HOUSTON -- The last time Colby Lewis had two RBIs, it helped the Texas Rangers to the second victory of what would become an 11-game winning streak in 2010.
Texas manager Ron Washington is hoping his pitcher's performance Sunday means good things are ahead for his team.Lewis allowed four hits in eight-plus innings and drove in two runs, and the Rangers took a five-run lead in the first inning before coasting to a 6-1 win over the Houston Astros.More Texas Rangers coverage

Game notes
Japanese star Yu Darvish of Texas will face Seattle for the second time Monday when he opposes right-hander Felix Hernandez. Darvish yielded eight hits, five runs and four walks in 5 2/3 innings in an 11-5 win in his major league debut against the Mariners on April 9. "Although it is my second time facing those guys, my first time I really wasn't able to display the type of pitching that I wanted to," Darvish, who allowed four runs in the first inning before settling down, said through a translator. "But I think this time I'll probably have a better approach in pitching to these guys."... Houston CF Jordan Schafer was doing much better on Sunday, a day after injuring his leg avoiding a collision in center field. Mills said he has a muscle strain on his lower right leg and expects him to return by Wednesday. ...

Edwin Hubble was born on November 20, 1889. He graduated from the University of Chicago and served in WWI before settling down to lead research in the field of astrophysics at Mount Wilson Observatory in California. Hubble's revolutionary work includes finding a constant relationship between galaxies' redshift and distance, which helped to eventually prove that the universe is expanding. Additionally, a classification system that he created for galaxies has been used by other researchers for decades,
now known as the Hubble sequence.
Early Life
Born in Marshfield, Missouri on November 20, 1889, to father John Powell Hubble and mother Virginia Lee (James) Hubble, Edwin Hubble began reading science-fiction novels at a young age. One of his favorite books was Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
In 1898, when he was 10 years old, Hubble and his seven siblings moved with their parents to Chicago, Illinois. There, Hubble attended high school and excelled at sports, particularly track and field—as a high school student, he broke the Illinois state high jump record.
Hubble received a scholarship to attend the University of Chicago in 1906. While there, he worked as a lab assistant under Robert Millikan, who later won a Nobel Prize for his work in the field of physics. After graduating in 1910, Hubble left Chicago and enrolled at the University of Oxford, where he studied law philosophy. He gradudated from the school three years later, obtaining a bachelor's degree in jurisprudence. Around the same time, Hubble's father, John Hubble, died.
Acclaimed Career
After a short stint teaching in Indiana, Hubble returned to the University of Chicago to study astronomy. Not long after, he was recruited by California's Mount Wilson Observatory to help complete the construction of its Hooker telescope. Before beginning the new position—which he excitedly accepted—Hubble completed a doctorate in astronomy, enlisted in the U.S. Army and served a tour of duty in World War I.
While working at Mount Wilson, Hubble proved that other galaxies existed outside of the Milky Way, where Earth is located, by taking photos through the observatory's Hooker telescope and comparing the varying degrees of luminosity among Cepheid variable stars. There had been no clear idea of the Milky Way's size at the time, and through his research, Hubble was able to estimate that the Andromeda Nebula (thought of simply as a spiral at the time) was nearly 900,000 light years away from the Milky Way, thus it had to be its own galaxy. The Andromeda Nebula was later proven to be much farther away, at nearly 2.48 million light years (through further analyses of the spacial indications of stars' light). The Andromeda Nebula has was also renamed the Andromeda Galaxy.
In the early mid-1920s, Hubble began conducting new research, along with fellow astronomer Milton Humason, on the galaxies' spectral shifts and unique distances, particularly looking at their relationship with the earth.

When searching for a new vacuum the one main feature we wanted was the ability to vacuum not only rugs but also bare floors (hardwood floors). At the same time I refuse to pay $500 plus for a vacuum cleaner- it is against my conservative cheapskate upbringing. There a number of vacuums over $500 that fit the bill but when we discovered the Kenmore Intuition upright we were sold on the features and fell in love with the price.
You can go from carpet to bare floor with a finger switch on the handle which disengages the brush. You do have to do a manual adjustment to the height- a foot adjustment would be nice but it is a minor issue that almost all vacuums encounter.
The telescoping hose was another great feature that sold us on this unit. No more fumbling with the hose- trying to hook it into the machine before you can use it- all you do is pull it out of the holder and it is ready to use.
We feel more comfortable knowing the dirt we suck up is captured in a HEPA bag and not a cup that you have to emply. Doesn't the dust fly up when you empty those bagless units defeating the purpose of a HEPA vac?
Oh, did I mention this unit sucks. My wife almost sucked up a hall rug using it the first time. As much or more sucking power than those expensive vacuums.

This baby does a great job on carpets and is indeed excellent on pet hair. The problem is that the accordion hose can trap certain particles like wood splinters and then become plugged with other debris. Fortunately the "change bag" light gives an indication of this but you have to interpret whether the bag is indeed full or the hose is plugged - clearing the hose may require removing it from the machine. The other issue is that the head, while having a nice design, doesn't do that great of a job of picking up stuff at edges. It is often necessary to go after that stuff with the hose and attachments. Not hard, just somewhat inconvenient.

I bought this model based on Consumer Reports positive review, and it confirmed CR's assessment. Easy to maneuver, easy to assemble. Haven't changed a bag yet, which is always a difficult proposition, which is why ordinarily I would go for a bagless design.
Paducah, KY

I bought this a year ago. It does a great job on both carpet and floors. I don't mind it being heavy because it is sturdy and the suction is great. The problem is it has no lower handle to assist you when doing the stairs. The user is forced to lift and maneuver the vacuum using the top of the handle while the bottom flops at the pivot. It there were a lower handle the user could better move the vacuum from stair to stair as well as avoiding the beater head from flopping when you get to the front edge of each stair. If you don't want to do stairs this is a great vacuum. I have looked to see if there were some place I could attach a handle but do not believe there is a study enough area to do that. I'm a male, 57, and go to the gym regularly. Believe me when I say it is difficult to use on stairs.

Had a 15-yr Kenmore. A week ago I bought a bagless Hoover and right off had problems. Took it back, bought this Kenmore Intuition Upright bagged vac...love it! Hoover was cheaper but made cheaper. Kenmore is sturdily build, works wonderfully. Am very well pleased. That's what I like about buying from Sears, if you don't like it (within a reasonable time) you can take it back and get something better.
Saint Cloud, MN

This vacuum cleaner was easy to assemble. I bought it because it had a recommendation from Consumer Reports and they did not get it wrong. As with most vacuums the height of the head needs adjustment based on what works and not what the slider indicates...setting the height for medium carpet to get good vacuum for a low carpet.
Lincoln Park, MI

Cleans great, but too heavy and hard to push. Returned.
Merced, CA
via sears.com
This vacuum has great suction power, especially when the hose is used directly. Suction does decrease a bit when using the upright carpet functionality, but it still does the job well. The major downside of this vacuum is that it is extremely heavy and can get tiring to push around.
Hershey, PA
via sears.com
Got a new vacuum cleaner after reviewing it on consumer reports. Have only been using it for a month, but I love it already. The suction power is great and it transitions from hard wood floors to carpet with ease. A little bulky.
via sears.com
poor design makes hose very difficult to vacuum furniture. Curved hard plastic hose prevents being able to clean furniture. The curve requires odd twisting, turning to be able to position the pet tool on furniture. Very very difficult. Plus the pet tool quits turning the brush when it rests lightly on furniture. It does not work. don't buy this vacuum.
Ontario, CA
via sears.com
From the start this vacuum has been awesome. It clears away pet hair, and our carpet is much better now.

By Jan Schwartz
HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - The incoming leader of an influential German union warned Volkswagen AG
Detlef Wetzel, running unopposed in a late November election to be the head of IG Metall, said companies like VW and industrial conglomerate ThyssenKrupp AG
"Low wages and union-free areas: That's not a business model that the IG Metall would support," he told Reuters in a telephone interview. "If companies - from VW to ThyssenKrupp - entered these (southern U.S.) states in order to be free of unions, meaning to not acknowledge a fundamental pillar of any democracy, then we're in North Korea. That cannot be accepted."
VW declined to comment.
IG Metall officials have supported efforts by the United Auto Workers union to represent the hourly workers at VW's plant in Chattanooga, where it builds the Passat sedan. IG Metall represents VW's workers in its home country.
The UAW has pushed VW to accept a German-style labor council at the Tennessee plant that would require the involvement of the U.S. union under American labor law. Volkswagen said in September that it was in talks with the UAW about establishing such a labor council at the Chattanooga plant, which would be a first for the U.S. union.
In Germany, a works council represents both blue-collar and white-collar workers. It represents employees on work rules in the plants and some other dealings with the company, but wages and benefits are negotiated by IG Metall.
The UAW, which lost membership in the past three decades to automation and a cutback of jobs at General Motors Co
The UAW wants Volkswagen to recognize the union as the representative of workers at Chattanooga, based on cards endorsing the union signed by more than half of the plant's 1,570 workers.
However, a source with knowledge of the thinking of the company's top executive board said last month that the board will ultimately insist on a formal vote by workers at the plant on how they are to be represented.
While not a member of VW's supervisory board, Wetzel said labor representatives and management on the board are in "intense" talks about a solution for the plant.
"I personally campaign for co-determination and I'm ready every day to back every union movement that's being discriminated against in every part of the world," he said.
Meanwhile, VW's top labor leader, Bernd Osterloh, is scheduled to travel to Tennessee to meet with Gov. Bill Haslam and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the former mayor of Chattanooga, to discuss Osterloh's desire that VW's Tennessee workers are represented through a German-style works council.
Both Haslam and Corker have voiced opposition to the UAW's efforts at the VW plant.
Osterloh is an IG Metall member.
A person familiar with the plans, who asked not to be identified, earlier said that the visit would take place in mid-November, but Osterloh's spokesman declined to comment. A spokesman for Haslam had no immediate comment, while a spokeswoman for Corker could not be reached.

It's tough to find a good job, any job, these days. And when you don't ace an interview, it can deepen your despair. But it happens to everyone and no one likes it. Here's how to gain perspective and see that being turned down by a potential employer is nothing personal. From The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success, by Nicholas Lore.
Most of us job search from a point of view that saps our effectiveness from the very beginning. Take a few moments to imagine what it would be like if you were offered every job you applied for. Then the search would just be a matter of sorting: meeting with potential employers to clarify whether there would be a perfect fit between you and the job, negotiating benefits, and accepting the one you wanted. It would be like shopping for anything else. Remember how it felt to shop for something you were excited about: a special gift, a book, clothes, a car, a guitar, or whatever.
The difference between those mental exercises and the reality of a job search is the possibility of rejection. You probably won't be offered every job. Many organizations will probably reject you before you land the job you want. It happens to everyone, and no one likes it. Years ago, a woman I was dating broke up with me just as I was going to break up with her. I felt betrayed and rejected even though I got exactly what I wanted. My feelings made no sense, but that didn't reduce their impact one bit. Because feelings arise automatically, you cannot call up some inner force that makes them go away. If you search for a job, you will be rejected and feel rejected. The key is to transform the search by approaching it from the point of view that you are the cause, rather than the effect, of the stream of events. Instead of being a leaf in the wind, hoping to run across a job that wants you, become an active force of your intentions and seek to create multiple excellent job offers to choose from. Rejection is part of the process. And it works both ways.
Success is the ability to go from one failure
to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
If you design and plan your job search carefully, taking into consideration all the realities, as well as the twists and turns of circumstance and fate, you can concentrate on effective action rather than reacting to discomfort and potential rejection. Remember that some of the most powerful criteria driving human behavior are: feeling safe, being right, feeling good, looking good, and avoiding pain. In a traditional job search, all of these criteria take a beating. You don't feel safe, because you are exposing yourself to rejection. You don't experience being right when you are not chosen for the team. You don't feel good about all the uncertainty inherent in the search. You don't look good to yourself if they don't want you. Many people unconsciously conduct their job search based on these criteria. A stiff and uncomfortable dance with rejection means that job searchers concentrate on avoiding having their toes stepped on rather than really swinging out. They say something like "I'm not comfortable calling people I don't know." That may be a perfectly valid statement, but when it rules their actions, they lose. When the commitment is to results, you may voice the same complaint, but you do so while dialing the phone. (Even better: Stop voicing the complaint. You don't need self-hypnosis of that variety.)
It's all a matter of perspective. If you were shopping for a special article of clothing, you might try on many candidates before you picked the final one. Are you rejecting the clothes that don't fit or look right, or are they rejecting you? Most job searchers feel more like clothes on the rack than someone shopping for the perfect fit. There is nothing personal about job search rejection. By turning your job search into an intentional project, a game of your own design, potential employers become the candidates instead of you. They become part of your movie, rather than you a bit player in theirs. One job search expert suggests using a piece of graph paper to deal with rejections. Start at the top. Make an X in one box every time you get rejected. He says that before you have filled the paper, you will have the job.

A charity run by one of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posses has given $40,000 to the widow of a Phoenix police officer who was killed in the line of duty more than two months ago.
A check was presented to the wife of Officer Daryl Raetz.
Police say Raetz was making a drunken driving stop on a vehicle May 19th in west Phoenix when another vehicle struck him. The six-year police veteran later died in a hospital. Sheriff's spokesman Joaquin Enriquez says no public money was used in the donation. Enriquez says the money that was given to Raetz's wife came from fundraising by an Arpaio posse that consists of business people who raise money for the families of officers killed in the line of duty.

Our first experience in South Africa was major jet lag! We all had long flights and had been traveling through many different countries. It was nice to finally set foot in the country where we were all so excited to spend the next 3 weeks.
We started our time together in South Africa with a welcome braai. For all those back home this is similar to a BBQ. We all very much enjoyed this meal, especially because it was our first meal that wasn't plane food. The meal consisted of Chicken kabobs, pasta salad, greek salad, lamb, samosas, and much more! This was the first time that all of us were able to sit down and tell stories of our flights and of our first experiences thus far. It was a great first welcome into a new country.
After the braai we had an in depth orientation of how we will be living our life for the next 3 weeks. We learned all the ins and outs of South Africa. Following this we went on a brief tour of the University of Cape Town. We all were able to take many pictures and start experiencing this new country.
We then had our first trip to the grocery store. This was quite a culture shock. It was our first time using Rands (the type of currency used in South Africa). Entering into the Pick and Pay everyone became quite overwhelmed due to the fact that nothing looking familiar. We all had to work together and figure out what types of food to buy and how much it would cost. Although it was overwhelming, it was a great first experience together.
Day 2
On Thursdays December 30th, some of us took a walk around the area where we are living. We were all intrigued by the culture and the scenery that surrounded the area. While walking, we were honked at numerous times by van drivers; which is a norm in South Africa. There is a specified person in the van called a cabi. The cabi's role is to lure potential customers in order to get them to ride in the van.
Later, we all got on a train to go to the beach. At the train station, there was a security person who blew a whistle to let the train driver know when to go. While on the train, we were all fascinated by some guys who randomly started playing some jazz music. When we arrived at the beach, we all split up to explore the surroundings along the Indian Ocean. We all went to different restaurants to eat and walked around the shore. To end the day, we all took the train back to our housing.

Big Series à Game 3 (White Sox 1, Twins 4 )
After losing games one and two of their big series against the White Sox, the Twins really needed to win last night. What did they need to do to accomplish that? Going in, I thought they needed two things. First, they needed to get a strong starting pitching performance! With Johan Santana, the Twins best pitcher all season, the Twins had their best shot to achieve that. Also, I thought the Twins needed to get off to a good start, to get a lead and play from ahead, rather than playing catch up the whole game again.
Johan Santana did his part. With as much pressure as was on him, Santana came through with a clutch pitching performance. He matched the 0's that Chicago's Jon Garland put up through the first 4 innings. Then in the top of the 5th inning, the Twins got sacrifice flies from both Cristian Guzman and Shannon Stewart to give them a 2-0 lead. Santana put another 0 on the board in the 5th inning. Then in the 6th, Magglio Ordonez hit a sacrifice fly, making the score 2-1. In a close game, whenever the other team scores, it is important to get that run back as soon as possible to take away any momentum the opponent may feel. With 2 outs in the top of the 7th, Shannon Stewart came through for the Twins again, singling in Corey Koskie.
Santana came out to start the bottom of the 7th, but Carl Everett singled and Joe Crede walked before Jose Valentin sacrificed them to 2nd and 3rd. That was it for Santana, he had done his job and the Twins bullpen "ace" came in and did his. LaTroy Hawkins was able to get pinch-hitter Brian Daubach to ground out to the catcher on a controversial call. I don't know why it was controversial. It amazes me when major league players don't understand the rules of the game. Daubach checked a swing and the ball bounced off his bat to the ground in foul territory behind home plate. On the hop, it landed on home plate. Obviously the plate is in fair territory. AJ Pierzynski pounced from his crouch, picked up the ball and tagged out Daubach. With 2 outs now, Roberto Alomar was brought in as a pinch hitter. LaTroy Hawkins threw 97 mph fastball after 97 mph fastball right on the outside corner, and finally on a full count, Hawkins blew a 98 mph fastball right by Alomar for the 3rd out! That was the ball game!
The Twins added an insurance run in the 8th when Matthew Lecroy doubled in Doug Mientkiewicz. Hawkins pitched the 8th inning. Then Eddie Guardado came in to close the game in the 9th.
That's a great recipe for winning baseball. Get great starting pitching from your real "ace". Get a lead and maintain it. Get help from the bullpen. Add some insurance runs, and close the show in the 9th! If only it were always that simple, right?
Wow!! I know the players and coaching staff probably didn't want to make too big a deal out of the importance of last night's game. BUT, it truly was a huge game! The Twins now have a chance to split the series. It will be tough, as Brad Radke faces 19-game winner Esteban Loaiza. It's a noon game, so by 3 or 4 today, we'll know whether the Twins are 2 games back in the division, or tied for first-place again!
Go Twins!
On a negative note, Joe Mays met with Dr. James Andrews yesterday and found out that there is a tear of a ligament in his elbow, so he will be undergoing Tommy John surgery. The procedure will likely cost Joe Mays his 2004 season. It also helps to explain just how poorly he's pitched. It does make you wonder why this wasn't detected sooner. Jesse Foppert hurt himself on Saturday and he had Tommy John surgery yesterday. Joe Mays has been hurt for a year and a half, and this is the first visit to Dr. Andrews. It's just another sign of how poor the Twins medical and training staffs are. Dick Martin is certainly missed!
On a comical note, the White Sox release reliever Jose Paniagua right after the game on Tuesday night for his rant on the home plate umpire and flipping him off as he was walking off the field after being removed from the game AND ejected from the game. White Sox GM Kenny Williams did the right thing!
Last chance!! Get in on tomorrow's SethSpeaks posting! Send me an e-mail and answer the below question. Have your voice heard! If you'd like to enter, send me an e-mail today, and it could be used tomorrow! Here's the question:
This is a question that I think comes into question at this time every year… The MVP award. What does the term "Most VALUABLE Player" mean? Does it mean just the best player in the league statistically for the year? Does it mean the most clutch player? Does it mean the best player on the best team? Last year, Miguel Tejada of the Oakland A's won the AL MVP award even though his overall numbers weren't as good as Texas Rangers SS Alex Rodriguez. But, the A's went to the playoffs, and the Rangers didn't play a 'meaningful game after Memorial Day. So, what do you think? I know that everyone has different opinions on this, and I would love to hear from you on your thoughts.
Just a quick reminder of how the Discussion Question of the Week works. The Question is presented above. It has been included on the site all week. If you would like to participate in the discussion, just send me an e-mail with your response by tonight. I will then, on Friday, post the responses that I get. This one should be fun and interesting.
Two years ago today, things changed in this country. 9/11/01, a date that will be remembered forever. That was the day that two airplanes flew into the Twin Towers of New York City before a third plane flew into the Pentagon. A fourth plane was headed for another location when a courageous group of people took on their hijackers and flew it into a field in Pennsylvania, losing their own lives, yet potentially saving many more!
The same can be said of so many more American heroes. When the decision was made to go to war against Afghanistan and later against the tyrannical government of Iraq, other Americans lost their lives and in doing so became heroes fighting for the safety of more Americans. But those aren't the only heroes. All who fought on our behalf should be considered heroes!
Where were you that morning two years ago today? At 8:45, just 45 minutes after arriving at work, someone said that a plane had flown into one of the Towers in New York City. Sadly, I just kind of nodded and said, "Oh, that's too bad". At that time, I had no clue the full scope of what was happening. 15 minutes later, the same person told me that another plane had flown into the other tower. At this point, I started getting a little bit nervous, yet, I live in a small town, so I wasn't too worried. Shortly after, the news came that the Pentagon had been hit by another plane. At this point, the office was a buzz. Everyone was discussing it. Those with internet access and speakers were trying to find a place that was covering the situation. I was in my boss's office with a number of others just listening to what was happening, not having a clue of what it all meant. Then the towers came crashing to the ground. I accomplished nothing at work that morning. At noon, I just said I was taking a ½ day off of work and going home. I needed to know everything. I wanted to know what was happening. I wanted to know if I was in any danger.
At the time, a great friend of mine and his wife were living in Washington D. C. At 1 p.m. that afternoon, I tried to call them to see where they were, how they were. But the phones out there were out. I had no way to get a hold of them that day.
There was no baseball for a week, and obviously that was a good thing! Flights were all in question. Safety of players and fans in stadiums were a concern. Baseball was the last thing on people's minds, and especially the baseball player's minds.
Anyway, I'm certainly not an eloquent writer, so I shouldn't be writing about such a deep, important topic, but I felt something should be said. So, I'll just leave it at this: Don't forget what happened that day. Respect the military and those who have served our country in the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, even if you don't agree that we should have gone there. Respect the President, even if he's not who you voted for. Know that he's there to make decisions that he feels are in the best interest for the country. One thing I learned from watching CNN and Fox and the other news stations is that I don't need to know every detail of what's going on. We don't need to know every detail of why we went to war. Personally, I don't want to know. I think knowing would scare me. Again, just trust the President and all of his advisors!
Enough political information, huh?
Former Vikings kicker Gary Anderson last night signed a contract to be the Tennessee Titans kicker for the rest of the season. My assumption would be that he'll kick extra points and field goals inside 35 or 40 yards. Punter Craig Hentrich will probably kick longer field goals as well as kickoffs. Of course, the Titans kicking job opened up Sunday night when their kicker Joe Nedney tore up his knee and is out of the season.
Vikings safety Corey Chavous was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his 2 interceptions against Brett Favre and the Packers. Unfortunately, Chavous probably won't play this weekend against the Bears with a knee injury.
With Donald Driver out for Sunday's game, and Robert Ferguson very questionable with a knee injury, the Packers re-signed WR Antonio Freeman. Freeman could be a very interesting fantasy football pickup. He isn't too far removed from the Packers system. He and Brett Favre always had a strong rapport. Maybe not for this week, but he's worth consideration as a pickup in the next couple of weeks.
And don't forget to check back tomorrow for this week's NFL "Experts Picks". The same 9 people will be picking the winners Week 2's NFL games. They will also each pick a QB, 2 RB, and 2 WR to watch this weekend!
I live in Hockeytown, USA, but hockey ranks well down on my list of favorite sports, behind baseball, basketball and football, if not more. The Minnesota Wild organization is starting training camp. It's going to be a tough year for them, I think. Last year was supposed to be another developmental year, and they made it to the Western Conference Finals before losing to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. So fan expectations are probably far too high for them. I'm sure I'll try to get into them to start the season, but after awhile, I'll get bored with them. But there is one thing I am totally looking forward to. What is that, you ask? I can't wait to keep hearing the name Pascal Dupois!!
That's it for today! Everyone have a great Thursday! I guess the Twins/White Sox 4th game is on WGN, so if you can, check it out! If you have any comments on anything you've read, just send me an e-mail!

Aperiodic finite state automaton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aperiodic finite-state automaton is a finite-state automaton whose transition monoid is aperiodic.
A regular language is star-free if and only if it is accepted by an automaton with a finite and aperiodic transition monoid. This result of algebraic automata theory is due to Marcel-Paul Schützenberger.[1]
A counter-free language is a regular language for which there is an integer n such that for all words x, y, z and integers m ≥ n we have xymz in L if and only if xynz in L. A counter-free automaton is a finite-state automaton which accepts a counter-free language. A finite-state automaton is counter-free if and only if it is aperiodic.
An aperiodic automaton satisfies the Černý conjecture.[2]

Read the full excerpt
"Infinite Days is a wonderfully sexy, dark novel full of lush prose. Rebecca Maizel is a marvel, writing more than just a story, she creates myth with every page." - Carrie Jones, author of NYT bestselling series, NEED
"Once the most feared vampire in the world, Lenah Beaudonte wants what all vampires eventually want: to be human and feel, love and even cry again. After an elaborate ritual that involves the death of her soul mate for the last 592 years and a 100-year secret hibernation at her English countryside estate, Lenah awakens at an elite New England boarding school, returned to her former 16-year-old human self. As she adjusts to the new century (almost too quickly, "chatting up" friends in mere days), tries to fit in with her peers and experiences her first human love with gorgeous and intelligent Justin and guilt for her past ruthless killings, flashbacks across the centuries reveal Lenah's former life as a vampire, how she formed the coven she rules and why she must prepare to battle its members once they discover her disappearance. In this new series starter, strong, brave, powerful Lenah sheds the wannabe image, capturing readers instead with her complex yet fascinating history and visceral, at times sensual, narration." - Kirkus
"Maizel has written a gripping debut novel that wraps a historical story into a modern, paranormal tale. Lenah is a multilayered woman who understands the test of time, yet experiences life as if just born. A new series sure to appeal to many — young and old. Breathtaking!" – Romantic Times Book Reviews (Top Pick)
"Maizel's dark and dreamy debut reverses the vampire trend with a heroine whose heart's desire is to regain her humanity and abandon her evil past. After more than 500 years as the queen of her English coven, perpetual 15-year-old Lenah finally has her chance to become human again when her vampire sire sacrifices himself for the necessary ritual. Determined to live her new days to the fullest before her coven finds and kills her for her betrayal, Lenah explores American teenage life at a boarding school in Massachusetts with best friend Tony and boyfriend Justin. Eventually discovered, abducted, and remade as a vampire, Lenah retains her soul and becomes something entirely new--a compassionate vampire with unexpected powers who can bridge the worlds. She returns to school and her friends, but the coven isn't far behind, and they aren't interested in mercy. Maizel's lustrous style is occasionally uneven, but the captivating characters and intriguing story easily overcome the slight flaws. Vampire fans or not, readers will find a lot to enjoy in this exploration of the power of intent, desire, love, and sacrifice." – Publishers Weekly
"Infinite Days is a deliciously engaging mix of vampires and romance, peppered with humor and layered with a lush, grippingly dark backstory. Rebecca Maizel's first novel is a real treat!" --A.M. Jenkins, author of Damage
Rebecca Maizel is the bestselling author of the Vampire Queen series, starting with Infinite Days. She graduated from Boston University and the Rhode Island College master's program. She teaches community college in Rhode Island and is studying to receive her MFA from Vermont College.

Fishing Soft-Hackles
- By: Dave Hughes
- Photography by: Dave Hughes
I first met sylvester nemes through his 1975 book, The Soft-Hackled Fly. It was a small book, tightly focused on its single subject: wet flies tied with bodies of silk thread, sparse hackles, rarely anything extra. Sylvester's prose reflected his subject perfectly. It was spare, compact and didn't stray from its subject. Which is to say, the book was beautifully written. Best to me: It was—and is, because it's still in print under the title The Soft-Hackled Fly and Tiny Soft Hackles—one of those rare books that enthused me to immediately sit down at the vise, tie a bunch of the flies described, and rush from there to a stream to fish them.
The flies, and the methods described, worked. Sometimes they worked wonders. One of my favorite days with them came on a gloomy fall float of Utah's Green River, downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam. Few trout rose all day. My friends and I tried pestering them to attention with weighted nymphs tumbled along the bottom, which turned out to be ineffective—and because it produced few trout, was also very little fun.

Fly-fishing, travel and photography go together like ABC. Documenting our adventures afield can be a very satisfying part of our experience, whether we're traveling far away or just down the road. But too often anglers spend a small fortune on equipment, travel and perhaps a camera as well, and after returning home they are disappointed in their pictures.

When i was growing up in southern Idaho, private property meant, "Close the gates behind you and don't spook the cows." The rare No Trespassing sign just meant a grouchy old farmer didn't like his neighbors. But by simply asking permission we were able to hunt pheasants in the stubble-fields and fish for rainbows and cutthroat in the moss-filled spring creeks. In exchange, we occasionally dropped off a couple of fish or a brace of mallards for our hosts.
Fly Girls

Not every family fishing vacation has to involve all the members of your clan. Heck, not even everyone who joins the fun has to be a blood relation; just ask Oprah Winfrey, who this past fall went fly-fishing with her best friend, Gayle King, during their girls' trip to Yosemite National Park. We all know that women pick up the rhythm and feel of fly-fishing quite quickly, so it stands to reason that one of the fast-growing types of angling vacations are for women only.

We all have one: A list of places we just have to fish sometime. Some we've never been to, some deserve a return visit. They're the places that occupy our daydreams, when we're stuck in a meeting and wish we were somewhere else, when we're shoveling the drive after yet another dumping of snow… These are places where the weather's always good, the tides are in our favor and the fish are on the feed (in those daydreams, anyway). Our lists include familiar waters (perhaps because there's a certain comfort in that familiarity, but also because the fishing can be terrific) mixed with plenty of exotic locations we may never get to. But we can dream, can't we?

It's a waste of money to hire a guide to take you fishing. Say what? I'll put it another way. If your reason for hiring a guide is simply to catch a lot of fish, you'll be happy with the result most of the time. But if that's your only goal, you're squandering a superb opportunity to significantly improve your fly-fishing skills.
Junkie Fix - Northwest Steelhead or Tierra Del Fuego's Sea-Run Browns
- By: Dec Hogan
- Photography by: Dec Hogan
After years of dreaming and fantasizing about fishing sea-run brown trout in South America I finally scratched that 30-year itch. And let me tell you it felt, at once, familiar and good.
You may already know that my passion is pursuing steelhead on western rivers, where a good day is just being on beautiful water swinging a pretty fly, anticipating an electrifying grab. A great day is when I actually hook a steelhead and anything beyond that is considered a banner day. It's what I've come to expect; it's how I roll.
4+ Piece Rods: Don't fear the Ferrule
- By: Zach Matthews
FACT: Fly fishers love travel. Unfortunate fact: Travel is a lot more difficult than it was 10 years ago, thanks mostly to international terrorism. In fact, I'll never forget the time I watched a gentleman heading out on a cast-and-blast trip trying to negotiate security at Miami International Airport. He had forgotten that he had recently worn his travel vest while doing some upland shooting. Thanks to a little gunpowder residue in his pockets, he was locked inside MIA's shiny new "puffer" bomb-sniffing device, while red lights flashed and security sprinted into the area (to the great amusement of his fellow anglers).

How to straighten 32L axles?
I brought a bowl of water to a boil in the microwave, waited for it to stop boiling, then poured into a tumbler, then soaked the bent half of the axle in the water for 2 minutes, then "quickly" put the 32 cross-hole bricks on it and set it up as Jourbarc described, and let it sit for a couple of nights. The axle, while still noticeably bent, appears to be less bent than it was. After I've applied this technique to the rest of the bent axles, I may attempt a second application. |

How to straighten 32L axles?
I tried this, with 32 of those bricks, and left one of most egregiously bent axles in it for about 2 weeks. I couldn't tell that it made any difference. I'll try the hot water approach next. |

How to straighten 32L axles?
There's still value in getting them straight, even if it's just for the visual aspect. I might also try using them in a high-speed-low-torque application, or maybe put a bunch of worm gears on them to create a leadscrew or something. |

How can I blow a stream of air for up to two minutes at a time?
I think you'll find that studs-up construction for the housing will give you enough air-tightness. My concern would be if you could get enough pressure from it... I'm not sure how much it would take. You might try experimenting with a hair dryer, shop-vac, and small fans and the like to see just how much air you'll need. Building a squirrel-cage fan is a fun little project all on its own, too! :) |

How much depth does the NXT battery pack add?
My white 10VDC battery pack arrived today. It adds the same thickness as a studless beam, same as the 9VAC battery pack. |

After years of repeated and insistent denials, Lance Armstrong has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong confesses to doping. Stripped of his seven Tour de France Titles and his Olympic medals, Armstrong's confession could also lead to personal perjury charges for lying during previous legal depositions in the matter.
Now, many Alaskans hope his national non-profit organization to fight cancer, Livestrong, will be able to live on.
"Am I disappointed? Yes," said Rachelle Alger, the leader of Alaska Livestrong. "Does it take away from my mission or what is dear to my heart in supporting Livestrong? No."
Alger said she hopes people will separate Armstrong from the organization he founded that has helped so many, including herself.
"Our mission is to continue on going forward, to support and advocate and fight cancer," Alger said. "We are independent of Lance. Of course Lance was our founder, but the mission remains the same and that is to help those fighting cancer and those survivors."
Alger wants others to remember that despite his many out-of-this-world accolades, Armstrong is still human.
"I have ridden a bike with Lance, on two occasions. He is very sincere, and people may find this shocking...he was very humble," said Alger.
Alger said that although she may be disappointed in Armstrong, his acts will not take away from her mission.
