Kazmir looks to foil Twins' spoil attempt in finale
Pelfrey aims to lead Minnesota to series win in Cleveland
The Twins might not be a part of the American League playoff race, but they contend that they have plenty of work to do this season.
Ron Gardenhire's club is relishing the role of spoiler, and Minnesota has recorded three wins in the first five games of a six-game swing that takes the Twins through division-leading Detroit and second-place Cleveland.
"We're on a really tough trip," Gardenhire said. "We're going through Detroit and Cleveland, who are battling each other for this division. We owe it to the rest of baseball to give it everything we have, which we do every game, but definitely the atmosphere is different.
"You're talking about teams that are in a pennant race. Our guys get excited about this stuff, and some of our young kids are kind of getting a feel of what it's like to be in a pennant race."
It is a role the Twins are embracing, though they would certainly prefer to be in the postseason hunt.
"Unfortunately, that's going to be the role this year. It was the role last year," outfielder Josh Willingham said. "You play teams that are in the playoff run … to hopefully beat them when it matters. I guess that's the second-best thing, instead of being in it.
"You'd rather be in it, but if you can beat somebody when it matters, that's good, too."
On Sunday, the Twins will attempt to claim the rubber match of their series with the Indians, who are among a cluster of teams vying for one of the two AL Wild Card spots.
Cleveland pushed starter Scott Kazmir back a day to give the southpaw extra rest. Kazmir (7-6, 4.39 ERA) has made 22 starts this season after pitching in just one big league game the previous two years. He has logged 103 2/3 innings between the Majors, Minors, Independent League and winter ball.
"I think he feels like he's been pitching for two straight years," Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. "He's a little tired, so we want to just give him an extra day when we can."
Mike Pelfrey (5-10, 5.19 ERA) is slated to take the hill for the Twins.
Twins: Mauer eyeing return
Joe Mauer hopes to return to the lineup in time for next weekend's series in Texas. The catcher has been sidelined since Monday with concussion-like symptoms. He went on the seven-day concussion disabled list last Tuesday and plans to join the Twins for the club's three-game set against the Royals beginning Tuesday at Target Field.
Gardenhire stressed that Mauer must be cleared before he can play, even after his seven-day stint is over.
"I think Joe wants to be a little more conservative," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "If he doesn't do anything for a few days, it increases the chance that there aren't any symptoms when he does start up again."
Indians: Raburn aching
• For the 13th time in 16 games, Ryan Raburn was out of the starting lineup on Saturday due to a right calf injury. He also felt pain in his left foot and Achilles tendon when he hit a home run last Sunday. Raburn underwent an MRI exam on Saturday. The results showed inflammation, but no structural damage.
Raburn is hoping to avoid a trip to the DL.
"I can probably play through a lot of this stuff, but if it sets me back again, I just don't want to put the team in a bad spot," Raburn said.
• Veteran right-hander Brett Myers surrendered three runs (one earned) on three hits with one wild pitch in one-third of an inning in a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Saturday.
Worth noting
• In three starts against the Twins this season, Kazmir has posted a 2-0 record and 1.42 ERA, with 17 strikeouts in 19 innings.
• In two outings against the Indians this year, Pelfrey is 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA, with 12 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings.

John Nathan Adams, the popular track and snowboarding coach who was hospitalized after the horrific Aug. 9 triple-fatal crash in Bishop, died on Saturday as a result of his injuries, his family announced.
On Friday, Adams' family posted a notice on the website CaringBridge.com that family members had decided to end Adams's life support at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
He passed away surrounded by his family.
Adams, a resident of Cardiff in Southern California, had many friends in Mammoth, including Stuart and Julie Brown, who gave him a sendoff from Mammoth shortly before the crash. Adams was 39 at the time of the crash.
Funeral services had not been set by press time, but Brown said it is possible that there will a celebration of life ceremony of some sort in Mammoth in the near future.
"Because this area meant so much to him," Brown said, "there seems to be a consensus to do something here."
He also said it's possible that a memorial bench of some sort may be placed in Mammoth.
If that comes to pass, Brown said his friends will have to decide between "John Nathan Adams" or "Nathan John Adams."
Adams's actual first name is Nathan, but when the paperwork was prepared for him to join the instructional staff at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, his name was transposed.
"He just didn't do anything about it, so he just became John to us. If you ask his family in Texas, he's Nathan," Brown said.
The family ended Adams' life support two months to the day from the accident.

Tips on Buying Canvas Art
The easiest way to transform a bare wall into a spectacular gallery is with canvas art. These three-dimensional paintings literally pop from the wall, creating a simple focal point that can make your home look more polished. Most canvas art is created for the masses using a giclee technique. This involves recreating a piece of fine art digitally and printing it on a high-quality inkjet printer. The image is then stretched over a canvas frame to create your piece of art. You can buy canvas art in nearly every genre, but this guide will help you decide what's right for you with a few tips on buying art.

How to Make a Terrarium
During my visit to Sprout Home last week, I was blown away by all the unique flowers and foliage available in their new floral design studio. Since then, I have been ga-ga for greenery — so I recently took part in one of their wildly popular terrarium making classes.
I have to admit, I don't have much of a green thumb and the thought of building a terrarium has always seemed a bit scary to me. But when Tassy and Claire over at Sprout Home shared their expertise on how these these crazy little things work, I was surprised to learn how easy they are to both make and maintain. Thanks to their great resources and know-how, I had a blast constructing my whimsical miniature little landscape. I'm so proud, I even had a party just so I could show it off!
Follow the instructions below to build your very own terrarium, or visit www.sprouthome.com to register for one of their fun classes.
Thanks again to Tassy and Claire for another Sprout-rrific adventure!
What You Will Need
• A glass container or other clear vessel with a large enough opening for placing plants inside
• Small stones for drainage (gravel, pebbles, broken pottery, or river rocks work well)
• Crushed charcoal
• Sand (different varieties optional)
• Soil
• Plants
• Fun landscaping accessories!
• A funnel and chopsticks (helpful tools for incorporating and maneuvering the different elements into containers with small openings)
Before You Begin
• Whether you choose to have an opened or closed terrarium, keep in mind that all plants should have the same environmental needs (i.e. succulents vs. cacti). If you want to grow sun-loving plants, an open container will work just fine. Plants that thrive in high levels of humidity should be placed in a closed container.
• Be sure you have selected soil appropriate to your desired plants.
• Choose slow-growing plants as to avoid overcrowding.
- Clean container throughly to prevent bacteria from growing.
- Begin by placing drainage at the bottom of the container.
- Add a thin layer of crushed charcoal to help keep the soil fresh.
- Incorporate different kinds of sand on top of the charcoal for a layered effect.
- Add soil, making sure to create a hole large enough for the roots of each plant. Remember that creating uneven layers of sand and soil can look great, but pay close attention to the levels around the edges, as this is what you will see from outside the terrarium. Note: Steps 2 thru 4 should equal about one-third the height of your selected container.
- Place plants into the soil, largest to smallest and lightly pack the soil. Do not overplant. Consider the negative space for other landscaping opportunities like dried flowers, groundcover, moss, geodes and/or small figurines.
- Landscape! You are the designer.
• Water 1-2 times per week, watering only the live plants and avoiding mosses and dried flowers. For an open terrarium, the soil should always remain barely moist, never bone dry.
• Closed terrariums should almost never need watering.
• Prune back dead foliage or overgrown plants as needed to prevent rotting.
• Terrariums thrive in natural, indirect light. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or other hot areas as you can actually cook the plants or burn foliate that is touching the edges of the vessel.
• Mist your terrarium daily to provide ample humidity.
Sprout Home's Plant Recommendations
• Low-light terrariums: Ferns, mosses, baby's tears, fittonia peperomia, sanseveria, schefflera
•High-light terrariums (open containers): Cacti, succulents including jade, aloe, borro's tail, earth stars, echeveria, haworthia, sedum

- Diet: Algae Wafers, Fresh Vegetables
- Maximum size: 24"
- Water temperature: 72-82° F
- Swimming level: Bottom
- Experience level: Beginner
- Tank Setup: 55+ gallons
Aptly named, algae eaters are often placed in large aquariums to help keep algae from overgrowing. These bottom-swimming fish feed on green algae and vegetable matter, moving along the surfaces of your aquarium scraping green algae with their suckermouths. They also eat all kinds of commercial flake and pellet foods, but must get sufficient algae and vegetable matter, such as fresh zucchini, romaine lettuce, spinach or spirulina pellets.
You will see your algae eater swimming at the bottom of your aquarium. They will also hang from plants and the aquarium walls, using their suckermouths for attachment. To create a beautiful aquarium environment, be sure to add some middle and top swimmers as well. Ask a PetSmart associate to help you choose.
Things to remember
Frequent feedings
For optimum health, feed your algae eaters as much food as they will consume in 1-3 minutes, twice a day. You can alternate between regular staple diet feedings and 2-4 meals per week of a vegetable treat or specialty food. Remove uneaten fresh vegetables after four hours.
Adding fish
Whether you're just starting your aquarium or introducing new fish into your tank, don't forget to add only 1-3 at a time.
Unique gill opening
Algae eaters have a special opening on their gills so they can breathe without loosening their grip on a rock or other surface.
Minimum aquarium size should be 10 gallons or larger. A good rule of thumb is one gallon of water for every one inch of full-grown fish.
Decorate their aquarium with hiding places such as roots, driftwood and rockwork. Also include plants to provide grazing surfaces.
Fish compatibility
Algae eaters should not be kept by beginners or in a community aquarium with delicate fish. As adults, they can be aggressive to other tankmates and should be housed with large, tough fish or as a single species in the aquarium.
Vet Assured Promise
All pets purchased at PetSmart are raised under our exclusive Vet Assured program and come with a 14-day satisfaction guarantee.

I'm very happy with this product, and I would definitely purchase it again.Can't be without it - 12/25/2014 10:00:07 PM I've tried a lot of different kinds of face cream, and I always go back to the hisGood for dry skin - 2/7/2013 10:50:56 AM I got to try this product while having a facial at a Four Seasons spa. I had to buy it! I love the smell, and how much it moisturizes my dry winter skin.Average under eye cream - 12/28/2012 7:16:49 AM Does not seem to be doing anything? Feels ok, but do not see any result.Can't live without it - 12/22/2012 7:37:14 PM Agree with first review. Have tried many other cleansers, always come back to this one. It's gentle and cleans well without stripping my skin.great cleanser - 12/8/2012 8:47:21 AM have been using this forever i have tried others but always come back to phytomerGreat for teen - 12/4/2012 5:01:16 AM My 16 year old daughter has very sensitive skin.

It's expensive, yes, but my skin is supple, elastic and feels fantastic.the only toner you need... - 4/22/2012 8:23:01 AM I've been using this toner for several years and regret when I've tried others. I keep coming back. I have sensitve, dry skin, so I put this toner in a little spray bottle and just spray it on before I reapply moisturizer in the morning so I won't have to wash my face in the a.m., particularly during the fall and winter months. It has a lovely, natural rose scent that I never tire of. The best. -

Want capital, but your independence, too? Consider mezzanine financing
Blog Entry:
July 03, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: REBECCA LYNN WHITE
Rebecca Lynn White is a director in
Western Reserve Partners'
Industrial Group. She focuses on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising and bankruptcy and restructuring transactions.
This week, America will celebrate another year of independence on the Fourth of July with cookouts and fireworks. As Americans, we value our freedom and the ability to make our own choices. But how does a business owner who needs capital maintain his or her independence?
Often times, business owners need additional capital to grow their businesses or pay themselves a well-deserved dividend, but are not yet ready for retirement. For those business owners who want to stay in control and continue operating their business, selling and relinquishing control of their business to a strategic buyer or private equity firm is not an appealing option.
In these instances, a minority capital raise might be the solution. Depending upon the amount of capital needed and the company's current debt level, business owners can achieve their goal by raising senior debt and/or mezzanine capital.
The mezzanine market is actively seeking new investment opportunities and can be a very attractive financing alternative for business owners, given current interest rates. With the lack of sell-side mergers and acquisitions, mezzanine investors who typically assist private equity firms in financing their transactions have seen a significant drop in their deal volume, yet are faced with many of the same pressures of putting money to work within a set timeframe. Lending rates are already near historic lows, but the lack of deals in the market creates competition, resulting in further reductions in spreads and pricing.
Mezzanine capital can be structured in a variety of ways, but typically consists of subordinated notes or preferred stock. There are a variety of mezzanine investors who often are creative in how they structure their financings, as long as they achieve a specific rate of return. This return is often achieved through a combination of the following:
Cash interest: Monthly or quarterly payments of cash based on the outstanding balance of the principal
Payable-in-Kind (PIK) interest: Monthly or quarterly payments achieved by increasing the amount of the principal
Warrants: A security often attached to the subordinated debt or preferred stock, which enables the warrant holder to purchase the underlying stock at a fixed price
Raising capital in this manner is typically cheaper than selling equity in a business and allows the business owner to retain majority control of the company. Mezzanine financing can afford business owners the following:
Growth capital for making an acquisition, opening a new facility or expanding internationally
Capital for buying out a business partner. Depending on the capital structure, a minority-share partner can even buy out a majority partner and gain majority control of the business.
Dividends. This diversifies shareholder net worth by taking some money out of the business for personal needs or alternative investments.
Mezzanine financing partners typically have a lesser degree of involvement in a company than a private equity firm, given their position in the capital structure. They often will require a board seat or two, but not control of the board. Mezzanine investors typically will not have any operating control, but will have a few negative controls, enabling them to prevent a sale of the business or a significant amount of capital expenditures without their consent. These are typically not cumbersome to most business owners.
Often, mezzanine investors bring benefits to a company, such as:
Efficient access to capital. Minority capital raises typically take less time than a traditional sale process and often can be completed in two to four months, depending on the level of capital required.
Operational advice through operating partners, consultants and relationships with other companies in their portfolio
Better financial controls and more formal reporting packages
Halo effect. Institutional investors bring a "stamp of approval" to companies seeking to sell to private equity firms or into the public markets.
An investment banker can help you determine the appropriate capital structure for your business needs, identify the right mezzanine partner for your organization and negotiate the terms and conditions of the financing. The financing can be structured as a longer-term financing solution, as most mezzanine investors will continue to provide additional capital as needed to support the company's growth, which can make for a great business partnership.

Details of Musical / Play and the Ticket Luck value
The magic and impact of theater is known to all and sundry. Being one of the oldest and most influential forms of performing arts, theater enjoys a unique status among different forms of arts. Over the years, the world of theater has changed a lot and theater productions are quite advanced today in terms of production, presentation and promotion than they ever were. That's the reason why musicals and plays still rule the hearts of millions despite the heavy presence new age media.
Typically, musicals and plays are differentiated from each other on the basis of content and presentation. Plays are said to be theatrical presentation where story is told through dialogues and expressions while Musicals include elements like music, songs and dance. Again, these are different from Opera where the whole proceedings involve singing.
In old times, the word 'play' used to referred to only those literature pieces that were written to be presented as theatrical performance. But there were several exceptions as well as some of the greatest dramatists preferred to publish their work rather than staging it. Today, these classifications have blurred and a usual theater enthusiast is only concerned with the ENTERTAINMENT part, no matter if it's a musical or a play.
The history of musical and plays can be traced back to several centuries ago and it is one of the earliest forms of performing arts. It was only since the early 20th century that plays containing music and dance became known as musicals, but such format was present since ancient Greeks and Romans times. Same is applied to Middle Ages and 1700's; however none of the work of these times has impacted modern day musicals as much as the theatrical presentations from the French and Viennese of 1800's.
The present day musicals and plays are mostly inspired from the operettas and vaudeville shows of America, France and England of 19th century. The phenomena developed from the mid 1800's onwards and it is mainly credited to the successful musical productions of Gilbert & Sullivan, musical farces of Harrigan & Hart and The Black Crook; a popular musical of 1860. The 1900's brought distinctive sound and style to American musicals and made them a world phenomenon. Early 1900's were the golden decades for theater industry as many new performing arts venues were established and Broadway magic spread everywhere. The Merry Widow, Follies and Showboat were the ultimate stage presentations of those times. Even during Great Depression, musicals like Of Thee I Sing, On Your Toes and Cole Porter shined like gold.
The 1940's proved a path-breaking decade for the world of musicals and plays. At one hand, success of Pal Joey and Weill and Lady in the Dark proved gateway for realistic musicals, then on the other hand, super extravagant Oklahoma changed the whole concept of musicals. It was similar styled productions Annie Get Your Gun and Kiss Me Kate. The 1950's brought new dimension to music of Broadway and the songs and dances from The King and I, Gypsy and My Fair Lady became classics.
Fast forward to today, and we have musicals and plays shining brightly and distinctively in the constellation of entertainment world. If you still hear news about a Broadway revival faring better than a big budgeted Hollywood production, then it shows the impact, influence and popularity of theater on the society. The plays and musicals of today can be divided into many categories on the basis of their genre, presentation and production values. The subjects vary from comedy to tragedy, from fantasy to satire, from history to social issues and many others areas.
The terms Broadway and Off-Broadway are commonly used to distinguish the musicals and plays in America. While many people still think that location is the main difference between Broadway and Off-Broadway theater; it has more to do with theater size, grandeur of production and commercial orientation than anything else. In London, West End is the hub of theater while other countries also houses similar theater leagues.
Musicals can also be categorized as originals, adaptations or revivals. Original musicals are those that are planned and written exclusively for stage while adaptations are taken either from a novel or movie. Some of the biggest Broadway hits were adapted from movies. The Lion King, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Full Monty, Hairspray, 42nd Street and Beauty and the Beast are supreme examples of Hollywood-to-Stage adaptations. Alternately, many musicals also inspired Hollywood movies. These include the likes of Chicago, The Philadelphia Story, A Chorus Line, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Oliver!, The Phantom of the Opera, South Pacific, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and several other musicals.
The list of classic plays and musicals is also incomplete without an honorable mention to Cats, The Fantasticks, Hello Dolly! and Les Miserables. The musicals and plays of today are highlighted by high-tech set design, state-of-the-art lighting and top-notch technology. Wicked, Mamma Mia, Billy Elliot, Shrek and Mary Poppins are premier examples of this advancement in the production side of theater.
Elements like musical score, story, choreography, performances and set design also play a significant role in the success of any play. Besides monetary success and long-runs, critical acclaim is also essential. The most stand-out musicals of the year compete for different awards such as Drama Desk Award, New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, Outer Circle Critics Award, Obie Award and Broadway-only honor Tony Awards.
To sum up, musicals and plays are the indispensable part of arts and entertainment. We offer exclusive tickets for the biggest theatricals of today. So grab your musicals and plays tickets and enjoy the magic of theater.

Honey Jalapeño Pickle Ice Cream From Sweet Action Ice Cream in Denver
To get the right pickle for this surprisingly refreshing flavor, the team at Sweet Action Ice Cream teamed up with local pickle company, The Real Dill. They chop up those cukes and add Colorado honey, and then they throw in some spicy bits of fresh jalapeño. All of this gets mixed in with local cream, and, in the end, this unique flavor is a little bit salty, a little bit spicy, and has the underlining sweetness one wants from a frozen dessert. Of course, if savory-spicy ice cream isn't your thing but you still want something distinctive, try one of their other awesome flavors like honey almond orange blossom, salted butterscotch or olive oil.
