Game 98: Nats at Astros

Livan Hernandez faces Brett Myers in today's series finale at Minute Maid Park.
Remember that remarkable run the Nationals went on in early-to-mid June? You know, when they won 12 of 13 games, seemingly all of them by one run? Well, they've fallen back into a more consistent pattern since then. Basically, they win a game or two, then they lose a game or two.
Indeed, since June 17, the Nats have been no better than two games over .500, nor have they been worse than two games under .500. Consistent mediocrity, I guess you could call it. Which is still a significant improvement from years past, of course.
Today, the Nationals try to get back to the break-even point yet again, needing a win over the Astros to take this series in Houston. Livan Hernandez, who went only four innings in his last start and boasts a 5.27 ERA in his last five outings, needs to get himself back on track. Veteran Brett Myers will face a Nats lineup that is without Ian Desmond or Laynce Nix (both getting a day off to rest nagging ailments).
As you know, I haven't been in Houston for this series. Enjoy the weekday matinee and the back-and-forth conversation as always…

Talk about strange managing – no attempt to get the runner into scoring position?

Mr. Werth, if all it took was posting the "good video" of you, I would have done it 7 weeks ago.

Wow! There is light in his eyes and a spring in his step! I like the "good Jayson"
- A DC Wonk - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Werth — 3-for-5 with two doubles and a homer?Now _that's_ what a break-out looks like. (We just hope it's for real!)
- gonatsgo - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:20 PM
I really need to stop leaving my desk – wow. I have been scanning the posts from the last hour. Bullpen management has been serious problem since Davey took over. He is absolutely terrible at it. He also still doesn't seem to"get" his personnel and manages poorly when the game is stressful – almost all the time with the nats. A very stubborn adherence to the vets, too – ie – putting Stairs in critical spots. Those one-run games we used to win with that little bit of wizardry and magic are no more. Now we lose them on the little things gone wrong. Hate going into an off day and a west-coast series this way. And by the way – is it april fools day – wtf with Jayson Werth?
- LoveDaNats - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:21 PM
Thanks, Gonat

A very stubborn adherence to the vets, too – ie – putting Stairs in critical spots.When was the last time Stairs was used?(My point is that there have been dozens of "critical spots" in the last week or so where Stairs was not used).
- Exposremains - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:24 PM
One thing is for sure with these Nats is that they love to look at right down the middle 1st pitch strikes. Is there a stat for that?

Oh my, Quintero with a bleeder single. Unreal.

It goes without saying that we all hope this is a sign that Jayson has broken out. But I hopenit so much, couldn't not say it.Thanks for this great stats, Wonk. I was one of the people convinced we had tk be leading the league in leaving guys stranded in third. Good to know otherwise.
- Gonat - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:28 PM
Why are they pitching to Bourn?
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:29 PM
because they don't want to pitch to Hunter Pence.would not have been my call.

gonatsgo said… DCwonk – Stairs – today.I meant the last time. It's not like he uses him all the time, which is what the comment implied.In the meantime, let's all blame Davey for this. It, obviously, was his fault that the team was 0-for-9 in RISP, and the top three of the order was 1-for-13.

Last place, here we come! However, "this is a much better last place team than last year's last place team." Yeah, right, whatever. Yawn.
- Anonymous8 - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:34 PM
Lets just talk about Coffey's inning. Quintero is a righty so why is Werth in doubles defense in the opposite field. Then Quintero gets sacrificed to 2nd and with 1st base open they don't intentionally walk Bourn in a righty/lefty.Bad strategy and when you don't play it by the book it will catch up with you.
- Anonymous8 - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:36 PM
Coffey is now worth NOTHING on the trade market.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:37 PM
Astros have gone two months without winning a series and we let them win. Come on guys, that is embarrassing. I do not understand and several people who I trust who played nall don't understand to tel me, but maybe you guys who are smarter know. Why are most of the our strikes outs either a called 3rd strike or a swing at one out of the zone, and very few swinging at actual strikes?
- A DC Wonk - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Why are most of the our strikes outs either a called 3rd strike or a swing at one out of the zone, and very few swinging at actual strikes?Like our misperceptions with clutch hitting, do you that this is the case? Or does it just seem that way? (I think stats for that are at fangraph)
- NatsLady - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:42 PM
So, I leave to teach three students and we lose the game????? People!!! I see by the box score Coffey lost the game? Sheesh, what happened to the good Coffey?
- gonatsgo - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:43 PM
DCWonk — I am well aware that many people think Davey Johnson is the greatest manager since baseball began. I don't and when your team is just bad enough or good enough to be in constant one-run games, poor strategies decision get exposed. No – he is not the one out there hitting. But – this team that used to look intense and focused, even in losses, now looks very lost. There does not seem to be any kind of consistency or plan – the game is happening to them instead – things are reactive not proactive. I hope he finds a way to get a clear, sensible plan and get everyone moving forward in LA.
- FS - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:44 PM
Well this just tells us we should be in sell mode this deadline and not worry about who fills in for those trade-able pieces. Facing Astros, in their hitter-friendly park, we should have performed better. Marquis, Coffey, and Nix can still get us few low level guys or whatever. Marquis and Nix are free agent at the end of the season so if need be, we can sign them later.I would still like to hold on to clippard, but understand that if an everyday solution can be brought in by trading him, sounds good.
- CBinDC - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:45 PM
so here we are losing two of three to the worst team in MLB ……HOW will we ever change the CULTURE of LOSING on this team if you lose 2 of 3 to the worst team in MLB ……remember they are the worst TEAM IN MLB
- Anonymous - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:46 PM
4 batters 3 hits. Nice job FATTY. 11 more days he is gone. My question is why Davey didn't pinch it for Flores. That bat by Flores was an embarrasment. Well gotta go. It's COFFEE time!!! BRING BACK RIGGLEMAN
- baseballswami - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Wow – I see that Jayson Werth had a good game, Livo was obviously ok and everyone else was terrible? Is that what happened? Let's hope LA is better. Day off tomorrow to lick wounds. At least no complaining about the bullpen being tired on Friday.( just kind of not very good lately?) I would hate to be on that plane tonight – ouch.
- CBinDC - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:50 PM
Here is something the Davy Johnson period is now a losing record with more errors and even worse situational hitting then before ……so much for hoping that there was a manager with magic as part of their bag of management tools
- Anonymous - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:50 PM
4 batters 3 hits. Nice job chubby. Why is Flores batting and not Ramos in the situation. That at bat by Flores was embarrasing. Oh well gotta go its COFFEE time!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dear Mark question ….what is the team record if Matt Stairs is used as a PH ……does he add, subtract or is neutral to the record
- nationals7 - Jul 20, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Heart. Break.
- Joe Seamhead - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:04 PM
Yeah, right, Davey Johnson doesn't know anything about baseball anymore. Give me a break. We can't use Tyler every day. Between Coffey and Burnett, we have two pitchers that we can't consistently trust right now. Matheus is a pretty good rookie, but, man, we've already got a pretty fair amount out of him.Flores isn't ready to be back in prime time. Ryan Zimmerman went o-5. Espy didn't do diddly. Werth, in addition to the HR, gets two doubles, (batting fifth, I might add), and nobody can bring him in either time. Matt Stairs?Nobody gets that whole deal. Should Jason Werth dove for that ball? Probably a bad idea, as it was a stretch to catch and if he misses it, there's no one behind him, and the hit goes for lead off extra bases. The last three losses have all been painful, but we'll come back. Just keep going you Nationals!
- Exposremains - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:05 PM
I really haven't anything thats better with Nats since D. Johnson has taken over. I like that he doesn't make excuses for his players but there is no real consequences. Can anybody tell me things that this team do better under him?
- Anonymous8 - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Gonat said… Davey has mis-used his bullpen almost all of the time. Even last night Coffey fell apart as he stinks in full innings of work. July 20, 2011 4:31 PM You said that about an hour before Coffey stepped in and for another game, the blood, sweat and tears falls on Coffey. Between Coffey and Burnett, the 2 of them are just not getting it done.Rizzo should be pissed as Coffey a few days ago would have brought in a decent A ball prospect.
- Drew8 - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:14 PM
New FDA warning: Coffey gives you the runs.
- Anonymous - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Todd Coffey threw seven pitches and gave up three hits.Unbelievable.
- Nats - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:36 PM
We HAVE to keep Clippard. Next year, when we REALLY need someone to get outs with the bases loaded, we have to have him. Also, Stras will only be going 6 or 7 innings, he has to be on a limit. You cannot give up Clip and you CANNOT overuse him.
- Anonymous - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:51 PM
Clip hasn't pitched since Sunday and we have a day off tomorrow. Using him today was very reasonable.They're going to burn the kid out. Mattheus is their last best hope to avoid that. As H-Rod is inconsistent when it comes to control. But he doesn't allow gopher balls with the bags loaded as Burnett has this year. But walks do kill. The injuries to both Carr and Kimball (both shoulder surgeries) really put a major crimp in things. With those two the Nats had reinforcements. Unless Severino continues to pitch well (he is a lefty) I don't see anyone down in Syracuse that can help in the bullpen at this point … short of Josh Wilkie. And he isn't having the banner year he had last season.
- Anonymous - Jul 20, 2011 at 10:57 PM
It's COFFEE time!!! BRING BACK RIGGLEMAN.RIGGLEMAN picked this roster that means Gaudin and Coffey. Not everything was Rizzo and the FO. Riggleman only pitched guys he trusted and that meant overusing Clippard and Storen and leaving H-Rod, Mattheus, and Burnett to mop up duties. RIGGLEMAN is the guy who loved to bring in "Miss Iowa" who was notorious for allowing grandslams and dingers. But he would still trot out Miguel Batista until Rizzo got rid of him. C'mon RIGGLEMAN : .445 winning percentage, bad attitude, EEYOR face. JOHNSON : .537 winning percentage, we will win, CONFIDENT!
- UNTERP.NAT - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:04 PM
I don't want to say anything good about Werth and you know why. Two weeks ago I tried to warn everyone about the real Nats and not to expect too much in my own way mainly to caution everyone. This team still has many holes and a bit to go before we can classify them as a good team. When I was negative it was because I wanted to believe that they were better than they were. They had been winning too many one run games with smoking mirrors and you had to know that this wouldn't continue. They are a much improved team from the previous two seasons but still a long ways to go and are very competitive. Whether Riggleman throwing the team under the bus at the time regressed them, we will never know, but his timing and selfishness didn't help. But as a former NCAA basketball coach once uttered and this epitomizes the Washington Nationals and I think best describes who they are to a man, "Don't give up, don't ever give up."
- NatsLady - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:09 PM
Davey better get in the mode of using Detwiler. We are not going to the playoffs (sob!). So DON'T DON'T damage Clip's arm permanently (cf. Chad Cordero). Don't trade him to a playoff contender, because THEY will overuse him, the temptation is overwhelming.And you can't say "middle relievers are a dime a dozen." They may be, but Clip has THE best record for not letting inherited runners score (RISP). That is INVALUABLE unless you have the kind of pitching staff that NEVER gets into late inning jams. You have to manage him so that incredible skill is with us next year when Stras and Zimm'nn, etc., are the rotation.Good job, Jayson!!
- natsfan1a - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:18 PM
Haven't read through the comments but was happy to see Werth breaking out his bat today with the two doubles and the HR. Was endearing when Morse tapped Werth's helmet for him, after which Jayson finally did it himself (alright, I did it, too – happy now?). I think Morse was happier for Werth than for himself. Also some good work from Livo and Clippard, on the plus side. On the minus side, well, I'm sure all that's already been cussed and discussed as my husband would say. Wasn't happy with the ending and shouted at the tv set some in the final innings but I've since regained my equilibrium because, in the end, it's just a game, ya know?
- natsfan1a - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:25 PM
Oh, and maybe sec3 should call Jayson an Alpha Hotel more often.

Random thoughts:One anon has us pegged for in the division, done deal. Not.I don't think I've heard even ONE "Hosanna!" in regard to Davey. Many of us considered him a good choice, given the ridiculous situation we were in, there. If we were 10 over .500, at this point, there would be talk of giving a couple of years, but maybe he IS Gibbs 3.0. At least we can make a rational decision, after the season. Davey was a good choice, at the time, as the main thing was to have some gravitas in the clubhouse, for the second half.Turns out, the use of the BP didn't matter… We didn't score enough to win…The hits are coming… They're just not properly organized. The timing will come, too.I hope Rizzo doesn't trade anything that might be useful, beyond this year. We want to have as many bats, arms, and gloves as possible competing for spots on next years roster, come spring. Plenty of time to trade veteran depth for prospects, after things shake out. We're not good, now. Next year, we will be…. You'll see
- Unkyd - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:48 PM

- A DC Wonk - Jul 20, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Oh, please, a team is never as bad as it looks when it's losing, and not as good as it looks when it's winning. The team doesn't look focused? C'mon! That's what some commenters were saying about Livo after the second inning today. But then he pitched four scoreless innings after that.Davey's track record speaks for itself — it's too bad that some here don't hear it, or else are just biased against him.And anyone who thinks that we can tell how Davey's doing with the team because he's managed just a few weeks has forgotten what the phrase "small sample size" means.Does anyone remember when last year the neg-Anons were saying that the Nats should have hired a manager like Buck Showalter, because the Orioles had started winning?How's that Showalter thing working out for the O's now?Davey manages for the long term. Most fans, including many here, think in the short term.
- N. Cognito - Jul 21, 2011 at 1:06 AM
Coffey has never been all that good. For the Nats this season, he had one really good month – May.Kinda like the Nats. They're really a 75 win team, but that winning streak that put them 2 games over .500 is like Coffey's month of May.Doesn't matter who manages this team, it's not going to win much more or less than 75 games.

Can he play left? They didn't get much for Keppinger, but the Giants weren't bidding against much, apparently, for a second baseman. Outfield bat, I think, not the same market. Would it take Clippard to outbid others for the trade?

Hey Gonat, quit whining. You act like your the only one who knows anything. Are you JZs cousin? I'll admit the kid looks really good at times but he still throws to many juicey balls when he is ahead in the count.

The absolute one thing I like about Davey is he speaks his mind and is apparently not afraid to say stuff. I have never heard Riggs say anything like I heard in Davey's pregame interview with Dave & Charlie. He basically said that the bench when he took over was not what he would have had if he had been here from the beginning and he is right. He went on to explain that he had Cora, Hairston, and Bixler. Basically 3 middle infielders and he also said he has two young starters that must get the majority of the playing time. He went on to say he had gone to the 3 subs and explained the situation, that they were not going to get much time in the infield. Hairston of course got hurt but can play the outfield and if you look, he also played Bixler there a few times. The point is Davey was not afraid to be honest about his bench. Bixler is now back in AAA and while Stairs puzzles all of us with his presence, at least I am positive that Davey wants him here. Go Nats – still looking for that 78 wins this year which will be another nice step forward no matter what the neganons or as Dave aptly called them "somebody with no name".

Farm report:The Harper show comes to Richmond Thursday, with young Roy Hobbs hobbled by a 1-for-25 skid. Let's hope he feasts on Flying Squirrels.At Syracuse, Lombardozzi is hitting .345 with a .381 on base percentage.Marrero is hitting .307 with a .383 on base percentage.I wish Marrero had more than 9 home runs, but he's knocked in 50 and has put together a nice all-around season at the dish.At Hagerstown a reliever blew A.J. Cole's chance for his third win. Cole gave up one earned in five innings and dropped his ERA to 2.83. He has 64 K's, 10 walks and an excellent whip (walks + hits/IP) of 1.11.At Potomac, Danny Rosenbaum threw a complete game, gave up 3 earned runs and took the loss. Rosenbaum has a 2.67 ERA, with 91 K's, 38 walks and a fine 1.20 whip.At Auburn, 3b Matt Skoke (the Nats' 2011 5th round pick, who should have used a designated driver at Georgia Tech) is knocking the ball around. He's batting third in the order and drove in 4 runs tonight. He's hitting .315 with 18 RBIs in 32 games.

Inserted into the heel and combined with EVA or PU, System G2™ provides dual-cushioning comfort and protection that helps absorbs a wide range of impacts, from the very soft to the most extreme landings riders put on their feet to help reduce injuries and prevent heel bruises. The result is the ultimate skateboarding cushioning technology that absorbs up to 15 percent more impact energy than conventional skate shoes and boots.
System G2 Full Impact
Whereas System G2™ only protects against heel bruises, System G2 Full Impact™ stretches across the whole length of the foot to protect against harsh landings underneath the midfoot, and forefoot bruising underneath the ball of your foot. As an added bonus, the soft gel underneath the forefoot also allows riders to maintain exceptional board feel and control.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Lightning signed vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman to a four-year contract extension on Monday.
Yzerman has one more year remaining on his initial contract with the club and is completing his fourth season as the Lightning's lead hockey operations executive.
"Since the day Steve agreed to serve as our vice president and general manager, he has worked tirelessly to transform our hockey department and establish the groundwork for sustained success," said Lightning chairman and governor Jeff Vinik. "We are very pleased with Steve's job performance thus far, and I am fully confident Steve remains the right person to continue to lead us."
The 48-year-old was introduced as Tampa Bay's vice president and general manager on May 25, 2010. The Lightning have compiled a record of 144-114-32 since then and have reached the playoffs in 2011 and 2014.
Yzerman spent 27 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings as a player, captain, and executive. The Hall of Fame forward won the Stanley Cup three times as a player (1997, 1998, 2002) and once as an executive (2008). He also ranks sixth on the NHL's all-time points list with 1,755.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue the process we started four years ago and would like to thank Jeff Vinik for entrusting me with the responsibility of leading the Tampa Bay Lightning," Yzerman said. "I'm very excited about what lies ahead for our organization and truly enjoy working with a fantastic group of people in Tampa Bay."
He also served as executive director for Team Canada at the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, guiding both teams to gold medal wins.

Tefillin (Phylacteries)
Tefillin are not amulets. They are reminders of God's laws.
Reprinted with permission from Louis Jacobs, The Jewish Religion: A Companion published by Oxford University Press.
What They Are
Tefillin are the cube-shaped black leather boxes, containing four scriptural passages, attached to the head and arm and worn during the morning prayers. It is purely coincidental that the word tefillin so closely resembles the word for prayer, tefillah, since, although eventually the tefillin were only worn for the morning prayer, in Talmudic times they were worn all day and had no special association with prayer.
As Maimonides (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Tefillin, 4.25-6) puts it: "Great is the sanctity of tefillin, for as long as the tefillin are upon man's head and arm, he is humble and God-fearing and is not drawn after frivolity and idle talk, and does not have evil thoughts, but directs his heart to words of truth and righteousness. Therefore a man should try to have them on him all day ... Even though they should be worn all day it is the greater obligation to wear them during prayer." In point of fact, some few extremely pious individuals, even in post-Talmudic times, did wear tefillin all day and this seems to have been Maimonides' own practice. But the vast majority of Jews only wear tefillin during the morning prayer.
Etymology and History
The etymology of [the term] tefillin is uncertain, but possibly is connected either with a Hebrew root meaning "to attach" or with a root meaning "to distinguish." If this is correct, tefillin mean either "attachments" to the body or else the means whereby the Jew is distinguished from Gentiles. "Tefillin" is usually translated in English as "phylacteries." This is based on the New Testament Greek: "But all their works they do to be seen of men; they make broad their phylacteries" (Matthew 23:5). This passage, hostile to the Pharisees, uses the Greek word, from which the English is derived, meaning "things which guard"; in other words, the tefillin are a kind of amulet to offer protection against the demonic powers; whereas in all the Jewish sources the tefillin serve, like the tzitzit, as a reminder of God's laws.
In four Pentateuchal passages it is stated that certain words should be on the hand and between the eyes. Many commentators, including Rashbam [Samuel ben Meir, 11th century Bible and Talmud commentator from France], hold that the plain meaning of these passages is that the words of the Torah should be constantly in mind, as in the verses: "Set them as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm" (Song of Songs 8: 6) and "Let not kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them on the table of thy heart" (Proverbs 3: 3).

SF and Cyberspace
Hey there!
I just started a research on the topic which SF Stories/Books deal with Cyberspace, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and other technologies to network, connect and socialize over the web. Which books or films do you consider to be the top-10? I'm also looking for alternative reading beside the big authors such as William Gibson or Neal Stephenson.
Hope someone likes to help!
Me myself, i just finished Simulacron-3, great idea long before Matrix...

How about the book that started it all: Neuromancer. I actually heard someone credit this book with the entire concept of the internet. I'm not sure about that, but it certainly started Cyberpunk.

thanks so far, i had necromancer already on the map, as well as snow crash (stephenson) and Otherland (Tad Williams). A month ago a read "Der Birkenwald" of the german author Kai-Michael Böttcher, also nice one about a guy who coincidentally finds out he's living in a VR...
But it doesn't have to be so close to the topic of VR - total immersion, actually i'm looking for alternative cyberspace ideas for a future study in sociology.

Gibson admitted that he did not know anything about computers when he wrote Neuromancer.
Shockwave Rider by John Brunner and The Two Faces of Tomorrow by James P. Hogan both came out before Neuromancer and both are better as SCIENCE fiction.

Halting State by Charles Stross and The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang are both newer takes on augmented reality. I enjoyed them both a lot. Oh and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline takes place almost entirely in the OASIS, a virtual reality environment of the future. Hope that helps!

There have definitely been a lot of postings that i will have to put on my reading list. But let's perhaps widen the subject: What about Movies and Computergames? In general everything which deals with the ideal of simulation, VR, AR and possibly upcoming innovations in cyberspace.

|Monodromy Groups and Self-Invariance
For every polytope $\mathcal{P}$ there is the universal regular polytope of the same rank as $\mathcal{P}$ corresponding to the Coxeter group $\mathcal{C} =[\infty, \dots, \infty]$. For a given automorphism $d$ of $\mathcal{C}$, using monodromy groups, we construct a combinatorial structure $\mathcal{P}^d$. When $\mathcal{P}^d$ is a polytope isomorphic to $\mathcal{P}$ we say that $\mathcal{P}$ is self-invariant with respect to $d$, or $d$-invariant. We develop algebraic tools for investigating these operations on polytopes, and in particular give a criterion on the existence of a $d$\nobreakdash-auto\-morphism of a given order. As an application, we analyze properties of self-dual edge-transitive polyhedra and polyhedra with two flag-orbits. We investigate properties of medials of such polyhedra. Furthermore, we give an example of a self-dual equivelar polyhedron which contains no polarity (duality of order 2). We also extend the concept of Petrie dual to higher dimensions, and we show how it can be dealt with using self-invariance.
Keywords:maps, abstract polytopes, self-duality, monodromy groups, medials of polyhedra

Winning an award means your work is acknowledged, appreciated, loved and applauded. In view of this, when Digit 9.0 bagged the award of 'Best Digital Agency' in the prestigious Zee-ETC Bollywood Business Awards, it was a matter of extreme joy and pride for us. Every single day invested in ideating and executing every little thing that contributes towards a successful project seemed to be rewarded.
At Digit 9.0, we have always treated every project differently and used unique approaches for each one of them. Personalization has been our key. Whether it's a website or a Social Media Marketing plan, each of them would be customized to complement the theme of the project. Churning out quirky ideas was merely the first phase, executing it successfully was the second. We saw our vision gaining impetus through the execution phase. We took every project as a stepping stone as we climbed the ladder of success. 'Working relentlessly to ensure that the output is loved by one and all' was the mantra that everyone followed passionately, inherently. In fact, this is the mantra we still follow and will always follow as we believe this is the core of Digit 9.0.
Clients continue to be associated with us purely because we give them outputs that they love. Irrespective of what time of the day it is, we extend our service to them whenever they need us. All this has helped us in retaining the clients as well as earning their referrals.
In the year 2011, we successfully managed the social media campaign for varied films like Delhi Belly, Force, Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara, The Dirty Picture and several others. In fact, it was not just Bollywood; we also took care of regional films like Teecha Baap Tyacha Baap and Engaeyum Eppothum amongst others, and also Hollywood films like Rio, The Adventures of Tintin, Alvin and the Chipmunks and several more.
Come 2012, we enhanced our pedigree for digital movie marketing making relatively smaller budget Bollywood movies like Kahaani and Kya Superkool Hain Hum a household name on every computer. Continuing to not overlook the regional space, No Entry - Pudhe Dhoka Aahe continued to the leap Marathi cinema made in the digital space. Our Hollywood portfolio also saw a greater mandate executed to perfection with worldwide blockbusters Ice Age IV, Life of Pi, and Skyfall.
With the advent of the New Year, Digit 9.0 confidently promises that 2013 will see bigger and better innovations coming from us.
When we talk to you about us, we'd first want to share with you how we came up with the name Digit9.0. The space that we are a resident of is digital; '9' is the highest value a single unit can go up to and we add to it the '0' - India's contribution to the world of numbers. What does it say about our company, we hear you ask. Well, it simply says that in the digital space, we are the greatest and our contribution to your brand/product is as essential as the value '0' adds to the numeric system.
From international movie-projects to your favourite chocolate, we have made people happier about the things that already make them happy. We entertain them for months before a movie entertains them for a few hours. We bring out the desire in them to give in to their temptations, and only because we talk the language that they understand. To create a good social campaign, you first need to be social enough. We at Digit9.0 are the Digital Socialites from whom you want the world to hear about your brand or product.
Having worked with almost every production house in India as well as giant retailers, real estate, travel, FMCG companies (and an ever-growing expanse of sectors), we're always looking forward to new projects. Not only does a new genre, a new product and a new brand get the best of our services, we continue to add substantial value to our existing customers. If what you want to sell is something new, we have our expertise and innovative ideas- and if we have already helped you sell what you want to- you only add experience to the expertise and more innovative ideas!
So when it comes to online marketing, spread the word of mouse through us. Because no one else does it better!
The first impression that is formed about who you are and what you're offering is given out through your website. Having a web address for your product, brand or movie in this day and age is more important than having a postal address for your office.
At Digit9.0, we understand that each brand/product has a separate set of inputs, caters to a different set of users and appeals to a niche audience. With so much of differentiation, we make sure that we have different designs and solutions that suit your requirements, irrespective of what your product is, for you to choose from. We make sure you serve soup in a bowl and cake on a plate!
What matters in today's marketing is not what you say about your brand/product, but what your users say. The most effective and inexpensive medium to tap these users is social marketing. Online social networking provides a platform to integrate the marketing goals through active participation from the users. So when you give out your promotion, you're already getting to know who's listening, and what they think of you. The quicker the response to our strategies, the better we can shape the next stage of marketing your brand/product.
With YouTube already delivering over a 100 million videos (and increasing!) a day, it's no surprise that more and more websites are deploying videos to sell products and services online. To give you an idea of YouTube's market penetration, here are some astounding statistics:
In the simplest way possible - video is here and people love it. We doubt you need more reason to consider online video marketing an important tool in your marketing arsenal.
Viral video marketing is one of the best and the most cost-effective form of marketing. Team Digit9.0 helps you say it best through videos in collaboration with Subtle Scream Studios. Right from ideation, scripting, (sometimes even acting) to the final editing, uploading and spreading it across all digital platforms- we're tuned in to every step of the viral process. And please keep in mind, it's not a big deal that we're doing it- it's the expertise, magnitude and finesse that we do the job with that sets Digit9.0 apart!
No one word has contained such a vast population like this has.
Almost every market that you're looking out for can be penetrated on this one platform- but it's how we put it out for them, that gets the attention of exactly who you want looking at your promotion, that'll please you. A team that's dedicated to the job makes the best of every tab that Facebook has to offer. Designers, content updaters, ideators, populators- and watch your fan following break the ceiling.
There's always a little more information that'll get the audience of one more potential buyer. It could be something that doesn't gel with your theme of communication or maybe something you forgot in your marketing brief. But that's what we're here for. Twitter and Digit9.0 make for another profit-reaping combination, as the curt way of putting your message out gives you a smarter edge.
And we can't help add, "Ain't that tweet?"!
To sell, you need to be seen. And with millions of sites and domains being generated every day, and an exponential number of brands that are breaking ground on competition, it takes some really complicated math to figure how many search engines will put your website on priority.
Which is where we step in. Affiliations with over 40 of the most used search engines helps our clients gain that edge of being in the immediate search results at once. So there you have it- your brand/product/service perched at the top of websites, making key-words out of your content exclusively and absolutely no way that your potential buyer could miss you.
You call it Search Engine Optimisation, we prefer calling it thorough, sincere marketing.
Online advertising is a double-edged sword that requires special skills to wield it. It is also the last tool in the marketing arsenal that pushes your content to the users at the final stage and helps you reap the benefits of maximum visibility to your product/service. In the process, we make sure that you not only get ROI in terms of the financial investment that you make, but we also give you ROI – Return on Ideas, that we invest in! We're here to make sure that you miss nothing in your online campaign.
Add colour, motion, and glamour to your video, and you've pretty much already sold your product to your audience. Even better, get the celebrity to talk about the brand or product, and rest assured that word's spreading fast enough. Videos, video blogs, photo-blogs, event coverage, album promotions- all are services packaged neatly in our kitty while offering you the services at Digit9.0. Add to that contests and quizzes, and associated applications that get your audience not only hooked to your brand, but also recommending it around- and you have what makes for a cloudburst of publicity. Digit9.0's services include creating content, compiling videos and clicking as good as everything that the brand celebrity is associated with- a function available not only for the glamorous clients, but also for companies with other interests.
Regardless of today's textual-visual marketing, content is the king. The viewers are hooked to the Internet for all the updates and happenings in the entertainment industry. Given the number of broadband sites in the market, the competition is very tough. One can't afford to lose time for getting the data from various sources and still be on top of the list. Digit9.0 gives a one-stop-solution to all the textual, image and video content on entertainment that a user could possibly want. The content we provide is updated, and covers all aspects of the news. No raw deals here. Be it music, movies, gossip, parties or events, Digit9.0 keeps you abreast with all that happens in tinsel-town with the minutest details accounted for. What's more- the data is chiselled and garnished, ready to be put live in a flash. We make sure you give your audience the content footage which helps you gain a foothold in their hearts and minds.
It's everything you could ask for, and more.

Honeywell Humidifier Parts
Westside Wholesale offers Honeywell Humidifier parts to complement Honeywell appliances. Buy Honeywell Demineralization Cartridge for Ultrasonic Humidifiers at an affordable price at Westside Wholesale.
Demineralization cartridge eliminates the minerals from water. Lack of this procedure can bring to the formation of the white dust, which is an airborne residue. It appears when the water is hard. It can become a real problem for the person. Indoor air should be free from this substance because the dust residue can get to the lungs of the person. It is hazardous for health and can bring to negative consequences. Humidifier lung is a condition that develops as a result of that. Experts advise changing the demineralization cartridge every two or three months. It will thwart the formation of such minerals and help to remain healthy. The symptoms of this condition include the following ones: high temperature, shortage of breath, chills, aches all over the body, lung inflammation, coughing, tiredness.
Some models of humidifiers start illuminating with green light reminding the owner of the necessity to replace the demineralization cartridge. Think about using the distilled water for humidification of air to avoid unpleasant consequences. This kind of water does not include so much mineral content. For this reason, the risk of white dust formation is not that big. Buy Honeywell demineralization cartridge for ultrasonic humidifiers DC-102 to solve this problem in your house. This product can function with Honeywell ultrasonic humidifiers of the following models: HUT-102, HUT-102M.
One can remove minerals from water with Humidifier Mineral Pads. They can serve the customers for about 15-30 days. The duration depends upon the water. The harder it is the faster the service period is over.
Honeywell humidifier mineral absorption pads suit the following models of humidifiers: HWM-330, HWM-331, HWM-335, HWM-450. The mineral absorption pads decrease mineral buildup. Using them the maintenance of humidifiers becomes less complicated. These humidifier parts enhance the performance of the unit and make it work properly. The task of every customer is to maintain the efficiency level of the humidifier. WestsideWholesale can help in that.

How to Select
How to select Humidifier Parts
The repair of a humidifier is a very tricky and challenging process, especially when you have no idea where to get high quality replacement parts and details. This guide will help you specify what part of the humidifier is not working and find a matching replacement to fix the problem. Oftentimes a problem can be fixed within an hour or even less time. The details of the humidifier parts that break often are the cartridges, filters, humidistat and thermostats.
When a thermostat or as it is also called, temperature support device is broken, the water temperature inside the humidifier is no longer maintained at the desired level. You can easily know if the thermostat is broken by checking the water temperature. To replace such detail, you need to find the temperature controller that will have the same specifications as the old detail did. You can also choose a more advanced part and install a temperature sensor instead of a thermostat. This will help you preset the temperature level and know that it will be maintained automatically.
Humidistat is the most essential detail of the device. This part measures the humidity in the air and controls the device's operation accordingly. If the humidistat is broken, your humidifier will maintain too high or too low humidity level which may lead to unwanted consequences. Equipping your humidifier with this small part will help you always know the humidity level. Moreover, such an appliance will automatically adjust the operation according to the information it shows.
Cartridges and filters are the parts of a humidifier that help create healthy and comfortable humidity level in the room. Without such parts, the moisture that comes from the humidifier would not be clean and safe. Demineralization cartridges prevent lime and calcium from appearing inside the device's water tank and in addition to that dispose of dust that oftentimes appears in the water. Filters perform additional cleaning job before the water transforms into steam and gets into the air. You need to replace the filters and cartridges from the humidifier at least twice a year. To know what type of detail to select, check the specifications of the old item and look for a replacement with matching data.
If you don't know how to replace a particular detail or filter, better hire a professional to do that for you. That way you'll be sure your humidifier will operate correctly. The money you will pay the technician can't be compared with the amount you would need to spend if you break your humidifier.

Beautiful! Very happy
To The Seaside Rectangle Invitations Loved! The invitations were amazing, packaging and presentation was very nice as well! Would recommend the site and invitations! Very happy!!!
Great product, fast service!
To The Seaside Tea-length Invitations I ordered both my save the date magnets and my invites through magnet street, and both products were easily customizable, arrived quickly, and were beautiful! They even send extra envelopes and a nice box to keep everything in (so nothing gets damaged). Highly recommend!
The product came out exactly how I pictured it.
To The Seaside Save the Date Magnets I ordered a sample and liked the neutral colors and fresh look it had. It was easy to peronalize it online adding text and rearranging the line spacings. The service was excellent as well!
To The Seaside Save the Date Magnets It was so easy to personalize this magnet with the color we picked for our beach wedding next year. They arrived within the time frame they gave me and in such a nice box! The quality is great and extremely crisp and clear! Very satisfied with them!
Great Product!
To The Seaside Save the Date Magnets The magnets were perfect. High quality, affordable, and true to the online design. I would highly recommend and will be ordering my invites in a few months with confidence.

We're sorry, this product is currently unavailable. Don't worry, we have more Powertab Clincher Wheels in stock.
Contact Us for future availability.
Ardennes…if you think classic Belgian racing when you hear these words then Hed named the Hed Ardennes CL Clincher Bicycle Wheelset right. For Hed, these wheels evoke cobbles, the hard men of the spring classics, hard training, and serious racing. After 15 years of work staying on top of the aero wheel world, Hed turned their attention to traditional wheels. It seemed like a strange direction to go, but Hed was tired of looking at alloy wheels and thinking "these could be SO much better". They are.
But what makes 23mm better than the ubiquitous 19mm rim? Width. Picture a standard 23mm tire on the C2 rim. Tire and rim width are the same, the sidewalls are fairly straight, and the width of the rim spreads the tread contact patch out. With straighter sidewalls, and more rubber on the road, cornering is an entirely new experience. The sidewalls don't flop over in a hard corner, and more rubber on the road is, well... better. C2s should be run with lower pressure, since there is more air volume in the wider tire profile. The same tire on a 19mm rim looks more like the profile of a light bulb. The curved sidewalls flop over under hard cornering, there is less rubber on the road, and more air pressure is needed to prevent pinch flats.
Sharing all the same advantages as the Ardennes FR, the Ardennes CL (Classic) is a more suitable for ultimate longevity, larger riders, and/or Cyclocross. With its classic look and ride, the CL is a favorite everyday wheel for the professionals Hed works with.

(...you shouldn't be using bleeding-edge Xorg releases in a production environment anyway)
I first implemented multiseat for Ubuntu in 2004, and I believe it still works just as well to this day. This just improves it.
I know that you can define an InputClass to be specific enough to match a particular input device. The problem was that I could not find an option which ties an InputClass to a particular seat.
Specifically, ServerLayout can refer to a specific InputDevice, but not to a specific InputClass, or at least I haven't found a way to do it, which is why I gave up. I've just checked with "man xorg.conf" with xserver 1.10.3
If you can tell me how it's supposed to work, I'd be really really happy!
- Do I need a videocard per seat?
- Is it easy to get running? Like, is this already in a state where I install something through my package manager and be done?
- What happens to 3D acceleration in a multiseat configuration?
We are two at home, both adicted to the internets (so we spend a lot of time in front of our respective computers). Right now we have a Vista desktop plus two laptops (Vista + linux), and I'm thinking in getting myself another desktop. Would you say it makes sense to set up a multiseat linux system on the existing desktop instead of going for another one? I'm thinking that it'd have to run Windows on a virtual machine and handle whatever it is I may be doing in linux. Would this push things too much for a rather basic dual core CPU? Also, I imagine the wiring of peripherals may get a bit messy if I wanted the systems to be in different rooms...
There are options with nested X servers (Xnest or Xephyr) and the like, but you lose some stuff (3d acceleration). agdf did some work to make two X servers run on a single radeon, but those patches are out of date now.
One card per seat is what pretty much everyone uses. I got an extra PCI HD4350 for a silly amount of money -- even that's an overkill for casual browsing.
MAKE SURE to use similar gfx cards, preferably running the same driver. It might work with other combinations (Nvidia + AMD, Intel + AMD, etc), but this is rare, and why risk it?
You don't even need to install anything, just update some config files (most notably, kdmrc). Not sure if gdm works with multiseat now, I remember reading that they broke it.- Is it easy to get running? Like, is this already in a state where I install something through my package manager and be done?
It's not hard if you follow a tutorial, like this one: http://sadevil.org/blog/2010/04/04/multiseat-on-debian/
With one card per user, nothing. It works as before.- What happens to 3D acceleration in a multiseat configuration?
This is our situation, and the solution is really good for both of us. In fact, we swap seats all the time, treat them as two computers, and everything works well.We are two at home, both adicted to the internets (so we spend a lot of time in front of our respective computers).
I have a PhenomII quad core and 4GB ram, and that's plenty. A dual core should be enough for most situations. Of course, the other seat gets a bit sluggish if I issue "emerge -udjv @world", an hog all the memory, but that can be planned around
Thanks, this is awesome! Will save me good money and space and make for an interesting little thing to do!

Rory McIlroy, a native of Holywood in Co Down, Northern Ireland, may not have to choose between Ireland and Great Britain for which nation he wants to represent in the upcoming 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The Guardian reports that Peter Dawson, chief executive of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, said that McIlroy may not be forced into choosing, rather that a regulation will make the decision for him.
In January, McIlroy had indicated that he may even opt out of the Olympics in 2016 altogether in order to avoid any major backlash following his decision. He told the BBC, "Play for one side or the other — or not play at all because I may upset too many people. Those are my three options I'm considering very carefully."
However, Dawson, speaking to a group of select journalists, has now said, "Because of Rory's history of playing for Ireland at amateur level and at World Cup level there may be a regulation within the Olympic rules which would determine who he would have to play for."
"We are still looking at the matter but under that regulation he could play under Irish colours."
"It's quite ambiguous as there are regulations within the IOC (International Olympic Committee) that if you play previous world championships for a certain country that has to carry with you."
"So the question is, is the World Cup of Golf a world championship and so on. Golf isn't structured in the same way as it is with other sports."
"But I would very much like to take this burden of choice away from the player, if possible, because it's not fair."
"I think Rory has made it pretty clear, and what I have heard privately he is worried about it and the last thing we want is a player worrying about it."
Currently, McIlroy is ranked number two in the world. Golf is returning to the Olympics in 2016 for the first time since 1904.

To start, find out what shape she likes. Popular diamond shapes include round, oval, princess-cut, emerald-cut, Asscher-cut, marquise-cut, radiant-cut, pear-shaped, and heart-shaped diamonds. The majority of diamond engagement rings today are set with a round diamond. And most of the remaining rings are set with princess-cut diamonds.
Use the tool to the right to view different shapes of 1-carat diamond set in a ring.

Using innovative, interdisciplinary curricula, this program charts a new field of praxis for those who desire to make a difference in the world.
The Peace and Conflict Studies Specialization will provide a theoretical understanding of human conflict and practical training in interpersonal and intrapersonal communication, cultural dialogues, reflection, and mediation skills.
The Program is designed to serve individuals seeking a career in conflict intervention, social advocacy, human rights resolutions, and family/legal mediation; those individuals desiring to add conflict transformation practices to their existing skill set, and returning veterans interested in engaging with peace initiatives at both local and global levels.
Coursework aims to inform skill development and understanding of inter- and intrapersonal communication, inter-group dialogues, mediation skills, and the use of arts in peace building. These skills have broad applications in a variety of employment settings, including international non-governmental agencies (NGOs), domestic governmental agencies and embassies abroad, family courts/legal clinics, health care organizations, education, and business.
This two-year, 36-credit program is offered in a low-residency format, in which students start each year with an 8-day residency on Lesley's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. During the residency you'll take classes, meet with faculty members, conduct research, and network with peers. Between residencies you'll continue your studies in your home community and communicate regularly with faculty and peers via email, phone, and online tools.
The Interdisciplinary Studies program also offers an Advanced Professional Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies.Program Coordinator: Dr. Meenakshi Chhabra (email@example.com)
