Pierre Lacroix stepping down as Colorado Avalanche president; Joe Sakic elevated to exec VP
DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche are shaking up their front office, with Pierre Lacroix stepping down as team president after 18 seasons and two Stanley Cup titles.
The team announced Friday that Josh Kroenke will replace Lacroix, who will serve as an adviser. Former team captain Joe Sakic is also being elevated to executive vice president of hockey operations.
Over his career with the organization, Lacroix supervised the relocation of the team from Quebec to Denver and was the architect behind the championship teams in 1996 and 2001. He assembled a talent-rich lineup led by Sakic that captured nine straight division titles a decade ago.
The Avalanche have fallen on lean times, missing the playoffs for a third straight season.
The team fired coach Joe Sacco on April 28.

rollingtstores necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
I need first a logo that can help me brand my store so that when people see Rolling T Stores, they know what I am selling. It may even be something like "Target". It doesn't say what they sell, but you know due to the branding (okay, also the great advertising)
Rolling T Stores
I have a country general store (opened 6/12/65) and now I am moving more from the large farm animals to the pet venue (toys, clothing, accessories) along with flea, worm, shampoos for pets; and Lawn & Garden weed/insect killers, fertilizers, organic products, outdoor living.
I like fresh not automation looking. Even though this was an old time farm store: Rural America today is new and alive with "primitive" decor and it is not an actuality, it is a retrospect". Similar to the 50's or 60's trend. It is an icon of America at one of its highlights, moving forward!
It has energy!
Collectors are showing interest, and the baby boomer that lived the era. A nich and micro niche with potential.
The logo really needs to "pop" and be unique.
- Item 1...If you will look at my store colors at http://www.rollingtstores.com, I like that blend of color schemes-brown, marroon, salmon. Unless someone has a better idea
- Item 2 After the logo I will be needing a template
- Item 3 I don't know what my tagline would be yet, but will want one in the future.
- Item 1...I don't want it to look blunt like I sell electronics
- Item 2...I don't like frilly-I may be 53 not 83 :)
- Item 3...I don't know what else I don't like until I see it

Giant Pixy Stix
This isn't so much a review as a rewind. I've had Pixy Stix plenty of times before. I've been eating them for so long I don't even remember when I first tried them.
My earliest memory of the Giant Pixy Stix was at Little Buffalo State Park in Pennsylvania. We went up there for the day for swimming and general summer amusement with another family who lived in the area. They had an awesome array of swimming pools. At some point we were given quarters and allowed to go to the snack bar where I bought the most amazing thing I'd ever seen - a Pixy Stix that might have been as tall as me (I was probably about six at the time and a tiny thing at that). Okay, maybe it wasn't that big, but it seemed huge to me. It was grape.
It seems that Giant Pixy Stix are sold at swimming pool snack bars, because later when we moved back to Mechanicsburg, we had summer passes at the public pool and they had them there too. There's something about chlorine that makes me crave fake grape and pure sugar.
Here's a little history of the Pixy Stix:
Pixy Stix used to be made by Sunline which started in 1952 in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Pixy Stix started out as an accident really, with kids driving the development of the product. Originally it was a drink mix in the late 30s, sold as Frutola, but J. Fish Smith found that kids were eating the sweet & sour powder right from the package. He shifted the name to Fruzola and added a spoon. Later it was repackaged with a dipping candy stick as Lik-m-Aid and also sold in little straws ... Pixy Stix. It wasn't until parents complained about the grainy, sticky powder that Sunline came up with a compressed tablet form, the SweeTart in 1963.
Sunline was sold to Roundtree Mackintosh of the UK, which was then bought by Nestle. Nestle maintained the Sunline brand for a while and only recently has rolled the SweeTarts, Pixy Stix and Lik-m-Aid into the Wonka brand, which already had a strong line of sugar candy, such as Tart 'n Tiny, Nerds and Runts.
So, you're wondering about the Giant Pixy Stix? I did my due-diligence research and can tell you that a Giant Pixy Stix has slightly more than three tablespoons of candy powder in it which weighs in at one ounce. The Giant Pixy Stix are approximately 21 inches tall. (They might have been taller when I was a kid.)
The most frustrating thing about them is that they're hard to open. The traditional Pixy Stix is a paper straw and can be torn open, or unfolded. The Giant Pixy Stix are thick, flexible plastic and cannot be torn. I recall at the pool that they would snip it open for me, but there were times that I ended up just gnawing off the top.
Giant Pixy Stix currently come in four flavors: grape, Maui punch, cherry, and orange. The regular Pixy Stix also come in green apple (which used to be lime but was changed in 2001). The primary ingredient in Pixy Stix, not surprisingly, is dextrose. Dextrose is just a fancy way of saying glucose, which is a mono-saccharide. Dextrose is generally made from vegetable starches (corn syrup). Sucrose is what's makes up cane and beet sugar - it's a di-saccharide (it's made up of two molecules - one of fructose and one of glucose). It has a slightly different mouth feel. Some folks can actually tell the difference between fructose, dextrose and sucrose. Often you can feel the "cool" feeling of dextrose on the tongue.
So how do they taste? Well, if you've never had a Pixy Stix (and I met someone on Tuesday night who hadn't) it's rather like eating unprepared Jell-O or drink mix. It's sweet and cool on the tongue, with a tart bite and some flaky, grainy bits that seem to linger a little longer. There's not much flavor, but enough to be able to tell the difference, especially if you inhale the dust (not like snorting it, you know what I mean).
I don't eat Pixy Stix very often anymore; because of that dextrose thing they do go straight into the bloodstream and can cause pretty severe blood sugar crashes on an empty stomach to those of us who are sensitive to such things. But last night I responsibly had a nice, high protein dinner, and then ate my three tablespoons of Pixy dust out of the measuring cup. Yes, I just stuck my tongue in there. Yes, eventually my tongue had acid burns, but I kept eating. Yes, eventually I got a rather sour stomach, but I kept eating. I love my Pixy Stix. It's a good thing I don't buy them that often.
In the future, I think I'll stick to the regular paper straw ones. A little easier on the portion control. But I loved it when Pixy Stix were bigger than life.

BON(ne) INAUGURATION!

It's a very exciting day. ;-)ReplyDelete

to há um tempão pra te mandar,ou já mandei?não lembro.
olha que bonitas estas aquarelles!!!!!!
Yes, indeed! A wonderful day to celebrate for us all, Carol. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
- Micha12:06 PM
c' est feminin donc bonne inauguration, but it is a question of prononciation example un bon acteur that sounds like un bonne acteur but it is masculin so un BON acteur, you see. The reason is bon (on) acteur is difficult for the frensh ears, two sounds "on" and "a" without a letter like l, m, n, d, etc , it's a hiatus in frensh linguistic .ReplyDelete
But you know that, each language has its own allergy !

Happy Inauguration to you! I took the day off so I could watch all the festivities on our big HD TV. The crowds are amazing (I am from DC originally and wanted to go for this buy my husband talked me out of it). It reminds me of JFK's funeral, only joyous!ReplyDelete
I wish I were there with all these people!ReplyDelete
These and this was wonderful!!!!!ReplyDelete
And, of course, beautiful.
- from about.com8:03 PM
If you read the international section of the French news today, you might learn a new word: investiture (inauguration). Though the word inauguration exists in French, it's not used for people, but rather for a monument, road, or show. When talking about the first day of Barack Obama's presidency, you say le jour de l'investiture du président (inauguration day).ReplyDelete

What a wonderful day for our country! I know of over a dozen restaurants and pubs, in addition to Hotel de Ville's 800 spaces, filled with celebrant's of this historical occassion.ReplyDelete
We went to Carr's Pub near rue di Rivolit.
Around our table of 4 from the U.S., others from Turkey, Bosnia, Australia, Great Britain, France and Germany...
ALL cheering!
Did you have a fabulous day. I did, curled up on the Sofa watching this amazing moment in history. You as an American must be so proud. I mean have you ever studied Gordon Brown - YUK!ReplyDelete

There were a lot of highlights about this class. First of all, I got to see the guys I've worked with for several years now get selected and trained professionally by a nationally renowned technology training center. They were trained to teach other students in their barrio, and thanks to some huge corporate grants, will be paid for their expertise.
A project that Queso made in class was so good that he was selected to showcase it at a press release, where he and another fellow teacher from La Carpio made it into the national news. One interesting thing about that project is that I remember his idea for the project from several years ago when I first started teaching him; it wasn't until now that he finally found a way to make it a reality... and it's a pretty fun game!
So Queso's project got selected to be showcased. Next up, our guys got complemented for the progress they'd made with the students. Willy took the reins and led most of the classes during the 8 weeks, and last week the administrators of the program came to peek in on how we were doing. They said it was the best instruction site they'd seen so far. They were very impressed. This was encouraging to hear, because the classroom that began getting a face lift back in January (see the previous post) now really looks like a classroom - all the machines are working and optimized, the walls are painted with a verse about the renewing of our minds on the wall, the projector is up and running, and the air conditioning works without flooding the classroom. Just walking into the room makes you imagine the possibilities.
I can't brag enough about our guys, they've stood out in more ways that I could have ever imagined.
In other news, our Learning Technologies Costa Rica Team shared at the church I attend two weeks ago. My boss, Mauricio, talked about changes and developments in Latin American missions. Which is quite an interesting topic, really. My ideas and experiences of missionary work have been shaped in unique ways through my three years here in Costa Rica, especially by seeing how nationally-led missionary outreaches work. In many ways we've worked through that reality as a team, and so it was cool to be able to share about the different things we do at our church. In the photo is our entire office team.
A couple of other learning experiences for me show up in the photos that I post on-line. I attended a robotics class for educators (the students were getting ahead of me and I felt like I was getting left behind). Next I attended the first Latin American conference on "Scratch", the educational programming tool we use in our classes. It was pretty interesting to be a part of the exchange with other Latin American educators. And finally, I visited a partner ministry in Honduras that hopes to create a learning lab similar to the one in La Carpio... with a few additional challenges and tweaks.
And finally, another learning experience on the horizon is the final year of the applied anthropology masters degree I'm doing on-line. This experience studying on-line has been a fascinating complement to the work and cross-cultural experience I've had here in Costa Rica. So much of it relates directly to what I am doing. As an example, you might want to check out the 15-minute oral presentation/report I created about "environmental justice" issues in La Carpio.

Warner Music Orders Videos Pulled from YouTube
Warner Music Group (WMG) has ordered that all of its videos be pulled from YouTube after the record company failed and video site failed to reach an agreement over the licensing of Warner Music content.
"We are working actively to find a resolution with YouTube that would enable the return of our artists' content to the site," WMG said in a statement. "Until then, we simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide."
"Despite our constant efforts, it isn't always possible to maintain these innovative agreements," according to a YouTube blog post. "Sometimes, if we can't reach acceptable business terms, we must part ways with successful partners."
In September 2006, WMG was the first record company to reach a licensing deal with YouTube.
The announcement came several weeks before YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion.
That same day, Google announced an extension of the Warner-YouTube deal that let YouTube users stream WMG's music video collection via an ad-supported revenue sharing agreement with Google - as well as similar licensing deals with Universal Music and Sony BMG.
Warner declined to provide specific details about what it wants from YouTube. The label is currently home to artists like Linkin Park, Green Day, Josh Groban, Faith Hill, and My Chemical Romance.
"Music licensing is very complicated," according to YouTube. "The right to use a single song often requires permission from multiple owners, particularly when it comes to original fan-made videos that incorporate commercial music."
YouTube users who receive takedown notices regarding Warner content "will have a couple of options to choose from in order to keep your original video creations up," YouTube said, including swapping the music out with pre-cleared music from Audioswap.
On the TV front, YouTube reached a content sharing deal with NBC Universal in June 2006, but that fell apart in October 2007 prior to the launch of the Hulu.com, a joint venture between NBC and News Corp.
YouTube is still battling a $1 billion copyright suit filed by Viacom in March 2007.

Coltsfoot Leaf (Tussilago farfara)Latin Name: Tussilago farfara
Common Names: Coltsfoot Leaf
The Tussilago farfara is a wild flowering plant native to Eurasia that was introduced to the Western Hemisphere by settlers over the past 3-4 centuries. More commonly known as Coltsfoot (leaf of this plant resembles a young horse's hoof), Tussilago farfara looks a great deal like the common dandelion, but grows quite differently. Like many organic bulk herbs, Tussilago farfara is edible.
Traditionally, Coltsfoot Leaf has had many uses. Amazingly, the dried Coltsfoot Leaf was actually "smoked" - in other words, this medicinal herb was put in a pipe from which patients would draw the fumes into their lungs. Needless to say, this method of ingesting Coltsfoot Leaf likely did more harm than good; however, dried Coltsfoot Leaf is still used in herbal smoking blends as a tobacco substitute.
Other reported uses of Tussilago farfara involved crushing the flowers and making a poultice that is applied to the skin.
Trained herbalists note that Coltsfoot leaf contains mucilage, tannins and zinc. However, the alkaloid substances naturally occurring in the organic herb means that in large doses, Tussilago farfara can be potentially poisonous; people with a history of liver disorders should avoid Coltsfoot Leaf.
Those who buy organic bulk herbs are nonetheless well advised to consult with a trained herbalist or naturopathic doctor before using Coltsfoot Leaf.
Warning: For external use only. Not to be used during pregnancy. Not to be used while nursing. Do not apply to broken or abraded skin.

You failed to mark off the double bogey on hole 18 in the penalty box
I barely remember the round thanks to all the fun I had. I don't remember where 18 is even.

The Art of Home Based Business
Can you give me inspiration?
Hi and thanks for coming to my brief. I truly hope you can help me!
I have been a business coach for the last 5 years and launching a new buisness that specifically helps people in their own home based business.
THE EXCITING STUFF: I have a book deal ! Yes, I have a New York Publisher and my book is due out early next year.
This logo will be used in my book to promote my website, used on website, blog, twitter, offline in stationary, DVDs, workshops (and banners), twitter, youtube, etc. So there will be further work available after logo design.
Home based business owners. They are Entrepreneurs and looking to make a change in their life. They are probably on the search for financial freedom, wealth and choices in their life. Looking for a work/life balance.
To be honest, I am not sure what I am looking for technically.
* Needs to look good in colour and black and white.
* Needs to be expandable for other uses as stated in overview.
* Clear and easy to read/identify
The reason it is called 'The Art of Home Based Business' is that I think there is a real art to making a business work from home and being a success. I am more than happy for a design to 'play off' that Art factor.
(** I had this idea of a house - abstract sort of - that has been painted with a wide paintbrush - maybe the paintbrush is still in picture. You might have a better idea?)
It needs to be professional. If you do a search for home based businesses on the internet, there is a lot of junk that comes up. This is a legitimate business that helps people in all types of home based business (not just internet based) so needs to appeal to the offline ones as well as online.
I hope this has given you some insight. I am more than happy to give feedback as soon as I can on designs.
Thanks again !

There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
There is no stronger love in the world than the love of a parent for their child. One of the hardest, most bittersweet things a parent will ever do is wave goodbye as their child goes off to college.
Many advisors at UH Hilo are parents too. We value the role you have entrusted in us with providing the support, guidance and mentoring needed for your son or daughter to succeed in college. The completion of their degrees will open them up to a world of possibilities. A strong, supportive advising component lays the foundation for all successes to come.
The basics
We believe so.
Many things can factor into a student's ability to graduate in 4 years. Some of these factors may include placement into certain required classes as well as completion of prerequisite courses necessary for certain majors.
Good advising can provide an understanding of the unique situation of each student and articulate the steps and commitment required to graduate in four years. Good advising is important to us and we strongly embrace the key role it plays in helping your son or daughter reach their goals -- the ultimate being graduation.
Not necessarily. While there are certain benefits to knowing exactly what you want to do at UH Hilo, there are also many instances of students choosing a major without without fully understanding what the major can offer them.
Every student holds a unique set of possibilities. Yet as a young person, the pressure to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life can be daunting. We do know that there are certain benefits to exploring different majors. Sooner rather than later however, it is best to choose a major to create a pathway of purpose – one that allows the student to feel connected to their UH Hilo journey, and for that journey to be connected to their lives after graduation.
Advisors at the Advising Center specialize in helping undeclared students find a major and/or career pathway in addition to assisting current students with declared majors who may be thinking of a major change.
UH Hilo strives to increase the number of students who graduate in four years. The coursework a student completes in their first semester and beyond in college greatly impacts this goal. To help maximize student success, UH Hilo launched a new way to register for classes in Fall 2017 called the GPS Registration System. All UH Hilo students will be registering in academic courses for all of their semesters at UH Hilo based on the student's declared major. The semester's schedule will be designed to help give students the best pathway they need to receive their baccalaureate degree in four years.
The best advice you can offer your son or daughter is to act sooner rather than later. For many different reasons, students often wait until late in the semester to address things they should have done earlier. College life and the courses they are taking can pose many different challenges that even the best high school students can find unavoidable.
Some students may feel embarrassed to ask for help. Others may have the firm belief that they just might pull off a good grade if they only spend more time studying. That may be true, but oftentimes there are other factors contributing to low performance. To address these factors, we offer several different academic support programs on campus (see below).
Meeting with an adviser may also be a good first step. Again, acting sooner rather than later, is always the best approach to take when the road begins to get a bit bumpy.
There are many tutoring and support services available for our students. best of all, they are free to use.
Kilohana Academic Support Services provides tutoring services on a walk-in basis in a variety of subjects provided at their three main centers:
There are also academic and support services that tailor to specific student groups:

You Can't Be Serious: The Worst Flops Of 2011
Womp, womp….
2011 brought us many great products that will make our lives easier, more interactive, and more productive. Everything from Apple's iPhone 4S with SIRI, to 3D televsions, and intuitive, touchscreen home thermostats all rank amongst the top of the best products of the year. However, there are also a whole host of products that were just terrible, non-functional, overly expensive, pieces of crap, and this post is dedicated to them.
Flip the pages to peep some of the worst of the worst…
Ashley Push-Up Triangle
Abercrombie & Fitch
The folks at A&F thought it would be a good idea to make a padded push-up bikini top for girls 8-14, unfortunately, most parents didn't agree. Little girls don't need to feel like they have breasts, bottom line. Lord knows there are plenty of perverts out there that don't need any encouragement…
Everything was fine until NetFlix decided to fawk it all up. When the decision was made to separate the online-streaming and the physical DVD rental services, along with a price increase, all hell broke loose. Qwikster was supposed to be the rebranded, new and shiny way to rent DVDs but the dedicated NetFlix users weren't feelin' it which led the mucky-mucks to pull the plug on the idea before it even got off the ground.
General Motors
The Volt was supposed to be a way for GM to save themselves from the impending doom of a failing auto industry. The excitement for the new 100% electric car was so high in-house that GM even released it months ahead of schedule, but they overestimated the public demand. In July, only 125 of the eco-cars was sold, and to make matters worse GM is under investigation for fires that were cause due to flaws in the car's battery…
HTC Status
AT&T and HTC
Someone thought having a phone with a dedicated Facebook button to share your every waking move with friends, families and stalkers would be appealing to younger users. That someone was wrong. Practically every phone in existence right now has an app for Facebook so there is really no strong motivation to own this phone.
RIM (Research In Motion)
The race to compete with the ubiquitous iPad was on and poppin' in 2011, a few tablets made a case for themselves, but the RIM (makers of BlackBerry) Playbook was NOT one of them. Terrible apps, change in consumer expectations, and price have all been excuses as to why this product has not sold well and after losing almost $500 million in discounts trying get the devices off the shelves it looks like this is one of the electronic gizmos that will go extinct in 2012.
Fiat 500
Even Jennifer Lopez and all that big ol' a$$ couldn't sell American's one of Fiat's lil a$$ cars. Ford CEO Alan Mulally had this to say about Fiat:
"I do not see large market in the U.S.A. for a smaller car than the Fiesta. Those that tried failed."
Call him a hater, but he hit the nail on the head. Fiat expected to sell upwards of 50,000 cars in 2011 and as of July they had sold less than 12,000.

Mars Needs Moms
This Avatar chaser cost $175 million and in it's first week of release this stinker only brought in $6.9 million, you do the math. Worldwide Moms lost $130 million, there is no doubt that someone lost their job behind this one.

Minnesota Exports Reach 1st Quarter Record
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota's exports reached a first-quarter record of $4.9 billion, but growth has been slowed by economies in Asia and a European debt crisis.
The Department of Employment and Economic Development says growth in the quarter is just 2 percent compared to the same period a year ago. It compares with a U.S. growth rate of 9 percent.
Manufacturing accounts for the biggest chunk of exports during the quarter, with $4.5 billion in sales. Asia is Minnesota's biggest customer, accounting for 35 percent of all sales, followed by North America and the European Union.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says state exports to Asia were flat at $1.7 billion.

Web-based, open-source collections management software for museums and more.
CollectionSpace is a dynamic community of professionals working in the arts, humanities, social, and natural sciences. We collaborate to design, develop, and share a platform for collections information management that: supports traditional collections management activities; enables the integration of emergent and dynamic new technologies into the information ecologies of museums; and is an effective and affordable alternative to one-off applications developed in-house and proprietary offerings. CollectionSpace is freely distributed under the ECLv2 license.
To learn more about CollectionSpace, a great place to start is the Current Release Documentation.
With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, CollectionSpace was developed by a network of North American and European partner organizations led by Museum of the Moving Image (MMI) in New York, which originated the project, and the University of California, Berkeley. The Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Art Denmark) in Copenhagen and Walker Art Center in Minneapolis have been involved in CollectionSpace planning, design, development, and governance since 2008. In addition to MMI and UC Berkeley, the Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies (CARET) at the University of Cambridge and the Fluid Project at OCAD University in Toronto developed the application's underlying software architecture. The Institute of Museum and Library Services, through a National Leadership grant, made possible the development and testing of software configurations that serve specific collection types, including fine arts and native digital media.

Is she crazy, or isn't she?
The only way to tell is to watch "Night Watch," a classic suspense thriller, in a dessert or dinner theatre presentation by Bryan's Hilltop Players January 31 – February 5 in Brock Hall.
Jared Cole, who is directing the production, said "Night Watch" is the story of Elaine Wheeler, heiress to a great fortune, who thinks she witnesses a murder in a tenement behind her New York brownstone. "This sets into motion a series of events and confrontations as she struggles with whether she saw something or whether it was a figment of her imagination. She slowly degenerates to a sense of insanity or delusion," Mr. Cole said.
This year the Hilltop Players have presented "The Oedipus Story," a Greek tragedy, and "Scrooge! The Musical," an adaptation of "A Christmas Carol," and plan to produce Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the spring.
"The other plays we have done or will do are classics that people know well, but they are period pieces. We wanted to do something more modern, contemporary so we can have something visually different," he said. "For a dessert theatre we were looking for either something funny or a murder mystery that gets the audience thinking they have to solve the mystery."
"Night Watch" will be presented at 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, except for a dinner theatre production on Friday, which will begin at 6:30 p.m.

AT&T the wors carrier in USA, T-Mobile, in 4th place
Consumer Reports is out with its latest survey of cell phone service by its members, and AT&T is now ranked as the worst in the country, as well as the worst in Houston. T-Mobile is in 4th place.. what happened with you T-Mo?
"We take this seriously and we continually look for new ways to improve the customer experience. The fact is wireless customers have choices and a record number of them chose AT&T in the third quarter, significantly more than our competitors. Hard data from independent drive tests confirms AT&T has the nation's fastest mobile broadband network with our nearest competitor 20 percent slower on average nationwide and our largest competitor 60 percent slower on average nationwide. And, our dropped call rate is within 1/10 of a percent – the equivalent of just one call in a thousand – of the industry leader."
What about cellphone:
The January issue also ranks smartphones and traditional cell phones, sorted by carrier. At the top of the list for smartphones:
• Apple's iPhone 4 and Samsung's Captivate tie for first place at AT&T with 76 points
• Motorola's Droid X and Samsung's Fascinate tie for tops at Verizon with 75 points
• Samsung's Epic 4G for Sprint, with 76 points
• Samsung's Vibrant for T-Mobile, 76 points

The season-long plague of injuries spread from the pitching side where Cliff Lee hit the DL with elbow soreness to the hitting side where Prince Fielder was lost for the season to neck surgery.
Then Nolan Arenado became the latest to get hurt on a head-first slide, fracturing a finger sliding into second base on Friday. The Rockies third baseman was having a breakout season that he'll have to wait about a month before trying to continue.
Fantasy owners' mettle is tested at times like these, as your depth and ability to plug holes becomes extremely important.
There are some players who will be benefitting from these injuries that you should give a look – Mitch Moreland, who becomes the everyday first baseman in Texas with Fielder out, and Josh Rutledge, who will likely soak up a majority of the at-bats opened up in Colorado.
Moreland hasn't done much since a big start to last season, but maybe this opportunity to play every day and hit in the middle of the Rangers lineup will make him someone that can help fill the void left by Fielder's injury.
Another possible Fielder replacement is Garrett Jones, who is 16-for-36 (.444) with three homers and 10 RBIs in his past 10 games.
Rutledge is interesting because of his power-speed mix and getting to play half his games in Coors Field. First the Rockies will have to decide to move D.J. LeMahieu over to third base to open second base for Rutledge, because Charlie Culberson has been the initial fill-in at third base. But Rutledge was recalled from Triple-A, where he was hitting .333 with a homer and three steals in 15 games, on Saturday and will at least get his fair share of playing time.
Rutledge was dynamite in his Rockies debut in 2012 with eight homers and seven steals in 73 games before slumping last year, but in 630 career plate appearances he has 16 homers and 19 homers for Colorado.
Looking ahead at the coming week, we have a stuffed schedule with 20 teams that will be playing seven games. This gives weekly owners plenty of pitchers who will have two-start weeks to take advantage of.
The ace of the week is Yu Darvish, who gets away from his hitter-friendly home ballpark in Texas to face the Twins and Nationals on the road.
The sleeper of the week is Tyler Skaggs, the Angels' talented lefty who gets two starts in pitcher-friendly ballparks in Seattle and Oakland.
The breakout player of the week is Domonic Brown, the Phillies outfielder who has been showing signs of life after a slow start and has a very favorable schedule. The fly in the ointment is that Brown left Saturday's game with back spasms, but let's assume he gets back in the lineup by Monday. The Phillies face five right-handers, the best of whom has a career 5.09 ERA (Jordan Lyles), so the left-handed Brown should feast.
Stud and dud of the week
Michael Brantley: The Indians outfielder is having a breakout season, highlighted by a monster performance in the past week – 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers, eight runs, eight RBIs and three steals. There are still some doubters out there, so you may be able to pry him away from an owner not believing Brantley can keep this up.
Justin Masterson: This Indian is going in the opposite direction, getting hammered in both his starts this past week to the tune of 15 hits and 12 runs in 10 innings (10.80 ERA) with eight walks. Masterson runs hot and cold, so you should stash him on your bench to whether this storm.

ID is the Book Page Record: The number code kew=Keweenaw Clerk, the first number after
kew is the volume number, p=page number, r=record number on that page.
All spellings are those that are found on the county clerk's records.
If you find yours and there is an incorrect spelling please don't ask to change
the spelling as these are the ones that are contained on the records themselves.
The current records had very tiny, and cramped writing which is making some
of the letters and words nearly impossible to read. I have been scanning
and blowing the image up to a larger (huge) size and it seems to be helping.
When letters were impossible to read or questionable as to what they were -
is in the place of the letter.
For earlier marriage records (pre-1867) go to Houghton Co. records as
Keweenaw was part of Houghton Co.

Rising Cost of Candy - A Brief Study of Hershey Prices
It was big news this month when Hershey Co. announced that it was raising its wholesale candy prices by 11%. This is the second price jump for them this year, in January they raised prices by 13% for select products in their line as well.
Most of this is due to increased cost across the board. Rising fuel prices in all sectors means that it costs more to buy energy to operate their factory candy kitchens, air condition their warehouses and drive trucks around. Add to that the biggest change, the raw materials cost more because of their vast distances from the Pennsylvania confectioner on top of their actual costs which have risen 20% - 45% this year alone.
The falling value of the dollar hasn't helped much either, as all cocoa products are imported and there is more competition for quality cocoa beans. Even though they've trimmed their workforce within the past 18 months, rising health care costs are a huge burden for companies lately as well.
The change in the wholesale price for Hershey Co. is different than their tactics in the past when dealing with this sort of volatility. It seems kind of quaint now how Milton S. Hershey tried to lock down his costs by entering into long term buying deals for cocoa beans and even building his own sugar plantations in Cuba (and a community named Hershey there too, complete with schools, libraries and a railroad system). Back then attempts were made to keep the price of the candy the same, so they would change its size as needed.
The green line at the top represents the size of the chocolate bars (shown in grams). It's easy to see that through the early years the price of the bar increased steadily (though slowly) but the size of the bar sold was volatile, even when taking the price per ounce into consideration. Oddly enough, the bar did become a better value quite often, both growing in size and dropping in price, though that trend ended after WWII and shortages and price swings in raw materials normalized.
Often though when the price went up, so did the size of the bar as a way to offset the perception of poor value.
The trend more recently, in the past 20 years though, has been to keep the bar the same size but simply raise the prices as needed. This means that things like slots in store shelves, wrappers, nutrition panels and manufacturing equipment stays the same.
While the icon of Hershey's Milk Chocolate is fun to use as a benchmark, what is important to recognize is that Hershey's doesn't just play with the size and price of their products. They also change the manufacturing process (Hershey's no longer roasts their own beans or processes them into chocolate liquor, they've subcontracted that to Barry Callebaut), alter how long products are conched and lately have even started substituting substandard ingredients. In 2006 Hershey's began using PGPR, which is an emulsifier and extender, in some of their milk chocolate products, but it wasn't until this year that it finally appeared in the formula for the Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar.
To demonstrate how else Hershey's has begun to cut corners, I only needed to look at Hershey's classic Hershey's Miniatures to discover that two of their iconic and early chocolate brands, Mr. Goodbar and Krackel, are no longer chocolate bars at all. Hershey's was a strong and vocal supporter of The Grocery Manufacturers Association's attempt to change the definition of chocolate from its present and not terribly stringent one (chocolate must contain cocoa solids and cocoa butter and no additional vegetable oils). In order to get chocolate products from Hershey's now, consumers have to opt for their premium lines like Bliss and Cacao Reserve or pay true premium prices for their Dagoba or Scharffen Berger product lines.
Other changes to Hershey's products over the past three years include:
Other products which have never been real chocolate (so you're not confused):
Hershey's has not completely made this switch over and their website still contains erroneous graphics and text that mislead consumers (UPDATE: I've documented more of that here), as an example, the 5th Avenue bar has not been made with a milk chocolate coating since at least early 2007, yet the main product listing and the product page still say that it is a milk chocolate & crunchy peanut butter. I cannot say if this is intentional, but based on my experience with calling Hershey's customer service hotline and emailing them, they do not seem to understand that consumers should get up-to-date and accurate information when contacting a manufacturer.
While Hershey's seems to be concentrating a great deal of effort on honing their efficiency, based on the fact that they're subcontracting, eliminating factories and a percentage of their workforce while manufacturing more in Mexico, they seem to have neglected their primary mission: making good chocolate. Milton Hershey was often derided for not embracing advertising for his products. He said, "Give them quality, that's the best kind of advertising in the world." But presently they're advertising quality with their new Pure Chocolate campaign but neglecting to actually deliver it.

Dayton Eyes $975 Million In Construction Projects
ST. PAUL, (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he is considering a state construction bill of $975 million, which is higher than prior expectations.
Dayton met Wednesday with key legislators involved in assembling the public works borrowing bill. He says a recent economic forecast showing a budget surplus gives the state more room to offset debt on projects.
Lawmakers have been inundated with $2.4 billion worth of requests. Dayton says the Capitol upgrade will require $125 million in next year's bonding bill. The state's prison system and sex offender treatment facilities also have steep needs. The Democratic governor will submit his formal proposal in January.
The bonding bill requires a three-fifths majority to pass, so Democrats must win over Republican votes. The specter of nearing or breaching $1 billion always proves politically challenging.

When Leesville Road back-up goalkeeper Zaria Maynard went down with an injury early in the second half of a scoreless game at Millbrook Wednesday, Pride soccer coach Paul Dinkenor walked onto the field and huddled with his players.
The Pride lost starting keeper Sydney Wooten earlier in the year to a concussion, and with just 12 field players available for the Cap Eight matchup, Dinkenor went for the luck of the draw.
"We did rock, paper, scissors. ... I said 'I have no idea. I am completely at a loss for what to do,'" Dinkenor said.
Senior McKenna Crenshaw was the lucky Pride player put in goal for about 10 minutes before Maynard returned with the scoreboard still blank on both sides.

Maynard's return was critical for the Pride, who are now without five starters after losing Madison Hoffman earlier in the game.
"It was terribly hard for us today to use one of our top players, Madison Hoffman, hopefully she'll be back. I think she's OK, but that was a huge loss for us," Dinkenor said. "She's really our only veteran in the back, but we fought hard. We fought hard with what we had."
Leesville Road (3-1-2, 2-0-1 Cap Eight) fought hard enough to force a 0-0 tie with defending Cap Eight champion Millbrook and retain the Pride's seat atop the conference heading into spring break..
"We never really looked like we were going to score, but I feel like a tie with 12 field players and we have out on the field four returning players from last year, I felt like a tie was all we could hope for," Dinkenor said.
For Millbrook (5-3-1, 4-1-1), the result was more disappointing after having already lost a conference game to Wakefield.
"I think what this does is it makes it so we're no longer in control of what we can do," Millbrook coach Matt Edwards said. "If we had won tonight it would have kind of been up to us to just finish it out. Now we're going to need them to stumble. ... We're still a long way from where we want to be, but nobody's going to give us anything, and unfortunately we're going to hope somebody gives us something or else we're not going to win the conference in the regular season."
Millbrook controlled the ball early on, going straight at Maynard in the first minute with a shot from Colleen Markey that scooted to the right of the goal. The Wildcats retained control for much of the game, but continuously came up short, forcing overtime play.
Cailyn Boch's header in the 98th minute made it to the goal line before being cleared by Leesville Road's Caroline Smith.
"If you don't score you don't win, and I think to their credit it was their fault that we didn't score, but I don't know that we were that sharp tonight," Edwards said. "I think that they pressured us enough out there. They're a resilient group. They clearly have obviously battled through a lot of adversity this year, and they're still first in the conference. I think there's a lot to be said for that."
Both teams began the season ranked among the top 50 in the nation by Student Sports. They are scheduled to play again April 28 at Leesville Road.

It's hard to be optimistic about the prospects for comprehensive immigration reform when you talk to House Republicans. My conversations suggest that if anything passes the House, it will most likely be small, bite-sized morsels of largely noncontroversial ideas—lowest-common-denominator items that bear little resemblance to the sweeping immigration measure that passed the Senate on June 27.
I recently asked a very smart House Republican to rate the prospects for immigration reform in the chamber on a scale of zero to 100—with zero meaning the House passes nothing in this Congress and 100 meaning it approves the Senate-passed comprehensive plan. The answer was 35. In my view, a 35 would represent something along the lines of the Dream Act, legislation that would provide legal status to those who came to the United States as undocumented children and have gone on to college or joined the military. A version of the Dream Act passed the House in 2010, when Democrats controlled the chamber, but it failed to clear the Senate. House Republicans are working on a new version of the measure, which could be more restrictive than the 2010 legislation in terms of the number of immigrants who qualify. And even a restrictive version could be too ambitious for this House.
In February, Speaker John Boehner referred to the concept of doing something for children, without addressing the specifics of the Dream Act, as "worthy of consideration." He recently said, "This is about basic fairness," and, "These children were brought here by no accord of their own, and, frankly, they're in a very difficult position. And I think many of our members believe that this issue needs to be addressed." House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said, "It's an issue of decency, of compassion," and asked, "Where else would these kids go?" As reasonable and logical as Boehner and Cantor may sound on these points, even these relatively innocuous statements may be getting a little ahead of the House Republican Conference.
The listening session that Boehner recently held, giving all GOP House members a chance to speak their mind on immigration, gave some reform advocates hope that something like the Dream Act might pass. Chances are better than even, however, that Democrats would spurn such a modest proposal as an empty gesture. (Cynics would argue that some Democrats would rather have immigration reform as a campaign weapon than make modest progress on the issue.)
Another very smart and wired-in Republican, a veteran of well over three decades in Washington, pointed out to me that the Republican support in the Senate for the comprehensive measure represented a minority of the minority (14 of 46 Republicans) and that those 14 GOP senators have little in common ideologically or stylistically with House Republicans, while the Senate Republicans who opposed it—including the leadership—are more in tune with the House rank and file. This suggests that nothing close to the Senate bill will pass the House or even survive a House-Senate conference committee.
What if House Republicans approved an immigration bill that included, for example, elements of the Dream Act, along with scaled-down, less-expensive border-security spending than in the Senate bill, and visa reform for high-tech and high-education workers and certain other groups, such as specialty construction workers, who are in short supply? That would add up to about 35 on the zero-to-100 scale. Senate Republicans need something to pass, not for the midterms (they have no incumbents up for reelection who are in danger in any states where immigration is a dominant issue) but to get the issue off the table before 2016 when they have 24 Senate seats at risk, compared with the Democrats' 10. Immigration could be problematic for some potentially vulnerable GOP senators. Moreover, the Republican Party needs to deal with the issue before the presidential race heats up. This is an issue that GOP leaders need to see in their rearview mirror in 2016, rather than dealing with it as election fodder.
But all of this high-minded stuff—that Republicans need to get the immigration issue off the table if they want to win and hold a Senate majority or win the White House—matters little to many GOP House lawmakers who sit in very white, very conservative congressional districts and who have much more to fear from a conservative primary challenger than from a Democrat. Anything that even remotely smacks of "amnesty for illegal aliens" is a 30-second television ad or a 60-second radio spot that none of them want to hear in their districts. Many of these members might not actually mind if the House passes something on immigration, as long as it's done without their votes. The last edition of Profiles in Courage has already gone to press.
In the end, the critical question may be whether Democrats would go along in conference with a "Dream Lite" measure—a Republican baby step toward immigration reform, representing all that is possible in the realities of internal GOP politics today—or whether they would prefer to use immigration and, specifically, failure to pass a comprehensive reform law as a club to beat Republicans in 2014 and 2016. My bet is, Democrats will demand far more than House Republicans can possibly deliver.

EasyLunchboxes: grown-up lunches
It's quite boring, my apologies in advance. ;-)
His EasyLunchboxes container holds:
- sandwich (Boar's Head bologna, cheddar cheese, homemade mayo on white-wheat bread)
- homemade spicy pickles
- fresh peach slices and cherries
Bonus bento, for your viewing pleasure ;-)... one of my lunches from a couple weeks ago that I never posted (I actually have a huge batch of my lunches I never posted...they are just all so boring to look at, LOL). :)
In my EasyLunchboxes container I had:
- sandwich (peppered turkey, white cheddar, mustard and spinach on whole grain bread)(obviously my husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to sandwich preferences, LOL)
- organic baby carrots
- Garden of Eatin' Blue Corn Chips (YUM!)
Just a head's up - EasyLunchboxes are on the verge of selling out!! If you have been thinking of ordering but have been putting it off...you might want to place your order sooner, rather than later! Once the current stock is gone they will be out of stock for awhile. I'd hate for anyone out there to miss out! :)

But if all my meals looked this neat and clean and sort of retro with your lovely placemats, I'd be in heaven. Boring? Not at all.

Mandy, they do look similar, I agree. The difference is in quality. EasyLunchboxes are just as sturdy and solid as regular "Tupperware" type containers. Any disposable container I've had in the past never lasts very long, and they get warped in the dishwasher. I've been using the EasyLunchboxes since April and they are still like new. I even wash them on the bottom rack of the dishwasher (lids too).
If you are interested in seeing a little side-by-side comparison of the Ziploc version to the EasyLunchboxes, check this out:

Boo on thi Ick - isn't that supposed to hold off until at least mid-fall? I found your site via Design Mom and am hooked on Bento - as of about 3 days ago. Between TJ Maxx home section and ebay, I've stocked up on some nifty supplies and the kids and I have spent some time browsing your lunches for ideas. They'll be making their lunches w/ me and I now have hopes that they will be excited about the process! Thank you for all the great tips and recipes (just made the granola bites & featured them and a link to you on my site).

I'm a brand new reader (as in just starting today) and I LOVE your blog! But my question is that if you're making super cute shapes, what happens to the rest of the food that gets cut off? For example, you had a post where you cut flower shapes out of the center of cucumber slices. What did you do to the rest of the cucumber?

Thanks, Melissa, for your headsup about ELB selling out - we were running a co-op buy of it and when I read your post we confirmed that at the rate they were selling, they would be sold out in a few days, so we placed our huge order immediately. ELBs are my totally favorite lunchbox of all of them!
