Cleveland author Paula McLain ready to take on Marie Curie
Blog Entry:
February 13, 2013 10:54 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
This one will be quick:
Cleveland author Paula McLain, whose 2011 novel
"The Paris Wife"
has sold 1.2 million copies, gets credit from
USA Today
for starting a
hot subgenre
of fiction.
Broadly speaking, the newspaper says, the books "center on a famous 20th-century man — and the sometimes forgotten woman at his side. Through the magic of fiction, novelists are creating a prism that illuminates history and love, bringing these women back to life."
Ms. McLain's hit novel "tells the story of the lovely and supportive Hadley Richardson, who met and married a young newspaperman from the Midwest,"
USA Today
notes. The husband's name: Ernest Hemingway.
While Hemingway "became a writer admired by millions, wife No. 1 was replaced by glossier, richer wife No. 2,"
USA Today
says. "Thus Hadley and her story disappeared — until McLain's novel found a large audience."
Several other books, the paper says, are looking to repeat the formula, including "The Aviator's Wife," about Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and "Call Me Zelda," about Zelda Fitzgerald.
Ms. McLain, 47, tells
USA Today
that her heroine and her novel stir up readers.
"My book in particular, it makes people angry," Ms. McLain says. "Nobody is neutral about Hemingway; either you love him or you hate him. He's the striver, he's the one with this enormous ego while she's this Victorian throwback, a St. Louis girl. Hadley worries about her weight, her haircut. She's just trying to hold onto her own self in this incredibly volatile situation."
The subject of her next novel: Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie and her husband, Pierre.
"It's a historical novel about their really, really complex relationship, emotionally and professionally," she says. "It's just that Pierre was never more famous. Marie was the one driving the cart."
University of Akron School of Law
rates a mention in
New York Times
about drastic changes being made in training new lawyers.
"Faced with profound and seemingly irreversible shifts, the legal profession is contemplating radical changes to its educational system, including cutting the curriculum, requiring far more on-the-ground training and licensing technicians who are not full lawyers," the newspaper reports.
The proposals "are a result of numerous factors, including a sharp drop in law school applications, the outsourcing of research over the Internet, a glut of underemployed and indebted law school graduates and a high percentage of the legal needs of Americans going unmet," according to
The Times
The newspaper notes that the University of Akron is among a few schools freezing tuition; Akron also essentially is ending its out-of-state surcharge.
Even as schools increase hands-on learning, "critics are increasingly saying that the legal academy cannot solve its own problems, partly because of the vested interests of tenured professors tied to an antiquated system,"
The Times
Coal-fired power generation
rose 8.9%
last month compared with January 2012 levels "on higher electricity demand and gas prices and less power generated from nuclear and renewable sources," Reuters reports, based on figures from energy data provider Genscape.
Overall power demand started 2013 out 3.2% higher compared with January last year, driven by very cold weather in the fourth week of January.
Nuclear power output dropped 2%, in part because of an unplanned, six-day outage at
FirstEnergy Corp.'s
Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Lake County, Genscape reports.
Looking to drop a few pounds? Consider moving west, or at least taking a long vacation there.
that Americans who live where the air is thinnest are less likely to be obese than those in low-lying areas, according to a new study.
"Based on data for more than 400,000 people in the United States, researchers found Americans living closest to sea level were four to five times more likely to be obese, compared to people who live well above sea level in Colorado," the news service reports. The study found that elevation can affect appetite hormones, growth and how many calories the body burns.
Cynthia Beall, an anthropology professor at
Case Western Reserve University
who researches how the body adapts to high altitudes but was not involved with the new study, tells Reuters that it's common for travelers to high elevations to burn more calories in their first few weeks.
"That person would probably lose some weight during the course of a three-week vacation … It would in fact be an interesting question whether that would sustain," she says.
"If you're a young, single person looking for a woman to date this Valentine's Day, move to Cleveland."
That's the
from TheStreet.com, based on the new "In the Mood for Love Index" compiled by real estate tracking site
TheStreet.com says Zillow, which estimates market values for almost every home in America, ranked the 150 largest U.S. cities for a range of singles-friendly factors. For opposite-sex partners, the company even looked at each locale's ratio of young single men to young single women.
Smaller cities such as Cleveland "actually outscored most big metro areas because Zillow considered affordability as a key factor in its study," according to the story.
is Zillow's analysis of Cleveland, which ranks in the 90th percentile for single young women as a percentage of all residents, and the 78th percentile for walkability and affordability.
If you've run out of potential mates here, other strong cities in which to find a single woman are Memphis; Irving, Texas; Glendale, Calif.; and Worcester, Mass.

About every 12-18 months, we have to purchase a new DVD player for our home workshop -- a very dirty and dusty environment. Purchasing this machine was a great decision. It arrived extremely fast and it works like a charm. (And you can't beat the price.) I've purchased a few "refurbished" items in the past but this one was unbelievably pristine. We are EXTREMELY satisfied with our purchase and when we destroy this one we'll be back for another.
The price nd the quality could not be matched. These two products worked Flawlessly and were the perfect replacement for my older 90's vintage DVD players. The compact size and ability to played all formats of DVD's made this the best choice. I highly recommnd this for those who are on the fence about "refurbished" electronics.
This is the second one I bought. I received the first one and was so pleased with the appearance, performance, and size of this, that I bough another one. Excellent product.
I am always skeptical when buying online but I have never been disappointed when purchasing here on ***. This unit is inexpensive and great for my daughter in college, when it arrived, I couldn't believe how nice it looked, the picture was fantastic. I have to buy another!
Everything worked great and I was happy with the quality. The price was wonderful!
Good value for the money, but the sreens pull up rather slowly and that can be inconvenient.
Have been very satisfied with the DVD player. Better than new because it was checked and double checked.
Very simply, this does what it says it does. Nothing special.
Seems to be ok, we do not use it daily or even weekly. But we have not had problems with it to date. Seems to be good and its very small...
From the very beginning the quality of the viewing was not good. I thought it was because I had purchased several inexpensive DVD's. The picture would freeze up or the color would get faded in sections. The problem continued to get worse and finally the unit just stopped working. Fortunately I bought the extended warranty so I was able to get a full refund. Would not be inclined to by refurbished items in the future based on this experience.
The items must arrive at our warehouse within 30 days of purchase. You must return items in their original condition to qualify for a full refund. We will issue a partial refund of up to 70 percent if returned items have been opened, used, or returned late. More details
Our standard shipping method is ground shipping. We also offer expedited shipping for most items. Your final shipping cost and estimated delivery timeframe will be available at checkout.

Natalie Roos's Top 5 nightlife spots for summer 2013
There's always something going on in Cape Town, but the city really comes into its own in summer. The energy and vibe are contagious and you can feel the excitement in the warm air. In winter I tend to hibernate but now that summer is here, it's time to haul out the dresses from the back of my closet and get out on the town. Anyone visiting Cape Town could easily be overwhelmed with the various options, so here are a couple my favourite spots to spend summer evenings.
SANParks Smitswinkel Bay Tented Camp
As you make your way from Cape Town to Cape Point, you pass through the quaint harbor village of Kalk Bay, winding along through the naval-themed Simon's Town and around the bend past Smitswinkel Bay. To your left, a jewel-coloured bay overlooked by a slope dotted with ramshackle houses takes your breath away. Just past this, on your right, lies the entrance to the SANParks Smitswinkel Bay Tented Camp.

Take to the skies to view the Mother City
There are many ways to see the Mother City. From the top of Table Mountain, from the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean or from the winding roads that weave across the city…but the very best way to marvel at the majesty of Cape Town must be from the sky!

Natalie Roos' Top 5: Places to make the most of summer in Cape Town
There is no denying that summer in Cape Town is pure magic. Long, long days, salty skin, tanned bodies and beachy hair…these are the things that a Cape Town summer is made of. Of course, not every day can be spent on the beach, so it's important to make the most of the extra hours summer brings with daily activities after work. I try to make a concerted effort to spend as many hours as possible outdoors during summer and these are a few spots where I'll be doing that.

What better way to celebrate our heritage than by introducing our #lovecapetown visitors to our braai culture?

Give yourself a full day, because you won't want to rush through this experience.

No and no.
Impress can compress exported documents to PDF based on size, dpi and quality. MS is not even near this.
MS Office won not because its "successful", but because it used hidden functionality in Windows, forced own changing document types that others were unable to work with and was very often prepackaged in OEM. They drove every other single solution out of the market since Windows 95; even Wordperfect is nearly dead - I know no one who uses it now.
Right now its down to LibreOffice, Softmaker and MSO. With MSO going Linux, even half-arsed, Softmaker is very probably dead; and only LO and MSO will compete.
LO is more advanced than MSO, because it uses classic interface, works perfectly on multitude of platforms, is FLOSS, and has wide support for document formats.
Since 2009 I use LibreOffice exclusively for everything and it works wonders. Also, nearly all Windows PC's I encounter have OOO or LO installed, so its used everywhere which means its feature complete.
They added useless shit like Firefox personas skin support, instead of porting it o GTK3, improving the file format support, or shipping some post-1995 templates for Impress.
Actually they are not using GTK except for theming their own toolkit (Firefox is implemented the same way).They added useless shit like Firefox personas skin support, instead of porting it o GTK3,
In case they would switch from VCL to GTK3 it would look like shit on Windows and OSX.
I have to use the Ribbon stuff as MSOffice-2010 is actually standard at the company I work for and to be honest actually dislike it a lot. Keeping in mind how few programs not created by Microsoft actually use Ribbons, I wonder wether it is really the big success microsoft wants us make to believe.No. The Ribbon interface was the best to happen to MSO in a good few releases.
So it probably all comes down to personal preferences.

Maybe I need to try the new 4.0.
In previous versions my only complaints were far too slow startup and the dep on Java.
For a good many of us, LibreOffice has eclipsed MS Office a long time ago. Microsoft Office is one of the most overrated applications ever, if not the most overpriced .While LibreOffice isn't yet up to par with Microsoft Office
Last edited by Rallos Zek; 02-07-2013 at 02:19 PM.
I have only used ribbon when I was writing my diploma exams, and while I admit it is not that bad it certainly is not easily discoverable. By the end of writing my Social30 written exam we were forced to help the examiner figure it out, even though we had never used it before, and he had.
Neither Libre Office, nor MS Office are up to part with LATEX anyway...

The fifth-year senior scores 12 of his points in a roaring start to the second half for the Huskies (17-14, 9-9 Pac-12). They now head to Las Vegas for Wednesday's first-round game of the Pac-12 tournament as the ninth seed and will play Utah.
Win or lose in Saturday's regular-season finale, the Huskies (16-14, 8-9 Pac-12) are locked into either an eight or a nine seed in the Pac-12 tournament. UW will play Wednesday at noon in the first round. And if it wins that it gets top-seeded Arizona in the quarterfinals Thursday at noon.
The senior sharpshooter scores 20 points but takes just 4 shots after halftime before fouling out. Washington (16-14, 8-9 Pac-12) hosts USC in the regular-season finale Saturday afternoon.
The Huskies may never again have a player of C.J. Wilcox's quality that not only wanted to stay all four years, he asked for an extra one. Five years later he's playing his final two home games as the second-leading scorer in UW history, bound for the NBA.
The Huskies host UCLA at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 6. The game will be televised on ESPN2 with Dave Pasch and Bill Walton on the call.
Nigel Williams-Goss scores 17 points with a career-high 12 rebounds, four assists and no turnovers. Andrew Andrews is also great again. And the Huskies (16-13, 8-8 Pac-12) gain more momentum for March. Two games remain in the regular season: Next week vs. UCLA and USC.
The Huskies (15-13, 7-8 Pac-12) host Washington State (9-18, 2-13) Friday at 7:30 p.m., then UCLA and USC next week, still with a chance to finish 10-8 in the league. That would enhance their credentials for the postseason. And, yes, they are aware of that.
The Huskies start a three-game homestand against the Cougars on Friday at 7:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks)
What road losing streak? The Huskies (15-13, 7-8 Pac-12) score almost at will inside and out to dismantle the host Beavers (14-12, 6-8), behind 23 points from C.J. Wilcox and 10 assists from Nigel Williams-Goss -- the most by a UW freshman in 20 years. Next: Friday at home against Washington State.
"Brandon had a vision," his Huskies coach, Lorenzo Romar, says of the 2006 All-American and Pac-10 player of the year who will be honored March 14 at the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. "Man, he's just a sharp guy."
The Huskies head to Corvallis to take on the Beavers at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

Physics addresses some of the deepest questions of how the universe works and explores nature beyond the bounds of human experience. Our staff conducts research from the longest length and time scales - e.g. the role of dark matter in the structure of the Universe and mimicking the Big Bang in heavy nuclear collisions - to the smallest length and time scales, e.g. the hunt for the Higgs boson and other aspects of elementary particle physics.
In between these extremes, understanding how the Sun and stars work, the physics and biophysics of nanoscale structures, quantum states of matter such as superconductivity and ultracold atom gases, and metamaterials (the physics of invisible cloaks) are all key to our research themes.
You can benefit directly from this research activity by joining us and being taught by internationally acknowledged experts at the frontiers of physics; and by taking part in the research itself in the final years of your degree.

This four-year accredited programme has a student satisfaction rating of 98%.
Astrophysics is the application of physics to understanding the Universe at large. Our Physics and Astrophysics programme is for those who are fascinated by astronomy, and are looking for an in-depth treatment that also gives a good grounding in physics, with a correspondingly wide range of employment opportunities after graduation. In addition to a wide variety of lecture courses, highlights of the programme include a special Astro-laboratory in Year 1, and group projects dealing with the nearby and distant Universe in Year 3. The University has a purpose-built Observatory, on the outskirts of the city, equipped with a grating spectrograph and cooled CCD detector. Students use this for their own projects, to study the properties of stars and galaxies.
In Year 1 you will take 40 credits of core physics modules covering relativity and classical mechanics, optics and waves, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermal physics. As physics is an experimental science, you take 20 credits of laboratory work, including the specialist astrolab which provides students with astronomical data from observatories around the world for computer analysis. You will also take the 10 credit Introduction to Astrophysics module.You will be taught the necessary mathematics for physicists in a 20 credit module. Transferable skills such as problem solving, oral and written presentation, and career development are covered in a 10 credit Communication Skills module. Finally you can take a 20 credit optional module outside physics.
In Year 2 you will take 50 credits of core physics modules developing the ideas from year 1 in greater depth, and introducing new topics such as nuclear and condensed matter physics. This material is supported by 20 credits of laboratory work, including an open-ended astrophysics project in semester 2. The relevant mathematics is developed in a 20 credit module, whilst transferable skills are further enhanced in a 10 credit Communication Skills module. Finally, you continue to develop your understanding of astrophysics by taking 20 credits on the structure and observation of the universe.
In Year 3 there are a wide range of physics options for you to choose from, of which you must take at least 20 credits in the astrophysics area. You will undertake a 20 credit group project working as a team with a group of staff to tackle topics such as detecting extrasolar planets, or observing the first generation of galaxies. You also take 20 credits of advanced laboratory, including the 10 credit observatory laboratory which uses the University's observatory. Finally there is a 10 credit synoptic module to synthesise your knowledge across the whole discipline.
50 credits of the final MSci year is given over to a major research project, where you'll work with an academic supervisor to tackle a problem of current research interest.Recent examples include studies of the dark halo of the Milky Way, the solar wind and the detection of gravitational waves. The remaining 70 credits are taken up by a wide range of advanced options which you can tailor to your interests.
Year in Computer Science Between your second and third year, you can choose to do a year's study in Computer Science, ideal if you expect your final career to involve a significant amount of computing.
Our School of Physics and Astronomy is one of the largest in the country, where internationally recognised research groups work on everything from the smallest fundamental particles through nanoscale physics to cosmology. Our excellence in research and teaching means that we can offer you a strong understanding of core physics, combined with many opportunities to pursue your own interests.

Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
How will I be taught? As a Birmingham student, you are joining the academic elite and have the privilege of learning from world-leading experts in the field of physics and astronomy. Throughout your studies, you'll be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, thriving on challenge and opportunities to think for yourself.
Personal tutor: The School has a comprehensive welfare system based around academic and personal tutors, and led by the Senior Tutor, who will see students at any time. Our tutors support you throughout your studies to help you in three important areas: supporting your academic progress, developing transferable skills and dealing with any welfare issues. You can also raise any issues related to your studies at the Staff Student Committee or, for the fastest response, the weekly meeting of Student Representatives.
Contact hours: In your first year, the course is delivered as lectures, small group workshops, laboratories, computer-based activities, enquiry-based learning and tutorials. Much of your learning will be carried out in small groups, including laboratory work, examples classes, and tutorials. There's a strong emphasis on project work throughout your degree, especially in your final year.
Laboratory-based work is an integral part of our Physics degree programme, vital to develop your experimental practical skills, and to reinforce concepts introduced in lectures or to explore a particular phenomenon. You will benefit from our recent £1 million investment into additional first-class physics-teaching laboratory facilities.
Lectures form the major source of information for most modules and are delivered in a variety of styles by enthusiastic staff, in our state-of-the-art lecture theatres.
Small group tutorials support your lectures in years one and two, consisting of groups of no more than four meeting once a week with an academic or researcher. By year three you'll be choosing from a wide range of options and specialisms, beyond the scope of a single tutor. Instead you can sign up for 'supervisions' - specialist tutorials given by a senior academic carrying out research into each specific area.
Project work allows you to take part in our leadingresearch activity across the full breadth of the subject - from astrophysics to quantum matter and particle physics - in every year of your degree. It's an unprecedented chance to gain easy access to world experts and cutting-edge equipment in all the major branches of the subject.
Examples classes focus on working through problems issued by the lecturer and are usually run by a lecturer with the help of one or more graduate students. They're a chance to check your learning and reflect on particular examples.
Web-based learning is an essential part of the programme, with all our modules linked to iVLE - a virtual learning environment that gives you access to lecture notes, additional learning units, self-tests and supplementary interactive information to support your learning.
Each module is assessed independently with most containing some components of continuous assessment. Typically, year one and two lecture modules contain 20% continuous assessment in the form of weekly problem sheets. Some modules are completely assessed by coursework. Assessment methods include end-of-year examinations in May and June, written assignments, oral and poster presentations, computer-based tests, and laboratory and project reports.
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and whether there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to your tutor who is based in Physics and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
Feedback is an essential part of learning and we use a wide range of methods, such as written feedback on your assessments, oral feedback during examples classes, workshop sessions, laboratories, and one-on-one discussions with your tutors. You'll receive prompt feedback on each assessment, highlighting the positives of your work as well as any areas that need more attention. You will also be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you need to resit an exam, we will ensure that you receive detailed feedback and support to enable you to learn for the future.
Feedback shows that 90%-95% of our students go on to work or study on graduation. Of those in employment, typically, around 90% gain graduate-level jobs and are earning salaries in the region of £18,000-£26,000 pa six months after graduation.
Preparing for your career is one of the first things you need to think about when you start university. As a Physics graduate, you have great potential to gain an intellectually stimulating, well-paid and high-powered job. You could pursue a career in research in an academic or industrial environment, or you could work in product development for a high-tech company. You could also apply your analytical and computational skills through scientific consultancy. This is just the beginning, with many other careers open to you, including teaching, patent law, and mathematical finance.
Studying physics at Birmingham is much more than attending lectures. As you progress through your degree, we place a great emphasis on teaching you transferable skills: mathematical, computational, problem solving, group working, management and presentational. They will all contribute to making you more attractive to potential employers.

This is the second bottle of She that I bought since I discovered it a few years ago in a newly opened cosmetics store. It's quite similar to White linen and it's great for asthmatics who cannot tolerate strong fragrances, I know because I am one. Great perfume for your money's worth.
Written by Tiki Goddess on May 20, 2014
Read Review details ►If you like Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden or Haiku by Avon,then you will probably like She by Revlon. Great for church or work. I even recommended it to a friend's pregnant wife who's very nauseous around anyone wearing strong scents.
Written by Frugalchick on February 01, 2014
Read Review details ►She by Revlon,for me it is an undiscovered gem. Because of my seasonal allergies,the fragrances that I wear sometimes clash with my medications and I thought I could never wear any ever again. But that all changed when the salesgirl introduced me to She,as she herself used it for a few years. She also told me that she suffers from bronchitis & this fragrance never bothered her. People often ask me what I'm wearing & they mistook it for Shi by Alfred Sung, but I told them it's from Revlon,the makers of Charlie, and they were surprised at this unknown scent. I also love the song "She" by Elvis Costello and whenever I use this fragrance,I always have that song in my head.
Written by London Pride on October 28, 2013
Read Review details ►I ordered this on a whim after reading the reviews. It reminds me of OLD SPICE and fresh cut flowers. Really, not a bad combo, if lighty sprayed. Yes I would order it again.
Written by Laura L. Fla on September 03, 2013
Read Review details ►Great fragrance. Can be used day or night and not offend anyone. Quite budget and allergy friendly too.

Ten Ton Hammer: It's fairly common knowledge that you're using the Project Offset engine to fuel the graphics behind your game. How did you make the decision to use that particular engine? Are you worried about the system requirements being too high for the common gamer to enjoy the title?
Kern: We love the graphics quality of the Offset engine, but we knew going into this project that no matter what engine we licensed, none of them were really set up to run an MMO. Offset is an extremely flexible engine and it's built to accommodate our changes and specific, unique needs. The fact that the Offset team was local was an added bonus; it's been very easy for us to work together.
We've actually ended up with a highly customized version of the Offset engine. For example, we've written our own terrain rendering system, editors, UI systems, networking layers, AI, etc. We've even reorganized the main render loop to be specific to our game, and implemented our own skinning system to allow us to draw large numbers of players on screen. We've also integrated Natural Motion's animation system, Morpheme, for our character animation, and Havok for our physics. It's not unlike what Valve ended up doing when they customized the Quake engine for the original Half-Life.
The end goal is to be smart about what graphics features you end up using, because you definitely want to be able to have lots of gamers be able to play your game. Look sharp, be playable.
Posted 02 November 2010 - 02:45
It's awesome indeed. You're welcome. And yeah, I definitely signed up. Thanks!Wow. This looks killer. Truly does.

Megadeth is going to start touring with Testement and Exodus, according to their myspace web site. They say "Stay tuned for more information next week on the rescheduling of the "American Carnage" tour dates as well." Finally we get some info on when the rescheduling is. I got an e-mail from ticketmaster saying the 1.27.10 show for El Paso, TX was postponed and new date to be announced. Looks like they might stand by their word and actually come here. We shall see. I STILL don't understand they would go to Europe first then the U.S.

Porcello looks to separate Tigers from division pack
Impressive Twins counter with Correia to open series in Minnesota
In his last start, Detroit's Rick Porcello showed he can reverse a trend against a team that gave him trouble last year. Friday, as the Tigers and Twins begin their weekend series at Target Field, Porcello will have to show he can do it against another club.
Facing the Angels a year to the day after a disastrous nine-run first inning against Los Angeles, Porcello earned the win on April 20. Against Minnesota last season, Porcello was 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA.
With just two games separating Detroit, the American League Central's first-place team, from last place, the three games in Minneapolis carry a little extra weight. This is especially true for the Twins, who are eager to prove they can hang around for more than just a month.
"In my opinion, it's really too early to tell how [the race] is going to go," Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson said. "Every time we're playing somebody in our division, it's going to be a tough game."
Detroit is coming off one of its longest homestands of the season, and Minnesota begins one of its longest on Friday. The Twins' improvement so far is mostly due to their success at the plate, which comes as something of a surprise to manager Ron Gardenhire.
"We've come out swinging, and in Spring Training we didn't hit much," Gardenhire said. "So we've been swinging better than I thought we would. Our starting pitching has been a little suspect, but we know they're pretty good and had a pretty good run the second time through. I like the way these guys go about their business."
The onus will be on righty Kevin Correia on Friday to try and improve upon the Twins' starting pitching. Correia allowed four earned runs on nine hits in six innings his last time out, though the defense was unimpressive behind him.
"We're a starting pitching staff that pitches to contact," Correia said. "We don't have a guy on this team that's going to strike out 200 guys in a season. We pride ourselves on making plays. We've done that in the past."
In six career starts against Detroit, Correia is 1-3 with a 2.75 ERA.
Tigers: Shift strategies begin to evolve
For every piece of strategy in baseball, there's a counteraction to try to address it. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, who brought the increased use of infield shifts to Detroit, expects the same to happen to shifting.
In fact, he has talked with his left-handed-hitting catcher, Alex Avila, about doing just that to the shifts he has encountered.
"I think it's happening so often, there's going to be a little bit of a bounceback where players start bunting and getting on base," Ausmus said. "Then you're going to see shifts more based on counts or the score. We've talked about it with Alex."
Avila said the same earlier in the week, and he squared around to bunt against the White Sox infield shift in an at-bat Wednesday.
Twins: Colabello an RBI machine in April
Chris Colabello has driven in 26 runs entering Friday, which ranks second in the Majors behind Miami's Giancarlo Stanton. Colabello is one of the biggest reasons the Twins are currently third in baseball in runs scored.
Colabello deflected praise when asked about his accomplishments, which include tying Kirby Puckett's club record for most RBIs in April.
"RBIs are a product of opportunity," Colabello said. "I'm thankful to the coaching staff for believing in me enough to put me in the middle of this order and for the guys in front of me being on base. My job is to knock in runs, and it just so happens I've had a few of them this month."
Worth noting
• The Tigers won the season series over the Twins in 2013, 11-8.
• Miguel Cabrera had his fourth multihit game of the season for Detroit on Thursday, while Bryan Holaday had the fourth multihit game of his career.
• Minnesota claimed outfielder Kenny Wilson off waivers from Toronto on Thursday. He'll report to Double-A New Britain.

LEGAL GUEST BLOG -- CHARLES SCHAEFER Dress up your bottom line to beef up your asking priceBy CHARLES SCHAEFER, ESQ. 4:30 am, October 4, 2012
The economy definitely made its mark on business mergers and acquisitions. It started in 2006 and 2007, which will likely go down in the history books as some of the busiest times for mergers and sales of businesses of all sizes. After the 2008-2009 crash, activity steadily picked up with some signs of slowing in 2012. It is more expensive to need to make corrections under the buyer's pressure to close than to perform the fix-up details before there is a proposed transaction and before the other party knows you "must have" their cooperation in order to close the deal. Once preparations have been completed or are in the process of being handled, you can start "packaging" the business for sale. This includes putting important information in a formal booklet or offering memorandum along with appropriate historical and pro forma financial statements. Use the same effort and attention-to-detail as you use with your sales literature. Invest the time and energy to position your business in the best light possible and then wait to reap the rewards.

An heirloom is a cultivar that was commonly grown during earlier periods in human history, but which is not used in modern large-scale agriculture. Many heirloom vegetables have kept their traits through open pollination.
One example is an heirloom tomato whose seeds have been saved for generations because of a tasty trait. While this is a delicious variety for the home garden, the seeds are not necessarily bought by commercial growers because it may be easily bruised in shipping.
Additional information including our Seed Glossary, Seed Pack Shipping, Quantity Discounts, and Limitation of Remedy can be found on our Seed Category page.

Norma, they taste completely different than anything cooked in the kitchen. Even when using the same exact dough. They taste very much like a 00 NP. It's gotta be the oven.
I love your pizzas Steve. Do you use the 7/11 tomato product?
Steve,Looking good. Maybe next week when it is supposed to be warmer I might swing by. I am anxious to taste your pies again.Norma
Norma, I wanted to invite you over tonight but Sue says the house is too messy for company. Sorry. I know you would have been happy just staying in the trailer. I have 9 neapolitan doughs leftover too. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to use them. I'm sure the window of opportunity is about to close on them.

And by enjoying I mean tastefully defecating into it, licking it, pucking in it and then into each other's mouths. The sickest viral video on the net, hands down!

Buchholz looks to sweep Rays, advance Sox to ALCS
Following day off, Cobb aims to extend Rays' season in Game 3
BOSTON -- The Red Sox swore they would keep their foot on the gas pedal following their 12-2 win vs. the Rays in Game 1 of the America League Division Series. Boston delivered with a 7-4 victory Saturday over Tampa Bay, pushing it to the brink of elimination and putting the Sox in an enviable position.
But the Rays, who will head home for the first time in two weeks, know how to handle this kind of thing. And as manager Joe Maddon put it, they're planning on a return trip to Fenway Park later this week.
"We just went through a week of backs against the wall, so it's not new to us," Maddon said of a Rays team that won three elimination games in three different cities before advancing to play Boston. "It's going to be difficult. There's no question it's going to be difficult ... but I don't think it's impossible by any means. We've been in this boat in the past and we've forced Game 5s in those situations, also. So Boston this time of the year is kind of lovely, and I'm looking forward to coming back in a few days."
But the Red Sox have history on their side, as teams that go up 2-0 have a 38-5 series record in Division Series play. They've certainly got the numbers, as well, scoring 19 runs the past two games and showing why they ended the regular season with baseball's best record.
"That's what Joe should say," Dustin Pedroia said of Maddon's vow to return. "He's a great manager. He has those guys believing. They've already played a couple of elimination games, and they've won. I'm not going to say anything bad about Joe. I respect the heck out of him, and so does our whole team. It's going to be tough to put them away. They've been through that before this year. We know that. So we're looking forward to playing Game 3."
Boston will send Clay Buchholz, who missed three months with a right bursa sac injury earlier this season, to the mound on Monday, when the right-hander will be working on nine days' rest. Buchholz has pitched extremely well against Tampa Bay, posting a 2.41 ERA, while the Red Sox -- who struggled in previous seasons at Tropicana Field -- were 6-3 there in 2013, with three series wins.
"That speaks for itself," Jonny Gomes said of the favorable position being up 2-0 affords the Red Sox. "I was over there [with the Rays], that can be a hostile environment. But we are playing these playoffs every single game like our backs are against the wall. A must-win throughout."
The Rays will counter with Alex Cobb, with the fate of their season hanging in the balance.
"You've got to respect these guys," Cobb said over the weekend. "If you don't respect them, you're not going to respect anybody. They're a tough, tough ballclub from top to bottom. They've got everything covered, it seems like. It's going to take everybody's 'A' game every night to try to take this series."
Cobb will need to bring his A-plus game, as the Boston native has struggled against his hometown team, going 2-2 with a 4.19 ERA in seven career starts. The Rays are just 2-5 in those games, and they lost all four of his starts against Boston this season.
Rays: Myers struggling
Wil Myers went 0-for-5 in Saturday's loss and got a sarcastic ovation from the crowd at Fenway Park after catching a routine fly ball in the fifth inning as the rookie continues to struggle in his first taste of the postseason.
"I'm certain that he is pressing a bit. I would not deny that, but we're trying to do everything we can to talk to him and help him through this moment," Maddon said of Myers, who made a key miscue in Game 1. "Like I said, I think he handled yesterday extremely well. Couldn't have been handled any better than he did. And I'm really proud of him for the way he did handle that moment. I was just hoping that he had bowed and tipped his hat when he caught that fly ball. I was really hoping that he would have, but he did not.
"So he's a young man. He's a future All-Star. He's going to put up huge numbers in the future. When you go through a tough moment like this, you don't abandon people; you try to support them. And you try to give your best advice possible, which is what we're doing. There's still three more games left in the series to do a lot of damage. So we'll see how it all plays out."
Red Sox: Papi's yard work
David Ortiz turned in the first multihomer night in his postseason career, collecting a pair of solo shots off Rays ace David Price to extend his Red Sox club record to 14 playoff homers.
"As long as we win, it means a lot," said Ortiz, who went deep in the first and eighth innings. "It's not happening every day, but to happen in this location is good."
Ortiz's two homers are tied for the most in baseball history by a designated hitter in a single postseason game, matching Frank Thomas (Game 1, 2006 ALCS), Jason Giambi (Game 7, 2003 ALCS) and Edgar Martinez (Game 4, 1995 ALDS.)
Worth noting
• The Red Sox ran their mark of consecutive steals to 42 with Jacoby Ellsbury's first-inning swipe Saturday, a stretch that dates back to Aug. 9.
• Boston has won the first two games of a postseason series eight times and has gone on to win that series in seven of those.
• Koji Uehara earned his first career postseason save with a perfect ninth inning on Saturday. He threw 11 pitches in the frame, all for strikes.
• Price allowed more than four runs to the Red Sox for the first time in his career, regular season and postseason, a stretch of 20 games.
• Ben Zobrist's nine-game postseason hitting streak ended Saturday. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.
