Sale aims to put woes vs. Indians in past
Lefty went winless against Tribe in '13; Carrasco starts for Cleveland
Even after the 2013 season came to a close, Chris Sale could not escape the Indians.
The White Sox ace finished 0-4 with an 8.61 ERA over 23 innings against Cleveland last year, including six home runs and 34 hits allowed. It was a forgettable head-to-head run in an otherwise Cy Young-caliber effort.
Sale took to the golf course during the offseason at Worthington Country Club in Bonita Springs, Fla., where he is a member, to find a little relaxation. The only problem was that Don Tracy, the head pro, is a Cleveland fan.
"It's a funny story," Sale said. "He was a fan before there were any fans.
"So going to play golf this offseason was bittersweet. I knew I was going to have a great time and play on a great course. But I also knew I was going to hear about it."
Those Sale individual struggles served as a microcosm for the disaster that was the White Sox 2-17 record against the Indians. But maybe 2014 will bring about different results for Sale, who pitches Friday night.
A 14-game White Sox losing streak against the Indians came to an end Thursday night by virtue of a 7-3 victory behind John Danks and two homers from Jose Abreu. It was Danks' first career home win against the Indians.
There's no sense of vindication for the White Sox, other than evening their record after 10 games.
"I don't think just because you want revenge or anything like that you're necessarily now going to win the game. I mean we were actually trying last year," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "So you continue to focus on what we're doing right now and the things that are good instead of thinking about things last year.
"And I think a lot of it is just the feeling is different so far offensively for us that we didn't have last year. There is definitely a different vibe in being able to score and come back if you get down that wasn't necessarily there last year."
The Indians will send Carlos Carrasco to the mound in the second game of this four-game set and hope to get continued offensive production from Asdrubal Cabrera. After a slow start, the shortstop has four hits in his last eight at-bats, which includes a homer and double Thursday against Danks.
"I think hitting leadoff can sometimes be good for him, but when he's not hitting it's a little glaring when you're in the leadoff," said Cleveland manager Terry Francona of Cabrera. "So you try to balance it.
"When you start the season, like our first nine games have been so sporadic. We played two in one day twice -- that's half our schedule that's been played in about eight hours, and we've been doing a lot of sitting around. There's a lot of inconsistencies that happen at the beginning of the season."
White Sox: Jones' pain coming from his back
The pain that sent right-handed reliever Nate Jones to the disabled is not related to a glute strain, as the White Sox first thought.
"He had an MRI the other day and it revealed, it seems the source of his issue is in his lower back, which is a little different," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. "We had mostly mentioned the glute."
According to Hahn, the glute pain was probably radiating from the back issue. Jones had a left glue issue at the start of Spring Training, keeping him sidelined until March 8. He received an epidural and is feeling better, but has not started baseball activity.
"He feels much better, which is good," said Hahn of Jones, who was placed on the disabled list on April 4. "We're going to hopefully have a few more days of him continuing to feel better before we start including baseball activity in his rehab. He's quiet, but for right now, the arrow seems to be pointing up."
Indians: Francona encouraged by Bauer's start, organizational depth
The Indians may have lost the second game of their doubleheader to the Padres on Wednesday, but the start by prospect Trevor Bauer has Francona excited about the long-term potential of his starting staff.
"We didn't win that game, but organizationally that was a good day for us," Francona said. "All of a sudden you look down and you've got a 24-year-old that's throwing about 95 with a hook and a changeup. That's nice to know. And nobody's forgotten about Josh [Tomlin], so it makes your organization look a little deeper."
Bauer, who spent last season retooling his complex delivery at Triple-A Columbus, allowed one earned run in six innings of work while striking out eight and walking two against the Padres.
"We just told him it was exciting to watch him pitch and that the hope is that he can take that away, that was really impressive," Francona said. "I think it bodes well for the future. It's nice to see that, especially in a real game in a ballpark in a game that counts -- it was fun to watch that."
Bauer was sent back down to Columbus after his start. He was allowed on the roster as a 26th player because of the doubleheader.
Worth noting
• Friday marks a new U.S. Cellular Field promotion called K Zone For Sale, which takes place in Section 154. When Sale starts at home, fans with tickets in this section receive a free K-Zone T-shirt and K-card at the #SoxSocial Lounge. Tickets in that section are $20 for most of these Sale starts, with the exception of Family Sunday and the Crosstown Classic games with the Cubs.
"He's the man. He really is," said White Sox vice president and chief marketing officer Brooks Boyer of Sale. "He's a soft-spoken guy, a great guy, a little bit like [Paul] Konerko in that he doesn't want attention but his play dictates a lot of attention. I'm biased, but Chris is someone to come see pitch. He's worth the price of the ticket, he's that good."
• White Sox left-handed starting pitchers have made quality starts in all six of their starts this season.
• The White Sox Adam Eaton has a stretch of three straight multihit games. He is 6-for-12 over that span.
• Ryan Raburn is hitting .367 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 16 games against the White Sox since 2013.
• Cabrera has homered in four of the last seven games against the White Sox.

Review: Gibson's Finest 12-Year-Old Canadian Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on August 28, 2011
On November 15, 2009 I completed one of my very early Canadian Whisky Reviews. It was for the Gibson's Finest 12 Year Old Whisky. Recently, I was sent a new sample bottle by the brand's media company (Jesson + Company), and I have decided to revisit this Gibson's Whisky to provide a more rounded out review, and to see if perhaps the blend has undergone any noticeable changes since my earlier review.
In 2002, the Gibson's Finest brand was purchased by William Grant & Sons who acquired the brand to strengthen their position in the Canadian spirits marketplace. William Grant & Sons has moved the production of Gibson's Whisky from the Schenley plant in Valleyfield, Quebec to the Hiram Walker Distillery in Windsor, Ontario. It is this move from one distillery to another which causes me to believe the taste profile may have changed recently. I do not believe any change would have significantly altered the taste profile, but I admit I am curious:
Here is an excerpt from the new review:
Here is the full review:
Review: Gibson's Finest 12-Year-Old Whisky
As well as part of the review I have returned to a classic cocktail, the Old Fashioned Cocktail, which tastes just marvellous when made with Gibson's Finest.!
Please enjoy the review!

Yes, You Can Make Money in Prepress!
There are a number of new products and services available for printing companies today. Variable data services, list management, website design and support, social media management, PURL marketing campaigns, and other services are giving printers new revenue opportunities. But sadly, the learning curve is steep on the new services and printers need to make money today. To make money, printers only need to take an honest look at how they are pricing their prepress and desktop publishing services.Pricing procedures are still the biggest problem in most print shops. What are your desktop publishing/design sales? Are you making more in that department than you are paying in labor costs? If you just break even in that department, you need to either raise your prices or close it down and job out the work. I recently visited a shop where the total DTP sales looked good because all the plate charges were given to that department. Take away the plates and the company wasn't doing enough typesetting or design business to cover the prepress person's wages.
Define the Process
Are you doing design or prepress? Getting customer computer files to print is the job of a prepress technician, not a graphic designer. Since, in most shops, the prepress technician is the graphic designer, do you price work differently because the task requires different skills?
There is a difference between prepress work, typesetting, and design work. If the salespeople are able to identify the different classes of desktop publishing work, then applying a pricing procedure becomes easier.
Prepress work is that work that is required to get a job to print. It has a standard price or value. If a task should take one hour, you price it for one hour of work. Typical prepress prices are from $75 to $100 per hour. The minimum charge for prepress is 30 minutes. Not adding or charging for prepress is like not charging for the paper on a press run. Prepress is a function of most jobs, so you will have at least a 30 minute prepress charge on all jobs. Prepress functions are those functions that have to be done to get a final job. You have to retrieve a file, make a plate, impose a file, send a file to a digital machine, etc. You can assign a price to each step and charge accordingly.
Then there is typesetting. This is when you replicate a job. The customer gives you a sample of the original and you recreate it. What is required from the operator is typesetting skills. They have knowledge of page layout and illustration programs and can create a printable file. Some jobs are more complicated than others. The only design usually done is deciding on the typeface, type size, line length, and picking a piece of art from the electronic clip art file.
For prepress and typesetting, you can easily apply a price to the work because it can usually be done within a certain time. You know how long it takes to make a plate or fix a file. You know how long it should take to typeset the copy provided by the customer.
Are you charging enough for the tasks that take a particular amount of time to complete? This is where most printers lose their money. They don't charge enough for the task being done. They charge for 15 minutes of time when it takes 45 minutes. They forget a step that takes time and don't charge for it. Printers must be more realistic in estimating the time it takes to perform the prepress or typesetting tasks and price accordingly.
It quickly becomes obvious that there is a pricing problem if the desktop publishing department is billing less than the labor costs, particularly if the work consists mainly of prepress and typesetting functions.
Some printers say that one problem is they don't know how long it will take to get a customer's file ready for print. This can be solved by having standards for how customers should submit computer files for print. Customers who do not follow the standards should be charged to have the files repaired. If a printer must fix a file, then the charge should be no higher than the cost to typeset the file. It is often less expensive to reset the file rather than try to fix it.
Another issue is bad graphics. Sometimes it may be less expensive to print the file on a higher priced output device. For example, it might be more expensive to output a file to a digital color printer than to print it on an offset press, but the additional costs may be less than the cost to have the prepress department fix the file.
One technique that is used to price customer created files is to charge a 30-minute file handling fee. This gives the prepress person 30 minutes to get the file to print. If it cannot be output within 30 minutes, the job is stopped and the customer is told that the file failed to print. The customer is then given the option to either make the correction or let the printer fix the file for a certain price. How long it will take to fix the file is easily calculated since the prepress person already knows the problems.
Some printers object to this procedure because "they have already given a quote on the job." If the job was quoted based on ready-to-print, customer created computer files, then the customer hasn't completed their part of the agreement for that quoted price.
Printers who want to eat the charges should take a close look at the profit margins for the other production tasks. In many cases, the extra time used and not charged for by the prepress staff isn't recovered in the selling price for the rest of the job. That is how the prepress department becomes the "black hole" of printing. It sucks profits away not only by not covering the prepress costs, but by taking profits from printing and bindery functions.
Devine Design
Design work is more complicated and has more value. This is a job where the designer is creating something for the customer. He is designing a newsletter and giving it a professional look. He is designing a corporate identity (business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and logo). Here you add value with the creativity and experience of the designer.
If the customer asks why it costs so much, tell them you are creating original work for them. If they want a lower price, they can put something together and you can typeset it for them. They pick the typeface, size, stock logos, etc., and you put it together so it will print. If the designer is using his creativity, then you are adding value and you should charge for it.
Freelance designers, ad agencies, and independent desktop publishers charge for the value of their creative skills. Why don't printers? Designers charge for the time spent thinking about the job. They charge for research, meeting with the customers, telephone calls, and anything related to the job. Printers must approach design services in the same way and communicate to the customer that they are doing custom work with talent that the customer can't get anywhere else.
If printers can segment their prepress, typesetting, and design work into different categories, they will be easier to price, manage, and make profitable. A printer should know how long prepress and typesetting will take and what the market value is for those tasks. The only real opened ended work will be the design work, where price should be less of an issue since the printer is providing value through the creative experience of the design staff.
If printers added just a few dollars to every order that touches the desktop publishing department each day, they could make money in prepress.
What's Next After QR CODES?
You may have started noticing more and more QR codes popping up around you. Since we started talking about QR codes more than a year ago, the little squares are going mainstream. This trend is expected to continue as more people purchase smartphones with the ability to read the codes.
Now start watching for AR (Augmented Reality) codes that allow a viewer to see a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated sensory input such as sound or graphics. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one's current perception of reality.
If the AR code is viewed through a smartphone or a computer connected camera, the viewer sees something different. A business card becomes a three-dimensional object. A street can have an overlay of digital information over the scene that allows the user to find out more about what he is seeing. Characters and scenes can rise out of the pages of a children's story book and dance across the pages. The possibilities are endless. Hallmark had special AR cards available during the past holiday season.
If you want to see how they work, just visit Youtube.com. It has videos of hundreds of visual examples of AR code applications.
PagePath and Intuit Partner
PagePath Technologies, the maker of MyOrderDesk and web2print services, has partnered with Intuit and now offers QuickBooks invoice generation through MyOrderDesk. MyOrderDesk users can now automatically generate invoices using Intuit's small business accounting software without retyping.

Facts You Should Know
More than 50% of email recipients delete marketing messages within two seconds of opening them. Salted Services, a company whose product tests and measures email marketing campaigns, studied the behavior of 14 million email recipients using the company's Litmus Email Analytics product and found emails with targeted messages and subject lines improved these results, with as much as 77% of recipients spending 10 seconds or more reading their messages. The survey also found that mobile users spend longer reading messages than people using desktop computers.

Amazing cards, low price
Loved this stationary! Simple, elegant, great quality! Turned out exactly how it shows. Wish I had a little more room to write, but probably would have been too much writing anyways! Magnets were perfect, invitations were just as I expected (and the pearly paper I chose was a great choice), stickers were so cute! Rsvp cards were also great! Highly recommend this website!
Love It!!
It was so easy to personalize this invitation! The quality of the card is excellent. The printing and color on there is better than I expected. I am very pleased with the outcome! Can't wait to send out to everyone cause I know they will be pleased with the invitation! MagnetStreet is wonderful and will recommend them to others!
Great quality at reasonable price/ Quick turnaround
I was extremely impressed with the quality of our invites! I was a little nervous that they would be too casual, but they were not at all! They have a fun feel while still suggesting that it is a formal event.
They shipped the invitations very quickly--I had them within a week of ordering them!
I was also very pleased with the customer service we received. When I received my order, I was short about 70 envelopes. I called the customer service line on Tuesday night and had my envelopes (plus several extra for my convenience) on Thursday morning!

Obamacare's enrollment problems are worse than you thought
Blog Entry:
October 18, 2013 10:15 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
You've heard how the Obamacare
is having some problems? Turns out it's
worse than you think
"Insurers say the federal health care marketplace is generating flawed data that is straining their ability to handle even the trickle of enrollees who have gotten through so far, in a sign that technological problems extend further than the website traffic and software issues already identified,"
The Wall Street Journal
Emerging errors "include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations, say executives at more than a dozen health plans," according to the story.
Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Nebraska, for instance, had to hire temporary workers to contact new customers directly to resolve inaccuracies in submissions. Cleveland-based
Medical Mutual of Ohio
"said one customer had successfully signed up for three of its plans."
The Journal
says the flaws "could do lasting damage to the law if customers are deterred from signing up or mistakenly believe they have obtained coverage."
This and that
Looking to the future:
Rebecca O. Bagley, president and CEO of nonprofit economic development group
, is in well-credentialed company with her appointment to the manufacturing commission of the University of Virginia's
Howard P. Milstein Symposium
The Milstein Symposium was launched by the
Miller Center
, a nonpartisan affiliate of the University of Virginia that specializes in presidential scholarship, public policy and political history. In a news release, NorTech described the symposium as "a five-year initiative advancing innovative, action-oriented ideas to help rebuild the American Dream."
The Miller Center will convene three Milstein commissions each year. They will "bring together policymakers, government officials, business leaders, scholars, advocates, social entrepreneurs, media representatives and other stakeholders necessary to achieve broad support," according to NorTech.
Ms. Bagley will serve on a 12-member commission co-chaired by former U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Indiana, and former Gov. Haley Barbour, R-Mississippi.
Also on the commission are John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable and former governor of Michigan; and James Fallows, national correspondent for
The Atlantic
Wait for it:
some fallout from the government shutdown that you might not have expected.
"Economists at the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
warned that the shutdown could have an impact on the accuracy of the monthly consumer price index estimates until next May," Reuters reports.
"Since the CPI price collection relies upon field staff visiting shops, some of the October data will never be collected," says Randal Verbrugge, a senior research economist at the Cleveland Fed. "As a result, the November CPI release, which is based upon October data, will have a much bigger standard error due to the smaller sample."
Given that not all prices are collected every month, "the error will not be quickly reversed," the news service reports.
"In fact, these repercussions do not end until May of 2014," Mr. Verbrugge says. "However, year-over-year inflation estimates will continue to be quite reliable."
Longing for Cleveland:
An ESPN auto racing blogger
thinks IndyCar should revive a road race in Cleveland
John Oreovicz says his trip to a new IndyCar series event in Houston "made me reminisce about Cleveland, and Road America, and Michigan, and Phoenix, and a couple of other tracks that really ought to be on the modern Indy car schedule."
IndyCar is racing in Houston because "the money was there for it to do it," he writes. "Shell Oil is headquartered in Houston, and it wanted a race in its hometown. Voilà!"
But he adds, "I couldn't help but wish that Shell, or a similar company, would spend its sponsorship dollars at a more enjoyable venue for the participants and spectators. Like Road America. Or Portland. Or Cleveland."
It turns out Houston promoter Mike Lanigan "also owns the rights to stage an Indy car race in Cleveland," according to Mr. Oreovicz. "But while Lanigan can't find the sponsorship to revive the popular Cleveland race (it was run from 1982 to 2006), the money dropped into his lap for the reviled Houston."
Unlike the Houston course, "Cleveland is the rare example of a temporary track that really works," Mr. Oreovicz writes. "The unique Burke Lakefront Airport circuit creates exciting racing, and the entire track is visible from the grandstands, which is a rare treat in road racing. And only a small portion of the track is constrained by the walls and fences that are always a potential threat for drivers and cars."
Guess he's not a fan:
Salon.com runs an
amusing rant
from politics writer Alex Pareene, who wants to keep his favorite band, The Replacements, out of the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
"Honestly, no one born after 1950 should care about getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," he writes. It's a museum to a dead genre — not rock, but 'Rock and Roll' as defined by the sort of people who find the lyrics to 'American Pie' really meaningful. It's always had toxic racial politics, recognizing white artists who co-opted black music (often without credit or recompense) before it recognized the artists who originally created the music."
He's not done.
The museum "exults mediocrities like the Doors and thieves like Led Zeppelin," as Mr. Pereene sees it. "It's a perfect monument for an industry defined by suits getting rich off the work and creativity of artists, and for a generation that still thinks its style of dress and choice of loud music was a revolutionary act."
He concludes: "The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a very silly place run by very silly people. So, no, I don't care if the Replacements don't make it, and I also don't care if they do. The Hall wants to be what it is — the world's largest and most lavish tribute to Eric Clapton — and that's fine. Let the old men have their monument to how much cooler stuff was back then."
Have lunch plans?
Sorry, fans of Cincinnati chili. Ohio has the worst signature food in the country, according to
this ranking
from Deadspin.com.
"Each state (plus the District of Columbia) gets one, and only one, signature foodstuff," according to the story. "And we selected actual food preparations; no state gets credit merely for being the geographic location where a certain edible flora or fauna happens to grow or swim or graze."
The rankings are snarky and fun to read. The top three picks are Chicago-style deep-dish pizza (Illinois), shrimp and grits (South Carolina) and the Mission-style burrito (California).
You have to go all the way down to No. 51 for Ohio's entry, which begins this way:
For the mercifully unacquainted, "Cincinnati chili," the worst regional foodstuff in America or anywhere else, is a horrifying diarrhea sludge (most commonly encountered in the guise of the
brand) that Ohioans slop across plain spaghetti noodles and hot dogs as a way to make the rest of us feel grateful that our own shit-eating is (mostly) figurative. The only thing "chili" about it is the shiver that goes down your spine when you watch Ohio sports fans shoveling it into their maws on television and are forced to reckon with the cold reality that, for as desperately as you might cling to faltering notions of community and universality, ultimately your fellow human beings are as foreign and unknowable to you as the surface of Pluto, and you are alone and always have been and will die alone, a world unto yourself unmarked and unmapped and totally, hopelessly isolated.
Happy eating!

05.05.2012 /
Dutch rider Scott Deroue emerged the winner in a tremendous dash for the finish in Round 3 of the Red Bull Rookies Cup race on the Estoril circuit, Portugal in a typical multi rider, nail-biting finish in this competition for young riders.
Deroue, 16, came off best over Germany's Florian Alt in a seven-rider charge to the flag while third went to Karel Hanika of the Czeh Republic who denied Portugal's Ivo Lopes a podium in front of a big home crowd.
The opening laps saw Lopes, Hanika and Alt engage in a private battle for the lead but as soon as the following group of Deroue, 14 year old Britons Kyle Ryde and Bradley Ray and Spanish 14 year old Marcos Ramirez they started to close on the leading trio. Deroue then settled into the following group and waited his chance to make a move on the leaders. "Once we caught them I knew we could fight to the finish. I had the lead on the last lap but then Florian (Alt) came past. I had a pretty good line every lap through that last corner and just caught his slipstream perfectly."
Alt put on a great show throughout the race and while he continually swapped the lead with Hanika and Lopes he just couldn't break away and make it stick. "I did everything I could," he said. "I couldn't get away at the front, the others kept picking up my slipstream. All I could do on that last lap was get in front and try to make the last corners perfectly. I did and I thought I had it. Only to see Scotty come past at the line." Alt had to settle for second by just one tenth of a second.
Hanika was happy to be on the podium after being quick in the last two rounds in Jerez but also taking two spills. "It was a great race, a lot of fun. The bike was good and I had no real problems I just couldn't get in front on the run to the line, Scotty had the perfect slipstream," he said.
While Lopes was disappointed not to take the prize on Saturday he is still second in the points and trails Alt by just one point. He also has another opportunity to take the win when this highly competitive series takes to the Estoril circuit for a second race on Sunday.
Race 2 in Estoril is at 16.30 CET on Sunday and can be seen live on www.redbull.tv and on TV networks around the world.

Milwaukee � When they�re on, the Wolverines can hit from anywhere. But that�s not what makes them a dangerous Sweet 16 team again. It�s that they can hit from so many directions, in so many ways.
This was Michigan at its potent best, in synchronized motion, anyone capable of taking the big shot or making the big pass. If the Wolverines shoot like this, and Jordan Morgan keeps supplying this type of spectacular effort, look out.
Michigan turned Texas into a burnt-orange smoldering mess, 79-65, Saturday night, and the Longhorns had to leave a little dazed. They knew Nik Stauskas could shoot, but did they know he could pass like that? They knew Morgan was solid and determined, but did they know he could be so tough?
The Wolverines hit a school Tournament-record 14 3-pointers (on 28 attempts), but don�t simply chalk up a resounding victory to hot shooting. Texas� strength was supposed to be defense and Michigan turned it inside out, or outside in. Morgan posted his second straight double-double, 15 points and 10 rebounds, to nullify the Longhorns� inside strength, and Stauskas took whatever Texas offered, which was a lot.
The Wolverines came to Milwaukee looking for their offensive rhythm and found it nicely, just as the Tournament bracket is clearing. Michigan faces the winner of tonight�s battle between Tennessee and Mercer on Friday night in Indianapolis, thanks to Mercer�s win over Duke. If the Tournament is all about paths, the Wolverines look fully capable of picking the right path to the basket.
Robinson delivers
So much has centered around Stauskas� shooting, opponents actually have noticed, and adjusted. The key is, Stauskas has noticed and adjusted, and the result is a more-balanced offense. Stauskas scored 17 points and added a career-high eight assists, while Michigan committed only four turnovers. Morgan had 15 points and Glenn Robinson III and Caris LeVert each had 14, and five players hit at least two 3-pointers.
�As soon as I put my eyes on the basket or pretend like I�m going to raise up, a lot of people would start running at me,� Stauskas said. �That would leave other guys wide open. So I just tried to be aggressive, and if that�s me getting shots to the basket or shots from the other side, that�s great.�
At times, the Wolverines pretty much got whatever shot they wanted, as John Beilein�s group ran a clinic on Rick Barnes� defense. They�d turn down open 15-footers for open 22-footers, poking holes in the Longhorns� zone. When Texas finally decided to chase the cutters through the lane, Michigan adjusted again and pulled away.
When an 18-point lead was whittled to six with eight minutes left, the Wolverines didn�t buckle, and just chose another option. It was Robinson, and if you take a snippet from two games here, take this one. He shot-faked and drove for a tough basket over the big guys to push the lead to 60-52. On the next possession, he took a pass from Stauskas and drilled a 3-pointer, and it was over.
This is precisely what Michigan needs from Robinson, and precisely what he�s trying harder to deliver.
�I wanted the ball,� Robinson said. �They were keying in on Nik, and I hadn�t scored in a while. I figured they were kind of sleeping.�
It�s been suggested Robinson needs to awaken more often in games, but it�s not easy with shooters and passers all around him. Just as Stauskas was obscured last season by Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., players must find their spots.
�Instead of trying to get the ball to Nik for shots, we said, let Nik be the playmaker,� Beilein said. �He�s a very willing passer, which really makes him a special player.�
Morgan shows muscle
Stauskas has developed into one of the team�s best passers, another reason he was the Big Ten Player of the Year. When the offense works like it did Saturday night, it�s scintillating. And when it doesn�t work, because shooting can be fickle, the Wolverines are getting more and more from Morgan, who�s doing a fine job compensating for the loss of Mitch McGary.
Morgan took his matchup with 6-9, 285-pound Cameron Ridley personally, and turned it into a mismatch. The Longhorns did their standard damage on the boards, but Ridley was out of breath quickly and finished with six points and nine rebounds.
�I ain�t got a lot of body fat on me, a lot of weights lifted these last five years,� Morgan said with a smile. �I�m not about to just roll over. That�s the fun part, just showing everybody wrong.�
Before the game, Morgan wore a healthy scowl, and kept telling assistant coach Bacari Alexander he could handle the big fellas. He said it so often, the coaches believed him, and believe in him more now.
�Jordan is the type of guy that�s wired to try to rise to the occasion,� Alexander said. �And he did. I�d take him with me down a dark alley anytime.�
Michigan won this game in the alleys and the lanes, on the line and outside the lines. Beilein and his staff did a masterful job, and after his 700th career victory, Beilein was coaxed into leading the team in �the Victors,� an honor he actually wanted to bestow on Morgan.
There were several candidates on this night, and the strength of this team is its multiple offensive weapons. If the defensive issues continue to be shored up and the Wolverines make opponents pay for blanketing Stauskas, they�ll be difficult to beat. When you�re not known for hitting hard, it certainly helps to hit from a lot of different places.

DonnaTampa FLHairBlondeFine or Thin HairNew Formula Is Horrible...I've been using Shaper Plus for about 5 years; smells good, doesn't leave hair sticky, gave a nice soft, great hold - even our Florida humidity. Last can I purchased - TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I knew by the smell immediately and by the hold, HORRIBLE. I thought it was a fluke or a 'bad' batch. I was going to buy another at a different store just to see, but sprayed it first - and it was the same junk. Not sure why they changed it......I WANT THE OLD PRODUCT BACK. Now I have to start all over again, finding something that is equivalent. Some other company is going to get my money from now on.posted Sep 28, 2011Link to this post

You recently changed the formula again and I want to you to go back to what works. If this has something to do with man made global warming and 'going green' then just stop right there.

Donna B.Springdale, ARHairFine or Thin HairWarning On New "voc" Shaper PlusThe new regulated "VOC" Shaper Plus is like spraying just air! No hold at all! Please do not waste your hard-earned $$$$ on this hair spray. I have already written the company demanding my money back! Of course where you bought this inferior product isn't responsible for giving your money back, they didn't make and send this product, Proctor and Gamble is responsible! Let's all deman our money back from this multi-million dollar company, they knew this new "voc" hair spray was not good, yet they sent it out anyway, taking away faithful customers money! Let's just boycott all P&G products! Let's hit them in the pocketbook like they did their customers!!!posted Jun 4, 2011Link to this post
KaylaLove It!I really do love this hairspray. It holds...and never gets stiff or sticky. I don't know why people don't like this?! Because I love it! I use it when i'm pinning my hair back, straightening it, curling it, or whatever else! this is amazing! trust me!posted Jun 20, 2010Link to this post
JonnaNot Anymore!Shaper Plus - Not the product it used to be! Purchased multiple cans at semi-annual sale for a retailer. They were nice enough to let me exchange the 4 cans I bought for something much better. Does not hold at all anymore! Too bad they will lose many customers since they have changed their formula. Not smart business!!posted May 24, 2010Link to this post
JoanneNJHairspray AwesomeI love Shaper Plus.I have used it for over 20 years but I am now going to change brands because I am tired of the spray nozzle not working! This happens with great regularity and I have put up with it because of the awesome product. However, at the moment I have 2 cans with non-working sprays. Not good enough! I'm not wasting any more money on this.posted Mar 13, 2010Link to this post
AmyI Will Not Buy This Product Any MoreYour new formula is truly awful. It does nothing like the old formula. It does not hold. Living in humid Florida your old formula was the best. I'm switching to Kendra products. If I see someone in a store thinking about buying this product, I will tell them not to waste their money. BRING THE OLD FORMULA BACK....IT WORKS! THIS ONE DOES NOT!!!!posted Feb 21, 2010Link to this post
LenaSebastain Shaper Plus.Have used the above product for years,now they have changed the formula which is in a brown can,which is just plain rubbish,have tried a couple of the new formulas & it is just awful,how can we get the company to change back?.posted Jan 26, 2010Link to this post
KarenNothing Special AnymoreI remember when I could hold out a chunk of my hair, spray it with Shaper and it would stay there. No more. What have they done to it? I have to use half a can to get any kind of hold at all and even then, it doesn't last. Just bought four cans and wish now I hadn't. Can anyone recommend an alternative that actually works?posted Dec 6, 2009Link to this post
DaleVirginia Beach, Va., USANot Enough PressureMy wife has used Shaper Plus for years and loves it. It holds up great in windy conditions. However the last can I purchased for her in Oct has lost all it pressure and I am stuck with half a can of hair spray she can't use. What is disappointing is there's no site to log a complaint. The product is very good but I can't afford paying $14 for 5 oz of hairspray.posted Dec 3, 2009Link to this post
