Getting Twitter followers is a bit like a game of Pokemon: gotta catch ' em all.
And as the 1 percent argument goes, the more you have, the more you're going to get, said Amanda MacArthur, director of content and marketing at BuzzFarmers, a company that manages social media profiles for clients.
A few months ago, MacArthur experimented with a Twitter account with zero followers. She had some auto-tweets, attended one tweet chat and included a couple random tweets per week, she said. After two weeks, she had ten new followers.
"Then I used Fiverr.com to buy 2,500 followers and did the same exact thing for a month,' she said. "In 30 days I had 500 new, real followers. The 2,500 fake ones got deleted by Twitter soon after, but I still had the 500 that decided, based on the content and by the perceived influence, that the account was worth following.'
So the number of followers a person has is valuable because many people think it is an "indicator of influence,' MacArthur said.
And influence or followers is Twitter's "most basic currency,' said Eric Gilbert, assistant professor in Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing.
His study on how to get more followers, which was presented in Paris in May, looked at about a half-million tweets from more than 500 users. After more than 15 months, Gilbert came up with some tips on how to increase one's Twitter presence:
-- Don't talk about yourself because "informers' get Twitter followers 30 times faster than "meformers.'
-- Stay away from negative posts — death, unemployment and poor health. Twitter is based on weak social ties where most followers have never met each other.
-- Use hashtags sparingly because users with a high "hashtag ratio' pick up fewer new followers.
Beyond numbers, content is also important, especially for job seekers, MacArthur said.
"The way you tweet has a greater bearing over what an employer thinks of you than your follower count -- that is unless you're trying to get hired for a social media job,' she said.
However, if a person's career industry requires a legion of followers, MacArthur has some tips. BuzzFarmers has been able to get a client about 23,100 followers, so she knows what she's talking about.
-- Start talking to people. "(Twitter is) not this place where you get to just show up; you really have to work at it and build friendships,' MacArthur said. So use "@' to talk or respond to people.
-- Attend in-person events (Tweetups) and tweet chats to get to know people.
-- Find people who watch the same TV shows or have the same hobbies through hashtags. Then interact with them.
Content in social media accounts is king, said Nance Rosen, a UCLA instructor who teaches career development and personal brand building.
"Social media is the first place that recruiters look when they're seeking people to fill specific job functions,' said Rosen, who works with headhunters and business owners all over the world through ShoutBrand. "You can't help but reveal how you think and the nature of your personality, and that translates quite easily for recruiters into what kind of person you are and whether that kind of person seems like a good fit with both the job and the culture that they're representing.'
Twitter reveals how clued in someone is when it comes to breaking news, opinion makers, key influencers and other important folks in a variety of interest areas, Rosen said. It also shows how effectively a person could express herself concisely, she added.
Rosen, like Gilbert, said people should not obsess over telling people about their own lives.
"Most people get on social media as if they have just heard Frank Sinatra singing ' I've Gotta Be Me,'' Rosen said. Twitter isn't about getting to be you. Twitter is about serving your audience and making sure that the words you're using — that the topics you're on — serves the people that are consuming your thoughts.'
Yet Jihad Jackson, a student at Pasadena City College, said he mainly tweets about himself, his ideas and some motivational reflections. What he is doing will eventually aid him in his job search, he said.
Employers "would like to see how my personal life is and if I'm all right and not a psychopath,' he said. "A person's voice is good. A person's voice should never be silent.'

Atchison Imports, in the heart of Mobile's Old Dauphin Way Historic District, makes a big impression on shoppers before they even venture inside. The imposing brick building with its neat trim of ivy, built in 1907 as a warehouse, now serves a grander purpose by housing one of Alabama's premier furniture and home decor stores.
Owners Tony and Sylvia Atchison moved into the building in 1988 after three months of renovation. (In fact, they live right next door.) While the structure was modernized, some details such as exposed brick, aluminum siding ceilings, and the original freight elevator keep the building feeling appropriately historic—a perfect setting for a medley of timeless antiques and more contemporary pieces.
Atchison Imports is acclaimed for its selection of antiques, but the store has evolved over the past two decades. "We're more of a home store now," says Tony. "We don't just sell European decorative antiques, but modern furniture, lighting, art, and accessories. We have just about everything for the home."
And how. With 15,000 square feet and four floors, Atchison is a shopper's paradise. It's tempting to linger all day (and many customers do). But despite its large size, the store is easy to navigate. Furniture, lamps, and accessories are arranged into functional settings so shoppers can imagine the pieces in their own rooms.
Art is prominently displayed throughout the store, and most of it has a local provenance. Tony and Sylvia are great supporters of local artists, and the store features works from Mobile artists Bonnie Fuchs and Brent Smith, and Baton Rouge native Lauren Barksdale. Atchison Imports also plays host to art shows throughout the year.
Each spring and fall, the Atchisons scour markets in the U.S. and Europe for great finds for the store. Antwerp is home base, with the couple making forays into France and Holland. Tony picks the furniture with a discerning eye. "There are a lot of variables that go into the selection of pieces for the store," he says. "We always try to find things that have character to them."
Tony says stripped oak antiques are particularly popular these days. Atchison Imports has French and Belgian stripped oak buffets and chests from the turn of the century. "It's just simple, pretty furniture," he says. "Right now people are looking for a simpler, relaxed aesthetic."
For customers in the market for more modern comforts, the store features high-quality sofas from the venerable lines of Lee and Hickory Chair as well as from a newer company called Verellen. Verellen's large-scale sofas are upholstered in luxurious fabrics, and are American-made with a distinctly European aesthetic.
Some of Sylvia's favorite items the store carries are Visual Comfort designer lighting and Lafco candles, featuring unusual scents in hand-blown vessels. Luxurious MATTEO bedding is a new addition to the store's lineup, as Sylvia searches for the best home products to off er customers. "I'm always looking to add another layer to the store," she says.
Tony and Sylvia Atchison have worked diligently over the past 25 years to grow Atchison Imports into a unique home store where every customer feels comfortable. "It's a feeling that you get when you come into the store," Sylvia says. "It evokes all your senses. You smell the beautiful candles, you look around the beautiful old building, and you want to take part of it home with you. We evoke a certain lifestyle that's elegant, but never intimidating."

Here is my first "game against Game Explorer". I will post more in time. The idea is simple, I choose a side, and play my moves, then I pick one of the top three replies from the database, and without looking at the list of moves, I make my next move, trying to play as many "GM moves" as possible. In my first game (the one below) I managed to play 12 "GM moves" before I ran out of book with 13. Ne4.

Senior Cam McGeough vividly remembers the last time the Minot State men's club hockey team traveled to Delaware. It's not a happy memory.
It was 2011 when the Beavers last made the 26-hour bus ride to Fred Rust Arena in Newark, Del., for the National Tournament. MSU - a sixth seed that year - had its title hopes dashed in the opening round, losing to 11th-seeded Oakland.
Three years later, MSU heads back to Delaware looking to defends its first championship. The ninth-seeded Beavers play the tournament host, No. 8 seed Delaware, on Saturday at 6 p.m. CST in the second round.

The Minot State men's club hockey team heads to Delaware looking to capture its second straight championship.
"The first game of nationals is always a tough one," McGeough said. "It's nerve-racking. We're driving 26 hours. It's going to be on our minds for the 26 hours on the bus. We've been there before. We drove to Delaware and we lost our first game. We drove 26 hours there and drove 26 hours back and I still have the feeling in my stomach and it burns me. That's not going to happen this year."
The Beavers (23-6-4) enter the tournament winners of five straight after an up-and-down season. Freshman forward Jeremy Johnson leads the team in scoring with 51 points (30 goals, 21 assists). Junior forward Michael Jordan has a team-high 32 assists and is second in scoring with 46 points.
The Blue Hens roster boasts the second-highest scorer in the American Collegiate Hockey Association. In 37 games this season, senior forward Mark Zeszut tallied 69 points (40 g, 29 a). Only Arizona State's Kale Dolinksi had more (71).
While the rest of Delaware's roster doesn't score at the pace of Zeszut, MSU coach Wade Regier said they make up for it in effort.
"They are one of the hardest-working teams in the nation," Regier said. "They have one guy who's a big threat to score, but the remaining guys are just hard-working guys. They're the type of guys that control the puck, are very well-disciplined and play a puck-possession style of game."
Regier said it will be a near-capacity crowd to see the hometown Blue Hens play the Beavers. Delaware (23-10-3) finished 8-5 at home during the regular season. With the home-ice advantage, the Blue Hens have a noticeable edge.
"With their crowd, we do not want them at all involved," Regier said. "If Delaware comes in and scores in the first five minutes, it's going to put an interesting take on the game. Another thing is it's an Olympic-sized ice. They're used to practicing on it."
This year - perhaps more than in the past - the field is wide open with seeding being determined by computer rankings for the first time. Arizona State has been the unquestioned No. 1 seed the entire season, but the rest of the field is a toss-up.
"There's 20 good teams coming into the tournament," MSU senior goaltender Wyatt Waselenchuk said. "Anyone could come away with it. Hopefully, we can be the hardest-working team. Just get a few bounces here and there and we'll just take it one game at a time."
Said McGeough: "For us, I think we just have to worry about ourselves. Come nationals, any team can win. That's the thing I've learned the four years I've been here. I think the one thing that's going to make us win is if we outplay the other team. There's going to be a lot of skilled teams out there. What's going to win this tournament is if we go out and beat the guy next to you every single shift for 60 minutes."
If the Beavers get past Delaware, it will set up a potential quarterfinal game with top-ranked ASU on Sunday. The Sun Devils defeated MSU 2-1 in November. But Regier and the Beavers aren't looking ahead.
"We can't look past Delaware," Regier said. "If we look past Delaware they're going to take us to the cleaners, especially with their large home crowd."
The Beavers finished the regular season 11-6 against the National Tournament field. They didn't play Delaware and haven't since October 2012 - a 5-0 victory for the Beavers. But past history doesn't mean anything in do-or-die situations, which is why MSU is more worried about itself and less about the opposing team.
"Where teams get into trouble is they start to try and make too many adjustments or they overscout a team," Regier said. "Last year, we just played our style of hockey. We dictated what went on. We forced the puck and were aggressive. We didn't worry about the other teams."
Said Waselenchuk: "We have to go in there and not worry about our opponent. We have to work hard and implement the systems we've been working on. We need to go out there and play with nothing to lose."

MIDDLEVILLE, MI -- When the bell rings Saturday night at the Barry County Expo Center, there will be one new championship belt on the line and two West Michigan men battling for it.
Nick Givhan (6-0, 6 KOs), of Kalamazoo, will take on Thomas Amaro, a Holland fighter who is 2-2 with two KOs, for the West Michigan light welterweight championship belt during the Barry County Beatdown II and Toughman Professional Boxing event.
"I think it's going to be a tough fight for Givhan," West Michigan Boxing Authority president Tony Arsulowicz said. "Thomas Amaro has been beat but he's a tough puncher. He might give Givhan something to look at."
WMBA vice president Bob Serulla said they passed up a couple opponents for Givhan before locking onto Amaro.
"There aren't a ton of people to fight at that weight in West Michigan and we don't want to offer it up to anyone from out of state," Serulla said. "Nick has stated over and over he wants to win a belt and I think Thomas Amaro will give him a heck of a fight. He'll stand there and make it happen. I don't see this becoming a blow-out, that's for sure."
Hudsonville heavyweight Jordan Shimmell (11-0, 10 KOs) won the first ever WMBA belt, defeating Jackie Beard (7-9-1, 7 KOs) at the Orbit Room in January.
"It's a stepping stone for these young men," Serulla said of capturing local belts. "It gives them something to shoot for and something to look back on as well."
"I think Nick has a bright future, he's been a very classy individual every time I've met him," Serulla said. "He's got a great spirit and isn't afraid to talk himself up some so I think it'll be good for the bout."
Also scheduled to compete on the card:
• Caleb Grumett vs. Karinn Davis
• Vincent Jennings vs. Jim Sharp
• Candi Sarver vs. Shanice Bosombath
• James Thomas vs. Rico Robinson
• Justin Lopez vs. William Rountree
• Bowe Vincent vs. David McClendon
• Lane Staal vs. Eric Moon
• Juan Goode vs. Ray Lopez
• Roy Salada vs. Ray Lucies
• Justin Jones vs. TBD
Doors open at 6 p.m. with fights starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 before Saturday and are $25 at the door.

Patrick Feeney, a junior at Manlius Pebble Hill, interviewed Mike Myeong, a local teen hip hop artist who creates under two stage names. Myeong also attends Manlius Pebble Hill.
Genre: Hip-hop
Professional experience: He's self-taught. He started making music four years ago. He said he got the equipment he needs two years ago. About a year ago, I started to revolve my music around philosophy, broadly speaking. Here and there, my songs include content reminiscent of old school hip-hop. In most of my songs, you can find themes of love, life, and politics. I'm still finding my true style, and I can only get better!"
Web sites: www.myspace.com/brpproductions and www.youtube.com/user/mike3yo
Inspiration for music: "My inspiration came mainly from within. This may sound vague, but it's true. Perhaps a better way to put it is that I had no outer artists who influenced me. I wanted to make music because I knew that it was a means of implicit communication with the broader audience."
Artists/bands I admire: "I admire Blue Scholars, Rakim, Brother Ali, Nujabes, Substantial, Marcus D and many more underground hip-hop artists. A commonality between all these artists can be their passion for rapping. You can actually hear that they worked hard on the lyrics, editing, and portrayal of themes."
Writing Process: "When I write lyrics, I apply somewhat the properties of 'freewheeling.' Freewheeling is when you write down anything, everything that pops to your mind on a blank sheet of paper... Obviously though, I don't just jot down random things. I turn on a beat and depending on the measures, I have a basic idea on the style of my lyrics. Once I come up with a common theme and have something going, I rap the lyrics to the beat and from then on it's just revise, revise, revise."
Why I do it: "I do this because I believe it is a great way to increase one's understanding of the world. Not only that, but also because music is like a piece of writing. Now, there are many factions in rapping and I guess I am different from what we hear in the radio."
Performances: Mixem does not perform as of yet.

Pro Limit or Select Fin?
Hi all,
I have the choice of getting a Pro Limit slalom 32cm fin or a Select Freeslam 32cm. Only thing is the freeslam is about 30 usd more and will take over a month to arrive...
Any comments on which is better?
The Freeslam is derived from the Select Supercross. I have SX30&36 and find them excellent fins overall. 32 cm will be perfect with 5.8 m˛ and a good match with your JP. It is worth waiting a few weeks. In the meantime try moving the straps forward to decrease pressure on your smaller fin. You should experience less spinout.
Yeah, I definitely think that because Select specializes in fins it's a better choice. I'll try moving the straps forward next time I use the small fin. Cheers.
Hey,Stop right there>
I have a better fin for you :
Check out the D2 model.
Super fast and super high quality for a great price. Pros are using it.
You wouldn't happen to know if they do international shipping (to Hong Kong)?
The Select I've seen is 90 USD, and basically same delivery time. Do you know the price of the D2? Thanks.
Yes they do. Tell them that Jose Gave you their info. Talk to Ben.

TOKOZA is a Christian based African cultural choir that began serving the Inland Empire of Southern California in December of 2001.This unique ensemble's name is a common word in several southern African languages, meaning "praise, rejoice" or "be joyful".The groups' founders are siblings Roy Mwesa and Nomsa Mwesa Chali who felt led to share their amazing experiences of Godly, African cultural Music with America. The initial membership was made up of young students from Zambia and Zimbabwe. Over the years, Thokoza has attracted members from Nigeria, Jamaica, Kenya, South Africa and the United States of America.
As Christian ambassadors for Africa, Thokoza makes it a priority to minister to its audience while presenting an exciting and uplifting performance of selections that are specifically chosen to reflect various cultures of Africa, providing for a very informative experience.The group has taken their production on tour, blessing thousands of people all over California, Arizona, Michigan and Texas. Because Thokoza has targeted many groups of varying diversity by age, culture and ethnicity, their creative delivery of the message adjusts appropriately. However their message of the Gospel remains the same. Thokoza members' voluntary contribution of time, energy and resources has resulted in many positive outreach projects, and in the raising of funds for charities benefiting Africa, as well as local American communities.

BOSTON - A New York man was charged Thursday in federal court with defrauding his elderly grandparent in Greenfield of more than $250,000.
Michael Ostrowski, 41, of East Patchogue, N.Y., was charged in an indictment with conspiracy to commit mail fraud; mail fraud; interstate transportation of stolen property; receipt, possession, concealment and disposition of stolen property that crossed a state boundary; engaging in a monetary transaction in property derived from unlawful activity; and failure to file an income tax return, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Boston office of the Internal Revenue Service.
The indictment alleges that Ostrowski's grandparent lived in Greenfield until June 2006. After that, the grandparent, who was identified in a Department of Justice press release only as S.O., lived primarily in hospitals or nursing homes in Massachusetts.
From about June 20, 2006, to March 6, 2007, Ostrowski was the temporary guardian for S.O.
As temporary guardian, Ostrowski was required to manage assets and administer the estate in the best interests of S.O.
Instead, Ostrowski allegedly engaged in a conspiracy to defraud MassHealth, S.O., and the estate of S.O. by spending the assets and administering the estate for his benefit, rather than for the benefit of S.O.
Specifically, Ostrowski allegedly misappropriated the assets of S.O. and concealed assets by making fraudulent statements to Franklin Family and Probate Court, to MassHealth, to his successor temporary guardian, and to an elder care protective services worker.
It is also alleged that on Aug. 29, 2006, Ostrowski and another person liquidated a bank account in Greenfield belonging to S.O. that was worth more than $250,000, and a few days later took the cash across state lines to New York.
From then until June 2008, Ostrowski possessed, concealed, and spent substantial portions of the cash, according to the indictment.
On Oct. 30, 2006, and Feb. 5, 2008, Ostrowski allegedly engaged in two cash transactions involving more than $10,000 that was derived from mail fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property, and receipt of stolen property that had crossed a state line.
The indictment also alleges that Ostrowski willfully failed to file a federal income tax return for 2006.
According to the press release, Ostrowski faces the following maximum penalties: five years imprisonment on the conspiracy charge; 20 years imprisonment on the mail fraud charges; 10 years imprisonment on the stolen property charges and the monetary transaction charge; and one year imprisonment on the tax charge. There would also be hefty fines for each conviction.

Skip to comments.Reid: Public will greet health care bill with 'joy and happiness'
Posted on 12/24/2009 5:55:38 AM PST by Def Conservative
In the final minutes of the Senate health care debate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said lawmakers would hear "an earful" about the national health care bill from constituents who are solidly opposed to the legislation. In response, Majority Leader Harry Reid cited the case of a young disabled boy in Nevada who Reid said will now have health coverage and said that Democrats will indeed hear an earful -- "an earful of joy and happiness."
"Yes, we'll hear an earful," Reid added, "but it will be an earful of wonderment and happiness."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
"Joy and Happiness?"
OMG, how propagandistic can he get?
Not for five years. Lying SOB.
Yeah , Harry if the boy needs alot of money the ration board will deny him and ......... . I am sure its another Obama lie story. Ever looked at the polls on how many people are not happy Harry?
I wonder how joyous Mr. Reid would be if I took his VISA card and bought him a five thousand dollar watch?
Mr. Reid is a putz...and a damned good one.
Tyrannical thugs drunk on power ...
Absolutely, Harry and the Democrats will be "greeted as liberators" by the American people. /sarc
The voters will demonstrate their "joy and hapiness" by granting about 80 Democrat congressmen and 8 Democrat senators "early retirement" next November.
Has there ever been a political party more out of touch with the people than the Democrats? Harry Reid will never live this down,the fool.
Harry's been drinking again. I am beginning to think that this guy isn't planning on running for reelection.
The Public will greet this new law and their perps with Torches and Pitch-Forks. It won't be over until all there vital fluids have leaked to the sewers.
Pelosi, Ried, Obama, the Hitlers of our time. Their names will be synonymous with Hitler for they have designed the American Holocaust. Their Death Panels will be their Final Solution for the elderly and ill in this country.
These dictators MUST be voted out of our government along with their cohorts and fellow traitors.
Pitchforks and burning torches maybe...
Her Reid, insanity is a disease. He will need to get treatment..and fast.
Reid's level of insanity is in very advanced stages already.
Yes, we'll hear an earful," Reid added, "but it will be an earful of wonderment and happiness." ...................................... He must be thinking about his leaving the Senate.
Mr. niteowl77
He doesn't need to. He has already feathered his nest from crooked real estate deals with his piece of crap son. My guess is he will run again anyway because his rotten ego is out of control.
How many town halls will Harry hold to hear that joy??
I thought Reid was from Nevada, not North Korea.
I had to check and see if this was from The Onion! How freakin' delusional can he be?!
I dunno. Let's do a vote on that one.
I have a question, once the Senate and House go to a Conference Committee and merge the two bills into a final bill will there be two more cloture votes (60 votes needed) in the Senate, one to begin debate and one to end debate and vote?
Umm, Stupid Harry has started mimicking The Dear One in North Korea. A like minded pair for sure...
Harry is worth millons. You would think he would have tossed a few dollars to a disabled kid. Not. But he follows Obama who lets his half brother live im a mud hut and doesn't help.
Ya know, I can't help but think the symbolism of this being done on the eve of the birth of christ. It just seems they are giving the finger to all people of faith. They know what we believe and they just passed a bill that is anti-american and pro-abortion....
I thought about adding "NOT A SPOOF!" in the title of this post...
These people are doped up on hope-n-change and they need to go to rehab.
This serpent is clinically insane. He's the snake right out of Jungle Book movie. Hypnotizing those morons who follow with Kool-Aid bated breath.
One time when I was exiled in Wisconsin and so home sick for Colorado, a friend decided to visit for Christmas. She asked what I wanted from Colorado and I said anything, I would even welcome a Colorado Cow pie.
Well - she took me at my word and spray painted a cow pie gold and put glitter on it. It was quite lovely actually, except it wasn't quite dry all the way through. After an evening of wondering what smelled under the tree she said, you might want to open my present. We did and had a great laugh and promptly put the present back into it's wrapping and set it on the front porch.
Much to our surprise and chuckles, someone over night had stolen the present. He He.
I feel that Harry Reid and company gave us a cow pie in the form of health reform. Trouble is nobody is stupid enough to steal it if we put it out to dry.
Good. He'll be out in public shaking hands.
Yes. And the sad part is to many are. Look who we have as president.
Doesn't matter how insane the comment.
They have a dedicated force to enforce their directives.
We've got to get out the rifles, and be prepared to pay the price...
Hard to do.
Bloody hell...
Words have ceased to have meaning, if this is true. He's such a liar
Funny, I was thinking tar, rope, feathers and 535 dead swinging bodies from the steps of the Capitol for Christmas .....
Am I missing something?
Sorry Harry, you stinking, reeking turd. All joy and happiness in America is gone, thanks to you.
Joy and happiness will happen after some pretty dark times until you communist vipers are removed and jailed for treason against the Republic.
With any luck he will contract the swine flu as a result.
I guess this proves that the human capacity for self-delusion is virtually limitless

Was he perfect? Of course not.
But then again, he doesn't have to be, not all the time anyway. The bottom line with Roger Clemens' 9-3 win over Pittsburgh yesterday ... the Rocket's 349th career victory ... is that we now have another quality starter who is going to give us a chance to win every time out.
Now grant, his numbers weren't outstanding yesterday (6 IP, 5 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 Ks), but nobody expected them to be the first time out. I think it's good that he got through an outing throwing 108 pitches (let's pray he wakes up today feeling good) and that, once again, he'll build arm strength as the season goes on.
Clemens, Wang, Mussina, Pettitte and Clippard/Hughes. How can you not like that rotation?
I like what I'm seeing offensively too. We didn't have a homer in yesterday's game, yet still managed nine runs. That's a good sign. It means we're manufacturing runs and that several guys are doing their job.
Bobby Abreu, meanwhile, had two more hits yesterday and his average is up to .260. He's obviously regained his stroke. You think the people that wanted to banish Abreu just 10 days ago are sticking their foot in their mouths now?
Another positive, of course, is we've now won five straight. We should have shaved another game off our deficit to first-place Boston (we stand 10 1/2 out), but the choking Diamondbacks couldn't hold onto a late 3-2 lead. Sox won 4-3 in 10 innings.
But that's OK. There's an obvious good feeling in the Yankee clubhouse now. The players look
llike they're having fun. I know we're only beating Pittsburgh, but the truth is, good teams beat teams they're supposed to beat, so I take it for what it is.
Plus, it's still only early June.
Let's hope Tyler Clippard gives us another good outing today and we can complete a sweep of the Pirates. It would be nice to go into the off day with a good feeling before we continue our homestand against Arizona and the suddenly vulnerable Mets.
And of course, a nice way to go into the final episode of the Sopranos, my favorite show, along with Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Here's my prediction, by the way: After more bloodshed, a desperate Tony goes to the feds and blows the whistle on Phil Leotardo, punching his family's ticket into the Witness Protection Program and leaving the every-slight possibility of a Sopranos movie down the road. Not likely, though.
Either way, remember, in a perfect world, we'd all be Yankees, including Tony Soprano.

for sailor luna by rosepink0011Watch
©2014-2016 rosepink0011
this are the colours i found for your oc for eah!
Wow, that was really fast.
i went on goole and serched forest colouers and then green and loads of types came out
Yeah, the light bottom left green looks like it'd be cute for the top for Valeria, and then the dark green on the bottom left beside the color I like for the shirt might work for the skirt, and then I could give her shoes made of the brown on the bottom with a very tiny heel since she and Locus like to go out and walk in the forrest, and heels are not sensible for walking in the forrest. And maybe the middle green on the top could work for accent colors on her skirt and shirt.
Did you happen to see some other browns? I think Locus would wear more brown than green, to be opposite his sister.
i can serch it up ill do it now
Haha, ok. Did you think that idea sounds good color wise for Valeria's outfit?
XD, yea i think that the light green would sooo look great and the darker green as a skirt! and all the rest but i dont think i have all the correct colors to clolur her in so i'll buy some at whsmith or somthing
Ok. But yeah, I think that those four colors would be best, I like to keep outfits simple and not use too many colors...

Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper has become the latest Magpie legend to be immortalised at St James Metro station.
Harper, who has been with United 17 years, had his handprints permanently cast at the station, putting him alongside famous names including Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, Bob Moncur, Malcolm Macdonald, Shay Given and the late Sir Bobby Robson.
Steve Harper said: "It's a real honour to be joining such illustrious company at the St James Metro Station.With both Shay and I in the same goal, the likes of Alan and Malcolm will find it tough to score!
I think the Magpie Mover is terrific value for our fans and is a quick, efficient and easy way to travel."
Harper's place in the Metro station's hall of fame comes as public transport operators and NUFC cut the price of a Magpie Mover ticket - used by thousands of fans to get to games by bus and Metro.
Magpie Mover, which is available exclusively to season ticket holders and gives unlimited travel three hours either side of every Newcastle United home game, will cost just £10 this year.
NUFC and Network One have cut the price for a whole season's travel as part of a campaign to encourage more sustainable travel to and from matches.
John Conroy, Chairman of Network One said:"Travelling by public transport is a great way to get to the Match, and with the price of the Magpie Mover being cut to £10.00 this Season it is even better value."
Simon Esland, Head of Customer Operations at Newcastle United said: "Magpie Mover is very popular with our supporters and we are pleased to support an initiative that encourages supporters to leave their cars at home and use public transport to get to and from matches."
Magpie Mover forms part of the new Altoonative Travel campaign, which will provide fans with information on how to get to St James Park. The campaign is managed by Newcastle City Council on behalf of NUFC, and transport operators. Some of the new schemes which will be launched in the coming weeks include car sharing facility for fans, pay by phone at car parks in the city centre, and cycle parking provision in and around St James Park.

Country Village prepares for Brewfest on July 19, anticipates the end of construction | UPDATE
Country Village workers are looking forward to the end of construction around their shops as they bring in summer events.
"We are so excited for the end of construction, this is huge for us," said Nancy Stoll, owner of Quite the Find. "We had days where we had to close the entrance to County Village and I felt this really affected us because it caused a lot of confusion for people."
The city of Bothell is wrapping up a project that included widening Bothell-Everett Highway from approximately 1200 feet south of 228th St. SE to 240th St. SE.
"This corridor is a major north-south route in Bothell that requires improvements to provide acceptable levels of service for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians," said a city spokesperson.
Pavement was completed June 10 and now workers are constructing the sidewalk, a sound wall and installing a traffic signal at Country Village.
"This construction has certainly affected all of Bothell, not just Country Village," said Katie Loveless, assistant manager for the village. "It's been a challenge, one that we have been waiting every single day for it to be over. But there is an end in sight now and we are thrilled."
Loveless said Country Village has been putting on events to get customers to make up for the decrease in foot traffic since construction started.
"We've been doing our best efforts to do promotions and events to still get people out here," Loveless said.
One of those events, is the annual Brewfest hosted by Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation. The event this year is July 19 from 1-5 p.m. and will feature eight local breweries under the big tents, including Brickyard Brewing, Dirty Bucket Brewery, Duvall Springs Brewing, Foggy Noggin Brewing, Hi Fi Brewing, Lazy Boy Brewing, Triplehorn Brewing Company and Twelve Bar Brews. There is a $20 entry fee that includes a sampler glass and six 4-oz. A food truck will be on site.
"Attendees and the participating breweries mentioned they had fun last year and the event went great, so we are looking forward to bringing it back this year," Loveless said.
Proceeds from this event benefit the Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation, which brings live arts to the schools in the Northshore School District at no cost to the students.
Attendees must be at least 21 years old. Photo ID required.

Mike Pelfrey's display on the mound allowed the New York Mets to hold onto a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Star-Ledger's Jeremy Cothran:
On a cool evening by the Allegheny River Friday night, with a sold-out crowd of 36,418 in attendance, Mike Pelfrey rediscovered his dominant form. In picking up his 11th win, Pelfrey tossed seven scoreless innings. Riding his sinker, Pelfrey scattered seven hits and induced 14 groundball outs.
The New York Post describes how Pelfrey helped secure the win in more ways than one:
Pelfrey also contributed some unexpected defensive wizardry of his own, getting out of a sixth-inning jam by deftly fielding consecutive comebackers - one of which produced a double play - after Nate McLouth's double.
Despite keeping the Pirates blanked through seven, Jerry Manuel explains to the Daily News his reason for taking Pelfrey out of the game:
Pelfrey suggested he was fatigued when he was removed, but Jerry Manuel said the primary motivation was to limit Pelfrey's innings count, which is now at 145 in his first full big-league season. "He is in uncharted waters," Manuel said.
Manuel speaks highly of Pelfrey in Newsday:
"He got the big outs when he needed them," Manuel said. "I think that's a good sign that he is evolving into a quality pitcher."
Tonight at 7:05, the Mets head into their second game of the four-game series in Pittsburgh. On the mound, Pedro Martinez (3-3) faces off against the Pirates' Zach Duke (3-10).
Could a second straight sweep be in the works? Comment below.

For Brown, it's right, left, right, left
After eight games, it's back to left wing for Dustin Brown. A natural right winger, Brown spent 10 games on the left side in late November and December when the Kings were looking for help on the left side. When the Kings acquired left winger Marco Sturm, Brown went back to right wing, and Terry Murray expressed his desire for Brown to stay there. Now, Brown is back on the left. It's never been a big deal for Brown and, in fact, statistically he did just fine on left wing, with two goals and nine assists in those 10 games. But Brown has done more goal-scoring this season on the right side, which is why Murray acknowledged some reluctance in shifting Brown back to the left, with center Anze Kopitar and right winger Wayne Simmonds. Brown had five goals in his last eight games on the right side, but has not recorded a point in his last four games…
MURRAY: "I struggled with this one, because I looked at the month of December that he had. It was really good playing on the right side. That line, Kopi and he, really had some good things going. So I struggled with moving him to the left side again. All I can do is say that I'm hoping that everything continues on course. There's no issue with him moving over there, on Kopi's (left) side, so I'm just hoping, again, that they move forward."

Chief Me-She-Kin-No-Quah Little Turtle
Whitley County
Indiana, USA
Jul. 14, 1812
Fort Wayne
Allen County
Indiana, USA
Miami war chief. Born to a Miami chieftain and a Mahican mother in what is present day Indiana, he was given the name Me-she-kin-o-quah. During the American Revolution, frontier fighting brought Little Turtle in conflict with the American ally Augustin Mottin de La Balme who had destroyed Miami villages at Kekionga (present day Ft. Wayne) in November of 1780. At that time, Little Turtle rose to war chief of the Miamis. After the British defeat, the tribes of the old northwest found themselves in a boarder war with the Americans who were attempting to expand into their territory having co-opted it as veteran grant land. In October of 1790 General Josiah Harmar moved against Little Turtle who in turn led an ambush of Harmar's forces, killing almost 200. A second expeditionary group under General Arthur St. Clair was sent to eradicate Little Turtle's power base at Kekionga. Little Turtle led his Confederacy of about 1000 Miami, Delaware, and Shawnee warriors in a devastating defeat of the American army. About 630 soldiers, as well as about half that number of civilian camp followers, were killed in the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army at the hands of Indian forces. A far more thorough expedition under General Anthony Wayne was launched against Little Turtle's Confederacy in 1794. Convinced of the superiority of Wayne's forces, Little Turtle negotiated a peace with the Americans, and tried to convince his allies of their untenable position. Unable to do so, he left leadership to Blue Jacket of the Shawnees, who was then defeated by Wayne at Fallen Timbers. In 1795 Little Turtle represented eleven tribes at the treaty negotiations at Greenville. After he made his mark on the treaty he never went to war again. Little Turtle signed four more treaties in 1803, 1804, 1805, and 1809 that proved to be disadvantageous for the Miamis and lost him a great deal of respect within the tribe. In 1809 he lost his status won as war chief, and Miami leadership fell to others. He was given a government stipend and retired to his village, where within three years, he reportedly died from gout.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Historic landmarks span four centuries and portray the borough's vast architectural heritage. More than 190 structures or elements of structures, as well as two graveyards, a fence and three historic districts, have been designated by the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), and thus are protected from demolition or alteration without the commission's approval.
Last year was quiet for landmarking on the Island. No new landmarks were designated, though a public hearing was held in January 2013 on a proposal to name Harrison Street in Stapleton as the borough's fourth Historic District.
Harrison Street is a tucked-away residential enclave, often called "The Nook." It features 43 masonry and frame buildings, and the district includes sections of nearby Quinn, Brownell and Tompkins streets.
Architectural styles include Greek Revival buildings dating to the 1840s — at 64 and 92 Harrison St. — and Colonial Revival houses — at 48, 52, and 54 Quinn St.
Mount Sinai United Christian Church at 2 Tompkins St. was built in 1894 in the Dutch Colonial Revival Style, and falls within the boundaries of the district.
The proposed Harrison Street Historic District was selected as one of the Historic District Council's 2013 "Six to Celebrate" neighborhoods in New York City.
No date has been set for a final determination from Landmarks.
Existing Historic Districts on the Island are: Farm Colony-Seaview Hospital, designated in 1985; St. George-New Brighton (1994); and St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights (2004).
In recent years, landmark status has been granted to a rare, restored 1849 wooden saltbox at 29 Cottage Pl., Port Richmond; four Tompkinsville homes, known as Horton's Row and located on Westervelt Avenue, an early and rare example of attached single-family housing built for the middle class; a 166-year-old Greek Revival house built by a fisherman on William Street in Stapleton; the Vanderzee-Harper House on Westervelt Avenue, a mix of Queen Anne and Shingle styles that dates back to 1887.
Also recognized were three Sandy Ground cottages – the Rev. Isaac and Rebecca (Gray) Coleman House at 1482 Woodrow Rd., and two cottages at 565 and 569 Bloomingdale Rd. – and the Rossville AME Zion Church, 584 Bloomingdale Rd. Sandy Ground is the country's oldest free black settlement, with the descendants of the original settlers still living there. The cottages were constructed by Robert E. Mersereau between 1887 and 1898 as rental properties, probably by oystermen who lived and worked in the area.
For information on landmarks and how to obtain designation, email firstname.lastname@example.com; call 212-669-7817 or visit the commission's website at nyc.gov/html/lpc/html/home/home.shtml.
(Please note: Most private residences are closed to the public.)
Some of the borough's more famous landmarks include the Alice Austen House and Museum in Rosebank; Battery Weed at Fort Wadsworth; Borough Hall in St. George; the Conference House in Tottenville; the H.H. Richardson House in Arrochard; Historic Richmond Town, and Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, Livingston.
Alice Austen House, 2 Hylan Blvd., Rosebank. Built in the late 1660s, it was the family home of Alice Austen (1866-1952), one of the country's most prominent female photographers. The white, two-story, stone-and-frame structure and the small park surrounding it offer spectacular views of the Narrows. The public can tour the museum/house and view examples of Miss Austen's work.
Battery Weed, the old coastal gun battery site at Fort Wadsworth. One of the most powerful military installations on the eastern seaboard during the 19th century, the battery was built in the late 17th century and was one of the oldest continuously manned military installations in the United States before the Navy left in 1994.
Borough Hall, Richmond Terrace, St. George. Built between 1904 and 1906 in the Beaux Arts style, this imposing structure was designed by the prominent architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings, whose New York buildings include the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The brick-and-limestone landmark features a distinctive clock tower overlooking New York Harbor.
The lobby is decorated with a series of 13 bas-relief murals by Frederick Charles Stahr. The paintings, accessible to the public, form the largest WPA collection in New York City and portray significant moments from Staten Island's history.
The Conference House, Hylan Boulevard, Tottenville. This was the site of a peace conference on Sept. 11, 1776, between American representatives John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Edward Rutledge and British Admiral Lord Howe. Erected in the late 17th century by the Billopp family, the house is a rare and outstanding example of a fieldstone manor house in the New World. It is open to the public.
H.H. Richardson House, 45 McClean Ave., Arrochar. The house was an important and early design of H.H. Richardson's, according to the commission. Richardson is considered, together with Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, asone of three pioneering modern masters of Americanarchitecture, whose work influenced generations of American and European architects. He built the Arrochar house for himself and his wife in 1868.
Historic Richmond Town, Arthur Kill and Richmond roads. Now a "living history" open to the public, this recreated village is a collection of 28 buildings dating between 1670 and 1907. The landmark Kruser-Finley House in Historic Richmond Town was badly damaged in an arson blaze last August.
Snug Harbor Cultural Center, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Livingston. Founded in 1831, this was a home for retired seamen until it was taken over by the city in 1977. Now an 83-acre arts complex, the buildings represent some of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the country.

Deborah seemed destined for unremarkable existence in the far reaches of Car Nicobar, till the tsunami happened and she ended up finding her calling in cycling. This is her story.
On the face of it Deborah is like any other teenager - bubbly and reserved at the same time - but seat her on a bicycle and there is an instant transformation. Out comes the fierce determination to beat all odds with no fear of the unknown.
The 18-year-old from Car Nicobar has overcome tremendous adversities in her short life to usher India's finest medal haul at the recent Junior Asian Cycling Championships with one silver and two bronze in the track races. What is more amazing is that this is her first international tournament, which came immediately after her first ever National camp in New Delhi.
Cycling was far from her mind nine years ago when a devastating tsunami hit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 2004. "My mother was in the church praying while I was at home with my father, brother and sister when there was the earthquake followed by the tsunami. We didn't really understand what was going on at that time. As everyone was running into the forest, we did the same. For the next five days we stayed inside the jungle, sometimes clinging on to trees before the rescue team arrived, " Deborah says, recalling the toughest time in her life.
There is a hint of a grin on her face as she narrates the incident, which probably shows that life post that tsunami has taught her to take things in her stride. She counts it as a blessing. "I wasn't always into cycling. I took part in a lot of athletics, especially long jump events, in school as well as the national level. Cycling happened accidently. I took part in a cycle event in Andaman and went on to win a medal. The coaches at the Andaman SAI centre were so impressed by my performance that they convinced me to stick to the sport and train there, " Deborah, the eldest of three siblings, says.
Her father has a modest job in the Indian Air Force and is based out of Car Nicobar Air Base. As Deborah moved to Andaman, she hardly got to spend time with her family. "It is not easy commuting between Andaman and Car Nicobar. I spend most of my time in the Andaman SAI Centre and go home only for two weeks during the Christmas holidays, " she says.
She hit the limelight after clinching her first track gold in the Amritsar nationals in January this year. Last year, she won a gold medal at the junior national cycling championships before managing a silver medal in the senior category later.
"Initially it was tough to spend time away from the family. I didn't have friends and communicating with them was also a problem. I used to feel very homesick but since last year some girls from Andaman have come up the ranks and I don't feel so lonely, " Deborah, who won medals in the junior Sprint and Team Sprint and Keirin events, says.
After training in Delhi from August last year, Deborah has earned a well deserved break. "I'll be going back home to see my family. They are really excited about my performance in these championship, " she says.
Even her seniors are in awe of her determination. "She has more endurance and stamina than the senior boys of the team. In the national camp, Deborah climbed the ropes thrice while the other riders, including boys struggled after climbing even once, " her teammate and fellow silver medallist T Manorama Devi says.
In fact, Deborah wasn't done after her splendid showing in the track events. "I wanted to compete in the Road Races as well but the coaches felt that it would put too much strain on my body. I wanted to try what it felt like, " Deborah says with a big smile on her face.
Ask her about her cycling heroes and Deborah is lost for words. "I think it helped that I had not heard about any of the top cyclists in this tournament. I went into the Championships with a clear head and wasn't in awe of anyone. I wasn't scared at any point, just excited, " she says.
The Cycling Federation of India (CFI) has now been forced to sit up and take note of the juniors' performance and is now keen to develop it keeping in mind the 2016 Rio Olympics. "We have proposed that some of the juniors, including Deborah, should be sent to the UCI Academy in Switzerland for training. It costs about 4, 000 Swiss Francs a month and we have sent a letter to the sports ministry and SAI in this regard. Their phenomenal showing in this Championship should convince the authorities to help us out, " reveals a CFI official.
In fact, CFI secretary general Onkar Singh believes Deborah has the potential to be the face of Indian cycling in the near future. "If she is provided the right opportunities to prosper, Deborah can potentially achieve what Saina Nehwal has done for Indian badminton, " Onkar says.
The main sponsor of the Asian Cycling Championships - Hero - came up to Deborah and offered to give her the bike of her choice. "The sponsors asked me which bike I liked best. They have promised to build me one according to the specifications of my choice, " she says with a hint of excitement in her voice.
India's former foreign coach Graham Seers of Australia is happy to see the progress of the juniors since the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games. "The fighting between two bodies claiming to be the official cycling federation didn't help India's chances. The Asian Championships here have proven that Indian juniors have the natural talent to succeed. All they need is for the federation to back them.
"Before the CWG, there was hardly any national competition for the cyclists. In fact, I had to organise competitions at the national camps to keep them on their toes. Malaysia currently has six to seven different national cycling events apart from international tournaments. Deborah looks to be on the right path for the Olympics but she needs the right guidance from here on, " Seers, who is now Malaysia's national cycling coach, says.
So far, the exuberance of youth has carried Deborah from faraway Andamans to New Delhi. How much further she can go will be determined by how her talent is polished.

Death of Margaret Thatcher Reopens the Debate Over Her Cruel Legacy
ireland / britain | the left | non-anarchist press Monday April 15, 2013 23:45 by Roger Annis
The death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on April 8 has renewed an intense political debate in Britain and internationally over her legacy. For her ruling class sycophants, Thatcher was a heroine, one of the greatest prime ministers Britain ever had. While she is falsely credited with lifting Britain out of a lasting economic slump during the 1970s, she did succeed in imposing a drastic and lasting shift in the balance of social and economic wealth between rich and poor, very much to the detriment of the latter. She was prime minister from 1979 to 1990.
Thatcher imposed pro-capitalist mantras such as slashing the social wage to achieve balanced government budgets, privatization of the delivery of public services and relaxing the regulation of stock markets. She privatized public housing on a vast scale and promoted the virtues of individual home ownership and patriotic war.

Hundred thousand demonstrate against the four year plan in Ireland 03:37 Tue 30 Nov 0 comments
Despite freezing temperatures, an estimated one hundred thousand people were on the streets of Dublin today to take part in the ICTU demonstration against the draconian four year plan, which is raising taxes on low paid workers, slashing wages, social services and cutting social welfare. The WSM took part in the demonstration with the 1% Network, highlighting the wealthy 1% of the population who own 34% of the wealth, and pointing out that only a general strike can force them to back down from making us pay the full costs of the crisis.
Marching on the richest 1% in Dublin 23:33 Fri 15 Oct 0 comments
Along with other left groups the Workers Solidarity Movement has launched the 1% Network in Dublin which held its first succesful event last Saturday, a walking tour through one of the richest bits of the city. Because Ireland was so globalised internationally and so dependant on a property boom domestically the crisis is deeper here than almost anywhere else in the world. Savage cuts have been imposed on workers and the unemployed with more to come as the cost of the bank bailout exceeds 50 billion, an immense figure for a population just over 4 million. The 1% Network aims to shift the conversation away from 'everyone's to blame to making the richest 1% who benefited the most from the boom carry the costs of the crash.

Anarchist Lens: The Clare Daly Affair Jan 30 2 comments
Clare Dalys was elected to the Dáil in 2011. A founder member of the Socialist Party, Daly was initially hailed as a bright new voice for Irelands parliamentary Left. But in strange and controversial circumstances, Daly left the Socialist Party in 2012 on foot of her defence of fellow TD and tax fraud, Mick Wallace. In this first post from the Anarchist Lens, Dalys about turn is examined from an anarchist point of view.
Beyond the Slogan of a General Strike - Mc Glone wasn't all wrong Nov 27 0 comments
The numbers at Saturdays anti-austerity march were impressive given the relatively low key build up, but what was more impressive was the militant mood of the protesters. This was exemplified by the booing and heckling of ICTU president Eugene Mc Glone with chants calling for a General Strike. Mc Glone, in the style of a seasoned professional union official managed to pick himself up and give a speech which though cynical in delivery, bore more than a grain of truth that the radical left should not dismiss out of hand.
In Ireland Majority refuse to choose flavour of austerity in referendum - Jun 01 0 comments
With votes still being counted in the referendum in Ireland it has become clear that the largest block of potential voters refused to take part in the fiscal compact referendum, rejecting the arguments that they could either vote for 'stability' or against 'austerity'. Quite possibly more people chose to boycott the referendum then the combined Yes and No voters. On top of this some 17% of the population who live and pay tax in Ireland were excluded from voting at all in the referendum. This means as many as 2/3 of the adult population did not vote in the referendum. [Italiano]
The Coming Attacks on Irish workers Jul 07 0 comments
After the hyperbole of the election campaign, we have started to realise that rumours of a new day in Irish politics were greatly exaggerated. Somewhat deflated, we now sink back into the same old crisis. While the limited exposures of the Moriarty tribunal [ed: a public inquiry into political corruption in Ireland] have shown us how politics works for the rich, we are about to learn exactly how it works for the rest of us.

A. Rest (University of Washington)
The MACHO collaboration has reported a microlensing event rate towards the LMC that exceeds that expected from known visible components of our Galaxy. Possible explanations include (1) the existence of a population of massive Galactic compact halo objects, (2) disk-bar or bar-bar self-lensing of the LMC, (3) an intervening dwarf galaxy or tidal tails, or (4) lensing by a previously undetected thick disk component of the Milky Way. The Supermacho project, a next generation microlensing search towards the LMC, aims to differentiate between these explanations. We have used the first year of data from the Supermacho project to predict microlensing event rates for the different explanations. We find that this survey will detect enough events to measure the spatial variation in the event rate, which is a more robust discriminator between the various models.
