balance in the asset seizure account, Babb added.
Asset seizure money also pays for the purchase, certification and kennel set-up for K-9 units, while the ongoing maintenance, medical expenses and food is a general fund item, Babb noted.
Having made the decision to eliminate three of the units, Babb said those officers had already vacated those positions for other assignments. One of the dogs is currently undergoing medical treatment at Auburn University, though Auburn is helping defray that expense, Babb added.
Babb said that while he expects to receive additional asset seizure funds in the future, the time had come to eliminate costly programs and use the currently shrinking asset seizure account for budget items that do not fall under the county's general fund.
The cost of that maintenance will be nearly $117,000 in the coming fiscal year and will increase each year to $143,098 by 2016-2017. Neither the computer system maintenance nor the training are part of the general fund and are paid for by asset seizure funds.
I certainly hope they keep seizures up, because funding an ongoing maintenance expense (computers) with asset funds is a formula for failure when the asset funds dry up.
Tough decisions sometimes require tough leadership and choices and I agree with what you are doing at the FCSO. It's not easy to make cuts anywhere but I like your priorities and your principles.
DISCLAIMER: I voted for Babb both elections he's run for sheriff. How he hasn't sent Wayne Hannah's wife to work in the jail like Hannah did to Babb after winning shows me that Babb really walks his talk :)
FC got a big improvement when they elected Babb. Randall had gotten up there in the years and kind of mailing it in and Hannah was pretty much a goof that had no business running a law enforcement agency. Randall's boy Bruce Jordan had blown-up and Hannah wasn't a good successor at all. Babb's a good man and a good, professional law enforcement guy that will help the FCSO during these times.
NUK_1...I am one of those rednecks you are always ranting about, but I have to agree with you on 2 things...Barry Babb is a good man and Tony Parrot is the one responsible for the troubles at the water department.
How long has Parrot been there? Why did he hire the current "Manager" at the water plant when he knew the man had no previous experience in water. If you talk to some folks in Coweta County that used to work with Mckinny, they will quickly tell you he was incompetent there and they could not believe that Parrot hired him to be "in charge".
Everybody I have talked to says that every problem that Mckinny caused is Tony's fault for hiring him and not managing him. Why would you hire an old man (in his seventies) who has no knowledge or experience when there are qualified folks in your own department who were overlooked and absolutely insulted when they had to do what Mckinny said to do even when they knew it was wrong?
Shame on Tony! He should have known better, but he never admits he is wrong or made mistakes. Until he has to! The employees at the water system are furious that management has put them in such bad light. I talked to 2 different employees and they both had pretty much the same stories about Parrot and Mckinny.
I was surprised that both employees were so willing to talk openly about the problems (one is a friend, but I never talked to the other one before), but my friend said he is looking for another job anyway because he is fed up with working for Tony Parrot. Shame really.
Good to know and thanks for posting it.
Days of Randall, hello to the days of "one term" Sheriff's. so sad.
Why in the world would you think Sheriff Babb would be a 'one term' Sheriff?
So the previous commission on Dunn et al was correct and all that legal nonsense from the previous sheriff and lawsuit over the hanger and such was a waste of taxpayer $'s? I read where the Copter went up a bunch but rarely did I read where it aided in the arrest. Too bad, the pilots were the most fit looking bunch in the sheriff's office.

Since his first film role in 1983's Testament, 15-year-old Lukas Haas has proven to be more than a flash phenomenon. From his Amish boy in Witness (1985) to his praised performance in the TV movie The Ryan White Story (1989), Haas has shown a depth and maturity unusual for a child star. His role as Buddy in Rambling Rose has allowed the actor another departure. ''I'm different than I usually am,'' he says. ''This time I'm not an innocent little boy.''
No, in fact, Haas' big scene is one in which the curious Buddy gets a tactile lesson in female anatomy in the bedroom of costar Laura Dern, who plays Rose, the family baby-sitter. Being the self-taught actor that he is, Haas delved into his own method for the segment. ''I wasn't trying to act,'' he says, sucking on a virgin strawberry daiquiri in a Los Angeles restaurant. ''I was just trying to get through the scene. It was pretty rough. If Laura or I made a mistake, we'd just stop for a second and go on.''
In real life Haas is that Hollywood hybrid that falls somewhere between adult and child. He lives in Austin, Tex., with his mother, Emily Tracey, an opera singer-turned-screenwriter, his father, Berthold Haas, a painter, and his twin brothers, Nikolai and Simon. ''Bobby'' Duvall counts as one of his best friends; Laura Dern is another. And when he's not on location, he plays drums and piano in a band called the Rogues. ''Basically,'' says Tracey, leaning in from a nearby table, ''our house is like Rose's we have ducks and chickens and doves and a dog and four cats.'' ''Except,'' adds Haas, washing down his cheeseburger with a chocolate shake, ''we don't have a baby-sitter like Rose.''

Watch Oil Prices Drop as China Focuses on Natural Gas
Two major changes in China's energy needs will happen as production moves higher. The first is the mitigation and likely end of oil imports into China, removing massive demand in the oil markets.
The second significant change is the production of vehicles. As domestic natural gas supplies increasingly come online, expect vehicles to either drive out of the factory able to use dual fuel (gas/diesel or natural gas), or simply natural gas.
Both Ford Motor (F) and General Motors (GM) produce natural gas vehicles and have factories in China. Ford recently committed to expanding their presence in Asia and China. (Read my Get Ready To Accelerate Your Ford Investment article.)
Financially, it makes perfect sense for Ford and GM to produce natural gas vehicles in both markets. China is the largest auto market in the world and the U.S. is the second largest. Both countries drive on the "right" side of the road although I believe the safety standards are different. The salient point is the total market for natural gas cars is more than needed to justify the research and development investment for both Ford and GM.When the two largest oil-consuming nations in the world rotate out of oil and into natural gas, expect oil price headwinds. Also, expect a higher floor in the price of natural gas. Both countries will continue to use oil but the amount imported is almost assured to fall.

Message to the UW-Eau Claire Campus Community
From Chancellor Donald Mash
19, 2003
Doyle proposes $250 million in cuts to UW System budget
Jim Doyle presented his 2003-05 budget bill to the state Legislature
last night, proposing cuts to the UW System budget that are
so deep they threaten the quality of and access to higher education
at UW-Eau Claire and throughout the System.
The Governor
has proposed to cut $250 million in state GPR funding from the
UW System over the next two years, which translates into about
$12.5 million for UW-Eau Claire. By way of comparison, our cuts
in the current 2001-03 biennium totaled approximately $2.5 million.
To cushion
some of the budget cuts, Gov. Doyle has proposed that tuition
be increased up to $250 a semester to bring it more in line
with the average at other Midwest public universities. To ease
the burden on our neediest students, he has proposed $20 million
in financial aid to help offset those increases. I applaud the
initiative to make sure financial aid is available.
The Governor's
budget bill is alarming, but we must remember the numbers will
likely change as the budget bill makes its way through the state
legislative process. The proposal presented by the Governor
is the first step in what will likely be a multi-month negotiating
process before the state Legislature passes a final budget bill.
UW System
President Katharine Lyall has called these proposed cuts the
deepest the UW System has faced in its history. In my view,
our challenge will be to manage our reductions in a way that
preserves our capacity for excellence until we come out of this
economic downturn.
While we
hope the final cuts to the UW System budget are far less than
those proposed by the Governor, we expect them to be significant
given the state's $3.2 billion budget shortfall. We will
work hard for -- and hope for -- the best but plan for the worst.
It will not be business as usual for UW-Eau Claire or any other
UW-Eau Claire
administrators will work with our campus community as we try
to identify ways to absorb the cuts while continuing to provide
students with the high-quality education they expect and to
serve the Chippewa Valley region as we have in the past.
We will
do our best to keep you informed about the state budget situation
as the process moves forward. To help us share information quickly,
I have asked the News Bureau to create a State Budget Update
Web site where information will be posted as it becomes available.
Check the site often, www.uwec.edu/NewsBureau/StateBudgeUpdate.
You also will find the Web site by going to the State Budget
Update heading under Headline News on UW-Eau Claire's
I also encourage
you to participate in the university's open forums Provost
Ronald Satz is hosting, to provide information while giving
you a chance to ask questions and share suggestions regarding
the budget. You will find a schedule of those forums on the
State Budget Update Web site.
will be the key to maintaining campus morale during these difficult
and challenging times. We are determined to work at developing
a shared understanding of what is and isn't true as we
move forward. Clarity of information and rationale for any actions
taken in response to this daunting challenge will be a priority.

Identity thief gets 5 years in prison
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Federal authorities say a 25-year-old Syracuse woman has been ordered to pay more than $55,000 in restitution and sentenced to five years in prison for falsely using four people's personal information to get loans and credit cards.
According to prosecutors, Maurisha Dixon, who pleaded guilty last year to 11 felony charges, continued doing it after she was first indicted and under federal court supervision.
Under Judge David Hurd's order, Dixon is to repay nearly $36,700 to the student lender Sallie Mae, $5,000 to The College Loan Corp. and more than $10,000 to KeyBank.
She was sent to prison after sentencing Friday and also ordered to spend four years under supervision after she leaves prison.
Her convictions include aggravated identity theft, wire fraud and false representation of a Social Security number.

You are in: Home › Statistics › Statistics by Theme › Migration › Migration Statistics ›
The United Kingdom Statistics Authority (UKSA) has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in line with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (available on the UKSA website).
It is increasingly important to have high quality statistics on migration and the population, for policy development and for planning and providing public services. Achieving this aim is challenging in the context of increasingly complex lifestyles and changes in migration to and from the UK over the last decade.
Migration is the most difficult component of population change to estimate; there is no comprehensive system which registers migration in the UK. Estimates of migration therefore have to be based on survey data and the best proxy data that exist.
The links below provide access to estimates of migration within Scotland, between Scotland and the rest of the UK and between Scotland and overseas. The migration statistics Methodology section on this website explains how these estimates are produced.
Estimates of migration for the UK, England and Wales are available on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) website, and for Northern Ireland from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) website.
Summary Statistics
An overview of statistical trends in migration to, from and within Scotland can be accessed from the High Level Summary of Statistical Trends of our website.
More information and statistics
Detailed information on migration can be found in the tables below. Further information, including commentary on these statistics, can be found on this website in the Registrar Generals Annual Review and also in the Mid-Year Population Estimates publications for the relevant year.

These detailed migration tables have been updated to include migration estimates for 2013, following the publication of the 2013 mid-year population estimates in April.
New NHS Board areas came into force in April 2014. These new 2014 NHS Boards have been used for 2012/13 data only, with the pre-2006 NHS Board areas being used for data up to and including 2011/12, as publishing older data using the 2014 NHS Board areas would create a disclosure risk. Some of the changes made to NHS Board boundaries involve a small number of postcodes being moved between NHS Board areas, so it would potentially be possible to identify moves to/from these postcodes by taking the difference between data produced using the different NHS Board area definitions.
The migration estimates published in some of these detailed tables will not match exactly the totals published in tables 4c and 5c of the mid-year estimates publication for mid-2012 which was published in August 2013. This is because, when compiling these detailed tables, a minor error was discovered in the previously published mid-year migration estimates for 2012. As the impact of this error is negligible on the migration estimates and has 'no impact at all on the population estimates' we have not corrected the migration estimates used in the mid-year estimates publication for 2012 but we have corrected the migration estimates in the appropriate detailed tables. Footnotes clearly label those tables affected. The very small error only affected migration estimates for 5 Council areas (East Dunbartonshire, City of Edinburgh, Glasgow City, Stirling, and West Lothian) and four NHS Board areas (NHS Ayrshire & Arran, NHS Borders, NHS Dumfries & Galloway, and NHS Lanarkshire) with a maximum difference of 5 people in one Council area and 3 people in two of the NHS Board areas for the net migration estimates.

Three major US grain, animal feed and feed ingredient processing organizations commended the Food and Drug Administration for clarifying its enforcement policy for implementing several key sections of the Food Safety Modernization Act, which was signed into law in January 2011.
Among other things,
the Food Safety Modernization Act specifies a July 3 effective date for requirements that grain, feed, feed ingredient, grain processing, milling and other sectors of the commercial food and animal feed industry conduct hazard analyses and implement preventive controls. The law also establishes a January 3, 2013, effective date for facilities to establish foreign supplier verification procedures.
However, FDA has not yet proposed or obtained public comment on regulations spelling out the compliance requirements for these provisions that will apply to various industry sectors. The agency has said it is planning to issue two distinct sets of proposed rules concerning the hazard analysis and preventive control requirements, one for human food and another for animal feed and petfood.
The American Feed Industry Association, National Grain and Feed Association and National Oilseed Processors Association wrote to FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods Michael Taylor requesting that FDA exercise enforcement discretion in enforcing these provisions of FSMA until final regulations are issued and an appropriate implementation period is provided. The three organizations expressed concern about FDA's pending plans to enforce these statutory provisions "given that proposed rules implementing these sections have not even been promulgated yet." The associations requested clarification from the agency on its intentions and plans regarding such enforcement as soon as possible so that they could provide guidance to their member companies and affiliated state and regional associations.
In a response letter, Deputy Commissioner Taylor wrote that FDA will "expect to enforce compliance" with the hazard analysis, preventive control and foreign supplier verification provisions of the Food Safety Modernization Act within the "timeframes that will be described in the final rules." Taylor also said the agency "is committed to full and timely implementation" of these provisions of the law. Taylor also reminded facilities that compliance with existing good manufacturing practice regulations and other food and feed safety-related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act remain in effect and are subject to inspection and enforcement by FDA.
The question is whether they provide additional benefit to the dog or cat
It's the finishing touch that can meet both owner and pet needs.
What is this quiet, unassuming ingredient, and should it be there?
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
Public meetings invited comments and provided updates
It gives more direct control to CVM in establishing and maintaining ingredient definitions
Processors should carefully develop, validate and implement an effective kill step to support production of pathogen-free petfoods
The new US food safety legislation will also affect regulation of petfood

The Tobacco Candle
Michael Moretti
Posted: March 3, 2003
Your wife says there's no cigars in the house. So, you try to cover up the odor of your cigar smoke by spraying a can of scented air freshener around the room, emphatically flailing your arms as she approaches. Instead, you create a hodgepodge of flowers and ash that smells more like eau de forest fire than country fresh.
Of course, we don't understand why anyone would want to cover up the fragrant perfume of a good cigar. But if you want to save your marriage, the tobacco candle from Arango Cigar may be just the thing.
The company claims that while air fresheners only mask odors caused by cigar smoke, the tobacco candle has components that will neutralize odors. Mike Gold at Arango Cigar says the "amazing green dot" makes this all possible. Located on top of the candle next to the wick, the green dot is made with a blend of natural citrus and wood oils which when burned release a scent that cancels out the smell of cigar smoke. The candles come in vanilla, strawberry and odorless varieties. Gold said the originals were all odorless, but customers wanted the scented. The wives strike again.
Arango recommends you burn the candle for three hours every time you smoke. Light the candle about an hour before you smoke, keep it burning while you puff, and let it stay lit for about an hour after you finish. The company claims each candle lasts for up to 50 hours.
Retailing for $6, the Arango tobacco candle is available at fine cigar shops. To find a location in your area, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wildlife » Revised management plan lets rodents be relocated.
By Mark Havnes | The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published May 08 2012
Cedar City • The first relocation of beavers under a revised state management plan went swimmingly, according to state wildlife officials.
Since Friday, nine of the rodents have been released in a southern Utah stream in the Dixie National Forest under terms of a plan that allows biologists to trap and transplant beavers to sites where they can help restore watershed and landscapes.
This relocation was set in motion by Merril Evans, who owns irrigated pasture land in Panguitch where six of the beavers were trapped. Evans said he called the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and asked what he could do when he noticed beavers were cutting down trees on his property. He gave permission for the animals to be trapped.
"They were really great guys," he said of a biologist and a volunteer from the Grand Canyon Trust. They not only trapped the rodents but protected still standing trees with wire fencing to prevent future problems from other beavers.

Gallery: first look at the official Lego Minecraft set
What seemed to be a match made in heaven is soon going to be a reality. After tying the knot, Lego and developer Mojang, will release official Minecraft physical play things in all glorious brick form later this summer. This is what toy bricks of digital bricks look like.
Getting a little creative has never stopped Lego hobbyists, but Lego Minecraft Micro World is the first legit Minecraft set with Steve and Creeper character blocks.
You'd better like green, brown and gray, because that's mostly what you'll get. Then again, there isn't much color variety in Minecraft to begin with.
One big question is: where's the Minecraft axe? That's a staple! You can't not have the axe.
Can't wait to buy your own Lego Minecraft set? Head on over to Jinx. They're going for $35 a pop.

- Women's and Gender Studies
- For Senior Majors
Senior Majors Information
All senior thesis applications are due April 1st of the student's junior year. Please note that you should consult with Women's and Gender Studies faculty who you feel might be able to help you as you write your proposal. As you will see from the application, the proposal you will be asked to write is fairly detailed. Therefore, you should think carefully about what you want your senior thesis to be, and what sources and/or methods you will use to complete your thesis. Also, you should be aware of the courses and experiences you have that will allow you to successfully complete your senior thesis. We have found in our experience that it is vital that students have a sufficient background to complete the proposed thesis in order for that thesis to be completed successfully. Therefore, don't propose to complete a thesis for which you have insufficient coursework as a foundation. The prerequisites for the senior thesis are the successful completion of WGS 353W Feminist Theory, a relevant method/theory course given your proposed thesis, and senior standing.
Prior to graduation, we want all Women's and Gender Studies seniors to reflect on their experiences within the major. This will help the Women's and Gender Studies faculty know if we are meeting our pedagogical goals for our students and will allow you to reflect on what you have gained by being a Women's and Gender Studies major. The reflection is due December 1st (for December graduates) or May 1st (for May graduates) and is required in order to receive a grade for your senior thesis. A more detailed description of the reflection assignment can be found in the link below.

Sous vide (pronounced soo-veed) means "under vacuum" in French, and sous vide cooking is a gourmet culinary technique long used by chefs worldwide. However, this incredible cooking method is now accessible to home cooks through the award-winning, easy-to-use SousVide Supreme® water oven.
The sous vide cooking technique involves cooking food in vacuum-sealed pouches, submerged in a water bath held at a precisely controlled temperature. The end result? Perfectly cooked food.
Order yours today!
What's exciting about the sous vide method is that it is a unique way of cooking that yields different and better results. Foods cooked sous vide develop flavors and textures that simply cannot be duplicated using any other traditional cooking method.
Cooking sous vide offers many benefits:
Incredible Taste
Natural flavor and juices are infused into the food while in the cooking pouch resulting in incomparable flavors and texture.
Convenience and Foolproof Results
Anyone can now cook food to perfection, and the minimal hands-on cooking saves time. Like your own personal chef, the SousVide Supreme cooks during the workday or overnight.
Maximum Nutrition
Beneficial nutrients found in food are retained in the pouches, compared to traditional cooking methods where nutrients either evaporate or are left in the pan.
SousVide Supreme makes it easy to prepare gourmet meals in under 30 minutes hands-on time, all with incredible flavors and nutritional benefits. Sous vide cooking requires no skill—the water oven does most of the work itself with only a few steps that even a beginner can master:
Season food with your favorite herbs and spices.
Vacuum seal foods in a food-grade cooking pouch.
Drop the sealed pouch into the water oven. Temperature is precisely controlled so food will not overcook.
Plate directly from the pouch or for a golden brown crisp exterior, sear briefly.
Want to cook the perfect steak, pork chop or rack of lamb?
These recipes will guide you through the simple steps to sous vide perfection. Only with sous vide cooking can a cut of meat be unfailingly cooked edge-to-edge to the preferred degree of doneness, whether that temperature is rare, medium-rare, medium, or more well-done. The gentle and precise temperature of the sous vide water bath can effortlessly cook tough cuts to perfection throughout, resulting in fork tender, flavorful and delicious meat.
