Regularly ranked above the likes of CNN, the BBC and the Huffington Post, Reddit is the most influential website many people have never heard of. Billing itself as "the front page of the internet", the social sharing site is a platform where you can share interesting links and discussions about any topic under the sun. Users, known as redditors, submit links, start conversations and post comments, all of which are upvoted or downvoted by others. More upvotes mean better prominence on the site and more "karma" for the person who made the submission.
This simple, powerful system has turned Reddit into one of the web's most popular and influential places. Sometimes viewed as one big community, Reddit is made up of a series of smaller, specific-interest communities, called subreddits.
By default, the front page draws posts from popular subreddits such as /r/funny and /r/worldnews. Registering an account gives you voting rights and lets you customise your front page with your interests – whether that's /r/Ukulele (for fans of the tiny instrument) or /r/PerfectFit (objects unexpectedly fitting into others).
The "front page of the internet" moniker is quite apt: those links you see shared on Facebook and Twitter of cats that resemble dictators, world-changing scientific studies and weird news stories almost certainly went viral on Reddit first. With a highly-engaged community of influential sharers behind it, anything popular on Reddit soon becomes popular across the web, and sometimes beyond.
Given its influence and responsiveness to things that are out-of-the-ordinary, it's surprising that Reddit isn't on the radar for most cultural organisations. But how can our sector add to Reddit and what can we get out of it?
Getting started
Getting started with Reddit, as with any social network, is about creating an account and immersing yourself in the site for a while. Find your interests, learn the unwritten rules and get a feel for what works. Reddit is notoriously hostile to marketers who jump straight in; a whole subreddit, /r/HailCorporate, is dedicated to calling out ham-fisted attempts at self-promotion. And those posts are the lucky ones – make an obvious attempt to push your product at redditors, and you'll find yourself downvoted into oblivion.
As creative cultural organisations, we have content that is genuinely exciting and shareable – we shouldn't need to resort to the corporate shilling. Deciding what to post should come naturally. If people won't be excited to discover your post, it's not worth creating. Rather than linking to your new exhibition or show, consider what would stimulate real interest. Is there something amazing in your exhibition that nobody has seen before; a video so fantastic that it just begs to be watched? Then it's time to share.
First, a word of warning: self-promotion extends to individual blogs and articles as well, not just those with a product to push. Reddit's personal entry on self-promotion is well worth a look. The first line is a mantra to share by: "It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a website, it's not okay to be a website with a reddit account." The key here is that you have to be a legitimate and active member of the community, because that's exactly what it is, not a platform for self-promotion. Do submit from a variety of sources and post into relevant subreddits; don't post only your links and beg for others to upvote them.
Sharing content yourself is as straightforward as creating a link to an image, video or webpage, coming up with an intriguing title, and posting it in the right subreddit. Make content appeal to a wide audience and it will get shared widely, particularly if it can be legitimately posted in one of the larger subreddits. In fact, if something is interesting enough, another user may have already shared it. You can check what links back to your content by visiting http://reddit.com/domain/ – suffixing the URL with your own domain name, eg http://reddit.com/domain/britishmuseum.org.
What are the results like?
If your post gets a positive response, expect high traffic but low long-term engagement. You might gain lots of click-throughs, but research has shown that traffic from Reddit has the highest bounce rate of any social network. A redditor's loyalty is to Reddit, not to your site, and the majority of redditors will leave after viewing only the thing they came to see.
What else?
Another option is to venture into /r/IAmA ("I am a …") – it's a subreddit that lets anyone put themselves forward for an "AMA" (ask me anything) to answer questions from the community. Topics are presented in the following format: "IamA stage manager at a large theatre, AMA" or "AMAA" (ask me almost anything). Given the right participant, the IAmA subreddit can be more forgiving about self-promotion, if you're prepared to give honest answers.
Someone who is willing to discuss an unusual job, interesting discovery or controversial topic on your behalf can create a powerful means of spreading the word about your museum or organisation's work, and create real engagement. A recent AMA featured Sir David Attenborough, who was promoting a film made in partnership with the Natural History Museum, yet his willingness to answer questions made it a spectacular success. On the other hand, an AMA with Woody Harrelson went famously wrong when he only wanted to discuss his new film. Tellingly, one user commented: "Reddit isn't a good venue to pitch your movie, it's a venue to pitch yourself."
That sums up Reddit: not a place for promoting products, rather one for sharing what you have that will enrich other people's experience. As a sector, we produce this sort of thing by the bucketload, so perhaps it's time we shared more of what we create with this influential corner of the web.

Due to her long keel she is stable under foot and able to go through any chop whether under sail or motor. She has a decent set of tan coloured sails so she has a traditional look. In additional, she has bilge plates which allow her to take the ground so drying out is straight forward.

I have had my pre lci (July 06) 535d m sport for almost a month now. 55k miles and I love it to bits. Once thing I find frustrating however, especially when pulling out of junctions and overtaking is the auto box. I would describe it as being lazy and it can take a while to get on with things. The car is plenty quick already but if I were to get it remapped would that also help improve the throttle response?
Please note this is my first Auto car. I came from a Golf R32 with instant throttle response so perhaps thats what I am missing to some extent.
Thoughts and opinions wanted also from non 535d owners if a remap on your other 'auto' also helped the reaction time of the gearbox throttle response.
Note I have also seen the sprintbooster plug in. But I am not paying for something that I can resolve by slamming my right foot into the throttle a bit more. I can get a remap done for not much more as I have been a regular customer with my local remapping company.

Happy October! September FLEW by, so it's nice that we've got a new month (especially one that ends in ridiculous costumes!). Today's sales are pretty minimal, but still worth checking out. Here we go:
- Thanks to Cleverly, we're getting a heads up on a BIG sale – NAEM denim, a brand that she and I both love, will be on Beyond the Rack at 11am EST. Go True to Size; this brand is fantastic, and you'll be glad you treated yourself to it!
- Kensie and Kensie Girl will be on Hautelook today at 11am EST. Kensie jeans run True to Size. Own a pair? Let me know; I'd love for you to write a review!
- For fun cargos and other great items, check out today's Da-Nang sale on Rue La La. If the price is right, you'll definitely want to scope out something stellar.
Hmm… is that really it? Let me know if there are any sales I missed!

Also, does anybody have a wishlist of combinatoric operations that they would like to see in Stata, other than for the generation of the above sequences?
If I type

James should probably send his package to SSC. I don't know if James is using Mata in this project, but it is probably a good idea.

I speak
about the violence expressed in the Qur'an and practiced in Muhammad's
life in order to address the idea, widespread in the West, that the
violence we see today is a deformation of Islam. We must honestly admit
that there are two readings of the Qur'an and the sunna
(Islamic traditions connected to Muhammad): one that opts for the verses
that encourage tolerance toward other believers, and one that prefers
the verses that encourage conflict. Both readings are legitimate. (pp. 69-70; emphasis added)
A bit later, Fr. Samir states,
the problem is that, whatever their position, Muslims will not admit
that some verses of the Qur'an no longer have relevance for present
situations. Therefore, the 'ulima' (qur'anic doctors of the law) are
obliged to say that they do not agree with those who choose to adopt the
Verse of the Sword as normative, even if they cannot condemn them.
Consequently, in the Qur'an there are two different choices, the
aggressive and the peaceful, and both of them are acceptable. There is a
need for an authority, unanimously acknowledged by Muslims, that could
say: From now on, only this verse is valid. But this does notand
probably will neverhappen.
What are the consquences of this serious problem?
This means that when some fanatics kill children, women, and men in the name of pure
and authentic Islam, or in the name of the Qur'an or of the Muslim
tradition, nobody can tell them: 'You are not true and authentic
Muslims.' All they can say is: 'Your reading of Islam is not ours.' And
this is the ambiguity of Islam, from its beginning to our present day:
violence is a part of it, although it is also possible to choose
tolerance; tolerance is a part of it, but it is also possible to choose
violence. (p. 72).
This helps make sense of the fact that very few Muslims or Muslim
groups renounce acts of violence committed by those who identify
themself as Muslim and as carrying out jihad. Regarding jihad, Fr. Samir points out that "All the Islamist groups who adopt the word jihad
into their organization do not intend it to be understood in its
mystical meaning but rather with its violence connotation. ... The term jihad
indicates the Muslim war in the name of God to defend Islam" (p. 62).
He also notes that historically, three different ways, or tendencies,
have developed within Islam as it seeks worldwide conversion of all
people. The most extreme is that which uses military action and
violence. The second is the "mystical-spiritual" approach, which "has as
its goal the Muslim return to the lost authentiicty of Islam and the
propogation of the message of Qur'an among non-Muslim populations." The
third approach is "socio-political" in nature, and it involves migration
and political strategies with a long-term approach to domination, which
"is considered an inevitable movement of history" (pp. 139-40).
In 2010, in an interview with National Catholic Register, Fr. Samir again referred to the "ambiguity" inherent to Islam today:
Some would argue that the 9/11 bombers were not real Muslims, but fundamentalist ideologues and terrorists?
Yes but this is the wrong position because radical Muslims are true
Muslims. I'm not saying that the true Islam is bin Laden, this is not my
opinion. But I would contend that bin Laden is a true Muslim a true
Muslim. Pastor Terry Jones [the evangelical pastor who has threatened
to burn the Koran] cannot say he's truly representing Christianity
because you cannot find anything in the Gospel that says that. But all
the positions of radical Muslims you'll find in the Koran and in the
tradition. You'll find other positions, but this is one, and one that is
very strongly presented in the Koran and in the Sunnah. Nine-eleven was
a Muslim action even if for apologetic reasons, it's said that this was
a terrorist action and terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, that
Islam means peace and so on.
Fr. James Schall, SJ, in his lengthy review of Fr. Samir's book in Homiletic & Pastoral Review (November 2009), wrote:
One of the most useful things that Samir does in this book is to
explain how the Muslim will understand us. He will see signs of weakness
in what we call simple good will or cooperation. We see the suicide
bomber as a kind of blind madness or fanaticism. Samir explains how
Muslim theologians have worked around suicide bombing so as to justify
it. The suicide bomber even becomes a "martyr." In this case, suicide
bombing becomes a kind of personal sacrifice, even though many others
are killed and suicide was generally condemned in Muslim tradition.
Samir is aware that many Muslims just want to live in peace. But
others have a much more aggressive concept of what Islam is about. They
think that everyone should be Muslim. A Muslim who converts to another
religion or philosophy can be subject to death. Muslim countries will
vary in how this penalty is carried out, but it is a factor that is not
simply imaginary.
The people of the world, to worship Allah properly, should all be
subject to the one Law, which should be enforced by what we call the
state. Samir recounts that in Islam there is no real distinction between
state, religion, and custom. There is absoluteness in this worship that
allows no one to be outside. Jews and Christians, as a sort of
compromise, are given a certain second-class status in Muslim countries,
provided they pay a tax and do not seek to convert Muslims. Those who
are not Jews or Christians technically can be killed. It is difficult to
believe that such rules or traditions exist, but they do. And they are
not seen as in any way wrong. They are part of a pious effort to subject
all things to Allah. ...
This incisive book deserves widespread reading. It is clear, sensible
and well-informed. It represents what the service of intelligence to the
faith really means. It follows Aquinas' dictum that we must understand a
position urged against the truth. Only in understanding this can we
estimate what we are up against and begin to think of how to confront
it. Father Samir's 111 Questions will do more than start us thinking about these issues. It will lay out the whole scope of what the "ambiguity of Islam" means.

Opponents of a sewer rate hike in Dixon plan to picket Tuesday's City Council meeting and let city leaders know they want a November ballot item to be placed for residents to vote on the city's sewer plans.
The group sent a mass letter out inviting residents to a 5:30 p.m. picnic at Hall Park to gather and prepare for the meeting which begins at 7 p.m. in the City Council chamber, 600 East A. St.
"It seems the City Council is tired of hearing the same voices again and again. They need to hear new voices, see new faces in the audience, and in large numbers to make a significant impact," noted the invite, which was signed by residents Loran Hoffmann, Shirley Humphrey and Donna Armstrong. "We need you and your friends and neighbors attend the meeting to speak up and request that referendum Repeal Resolution 14-061 be certified and placed on the November ballot.
The letter writers say more than 1,500 citizens have requested the opportunity to vote on the issue, signing petitions in the spring to have the matter put on the November ballot. Those petitions, however were rejected by the city clerk and city attorney as signature sheets lacked evidence of having been attached to a full page description of the resolution.

I needed a pretty high end computer for some work I was doing on the side and Ineeded it quickly. Not having enough money on hand to buy one I decided to rent one and I found a place online called Rent My Computer Now which looked great.
I found the computer I wanted and put my application in. The application required a $50 non refundable fee for processing. I was leary about that but singed up anyway. That was on Monday.
I heard back from them on Tuesdday saying I had some more papers to sign. No big deal. I sent the papers back in and got a message back saying in would take 1 business day to process and let me know if I was approved. Again, no big deal. Well that's when the nightmare began.
I did not hear from them on Wednesday but on Thursday I got an email saying that I had been refeunded my $50? No other explination. I thought I had been denied. I emailed them and asked and they said no I had not been denied but in fact had been approved! But they also said they were having server problems. [continued below]....
At that point I became supsiciaous and decided to take my businees elsewhere.
On Friiday morning I did get one of my emails asnwered saying I was approved and I would get my tracking number for the computer shipment by the end of the day. So I waited, and waited, and waited. I called them at just after after 5pm EST and someone picked up, and then hung up the phone. Called again and the same thing happended. I emailed and got no answer.
At around 11pm on Saturday I got an emailed congratulating me on my approval, but not telling me anything had been shipped.
I was done with them and had already ordred from the other company, who did all they said they would.
On Sunday I sent an email to Rent My Computer Now asking for my $50 back bercause I felt they did deliver on the promise to approve me within 1 business day. I knew it was a longshot but I felt a bit cheated and had to ask.
What really got me was that when I checked my Credit Card account I found that they had charged to the $50 fee twice! I have asked for this refend via email and never recived a response. I have call numoerous times and the owner is nver in and the receptionist has no autority and does not know what's going on.
It's a one man operation and I think he is making a living, $50 at a time.

Anyone have a recommendation for ultralight stocking foot chest waders? Very hard to find basic waders without many bells and whistles that add needless weight.Dec 1, 2013 at 4:24 am #2049526
Ike JutkowitzBPL Member
@ikeLocale: Central Michigan
I mostly just wet wade in the same nylon pants and minimalist trail runners I hike in, a reasonable approach in Michigan, with a fishing season that runs from May through September.
In Alaska, waders become more of a necessity. I just use the most basic Frogg Toggs. Couldn't tell you what they weigh but they have held up to 3 seasons of use so far. I wear them for hiking, paddling, and wading. The biggest weight savings trick I learned was to wear an oversized pair of flats shoes instead of wading boots.Dec 1, 2013 at 4:27 am #2049527Dec 1, 2013 at 6:10 am #2049533
Sonic Pros look great but are among the most expensive Reddington. Anyone know weight of the lesser priced Reddiington waders?Dec 1, 2013 at 10:20 am #2049595
If you could go with a leg only wader, then Wiggy's has a pair weighing 10 oz at $60.Dec 14, 2013 at 4:57 pm #2054322
Unfortunately, I am in need of chest waders. I use an ultralight float tube in high mountain lakes….the water is typically about 60 degrees in late summer and early fall so long underwear under chest waders is a necessity for a day of fishing.Feb 4, 2014 at 8:31 pm #2069997
Jay JohnsonMember
I think Sierra Trading Post lists the Redington Crosswater Waders as 1lb11oz for size large. For about $100 dollars that is a pretty good deal for chest waders with shaped feet and gravel guards. If the weight is accurate, it is pretty close to the Redington ultra packable ones at 1lb8oz for a large although the cheapest I've found those are for $220.
I'm buying my first waders soon and also worry about pack weight. I think I'm gonna go with the Crosswater waders. Good entry level wader with good value and fairly light weight.Feb 14, 2014 at 11:46 am #2073488

@traylLocale: SE Tx
If you're getting into the water seriously enough to require chest waders, float tube, and long johns, perhaps another option you might consider would be to shift from floating-in-waders to a packraft. You're still floating, can still get about anywhere you could with the waders + float ring setup, and would be less immersed in cold water. Plus, it would open up MANY more options (deeper water, river/lake crossings, ???). Granted, this is a heavier solution, but might be worth considering what with the expanded horizons available and all.Feb 14, 2014 at 7:42 pm #2073664
Bill SegravesSpectator
What type of float tube, what shoes and what fins? Know what it all weighs? Would be useful to compare complete systems for getting around in the water.

@idahoanLocale: Boise, Idaho
I am in the same boat as you at the moment. I think that any given pair of commercially available waders can undergo some modifications that will bring the weight down 1/4 or more pounds. Some of these modifications are specific to float tubing, but you and I are in the same "tube" here :)
1. Get rid of any belt.
2. Cut off the gravel guards.
3. Cut out the pocket(s) from inside the waders.
4. Cut off "reinforced knee" layer, which doesn't help us float tubers at all. Depending on the wader, it may or may not even have this layer. Or it may or may not be something you can cut out which depends on the construction. On the Cabela's G-II and RVG II, the construction enables you to cut it out.
5. Cut off a couple of inches from the top and re-hem. Depending on the float tube, you may not need true chest-high waders. Another thing to look at is the geometry of the wader when you sit down into the float tube. The wader will not come up nearly as high on the back as it will the front. Even if you need every inch on the back, there will be a lot of material on the front that you don't need.
6. The straps are usually made from very heavy material. When float tubing, you don't need heavy duty straps to keep your waders in place. I am going to sew my own straps on whatever waders I settle on.
When I settle on a pair of waders (looking hard at the Reddington Crosswaters/Sonic-Pro Ultra Packables or a Cabela's Bluestream/RVG-II/G-II) I will take a lot of weight off using the above modifications.
I'd love to know where you're at in the search!

One hiker that goes with us uses a modified contracter bag and duct tape for stocking footed waders up to the hip.Mar 16, 2014 at 7:20 am #2083176
Jennifer WBPL Member
@tothetrailLocale: So. Cal.
Not exactly sure what is required for something to be considered waders, but would a modified drysuit work?
My Gore Tex Kokatat with the Gore Tex feet was about $800 new, but I've seen them for less than $200. They are especially cheap when they need new wrist and neck gaskets, which you wouldn't need anyway.
Seems like you could get one and remove the arms and neck while keeping the upper portion intact. Mine is the heavy duty version with lots of cordura for canyoneering. It weighs exactly 3 lbs. But you'd just need the lightweight version.
The key for you will be finding one with the feet attached.

For example, if you state that Stock A will fall below its stock rate at 10 o'clock and it does, then this indicates you gain earnings. However, I will show you an effective hedging technique that creates a "earnings zone" with an overall favorable expectation. It's a great concept, nevertheless, to select somebody who is experienced not merely with words however with the inner workings of this financial investment.
It is why it's described as binary options, thinking about that you'll discover only two results. The reason being binary option only ends in two outcomes. Binary option trading calls and puts turn over extremely quickly – either hourly or everyday. Essentially, select anyone who has actually made a college diploma or has actually received ample background in finance.
Right here is a great circumstances: you purchased a binary option on ABC International's stock at $200 having a binary benefit of $2000. This setup won't occur all the time, however as long as you constantly trade into a strong trend, and keep aware for possible reversals, you need to see an overall earnings trading forex binary options. The Anyoption fraud if ever there is a thing needs to be reported.
Only once it is safe if you actually dive into trading with real binary option signals cash. Owing to our pessimistic earnings anticipation, an existing side-by-side win and loss will create a loss of 15 percent, while a victory is going to produce a profit of 60 to 70 percent! The said details specified is here to aid you in case you desire binary option trading. A common rank and file worker, director, or even vice presidents of companies would most likely state it's awfully challenging to create totally sincere cash today. With this option, the investors do not require broker or monetary advisors.
A not successful trade might pay $30 (15 % of the original $200 financial investment at expiration) on some certain securities. For this reason, they are inside the most desirable position to guess no matter if the asset will probably be moving up or down. On condition that the expiry rate is over our Call option strike rate, however lower than our Put option strike rate, we are going to receive an overall earnings of 60 to 70 percent of our invested capital. With binary options trading, you can set it and forget it.

Every high mileage car I've ever owned has been at its most expensive in the 120-180k mile range. It's just the point where all the not-quite-maintenance-but-not-quite-lifetime stuff begins to fail and you start to see the longterm impact of neglecting regular maintenance at lower miles. It doesn't help that you seem to be ignoring the #1 and #2 rules of DIY car repairs: the cheapest possible fix
comes first and take it to a professional when your only other option is throwing money at multiple possible solutions.
Good luck in any case. Hopefully you're coming up on the light at the end of the tunnel.

LONDON - Millions of pounds worth of criminal assets, including luxury homes and jewellery, will remain out of the reach of the British state after a landmark ruling by the Appeal Court.
The wife of a convicted drug smuggler successfully argued in court it was illegal for authorities to confiscate her share of the couple's wealth.
Britain's law enforcement and prosecuting agencies, including Customs and the Serious Organised Crime Agency, are studying the implications of the ruling, which leaves them powerless to confiscate criminal proceeds from a spouse who has not been convicted of any offence where property is jointly owned.
Three Court of Appeal judges said there was no "legal principle or public policy" that permitted Revenue and Customs to deprive Marion Gibson of half her share of £5,430,671 ($14,033,637) which the courts had ruled was the value of criminal proceeds her husband must pay back to the state.
Gene Gibson, 48, from Warrington, was jailed in 1999 for 25 years and given a confiscation order for conspiracy to import cocaine. At confiscation proceedings brought by the Revenue and Customs Prosecution Office in 2000, it was estimated he had made more than £38 million drug trafficking.
His wife instructed lawyers to fight the confiscation order on the grounds that she would be made "destitute" if forced to sell the family home.
The Court of Appeal held last week that Marion Gibson's half interest in the home she shared with her husband and their children, plus other financial instruments, could not be confiscated.
Criminal law experts warned last night that the ruling gave the green light to crime bosses to protect their wealth by sharing it with their wives. Rodney Warren, director of the Criminal Law Solicitors Association, said the authorities "would now be at a distinct disadvantage" in enforcing confiscation orders.

Women's golf recap: Rams conclude play at Westbrook Spring Invitational
Feb. 25, 2013
PEORIA, Ariz. – The Colorado State women's golf team concluded play on Monday at the Westbrook Spring Invitational, the Rams' first tournament action of the spring schedule, finishing in 12th place in the strong 13-team field that featured 10 top-100 programs in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin national rankings.
"I feel like we are very close to breaking through," said Rams' head coach Susan Jennings after her team's final round of action. "We are working on focusing on all of our positives."
And the Rams had several positives to focus on as their spring season continues over the coming weeks, including improved play from top to bottom in the Rams' lineup.
In a tournament field that included 74 competitors, the Rams were one of nine programs to place four performers in the top-50 individually, joining No. 14 Texas Tech, No. 7 Arkansas, No. 9 Washington, No. 51 indiana, No. 65 Mississippi State, No. 95 Eastern Michigan, No. 85 Iowa and No. 117 Illinois.
Emily Roering picked up where she left off in the fall season, pacing the squad for the fourth time in six tournaments in 2012-13. The junior from Glenwood, Minn., capped her third round in strong fashion, carding birdies on two of last three holes to finish with a 3-over 75 and move into a tie for 31st with a three-round score of 228 (+12).
Classmates Christina Spinzig and Betsy Kelly finished two and three strokes behind Roering, respectively.
Spinzig, who was coming off of a season-low round of 73 on Sunday evening, finished her tournament with a five-over 77 to shoot a three-round total of 230 (+14). She tied for 36th, her best individual finish of the season, and her lowest tournament score and finish since carding a 229 to finish tied for 11th at the 2012 Mountain West Championships.
Kelly bounced back from a slow start to the tournament. After carding rounds of 79 and 77 on Day 1, she stayed on track throughout Monday's final round to post a 75 and finish tied for 42nd with a three-round total of 231 (+15).
"Betsy was very steady," added Jennings. "Her short game was strong today."
Redshirt freshman Mikayla Tatman rounded out the scoring for the Rams, carding a 76 to finish the tournament tied for 48th, and senior Cecilie Krefting closed the tournament in a tie for 64th, five strokes off Tatman's pace with a three-round total of 238.
CSU sophomore Jessa LaBarbera finished fifth among individual competitors in the field, carding rounds of 74, 78 and 81 to finish tied with Tatman for 48th overall at 17 over par.
Colorado State returns to the course next week, March 4-5, at the Juli Inkster Spartan Invitational in San Jose, Calif.

Amazon: Fever Pitch (Widescreen Edition) with Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon
Whoever said there is no crying in baseball has never seen this movie. Women cry. Men cry. For agony. For love. For the angst of the curse. And this is as much about the love of baseball itself as it is about romantic love that I am not certain where one stops and the other begins. But that's only one of the things I love about this movie . . .
THIS IS AMAZING! I searched fro it this weekend and it was everything i hoped for and more. Perfect "late night snack."Added 6 Years Ago from Benjerry

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Flashback to June 2007. In a draft that saw Greg Oden and Kevin Durant go first and second respectively, the Celtics selected Jeff Green fifth overall. The Celtics' brass appeared to be drafting for the future, acquiring a potential heir-apparent to Paul Pierce. As it turned out, Green was actually drafted for the Seattle Supersonics as part of an agreement that would spin Green to Seattle for Ray Allen, and the rest is history.
Fast forward to present day and it looks as if Green is still the Celtics' future, it just took a little while to get here. To recap, he made the all-rookie team in 2007-2008 and averaged double digits in three and a half years with the Sonics/Thunder.
The Celtics traded for Green at the 2011 trade deadline in a deal that sent fan favorite Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma City. Now, much more so than when he was drafted, there were high expectations of Green to come in and perform. He went on to manage just under 10 points per game in limited minutes.
Green signed a one-year deal to stay in Boston but saw that voided when he was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm. He was forced to miss the entire 2011-2012 season due to surgery and rehabilitation.
Coming into this season there were questions of whether Green would be able to play professional basketball again. However after a remarkable recovery Green inked a 4-year, $36 million deal with the Celtics and, again, expectations were soaring.
A slow start had fans seriously questioning the worth of the young forward, unsure if he could ever fully recover. Rajon Rondo's season-ending ACL tear on January 28th seemingly doomed the Celtics but an unexpected resurgence from Green exemplified skill and potential and helped secure a playoff spot for the squad.
Minus one star in Rondo and with nagging injuries to other veterans, Green picked up the slack. The following statistics speak demonstrate Green's in-season development.
Further, Green averaged 25 points and 7 boards per 48 minutes after the All-Star break. The biggest takeaway from these numbers is not the increase in production but rather the efficiency at which Green performed. Similar to the league's top scorers, Green's field goals increased as did his shooting percentages.
This has to be encouraging for fans and front office officials in a time of transition for the Celtics. At 26, Green has played along side some of the game's best and is still young enough for continued improvement. Such improvements were seen this season when the Celtics lacked go-to guys on a consistent basis. Green continued his increased level of production in the playoffs leading Boston in scoring with 20 points per game.
Moving forward it would appear that Green has carved out a role in the Celtics' starting lineup. He started only 17 games this season but made the most of those opportunities, putting up 20 PPG, 6 RPG and shooting over 50% from both inside and outside the arc in those starts.
Unlike a guy like Avery Bradley, Green's impact is felt most in the stat sheet. He will be relied upon to handle the bulk of the scoring especially if Pierce and KG are gone next season. Fortunately, he has shown consistency and reliability which have begun brewing confidence.
A more confident Green will get to the free throw line more. He is a career 78% free throw shooter but only averages 3.2 attempts per game despite a large majority of his field goals being high percentage looks.
Taking a look back at Green's original scouting report, he was advertised as a very capable and versatile scorer with presence on both ends of the court. His size combined with natural ability was prototypical and allowed him to play all five positions. This is exactly what the Celtics needed in 2007 and it is exactly what they need now. It's safe to say he has lived up to these expectations, but it's now time to see if Green can take the next step.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Marist softball team (26-22, 16-4 MAAC) heads to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship Tournament tomorrow, as the team looks to defend its 2013 title. After taking sole propriety of the regular season title, the Red Foxes enter the tournament as the No. 1 seed under the leadership of sixth-year Head Coach Joe Ausanio.
Marist will first face off against the fifth-seeded Monmouth Hawks (22-19, 13-8 MAAC) to kick off tournament play.
The Red Foxes finished the regular season with a 26-22 overall record while posting a 16-4 conference record. Marist not only leads the conference in first place, but the team leads the MAAC in four categories. The Red Foxes have posted 245 runs, 223 RBIs, 43 home runs and 78 stolen bases to lead the conference in 2014. Marist also placed second in batting average (.289), second in slug percentage (.443), second in on base percentage (.380), and second in hits (360).
Leading Marist in batting average, junior Taylor Kuzma (Freehold, N.J.) has posted a .386 average over the season, which places her second in the MAAC. Kuzma also leads Marist in slug percentage (.649), on base percentage (.514), and fielding percentage (1.000). Also for Marist, sophomore Maureen Duddy (San Mateo, Calif.) is sixth in the MAAC for batting average (.359), and leads the Red Foxes in triples with two. Sophomore Kyrsten Van Natta (Maplewood, N.J.) has claimed a stellar season for Marist, leading the team in games played and started (48), at bats (141), runs (41), hits (48), home runs (9), RBIs (39), and stolen bases (22). Leading the team with 214 putouts, and notching seven home runs in the regular season, senior Alyssa Zahka (Lexington, Mass.) ended the season with a 10-game hitting streaking compiling 14 hits.
In the pitching circle, junior Melanie White (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) leads Marist with a 2.79 ERA. She has only allowed one earned run in her last four appearance, closing her season with a shutout over Canisius. She has allowed the least amount of runs (30) and earned runs (26), while posting a team-high 55 strikeouts. Senior Paige Lewis (Temecula, Calif.) also posted 55 strikeouts for the Red Foxes, posting an 11-6 record in 2014. Lewis made 21 appearance and 16 starts for Marist, throwing 16 complete games with two shutouts.
Marist will first take on No. 5 Monmouth, who defeated the fourth-seeded Siena 2-1 today. Earier in the season, the Red Foxes split their doubleheader against the Hawks, falling 3-6 in game one, and taking game two 12-1.
Since joining the conference in 1996, the Red Foxes have made seven MAAC Tournament appearances, clinching the title in 2006 and 2013. Last season, Marist defeated Fairfield in the MAAC Championship Finals game. The team moved on to the NCAA Tournament, where they fell to No. 1 Oklahoma and Fordham in the first round.
Marist will head to the MAAC Championship Tournament from May 8-11, as the first seed. The Red Foxes open tournament play at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, as their opponent is to be determined.

A major security incident targeting Google servers in 2009 seems to have been triggered by counter-intelligence, new information reveals.
An imprisoned hacker designed an anti-skimming ATM device together with two other inventors, according to Reuters. Romanian 33-year-old Valentin Boanta developed the Secure Revolving System to change the way ATMs read bank cards and prevent hidden skimming devices from stealing clients' personal information. The Romanian has been serving a five-year jail sentence for bank card fraud since 2009.

Rose root.
Rose root is an adaptogen.
Have you heard about the Finnish lady who, after hearing all the hype about rose root, went and dug up her roses?
The tea wasn't very tasty, and she didn't feel at all more alert on it.
... snigger.
But no, rose root is not the root of roses. It's related to the Sedums, and in fact, it used to be Sedum roseum. Its current name is Rhodiola rosea.
Pic: Dug-up root, leaf and sliced-up root.
A couple years ago I read this article about rose root in one or the other 'mercan herbal glossy, and whoever wrote the piece hadn't ever even seen rose root. They said the name came from the flower (or whatever) looking like a rose.
Nope. It's the scent of the root, which the name sort of gives away. I've dug up any number of rootlets, and yes, they smell strongly of roses -- after they've been washed.
Strange thing is, though, that the bunch I dug up day before yesterday didn't have any scent at all.
So I'm putting it back to let it grow some more, to see if it's something to do with winter dormancy: the leaves don't hold on to their roots anymore and break off at a brush of a hand, quite unlike rose root leaves in summer.
Remind me to dig it up again to test for that scent, come next summer.
Rose root is native to northern Finland, but rare (or endangered - doesn't matter, the message being, don't pick it, grow it). It's also native to the Rocky Mountains of the US; there, it's usually still called Sedum roseum.
The roots of rose root grow slowly, so if you want a quick harvest, go for something else. Maral root (Stemmacantha carthamoides) grows fairly fast, even though it's a root crop as well. And of course, nettles go wild all over the place, and the seeds strengthen the adrenals nicely.
Other than that, it's a beauty in the garden, showing off its greenish yellow flowers very early in the year. Pretty!

I continue reading comments from conservative Republicans concerning the growth of collectivism in this nation. Following are examples:
1. Democrats want to build railroads which compel people to share the ride with others.
2. A healthcare law was passed for those who lack it. We all pay for it.
3. Unions actually want to bargain for fellow workers.
4. Planned Parenthood provides free information about marriage and children. Why can't they figure it out themselves?
5. There are programs to help reduce obesity. I have a constitutional right to be fat, you fat head!
6. Police paid by THE GOVERNMENT enforce the law rather than a group of vigilantes.
7. Publicly paid firemen deal with fires rather than volunteer groups. I have not had a fire in my home and yet I have to pay for those who do!
8. There are free public schools run by THE GOVERNMENT!
9. Students are forced to sit in class with other students rather than having a tutor or being home schooled!
10. Wealthy people are forced to pay higher taxes–I thought all Americans were equal!

Bacteria in people's digestive systems -- gut germs -- seem to affect whether they become overweight or obese, and new research sheds more light on why that might be.
The findings, from an international team of scientists, also suggest that a diet heavy in fiber could change the makeup of these germs, possibly making it easier for people to shed pounds.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Requirements Inc.11890 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, Virginia USA
Requirements Inc. Just another Indian scam, straight from the Orient Reston Virginia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This is a handful of Indians that have gotten together to take further advantage of those out of work. They over-promise and under-deliver. They promise they are IIBA endorsed, but so? If you still cannot get a job after their training, there's no point.
You are given the choice of signing a contract with them too, after you've completed their training. They are supposed to place you in a job. Here's what you have to look forward to if you sign their contract:
Within the contract it specifically states not to apply for any job on your own. If you do, you're supposed to say it's 'Corp to Corp' which means they represent you as a third party. That means the work you do goes directly to Requirements Inc. so they can take 20% from each paycheck for a year, then they give you what is left over from that. You will have no health insurance benefits, as well as no other benefits from them either as they take their cut from your work. [continued below]....
All that 'might' be okay if they can guarantee you a job in this allegedly 'hot' career field, but they cannot. It states right there in the contract they guarantee you NOTHING. After you've signed the papers stating you'll work with them to be placed via their contract, you continue getting trained. These courses are real-time courses with an instructor over the phone, online via WebEx, or can even be in person if you're in the area where the classes are located (in Reston, VA). However, the instructors make it overtly clear you're last on their list. Every instructor, including the CEO, Sri, all have full-time jobs and families that are on their priority list first. You will regularly hear babies crying in the background as the instructors regularly 'teach' their knowledge from their homes. That's not very professional for a course that costs thousands of dollars.
These resume review/interview prep classes are only twice each week for an hour and a half. The way the website is written makes it seem you can finish at your own pace by going through each part of this process very quickly. Not so. When their own specific religious holidays roll around, they'll cancel classes. When they have to work overtime at their day jobs, they'll cancel classes. When they feel sick, they'll cancel classes. When the instructor feels the need to take a vacation, they'll cancel classes. When they just don't feel like teaching a class for the night, they'll cancel classes. Often you'll call into the conference number and the instructor won't even show up to teach. I have worked with this company 6 months and still have no job from them. The efforts are minimal, as if this is more of a hobby than an actual business.
Here's the reality of their job placement:
They 'allegedly' have 2 recruiters. In 6 months since I've gone through their process. I have been contacted by only 1 recruiter. I live in the DC metro area where there are literally hundreds of jobs in business analysis. Because the contract states I cannot personally apply for jobs, I am expected to get kicked out of my home and lose everything because they're too stupid/disorganized/lazy to know how to place people into jobs. No wait...I'm sure they can say I can apply for jobs, but I have to say it's 'Corp to Corp', so they can get their financial cut from me doing all their footwork. Pretty good scam they've got going, huh? Requirements Inc. has no real connections to know how to put people in jobs either apparently.
I believe the only people they place into jobs are H1Bs, and other foreign visa holders where people are not an American Citizen. I am a US Citizen with degrees, a clearance, and experience, but that doesn't seem to get the ball rolling with them one bit. My bet is the Indian woman that has been a stay at home mother for about a decade will miraculously be placed in a job before me. The company has more of a vested interest in placing people that are not US Citizens. Companies such as this, 8a companies, sponsors these people, holds their paperwork, then continues to take 20% from their paycheck for many, many years to come. Since I'm a citizen, I am only contractually obligated to work with them for one year; they can only make 20% off of me for one year, then I can bail if I choose by going off and working on my own.
If you can move back in with your parents, do that. Then go back to school and get another degree. Learning anything from these people has proven a waste of time, money, and resources for me. I truly wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt to not be another South Asian scam machine, but I was wrong.

The Hendersonville Community Band Fall Concert, "I Could Have Danced All Night," will feature the Ballroom Dance Club from Opportunity House -- Janette Morgan, president, Hendersonville High School Dancers directed by Laura Roper, and West Henderson High School Dancers directed by Resi Dolbee. They will perform everything from a hoedown to ballet -- including a waltz, the tango and swing!
Conductor and music director Paul Barber will lead the 75 member concert band at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in the Hendersonville High School auditorium. This is Barber's first fall concert as conductor since his appointment to the position in May. He comes to the Community Band from Farmington, Mich., where he served as director of fine arts for Farmington Public Schools until his retirement in 2003. Paul and Fern Barber founded the Farmington Community Band in 1966 which he conducted until their move here. Fern Barber is a clarinetist with the Hendersonville Community Band.
I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady by Loewe, arranged by Bennett, will open the fall concert. Next, eight couples from the Ballroom Dance Club will waltz to Leroy Anderson's Belle of the Ball. Hendersonville High Dancers will step to the finale from River Dance by Whelan, arranged by Strommen, and perform to Pas de Deux by Frank.
West Henderson High dancers will be center stage for Slavonic Dance No. 8 by Dvorak, arranged by Longfield, and Italian Polka by Rachmaninoff, arranged by Leidzen. The band will play Ballet Music from Prince Igor (Polyvetsian Dances) by Borodin, arranged by Godfrey, and Reed's Armenian Dances -- Part I to complete the first half of the program.
Anderson's Irish Washerwoman, a lively start for the second half, will be followed by Pennsylvania Polka by Lee and Manners, arranged by Warrington. The mood will change with the dramatic Blue Tango by Leroy Anderson performed by West Henderson High Dancers. It will shift again with a boisterous number from the Hendersonville High Dancers -- Hoe Down by Copland, arranged by Rogers. For the last dance number the Ballroom Dance Club will swing to Big Band Signature, arranged by Higgins. Hendersonville Community Band will end an evening of music and dance with a reprise from I Could Have Danced All Night by Loewe, arranged by Cacavas.
Advance tickets are available from band members, Opportunity House, Foxfire Gallery and the Visitors Center. Admission is $8 adults and $5 students. Remaining tickets will be sold at the door.

Michael was a key part of the team responsible for data compilation, analysis, and due diligence support at all stages of the transaction. His breadth and depth of knowledge was integral to timely and accurate information needs of the transaction and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him in the future.

I have known Mike for many years and used his services for my company as well as our personal taxes. He not only completed our financials and tax returns, but provided excellent advice in tax planning. He always gave us options and outlined the effectiveness and cost of all them. High integrity and ethics provided us with a high level of trust in his work and his counsel.

Senate confirms Wolf as secretary
HARRISBURG (AP) — The man who had been Pennsylvania's acting secretary of the Department of Health since October now has the job.
The state Senate confirmed Michael Wolf, 46, to the post of health secretary Monday. He'll
lead the 1,700-employee agency.
The department's mission includes promoting healthy and safe lifestyles, as well as the regulation of hospitals, nursing homes and other medical facilities.
Wolf is a former public affairs and policy director with one of the world's largest drugmakers, Pfizer. He has a master's degree from the University of Phoenix and attended college at Slippery Rock University.
Wolf's predecessor, Dr. Eli Avila, said when he left the job last year that he wanted to pursue other interests and spend more time with his family.
