Most baseball fans have spent the first half of the season watching their favorite teams, as well as getting a good laugh out of the constant YouTube videos coming from Taiwan.
Manny Ramirez, in his short term with the EDA Rhinos, starred in his own version of Mr. Baseball part 2 as a crowd favorite in the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
Ramirez hit 8 Homers, moonwalked to the dugout, and had a hilarious attempt to slide into 2B (and stopped about ten feet short).
But the joke was on Texas Rangers fans on Wednesday, whenever Ramirez signed a minor league contract and was optioned to AAA Round Rock Express.

Three Potential Bargains In MLB Free Agency: Lohse, K-Rod And Thome/Hafner Tandem
Sunday, January 27th, 2013

Sam Evans (Baseball Writer): Follow @RJA206
Travis Hafner, Francisco Rodriguez, and Kyle Lohse have all shown that they can be above-average Major League players. However, with all three above the age of 30, teams are nervous to sign any of them to the multi-year contracts they want. Hafner has dealt with knee and back injuries over the past two seasons, but he still can bring power to an American League team in need of a DH. Francisco Rodriguez has always dealt with off the field issues, but he was very effective as Milwaukee's set-up man in 2012. Kyle Lohse, who is coming off a season in which he posted a 3.51 FIP in 211, is the top free agent pitcher on the market right now but his age and inconsistency scares away possible suitors. Despite their age, inconsistency, and injuries, all three of these players could play a large role on MLB teams in 2013.

The Texas Rangers Payroll In 2013 And Contracts Going Forward

By Nicholas Rossoletti (MLB Reports Trade Correspondent): Follow @NRoss56
It is easy to equate a big market team's success with merely a willingness to overspend on free agents and use their superior earning power to dominate the sport. While the Rangers certainly are not afraid of spending all that money that playing the Dallas/Fort Worth area provides, it would be inaccurate to equate the team's recent string of success with only their ability to outspend a fair portion of their competitors. As we enter the 2013 season, the Rangers have built a very strong base – while managing to not tie themselves to any back-breaking, future altering contracts. That is a testament to the organization's belief in its system – and its refusal to spend on player just because they are able to. With that being said, let's take a look at the Rangers 2013 payroll as of now and see where Texas will be spending its money next season.

Looking back on the end of the 2012 season, and how the AL West lead was given up in a matter of days to Oakland, it's clear the Texas front office wanted change in the clubhouse for 2013. It seems as though GM Jon Daniels' motto for the offseason is "out with the old, in with the new….er". Daniels is eager to bring a World Series victory to Arlington and has pieced together a team of new players with old postseason successes. There is also a chance that the Rangers will also bring up some of their promising prospects that they protected throughout the offseason trade frenzy. This makes for some very interesting lineup possibilities for the upcoming season, especially with the major roles needing to be filled by former Ranger departures such as 1B/C Mike Napoli, U Michael Young, OF Josh Hamilton, and P Ryan Dempster.

James Paxton Deserves More Attention

Sam Evans (Baseball Writer): Follow @RJA206
James Paxton is one of the most talented Left-Handed pitching prospects currently in the Minor Leagues. However, partially because he went through trouble entering the MLB Draft a few years ago, Paxton seems to be underrated be most of the baseball world. There is a decent chance that Paxton will make his MLB debut in Seattle before the All-Star Break, so he should have a chance to get some of the attention he deserves in 2012. The Mariners are lucky to have Paxton, whether they use him as a trading piece or they decide to keep him. James Paxton has the talent to become a #3 starter in the majors and it won't be long before the baseball world is much more aware of this.
Who Have Been The Toughest Former Red Sox To See In A Yankees Uniform?

Follow @mlbreportsSaturday, December.15/2012
By Saul Wisnia, Red Sox Correspondent (Read his blog 'Fenway Reflections' here): Follow @SaulWizz
Pending a failed physical or other unforeseen mishap, Kevin Youkilis will be manning third base and wearing pinstripes when the Red Sox open the 2013 season at Yankee Stadium on April 1. Amazingly, it won't be until July 19 that the teams will square off in Boston, giving Fenway Park fans their first chance to see their former favorite son in a New York uniform.
Red Sox Nation had an opportunity to adjust to life with Youk in the visitor's dugout when the White Sox visited Fenway shortly after his trade to Chicago last summer, but this is a much different situation. Boston fans may develop a kinder, gentler hatred for the Yankees since 2004, but there is something about seeing a former Red Sox in enemy colors that still tugs at the heartstrings.
Here's a look back at some of the biggest Boston heroes to wind up in the Bronx — and how they fared on their Fenway returns. Read the rest of this entry
Ryan Madson and Edwin Jackson: Free Agent Gambles That Became Scott Boras Blunders
Monday November 12th, 2012
Jake Dal Porto: There isn't a single general manager is baseball that enjoys negotiating with Scott Boras, the man behind many of baseball's top players. He usually gets his way when the final dominos fall, but he isn't perfect. Edwin Jackson and Ryan Madson are two examples of Boras's flawed work of late.
Here's how they have and will be affected in free agency:
How Edwin Jackson Will Be Affected
Jackson seems to be the MLB's definition of a journeyman. With ten years under his belt, he has pitched on seven teams, and not once has he signed a contract worth longer than three years. Jackson had an opportunity to erase that trend last off-season with several long-term deals at his disposal. However, Fox Sport's Ken Rosenthal noted last winter that instead of taking the safe route, he could roll the dice and shoot for a larger contract next winter, which is now this winter. Jackson followed Rosenthal's blueprint, signing a one-year deal with the Nationals worth $11 million. Read the rest of this entry
2012 MLB Draft Picks: Signings, Failures, and Surprises
Monday July 16th, 2012
Bernie Olshansky: The 2012 Major League Baseball Draft was a good one for all of the teams except the Pirates. Unfortunately, the Pirates couldn't ink their first round pick, pitcher Mark Appel. Pittsburgh will receive the ninth overall pick in next year's draft, and will have to deal with the reality of losing out on a top arm. Here's a list of some unsigned draft picks and some surprises who ended up signing:
Mark Appel, Eighth overall, Pirates
Appel was touted as a possible first-overall pick, with a plus fastball and three years of college experience. Once the Astros passed him up, many thought the Twins would pick him at second overall. When the Twins selected outfielder Byron Buxton, the Mariners seemed to be the next to have Appel as a steal. On and on this went until Appel fell to eighth overall. I couldn't believe it, and I'm sure many were stunned. Appel seemed like a good fit for many of the teams that passed on him, but good for the Pirates—they got a steal. Now they had a possible Gerrit Cole/Mark Appel one-two punch for years to come. For the Pirates, there was a lot to be optimistic about. For Appel, not so much. In my opinion, after dropping to eighth, he was upset enough to decide to return to Stanford and try to build on a 10-2 record with a 2.56 ERA in order to be selected higher in next year's draft.

Ryan Madson: A Free Agent Closer with no Job?
Thursday December 8, 2011
MLB reports – Jonathan Hacohen: With the Winter Meetings at an end, players/teams/agents are left standing to look over the game of musical chairs and who is left standing. A particularly interesting position was closer- with more eligible players than open positions. In the past few weeks, we have seen many signings and trades in this area. Jonathan Papelbon to the Phillies. Sergio Santos to the Blue Jays. Huston Street to the Padres. Francisco Rodriguez accepted arbitration from the Brewers. Heath Bell to the Marlins. Joe Nathan to the Rangers. Andrew Bailey is openly being discussed in the trade market as leaving the A's. Frank Francisco and Jon Rauch joined the Mets. As a result, one big name is left standing with no dance partner. Ryan Madson is still on the open market with few promising prospects ahead.
As the story goes, Madson was supposed to re-sign with the Phillies. A reported 4-year, estimated $44 million contract was put on the table by the Phillies early in free agency. Player and agent (Scott Boras) happily accepted and a Philadelphia return was in order. Not so fast. There are conflicting stories on what transpired. Needless to say, there was never a firm deal in place and the Phillies moved quickly to sign the top closer on the free agent market, Jonathan Papelbon. Since then, there has been little discussion on Madson. There have been reports throughout the process linking him to the Jays, Marlins and Red Sox. Well…the first 2 teams have filled their vacancies. The Red Sox have Daniel Bard as the incumbent set-up man who could get a look at the closing position- although he may end up in the rotation. Other than that, there seems to be little hope for Madson.
Last night, Madson chose not to the K-Rod route and accept salary arbitration. As a result, he remains out in the market waiting for his next contract offer. Francisco Cordero is in the same boat, although he is still likely to go back to the Reds on a 1-2 year contract from the whispers around the league. But even if the Reds do not retain Cordero, it is unlikely that they will sign Madson- especially given the young players they still need to lock-up to extensions. So what other options exist for Madson? Perhaps the Orioles. Maybe the Rays. The options are getting bleak.
This is one of the few times that you will see Scott Boras caught "with his pants down" so to speak. For an agent that is well known to be able to create and stimulate markets and demands for his clients, Boras has come up short for Madson. The perception is that the Phillies did what was best for them in signing Papelbon, which left Boras outraged and in a bind. With little to no teams looking for closers, Boras essentially only has the Red Sox to work with. At this point, he may need to take a 1-2 year deal for Madson, in the $7-10 million range to rebuild his value and try again on the open market in the future. A risky proposition, but with few options- Madson may have no other choice.
I was actually quite surprised that Madson didn't take the Phillies offer of arbitration. Based on his stellar 2011 numbers, he could have expected a strong 1-year contract at least. Now Boras and Madson are left to take their chances on the open market. For a closer with only 1 full year on the job, time is not on Madson's side. A proven closer like Francisco Cordero knows that he find a contract soon. Heck, even K-Rod knows that he just needs another solid season under his belt and his next deal will follow shortly after. Madson was in line for his first and only big payday this offseason. If he gets hurt or becomes ineffective in 2012, that dream vanishes. Scott Boras better work overtime to get the Red Sox biting on his closer client. Otherwise, it may not turn out to be a very Merry Christmas in the Madson household this year.

Why was the clause written so generally? It has give way to so much confusion as to what the founders really meant. Why did they not specify where religious liberties start and stop? Even after reading so much about it in school and elsewhere, I'm still unable to grasp it.

Reference Notes® Securities Auction FAQ
- Why is Freddie Mac conducting Reference Notes® securities auctions?
- What products will Freddie Mac sell by auction?
- What type of auction will Freddie Mac use?
- Who can participate?
- Why should investors participate?
- When will the auctions be held?
- What are the auction rules?
- How does one submit bids?
- Will my bids and activity be known?
- Will there be WI (When Issued) trading?
- What are Freddie Mac's control measures?
Why is Freddie Mac conducting Reference Notes securities auctions?
Freddie Mac is committed to deliver value to investors by promoting the transparency, regularity, and liquidity of its debt products. Reference Notes securities auctions will offer investors highly transparent, market-driven new issue pricing on a regular schedule. We expect these auctions to contribute to the orderly growth and evolution of the fixed-income market, including WI (When Issued) and repo trading. -
What products will Freddie Mac sell by auction?
Currently, Freddie Mac auctions Reference Bills® securities (discount notes with terms of 12 months and less). Reference Notes securities are offered via either a dealer syndicate or an auction.
What type of auction will Freddie Mac use?
The auctions will use a closed-bid, Dutch auction (uniform yield and price) format. Participants will submit bids electronically prior to the auction close, without knowledge of bids submitted by other participants. All notes are awarded at the highest accepted yield. After determining the highest accepted yield, Freddie Mac then sets the coupon rate and price. We expect the calculation time to generally be only a few minutes from the close of the auction.
Freddie Mac has designated a group of about 35 dealers. All bids must be submitted by, or through, these dealers, including those bids submitted by investors. Investors may also submit bids through intermediary dealers that transact with Freddie Mac's designated dealer group members.
Why should investors participate?
Depending upon prevailing market conditions, the auction may provide the least expensive way to purchase new issue Reference Notes securities. Investors can participate directly in the auctions to buy the product at the price corresponding to the stop rate. Investors should discuss with their designated dealer(s) any specific clearing and settlement fees that may apply.
To facilitate liquid when-issued markets, Freddie Mac will indicate the issue size and the CUSIP number on the official auction announcement date as indicated on the Global Issuance Calendar. -
When will the auctions be held?
Freddie Mac's 2015 Funding Calendar states the announcement dates for Reference Notes securities. On the announcement date, Freddie Mac will announce whether the offering will take place via auction or via an underwriting syndicate. Dealers may submit bids during the window that the auction remains open. -
The Freddie Mac Reference Notes Securities Auction Procedures are intended to facilitate broad distribution of the auctioned Reference Notes securities, to protect against manipulation, and to be market-friendly. All auction participants are deemed to certify that they are in compliance with and bound by the Auction Procedures.
Investors submit bids by notifying one or more of their designated dealers and formally giving a bid or bids for submission in a specific auction. Such bids must include an amount, a yield (unless non-competitive), and a net long position, if applicable (see the Auction Procedures).
Investors may submit or modify bids up to, but not beyond, the closing time of the auction, subject to any administrative restrictions that the designated dealer may choose to impose. For instance, a dealer may impose its own policy to limit modifications or bid entry only up to a certain time before the auction.
Intermediaries may submit bids to Dealer Group members for their own account or for the accounts of others. At Freddie Mac's request, any participating intermediary must disclose the identity of the account on behalf of which it submits each of its bids. -
Will my bids and activity be known?
The data contained within Freddie Mac auctions is secure and confidential. Bids and awards are known only to Freddie Mac, its auction administrator, and the dealer or dealers through which bids are submitted. Investor names appear only on the screens of the primary Dealer Group members they designate. Investors may use more than one dealer per auction, if desired. However, because Freddie Mac sees the identity of each bidder, it is able to aggregate all bids from the same investor, monitor compliance, and award notes within applicable Auction Procedures. -
Will there be WI (When Issued) trading?
Freddie Mac specifies the issue size and CUSIP number to enable pre-auction WI secondary market trading but is not a counter-party or participant in such activity. Investors may contact dealers for pre-auction bids and offers of Reference Notes securities. -
What are Freddie Mac's control measures?
Freddie Mac intends for its Reference Notes securities auctions to be efficient, orderly, and transparent pricing events for the fixed-income markets. In an effort to foster as orderly a market possible, Freddie Mac imposes rules (see Auction Procedures) that are binding upon all who participate in the auctions. Among other safeguards, Freddie Mac reserves the right to contact participating dealers, intermediaries and investors to request, verify, and audit auction-related activity including, but not limited to, WI positions, bids submitted, account names and other information which it deems necessary to ensure efficient and orderly auctions. Freddie Mac may suspend dealers, intermediaries or investors, temporarily or permanently, from participating in its auctions, may pursue legal action if its rules have been violated and will cooperate with regulatory authorities with respect to monitoring or enforcement activities.

"A serious comic mystery. Wait for the movie?"
This book is hard to classify. You might call it a comic mystery, but I didn't find it all that funny. It does accurately reflect a certain time (late 1960's) and place (Southern California beach towns) and the business and brutal side of the drug culture. Various characters, including the PI, "Doc" Sportello, reminded me of an amalgam of "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers," comic book characters from the early 1970's. At one point, Doc recites their favorite line: "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope." They had no ambition other than to smoke dope and try psychedelic drugs (other than heroin), a little like Doc. He appears to be smart but views the world through a continual marijuana haze. It gets tiresome after a while. There are too many characters and side detours, at least for me, who only listens in the car while commuting or shopping. His dialog with the "honest cop," Bigfoot Bjornsen, contrasts their different life styles and philosophies, but eventually, it too seems to grow stale. One does sense a mutual respect.
The narrator does a pretty good job handling the myriad challenges of the book, but sometimes, I couldn't distinguish a character by his/her voice. Altogether, a mixed bag.
I gather a film of the same name will be released in 2014, starring Joaquin Phoenix as "Doc." It'll no doubt be simplified and easier to understand. It'll be interesting to see whether I will like it better than the audiobook.
"Mediocre plot; terrible narration."
This purports to be a police procedural, but the story is plodding and boring. Bosch's new partner Soto is an interesting character, but she's a bit fast and loose with her service revolver.
With Titus Welliver playing Harry Bosch in Amazon.com's new series, you'd think he'd be a more invested reader. Instead he reads in a monotone and only differentiates characters minimally. I was very disappointed. I wonder whether I will like Welliver any better in the online series.
"One of the best of the series."
I really enjoyed this one. It is a mystery with enough clues to allow the reader to guess the villain without being terribly disappointed by the ending. I've read most of the books in the Dismas Hardy series, and this is one of the more believable, action-packed stories, with substantial character development of Amy Wu and others besides the usual insights and foibles of Hardy and Glitsky.
Hardy & Glitsky age throughout the series so this would not be the best place to start. I recommend going back at least to book 3, Hard Evidence.
"Great prose, but not a great story."
This is a work of historical fiction about a relatively minor episode in the history of New Guinea, although it does provide a glimpse of what German colonialism was like in 1906. I've read all McKinty's mysteries, and this novel is quite different. Although I thought his prose was often as fine as usual, the story itself isn't all that exciting. Some of the characters were interesting, although I couldn't tell how much of their personalities were figments of McKinty's imagination. I love listening to Gerard Doyle, so between his narration and McKinty's writing, I found the book enjoyable. Thankfully, it wasn't too long.
"Terribly disappointing, both story and narration."
It's rated 4.4 currently, so it's clear this book appeals to many people. I don't understand why. Maybe some young adults would be more sympathetic, but I think more likely, they would just roll their eyes.
First of all, the story was out of the 40's and 50's. Had it been written then, maybe it would have been novel. By now, it's old hat. I don't think it spoils anything to say that the story of a young, introverted, white girl falling for a perfect black boy has been done before and better.Secondly, it dragged on interminably, flashbacks by the white woman, present time by the black woman, who somehow was enchanted with the old lady's life. I listened for 2.5 hours before asking myself why I was wasting my time. I read a few spoilers on GR to see if the plot developed as I anticipated, and I was right. I wasn't going to get anything more out of this book, so I quit.
I might be willing to give them another try, but Lorna Raver's portrayal of Isabelle drove me nuts. Bahni Turpin was ok.
As a morality tale, it's ok, but do we need another superficial rendition of this theme?
I don't understand the high ratings that this has received. I know lots of people foreswear writing negative reviews--look at the most liked review by Alexandria Milton. It is fair but negative.
"One of the best of the great Hardy-Glitsky series."
This is a great mystery story. Although there are enough hints to anticipate the big surprise, it didn't detract from wanting to find out who and why! Readers new to the series are likely to get bored with all the details of the Hardy and Glitsky families, but if, as I do, I find their relationships and histories interesting and realistic, you won't mind. Further, the characters age and change, so it is best to read most of this series in sequence.
Colacci does his usual excellent work as narrator. Highly recommended.
"One of the best in the Dortmunder series."
I enjoy the whimsical series about career criminal Dortmunder and his doing right by attempting wrongdoing. This is one of the most amusing of his capers, and his ability to escape from tight spots is seriously challenged. I found the narrator pleasant to listen to.
"Enjoyable but not up to usual standards."
I like Camilleri's mysteries about Inspector Montalbano but this is a fun read, it is below average for this series. Who the villain is isn't too hard to figure out, although his precise motivation remains hidden for a long time. Grover Gardner performs his usual high quality narration.
"A transparent, high-tech thriller, well read."
This is the first of Berenson's novels I've read. If you like the sort of thrillers in which the only suspense is how the (super)hero will defeat his adversaries, then you probably will enjoy Night Ranger. I prefer stories with mystery in addition to adventure in which the identity of the villain and other adversaries isn't known. It was clear from the outset that Wells would somehow succeed; it is only a question of how. In this case, the high-tech superiority of the USA combines with Wells's cleverness and fighting skills to overwhelm relatively primitive, youthful Somalian militia. It is sort of believable but not at all surprising. The narrator George Guidall is one of my favorites.
"Science, technology, personalities entangled."
I like Hager as a science writer. I had not known much about the Haber-Bosch process or its developers. It illustrates that, as usual, scientific and technological progress is a double-edged sword with potential for both good and evil. Of the two main characters, I found Bosch the engineer/businessman to be the more admirable, however brilliant a chemist Haber may have been. The narration is good, except that certain scientific or German words are completely mispronounced.
"Nice story but events disjunctive and pacing slow"
I liked the concept of the book. Chapters alternate between the PoV of the German boy and the French, blind girl, whose destinies ultimately intersect. Events were not presented chronologically but were also not simply a flashback or two, so it was sometimes hard to follow. After a certain point, the story kind of dragged. I have the feeling that the emotional impact of the book would have been greater if it were shorter. Nevertheless, the painful experience of growing up during the late 30's and 40's comes through clearly. The prose is very good; descriptions are vivid and lifelike. I could have done without the fantasies and dream sequences.
The narrator did a very good job. I wonder whether I would have finished without it.

Hairstyles for Business Women
Presenting a Professional Profile: Hairstyle Tips for Business-Minded Women
Many young women today focus a great deal of attention on their appearance. They will spend hours getting their hair cut, colored, curled, straightened and myriad other things all in the name of looking good. Yet, a surprising number dont consider their jobs when choosing these hairstyle options and the fact is that your hairstyle can say more about you to an employer (
or a potential employer
) than you may realize. And this may not be the impression you want to give.
Common Hairstyles and their Impressions
Well look at some of the categories of hairstyles and the general impressions they give in the workplace. Particularly when combined with different fashion looks, these styles can present unfortunate impressions.
Big Hair
The Big Hair look gets its name from the rural pageant circuit where most contestants (of ANY age) have their hair curled and styled to have as much volume as possible. Such hairstyles may include the use of hairpieces and other accessories, and always take a considerable amount of time. Of course, this isnt always pageant hair. The Big Hair type includes any hairstyle that looks to take a great deal of grooming effort to achieve.
Big Hair styles usually fall into two groups: those who are maintained and created on a daily basis, and those that are created and then reworked on subsequent days until they must be redone.
The general impression created by the Big Hair look depends on which of the two groups an individual falls into. The impression of a Big Hair style that is recreated daily is of someone who takes a lot of time focusing on the appearance. It could give the impression that you are more concerned with how you look than how well you do your job.
On the flip side, the Big Hair style that is reworked can present a more significant negative. When your appearance seems to deteriorate day after day until you decide you need to make an effort to restore it, you leave an employer wondering whether you can present a consistently good impression to clients. No employer wants to have to think of what state an employees hair will be in when planning meetings.
Even when not dealing with clients, the Big Hair styles can have a negative impact on the way you are perceived. When it is obvious that you spend a great deal of time on your hair each day, any time that you might be late for work (yet still appear groomed normally) gives the idea that you simply didnt manage your time wisely.
And the style that doesnt get done daily can have an effect on how your coworkers feel about working with you. How comfortable would you be in working closely with someone whose appearance declines day by day?
{First Hand Account: I used to work in a small shop where the manager was an older woman who followed the traditions of her generation and went to her beauty shop once each week to have her hair done. She wore a beehive style that featured a Lucille Ball red rinse. She looked wonderful each Wednesday after her appointment, but on the Monday and Tuesday before her beauty shop day, she looked completely unkempt. Customers would comment on the appearance and actually tried to time their visits until after she had gone for the day on the days when she looked her worst.}

Census 2011: Number of Welsh speakers falling
The number of people who speak Welsh has fallen in the past 10 years, according to the 2011 census.
Figures also suggest Welsh is now a minority language in two heartlands, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion.
It has been thought that migration trends and education might lead to an increase in speakers in less traditional Welsh-speaking areas.
But the census suggests otherwise, with just two areas, Monmouthshire and Cardiff, seeing a percentage increase.
Only in Gwynedd and Anglesey do over half the population now speak Welsh.
- 19% of the Welsh population aged over three said they were able to speak the language
- Able to speak Welsh: 562,016 Not able to speak Welsh: 2,393,825
- Gwynedd has the highest percentage of residents aged three or over who said they can speak, read and write in Welsh (65,900 people, 56%)
- In Carmarthenshire, 43.9% of the population aged over three said they could speak Welsh in 2011, down from 50.3% in 2001 and 54.9% in 1991
- In Ceredigion it was 47.3% in 2011, down from 52% in 2001
- 11.1% of the population of Cardiff said they could speak Welsh in 2011, a 0.1% increase
- Monmouthshire also reported a slight increase in the number of Welsh speakers at 9.9% - up from 9.3% in 2001
- Blaenau Gwent reported the lowest percentage of people who could speak Welsh at 7.8%.
- Source: Census 2011/ONS
- Census 2011: Key Welsh data
The Welsh government said it took some comfort from the fact there were considerable increases in younger children who spoke Welsh.
This is seen as a sign that efforts to promote the language amongst young families were paying off.
The number of Welsh speakers overall has fallen from 582,000 in 2001 to 562,000 last year, despite an increase in the size of the population. This represents a two percentage point drop - from 21% to 19% - in the proportion of Welsh speakers.
The percentage of the population with no Welsh language skills also increased from 2001 to 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data.
Speaking before the results were released, First Minister Carwyn Jones said he expected figures to show a smaller proportion of Welsh speakers in the traditional stronghold communities of the language, but with more people speaking Welsh in other parts of Wales.
However, the data suggests Cardiff and Monmouthshire are the only local authority areas to have registered a percentage increase in the proportion of Welsh speakers.
But in Cardiff there was only a slight rise, from 11% to 11.1%, and Monmouthshire reported a slightly larger increase in at 9.9%, up from 9.3%.
There are differences within age groups, with increases in the number of Welsh speakers among younger children aged three to four, a slight increase for adults 20 to 44, and decreases for other age groups.
The census is the gold standard for measuring where the Welsh language is. These figures have been collected for nearly 200 years.
If we look back in history, if we go back to the late 19th Century when the majority of people in Wales spoke Welsh, a huge percentage couldn't speak English; you then have over three-quarters of a century a catastrophic decline.
The last big fall was between 1961 and 1971 when it fell by 26% to 19.8%. Since then, the language has stabilised. In fact in the last Census in 2001, those who spoke it rose a tiny fraction.
Today's drop then will come as a disappointment to the Welsh government and language activists.
Welsh has dropped into minority status in Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire for the first time and there were big drops in the traditional northern heartlands of Gwynedd and Anglesey as well.
Most of the fall in those areas can be explained by inward-migration by non-Welsh speakers. Overall 26% of the population of Wales were born outside its borders - second only to Luxembourg in European terms. The overwhelming majority on in-migrants came from England.
In spite of the decline in the number of Welsh speakers the feeling of Welsh national identity appears to be growing with 66% of the population ticking the Welsh tick-box.
Unsurprisingly perhaps the places with the strongest sense of Welsh identity were the south Wales valleys where the vast majority of the population was born in Wales.
Gwynedd had the highest percentage of residents aged three and over who said they could speak, read and write in Welsh, at 56%.
It has also been suggested that parents have previously over-estimated the ability of their children to speak to Welsh.
This is because the numbers of younger adults who said they spoke the language had fallen in comparison with figures from 2001, even though many of them may have attended Welsh-speaking schools.
Pete Stokes, from ONS, said: "It could be over-estimating by parents. It could also be outward migration from Wales as people who are well-qualified are more likely to leave Wales.
"It could be that people when they leave education don't use Welsh in their day-to-day lives."
Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws said the findings came as a shock.
"Perhaps there has been a danger for everyone to be lulled into a false sense of security 10 years ago, believing everything would be alright, and that the growth in some areas would make up for the decrease in other areas," she said.
"If that was the case for the past 10 years, the alarm clock has rung very loudly this morning, and there are very definite challenges to be faced here, and urgently."
Earlier, First Minister Carwyn Jones said the next challenge for the Welsh language was to ensure young people spoke it outside the classroom.
Mr Jones said his own children speak English to each other, despite going to a Welsh-language school.
"Cracking that is going to be crucial to the future of the language over the next 10 years," he said.
Other politicians said action was needed to stem the decline in the language.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood AM said: "Today's figures are disappointing and I'm sure citizens across Wales will be concerned about the decline in the number of Welsh speakers across the country.
"These are very clear warning signs for the future of the language and there must be a decisive response."
Tory language spokesperson Suzy Davies said: "There is a generation of young people who have studied Welsh to the age of 16 at school, yet they still don't see themselves as Welsh speakers.
"How much of that is down to a slow shift in how we see ourselves? How much is down to low priority that the language has in some English-medium schools, despite being a compulsory part of the curriculum?"
Robin Farrar, chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) said the language faced a crisis.
"This news reflects very badly on the Welsh government who set a target of increasing the number of Welsh speakers by 5% over the decade. Over the last 10 years, they have failed to support the Welsh language in the way they should.
"The fall in all the counties in the west is a matter of great concern. The people of Wales are very supportive of our unique language, but the government isn't matching their ambition."
Welsh education minister Leighton Andrews said: "The Welsh language and Welsh language communities face challenges and the issue now is not to blame people but decide how to work together to ensure a sustainable future for the language."
He said he would be open to new ideas and had a strategy, launched in March, which included encouraging the use of Welsh in social media.
A Welsh government spokesman added that the strategy recognised the "fragile state of the language" and looked to promote its use across all walks of life.
Other data from the census showed:
- Nearly two-thirds (66% or two million) of residents gave their national identity as Welsh;
- Wales has the highest percentage of people stating they have no religion (32%) - the first time this question has been asked. The proportion of people in Wales who said they were Christians has decreased 14% since 2001 to 1.76 million (58%);
- Wales had a higher proportion of residents reporting that their day-to-day activities were limited a little or a lot by a long-term health problem or disability (23%) than any English region.
- The number of cars and vans available to households in Wales increased 20% between 2001 and 2011, from 1.3 to 1.6m.
- The number of married couple households fell more in Wales (by five percentage points) than in England, particularly in Blaenau Gwent and Newport (down by seven percentage points)

Rumblings: Bud Chiles to Exit Governor's Race
Categories: Politicks
via walkwithbud.com |
The rumors come from The Buzz, who say that Chiles has been calling up supporters through out the state informing them of the decision. His announcement is timed so that his name will not appear on any ballots.
Chiles didn't want to play the roll of spoiler, and considering the latest poll numbers had him only at 8 percent that's what his campaign was shaping up to be.
This is considerably good news for democratic nominee Alex Sink. Chiles was popular amongst some Democrats because he's the son of the last Democrat to hold the office of Governor.

Lelo, why you so good to me
Reviewed: 01 March 2014 by DavidB1986, a Gay Married Male
Lelo is a brand synonymous with good quality pleasure. From their high end sex toys to delicious massage oils with gold flakes - they really are the height of luxury!
Admittedly, this has been floating around my toy box since Christmas 2012, and for that, I am truly sorry. But I have recently seen the light, and made amends for this grievous injustice.
Upon lighting this massage candle, the room was filled with the calming scent of vanilla and cocoa - it almost smelled like freshly baked cookies - I was lying there in a state of absolute bliss - it was just so comforting and relaxing... which was perfect as this was burning during a slow and sensual massage section. After about 20 minutes, we blew out the candle, and had a nice little puddle of melted wax. Using a spatula from another massage candle we have, my husband slowly dropped a little bit of the warm wax onto my back. It was warm, but not too hot. It rubs into the skin very easily, and doesn't leave you feeling sticky or greasy, and like the Lelo massage oils, a little does indeed go a long way.
Afterwards, my skin felt smooth and silky, and according to my husband, smelt good enough to eat. Well that's a result, I think!
The candle is set into a thick black glass jar, with a metal lit and clear handle. It just looks high end and is packaged in a beautiful black box.
If you are looking for a luxurious gift for someone, you cannot go wrong with this - it certainly will put a smile on their face. Thank you Lelo, you've done it again!
- Pros
- Smells heavenly, luxurious looking, great texture oil, silky smooth skin afterwards!
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- The perfect luxury gift for that special someone.

Pure Luxury
Reviewed: 24 February 2014 by Scorpius12, a Straight Married Female
You can tell this is a luxury product from the minute you open LH's discreet packaging. It comes packed in bubble wrap and cellophane and comes in a beautiful black gift box which makes it absolutely perfect for a gift. On opening this candle the scent is absolutely divine. It is a really rich smooth vanilla and not at all sickly. I just couldn't stop smelling it and it made me feel very hungry lol.
The candle itself comes presented in a black glass holder with a metal lid. This is great to keep your massage candle dust free and also adds to the luxury look of this product.
When you light this candle - wait about 5 to 10 mins to let the wax melt out to the edges.
Whilst you are waiting for the oil to melt you can enjoy the gorgeous aroma of chocolate and vanilla in the room, which really does smell good enough to eat! (But don't lol.)
When the oil is ready, pour a small amount of oil either onto your hands or directly onto your partner's body to begin an indulgent massage.
The oil itself feels really luxurious but not at all sticky. A little goes a long way - and it leaves your skin feeling really soft and silky.
Overall this is a really classy and luxurious candle - well worth the price, and smells delicious.
- Pros
- Looks and smells gorgeous, lovely texture.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Really luxurious massage candle.

Heavenly product
Reviewed: 24 January 2014 by peacelilygirl, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
You will want to eat this. (Don't, though!)
Fantastic product from Lelo. It looks very classy and not out of place by the bed.
The design is beautiful and the lid stops dust getting into your massage oil.
Comes beautifully boxed, it made a lovely gift for my partner.
The wax takes its time to melt which is what you want from a candle, so bear this in mind if you want to use it immediately. Let it burn for a while and enjoy the smell. It makes my tummy rumble so don't massage on an empty stomach. ;)
Pour onto your lover's skin a little at a time and keep it warm and moving. Using in a cold room means the wax will cool faster so pop the heating on first and keep the windows closed.
This makes my partner's skin feel very soft and he smells like dessert. It's very moisturising and higher quality than any other massage candle I have used.
A little goes a long way, this candle is going to last a long time and any melted oil just rehardens in the holder if you don't need it all.
You can't compare the wax to the viscosity of oils, but no oil will smell or feel quite like this. It's so creamy and nourishing and doesn't feel greasy. This is a great romantic treat for those who love massages. Worth every penny, I can't wait to try the other scents.
- Pros
- The packaging, quality and the heavenly aroma.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A wonderful romantic treat!

Perfect for the bedside table
Reviewed: 06 July 2012 by YoungHavingFun, a Straight Engaged Female
I looked into these as I really wanted to try hot wax play with my partner, although I didn't wanna risk burning one another.
After a quick browse through my options, I chose the Lelo as it looked bigger than the cheaper options as well as very sophisticated - thus it looks fantastic on my bedside table!!
On opening I found it had a metal lid, as well as a little sponge disc over the actual candle to keep it all nice and dust free. I couldn't wait to try it out so I lit it as soon as I could. It did take about 15 minutes to produce enough oil to massage my partner's back. After the 15 minutes, I did as instructed and blew the candle out. I dipped my finger in first to make sure it was as it said, at a safe temperature, and it was! I scooped a little bit onto my fingers and applied it to my partner's back but then I tried to put it on and it got a little messy and ran down the side of the candle as there is no designated "spout" for pouring. Next time, I shall use a spoon or something similar but it would have been nice for this to be included!
The massage oil was not too sticky and it made my partner smell good enough to eat!
The smell was just like a usual vanilla candle and was lovely! I chose this one as I know my other half really likes the smell of vanilla and I thought the other flavours would have been too sweet smelling for him personally.
I'd say there was enough wax in the candle to last a good few months up to a year, depending on how often you used it! So it is well worth the money!
- Pros
- Smells lovely, looks very smart and posh, massage oil not too sticky.
- Cons
- The wait for it to melt, but that was just my impatience!
- Bottom line
- A great multitasking gift!

This candle is lovely, has a wonderful fragrance - choclately vanilla, and is that little bit kinky without having to be kept hidden in a locked case!
Looks very elegant and expensive on the side in the bedroom, almost too lovely to use!
Highly rated, I will be buying another when this one has gone.
Use it as a treat to perk yourselves up over the winter.

GTA 5 Release Date PS3
Kalvin Martinez / May 2nd, 2013 No Comments
GTA 5 release date PS3 is September 17, 2013. For anyone that has not been living in a cave for the last four months or actively avoids pre-order signs knows that the GTA 5 release date PS3 has changed. Originally Rockstar aimed for a spring 2013 GTA 5 release date PS3. However, at the beginning of the year, Rockstar pushed the game back to the disappointment of gamers everywhere. No game this year has been more hotly anticipated than GTA 5. Rockstar has been tight lipped about the game release controlled information slowly and targetedly since rumors began spreading about GTA 5's existence.
The GTA 5 release date PS3 delay by Rockstar threw a wrench in gamers' plans as many were excited to play through the game while waiting through a hot summah. For a perspective on what this delay will mean for GTA 5, read Ben Sheene's What does the GTA 5 Delay Signify? here. This week will see the third trailer for GTA 5 in the form of three character trailers about the games three protagonists: Franklin, Michael and Trevor. So fans will get a chance to learn more about the three characters they will take control of this September. While it is no real consolation for having to wait another five long months to play the game, it will shed some more information on the story and characters, which have always been the strongest aspect of Grand Theft Auto games. Until then check out some of the classic GTA games and prepare for the GTA 5 release date PS3 on Sep 17, 2012.

Opera Librettist (1857-1919)
Luigi Illica, a journalist and talented poet, was part of the scapigliatura (a Bohemian movement) in Milan. Perhaps as a result of his father's influence, he was also a solicitor of radical-republican orientation. Even as a child, he demonstrated a somewhat lively and rebellious temperament. He went to secondary school in Piacenza, but achieved poor results and the time he later spent in a college in Cremona did not prove to be a productive period either. At about the age of twenty he left his home town, Castell'Arquato, in the province of Piacenza, to join the navy. After serving for four years, during which time he took part in the Battle of Plevna against the Turks, he took up residence in Milan in 1879. There he initially found work with a literary newspaper run by his cousin Carlo Mascaretti and later became a reporter with the Corriere della Sera. Shortly afterwards, he moved to Bologna where ,with Luigi Lodi and Giuseppe Barbanti-Brodanoan, he founded Don Chisciotte, an extremely radical newspaper inspired by Giosuè Carducci. This newspaper was suspended after Illica and Lodi appeared before a court in Bologna as a result of their participation in anti-French demonstrations. In 1882, after he had returned to Milan, Illica began to publish his work (prose, sketches and satirical verse) under the pseudonym of Luigi della Scorziana. In the following years, he became successful as a playwright, even though he had actually made his debut at the Teatro Filodrammatico some years before (in 1875) in his home town with the one-act play Hassan. However, it was not until 1886 that his fame as a playwright really became established, reaching its zenith in 1891 with the staging of L'Eredità del felis. It was considered to be his masterpiece. From 1889, Luigi Illica worked both as a playwright and as an opera librettist. The latter occupation was new to him, but led to a very intense period of work, the successfulness of which peaked in 1891, when he began collaborating with Casa Ricordi. Over the following two decades, Illica wrote about thirty libretti for the best composers of the time, including Germania (1902) and Siberia (1903) for Giordano, Iris (1898) and Isabeau (1911) for Mascagni and La Bohème (1896), Tosca (1900), Madama Butterfly (1904) - with Giacosa - and Manon Lescaut (1891-1892) for Giacomo Puccini. The First World War revived his patriotic enthusiasm and in 1915, at the age of 58, he left for the front, enrolling in the army as a volunteer. The following year, however, a serious fall from a horse obliged him to return permanently to Colombarone, his property in the countryside neighbouring Castell'Arquato, where he died on December 16th, 1919.

They may snub the taxSubmitted by Guest421 (not verified) on Fri, 09/16/2011 - 6:11pm.
They may snub the tax payers, they may snub the media, and they may snub their own officers, but they will quickly learn that NC Training and Standards investigators have no sense of humor and can have their way with them all day long. And cannot be snubbed. Training and Standards has supreme power over law enforcement in the state-they grant every single law enforcement certification, and can taketh away every single law enforcement certification. And they don't use lube. There is 1 place in NC where officers can't carry guns--Training and Standards. They can at least carry through the door and to a lockbox at a Federal Courthouse. That's a testament to their power. Leland PD, this is not a joke. Grab your ankles. »

MEDFORD, ORE. — The man accused of falsely reporting assault by his estranged wife, and then setting her apartment on fire, will spend seven and a half years in prison.
In March, Medford Police were dispatched to the Rogue Regional Medical Center for claims of an assault. 47-year-old Louis Walls told police his estranged wife and another man assaulted him that morning.
Not long after, fire crews put out a fire at an apartment complex on Barnett in Medford. Medford Police later concluded the fire was set by Wells, and his claims of assault were false.
Wells will also spend three years on parole.

OK. Mock me all you want, but I'm telling you, history is repeating itself.
Cat: It's really strange isn't it, just sitting here, not dodging manhunts or the media or other beasts.
Vincent: Gabe.
Cat: I honestly think he tried to do the right thing, to make amends, he just couldn't.
Vincent: Well, I don't think any beast can, at least none that we've come up against. You know sooner or later, we all cross the line somehow.
Cat: You didn't and neither did Alistair.
Vincent: True, but that's because we both had someone who loved us very much. I'm serious, how else would you explain it? You know Catherine, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here right now. I'd just be like all the others.
Cat: What do I get out of it?
Vincent: One kick-ass boyfriend slash bodyguard. (both laugh) And you know, a destined love.
Cat: Oh that. I'll take it.
