Sox Send Morel to Charlotte
Yesterday the White Sox sent Brent Morel to minor league camp. I am surprised by this move, despite Morel having a terrible spring Rick Hahn seemed to indicate earlier in Spring Training that Morel was their starting third baseman. Unfortunately for Morel he has been dogged by a terrible spring audition which has seen he him hit for a .216 batting average with a .256 on-base percentage. In addition, he has only drawn one walk in thirty-seven plate appearances, while striking out in eight of them.
This is the right move by Hahn and the White Sox staff because Morel has shown that he is not ready to shoulder the load at third base from an offensive standpoint. Hahn also has players who seem like they can produce in Jeff Keppinger and Conor Gillaspie. Gillaspie, a left handed bat, has done very well this spring, hitting to a .278 average with a .357 on-base percentage. Gillaspie has been one of the best hitters on the Sox this spring and may very well be able to steal the starting third base job away from the veteran utility man Jeff Keppinger. Keppinger, like Gillaspie, also signed on to the Sox this offseason for three years, $12 million, and was supposed to take over the vacancy Kevin Youkilis left at third. Thus far Keppinger has shown the Sox no reason not to start him there opening day as he has hit an outstanding .500 in spring training and has reached base at a .576 clip. The Sox will have to choose who starts between the two when the season begins, but I believe Hahn likes his options.
Back to Morel, personally I am hoping this season will be a make or break year for Morel at Triple A. He will either accept that he is not cut out with the bat to compete for a major league level job, or he will find his confidence again and play like the reincarnation of Joe Crede, like he was supposed to. Meanwhile, the Sox will be comfortable enough at the Major League level to let Morel figure himself out.
What You've All Been Waiting For: AL Central Preview
1. Detroit Tigers
Notable Additions: OF Torii Hunter
Notables Losses: RP Jose Valverde, OF Delmon Young
This is very much the same team that came back and bit the White Sox in the butt at the end of last season. They lost one below-average outfielder and picked up a still above average one who should continue to succeed late in his career. The Tigers also let go of their erratic closer and will most likely have a closer by committee with candidates Bruce Rondon and Phil Coke among others vying for the job. Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera along with his partner in crime Prince Fielder will once again be counted on to lead the team's run production, but they will also have Victor Martinez return to the lineup in 2013 and he will make this team that much more dangerous. Not to mention that if Austin Jackson and Andy Dirks build off their success in 2012 as well… Jesus the Tigers are scary. And Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Doug Fister, and Anibal Sanchez, too. I'll just stop. They are going to win the division, they are too good.
2.Cleveland Indians
Notable Additions: OF Michael Bourn, OF Drew Stubbs, OF Nick Swisher, SP Brett Myers, MGR Terry Francona, SS Mike Aviles, C/1B Yan Gomes, SP Trevor Bauer, 1B Mark Reynolds, SP Daisuke Matsuzaka, 1B/DH Jason Giambi
Notable Losses: OF Shin Soo-Choo, RP Tony Sipp, SS Jason Donald, RP Roberto Hernandez (Fausto Carmona), 1B/DH Travis Hafner, OF Grady Sizemore, 3B Jack Hanahan, UTIL Brent Lillibridge
The Indians are a highly improved team in 2013. They have men who can hit at every position, power, speed, and on-base percentage. In fact, I think their lineup rivals Detroit's in terms of scariness; and it's not because their players can take you deep at will, but instead because they can win in so many different ways. Mark Reynolds, Jason Kipnis, and Nick Swisher can take you deep. Michael Bourn, Michael Brantley, and Drew Stubbs can run wild on the base paths, and Asdrubal Cabrera can continue to dazzle with his glove. The main sticking point to this team is their starting rotation. Justin Masterson is their ace, which really says something about A.) how bad this staff is, and B) how badly Ubaldo Jimenez had regressed from his days with the Rockies. If Masterson can pitch like the ace he is supposed to be, allegedly and Jimenez can return to his glory days with Colorado the Indians should be in good shape. Brett Myers will eat innings, Trevor Bauer should be up in the majors by mid-season, and Scott Kazmir has really impressed in Spring Training. Not to mention the Tribe really doesn't need that great of a starting staff because their bullpen is one of the best in the American League with Vinny Pestano being one of the best guys for holds in the league and Chris Perez being the best closer in the division.
3. Chicago White Sox
Notable Additions: RP Matt Lindstrom, UTIL Jeff Keppinger, 3B Conor Gillaspie
Notable Losses: 3B Kevin Youkilis, C AJ Pierzynski, UTIL Orlando Hudson, SP Francisco Liriano, RP Brett Myers, SP Philip Humber
The White Sox lost a lot of key players from the 2012 almost champion team. AJ Pierzynski clubbed a career high twenty-two home runs in 2012 and that will be sorely missed in the 2013 version of the White Sox. Tyler Flowers has been the named the anointed one to replace all-time favorite Pierzynski. He probably won't come close to AJ's numbers in his first year, but he can be expected to produce at least fifteen home runs and drive in at least seventy runs on a year to year basis. Kevin Youkilis also left the team for the "Evil Empire" New York Yankees, and the Sox will most likely fill that hole with a platoon of Brent Morel and Jeff Keppinger. Hopefully Morel can turn into the hitter he was projected to become in the minors so that the Sox can have a consistency at the position, which has been unstable since the great Joe Crede left. Overall, the Sox lineup is starting to age as slugger Paul Konerko begins to head down the road to retirement. Adam Dunn is still a good power hitter and should be able to contribute to the offense and Alex Rios is still a wild card as far as consistent production goes. The 2013 lineup wont be the most offensively potent, however if there is one thing the Sox have always been able to do, its pitch. Ace, Chris Sale, was extended to five year deal, and will hopefully continue his prior dominance. Jake Peavy extended his contract with the team for two more seasons and should continue his mad-dog attitude on the mound. John Danks is returning from injury and is expected to be a big contributor as well. Not to mention Gavin Floyd will be back on the mound, barring he doesn't get flipped at the deadline; and in addition Jose Quintana is looking to rebound from a poor second half performance and pitch the Sox to playoff contention in 2013. The baby bullpen will begin their sophomore season this year as well. Veterans like Matt Thornton, Jesse Crain, and Matt Lindstrom will be expected to lead the group of talented relievers including Nate Jones, Addison Reed, and Dylan Axelrod. The young bullpen did well in 2012, and will hopefully continue to be consistent in 2013. The Sox don't look that good on paper, but they didn't look good last year either; and the best thing is that the front office has shown willingness to make moves if the Sox are in contention, as evidenced by the Youkilis and Myers moves. They will give the Tigers & Indians problems and may compete for a wild card spot.
4. Kansas City Royals
Notable Additions: SP James Shields, SP Ervin Santana, SP Wade Davis, INF Elliot Johnson
Notable Losses: RHP Jeremy Jeffress, RHP Vin Mazzaro, OF Wil Myers, RHP Jake Odorizzi, C Brayan Pena, RHP Joakim Soria, RHP Blake Wood
If you haven't had the chance to as of lately please say good-bye to the days of the Royals being absolute pushovers in the AL Central. Though I have them finishing in fourth place, the Royals will be highly competitive in 2013. Their lineup will feature young fixtures Eric Hosmer, Alex Gordon, Bill Butler, and Salvador Perez. Those four players are part of the Royals core of players who will begin to reek havoc upon the Central for years to come. The Royals did well down the stretch last year, despite not having the best pitching out there. Well GM Dayton Moore did something about that this winter, trading for starters James Shields and Wade Davis from the Tampa Bay Rays, and signing Ervin Santana in free agency. Not to mention they have mainstays Bruce Chen and Jeremy Guthrie returning to the rotation as well. The Royals will also have a very good bullpen which will feature Greg Holland, Aaron Crow, Luke Hochevar, and Kelvin Herrera. The Royals look good this year, but I can see them putting everything together yet. They will battle with the White Sox for third place but ultimately lose out.
5. Minnesota Twins
Notable Additions: SP Rich Harden, SP Mike Pelfrey, SP Kevin Correia, SP Vance Worley
Notable Losses: OF Denard Span, OF Ben Revere, SP Scott Baker, INF Alexi Casilla, RP Matt Capps
The Twins will be your resident celler dweller this year. They traded away their best two outfielders this offseason, and have no offensive weapons aside from Joe Mauer and Josh Willingham (barring Justin Morneau has a great rebound season). The pitching staff is improved from last years as Scott Diamond will get some veteran help from the likes of Correia, Worley, and Pelfrey. There really isn't much to say about this team as they seem to be drained of talent at the major league level. However Aaron Hicks is currently an exciting player to watch as he may win their center field job out of Spring Training without playing a game above AA. Also keep your eye on Miguel Sano, an exciting young shortstop with power, and Bryan Buxton who is a powerful outfielder. This team will finish last, but Terry Ryan is working to change that.
White Sox Spring Training Preview: Hitters
The smell of freshly mowed grass is beginning to accumulate in Glendale, Arizona. White Sox pitchers and catchers will report in two days and begin the grind to another AL Central title. However, the fate of the White Sox will be decided in Spring Training as the White Sox invite their 40-man roster along with non-roster invitees to see who will best fit the mold for Robin Ventura and his coaching staff. Spring camp is also a good way to evaluate the Sox at each position and how they did in the offseason trying to upgrade that position. This will only address the hitters as I will do the pitchers at a later date.
At catcher, barring a move before camp breaks, Sox fans will see Tyler Flowers handling the pitching staff. Flowers does not currently command the confidence of many White Sox fans but Rick Hahn has defended the catcher and says he has faith in his abilities. Flowers, in past seasons has shown flashes of Adam Dunn-like country power. Sox fans have seen him absolutely obliterate foul balls and if he can translate that power to hitting balls on the fair side of the foul poll then the Sox might be on to something. Backing up Flowers will be minor league journeyman Hector Gimenez. Gimenez has had 20 at-bats in his major league career, so I won't even bother trying to project or predict what kind of major league player he will be. With the unknown of Gimenez however I would expect Flowers to get a lot of playing time similar to the way A.J. Pierzynski hogged the playing time at catcher when he was in his prime years. The Sox really didn't make much of an effort to upgrade at catcher despite options being available and options that continue to be available.
Grade: C
The Sox infield continues to stay static with team Captain and face of the franchise Paul Konerko manning first base, youngster Gordan Beckham taking second, and the Cuban Missile, Alexei Ramirez, at shortstop. This infield has been the same since Beckham became a regular in 2010. So this is no surprise. However, third base is in flux. Rick Hahn intends to give Brent Morel every chance to win back the third base job after he lost it last season due to poor production at the plate, though Hahn will claim it was due to his back injury. Three different men occupied third base last year: Morel, Orlando Hudson, and Kevin Youkilis. In order to try to stabilize the position should Morel bust again, Hahn added utility-man Jeff Keppinger who can spell any infield position to backup both Morel and Beckham. Though I do not see Beckham having a breakout year, ever, I can see Morel significantly improving this year. Or at least one can hope. Fans should be glad that Hahn did address the third base issue in some way by adding Keppinger, so that is a plus as well. Let's also not forget the Big Donkey, Adam Dunn, who should continue to build on his success from last year. I expect his numbers to stay relatively the same considering he is the epitome of an all-or-nothing hitter.
Grade: B
The White Sox outfield is full of familiar faces in 2013 as well, with all three starters returning to the lineup in 2013. Dayan Viciedo will man left, speedster Alejandro De Aza will be in centerfield, and Alex Rios will patrol right. Though this outfield isn't exactly suited for its defensive abilities it will be a force to be reckoned with on offense. If Alex Rios can repeat last year's success and Viciedo can learn some plate discipline, the White Sox lineup will continue to be one of the AL Central's best. However, there is still a battle to be won in the Sox outfield. Who will be the fourth outfielder? Currently the battle looks to be between the veteran, DeWayne Wise, and the youngster, Jordan Danks. Wise seems to be the favorite as he has continued to fight for a major league job throughout his career, but the Sox should really look at giving Danks an opportunity this season because he has more of a future with the team than Wise when you consider age instead of production. The Sox really didn't need to address this position in the offseason as it is fine where it is as of now.
Grade: B+
As spring training comes nearer and nearer, we as baseball fans get more excited to see the position battles, the drama, and heroics of our favorite teams. The way the White Sox lineup looks now, I am not to worried about the team producing runs, I am more worried about the consistency of the run production as the players we have now are know to be streaky, however a new season brings new trends, and maybe that is a trend that won't continue into this year. For now though, let's all just look forward to that beautiful fresh-cut grass.
Position Battles to Watch at Sox Camp
There are thirty-nine more days until pitchers and catchers report to Camelback Ranch. Baseball will be back, and we can all emerge from the disappointment of last season in hopes of succeeding again. However, before the Sox can get their feet off the ground, there are still some question marks across the diamond and the starting rotation. It is imperative that the Sox coaching and player development staff use Spring Training to identify impact players who can help the big league roster and to sort out the best lineup from what they have been given.
Starting out the competition will be utility infielder Jeff Keppinger versus incumbent third baseman Brent Morel. Keppinger was signed this past offseason to a 3 year, $12 million deal in order to be the team's starting third baseman, and he is presumed to be the favorite as of right now. Despite, the signing of Keppinger, Morel is still young and has time on his side. In 2009, Future Sox's scouting report on Morel projected him to be an average third baseman, and if he can do that he will win the job handedly. Morel's defensive abilities combined with his decent power could easily net him twenty home run/eighty RBI seasons, but he needs to put it all together first. Last year was not pretty, but we start over again every year, fresh starts, so that players can try again. Here's to Morel finding his way back to where he is expected to perform, but until then, based on last year's performance, Keppinger has the third base job locked up.
Another war to be waged in the Arizona desert will be for the backup starting catcher job. With the departure of AJ Pierzynski, it is now safe to safe to say that Tyler Flowers will be the starting catcher, but who the backup will be is a whole different beast. Currently the White Sox 40-man roster lists three catchers, Flowers, Hector Gimenez, and Josh Phegley. Phegley is ranked as the 11th prospect in the White Sox farm system, and is my personal favorite to win the job. Phegley is twenty-four years old and has only had four years of minor league experience as opposed to Gimenez who has had a ten-year minor league career with four different organizations, including the White Sox. If he was anything special, I feel like he would have shown it somewhere before his age thirty season.
Despite my feelings toward Gimenez I can also see why the White Sox would like Phegley to remain in AAA for one more season. Phegley regressed a little last year, though his average spiked about fifteen points, his on-base percentage dropped, which indicates impatience at the plate. The Sox are already stacked with impatient free swingers (see Alexei Ramirez, Dayan Viciedo, and Gordon Beckham), what the Sox need is someone who can control the strike zone, and take walks. Another year in the minors would allow Phegley to identify bad pitches and try to take more walks instead of taking himself out of at-bats. In addition, Phegley has blood disorder, ITP, which lowers the body's platelet count. Side effects are increased risk of bleeding and Purpura, which are disgusting red or purple skin discolorations caused by bleeding under the skin. Another year in the minors would be beneficial to see how well Phegley can continue his playing career in spite of having the blood disorder.
The final battle that will be interesting to watch unfold is that of the fifth starter. The White Sox rotation this upcoming season will consist of John Danks, Jake Peavy, Chris Sale, Gavin Floyd, and Jose Quintana or Hector Santiago. Though trade rumors continue to surround Gavin Floyd we will assume the Sox break camp with him. Hector Santiago was an unknown last year when spring training came around, but he broke camp with the Sox and ended up winning the closer job for the first week of the season (before eventually losing it to Addison Reed). Santiago wasn't exactly a stellar reliever, but he was good enough for about half of the season. The Sox then decided that Santiago would be best fit as a starter and sent him down to Charlotte to stretch out. He came back and made a start against Cleveland on October 1st, and pitched a gem; only allowing one hit over seven frames. The case for Santiago is a little shaky though based on his losing of the closer job, and him also only making one start against one of the worst teams in the AL Central.
Jose Quintana's story is quite similar, an unknown, he didn't even break camp with the Sox. Quintana was toiling away in AA when the Sox came calling. John Danks had just been placed on the disabled list and the White Sox needed a spot start. On May 25, against the who-would-have-guessed-it Cleveland Indians Quintana took the bump for six innings, allowing two runs, walking three, and striking out four. This would cement Quintana's place in the White Sox rotation, and he would go on to make twenty-three more starts for the Pale Hose, winning six and losing six.
In my opinion, this competition will be close, both pitchers are very similar in stuff, but when in doubt, experience is always the tie-breaker. All in all, this Spring Training should be no different than others. Battles will be fought, positions will be won, and the Sox will be absolutely terrible compared to the Cubs in Spring Training play, prompting Cubs fans to tease us until the regular season begins and everything goes back to normal. Will the battles won in Spring Training help us overcome the Everest that has become the Tigers? I hope so. But the only way to find out is in seventy-five days when Chris Sale takes the bump at US Cellular Field against the James Shields and the new look Royals.

Hispanic households in the U.S. that trace their origin to Puerto Rico are more than twice as likely as Cuban-origin households to suffer from food insecurity, a new study shows.
The research shows that within the ethnic designation of Hispanic, significant differences in food insecurity exist, depending on family origin, as well as immigration status and length of time residing in the United States.
Families are said to be food insecure if at least once during a year they are unable to supply adequate nutrition for each member to lead an active, healthy life.
Nationally, 22.4 percent of Hispanic households were food insecure in 2014.
Of Hispanic subgroups, households of Puerto Rican descent living in the United States had the highest food insecurity rate – 25.3 percent. The rate for families of Cuban origin was 12.1 percent.
Other Hispanic subgroups measured in the study were Mexican descent (20.8 percent were food insecure) and Central or South American descent (20.7 percent).
The study also found that Hispanics living in rural areas or major cities were more likely to be food insecure than Hispanics living in suburban counties:
Hispanics comprise 55 million U.S. residents, or about 17 percent of the U.S. population, according to the Census Bureau. "Yet little is known about the food security conditions among Hispanic subpopulations as distinguished by origin, immigration status, time in the United States, household composition, income, metropolitan residence, and region," the report said.
The report, written by Matthew P. Rabbitt, Michael D. Smith, and Alisha Coleman-Jensen, attempted to answer some of these questions.
Other findings of the study were the following:
While citizenship status might improve economic conditions, for Puerto Ricans (who are U.S. citizens by law), other factors probably had a stronger impact, Rabbitt told the Daily Yonder.
"The increased likelihood of food insecurity among Puerto Ricans, compared to other Hispanics, is also consistent with the fact that Puerto Ricans have the highest poverty rate among Hispanics [living in the 50 states]," he said in an email. "This reinforces the likelihood that income, employment, and educational attainment are likely the main factors explaining the difference."
Data for the study came from the Food Security Supplement, a survey conducted for USDA by the Census Bureau as part of the Current Population Survey. The data was estimated for 2014 based on four years of surveys.
African Americans had the highest food insecurity rate (26.1 percent) of American ethnic groups. Non-Hispanic whites had the lowest, 10.5.

If you're a woman then you know 40 sucks. It's not the number. It's what the age means and what it does and what it's changed. I thought 40 really sucked. I thought that birthday would be the end of the dread. Then I hit 41. The shit didn't stop and the clock didn't slow. There are more birthdays to come. I don't look forward to 42 but something tells me it will get here just like my PMS and the mortgage deadline and the next parent teacher conference.
I've learned that I can't stop time, but after 40 years I've learned that I can change the way the years pass by. I realized I was getting older and acting older, even though I really didn't feel older. I was being swept along by everything around me, doing what was expected. I was crossing off the days of my life just as I was told to do.
Truthfully, I was unhappy. So what did I do about it? Did I consider a new career? Did I buy a new wardrobe? Did I ask my husband to consider buying a new house? No. I cheated on my husband.
It wasn't anything my husband did. I wasn't angry about our relationship or anything at home. I was just ready to change my life in some way I could control. So I did, and it was almost the biggest mistake of my life.
I had sex with another man, and I quite enjoyed it. It was with a coworker, a friend. There was nothing unique or magical about any of it. The whole arrangement was so stereotypical that it was almost comical. The water cooler chat turned flirting turned motel rendezvous. He was nothing special either. Just a friend who happened to throw out the right suggestion at the right time. It would have all been so mundane, had it not been the most thrilling sex in my life in years.
So I went to a motel and I had sex with him. The fuck itself wasn't that great either, but the sad thing was that it was the most stimulating sexual encounter I'd had in years. Sex with my husband wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything like that day in that motel either.
Afterward it became complicated. My husband had no suspicions. He knew nothing. I knew everything. The next week I cried with guilt and self-doubt. I also masturbated furiously thinking about the sex itself. I made my husband his favorite meals. I also had to change my panties more than once, thinking back to that afternoon in the motel. I was torn between guilty and horny. I was a mess.
I decided not to do anything about it for at least a month and give myself time to think. I didn't see the man again, although he did make offers. I needed time to get it together. Eventually I had one of those epiphanies many of us get around mid-life. I realized I loved the sex. I also realized I didn't like the cheating. I liked the experience of being with another man, but I loved my husband and being married even more. I decided to put it all behind me. It would never happen again.
Then my husband found out, and everything changed. Secrets are slippery. You can try to keep them hidden deep in your back pocket but they always find a way out. Especially when a certain coworker feels the need to brag about getting into your pants at the Christmas office party and two people who overhear him are friends with you and your husband. So yes, my husband found. It all hit the fan.
We fought viciously. I confessed everything. We cried and fought some more. The fighting went on for days before he moved out. We didn't talk for almost a week until he came by to pick up some things he needed. We talked a little more, then fought a little more, and then he left again. But the fighting wasn't as bad. I called him four days later to see if we could have lunch. I thought if we met at a restaurant we could keep everything civil. It worked. We met and talked for a long time. It went good that day, and that was the first time we said we loved each other since he first found out.
He still loves me! There was hope! Truth be known I still loved him and this whole thing scared me so. I truly regretted what I had done. He was hurt and he didn't deserve that. I wanted him back more than ever. I only hoped he wanted the same thing.
Eventually we did patch things up enough that he moved back in. But we weren't what I would call close for months. It took him time to accept and forgive me for what I did. Thank God he did.
That's when we started talking. We talked like we never had before. It was different for us, as we had been honest before but not very open. Over time we confided in each other more. By the time summer had arrived we had become close again, and I felt that most of my damage had been undone.
Part of what we talked about was sex. We talked about our sex life, what we had and what we wanted. One night in bed he told me something that I never predicted. He told me that he sometimes fantasized about my being in that motel and having sex that day. I was speechless! I couldn't make the connection between my act of betrayal and his fantasy. It was just beyond my grasp at that time. As we discussed it more that night (and more since then) I realized that he fantasized of me having sex with another man. Since this was the closest that his fantasy had ever come to happening, we think that he portrayed his fantasy into my affair. What had once angered him had now become part of his fantasy.
The more we talked the clearer it became. Just like me, he had masturbated to the thoughts of that day. Even though he still felt the twinge of my betrayal, he said that the thought of the sex physically aroused him. He didn't understand it. I didn't either. But it was there, and something inside me liked it. I saw something in him I didn't know. I also felt something in me coming back to life.
We had more talking to do, and over the next month his desires became apparent. He wanted me to have sex with someone again. He said he would even agree to my having sex with the same guy I met before if I wanted. I didn't want to do that though, since I felt like he was too indiscreet. After all, he couldn't keep a secret before, how could I trust him to keep it again? No, he wouldn't do. But I knew there could be others.
Maybe because of the circumstances we went through, unlike a lot of other couples we never went through either of us having to 'talk the other' into doing this. Even though I had decided not to repeat it, my affair made me realize that I enjoyed extramarital sex. I knew I could see someone else. Once my husband admitted his fantasy to me I had no problem with it, so it was almost understood between us that I would begin finding someone else.
That's when we first realized (and admitted to each other) that monogamy wasn't for us. We didn't want that rut any more. It was part of the problem that drove me to do what I did. This is a blog of our thoughts on why the monotony of monogamy isn't for us any longer.

"All you get is a paper bag"
One of my goals for the year was to introduce more play into art. George Szekely's quote inspired me to do a paper bag assignment with my students. I did this assignment with k-3 grade. I gave all the students a paper bag. I told them they would not get glue or tape, and all they could use for art making was paper bags. I was amazed at how many students were displeased with this assignment. All of them moaned and groaned at me. I was shocked.
I placed paper bags all around the room on the floor. I allowed the students to get to work, but instructed them to use the floor only. I felt that tables would restrict their imagination and space.
EVERY SINGLE STUDENT WAS ENGAGED. It was an amazing process to watch. The end of class came and no one wanted to leave.
I observed little minds turning and playing. I found that most of students lacked simple imagination and fun. I think that maybe they were scared to take a risk, or they didn't know how. I found that the project was a big success. I would stop the lesson anytime I saw a student using the material in a unique way. I had one students rolling strips of bag into rope so she could tie together items. I had others creating slits, slots and hinges.
The students had so much fun that they begged to do this again.
Here is the objective that I used for the day:
Know- Stretch & Explore
Understand- why and how artist use stretch and explore.
Be Able To-use imagination and play to stretch and explore using a paper bag.

That was the question that Regis Philbin would ask contestants on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" And it's the question AstraZenica put to Pfizer in the latest pharmaceutical mega-merger. So far, AstraZenica doesn't like Pfizer's answer. They want more money.
Mega-mergers are a funny business. Two giant organizations seek to combine operations and bring efficiencies and synergies to their businesses. Efficiencies can often come from combining accounting, finance, and other administrative functions, although that's not so simple with huge organizations. Synergies come as sales staff can offer related products, encouraging customers to find exactly what fits their needs. But it's easy to overestimate the benefits. So why are mega-mergers so popular?
In the past two decades mega-mergers have been routine among pharmaceuticals: Pfizer-Pharmacia ($60 billion), Merke-Schering Plough ($40 billion), Glaxo-SmithKline ($70 billion). Unlike many mergers, especially among technology companies, pharmaceutical mergers over this period have typically increased margins and expanded sales, adding to shareholder value.
Part of the reason is in the nature of the drug business. Bringing a new treatment to market is incredibly complex. There are tests and approvals and sales hurdles to overcome that require a lot of capital. As buyers of healthcare have consolidated through government policies and insurance-company mergers, it makes sense that providers would combine as well. And in this case, Pfizer would save billions by switching its home base to the UK, where taxes are lower.
Still, it's easy to overreach. You can't blame AstraZenica for wanting more. At some point, though, a high price makes a merger uneconomic. Pfizer has been pretty disciplined in its dealmaking in the past. For their shareholders' sake, let's hope they remain so.

Here's the harsh, unglazed truth about small business planning. The most astute plan imaginable for your small business will have no positive effect on anything measurable until it is properly implemented. Effective implementation of an average plan beats mediocre implementation of a perfect plan every time.
At Continuous Business Planning, we are committed to helping you get organised and to achieving your business goals. We do not want to shape your business in the image of the latest theory on organisational design or after the current idea of the month being paraded by consultants, who more often than not will not have the good grace to hang around for the consequences. We help your business grow using time tested methods that get great results in small businesses like yours and we stick around till your business arrives where you wanted to go.
So, what can we do for you?
- Lend Our Team to You
- Delegation of Non-Critical Recurring Tasks
- Project Management
- Business Process Reengineering
With our ongoing services available from £100 per month, and with our 500% return on investment promise, contact us today to help you make the most out of your small business.
Borrow Our Team
Small business owners have too many hats and not enough heads. That is why we are here to help you. Rather than be a martyr to your business, let us take some of the strain.
Without question, your project will not rise above the level of the team involved in its completion. We cannot overstate the importance of making sure the right tasks are being handled by the right people to achieve the best project results. Simply put, to achieve the best results, you need the very best people for the task to focus their attention on doing what they do best.
We have assembled a team at Continuous Business Planning that we absolutely depend upon for our business success. Some work exclusively for us, whilst others work with us on a project to project basis as they are needed but all of them are equally important in allowing us to do what we do.
We are confident that our regular team can help you meet the vast majority of business challenges you might face. If you want to outsource some or all of the work to be done as part of the projects we have planned together, we are very happy to get our hands dirty. Whether it's an hour's work for one person or a year's work for ten people, as and when you need extra manpower, the Continuous Business Planning team can help.
But what if your business is very different from ours and our people can't do a credible job for you? If this is true, then use our managed outsourcing service. Yes, you could outsource almost anything to other people yourself, but you first need to know how to provide accurate and complete instructions to the people you work with. You cannot expect freelancers to be business strategists. Their job is to do the work you tell them to do, not figure out what to do and why they need to do it a particular way. That's where we step in. Our managed outsourcing service benefits your business because
- We understand what it takes to get projects planned and finished
- We recognize skilled talent, and can spot a fake a mile away
- We can describe every project in great detail, so things get done right first time.
- We can spot potential legal problems, like copyright violations.
- We can efficiently run a project team that includes freelancers
- We make sure every project is on time, on budget, and of high quality
- We can tell you when you're asking for unnecessary tasks
There's no need for you to miss a customer deadline again, nor is there any excuse not to do what needs to be done in your business. If you want to access our brilliant team or use the power of managed outsourcing to grow your business, then call us or send us a message today.
Delegation of Non-Critical Recurring Tasks
Let's be honest with each other for a minute. Most of you workaholic small business owners waste a good proportion of the seventy to eighty hour weeks you are always complaining about, doing work that could very easily be delegated to somebody else. Yet you struggle on like the martyrs you are, unwilling and unable to let go of even the least critical task. You have no time to dedicate to the project work that will lift their businesses to the next level. Yet you struggle to relinquish some of the more mundane business tasks for which you are massively overqualified.
When you're a small business owner who prides yourself on doing everything on your own, delegation is hard. Your business is your baby and your blood; it seems unnatural to trust someone else to take over your responsibilities, whoever that person may be as there's no way they could do a task better or more thoroughly than you could. Or could they?
At Continuous Business Planning, we believe that a much overlooked part of business planning is deciding what each individual in each team should and, just as importantly, should not do. Are their routine and mundane tasks that are dragging you and your team down? Do we need to free up your time so that you, as the small business owner, can concentrate on leading your business from where it is now to where you want it to be?
As your business begins to grow, it's inevitable that you'll have to become comfortable with delegating tasks. It's impossible to think that you'll be able to continue to do everything in your business and still grow at the pace you want to. If you are unable to delegate within your small business organisation due to a lack of skill or expertise, we will help you successfully delegate outside of the business. We will help you:
- Identify the task.
- Assign the task.
- Train the employee.
- Track progress.
- Let go.
If you want more discretionary time, just to enjoy life more or to give you some time to concentrate on working on instead of working in your business, then call us or send us a message today.
Project Management
Managing a discrete project from project initiation throughout its lifecycle until project closure is a particular skill that many small business owners have had to learn through bitter trial and error. As experienced project managers and entrepreneurs themselves, our team of project managers here at Continuous Business Planning know how to give you the support you need.
Do you really need project management support? After all, nobody knows your business like you. Whilst this is undoubtedly true, the quality of the management of a project is critical to that projects outcome. If any of the following project problems sound familiar, then we believe we can help.
Are important project milestones missed with little advanced warning?
Are you frequently confronted by unforeseen schedule and cost surprises - most of which are negative?
Does everything take longer and cost more than originally estimated?
Are project status reports mostly for making excuses rather than describing solutions, containing only new or recently discovered problems or risks, and giving summary status updates that are generally unsupported by evidence?
Do you have current information on the most serious project risks, including their potential technical, cost or schedule impacts, their likely timing and early warning signs, and the risk mitigation plan proposed by the project team?
Regardless of stated forward progress, does it seem there is always more work remaining this month than there was last month?
When a problem arises, is it usually blamed on something or someone external to the project team?
If you've nodded your head more than once as you've read, here's specifically what we can do for you.
- Help plan your projects, from start to finish
- Find the best talent to handle the tasks
- Manage cross-team collaboration
- Train the team in exactly how you want things done
- Monitor your project(s) as they progress
- Communicate with the entire team
- Manage and enforce your deadlines
- Ensure the quality of all deliverables
At Continuous Business Planning, we believe the combination of our experienced project managers and the best in class online project management software that we use to help properly manage your projects is a recipe for project success.
If you believe you would benefit from our ongoing project management support, then call us or send us a message today.
Business Process Management & Reengineering
It's often said that "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." This isn't strictly true, but the fundamental point is sound. Businesses must eventually embrace change to become and remain successful.
At Continuous Business Planning, we are not advocates of "loose change" or flavour of the month initiatives. The truth is that there are excellent business reasons to avoid change. Established business processes give your business the chance to get really good at what it does through experience curve effects. Greater business efficiency normally translates into a better customer experience and higher profits. It is precisely to harness the power of the experience curve that we establish and hone business processes in the first place. However, in an ever changing business environment, what worked yesterday certainly will not work forever.
Establishing best practice business processes which are followed time and time again until practice has made perfect for every critical success factor for your small business is precisely how you get more than you have ever got before. However, there will come a time for every business when the market moves on. At that time, the processes that drove the success of the business need to be reassessed. At this point in your business story, the virtue of routinised replication is no longer helpful but a hindrance to the ongoing success of your small business.
If you are at the point where change is essential for the continued growth or survival of your small business, then you face one of the most difficult challenges that a small business owner can encounter. Establishing new business processes means learning new habits. This is not easy. And as change has uncertainty at its core, it is highly situation specific. There is no one recipe for successful change. However, our business process re-engineering service is built around a few core ideas that are applicable in every situation.
View Processes from the Customer's Perspective
By mapping and analyzing process in this way, you will be able to identify the flow and waste and also understand the impact that these have on your customer.
Measure What Matters To Customers
Only measure that which can show you your true performance from your customer's point of view. Many organizations have the wrong measures which can be detrimental to the quality of service.
Value Re-engineering
Re-designing your work by focusing just on the value work is part of the recipe to a sustainable and successful change program.
Our sole objective in business process analysis and re-engineering is to establish new best practice business processes which can be then be followed consistently with better outcomes for your small business and its customers.
If you are looking to reinvent the rule book in your company and take a quantum leap forward in performance, contact Continuous Business Planning today for a free consultation.

Kasya Design's retail design services are quite clearly geared towards one main purpose - designed to sell the product. Though our purpose is simple, our process is simply thorough, addressing everything from brand design, merchandising requirements, growth, functional requirements, consumer experience and retained experience expectations. Our Retail Interiors deliver the consumer into a true experience, allowing them to easily and intuitively discover what they need to see and serve them with a platter exciting and interesting visual stimuli.
Our organized approach to process makes the design experience a journey of discovery and allows opportunity for relevance analysis.
In addition to this inherent quality, our work will serve you and your project in many other aspects:
+ added value to property + great design adds value to any property both visually and functionally
+ customization to fit your needs + tailor the suit to fit the body and not the other way around
+ thorough communication and documentation + cost saving accommodations and complete documentation for the smoothest possible experience
Our retail design services include retail showroom design, which address all facilities intended for showcasing a product line. Included in this category are automotive showrooms, trade-only product showrooms, fashion showrooms, etc. Our approach to these retail spaces is from the angle of creating an aura, a lifestyle, a unique sense of the product's brand and its implied qualities.
More than any other form of retail design, showroom design invites the creation of a true environment. Unburdened by the vast amount of products and product types that require display and attention in most retain stores, retail showroom design embodies a less varied display of products and thus creates more space for environmental design. For us, retail and design are inseparable terms, as successful design can lead to successful retail. Of course, there are other factors contributing to a successful showroom, though it is difficult to argue with the notion that even the simplest of products gains an air of desirability when served on a beautiful silver platter.
>> Sample Designs
Our store design services are centered around a thorough approach that promotes optimum productivity. Our goal is to fulfill our given requirements and in the process discover the magical harmonies and balances that begin to arise from this natural fulfillment of the functional demands of the space.
When considered from the angle of brand longevity, retail store planning and design begins and ends with the consumer, and thus, their experience begins to guide the direction of our pen. As retail designers, we recognize this crucial influence and apply ourselves to the masterful generation of a complete experience, engaging, enticing and captivating the consumer, and in effect finding the best retail store design for the given space and conditions.
Our custom trade show booth designs are shaped to specificly address all functional and merchandising requirements you may have, and use these as the framework to build the styling upon. Given that trade shows design the impression of the influential buys, it is all the more critical to fashion the best trade show booth designs to leave the desired impression. It is our responsibility as your trade show booth designer to explore all the visual possibilities and consider all the realities (booth location, modular requirements, trade show design guidelines, lighting requirements and allowances) in the development of your custom trade show booth design. We task ourselves with value engineering each trade show display for optimum productivity and cost effective production. In addition to the exterior styling and documentation of your tradeshow booth, our services include design and specification of all the interior furniture, table top displays, lighting & retail fixtures, as well as signage & trade show banner design.

We've been clearing (or not) T9 content each week, so that's all cool. We've welcomed some great new folks to the guild as well as a really good old friend (Heya Mop, glad to have you back). Some of those we've taken into Ulduar 10 and I got to help on my favorite fight in the game for Lich King – the Iron Council. Then we went on to Freya and the DPS check bit us in the ass. I have some control in Iron Council by keeping folks alive. Freya needs the DPS to be on the spot and on target. Nothing I can do to help there except yell expletives over vent, which I choose not to do. Don't suck is my only advice to the DPS.
But I've become stuck on getting the Savory Deviate Delight recipe, which is the last cooking recipe I can get that I'm aware of (there's a Horde-only one I may need to send my rogue off to get). Been killing harpies in NW Barrens for days (I'm told they are the best farming spot), with no luck yet. Ah well, yet another obsession :)
As a result of a couple of MC and BWL runs recently, I am on the last leg of the Sceptre of the Shifting Sands quest and need only 2 more elementium ore. All the Dummies books are in and I have all the mats but two. Am almost flat broke getting them off the AH at 500-600 per. Thankfully, we have a BWL run scheduled for Friday. I really want to see how this thing ends. The bonus is that I am reassembling a T2 set (have shoulders, legs, chest and head (from pre-buff Ony) so I look the part now). Everyone agrees that the pally T2 was the best looking set in the game back in the day. The only missing visible bits are the gloves and belt so once I have those, and once that bastard Vael drops the frakkin' shield, I will be set.
Reset tomorrow, so more Ony, VoA and ToC 10. Hopefully the damn Faction Champs will cooperate more this week.

Foods That Fight Constipation
November 13, 2015
|J.R. and I hope you're well and adding natures super foods to your family's diet!
It's when information meets inspiration that a newsletter can help you lead a healthy and active life.
Knowledge is important when you have what it takes to become a healthier you!
Foods That Fight Constipation
Eating the right foods for constipation can be the best way to stop irritable, bloated feelings caused by intestinal blockage causes.
Almost all of us will suffer some form of constipation in our lifetime.
Though it is a very common condition, it is easily treated with the proper diet.
The American Dietetic Association suggests eating 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day.
In comparison, the average American only eats five to fourteen grams daily. There are plenty of readily available foods for constipation relief.
• Beans, Beans. The latest dietary guidelines recommend we triple our intake from one to three cups per week.
Just one cup of cooked beans provides 12 grams of fiber.
Nutritious choices are split peas, lentils, black beans, kidney beans, lima beans, and pinto beans.
• Whole Grains. The healthiest kinds of grains are whole grains since the essential parts of the natural occurring nutrients are intact.
Whole grains are foods that do not have the bran and germs milled out.
Whole grains to consume include: muesli, whole wheat, rye, amaranth, barley, buckwheat, corn, millet, oats and quinoa.
• Unprocessed Wheat Bran. Wheat bran is the outermost layer of the wheat berry and is one of the world's richest forms of fiber.
One cup of wheat bran provides about 99 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber making it a great constipation cure.
Add unprocessed wheat bran to baked goods for fiber and flavor.
Truly raw, "unprocessed" wheat bran is not toasted and must be stored in the refrigerator.
You can buy it at specialty stores and online.
• Un-refined Breakfast Cereals. In their natural state, breakfast cereal is an important source of dietary fiber.
Oatmeal and whole wheat hot cereal are a nutritious way to start the morning.
For cold cereals, look for varieties with the first ingredient listed as whole grain, whole wheat, oats, corn or bran, containing two grams of fiber per serving.
• Dried Fruit. Dried fruits are effective in pushing food out and stopping constipation.
The skin on dried fruits have fiber the body cannot breakdown plus sugars that cause the colon to push out the stool.
Eat prunes apricots, figs, cranberries, and apples for the perfect foods for constipation snack.
• Fresh Fruit. Fresh fruit is nature's laxatives that gently relieve constipation.
All fruits are easy to absorb and digest however the top fruits for constipation are berries, papaya, oranges, apples, bananas and pears.
Just one cup of blueberries contains 3.6 grams of fiber.
• Vegetables. Vegetables are full of fiber and prevent constipation.
All veggies are beneficial, but raw vegetables help more than cooked.
Even cooked, one cup of broccoli contains 5.2 gram of fiber.
Vegetables such as cauliflower, okra and spinach have the added benefit of lubricating the intestines easing bowel movements.
Gradually add foods for constipation to your diet while limiting high fat foods like cheese, meat, ice cream and processed food.
When increasing fiber it's important to drink the recommended 8 to 10 cups of water a day to aid digestion.

Le Mont St-Michel repels the English!
According to a 10th century manuscript the first shrine to Saint Michael was created at what is now Mont Saint-Michel after the Archangel Michael came to Bishop Aubert of Avranches in 708AD and commanded him to build a church on the rock. When the Bishop expressed doubts, the angel pierced a hole in his skull with his finger!
In the 10th century the Benedictine monks settled in the abbey, constructing the Romanesque abbey church with its high vaulted ceilings and moulded arches, monastery and crypts at the apex of the rock, whilst a village grew up below its walls at the bottom of the mount.
Through successive centuries of the Middle Ages and with increasing numbers of monks and pilgrims both the abbey and village were extended until in the 13th century they stretched down to the foot of the rock.
By the 14th century and the Hundred Years war, the abbey had to be protected behind a massive set of military ramparts, enabling it to hold out successfully through many English sieges lasting over 30 years and in doing so the Mount became a symbol of French national identity.
In 1421 the original Romanesque chancel (choir) of the abbey church collapsed and was replaced in the 15th century by a flamboyant Gothic structure, marking completion of the last major construction works at the mount. The abbey today is thus an exceptional example of the full range of medieval architecture.
Over the 16th and 17th centuries religious ideals waned and the number of monks dwindled until by 1790 the monastery was disbanded and the monks left the mount. This paved the way for the fortress to be turned into a prison in 1793, a situation which lasted through the days of the French Revolution and Empire until imperial decree in 1863 finally overturned the sacrilege.
In 1874 Mont Saint-Michel was designated as a French historical monument and major works have continued now for over a century to restore the mount to its former splendour, improving both the abbey interior and exterior. With the celebration of the monastery's 1000th anniversary in the year 1966, a religious community returned to the mount, perpetuating spiritual prayer and welcoming the mount's original vocation.

Abdominoplasty and liposuction means reduction of a marked layer of subcutaneous fat and skin in the abdominal area by means of a combination of abdominal liposuction – sucking out the fat – and of surgical removal of excess skin. Fat deposits usually form on the hips, in the area of the waist or sometimes even ribs. By removing fat by liposuction, the subcutaneous fat layer gets thinner and the overall condition is ameliorated. Abdominoplasty and liposuction surgery usually yields excellent overall results.
When does abdominal plastic surgery help?
Insufficiently firm or separated muscles have a negative impact on the shape of the abdomen. The content of the abdominal cavity, above all the fat tissue accumulated between the intestinal loops, so called visceral fat, participates in forming the abdominal shape as well. This type of fat deposit causes the classical belly bulge and the "apple-shaped" figure.
Abdominal plastic surgery predominantly deals with superficial tissues – muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin. It is not possible to operate inside the abdominal cavity on the so-called visceral fat; here, only natural weight-loss brings success.
How is abdominoplasty with liposuction performed?
The appropriateness of an approach combining abdominal plastic surgery and liposuction is decided by a plastic surgeon during a consultation with the patient.
Abdominal surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. After the abdominal surgery, hospitalization of about 2-3 days is needed depending on the extent of the procedure. Abodminoplasty and abdominal liposuction surgery itself is very similar to classical abdominoplasty.
Abdominal liposuction – no sooner than after the surgery?
In some cases it is suitable to use the liposuction technique for the correction of fat deposits only after the surgical procedure itself. Dividing the surgery into two phases is appropriate in situations, when a combined surgery would present a great burden for the patient. A several-month break decreases the risk of complications during healing in the postoperative period. Thus, liposuction of the abdomen represents an effective complementation to the surgical procedure itself.

Still sticking with that great Mediterrenean Diet-I am just not goin to give up. For the past week I have been jotting down recipes to test and coraling people to test taste them for me. I really could use at least three more days in the week and maybe make some new friends. Only kidding, because I have the greatest friends.
Monday I decided to play my version of the Food Networks program called CHOPPED. I just love that show because it is so creative. The format actually is a competetion between four chefs. The goal is for the chefs to create a three course meal by using mystery items in a basket for a $10,000.00 prize. Of course I am competing against myself the prize being dinner.
I searched the refrigerator, freezer, pantry and my stash on my shelves in the garage for items that I could possibly use and I began my adventure. A good bet was to make a soup that would fit into my new food guidelines. Well I always have vegetables and I came up with carrots, 2 baby zucchini, one half of a container of mushrooms, a handful of Italian tomatoes, 1 onion and 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 jar of black pitted olives and low an behold a package of cheese tortellini that I was going to use with my homemade pesto, but I never did because my grandson was visiting and he is allergic to nuts and I had used pine nuts in the pesto. Also I picked out some spinach leaves from some mixed greens that I had not used. I always have Kitchen Basic's Unsalted Broths on hand as well as olive oil, canola oil, all kinds of vinegars and herbs. Looking at all the items I collected, it was a no brainer that all of these various ingredients certainly could be combined to make a hearty Italian Tortellini soup.
This is not going to be a conventional way of writing a recipe, I am just going to tell you what I did.
First I used that crazy plastic onion chopper everyone was buying a few years back, It was one of the best gadgets that I bought. It chops all kinds of vegies in small uniform pieces. I use it several times a week. So that was the first step, chopping everything all in these small uniform pieces with the exception of the spinach, which I hand shredded. Using my favorite deep saute pan i added a couple of tablespoon of olive oil to sauted the carrots and onion until tender. Added the garlic and cooked for a few minutes.
I added a carton of Kitchen Basic's Unsalted Vegetable Broth to the saute pan as well as all the remaining ingredients except about 1 tablespoon of Red Wine Vinegar. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer until the pasta is tender. Add the vinegar which is optional.
This game is a fun thing to do at end of the week when you want to clean out your refrigerator and honestly you can come up with some great recipes. Serve with some crusty pulled apart bread and small bowls of olive oil for dipping. Don't forget the rosemary.
