Customer analytics brings your audience into view.
Customers expect you to know who they are and what they're interested in. In order to improve your performance, you have to know what content customers respond to, which channels they engage, and how to effectively target them. Customer analytics provides those insights.
While there's plenty of data — digital and offline — that can reveal who your customers really are, it takes an integrated analytics toolset like Adobe Analytics to pull all that data together. You can get a better view of your audiences, segments, and individual "listeners." Without insights from customer analytics, you're guessing at who your high-value customers are.

Customer analytics provide a lens into the customer journey.
What happens the first time someone opens an email, lands on your website, or views a display ad? What's the next step he or she takes? Analytics measure digital and offline experiences that customers have with your brand as they engage with you. This creates a customer journey profile that runs campaigns using foresight instead of hindsight.
Through brilliant data visualizations, journey analytics reveal a high-resolution, 360-degree view that uncovers opportunities where you can create more rewarding engagements with your most valued customers.
But the customer journey reveals more than where your customers go. It shows you who they are, when they consumed your story, and what ultimately drove them to purchase. Customer journey analytics help you determine why your customers interact with your brand, so you can drive better experiences and marketing decisions.
Connect the dots to reveal your audience.
As powerful as knowing what the customer journey is, having a clear view of who is taking that journey is even more crucial to making sure your brand story is awesome. Customers have an expectation to receive a consistent experience between online and offline interactions these days. They anticipate a seamless experience, no matter how they choose to engage with you.
You must connect the dots that make up your customer profiles. For many brands, stitching together online and offline data points is a daunting challenge. Adobe solutions not only bring data together but provide you with the analysis tools to discover and manage the customer journey.
Customer traits, such as geography, gender, and purchase history, are merged to define and even predict a customer's digital journey. This allows you to personalize offers in real time, maximizing your marketing success. While a campaign is running, you can quickly adjust using insights gained from customer analytics. To achieve broader success, the journeys of entire customer segments can be modeled using predictive rules.
Features such as Customer Attributes, for example, allow you to easily combine descriptive data found in your CRM — such as gender or loyalty program information — with online behavioral data to provide a clearer view of who is engaging with your story and how they are responding. The Adobe Analytics toolset puts the power of analytics in the hands of marketers, allowing you to push the play button on your analytics engine and instantly visualize the dots that reveal your audiences and their journeys.
One aspect of marketing is understanding whatdrives your best customers.
Discover and measure your high-value audiences.
It's important to understand what drives your best customers. Identifying the actions and characteristics of your high-value customer segments allows you to better retain these segments while also helping you find and attract new customers.
Through analytics, you get a clearer view of your entire customer ecosystem. With tools such as the Data Workbench, you can do deep analysis across all customer data in order to make informed decisions, and to target audiences that have provided value to your brand.
You can sharpen your audience view and get your brand story to really resonate with your customers. Audience clustering, for instance, gives you a next-level view in customer segmentation by intelligently categorizing individuals into distinct personas and then grouping those personas into audiences. Think of it as segmenting on steroids.
Correlation tables allow you to combine a multitude of metrics, data points, and dimensions to see which traits and behaviors comprise your most valued customers. Does tweeting activity correlate to more purchase events? You understand the connections, so you can engage with them at a deeper, more rewarding level. You can select from this deep pool of variables to refine your view and measure the impact of audience behaviors on buying activity.
Look at the future with predictive analytics.
Predictive analytics takes insights to a whole new level. In order to become a more mature marketing organization, your practices must not only react to behaviors but be able to predict future activities. Adobe Analytics puts powerful tools in your hands that allow your brand to mature.
Customers can instantly jump off their journey with your brand, so mistakes can be costly. You need to be able to anticipate what your customers want, so you can deliver the right experiences at precisely the right time. This is why it's important that advanced algorithms can now be used by marketers, not just data scientists.
Propensity scoring, for example, helps target the most likely audience interests, so you can build them into your story going forward. With a robust marketing analytics toolset, you no longer need to spend countless hours guessing at explanations to changes in your metrics, and you can focus on creating a better story.
Using decision trees, you can connect the dots in a tree-like graph, which makes potential relationships to particular outcomes visible to even the most nontechnical analyst. This information helps you influence how customers interact with your properties going forward.
Contribution analysis intelligently identifies the factors that cause changes in trend data or result in occasional anomalies. While doing the heavy lifting in the background, your analytics engine reveals anomalies that could otherwise lead to a misguided story for your audiences.
Integrate with other solutions to maximize decision-making.
To get more from your collaborative decision-making, you can share audiences across a wide range of marketing tools, such as those in Adobe Experience Cloud. You can connect third-party data sources with first-party data within Adobe Analytics, layering data upon data, bringing the vision of your customers into better focus.
Segment Builder in Analytics, for example, allows you to build and share audiences faster and with greater precision. You're able to easily drag and drop data points, events, and even other segments to create the perfect segment definition. Then, once you've defined your audiences and segments, they can be shared with the rest of the solutions in Experience Cloud. Easily deliver multiple campaigns at one time, leading to significant time savings.
Customer analytics play a role in your bigger story.
Analytics build the foundation for your overall marketing approach. Insights gained from following the customer journey can power decision-making and action. They can inform your marketing, sales, product development, and other stakeholder teams. As part of a broader analytics strategy that folds in your web analytics, mobile analytics, and marketing analytics, you can do even more with customer data.
Adobe Analytics does the heavy lifting, saving you from hours of traditional analysis. With meaningful visualizations, you can measure the impact of how you engage with your audiences. Without customer analytics, you're left wondering who is listening to you. But through informed decisions surfaced by customer analytics, you uncover the high-value audiences that will follow and share your story.
Adobe can help.
Adobe believes the next frontier is customer intelligence. In order to get there, you've got to rely on customer analytics tools that bring your audiences into view, and connect your customers to your brand story in a more meaningful, engaging way. Adobe Analytics drives that process, providing sharper audience insights and stronger individual relationships.

|Pleasantly Plaid 1861-1865
After two very full days...I developed a more sophisticated eye for the intricacies of 19th century garment construction and a slightly altered approach to choosing fabrics for ReproductionFabrics.
I always say if you are interested in Civil War Era quilts....Plaids, Plaids and more Plaids. All sizes (scale) are appropriate for both garments and quilting.
When new fabrics arrive (orders from Kansas City Quilt Market are arriving weekly now) we will assign a new designation for those especially appropriate for either garments....AYG (Apparel Yard Goods) or Home Dec..FYG (Furnishing Yard Goods). These fabrics while used for garments/bed skirts also were seen in quilts.
As I developed more Center Medallion Quilts for my 'hands on' workshop...I will be using Chintz Center Panels and squares of Furnishing Fabrics interchangeably.
This piece...Flora Bunda...is dated 1830-1860 but it looks very much like a fabric used in a mid 17th century Caraco jacket in one of my French fashion books. So we have a current reproduction of a mid 19th century reproduction of a 17th century block printed indiennes. Good job!

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells using MitoTracker® Green FM. Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).
Product Information
Each vial of MitoTracker® Green FM contains 50 µg lyophilized solid. To make a 1 mM stock solution, reconstitute the solid in 74.4 µl high quality DMSO. While the optimal staining concentration and incubation times can vary by application, typical results are obtained by diluting the stock solution directly into normal growth media at a concentration between 100-400 nM and incubating between 15-30 min at 37ºC. After incubation, the cells must be imaged live; DO NOT FIX!
To reduce background fluorescence of the media, phenol red free media can be substituted for normal media prior to imaging. BackDrop® Green Background Suppressor #12388 can also be added to reduce background fluorescence.
Store lyophilized solid at -20°C dessicated and protected from light. In lyophilized form, this reagent is stable for 12 months. Once reconstituted in DMSO, the solution should be stored at -20°C, protected from light, and must be used within 2 weeks. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
MitoTracker® Green FM is recommended for live cell imaging only; fixation with aldehydes or alcohols will inhibit staining. Excitation: 490 nm, Emission: 516 nm, Molecular Weight: 671.88 g/mol
MitoTracker® dyes are cell permeable probes that contain a mildly thiol-reactive chloromethyl moiety for mitochondrial labeling. To label mitochondria, cells are simply incubated with MitoTracker® probes, which passively diffuse across the plasma membrane and accumulate in active mitochondria.

text: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 New in the Literature: Classification Methods for Lumbar Impairments (J Man Manip Ther. 2010;18:197-204.) The majority of patients with lumbar impairments who are classified based on initial clinical presentation by manipulation and stabilization clinical prediction rules (CPRs) also are classified as derangements whose symptoms centralized, say authors of an article published in Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy. Manipulation and stabilization CPRs may not represent a mutually exclusive treatment subgroup, but may include patients who can be initially treated using a different classification method, they add. Eight physical therapists practicing in 8 diverse clinical settings classified patients typically referred to rehabilitation by McKenzie syndromes (McK) (eg, derangement, dysfunction, and posture, pain pattern classification (eg, centralization [CEN], not centralization [Non CEN], and not classified [NC]), manipulation CPR (positive, negative), and stabilization CPR (positive, negative). Prevalence rates were calculated for each classification category by McK, pain pattern classifications (PPCs), and manipulation and stabilization CPRs. Prevalence rates for McK and PPCs were calculated for each CPR category separately. Data from 628 adults (mean age: 52±17 years, 56% female) were analyzed. Prevalence rates were: McK-- derangement 67%, dysfunction 5%, posture 0%, other 28% PPC -- CEN 43%, Non CEN 39%, NC 18% manipulation CPR -- positive 13% stabilization CPR -- positive 7% For patients positive for manipulation CPR (n = 79), prevalence rates for derangement were 89% and CEN 68%. For patients positive for stabilization CPR (n = 41), prevalence rates for derangement were 83% and CEN 80%. Comments This is important information for all of us. If the patient can be instructed to self-treat not only are we decreasing the risk of injury, but we are allowing the patient to discover they can successfully manage their pain on their own and avoid debilitating recurrences! Posted by Kay Scanlon on 1/29/2012 7:35 AM Did anyone see the full-text of this article? I'm a little confused on what the conclusion would be. Is it suggesting that Mackenzie would be a superior way of classifying/treating these patients rather than manipulation/stabilization cpr's? Posted by Rachael on 1/29/2012 11:05 PM I've read this article about over a year ago and was confused as heck. However, after reading a portion of the McK book, I somewhat understand what is being said here. And yes, to my understanding, you are correct, they are suggesting that McK classification is better than the other ones...including McK treatment. McK is all about teaching the patient how to care for him/herself and so far, there is not any better treatment than it...research has not proven so. This article does a very poor job though, it is not clear at all and the data does not help... Posted by Jean Dornevil -> AOX`AN on 7/21/2014 8:24 AM

Franks, Stefanak Recommissioned as COPH Ambassadors, Give Back to Benefit Students
William J. Franks, BS '69, and Matthew A. Stefanak III, recently retired health commissioners from Stark and Mahoning counties, respectively, have donned the Kent State blue and gold to formally serve as ambassadors for the College of Public Health. They'll be evangelizing about public health careers at local high schools, community colleges and Kent State regional campuses to encourage interest and will meet with prospective students and their parents visiting the college. In addition, the ambassadors will spend regular time on the Kent campus, counseling students about job, internship and practicum opportunities.
"It's just outstanding that these individuals, who've served our community for many years, want to focus on building the next generation of public health leaders and work with Kent State to do so," says Ken Slenkovich, assistant dean, operations and community relations, who is coordinating the Ambassadors Program. "They approached us, wanting to give back to the public health community. How could we not embrace this terrific offer," he says.
"Our students are clamoring for contacts with public health professionals to give them guidance about finding jobs and to open doors for them," agrees Dr. Thomas Brewer, associate dean, undergraduate academic affairs. "Bill and Matt's commitment just demonstrates that people are in this profession because they really love it," he says.
Franks, a Kent State graduate with 41 years in the field, was "thrilled" that his alma mater was establishing a College of Public Health. He met with Dean Sonia Alemagno several years ago to discuss creation of the college, and the two talked about their mutual interest in matching up students with working public health professionals. The Ambassadors Program has its roots in that conversation, according to Franks. "Students completing their public health education at Kent State should know their options and have contacts, so that when they graduate, they have somewhere to look for a job and get a foot in the door," he says.
"I see us building an effective referral system through which students can be introduced to different aspects of public health, professionals in the field, internships, summer jobs, and volunteer experiences," envisions Franks. "Matt and I will be exploring what organizations in our area hire employees with a public health degree and that are willing to have students come for one-on-one experiences," Franks says.
Franks retired as health commissioner in 2012, and Stefanak stepped down last year as well. "My public health career isn't over, it's just taking a turn into practice-based research and higher education, and I expressed an interest to Ken and others in the college of having an academic home," Stefanak explains.
He views his ambassador role as a logical progression of an existing partnership with Kent State. "In the past, I've worked with faculty and staff to perform a community health assessment in the Mahoning Valley, in collaboration with hospital partners and local health departments in our region," Stefanak says. He also teamed up with John Hoornbeek, Ph.D., associate professor, Health Policy & Management, and his graduate students, to submit a grant to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to study changes in local health department financing. In addition, Stefanak presently is teaching a section of the undergraduate Capstone in Public Health course.
"Ken suggested that, given the college's growth trajectory, Kent State would welcome help from experienced health commissioners as ambassadors to promote public health as an academic concentration and profession," Stefanak recalls. He says that he looks forward to meeting with students to hear about their interests and academic and career plans and to offer his perspectives about the world of work and guidance to help realize their aspirations.
Franks agrees that getting to know students is the first priority. The pair recently spent time at Kent State's Career Services Center, gaining understanding about how they could be of assistance. "The center is starting to have a lot of public health students come in," says Franks. "They need resources, contacts and career advice," he says.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - John Grady recently handed Ashley Monroe a box filled with copies of her new album, "Like a Rose." He'd rushed out of the building and caught her in the parking lot. The arrival of the CDs was a milestone moment for the country singer-songwriter and her manager, the culmination of nearly a decade of work together.
To be honest, Grady was a little misty.
Not Monroe. She tossed the box in her car, put the vehicle in drive and headed right on down the road. Just like she's always done. Throw out any obstacle and Monroe will deal with it.
"I'm just now learning that there is a master plan," Monroe said. "Because there's been many times where I've looked up at the sky and thought, 'Really? What am I doing? What am I supposed to be doing?' But now I'm seeing all the good and the bad that I've lived and experienced just kind of come together. OK, all that was supposed to happen."
Need proof?
Witness the glowing reviews and warm reception she's received for "Like a Rose," co-produced by Vince Gill, a modern take on traditional country music.
She's a member of the country music supertrio Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert.
And what about that blingy engagement ring from Chicago White Sox pitcher John Danks?
Seems like everything's wrapped up with a nifty bow for Monroe at age 26. But track her story back to when she was 14 and you get a picture of just how far she's come.
Monroe lost her father to pancreatic cancer when she was 13, and for a while, her mother to grief. That's when she started writing songs.
"I thought, 'I've got to get this out,'" she said. "It was so heavy and so sad and everything had changed so drastically."
By 14, she was trying to pull her Knoxville, Tenn.-based family back together. She did so by taking a bold step.
"I said, 'We've got to start over. We can't be in this town. It's going to poison us. Everywhere we go people are going to be like, "Are you OK?" or judging us because we weren't making the healthiest of decisions, any of us,'" Monroe said.
"It was just grief. We were just saturated in grief. I said, 'We've got to move to Nashville. We've got to start over. We've got to get a new scene and I'll write every day and we'll make this work. We've got to make it work.'"
And for a while, it did. Only 15 when she started to haunt Music Row, she caught the attention of songwriter Brett James almost immediately and soon met Grady, who was then president of Sony Music Nashville. Grady guided her into her first record deal and in 2007, Monroe finished her first album, "Satisfied."
However, "Satisfied" was caught in the gravitational forces of a merger and was never released by the label. She put it on iTunes in 2009 and jokes that 500 people have bought it over the years.
Monroe returned to writing and worked with everyone who'd take her call. She didn't limit herself to country. She'd pop up all over town, writing with Gill or Lambert or Guy Clark. She recently teamed up with rock 'n' singer-guitarist Brendan Benson to write a song for the TV show "Nashville." And Jack White has pulled her in to work on projects with Ricky Skaggs and Wanda Jackson.
Monroe's got the duet "Bruises" with Pat Monahan of Train and is scheduled to tour with that band this summer — after she releases an album with Pistol Annies this spring. That group is the result of her networking abilities and her late-night inspiration to introduce Lambert to Angaleena Presley by phone, a moment of instant connection among three powerful songwriters and personalities.
"It's crazy," Monroe said. "The other day I wrote down everything and I was like, 'Wow, I've done a lot of things!' It's amazing. It blows my mind. But it also makes me happy because it's bringing all these things together."
Bits and pieces of those experiences can be heard on "Like a Rose," which veers from the deep sadness of the title track and "Two Weeks Late" and "Used" to the bawdiness delivered with a wink in "Weed Instead of Roses" and "You Ain't Dolly (and You Ain't Porter)," a back-and-forth duet with Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton, that closes the album.
Gill met Monroe not long after she came to town. She co-wrote a couple of songs on his Grammy-winning album "Guitar Slinger," and he co-wrote a few songs on "Like a Rose."
Why did he decide to work with her?
"Well, she writes songs like Guy Clark and sings like Dolly Parton, two pretty great reasons right there," Gill said with his mellow chuckle. "One would be enough, but to have both, I thought, 'Yeah this might be a great way to spend time.' You love being around the most gifted people if you get the opportunity, and I honestly believe she's of that brand, of that ilk, whatever is a good word, you know? Everything about her is undeniable."

People from around the world will celebrate Earth Hour this Saturday, March 29th beginning at 8:30 pm local time. Major landmarks and entire cities will go dark during this symbolic action that showcases how we, as global citizens, must take personal accountability for our daily impact on the health of the planet. By turning off the lights, switching off our electronics and turning away from our screens, we are highlighting the individual and collective actions we can make to produce real change – a change that can make a difference if we continue to commit to its ideals. What can you do at home or at work to participate in Earth Hour? Join for Earth Hour! Pledge to switch off your lights at home and show your support by registering your commitment. Share this time with family playing games by candlelight or discovering fun ways to reduce household energy on a regular basis. Go beyond the hour by supporting crowd funding or crowdsourcing environmental and social projects through Earth Hour Blue. Amplify the hour. Encourage friends and family to get involved by sharing the Earth Hour video so they get a better sense of the magnitude and inspiring nature of this event. Plan an Earth Hour Party! Block parties, candlelight vigils and candlelight dinners are just a few things you can do to celebrate as a community. Share the moment and consider, together, how you can reduce your footprint beyond the hour. How is the National Aquarium participating? From 8:30 pm-9:30 pm on Saturday, March 29th, the National Aquarium will go dark alongside hundreds of iconic landmarks and natural wonders ranging from the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramids, Niagara and Victoria Falls, and China's Forbidden City. We join over 7,000 cities and towns in 154 countries and territories with hundreds of millions of participants across seven continents in using our power to make change a reality. This one hour of darkness may result in a small reduction of energy consumption, but more importantly paints a powerful picture of behavioral change needed to combat climate change. Join us as we stand among hundreds of millions of people to call for action on climate change!

Choosing the Right Law School / Re: Duke V. NYU« on: June 05, 2007, 02:37:28 PM »
This decision clearly comes down to whether or not you're a fan of Duke basketball:
Fan -> NYU.
Hate -> Duke.
Reason being: with McRoberts gone + the general disarray of the team, Duke will be absolutely miserable. This will either be painful to watch or the greatest 3 years of your life.
I disagree. Duke recruited some of the best prospects in the nation. They recruited Kyle Singler (5th ranked player in the nation), Taylor King, and Nolan Smith (who led the point for Oak Hill, best basketball program in the nation). Plus, they still have Scheyer, Paulaus, Nelson, Henderson, and, of course, Coach K. They are actually due for a big turn around, considering last year's disappointment.
Also, McRoberts is a bum. He'll be drafted late 2nd round or not at all.
UNC lost Brendan Wright and UVA lost two of their best guards. So, the ACC shouldn't be as tough this year
NYU has a basketball team? I thought the Dean's Cup and the Knicks were the only source for bball entertainment. (same for Columbia)

A Multiple Stakeholder PerspectiveBeckmann, Suzanne C.; Zenker, Sebastian (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Cities increasingly brand themselves as an attractive place for tourists, investors, business and workforce. Yet, most place branding efforts do not take the diversity of their stakeholders and the variety of place perceptions into account. Our study, however, reveals significant discrepancies between internal and external stakeholders' mental representations of a place brand, using the city of Hamburg as an example. We therefore argue that place brand management needs to align its brand communication with stakeholders' interests, using an integrated approach to developing city-specific strategies for building target group-specific place brand architecture.

Drivers for influenceBeckmann, Suzanne C.; Jalving, Michala; Rohde Olsen, Sarah (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The role of marketing within companies and organisations has been discussed for a long time, as well as its opportunities for influence – not least in times of financial constraints and difficult economic contexts. Through in-depth interviews we investigated how nine Danish top executives see the marketing department's potential for influence within companies in general and in their specific organisations. The objective was to gain deep insight into the informants' experiences with marketing and its position within Danish companies and to relate this insight to the level of market orientation. We found strong similarities with other research into the antecedents of marketing's influence and established another key factor, namely employee competencies and thereby the responsibility of human resource management as well as a cultural moderator, namely creativity bias of marketing employees.

Stults' arm, bat leads Padres over D'Backs
Phoenix, AZ – Eric Stults did it all Friday, tossing seven scoreless innings and driving in three runs as the Padres downed the Diamondbacks, 5-0, in the opener of a three-game series.
Stults (4-2) scattered three hits and one walk and added a two-run single and an RBI double to carry San Diego to a fifth straight victory.
"He had command of all four pitches, changed speeds on his fastball, which he does, and had the Diamondbacks off balance," Padres manager Bud Black said of his starter.
Chris Denorfia hit a solo homer and added a sacrifice fly as part of a 13-hit attack against Patrick Corbin and the Arizona bullpen.
Corbin (5-5), who was 3-0 with a 2.77 ERA in four starts since his recall from the minor leagues on Aug. 1, surrendered four runs on nine hits over four innings to take the loss.
Arizona had just four hits two days after sweeping the Marlins in the first doubleheader in Chase Field history.
Stults, a career .238 hitter (15-for-63) coming in, stepped up with the bases loaded in the second inning and stroked a 1-1 fastball into center field to knock in Yasmani Grandal and Yonder Alonso, who both reached on singles and moved up on Everth Cabrera's two-out walk.
Denorfia led off the next inning with his fifth home run of the season, and Stults delivered again with two outs in the fourth, this time hammering a 1-2 pitch into the left-field gap to plate Cameron Maybin.
The Diamondbacks' best chance to score came in the fifth when their first two hitters singled, but Stults retired the next three, including an inning-ending strikeout of Chris Young.
Again Stults helped himself with the bat in the seventh, as his sacrifice bunt moved Cabrera to third following the shortstop's leadoff double. Denorfia's sac fly to right plated Cabrera.
"We know (Stults) can swing the bat pretty decently. He hit a couple of fastballs, but we have to do a better job than that," Diamondbacks head coach Kirk Gibson said. "It was a very poor game for us."
Nick Vincent picked up where Stults left off and tossed a scoreless eighth, and Tom Layne hurled a 1-2-3 ninth to complete the shutout.
Game Notes
Stults threw 63 of his 103 pitches for strikes ... The Padres have won five straight at Chase Field ... Arizona had held the Marlins scoreless in the final 16 innings of Thursday's doubleheader ... Arizona did not record an extra-base hit.

THE FUNNY THING... about California's castles is this: They're either quite remote, and it takes real effort to reach them, or they're smack in the middle of everything. (A second funny thing is how often travel shows visit the four or five most famous, maybe due in part to the fact that "California's castles" is just so dang alliterative and nice to say.) There may be a castle or two -- and by "castle" we mean grand house or exceptional manor with a lively history, not an actual place where royals live -- that could be defined as existing in some sort of "middle place." Like a location that is neither full of hubbub nor far, far off the beaten path. But, really, when you think about it, how many castles show in the suburbs? Our opinion: They should, like, with turrets and all, but they do not. They're in far-off locals, like Hearst Castle, which is in San Simeon, on a high up hill. Or they're smack in the middle of Hollywood or Disneyland, like the Magic Castle and Sleeping Beauty's Castle. But the remotest of all the Golden State's castle-called structures is deep in Death Valley.
NATIONAL PARK LANDMARK: We speak, of course, of Scotty's Castle. Found near the northeasterly reaches of the park, not to far from the Ubehebe Crater, the castle has quite the storied history. The house was built by Albert Johnson in the 1930s but is nicknamed for Walter Scott, who said he built it with a mining money. Tall tales swirl around the place, as they often do with California's castles, and a heck of a lot of charm, too. Why go? Well, castles get busy come the holidays -- Hearst Castle and Sleeping Beauty's Castle both decorate -- but we desire some peace and solitude. Think of Scotty's as providing both, at least for the hour or so you're there. Plus, Death Valley in late fall. Nope, there are no maple trees, only deep rifts casting cosmic shadows. Experience that at least once.

Health and fitness facilities in the spotlight.
* The Fieldhouse Family Sports and Wellness Center and the Kids Club (Zanesville, Ohio) has completed a four-month, $250,000 expansion and renovation. The investment paid for a new fitness center, a facility for infant care, renovations to the pool and gymnastics area, and a state-of-the-art material that keeps heat and sunlight reflecting off of the sports facility's 30,000-square-foot roof structure. This material increases natural lighting while decreasing electrical and heating costs.
* North Harbor Tower, a 600-unit apartment complex in Chicago, has chosen Tennis Corp. of America to manage its 7,000-square-foot inhouse fitness center.
* The Newtown Athletic Club (NAC), in Newtown, Pa., has completed NAC Youthplex, a 32,000-square-foot structure that will house the newly created NAC Athletic Association for sport leagues in the full-court gymnasium, a martial arts center, the Newtown Gymnastics Club, the NAC Dance Academy, Youth Fitness Program and more. Youthplex programs are open to the community (nonmembers welcome) for a registration fee, and are free to NAC family members. In honor of the opening of this new community facility, NAC donated $5 for every new membership in September and October to Big Brothers/Sisters of Bucks County.
* Club Fit has broken ground for a 25,000-square-foot expansion at its Briarcliff, N.Y., facility. The project includes a state-of-the-art aquatic center, additional lockers, a new activity center for children ages 6-13, a new nursery and play area for toddlers, an expanded cardio area, larger cycling and wellness studios, and more space for quiet activities such as yoga, prenatal exercise classes and Pilates-based activities.
* Clarksville Athletic Club, in Clarksville, Tenn., has converted its outdoor sand volleyball court into a 6,000-square-foot strength training center consisting of free weights and equipment for circuit training. The area Clarksville formerly used for circuit training will now house additional cardio equipment. NHC Rehabilitation - specialists in physical, occupational and speech therapy - will occupy the space that once contained the free weights. Clarksville has also added space for the Kids Club, an area designed especially for children ages 7-13.

Where might our journey take us?
Perhaps to Gouda or Gnomesville, onto the seabed, into outer space or even back in time. Here are suggestions for 20 places to visit in the next 20 years.
Solar eclipse
The next solar eclipse, when the moon grows big enough to cover the sun, takes place July 2. Practically impossible to see on land, your best chance of catching a glimpse is from the airport of the Argentinian capital (EZE): at exactly 17:44 hours local time, for nearly a minute the sun will be 99.7% covered before setting.
Going down
In about 20 years, bacteria will have polished off the wreck of the Titanic in the North Atlantic. For a last look, book a submarine trip with Blue Marble Private: 105 000 dollars will take you down 3803 meters to the seabed.
Going up
The new Jeddah Tower is a record-breaking one kilometer tall. From the highest observa-tion platform even the Red Sea looks like a pond.
In orbit
The Aurora Space Station is set to open 80 kilometers below the ISS as the first "hotel" orbiting 320 kilometers above the earth. For a cool 9.5 million dollars per person you can take unlimited photos of your hometown from above.
By Zeus
Around 170 BCE,
a gigantic altar, measuring
roughly 36 by 34 meters,
was built for the king
of the gods in the ancient
Greek city of Pergamon
(now Bergama in Turkey).
After a ten-year restoration program,
the Pergamon Museum in Berlin
is reopening its replica,
which features the
original marble friezes.
Hello, Mars
Elon Musk's dreams of Mars are now reality: Join the party at the Kennedy Space Center to wave goodbye to the first manned SpaceX rocket.
Heaven's door
All roads lead to Rome – but for absolution you'll have to wait outside the Holy Door of St Peter's until 2025. Pass through this portal three times and your sins will be forgiven. Eager pilgrims have already booked their hotels.
Work in progress
The building work started 144 years ago, and now, for the centenary of the death of the architect, Antoni Gaudí, the Sagrada Família is finally due to be completed. The interior of the basilica with its gothic and art nouveau details is already open to the public, as are some of the 18 towers with panoramic views of the city.
Table for two?
The world's most popular restaurant may have a table free now. Damon Baehrel, north of New York city and famous for cooking with local ingredients, is fully booked until the end of 2025, but is taking inquiries for 2026.
Counting fish
As you lie in bed
under the transparent ceiling
of what claims to be
the world's first "affordable"
underwater luxury hotel
you can watch swarms of
fish and dolphins drift by.
Part of the profits of the
Planet Ocean Underwater Hotels
in the Atlantic off the coast
of the Caribbean nation are
used to restore coral reefs.
Swiss games
Yodeling, alphorn and dances in regional costume: What began in 1805 as a shepherds' gathering in Interlaken is now celebrated every twelve years as the Unspunnenfest. Strong men compete by tossing stones.
The little folk
Show your garden gnome a bit of the world: If you truly love him, take your gnome to Wellington Mill in southwestern Australian and set him free. By 2018, some 10 000 gnomes from all around the world had gathered here.
Island getaway
The red lump of sandstone standing tall in the North Sea is the new Sylt: high and remote enough to feel exotic, and getting there is a lot easier than the present problem-beset train service to the island. Forget about oysters and go for the delicious local lobster, caught in the crevices of the island's rocky foundation.
Her majesty
At age 105, Elizabeth II celebrates 80 years on the throne. Our guess is that she'll abdicate in 2033, making way for her great-granddaughter Charlotte, who will have just turned 18.
Culture counts
The European Capitals of Culture (TBA) will be in the Netherlands and Italy. Our tip: Gouda, hoping to emancipate itself from cheese, and Turin, where Juventus coach, Cristiano Ronaldo, always subs himself into the game.
All at sea
Fancy floating on your back in the sea in the middle of a desert and reading the paper? You shouldn't put off visiting the Dead Sea for too long, as the water level of the gigantic salt lake between Israel, Jordan and the West Bank is sinking by around one meter every year. It could all be gone by 2050.
Elvis lives!
Fans are expected to come from all over the world to Graceland in Tennessee/USA to celebrate the King's 100th birthday on January 8. But hurry – there are only a few places left in the local Rock'n'Roll refresher classes!
Make space!
Many cities urgently need more room to spread out. The new district Wescape, 40 kilometers from Cape Town, has enough for 800 000 people. There will also be plenty of hotels, as South African surf hotspots Grotto Bay and Ganzekraal are close.

From industry power players like Jenna Lyons and girlfriend Courtney Crangi to Vogue editrix Anna Wintour and her entrepreneur beau Shelby Bryan, there's been tons of tabloid fodder surrounding folks who you usually think about simply for their street style merits and enviable careers.
In honor of incessant gossip regarding Calvin Klein getting back together with his 23-year-old boy toy Nick Gruber, we decided to take a look at the industry's 10 most controversial couples of all time.

Sun Insurance Services, Inc.
We are a small, family-owned insurance agency based in Orlando, Florida. We have been in business for 7 years and we are looking to refresh our brand a bit. Our current logo is a sun with our agency name below it. It was designed in the mid-90s by a graphic designer who was a dear family friend. We'd like to keep all or part of the sun graphic she drew as an homage to her. Since the logo was designed before the advent of the internet the font it uses doesn't translate well for Web design.
We are a fun-loving group of people and two of us have backgrounds in marketing so we have an eye for design and high expectations! We'd like our logo to show that we are approachable but knowledgeable. Because insurance can be an intimidating subject for most people, it's important that we let people know that there are real people behind our brand. We are friendly and we're here to help!
Everyone needs home insurance so our market is the entire population of Florida! We'd like to appeal to both younger and older generations so nothing too trendy but not too corporate, either. We sell all types of personal insurance (home, auto, flood, umbrella, etc.) and we also sell commercial insurance.
Please check out our Web site at http://www.suninsuranceservices.com to see our current material.
We need a logo that works well in print and on the Web. We'd like to keep the same color (PMS 136) but we're open to adding additional colors. Logo must work well as just black & white, too.

Tanked: Septic system can tell tales
Absolute Plumbing Services
Q. I just moved to the County, and I'm pretty certain I have septic tank. What should I do?–D.K.
A. Almost every county resident has one just beyond the back door, but the subject just never seems to make it into dinner conversation, does it?
While most people are content to call the "tank guy" every five years or so, there are things one can do in the meanwhile to keep the system flush, so to speak.
Septic tanks can last for at least 25 years with proper care and check-ups. A sure sign of trouble is flooding around the drain field, the pipes that filter waste water into the soil. This over-saturation could require a new drain field or, at the very least, professional assistance.
If you start to hear a gurgle in the drain, or your washing machine isn't draining properly, it could be the septic tank. And even if you can't hear, see, or smell it, septic problems could be happening right under your nose.
Actually draining the tank is beyond the ability (or interest) of most homeowners, but sensible preventive measures go a long way.
Start with a good tank– the brains of the waste disposal system. Concrete tanks are the best bet because they'll last the longest and can easily withstand heavy pressure above ground– most can withstand the weight of cars. You can accidentally puncture a plastic tank, and steel tanks can break down over time. The same goes for the distribution box, which direct the liquids into the soil.
The septic system functions like the human digestive system; its job is to break down large particles. Once the tank is installed, bacteria start to work on household solids. So flushing harsh chemicals (e.g. varnish, paint thinner, gasoline) down the drain or toilet is a very bad idea. It will kill these friendly bacteria and lead to solid build-up in the tank. Try to find other ways to dispose of such chemicals, or call a local recycling company.
The same goes for grease. Putting grease or strong de-greasers in the septic tank can cause clogs and make it impossible for soil to absorb liquids.
You might even consider installing water-reducing showerheads and faucets to prevent flooding. The septic tank needs water to function properly, but too much can overload it.
Surprisingly, large items that you can't believe someone flushed down the toilet sometimes wind up in the septic tank. Toys, condoms, lingerie, and tin cans have shown up in septic tanks in the area. It's no picnic to break up the solid top layer when pumping the tank. But history is hidden in the "sludge" layer.
So, while it might be a job that few people want to do, septic tank maintenance is serious business especially when it puts a marriage on the rocks. Watching while his tank was being pumped, a seemingly happily married local man learned his wife was having an affair– condoms from the toilet told the tale. The man stormed into the house, followed by his wife's speedy exit, before the tank was completely drained.
Keith Cline was not available for a photograph, so he sent a replacement.

Dorena's entry:
My youngest son has an incredible imagination!! He loves to turn boxes in to forts and castles. We usually have an abundance of boxes around our house and we enjoy spending hours taping 4-5 boxes together, gluing on art and of course coloring and painting the inside and outside. His forts get so big both he and I can sit in them and play. The best part about this playtime together is that even though my son is 5 years old, he attempts to include his older brother in with us. My oldest son is disabled and unable to talk or walk. What we do is gather all of our materials together and go into big brothers room; build our fort, and make sure that we are close enough to brothers bed so he is able to reach it {he is immobile- but enjoys banging his hand against Hayden's forts and 'beating it up' as we say.} I will cut windows into the boxes so that we can play peek-a boo with Tate as well. Its time with my boys that I will always cherish and hope that when little brother comes {I'm due in March} , that we will carry this play time over for all of us to enjoy! =)

Why am I writing this? Because I've been "tagged" as one of a series of genealogy bloggers. It's in an effort to try to get the genealogy bloggers more well known, a cause I fully support. So here are my five...
1. I don't really understand blogging! Actually, if you've read any of my blogs, you may have already figured this out. I've been stumbling through it and until recently haven't really searched to find what else is out there. But now I've I've been finding and google-bookmarking those I find for the past few weeks. I also use bloglines to give me a webased collection of rss feeds for those I want to track. So I'm slowly figuring it out. Tips and hints welcome.
2. I just learned recently that I have a (very distant and very indirect) connection to Yul Brynner. As a child, my husband's mother lived in a Russian community called Novina. Novina was a resort in Korea that catered to Russians in exile and Yul Brynner's father was connected to that resort, and perhaps the Brynners were related to the Yankovsky family of her step-father. Yul's son, Rock Brynner, has researched his family's origins and recently published a book about his family, Empire and Odyssey: The Brynners in Far East Russia and Beyond. My husband and daughter have ordered the book and are now in communication with researchers who also have interest in Novina, so I will write more about this in a separate blog.
3. From the third grade through the 7th, I went to a one room school, where I was the only one in my grade. The teacher was visibly displeased when she learned what grade I was in, since it meant adding a grade to her already full day. Each day she would call each grade up to the front of a room for a recitation in a round of subjects. First grades k-8 would be called up, one by one, for reading, then for arithmetic, then after lunch these rounds would be repeated for for social science and science. Penmanship every day for twenty minutes after lunch hour. This was also the time when the teacher held surprise desk checks to make sure our desks were neat. My desk never surprised her... it was never neat. We also had spelling, but I forget how she fit that in and art class was every Friday afternoon. Once the teacher learned I could read, my daily routine consisted of turning in my math assignment and very rarely being called up to recite. The rest of the time was all mine to read whatever I wanted. I thought it was a fine education.
4. I can't sing and am not musical. All my in-person friends and family know this, of course, but so far I've been able to keep it a secret on the web.
5. I can't keep up with everything I promise I'll do. Oh... that's no secret to anyone?

Water + child = hours of fun

That's what we use as a "water table" as too! Between the water and the sandbox my son hasn't really come inside the last few days except to eat and nap :)ReplyDelete
We did that yesterday too. It is amazing that they can't play with the same toy for more than a few minutes but can play with a cup and a bucket of water for an hour.ReplyDelete
I have used the bowl of water and measuring cups with both kids and it is truly the best summer toy ever!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I'm saving it for when it gets warmer for sure.ReplyDelete
BTW I love Inga's chubby little feet! :D
I do this all the time when I need a distraction to get dinner ready. I actually got the idea when I couldn't get her to stop playing with the dog's water bowl! I put down a large towel and fill my largest roasting pan with an inch or two of water. My daughter loves it!ReplyDelete
We don't need much to have fun when we are young. Lol.ReplyDelete

The news has been tough to digest. It�s not what any town � small or large � wants to read about one of its core citizens.
The news has been tough to digest. It�s not what any town � small or large � wants to read about one of its core citizens. Will Barker has been a positive part of this community for many years. I�ve got some thoughts on how we as a community can process all of this.
As a local pastor, my role is to shepherd people, to preach grace, and to hold out the truth of Christ. Here is my attempt to do that for the people of our city.
I understand that at Westminster�s church services the first Sunday after the news broke, there was a clear call to pray for the Barkers and to reach out in love. It�s their home church; this is the definitely the right tone.
One problem people have (whether at churches, workplaces, country clubs or in the school yard) is to turn on those who break the rules and upset the apple cart. Worse, it�s been said the church is the only army that shoots its wounded. Sounds to me like the body of Christ at WUMC is proving that wrong.
Question 1: What do we do with the man and how do we minister to his family?
By reaching out in love are we saying that there is nothing wrong in what was done? Not at all. But we are recognizing that, even in sin, this is a person. There is real hurt in this. We need to emulate the initial response of Westminster. We need to think how we can love and support the family in simple, practical ways.
Question 2: What do we do with the sin?
This situation is another example that there really is right and wrong in this world. No one can deny that. Some things are wrong, and need to be addressed as such. Sometimes we don�t like to use the word �sin,� but that�s the only word that can account for this.
I am not pointing fingers at one guy, positioning myself as perfect. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, �The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.� We are all mired in sin (though created by a good God). We all deserve to sit in a jail cell � or worse.
But here�s the good news: once we acknowledge there is sin, then we can begin to grab hold of the antidote for it, the solution for it. God knows that sin is rampant in this world and in our heart, so he did something about it. We celebrate it at Christmas: the gift of his Son. The whole purpose of Christ�s coming was �to give his life as a ransom for many� (Mark 10:45). Sin�s answer is not �more jail time� or �better penance.� It�s Jesus dying in our place, taking our punishment, and giving us his freedom; freedom to live at peace with God if we will surrender to him.
When faced with an especially tough sin (as we are), we need to remember that since we are all in the same boat, this instance is merely a difference of degree (not a difference of kind) of sin that we are all capable of. And then we need to remember that God�s answer to sin was to meet us at our worst, and take us to his best � all through the gift given at Christmas.
The courts will deal with the societal impact of this instance before us. And they must. But, as individuals, let us remember our own sin while we think about that of another.
That leads to the final question: What does each of us do from here?
Men: Get help. Will Barker is not the only one in Kinston viewing things that are degrading. How much sex/porn or violence/gore are you allowing to enter your mind? These desensitize us to the good gift of sex and life that come from a gracious God. Be careful what movies and games you�re spending time with. Be selective what sites you click on. Be discerning what you let your sons (and daughters) in on.
However, viewing pornography and explicit sex is especially insidious to the male brain. According to William M. Struthers� �Wired for Intimacy,� extended viewing of porn actually rewires guys� brains �physiologically changing the circuitry � so that they require more and more varied stimulation, seeking ever higher highs. This is true of every guy who sees stuff; he needs to see the next thing.
Struthers also shows how to un-wire the damage, and, over time, move back to the brain�s original wiring. There is always hope for healing, once the viewing stops!
Guys: you know if you are tempted to click to places of danger. You know the last time you�ve gone there. You know how hard it is to stop. You know what it�s like to get that first feeling of a high � �maybe I can just sneak something quick.�
THAT�S the moment to stop. Call a buddy. Cry out to God. Get out of the room. Take a walk. Break the spell. Dodge the bullet in this tempting hour. And, get a friend to help you long-term. Many guys use Internet programs like �Covenant Eyes� that will send a weekly email of all the websites you visit to a person of your choice � a buddy who will pray for you and keep you safe.
Women: pray for your husbands, sons and friends. Be ready to help them out of a mud-hole, not condemn them in it, as betraying as it can feel. Research is also revealing that more and more women are viewing porn. I�m not sure why this is the case, but it is. If this is you, get help. God has way better ideas of how to fill your mind!
Moms and Dads: get the televisions and computers out of your sons� bedrooms and out of unsupervised rec-rooms. Monitor the smartphones (or hold off on them altogether): a 3-inch screen is as deadly as a 60-inch! Would you leave a loaded gun in the Den as you go to bed, while your 16 year old is still doing his homework? Would you leave a case of beer in your nephew�s bedroom each night? Be real about the dangers here. Let your son be mad at you today. One day he�ll thank you�as will his future wife!
We�re fooling ourselves if we read the headlines of The Free Press, and don�t examine the activities in our lives. Look inward: take this as a wake-up call to make a change. It�s a gracious challenge from a forgiving and holy God: �return to me, and I will build you up!�
Look outward: Take this as a call to reach out in love and support to a hurting family here and now.

Feather headbands and head wraps are big fashion right now. Both the flapper influenced headbands, and the hippie style head wraps. I decided I would try making a flapper inspired headband and the project turned out to be pretty easy. You need a headband, a feather pad, and an optional embellishment. I don't often wear headbands but I am surprised how glamourous these look on. For very little money you can have an eye catching headband that would look equally great with a cocktail dress, or jeans. I think they would also be beautiful on bridesmaids. I really love the flapper look. After all those women were the original rebels!
For this project you will need:
Headband ($1 store)
Feather pad (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or fly fishing stores).
Embellishments (optional) Pendants with bale removed (see Shabby Chic Napkin Rings for how to remove bales), silk flowers, acrylic gems, buttons etc.
Make sure the embellishments are not heavy or they will pull away from the feathers. I used 40% off pendants from Michaels for these headbands. A fancy button would also work nicely.
E6000 Glue or Hot Glue. The fabric backed feathers worked well with E6000, but the natural backed feathers worked better with hot glue. You will have to experiment with glues to see what works best with your feathers.
Attach your feather pad to your headband about 1-2" above the bottom of the band. Add glue along the headband the distance of the feathers.
Center the pad in place while drying.
The material backed feathers adhered quickly and the headband only needed propping up to dry, while the natural back feathers needed clipping to dry. Attach clips to hold in place if needed.
After the feather pad has dried to the headband attach your embellishment with E6000 glue. Use a light weight embellishment. If it is heavy you may have to wire wrap it to the headband. I used pendants with the bales removed.

The four principal stockholders of the Sports Club Co. Inc. have proposed returning the company to a private company and selling off six clubs to help retire the company's outstanding senior secured indebtedness.
Under the proposal, the company's public shareholders will receive $2.00 for each share of common stock owned by them through the merger of a newly formed entity (to be owned by the company's four principal stockholders—Millennium Partners, Rex A. Licklider, D. Michael Talla, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors L.P., and their affiliates) with and into the company with the company being the surviving entity.
The letter of intent further contemplates that the company will sell six of its nine sports and fitness complexes to an affiliate of Millennium for $65 million. The clubs to be sold include the company's three facilities located in New York City, and single clubs in Boston, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. In addition, the management agreement for the club in Miami, FL, will be assigned to Millennium. Following the sale, the company will continue to own and operate its three Southern California clubs: The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, The Sports Club/LA - Beverly Hills and The Sports Club/LA - Orange County.
As part of the proposed transaction, the company intends to arrange for new financing secured by its property in West Los Angeles and use a portion of the remaining proceeds of the asset sale and new financing to retire the company's outstanding $100 million of senior secured notes due in March 2006. Rex Licklider, chief executive officer of the company, stated, "The sale of the assets to Millennium and the refinancing of the West Los Angeles property will strengthen our balance sheet and relieve the company of the significant debt burden under which we have operated for several years." Mr. Licklider concluded by saying, "The company and Millennium will work together to maintain the standard of excellence synonymous with The Sports Club/LA brand. We have established ourselves as the premier operator of luxury sports and fitness complexes in the world, and our members can be assured that The Sports Club/LA brand will continue to embody the highest levels of service and quality."

At its core, this 'Earth' is beige
The last time we saw Rob Corddry do mayhem-from-the-skies material, he was playing a family man encouraging the kids to party 1999-style in "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.'' Perfect — just the subversiveness you'd hope for from the "Childrens Hospital'' series creator-star and former "Daily Show'' correspondent. You spot his name in the advertising for the indie animated feature "Escape From Planet Earth,'' and you instantly look forward to seeing what he'll do with space stuff when it's for a PG, Pixar-loving crowd.
Colorful as the 3-D aliens-among-us comedy is to look at, though, Corddry is handed a role that's beige as can be, and so are his castmates. If "Escape'' figures prominently into your February staycation plans, you won't feel like you've thrown your money away, but the kids won't still be buzzing about it when they get back to school, either.
Corddry plays extraterrestrial tech nerd Gary Supernova, a safety-minded worrier who mans the mission control board for the spacefaring exploits of his hotshot brother, Buzz Light—um, Scorch (Brendan Fraser). When Scorch recklessly blasts off to answer a distress call emanating from Earth, Gary frets, of course — as the control center computer (Ricky Gervais) points out, they're talking about an evolution-challenged world notorious for swallowing up first-contact visitors. (A zippy history-of-Earth montage tosses together live-action images of Castro and ZZ Top to show just how nutso — and bearded — we are. It's one of a few fresh, sly bits that you'll wish turned up more often.)
Sure enough, Scorch is captured and locked away in a government facility we're pretty sure we just saw in "Monsters vs. Aliens,'' with a menagerie of other creatures (Craig Robinson, Jane Lynch, etc.). It's clear the filmmakers are trying — they splice a lobster, a triceratops, and a Cyclops for Lynch's character, and they recruit William Shatner to voice the megalomaniacal army general in charge — but these and other bids for something inspired just don't click.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the main action — desk jockey Gary heading out into the field to save his brother — the story is content to competently follow the expected script. Which is fine, but also a waste of Corddry's knack for the unexpected.

5-1-10 Progressive Field
I wasn't sure if I was going to go to today's game at Progressive Field. After continuously checking the weather forecast throughout the morning, it looks like rain that had been moving through Cleveland would be gone.
I left my house a little before 1PM and was first in line at 3PM. When I peeked through the gates, I saw this:
That was my seventh and final ball of BP.
Afterwards, Zack, Nick, Bryan and I went to Heritage Park to see if any balls had landed in the trees there. There was nothing to be found, but we did take a few photo opportunities:
Showing the Target Field balls:
and an even better picture, with a clear view of the Target Field Balls:
Afterwards, we would all go our separate ways. I chose to go to the Twins bullpen area. I had noticed a ball laying in the bullpen.
It was a little too far out to do the glove trick, so I elected to wait and see if I could get the ball tossed up to me.
Pitching coach Rick Anderson made his way into the bullpen,
and tossed me up ball #8 of the day.
During the game, I started in left field foul territory,
but eventually started playing the outfield for home run balls.
For lefties, I sat over in right field.
And I stayed on the home run porch occasionally for righties.
I stayed until the very end of the game – the 11th inning.
And watched the Indians win in exciting walk off fashion:
Also, this was likely the last game that I'll have the #1 game on mygameballs.com, as Zack Hample is poised to remove me from the top spot on Monday.
Here are today's baseballs:
And the sweet spots:
Game: 8 balls (5 hit, 3 thrown)
Season: 69 balls (43 hit, 13 thrown, 7 device, 6 found)
Games: 10 games
Average: 6.90 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 3
Career: 647 balls
Streak: 106 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.

The Florida state Senate Banking and Insurance Committee unanimously passed SB 814, which, when signed into law, will make Florida a "notice-filing state" for branch office applications. While it pertains to Florida, the implications are nationwide, since it affects every financial services firm with affiliated financial advisors in Florida, regardless of where the firm is headquartered.
Traditionally, financial services firms would have to close pending approval of a notice filing, costing the advisor money and denying clients access to advice, according to FSI spokesman Chris Paulitz. Most typically, it would happen in the following three scenarios: When an advisor changed broker-dealer affiliation; when an advisor moved his current office address to another address, "Even if he's moving a few blocks, from Main Street to Smith Street," or when a firm–operating in another state–wanted to open a new branch office in Florida.
"There are only six states that are not 'notice-filing' states," Paulitz says. "Of those six, the other five are not a problem; there is no delay in the filings' approvals. When we stared working with Florida, the delays were a nightmare. We'd get calls from advisors who'd say they haven't been able to work for a month. The excuse from Florida was that a few people were out sick, or a person was away at a conference. It was unacceptable."
FSI claims the waiting period has been reduced from weeks to four or five days, but "that's still four or five days of lost revenue and no access to advice."
Paulitz explains that under the new legislation, applications are automatically approved once they are filed online. There is then 30-day approval period in which they are reviewed and any required changes are made. They key is advisors can continue to operate during that period.
"It was extremely difficult for the forms to be screwed up, so there really was no reason for the delays," he adds. "I would wonder why advisors wouldn't just plan better to avoid having to shut down, but you can't file the paperwork until you officially begin the move. There's no way to get out in front of it, which is why the legislation is so important."

I know it's 'in vogue' to call for the head of the hitting coach when things are going badly. I'm hardly the first and if things keep going like this for the Twins (6 runs in 4 games) more and more people will jump on that bandwagon. The fact of the matter is that in each of the past two season, the Twins offense has gotten off to a very slow start and sometimes a change a scenery is needed, even if the old scenery isn't necessarily the problem.
Last year, the circumstances were different, but the outcome was the same. In their first 29 games of 2011, the Twins managed only one game in which the offense scored more than 5 runs. Injuries were to blame more than anything else for the slow start in 2011, but this year the Twins entered and emerged from Spring Training with a fully capable lineup that had been playing well leading up to the beginning of the season.
Their struggles so far this year are no mystery when you look at the data. As a team they seem unable to hit a ball that doesn't hit the ground before it hits a glove. In fact, of all the balls the Twins have put in play so far this season, 67.7% of them have been groundballs which, far and away, leads the Majors. Their GB/FB ratio is 3.35/1 -- almost DOUBLE that of any other team (the next closest is the Giants at 1.87/1 GB/FB ratio). The propensity to hit groundballs has led to an understandably low BABIP (.184) which pretty much explains why the Twins have been unable to score runs. To put it a different way - the Twins have scored 6 runs in 4 games and 3 of those runs have come as a result of HRs hit by Josh Willingham. If not for that, the Twins would have been shutout twice in the first 4 games. [all stats courtesy of fangraphs.com]
Joe Vavra's had a good run. He was hired following the 2005 season and in 2006, the Twins scored over 800 runs and won 96 games. After a down year in 2007, the Twins again reached the 800+ runs mark in both 2008 and 2009 and almost reached that mark in 2010 scoring 781 runs. Last year, well, we all know what happened last year - the team only scored 619 runs on it's way to one of the worst years in franchise history.
I'm only half-heartedly calling for a change. I know it's only 4 games and I also know that there are 158 games left this season. The Twins offense could (and probably will) turn it around at any point. I'm saying that if this offensive futility continues, then there needs to be some changes made -- and in this case I think it should start with the hitting coach.

What a incredibly lazy Saturday I've had! I didnt get out of my PJ's till gone 1pm! Judging by the ammount of retweets I had on that tweet I wasnt the only one! Comfort over style, although I quite like this outfit! I adore these New Look hoodies, They are really similar to the American Apparel ones but super cheap. This grey marl one is my fave to snuggle down in! I didn't really need this dress when I bought it, I have been cutting down on the amount of clothes I've been buying recently. However of course I justified it to myself saying its black and white stripes rather than the typical blue and white you get. Lame excuse, Ha!
Fox hat purely for the lolz! I love wearing it! River Island is my favourite shop at the moment, I think their autumn winter collections are always spot on. I placed a sly order for quite a few things this week which I cant wait to come! Hopefully they'll be on the blog soon!
P.S For the beady eyed ones, yes I'm missing a nail on my right hand (your left!) popped off when I was photographing without me realising!
