GAME: Rays (63-53, 3rd, AL East, – 6.0 GB) at Mariners (54-64, 4th, AL West, – 14.5 GB). GAME #: 119. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 10th (Rays lead 6-3). WHEN: Wednesday, 12:40 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Jeremy Hellickson (Tampa Bay, 7-7, 3.52) vs. RHP Felix Hernandez (Seattle, 10-5, 2.74). STREAKS: Mariners W 1; Rays L 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: ESPN 710 AM (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
The Mariners have won eight of their past nine games at Safeco Field and, with Felix Hernandez on the mound for the series finale with Tampa Bay Wednesday afternoon, stand a good chance of improving the run. Although Hernandez is coming off a rough outing in Anaheim (five runs in 7.0 innings), over his past 10 starts he's 6-0 with a 1.73 ERA.
Fernandez made nine starts this year in which he has pitched at least 8.0 innings and allowed one run or less, including one against the Rays. Wednesday, he'll oppose Jeremy Hellickson, who is 7-7, but 3-1 in his past four starts. The last time Hellickson faced the Mariners, in April, he threw one-run ball over 7.0 innings as the Rays beat the Mariners 3-2.
A closer look at Wednesday's probable pitchers (Mariners are seeking their 16th series win):

Hernandez is a three-time American League All-Star (2009, 2011, 2012) and won the American League Cy Young award in 2010, when he went 13-12 with a 2.27 ERA.
Hernandez has worked into the seventh inning in 15 of his 19 starts and into the eighth inning eight times. Hernandez has four wins and two no-decisions in his past six outings after not winning in four starts dating to May 21.

2012 RECORDS / MILESTONES
April 24: Catcher Miguel Olivo matched the franchise record when he was charged with three passed balls in a 7-4 win at Detroit. Jerry Narron let three balls get by him Oct. 4, 1980, and Jeff Clement did likewise Aug. 10, 2008 (Clement was catching knuckleballer R.A. Dickey).
April 27: Michael Saunders joined Donnie Scott (April 29, 1985) and Jimmy Presley (April 8, 1986) as the only Mariners to hit two home runs in a game in the ninth inning or later (solo homer in the 9th, grand slam in the 10th).
April 30: When both Miguel Olivo and Jesus Montero homered, it marked the first time in franchise history that two players had homered in the same game as a catcher.
May 2: Ichiro set a club record for most putouts by a right fielder in a nine-inning game, registering 10 in a 5-4 loss at Tampa.
May 3: The Mariners featured a lineup at Tampa Bay that included seven left- handed hitters and two switch-hitters. It marked only the third time in club history that the Mariners used an all left-sided lineup. Others: Aug. 13, 1983 at California and Aug. 9, 1983 at Oakland.
May 5: Combined one-hitter by Felix Hernandez and Steve Delabar vs. Minnesota was the 13th in Mariners history. Ten have been thrown by one pitcher, three combined. Most recent combined: Michael Pineda, Jeff Gray and Brandon League vs. Tampa, July 30, 2011. Most recent by one pitcher: Jarrod Washburn, July 6, 2009.
May 9: When John Jaso batted leadoff against Detroit, it marked the first time since 1978 that a catcher had hit first for the Marines (Bob Stinson). Oddly, lefty Jaso led off against Tiger lefty Drew Smyly.
May 8: Kevin Millwood's 2-0 shutout marked his first in nearly nine years. He did not surrender his first hit until there were two outs in the sixth. Millwood's gem marked only the fourth time in 1,440 games at Coors Field that an opposing pitcher held the Rockies to two hits or less while shutting them out. Millwood's complete game also was the first by a Mariner in 2012.
May 27: The pinch-hit grand slam allowed by Felix Hernandez to Alberto Callaspo marked just the sixth against the Mariners in 35 years, and the first since May 6, 1988 when Pat Sheridan of Detroit hit one off Mike Jackson.
May 30: Mariners defeated Texas 21-8, just the third time in franchise history they have scored 20 or more runs in a game. The Mariners, with 20 hits, became the first team since 1880 to score 20 runs in a game in the same season it also go perfect-oed.
June 8: Kevin Millwood and five relievers collaborated for the 10th combined no-hitter in major league history in a 1-0 win over the Dodgers at Safeco Field. Millwood (6.0), Charlie Furbush (0.2), Stephen Pryor (0.1), Lucas Luetge (0.1), Brandon League (0.2), and Tom Wilhelmsen (1.0) tied the MLB record for most pitchers used in a no-hitter (Houston vs. the Yankees June 11, 2003). It marked the third no-hitter in Mariners history.
June 18: Aaron Hill of Arizona hit for the cycle in the Diamondbacks' 7-1 win over the Mariners. Hill singled in the first (Hector Noesi), tripled in the third (Noesi), doubled in the fifth (Noesi) and homered in the seventh (Shawn Kelley).
June 19: Ichiro reached 2,500 hits (first-inning single) in the fourth-fewest games in major league history during a 12-9 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. His 2,500th hit came in his 1,817th game. Al Simmons had 2,500 hits in 1,784 games, Ty Cobb in 1,790 and George Sisler in 1,808 . . . When Kyle Seager and Brendan Ryan both hit three-run homers in the fifth inning, it marked the first time since July 30, 2003 vs. Detroit that the Mariners had a pair of three-run bombs in the same inning. In that July 30, 2003 game, John Olerud hit a three-run homer and Randy Winn a grand slam in the first inning.
July 1: One-time Mariner farmhand David Ortiz of the Red Sox hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th inning, giving Boston a 2-1 win over the Mariners.
July 3: In Seattle's 6-3 win over Baltimore at Safeco Field, The Mariners had three Japanese players in the starting lineup – Ichiro Suzuki, Munenori Kawasaki and Hisashi Iwakuma – for the first time in major league history.
July 23: Mariners traded Ichiro, face of the franchise for 11 1/2 years, to the Yankees for two prospects and cash considerations. Ichiro made his debut against Seattle with the Yankees at Safeco field and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base.

Daniel Craig Has a Cameo in Star Wars, and Simon Pegg Accidentally Revealed What It Is
At the London premiere of Man Up, Simon Pegg spoke out of turn about Star Wars and revealed Craig's role:
"I wasn't a Stormtrooper. Daniel Craig, he was a Stormtrooper. I shouldn't have said that."
Considering Craig's previous roles, I'm hopeful that his Stormtrooper will be a decent shot.

What are Amazon's Sponsored Products Ads?
This is what makes them such an effective tool for boosting sales and expanding your readership, even if you write in a crowded genre. Sponsored Products ads are also cost-effective. Since they're cost-per-click, you only pay when a reader clicks on your promoted book.
Our new built-in tool makes it super easy to get up and running with your first campaign.
You'll need to fund your marketing budget before getting started. The process is simple: you can either make a deposit with PayPal or a credit card, or you can transfer money from your book earnings.
Next, select the book you want to promote. If you're using the beta-testing version and you don't distribute to Amazon via Publishdrive, upload your book as a draft. Don't worry, it won't be published. This just gives us the information needed to link your ad to the ebook's live product page on Amazon.
Enter the campaign details, such as the start and end dates, daily budget, and bid.
Hit "Launch" and we'll handle the rest! You can edit your campaign details anytime, and you'll have access to robust, downloadable sales data. The live analytics, which includes different types of performance indicators, will make it easy to check your campaign's progress at a glance.
Authors who launch Amazon advertising campaigns via PublishDrive can also unlock enhanced analytics on their Sales Chart. The enhanced analytics shows exactly when the campaign began, so authors can see their before-and-after earnings.

Perhaps you received a reasonable amount of capital to invest or being tired of working for your boss, thinking of becoming your own boss. You may be wondering whether you should buy into a franchise? The fact is that these days, you can do an intensive course about a global publishing business offering an unlimited reach to masses of people abroad: This eliminates the need to buy into a restrictive franchise, which often curtails you to a local market. Here are some pros and cons you should consider before making this important career switch.
You have a strong starting point as you join a safe business model and a well-established brand, so the chances that your business will succeed are higher than if you start your own business.
You can avoid reinventing the wheel and making trial and error mistakes as the franchise system works and is profitable.
You don't have to think of the philosophy/culture of your brand.
You can benefit from reduced costs of buying equipment and inventory, as prices are generally lower for a franchise than for individual businesses.
When facing challenges, you can benefit from the support of the franchisor and other entrepreneurs.
You benefit from the reputation and popularity of the franchising brand, both of which would take a long time to build.
You will find that hiring staff is much easer for a franchise than for an individual business as the brand has a greater recruiting pull.
It might be hard to find a franchise that you respect and admire, so if you have a clear idea about your business philosophy and culture you should start your own business.
A franchise often lacks flexibility when compared to your own business: you must abide some strict rules ranging from the pricing of goods/services to location decoration. Sooner or later, you will start disagreeing with these imposed rules but due to the franchise agreement you will not be able to do anything about it.
If you are trying to improve unfavourable working conditions, buying a franchise might not be the solution because you are substituting a strict boss with fixed rules about how to run your business.
Popularity comes at a cost: buying into a franchise is very expensive and very few people have the cash needed. Moreover, the franchise will only be profitable after you have paid the franchisor off.
The franchise agreement will corset your business and prevent progress and innovation. So, if you are creative, a franchise might not be the right option for you.
If you think that the disadvantages of buying a franchise outweigh the advantages or if you don't have enough money to buy a franchise, have you considered starting your own Adsense or publishing business. What are the advantages?
Here is a course that will guide you through the steps of starting your own Adsense business.
Join this course today to maximize your chances of starting a successful Adsense and Ebook publishing business!

So, you've recorded and mixed a song in GarageBand. Now it's time to share your song with the world.
In its current state, your tune can only be played within GarageBand, so you need to export it — or "bounce it down" — to a single audio file that can be played in common audio applications.
Here's how to share GarageBand files with someone on your holiday list.
You'll find all your Sharing options, not surprisingly, under the Share menu. Let's walk through them.
The first option is Song to iTunes. Choose this option to export your song to your iTunes library. This opens a window where you can add the data for the song that will show up in your iTunes Library, your iPod, or any other device that can play this file.
By default, GarageBand names the song with the name of the file followed by the date and time, but you can change the Title to anything you like, and add any other information you want.
From the Quality menu, choose the quality you want the file to be in. The first four options all export the song in the compressed AAC format for iTunes. The higher the quality, the larger the file size will be.
You can also choose uncompressed to generate an AIF file, but that will also increase the file size significantly. Just decide how you want to balance the quality and file size of your recording.
Once the song is in iTunes, you can listen to it from there, sync it to your iPod, or do anything else you can do with other songs in your iTunes Library.
The next option under the Share menu is Ringtone to iTunes. This option is only for when you're specifically creating a ringtone for your phone. Ringtones have to be 40 seconds or less, and will be exported in the .mr4 format, which is used for iPhone ringtones.
If you're creating a song as a gift, you probably don't want to choose this option. However, if your song turns out to be a hit with the recipient, you could create a 40-second snippet of it and then share it as a ringtone.
The next Sharing option is Song to Media Browser. Choosing this option immediately bounces down your song, meaning it generates a single audio file version of the song, just like when you export to iTunes. But this version of the song will appear in the Media Browsers of other Apple apps like iMovie and Final Cut Pro.
Once there, you'll be able to use your song in any projects you create in those apps.
Next is the SoundCloud sharing option. Soundcloud is a free online service for sharing audio files. Just go to soundcloud.com to create an account, and then you'll be able to login to your account from GarageBand when you choose this option and upload your project directly from here to share it with others.
This is probably the most convenient option for quickly sharing your project with other people, as opposed to burning CDs or trying to email a large audio file to someone.
With a soundcloud account you can upload your file right from here and then send your friends a link so they can listen to your song online from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection.
The next sharing option, AirDrop, is for sending your song to another Mac on your network. So if the person you want to share your song with happens to be in your home with his or her MacBook, you can choose this option to export a version of the song directly to their computer. You might also choose the AirDrop option to send the song to another Mac on your network to continue working on the project.
