Veteran Bedard, rookie Gibson set to clash
After 13-inning game Friday, Astros, Twins look for length from starters
After Friday's 13-inning marathon in which the Twins prevailed, 4-3, both Minnesota and Houston will be looking for their starters to go deep into Saturday's game at Target Field.
While Astros veteran left-hander Erik Bedard is striving to stay healthy and demonstrate his value, young Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson is hoping to prove the hype that surrounds him has legitimacy.
Bedard, 34, is set to make his first start since July 25, as his scheduled Wednesday outing was pushed back because of stiffness in his shoulder. The southpaw is hoping to be defined less by his 0-5 record in July and more by his 3.86 ERA in the month, during which he threw 6 1/3 no-hit innings against the Mariners on July 20.
Bedard (3-8, 4.28 ERA) came out of that start before giving up a hit in an effort to save his arm.
"I've had three shoulder surgeries, so I'm not going over 110," said Bedard, who threw 109 pitches and took the loss. "I'd rather pitch a couple more years than face another batter."
His opponent, Gibson, is on the opposite end of the experience spectrum. Minnesota's No. 4 prospect, Gibson (2-3, 6.21 ERA) made his Major League debut on June 29, and he is six starts into his Major League career. Most recently, the 25-year-old gave up seven hits and five runs across five innings in a loss at Seattle.
"He needs to locate the ball better," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We all know the arm's there, the breaking ball's there. He's got a good, hard power-sinker. Now it's about command.
"He's got to be able to control those innings where he gets a couple guys on and do a shut-down inning, rather than putting up a four-spot. Right now, it kind of overwhelms him and he starts trying too hard, overthrowing, and before you know it, he's got bases loaded. It's controlling the game and your emotions, and that's what happens with young pitchers."
Astros: Altuve could return to lineup Saturday
Second baseman Jose Altuve did not play on Friday. Though he worked out before the game and probably could have played, Altuve was held out for the second game in a row. Altuve, who is hitting .284 with four homers, 34 RBIs and 26 stolen bases, has a sore left quadriceps muscle.
"It's one of those things, you don't want this to linger the rest of the season, and you want to go ahead and get it taken care of," manager Bo Porter said. "[Head athletic trainer] Nate [Lucero] and I just leaned towards the side of getting it taken care of. He was able to get multiple days of rest, and once he gets back in the lineup, he can put it behind him."
Twins: Arcia suiting up for Minnesota again
In his first game since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, outfielder Oswaldo Arcia started in left and went 2-for-6 with three strikeouts. To help Arcia regain confidence and focus, the Twins optioned him to the Red Wings last month, where he hit .375 with four home runs and 13 RBIs in 13 games.
"[Rochester manager Gene Glynn] told me ... he's been swinging good, and he's made some real nice plays in the outfield," Gardenhire said. "He's playing a little more right field down there, but he's running the ball down good, and everything's going well."
Worth noting
• The Twins have a 12-9 all-time record against Houston. In Minnesota, the series is tied at five games apiece.
• Houston has gone 2-6 in its 10-game, 11-day road trip. The Twins had lost four in a row before Friday.

Gary WhitehurstCaliforniaHappy Wife Hair DryerThe product is excellent. My wife can dry her hair without effort in 20 minutes. The product was out of stock when I first placed my order. The follow up response was excellent. I was informed of an approximate ship date, and the product came 3 days ahead of the promised date. The customer service was the best I have experienced in many years. I highly recommend Folica to anyone who purchases on line.posted Mar 17, 2005Link to this post

DianeCaliforniaSalon Hair DryerThe order I placed was filled and received very quickly. I have used the portable hair dryer several times now and I am pleased with the results. This hair dryer is very effective and Ive had no problems with it. I would purchase additional items from this company in the future.posted Feb 8, 2005Link to this post
MichelleArcata, CAWould Not Recommend This ProductThis dryer took 6 hours to dry my hair completely. In my opinion, waiting 6 hours for your hair to dry is unacceptable.posted Jan 30, 2005Link to this post

Traci BrooksI'd Been LookingMy hair is really thick in certain areas of my head and it takes 2 days to dry witghout a hair dryer. I had to use a hand held blow dryer. This is much better for me now that I have rhumatoid arthritis. All I have to do is sit down and watch TV OR DO SOME PUZZLES while my hair is getting dried. Thanks for the relief.posted Dec 17, 2004Link to this post
TinaOhioSalon Hair DryerThe Salon Hair Dryer arrived in a very timely manner. I was most afraid that once my large rollers were in my hair that the bonnet wouldnt be large enough to fit over the rollers (extra large velcro rollers). There was ample room around my head with the rollers and it was very comfortable. I am very satisfied with this product and would buy again from Folica.posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post
AdrienneExcellent Performance, Gentle On HairIm very happy with this dryer. It dries my long, thick hair efficiently but gently. So many of the hood dryers on the market are 1400 watts or more and get as hot as a blow dryer, and potentially damaging hair. This 1200 watt hood dryer is the best choice for those who want to treat their hair gently during styling.I highly recommend this dryer.posted Dec 9, 2004Link to this post
B. PeraltaHot Tools Salon Hair DrierI ORDERRED THE SALON HAIR DRIER FOR MY WIFE. She is quite pleased with it, starting with the prompt delivery (she actually was counting on its arrival on the day she needed it !). It is similar to the one she had previously, with the welcome improvements of somewhat lighter weight and quieter fan.

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
Retail chains may find eBay a valuable ally in their common struggle against Amazon.
EBay was the first blockbuster e-commerce success story. And so I was surprised the other day to hear eBay Inc.'s CEO talking up the allure of bricks-and-mortar stores.
"A lot of people really like shopping," John Donahoe told me during an interview following his speech at the annual Imagine conference of Magento, the e-commerce software company now owned by eBay. "It's entertainment, a social experience. I don't believe in the demise of the store. There may be segments that go to stores less and less and less. But there are other shoppers who love going to stores."
Donahoe may have good reason to pull for the survival of stores, and for the retail chains that operate them. For those retail chains and eBay are being pushed into an unexpected alliance against their common enemy—today's blinding e-commerce star, Amazon.com Inc.
Signs of this alliance started showing up last year. In the fall, eBay created customized mobile apps for Macy's and Best Buy. In doing so, eBay leveraged the mobile commerce expertise it has acquired in the past three years as it's spent $3.5 billion buying up some 20 technology companies. While Wal-Mart had the expertise to create a similar mobile app itself, many retail chains don't have the in-house talent to do it. Many chains likely would be happy to accept the help of eBay, which has emerged as a leader in mobile commerce.
Donahoe gave another example in our chat the other day. He says eBay plans to work with retail chain Kate Spade New York to put large touchscreens on store walls of the apparel retailer, so that consumers who can't find a style, size or color in the store where they are can search for it online, using the wall-mounted screen as a kind of giant iPad. There are also large kiosks in Toys 'R' Us stores that offer the same online shopping opportunity. Both those chains are clients of GSI Commerce, one of the companies eBay has bought in its recent shopping spree.
Providing that kind of online and mobile expertise could help eBay solidify its relationships with those store-based retailers. EBay not only hopes they'll continue doing business with GSI—most of whose 180 clients are retail chains—but also that they will use eBay to sell more of their excess and out-of-season inventory. Donahoe and his colleagues have been touting eBay to those retailers and major consumer brands as the perfect way to dispose of excess inventory—and even in-season stock—and Donahoe says that's been successful. But a little goodwill can't hurt.
(The eBay marketplace is clearly on the upswing, whether it's because of big chains and brands providing eBay with more merchandise, or the many changes the company has made in recent years to the eBay.com site and its seller policies. After years of below-market growth, the value of merchandise sold on eBay's U.S. marketplace increased 16% in 2012, in line with e-commerce growth, and by 19% in the fourth quarter, ahead of total e-retail growth. Global marketplace growth was 16% in the fourth quarter, which is important as eBay generated 56% of its marketplace revenue outside the U.S in that quarter. And the company has big plans for its international marketplaces, starting with Russia, as my colleague Katie Deatsch will explain in a story in the May issue of Internet Retailer magazine.)
There's another big play afoot: PayPal, another eBay business unit, wants to grow from its roots as an online payment method to a way consumers pay everywhere, including at checkout counters in physical stores as well as on smartphones, tablets, TVs and any other web-enabled devices that may emerge.
To date, 23 national retailers have begun accepting PayPal in 18,000 U.S. stores. A consumer pays with a plastic card PayPal issues or by entering her phone number and PayPal password. That doesn't make shopping any easier for the consumer, and Donahoe recognizes that PayPal will be successful offline only if it solves problems for consumers and merchants.
He has some ideas about how PayPal can do that. He points to a test at some Jamba Juice locations in California where consumers can use a PayPal app to order a smoothie for pickup at a designated time, then walk right up and collect their drink, without waiting in line. NCR, a major provider of electronic payment registers for stores and restaurants, is now building in PayPal functionality that will allow a diner to pay his check without waiting for waiter to deliver it. "One of the big challenges for restaurants is knowing when to deliver the check," Donahoe says.
Another store-friendly feature of the PayPal app lets a shopper make a purchase at certain stores, and click that she wants to pick it up. When she walks in, screens on the store's registers pop up her picture, name and order, so that employees can greet her by name. "It's the kind of personalized service you used to get on Main Street, now enabled by technology," Donahoe says.
Letting customers skip lines, restaurants turn over tables more often and stores deliver friendlier service, all address pain points for merchants and consumers. And good execution of these features, all just being tested, could win PayPal adherents among both shoppers and retailers. Add in the ability to store coupons and loyalty account information in a PayPal account—much handier than carrying paper coupons or adding several fobs to a consumer's key ring—and eBay is making the case that PayPal is the ideal all-purpose payment mechanism for the future, whether consumers are paying in stores, online or via their mobile phones and tablets.
To sum up, eBay has three big revenue opportunities: building its core eBay marketplaces, extending PayPal into the physical world, and promoting the e-commerce technology it's bought. In all three cases, good relations with big retail chains will help eBay achieve its goals. And retail chains may welcome eBay's offer of expertise, especially in mobile technology.

Purple Dragon is an alcoholic beverage made by leaching the buds, leaves, or stems of the cannabis plant (purple sticky punch) in a high-proof clear alcohol. The THC dissolves into the alcohol resulting in a dark purple liquid.

A purple dragon is when you fuck a girl, and when your done with her, you wrap the condom around her neck until her face turns purple and at least one of her eyes falls out and then you skull fuck her through her eyesockets.
After Johny are done having sex with a girl he then wrapped the used condum around her neck until her face turned a shade of purple (blue is acceptable), and as soon as one of her eyes popped out, he skull banged her. Hence the purple dragon!

Our Infant Inserts are designed so that you can safely carry your newborn baby from day one. The Ergobaby Infant Insert was designed for use with babies from newborn to age 4-6 months. It is designed to provide head and neck support and to ensure your newborn is correctly seated while in the Ergobaby Carrier. Once your baby can hold her/his head up for long periods of time and is comfortable with her/his hips in a splayed position, the use of the Infant Insert is no longer necessary. The Infant Insert is designed to grow with your baby.
- The top rounded edge of the back and neck support padding can be folded outward to provide more padding and neck support for smaller infants.
- The bottom pillow in the Infant Insert can be removed from the Insert and placed inside the carrier, with your baby sitting on top of it. This is for small babies who have strong and consistent head and neck control but are either too short to bend at the knees when seated in the Carrier or would like to be seated higher in the Carrier.
- Use the back support cushion without the pillow for larger or taller babies who still need head and neck support.
All Ergobaby Infant Inserts can be used with any Ergobaby Carrier
