For women, the magic of fairy days conjures up a spell of a simpler, carefree time. For little girls, it's a fantasy come true – the big screen come to life!
In years past in San Diego County, Summers Past Farms opens their arms wide and welcomes everyone to this magical day – for free! Yes, I said for FREE!
Nestled in a remote location off of an old freeway, Summers Past Farms is a quiet place with an enchanted ambiance created by the proprietors. Even with no Fairy Festival underway, a trip to this lovely, serene family-owned farm is a journey back in time. But, be sure to arrive early, because parking on-site is limited and street parking problematic.
While dressing up as fairies is encouraged, it is not mandatory. Last year, the Princesses P had special Fairy costumes for this special day. The 2012 Fairy Festival was their first time and they were not disappointed.

Well, a funny thing happened between last year and this year – the Princesses P outgrew their fairy costumes! What to do? What to do?
Well, a trip to the Fairy Wings and Things vendor at the Fairy Festival was in order! So, dressed in their "favorite color" dresses, pink for Princess P and lavender for Princess Sweetie Pie, the Princesses delved into the task of transforming themselves from just ordinary Princesses into Fairy Princesses!
Fairy crowns
Shopping for wings and things…
Princess Sweetie Pie wanted a red-flowered garland crown and she reached up (middle picture above left) and said "I want that one" as she chewed on the package containing her polka-dot wings. After trying it on, she took it off her head and said "I'll wear it tomorrow." Well, Mommy (Tiffany) would have none of that! "If you aren't going to wear it today, then I'm not buying it for you!" They arrived at a compromise and Princess Sweet Pie had a butterfly clip for her hair. Princess P knew right away what she wanted: rainbow wings, an aqua garland crown and a lavender butterfly scepter! She was all set!
Fairy in flight – costumes complete, they were off to a day full of adventure and fantasy!
Second costume crisis of the day: "Mommy, I don't want to wear the wings…" confessed Princess Sweetie Pie.
"Okay, let Katie wear them," offered Tiffany. Problem solved and happy Katie (the Princesses P's friend).
Fairy musings – a wingless fairy at the fairy bridge
With wings and things in place, the newly transformed Princess Fairies were off to the first event of the day: the Fairy Parade!
Winding through a dirt garden path filled with flowers, birdhouses, and special garden décor, the March of the Fairies signifies the beginning of the Fairy Festival.
Fairies gather where flowers grow.
"I want to go to the little house! I want to go to the little house!" declared Princess Sweetie Pie. It's amazing what she remembered from last year! She was only two and a half then and now she's only three and a half!
The world beyond the window…
Fairy sisters in the little house

"Mommy, I'm hungry!" exclaimed all the fairies at the same time! It was 10:30 a.m.! NOTE: there is limited food and drink opportunities at Summers Past Farms. They have a drink bar where they mix up smoothies and sell coffee drinks, with small treats like packaged cookies; but a day at the free Fairy Festival requires that you pack a picnic! We were ready with lots of food and all of us (me, Mommy, the Princesses P, Grams, Grammy Jo and friends, Angela, Katie and Miles) settled into a relatively private place near the little house for our mid-morning picnic!

So, we sat down to eat this:
Fairy Picnic Menu:
Sweet & savory Pink Fairy Turkey Roll-ups
Fairy Cakes (Mini Cinnamon Muffin Melts)
Salted Caramel Cake Bites covered in semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate and caramel
Pea Salad with Bacon and Cashews in Tomato Cups
Classic Egg Salad on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Grapes in orange cups
Turkey Flower Cut-out Sandwiches
This is what happened:
From upper left to right clockwise: Angela helping me take the final shots for my upcoming Pea Salad with Bacon and Cashews in Tomato Cups post; pea salad disaster; white chocolate covered Salted Caramel Cake Bites with no sprinkles; Grammy Jo balancing her plate in her lap and trying to eat without spilling; Katie, Angela and Miles chowing down (the other fairies with Grams and Mommy were off to the restroom!); cake bites in disarray; Princess Sweetie Pie's plate full of goodies left behind (middle photo)!
Picnic over and surprise! The Disney Princesses arrived for a photo shoot!
Lovely fairy, Princess P, in awe of the Disney Princesses!
Meeting the Princess Aurora
Meeting Belle and Cinderella
Meeting Merida
Meeting Snow White
Throughout, the Disney Princesses were lovely, sweet, charming young girls, spending time with each girl and not rushing although the line was long. The Princesses P were in princess heaven, although Princess Sweetie Pie was exceedingly shy with each Disney Princess (probably overwhelmed by their beauty and seeing the princesses "live" instead of as a cartoon).
Summers Past Farms is full of picture-taking opportunities. They have created facades of various old world-looking entrances that lead to nowhere, but are full of imagination.
Picturesque places for photo ops
And, they have two shops: a soap shop and the main barn turned into a large retail shop full of magical things including fairies, gnomes, cottages and lots of other things to buy and take home to create your own fairy garden.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Learn about Reedley College exhibitions, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Reedley College college degree information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Reedley College.
If you have a particular school in mind that is clearly your first choice, then early decision might work well for you. Please note that if you are accepted under early decision, you are making a commitment to attend that school, unless its financial aid package is inadequate. Usually, you can apply to only one school under the early decision program. If you're not accepted, you still have the option to apply to other schools later, during the regular application period.
Early action is similar to early decision, except that you aren't required to attend a school that accepts you. Some schools allow you to apply for early action while interested in other colleges, but some don't, so you need to request information from each school. Keep in mind that there is less incentive for an early action college to accept you because you aren't committing to attend the school. Beyond degree requirements such as Reedley College class registration, you may consider Ursuline College Blackboard app for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Philips Arena is an indoor arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Completed in 1999 at a cost of $213.5 million, it is home to the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA. It was also the home of the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL before the team was sold and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 2011. It is owned by the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority and operated by the Atlanta Hawks. The arena seats 19,445 for basketball and 18,545 for ice hockey. The largest crowd ever for an Atlanta Hawks basketball game was in the 2008 NBA playoffs, where there was an approximate number of people of about 20,485. It includes 92 luxury suites and 1,866 club seats. For concerts and other entertainment events, the arena can seat 21,000.
The arena is laid out in a rather unusual manner, with the club seats and luxury boxes aligned solely along one side of the playing surface, and the general admission seating along the other three sides (the arrangement was later emulated at the Detroit Lions' home, Ford Field). This unique layout is a vast contrast to many of its contemporaries, which have their revenue-generating luxury boxes and club seats located in the 'belly' of the arena, thus causing the upper deck to be 2–4 stories higher. The layout at Philips was done so as to be able to bring the bulk of the seats closer to the playing surface while still making available a sufficient number of revenue-raising club seats and lodges.
On the exterior, angled steel columns supporting the roof facing downtown spell out "ATLANTA" and the side facing the Georgia World Congress Center spells out "CNN." The arena adjoins the CNN Center. The Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center rail station below the arena provides access to MARTA public transportation.
Philips Electronics purchased the naming rights to the arena upon construction.
For the 2007-2008 season, Philips Arena utilized the new "see-through" shot clock units which allow spectators seated behind the basket to see the action without having the clocks interfere with their view and for basketball joining the FedExForum, Wachovia Center, TD Banknorth Garden, and the Time Warner Cable Arena. Video advertising panels replaced the traditional scrolling panels.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, many cities starting building new state-of-the-art sporting venues for their NHL and/or NBA franchises, or in hopes of attaining one. Many of these arenas had modern amenities for their high-end customers, such as luxury boxes, club seats, and large, posh club-level concourses; some even had practice facilities on-site. These attractions were rarely found in arenas constructed in the early 1970s when The Omni was built and led to its chief tenant, the Atlanta Hawks, being put in a competitive disadvantage. The operating manager of the current arena in place Ted Turner wanted an expansion hockey team but was told by the NHL that a new arena would have to be built. That, along with the fact that The Omni was rapidly deteriorating, led to a new venue being built. After much consideration of possible other sites, it was decided that the Omni would be demolished, and a new Omni built in the same location, starting in 1997. This new coliseum became the Philips Arena. The Philips Arena held its first event with a September 1999 concert by the musician Sir Elton John.
Philips Arena occupies the site of the Omni Coliseum, Atlanta's former sports arena. The Omni's "center-hung scoreboard" now hangs in the lobby of Philips Arena, where it still displays The Omni's logo along with those of Philips Arena, the Hawks, and the Thrashers (who never played in The Omni). The scoreboard still functions and displays information relevant to the game taking place in the arena.
Philips Arena is among the busiest arenas for concerts in the world, having sold well over 550,000 concert tickets in 2007.[1] World Championship Wrestling (WCW) hosted a number of professional wrestling events including WCW Nitro on June 5, 2000 at Philips Arena before it was sold to WWE in spring 2001. The arena was also host to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Royal Rumble event in January 2002 and Backlash 2007 in April 2007, and has hosted several episodes of Raw including February 6, 2006 and SmackDown and ECW. SmackDown and ECW returned to the arena on August 5, 2008 for a TV Taping. Raw returned to the arena on November 17, 2008 along with an ECW taping. The 2009 WWE Draft also took place on April 13, 2009. The arena will also host the annual Royal Rumble pay per view event in 2010.
It hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 2003.
The facility played host to the 2004 US Figure Skating Championships.
The venue had been named the site of the 2005 Southeastern Conference Women's Basketball Tournament; however, when the NHL announced in early 2004 that the 55th NHL All-Star Game, scheduled for February 2005 would be held in Atlanta, arena officials withdrew the Southeastern Conference Women's Basketball Tournament - which was then moved 140 miles to the northeast along Interstate 85 to the BI-LO Center in Greenville, South Carolina. Oddly, the arena would not even be the host of that planned All-Star Game due to the 2004–05 NHL lockout. As a result, Atlanta became the second (San Jose being the first) city to lose a planned All-Star Game because of a labor dispute. Philips Arena would later be announced as home to the 56th NHL All-Star Game in 2008.
The venue also hosted the UFC 88: Breakthrough event on September 26.
Since the opening in 1999, Philips Arena has been a hotspot for performances from many prominent singers and bands. These include Britney Spears,Pearl Jam, Tina Turner, Madonna, Shakira, ACDC, Bon Jovi, Green Day, Tokio Hotel, Christina Agulera, Beyonce, T.I., Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake, KISS, Blink-182, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Lopez, Slipknot, Barry Manilow, Avril Lavigne, Foreigner, Rush, Roger Waters, U2, Elton John, Jay-Z, The Police, The Jonas Brothers, and many others.
The DVD film for the tour Destiny Fulfilled ... And Lovin' It by Destiny's Child was filmed there. On September 12 2006, Latin mega-star Shakira performed one sold-out concert, part of her 2006-2007 World "Oral Fixation Tour".
Widespread Panic performed 17 sold out shows over nine years, from 1999 through 2007.
On October 19, 2008, superstar musician Janet Jackson will bring her Rock Witchu Tour to the arena; On the 30th Philips Arena will host the 2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars, with performances from some of the top gymnasts in the US including Olympic favorites Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson. On 9 November 2008, the music icon Tina Turner rocked the arena performing hits such as Proud Mary, What's Love Got To Do With It, and The Best for her Tina: Live in Concert Tour. With the first date selling out in days, a second date on November 10, 2008 was announced for Tina Turner. Coldplay performed two concerts on November 5, 2008 and on November 11, 2008 as part of their Viva la Vida Tour. On November 24, 2008, Madonna performed a sold-out concert at the arena as part of her Sticky and Sweet Tour. AC/DC performed their concert on December 16 as part of their Black Ice world tour. On July 1, 2009, superstar, songwriter, and actress Beyonce Knowles will bring her I Am... Tour to the arena.
On March 14, 2008, an EF2 Tornado struck near Philips Arena. The arena only received minor exterior damage.

|Summary, etc.:
| The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don't wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom's wedding, but that was a special case.)Now we're facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it's not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We're going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another--that was our one rule). We're headed off to start our real lives. Tomorrow night at Gilda's we'll launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. It's when we'll need our Pants the most.From the Hardcover edition.

MIAMI -- The Washington Nationals transferred rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday.
Strasburg, the hard-throwing No. 1 pick in last year's draft, will have the reconstructive elbow operation known as Tommy John surgery on Friday. He finished his rookie season with a 5-3 record and 2.91 ERA.
Washington also elevated shortstop Danny Espinosa to the 40-man roster from Triple-A Syracuse and recalled catcher Wilson Ramos from Syracuse.
Espinosa had 22 home runs and 25 stolen bases in the minors this season.
"He plays second and short, so he'll do both up here," National manager Jim Riggleman said, "but he'll get significant time at second base."

Shilin Residence Rose Garden Undergoes Overhaul
Have you noticed a change in the rose garden at Shilin Residence?The Public Works Department employed "green" ecological engineering and based on the principle of restoring the old vintage look to overhaul the landscape of the rose garden. In addition to maintaining the original appearance of the garden, it also planted a new batch of roses in preparations for a blooming garden in the future.Parks and Street Lights Office (PSLO) Director Huang Li-yuan remarked that the rose garden of the Shilin Residence is one of the most important tourist attractions of Taipei City and the soul of the Shilin Residence Park. During springtime, beautiful and brightly-colored roses decorate the entire garden, drawing large number of tourists to the location. Yet, the rose garden has faced problems such as the wear and tear of old facilities and buildup of stagnant water inside the garden. To ensure tourists enjoy their visits to the facility, the management decided to overhaul the garden, retaining the original appearance while refurbishing the drainage system, pavement, and barrier-free access options.According to Chief Ho of the agency's Horticulture Management Division, there are five different species of roses in the garden, including 24 types of floribunda roses, 10 types of English roses, 9 types of French roses, 24 types of hybrid tea roses, and 23 types of shrub roses. In addition to the roses, the agency also planted 55 prune trees representing the former resident of the complex Chiang Kai-shek.

Britain's manufacturers suffered higher costs for production materials last month, stoking concerns about mounting inflationary pressures, analysts said.
Input prices rose 0.9 percent in November compared with October, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in a statement. That compared with market expectations for a gain of 0.8 percent, Dow Jones Newswires said.
The large increase largely reflected higher prices for crude oil and fuels, according to the ONS.
On a 12-month basis, prices surged 9.0 percent last month compared with November 2009. That beat forecasts for an 8.3-percent increase and followed a hefty annual gain of 8.2 percent in October.
"November's UK producer input price figures suggest that cost pressures in the manufacturing sector are still building," said economist Samuel Tombs at the Capital Economics consultancy in London.
"The stronger-than-forecast figures will reinforce expectations that the Bank of England will keep policy on hold for some time to come, as the economic recovery is weak but inflationary pressures remain a concern."
Input prices had been scheduled for publication on Friday, alongside output numbers, but they were delayed because of concerns over possible errors.
The ONS said Friday that output costs -- the price of goods leaving factories -- had slowed to 3.9 percent in November, compared with the same level last year. That followed a larger increase of 4.0 percent in October.
Britain awaits official inflation data for November to be published on Tuesday. The Bank of England's central task is to try and keep annual British consumer price inflation close to a government-set target of 2.0 percent.
However British annual inflation hit a four-month high of 3.2 percent in October.
The Bank of England last week voted to keep its key interest rate at a record low 0.50 percent, as expectations that Britain's robust economic recovery will slow next year offsets the country's high rate of inflation.
BoE policymakers also decided to maintain the size of the central bank's stimulus programme at 200 billion pounds (238 billion euros, 315 billion dollars).

Flights were temporarily delayed at the world's busiest airport shortly after a tornado touched down, according to the Associated Preess. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport spokesman Reese McCranie says flights were delayed for about 15 minutes Wednesday, before allowing them to depart.
In Cobb County, damage was reported in Mableton, where a roof of a building was blown off, powerlines were knocked down and a gas leak was reported. (See more on Cobb damage)

Resembling modified, embellished desert refuse, the installation will incorporate a video tracking device that will engage audio, video, and kinetic elements in response to a viewer's path through the work. Visually, the assemblages will refer to large, enigmatic artifacts I have encountered along the Colorado and Green River corridors in the Utah desert. The original objects are saturated with potential folklore and metaphor. As viewers trigger sensors, the sculptures themselves will physically shudder with the desire to communicate. 2009-03-30T16:35:58Z

Shabana Azmi, Girija Devi, Supriya Devi and Rituparna Sengupta. To be brought before the camera in London, Varanasi, Calcutta and Santiniketan by a Bengali filmmaker. London-based Sangeeta Datta is known as a film historian, singer, documentary maker, lecturer and, for the last few months, as Ashs coach on the sets of Chokher Bali, where she has been assisting Rituparno Ghosh.
Mango Blossoms, Dattas first feature film, is likely to hit the floors next February in London, where protagonist Swati, to be played by Shabana, is devastated by the news of the death of her husband and child. When the classical singer finds herself unable to sing, she returns to India and her guruji (Girija Devi). Near the ashram, Swati meets a lost man who eventually leads her back to her home in Calcutta, where her mother Supriya and sister Rituparna live.
Though the cast is largely finalised and the script complete, the search is on for a producer. With the London schedule pushing up costs, she fears the budget will be a hurdle. Sometimes I wonder if I am being too ambitious, as this is my first project, reflects Datta. But working in Tollywood for the past few months has given her hope.
I have spoken to quite a few people who have shown interest, she adds. Working on Chokher Bali was as much about gaining experience in the local industry as it was about the project itself. I know now what kind of technicians and actors I want to work with, smiles the Ph.D in 19th Century English writing.
The stop in Calcutta has seen Datta dabble in other untested waters as well. The Rabindrasangeet singer, who trained under the late Ashoketaru Bandopadhyay, has cut an album, Sakhi Bhabona Kahare Bole, released on April 15. The 39-year-old runs a school, Rabishikha, in London, and has been touring England with two Bharatanatyam and Kathak dancers for Sakhi, a project that sets dance to Rabindrasangeet on the theme of friendship.
Datta, the mother of two sons, has worked in diverse areas. During her days at Jadavpur University she worked under Jasodhara Bagchi. Having shifted base to Mumbai after marriage, she taught English and film studies at St Xaviers College. There she worked with guest lecturers such as Shyam Benegal, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Kalpana Lajmi and Shabana. She assisted family friend Basu Bhattacharya on his final project, Aastha, but left for England during post-production. She has made two documentaries The Way I See It, about women filmmakers, and In Search of Durga, which examines the perception of women and children in England of Durga Puja. She has also written a book on Shyam Benegal, published by the British Film Institute.
Opposed to the uncritical celebration of Bollywood abroad, with limited representation of the discourse of parallel cinema, she has started In Focus, a film society which arranges screenings and talks by Indian filmmakers across England. She has toured with retrospectives on Shabana, Aparna Sen and Om Puri, as well as with Rituparno and Utsav last year.

Earthy collage
In the garb of a dance drama, Metho Surer Arshi is actually a collage of Bengali folk forms, which Sur Bahar, a centre for cultural studies, is slated to debut at Madhusudan Mancha on April 23. Bhatiali, bhawaiyya, leto, domni, pala gaan, kathakatha, dhamail, shaari gaan, panchali, gambhira, jhumur and several other forms have been woven into a storyline that tries to relate the rustic tone with the contemporary. The project has been conceived and developed by Sunil Saha over three years, while Krishna Samaddar has improvised and directed the 36 folk pieces some traditional and some with modern lyrics set to traditional tunes.

In its fifth year, Maruti Udyog has lent its muscle to the event, the national finals of which will be held in Delhi on May 10.
Block basics
Thirty years expertise of creating contemporary western and Indian clothes, furnishings and accessories, in India and abroad, with original prints and designs, is in Calcutta at the Anokhi Jaipur store at the Forum, on Elgin Road. All garments, quilts, spreads, throws, cushion cover, table linen, scarves garments, etc, are handmade, from fabric processing to block printing, using vegetable, mineral and chemical dyes.
The company employs a whole community of block-makers (the blocks are carved from wood), hand block printers and crafts people, who produce the goods, including bags and curtains in traditional styles, that are marketed through the Anokhi Jaipur boutiques nationally and internationally.

Pretty good looking site, Ward. The plug by SC is cool. I saw the question about your character in the Perfect Assassin "Is he the same as Silva's guy". I have read both, and I would say a loud NO. I loved your first book (read it in a pre-pub edition. I need to read another one soon after I get out of the 13th century.ReplyDelete

Bohemia, New York (PressExposure) March 06, 2011 -- Equipping medical laboratories with appropriate medical laboratory equipment helps medical experts to carry out diagnostic applications with enhanced efficiency. To serve the requirements of medical laboratories, many established distributors of laboratory equipment offer both new and recertified models of medical laboratory devices.
New Equipment Ensures Durability
Microscopes, hematology analyzers, blood gas analyzers, coagulation analyzers, histology equipment, chemistry analyzers, centrifuges and other medical laboratory equipment are important for routine diagnostic applications in labs.
Though brand new medical laboratory equipment is an expensive option, buying new would ensure greater performance consistency, durability and reliable warranty. Moreover, new equipment is free of technical flaws as it passes through stringent quality tests before being offered for sale. So using new medical laboratory devices allows medical analysts to carry out diagnostic applications without worrying about technical errors and other inconsistencies that could occur with faulty equipment.
Recertified Equipment - Cost Saving Option
Medical facilities operating with tight budgets often find it difficult to purchase new equipment. Recertified devices are a great option for such facilities as the products are offered at half the price of new models. Moreover, recertified medical laboratory equipment of leading brands performs as well as new, and are durable as well. Before recertification and sale, used medical laboratory equipment is thoroughly tested by factory-trained technicians at the distributor's site. If any flaws are detected, the equipment is revamped in according to original manufacturer specifications. The refurbished products are recertified with warranty before they are delivered to medical laboratories.
Find a Reputable Dealer
To purchase new and recertified models of medical laboratory equipment, the best option is to depend on reliable online distributors. Most online stores maintain a large inventory of each product with detailed descriptions of features, advantages, warranty options and price structure. This helps to compare and choose the appropriate model. Established dealers offer quality medical laboratory equipment at competitive prices as well as convenient shipment and timely product delivery.

Rays-Rangers Preview
Tampa Bay Rays starters haven't allowed a run halfway through this four-game series and the club has won four straight road starts by Chris Archer.
He'll try to help the Rays bounce back from a rare road defeat in Wednesday night's matchup with the Texas Rangers.
Drew Smyly earned his first win for Tampa Bay (58-61) with 7 2-3 innings in Monday's 7-0 win before Jeremy Hellickson lasted six the next night. The problem for the Rays was that their bullpen blew a two-run lead in a 3-2, 14-inning defeat – just their sixth in their last 25 road games.
The Rays have set an AL record by allowing three runs or fewer in 16 straight road games, with the 1908 Chicago Cubs holding the all-time record of 21.
Archer (7-6, 3.33 ERA) will get the ball next after going 2-0 with a 1.95 ERA in his last four road starts – all in this 25-game span for Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs over six innings Friday in a 4-3, 10-inning road win over the Cubs.
The right-hander has never pitched in Arlington, going 0-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two home outings against the Rangers. Adrian Beltre has a single in six at-bats against him and Alex Rios a single in four.
Rios is expected to be back in the lineup after not starting the first two games of this series due to a sprained right ankle suffered in Sunday's 6-2 victory at Houston. He pinch hit in Tuesday's win, and Wednesday figures to either be in right field or serve as the designated hitter depending on how much pain he still has.
"Since I'm going to be standing on my feet every day, it's something I'll have to deal with the rest of the year," Rios told MLB's official website. "I just have to go day by day and see how it feels."
Rios has just four hits in his last 29 at-bats. Shin-Soo Choo, plagued by an ankle problem throughout the season, has played in right field the last two games with Daniel Robertson and Jim Adduci getting starts in left.
Texas (47-72) prevailed Tuesday when Adam Rosales walked with the bases loaded in the 14th to boost the AL's worst home record to 22-34. The Rangers haven't won consecutive games in Arlington since June 27-28 over Minnesota.
Leonys Martin notched the first four-hit game of his career as the center fielder broke out of a 6-for-54 slump over his previous 16 games.
The Rangers' Miles Mikolas (1-4, 6.57) has shown some recent improvement as a starter as he looks for his first win at home, where he is 0-3 with a 13.17 ERA in three starts with opponents batting .406 off him.
The right-hander's last two outings have been on the road, with Mikolas yielding a total of three runs in 12 innings. Mikolas, whose ERA was 10.05 four starts ago, has never faced Tampa Bay.

My/ New/ Virus[CD]
~ Minu Vyrus
Product Notes
Mentality of one by Ryan Bartek Anyone that's been paying attention to my exploits knows of my brief love affair with the Industrial scene. On a kinghell binge to try and unearth as much local talent in this realm, I didn't find much apart from a few live acts. Minu Vyrus (get it? like My New Virus) have finally emerged from the woodwork. With their mega-pro publicity shots, super production values and classy album art, it is obvious they are gunning for the stars. But what of the music? This is a weird one. Partially Monstrum Sepsis, the rest feels like Genesis, Ewigkeit and lighter Skinny Puppy meets Aphex Twin and Gil Mantera's Party Dream. There is an obvious attention to detail in that there are eight-billion sublayers going on. The vocals are processed as hell with a gazilion effects. In all, this is a mixed bag offering. It gets better as it goes in and by the end of the album you're reaching the best work Minu Vyrus have to offer. The material is just as haphazard-yet-cohesive feeling as Skinny Puppy (the only one ever to really pull off that flavor), but the floaty, drugged-out atmospheres give it an odd pop flavor. Shit, they even utilize that 'Do you believe in love after love' futuristic sheen. It sputters, it blazes, it meanders, then it gets right to work. Weird jaded bastards like myself take note - the next disc these guys drop will own all, granted they keep refining their sound.

Press Box: Hurdle, Francona win Manager of Year honors
The SportsXchange•
For helping his franchise end a national record of futility, the Pittsburgh Pirates' Clint Hurdle was selected the National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday.
The American League honor went to Terry Francona, who led the Indians to the postseason during his first year in Cleveland.
The Pirates snapped their run of 21 consecutive losing seasons, the longest streak in the major North American sports leagues, and advanced to the playoffs. As a result, Hurdle received 25 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, easily outdistancing runner-up Don Mattingly of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Mattingly garnered two first-place votes for guiding a midseason turnaround that led the Dodgers to the NL West championship.
Francona edged Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell for the AL honor, with the Cleveland skipper receiving 16 of 30 first-place votes. Farrell received 12 first-place votes.
The Indians went 68-94 in 2012 under managers Manny Acta and Sandy Alomar, but they bounced back this year after hiring Francona, who led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. Cleveland finished 92-70 this season before falling to the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL wild-card game.
--The Philadelphia Phillies signed free agent outfielder Marlon Byrd to a two-year contract, multiple media outlets reported.
The deal is for $16 million, according to ESPN New York.
Byrd's signing is the first major free agent deal of the offseason.
Byrd, 36, revitalized his career this year with the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates. He batted a combined .291 with a career-high 24 homers and 88 RBIs during the regular season, then drove in five runs in six postseason games with Pittsburgh.
The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to approve the term sheet on a $97 million plan to renovate the Minnesota Timberwolves' home arena of Target Center, which is 23 years old and in need of a facelift.
The deal is between the Timberwolves and WNBA's Lynx, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) Facilities, and the city of Minneapolis. The public-private partnership is a 50/50 split, with half the money coming from the city and half coming from private entities. Minneapolis will contribute $48.5 million to the project, the Timberwolves and Lynx will pay $43 million and AEG Facilities will pay $5.5 million.
After months of negotiations and two Minneapolis City Council Committee meetings, the approval by the Council allows the project to begin moving forward. The first step will be convening a design group to start the process of designing and planning the renovation.
Former Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne said that he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but he received medical clearance to continue racing.
The clearance has come from physicians at the Mayo Clinic and from NASCAR, said Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 winner who drives for Roush Fenway Racing.
"I appreciate everyone's concern and their willingness to call and to want to find out more and all their support," said Bayne, 22. "(We wanted) to make this announcement because we didn't want to keep everybody in the dark about things once we got information and got a diagnosis."

2011 Ford Dividend, Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it will resume paying a dividend in March, more than five years after it halted payments because of financial problems.
The company's board approved a quarterly dividend of 5 cents per share. It will be paid on March 1 to shareholders of record as of Jan. 31.
"We have made tremendous progress in reducing debt and generating consistent positive earnings and cash flow," Executive Chairman Bill Ford said in a statement. "The board believes it is important to share the benefits of our improved financial performance with our shareholders."
Ford stopped paying a dividend in September 2006, when it was deeply in debt. The company lost $12.7 billion that year.
Since then Ford has shed brands like Volvo and Mercury, closed factories, offered buyouts to thousands of employees and earned praise and new customers for products like the Ford Explorer SUV and Ford Fiesta subcompact. Ford reported its tenth straight profitable quarter in the third quarter of this year, and it earned $6.6 billion in 2010.
Ford previously planned to wait to resume its dividend until it achieved investment-grade status. Ford's credit sank to so-called "junk" status in 2005 as it racked up billions in debt.
But Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth said Ford changed its mind over the summer and decided it didn't need to wait for the ratings agencies to act.
Booth said Ford's priority was making sure it was investing in new products and overseas growth. The company then put off action on the dividend until it completed negotiations with the United Auto Workers union on a new four-year contract. Ford workers approved a new contract in October that raises Ford's labor costs by less than 1 percent per year.

Faster, safer, more secure
Line-less: Cavotec Moormaster's MoorMaster automatic mooring systems in situ at Salalah
Manufacturers of auto-mooring equipment for ports and harbours see only benefits for users,as David Foxwell explains
Such a new technology is automatic mooring, claim well known manufacturers of automatic mooring equipment, who argue that automatic mooring systems are faster, more efficient, safer, and more costeffective than conventional mooring techniques, and provide ports using them with a 'win-win' solution.
Perhaps the best known supplier of automatic mooring technology is Cavotec Moormaster in New Zealand, whose automatic mooring systems are based on an elegantly basic design of large vacuum pads and a self-regulating tidal arm.
"MoorMaster is a labour-free mooring solution that is safer and more reliable than the time-honoured process of tying down ships with ropes and lines. The control and predictability it provides port operators allows for huge increases in operational efficiency," explains company spokesperson Michael Scheepers.
Cavotec Moormaster describes MoorMaster as "a reliable automated mooring system", and "a solution allowing the maritime industry to improve productivity and efficiency". As Mr Scheepers explains: "The MoorMaster automated mooring unit removes all of the problems associated with the traditional way of mooring with ropes.
"Risk of injury to shore and ship personnel by mooring ropes is eliminated. The technology provides continuous load monitoring, relayed in real time to operations personnel, and multiple redundancies of vacuum pads and inherent fail safe features ensure secure mooring, even during power cuts or loss of control signals. Being of robust mechanical design, using only top-rated components, reliable operations are ensured,"says Mr Scheepers.
As with other automatic mooring systems, the MoorMaster also makes for more efficient and effective mooring. Cavotec Moormaster quotes a typical attachment time of less than 12 seconds, and instant release.With an automatic system, notes the company, there are no more delays while waiting for mooring crews to become available. Only one operator is required, based ashore or onboard, to activate and remotely monitor the mooring system, and there is no disruption of other duties or mandatory rest hours of ship crews.
Using automated systems can provide reduction of crew numbers on ships and pier on fixed-route operations, and reduce costs by eliminating those associated with enlarged pier structures when larger ship arrivals are scheduled.
"Fast mooring means reduced operation of the ship's engines, less need for tugs, and reduces emissions into the port environment, and with enhanced turn-around time, the sea voyage need not be undertaken at such a high speed, which translates into fuel savings and further reductions in emissions. Eliminating rope, paint and fender wear, vastly extend the life cycle of these products," says Mr Scheepers.
Cavotec Moormaster's competitor TTS Port Equipment recently completed installation of an automatic mooring system which will service one of the railway berths at the Port of Trelleborg in Sweden.A transverse load of up to 1,000kN is capable of being matched by the system's holding force, making it, the company believes, the highest capacity system of its kind to date.
The system has been installed on Trelleborg's railway ferry berth No 9, where the ferries connect via a stern ramp.The installation is situated along the quay line at the outer end of the berth and will sustain the transverse forces created by ships while berthed. Scandlines'Skåne and Mecklenburg,both serving routes between Sweden and Germany, will be the first to use the system.
The TTS auto-mooring system comprises a framework fixed to the quay, inside which runs a vertically rolling unit activated by a hydraulic motor. The mooring hook is connected to the unit and is automatically centred within the fixed stand. Two hydraulic cylinders supply the mooring force. The system is remotely controlled and its load monitoring and alarm functions relays information to operations staff in real-time. The system's safety features ensure that ships remain securely moored even during power cuts or loss of control signals.
TTS highlights many of the same advantages for its mooring system as Cavotec Moormaster. Designed to secure the ship quickly and release it instantly,the automooring system offers significant benefits in terms of safety, economy and the environment, and the risk of injury to workers onboard ship and on shore during the mooring process will be eliminated. Only one operator is required.
The TTS contract included design, supply, fabrication, surface treatment, testing and commissioning. The system includes a wagon, fixed stand and a machinery house for the hydraulic power unit and an electrical cabinet. In addition, a telemetry unit and panels have been supplied for installation onboard the two ferries. The recess and bollard onboard the ships will be positioned to connect with the auto-mooring gripping arm.
As company spokesperson Håkan Jönsson explains, TTS produces a range of auto-mooring systems, some using vacuum technology similar to that used by Cavotec Moormaster, but it also produces the grip-type system used at Trelleborg, and a semi-automatic bollard, or SAB, which is also designed to reduce the number of personnel needed on shore during mooring.
The SAB operates as a vertical telescopic moving bollard that can be tilted against the ship's hull, and consists of a hydraulically-operated vertical telescopic arm including a tilting cylinder and tiltable bollard, electric control system, a hydraulic system and control panel.The bollard is operated by radio control from the winch deck or from the bridge (departure only). The company's vacuum-based auto mooring system is remotely controlled and the system's load monitoring and alarm functions relay information to operations staff in real-time.
Mr Jönsson says he believes auto-mooring systems are equally applicable to all ship types, and concurs with Cavotec Moormaster's assessment of the advantages of the technology. "The number of personnel required is reduced, automatic mooring is inherently safer, and it takes less time," he tells PS, noting that,apart from the initial acquisition cost,some through-life costs are incurred by the need for servicing, and that the return on investment is case dependent, and depends on the type of automatic mooring system used and the frequency with which it is used. As Cavotec Moormaster highlights, however, in extreme cases, such as in ports with 'long'waves, there may be other economic benefits to be gained if the productivity of shoreside equipment such as cranes can be enhanced.

France must act quickly to show its support for the Tunisian people following a series of misjudgements, the country's new envoy to Tunis said on Sunday.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy's administration has been accused of moving slowly to condemn the violent repression of protests earlier this month that led to the downfall of Tunisia's longtime president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
"We must very quickly show France's solidarity with the Tunisian people -- and show we stand beside them -- as they take this new step," Boris Boillon, the outgoing ambassador to Baghdad, told AFP after a news conference.
"Tunisia is a new challenge because of the new situation ... They are our brothers who have decided to take their destinies into their own hands," said Boillon, who has been named to take over as France's ambassador to Tunis.
"For a new era in relations between Tunisia and France, we need new men," he said, drawing a parallel between the "New Tunisia" and the "New Iraq" following the US-led invasion of 2003 that ousted dictator Saddam Hussein.
"In the two countries, a wind of change has blown through the regime and, as Iraq has had to do, Tunisia must find the path to democracy."

If you follow me on Facebook then you'll know that November was a lousy month in the "hair" department around this house. Bethany wound up with head lice from school (a story for another day, let's just say though it was traumatic. For me), I suffered from itchy scalp something that's wasn't uncommon for me, but due to the head lice thing left me paranoid and Corey checking my head 82 times a day and to top it off my hair started to feel dry, brittle…and old.
Over the years I've tried MANY different types of hair care. Expensive salon hair products, cheap drugstore ones, natural ones and just about everything in between. Many of them have had qualities I've liked, but none of them, really truly none of them have done it all.
Some made my hair shiny, others made it soft, some helped with fly aways and others gave me volume. I couldn't find any that did it all and NONE of them did anything for my scalp. My on and off itchy scalp persisted and I always felt like there was just something missing.
Then I discovered Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy's line of shampoos and conditioners. After using their Clear Strong Lengths Shampoo & Conditioner for a little over a week I was AMAZED at the changes!
I no longer had an itchy scalp! I'm not even kidding, the subconscious scratching had stopped and Corey was no longer backed into a corner with a flashlight in his face being begged to "Check one more time. Please CHECK IT ONE MORE TIME!". The changes were completely noticeable and I was sold!
I still had a bit of dandruff left over so I used Corey's Clear Dry Scalp Hydration 2 in 1 only once, left it on about 5 minutes and voila – no more dandruff!
By that point we were already sold on the Clear hair care line. Their claim that their product "Feeds Scalp & Gives Stronger more Beautiful Hair in 7 days" seemed to us to be true.
Then, the hair care cake was iced. November also saw Bethany get the worst skin virus ever. She had a horrible itchy rash for almost 2 weeks, she was sick and when the rash began to disappear she was left with flaking, peeling skin from top to bottom, including her scalp.
Each morning when I brushed her hair I had to fight the panic, her hair was filled with white flakes and while I knew they were dandruff/dry skin as a result of her virus I couldn't help but be fearful. We tried for a few weeks to leave it alone, hoping the dryness would go away but it didn't. Out of desperation on Christmas Eve I had Corey go and get his Clear Dry Scalp Hydration 2 in 1 and use it on B.
It took about a 10 days but slowly, as time passed we started to see the dandruff disappear. Her scalp seemed to be healing and I'm over the moon! It's all cleared up now and she can return to school, (doused in tea tree oil, covered in hair spray to keep the lice out mind you) scalp issue free.
Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy products have been a wonderful discovery for our family! It's a product that works, is found in most retailers (I've purchased at both WalMart and Shopper's Drug Mart) and is in an affordable price range!
If you're looking for a hair products that care for your hair from the scalp down then I absolutely recommend you try Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy! They get the Our Family Stone – 4 pebble stamp of approval!Disclosure: I received products to sample for this review. The opinions on this blog are my own and are honest & factual.

SANTA ANA -- The repeat drunken driver convicted of three countsof second-degree murder for the alcohol-induced, high-speed crashthat killed Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others last yearwept Wednesday as he was sentenced to 51 years to life inprison.
Andrew Thomas Gallo, 24, who was also convicted of two felony counts of driving under the influence with injuries and one count of hit-and-run, will likely not be eligible for parole until sometime in the 2050s.
Gallo apologized to the families of the victims and asked that they some day forgive him. "I am truly sorry," he said. "I want you to know I never intended to hurt anyone. I am not a bad guy."
Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey handed down his sentence after listening to poignant victim-impact statements from relatives of two of the people killed in the April 9, 2009, collision at a Fullerton, Calif., intersection, and from family members of a third man who was severely injured.
Carrie Stewart-Dixon, the mother of victim Courtney Stewart, told Gallo, "the night you killed my baby, you killed me. ... I have a huge hole in my heart without Courtney. I cry every day and my heart is broken forever."
The grinding crash at Orangethorpe Avenue and Lemon Street occurred only hours after an Angels game in which Adenhart pitched six innings of shutout baseball. After the game, Adenhart and his friends headed to a nightclub in Fullerton in a Mitsubishi sedan.
They never made it.
That's because at the same time Adenhart was striking out fiveOakland A's at Anaheim Stadium, Gallo and his half-brother werepounding down tequila, beer and sake at two bars in WestCovina.
Shortly before 1 a.m., a drunken Gallo sped through a red light in his parent's Toyota Siena minivan and slammed into a Mitsubishi Eclipse sedan carrying Adenhart and three others as it was proceeding through the intersection on a green light.
Gallo was driving on a suspended license because of a 2006 drunken driving conviction, and forensic tests revealed he had nearly three times the legal limit for driving of alcohol in his system at the time of the crash.
Three of the four people in the Mitsubishi were killed, including Adenhart, 22, a right-hander who made his major league debut in 2008 and had earned a spot in the Angels pitching rotation in 2009.
Also killed were Courtney Frances Stewart, 20, the driver of the Mitsubishi who was a former cheerleader at Cal State Fullerton, a sorority sister and a broadcast journalism major; and Henry Nigel Pearson, 25, a journalism graduate from Arizona State University, where he met Adenhart in a pickup basketball game.
A fourth person in Stewart's car, Jon Wilhite, 24, a former baseball player at Cal State Fullerton, suffered an "internal decapitation" but survived. He is still recovering from his injuries.
Gallo, who was only slightly injured, walked away from the crash, leaving Raymond Rivera, his injured half-brother, sitting in the passenger seat with a broken arm. Gallo was arrested an hour later walking on the 91 Freeway.
District Attorney Susan Price accused Gallo of three counts of second-degree murder rather than the lesser crime of vehicular manslaughter under the legal theory of implied malice: that he knew that drinking and driving was dangerous to human life in part because of his prior drunk driving conviction but chose to do so anyway.
Defense attorney Jacqueline Goodman contended that Gallo had no intention of driving on the evening of the collision because he thought he had a designated driver -- his stepbrother and therefore did not have the required "implied malice" to convict him of multiple counts of murder, and should be held responsible only for the lesser crimes of vehicular manslaughter.
But Rivera got drunk himself on the night of the tragedy, and handed the keys to the minivan to Gallo. Neither Gallo nor Rivera could recall how they ended up in Fullerton, according to police reports.
Testimony during the trial revealed that Gallo and Rivera drinking at about 4 p.m. on April 8, 2009, and continued to drink for about seven hours, consuming Newcastle, Amber Bock, Sam Adams and Arrogant Bastard beers, and at least one shot of 1800 Tequila.
"The original intention was not to get drunk," Rivera testified at a preliminary hearing. "...but I guess I got carried away."

Unanswered: Excell macro
Hi all,
i need to create a macro inside of excell.
The purpose is from a list of excell cells (which contains a list of tables) y need to generate two text files.
The first one has to contain a esquelet per table. And the second one the same but with different esquelet.
LEt me explain: i call esquelet a group of sentence. This group of sentences has a parameter (table name). If the initial list has 10 tables, the text file has ten times the same group of sentences where the parameter is changing.
The input items are a list of cell and two esqueltes. And the output items are two text files.
Thanks a lot.

I've dropped a brown bear in Alaska with using a 44 magnum with a 2.5" barrel. One shot of buffalo bore 300grain. I then had to hike 14 miles back to the ranger station to report it. That was during the day, and I did see him coming. I hit the first time. I can't say that it would be the same if I needed to do it again, especially in low light. I did however spend a few quality years learning to shoot at night.
