5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Brotherhood
Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
This is Book 4 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. To get the full impact of the story I highly recommend reading the books in order. Much of the background story is prepared in previous books and to fully enjoy them you just need to know what happened before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Butch Bites Back
Lover Revealed - J R Ward
Butch O'Neal was just an ordinary cop until, entirely by chance, he got drawn into the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Yet, whilst partly replacing the family that had treated him as an outcast after his teen-aged sister was murdered and he was the last one to see her alive, he still feels very much on the outside, with no real purpose and...

Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
This is Book 4 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. To get the full impact of the story I highly recommend reading the books in order. Much of the background story is prepared in previous books and to fully enjoy them you just need to know what happened before.
The books are fun and innovative. The dialogue is modern and the warriors are to die for. The series is quite violent and edgy but you get very nice romantic elements that will make you smile and cry.
The only thing I found a bit off-putting at first was that the book begins with a glossary. J.R Ward creates a certain amount of vocabulary that the vampires use but you get past that because the characters are great. I thought it was brilliant that the author obviously spend a good bit of time creating this world, the politics, the rules, and how people have to live their lives. I felt really sorry for the Marissa, the heroine of this story. Even though she is from the upper class she really doesn't have any rights and basically has to comply with what her brother wants, as her parents are dead. It is nice to get such a rich world to read about and moan about the injustices.
The Black Dagger Brotherhood are six vampire warriors who protect their race form a evil called The Omega and his disciples, The Lesser. The Omega wants to destroy all vampires and uses any force necessary.
In Lover Revealed the story concentrates on an ally of the Brotherhood. Butch O'Neal, who is an ex-cop and the only human ever, allowed within the Brotherhood without being an actual member. He is madly in love with the vampire Marissa but thinks she is out of his league. When he saves a vampire from the Lesser he get captured by them and tortured badly. Now only Marissa and Vishous(one of the brothers) can save him but it might just be too late.
I loved the book and can't wait to read more. It truly is a great series and the characters and story really grip you. Definitely five out of five stars.
Books in order:
1. Dark Lover
2. Lover Eternal
3. Lover Awakened
4. Lover Revealed
5. Lover Unbound

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!,
Imani "Faith" (Bedfordshire) - See all my reviews
I've read Sherilyn Kenyon, Angela Knight, Christine Feehan, Kresley Cole and Lynn Viehl, and NONE of them touch the sides in comparison to J R Ward. Feehan is close but Ward pushes all the right buttons as far as I'm concerned.
I've read all the Brotherhood series and this, without a doubt, is the best one. Only by a very slim margin, because they're all good. I admit the language of the books takes a little getting used to, because of all the street talk, hip-hoppy, urbanness of the books - a woman trying to talk like a streetwise man - but once I got into the characters, I just had to have more. I've read all of them twice at least twice...
We met Butch, our lead character, in Dark Lover, the first of the series, when he first becomes involved with the Brothers and we see his relationship with the female vampire, Marissa, develop throughout. There's lots of miscommunication, things not said, things that should have been said - and all the usual suspects but, I felt for him when he felt Marissa was lost to him. I felt his pain, his frustration, his anger, his passion. Much credit to Ward for evoking these emotions in me. There's also the relationship he has with Vishous, a Brother and his best friend. It's odd but it's so not. You'll have to read it to know what I mean. And I loved the twist ending. I thought I knew what it was, but I was so wrong.
I have to say that the love scenes in this book, as in all the series, are some of the best I've EVER read. Probably THE best! From total tenderness to mad lust, it was amazing. Now THAT'S how to write a love scene! J R, you go, girl!
If you like a down to earthiness about your Vamp novels, then there's nothing left for me to say but to "buy, buy, buy!" Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars This series just gets better!,
Krystyna Young "Wannabe shellan" (Glasgow ,Scotland) - See all my reviews
This story of Butch and Marissa(and V)was worthy of the slow buid up in previous books.The love between Butch and Marissa has been tantalisingly mentioned in the three previous stories making the reader desperate to know their fate....and it does not disappoint!This is really a love story between three people as the relationship between Butch and Vishous is also an integral part of Butch's journey to finally find the inner peace that always eluded him in his previous life. The strong bond between the two males is beautifully interwoven into this tale of love and redemption. The development of Marissa's character from shy sheltered timid female to a strong independent woman is superbly crafted to keep pace with the changes in Butch. This book also keeps the reader abreast of other events within the Brotherhood further developing all the characters and ensuring the cohesion of the series is maintained.
Read this book in a day and have already pre-ordered the next one... Vishous my man can't wait to hear your tale you feel me?

4.0 out of 5 stars A great adventure, but a so-so romance.,
Tough ex-cop Butch, now a well-liked, well-dressed but virtually useless human pet of vampire warriors the Black Dagger Brotherhood, yearns after gentle vamp aristocrat Marissa. He's convinced his love is hopeless and she can't quite believe anyone would want her after 300 years of rejection by her ex-mate.
It's a good setup, with two well-suited characters who both need to find a purpose and to figure out who they are. But... there's a lot of plot to be worked out in this fourth instalment of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The romance suffers in consequence, fragmented between junior vamp John's schooling, the enemy Fore Lesser's plans, the usual bouts of Lesser-bashing, scenes at the nightclub and the whole what's-up-with-Vishous issue. The star-crossed lovers get it on and break it off more times than I could keep track of, for reasons that sometimes eluded me, and the emotional tension of their relationship threatens to wear thin as a result. I really liked Butch in Dark Lover, the first book of the series, but he's become a little too helpless here for my liking. He does have plenty of obstacles to work through before he gets the girl, and all this is well-handled and will keep you glued to the page. Meanwhile Marissa changes perhaps a little too easily from a cringing Barbie doll to an empowered woman with a socially crusading purpose.
The style is gritty and urban as in JR Ward's earlier books, though the prose sometimes droops under the weight of designer labels (I swear Grey Goose vodka is mentioned on every page!), and I had to resort to Urban Dictionary for one or two of the acronyms. All in all, gripping stuff, but still I feel a bit short-changed by the romance.
Next up is Vishous's story - at last, a relatively self-contained romance where (judging by the excerpt at the back of this book) the heroine doesn't feature in a previous book.

5.0 out of 5 stars lover revealed,
S. Keane (Republic of Ireland) - See all my reviews
lover revealed is the story of butch and marissa who we have met in the three previous books.the relationship grows slowly between butch and marissa with marissa starting to embrace living in the 21st century and becoming independant of her brother.
butch finds he has a place in the brotherhood other than pampered pet when we discover he and vishous were destined to meet.
the love story of butch and marissa is very tender but what pulled at my heart strings was the friendship between butch and vishous.
j.r. ward has once again written a great book that i would recommend thoroughly!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love J.R.,
Kos "kos" (ireland) - See all my reviews
I love this series of books but didn't enjoy Lover Revealed as much as the others.I was gonna give it 3 stars but I really enjoy the way these books are written so I gave it 4. Lover Awakened is my favourite to date. Butch is a great character but his relationship with Marissa is a bit insipid and doesn't have the same chemistry as the other couples J.R has created. I thought Marissa was a bit of a drip. I prefer more assertive female characters like, Bella from Lover Awakened or Beth from Dark Lover.
There were some definite sexual undertones between Butch and Vishous and I was beginning to think that Vishous might be gay or at the least bisexual. But it turns out it was just a little brotherly love. As with all the others I can't wait for the next book, Lover Unbound. Its time for Vishous to find his mate. Maybe he'll give Marissa something to worry about ! Only kidding. I hope J.R gets around to writing Phury's story soon. That will definitely be one to look forwafd to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Butch Bites Back,
Lover Revealed - J R Ward
Butch O'Neal was just an ordinary cop until, entirely by chance, he got drawn into the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Yet, whilst partly replacing the family that had treated him as an outcast after his teen-aged sister was murdered and he was the last one to see her alive, he still feels very much on the outside, with no real purpose and very few possessions. Apparently spurned by Marissa, one of the vampire elite and the woman he lusts after, he starts to believe that the best thing to do would be to disappear and start afresh, but all that changes when he defends one of the civilian vampires and is taken prisoner by The Society of Lessers and tortured to the point of death to reveal all he knows about the Brotherhood. Mortally wounded and infected by some dreadful darkness, it seems that he must die, but there are two people who are determined he should live and face a future he could never have imagined was there for him.
Probably my favourite of the BDB books so far, with a good story that reveals more about the fight between the vampires and the Lessers. There's a fair bit of sex, and if you don't like such scenes in books, then the BDB is perhaps not for you, but I don't find it too overpowering and to me it's made up for by the interesting notion of this vampire nation fighting for survival.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Vamp Series Ever!!!!,
Susiewop "Susiewop" (Essex) - See all my reviews
WOW! I have read all of the Black Dagger books and this is by far my favourite. I am totally in love with Butch, the poor guy goes through so much in this book but the outcome is so satisfying. His love for Marissa is absolutely beautiful too.
If you love vamp action, romance and very rounded characters, you must read this series. Ward writes so well that you feel as if you know each character and feel so gutted when a book finishes. If after reading you want more go to J R Ward's website, there's some great scenes of everyday life with the Brothers.
I can't wait for V's story which is out in October when hopefully we'll find out what's happened to Thorment - I don't think it'll be good for the Brothers. Roll on October!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful instalment in this great series,
Sarah Carter "SJ" (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
I was looking for something to fill in the time between Laurell K Hamilton's and Sherilyn Kenyon's efforts and boy I wasn't disappointed when I stumbled upon this wonderful series by J R Ward.
This is the fourth book in the series and I think that they are actually getting better!! I love all the characters that she has going on and yet I still feel that we hear enough about the main love story to feel that it is Butch and Marissa's book. In many romance books the 'extra' characters muddy the waters but here they just add to them and I find myself hoping that strong women will be found for Rehvenge and Tehrror (when he morphs into a seven foot hunk!).
I have already pre ordered Viscious's story as he has been one of my favourites for a while and am already looking forward to October!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another triumph,
book junkie (northern ireland) - See all my reviews
I just couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I was in the annoying position of ordering and reading the previous three books one after the other and not having to wait for each book to be published. The wait for Lover Revealed was a long one, but well worth it. After the first glorious installment, I panicked in case the next book wasn't as good as the previous. This time was no exception. I got my book on Friday afternoon when I came home from work and I was finished for Saturday morning. I just couldn't leave it down. Another fantastic piece of work that leaves you wanting more.
The Brotherhood has captured my imagination and I wait patiently for the next installment. Read the book to make your own mind up, I will not give away the plot to ruin it for you. Believe me when I say it's another gripping book. It's just a pity I can't give it more than five stars.
Congratulations to Ms Ward and thanks for sharing the stories of all the awesome characters.

Blog Entry
Memphis wounded heading into exhibition
Posted on: November 4, 2008 12:46 pm
Edited on: November 4, 2008 12:49 pm
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- I walked into the Finch center Monday, told John Calipari I was there to see his team.
"You won't see much," Calipari said.
And then the wounded began to take their positions.
There was Antonio Anderson, hanging out under a basket, a device attached to his lower leg designed to help with shin splints. To his left was Tyreke Evans and Angel Garcia, both on the sideline watching, Evans with a sprained ankle, Garcia with a sprained knee. And then there was C.J. Henry still recovering from a broken foot.
Combined, that's two starters (Anderson and Evans) and two key reserves (Garcia and Henry) that the Tigers won't have Tuesday night when they play Christian Brothers University in an exhibition. So yeah, Calipari is frustrated because it was going to be hard enough to replace Derrick Rose, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Joey Dorsey even if everything went perfectly. But anybody waiting for the world-is-out-to-get-us quote from Calipari will have to keep waiting because the man who has managed to again sell every season ticket in the 18,000-seat FedExForum isn't openly complaining or feeling sorry for himself.
"I'm not saying anything because we had none last year," Calipari said. "Stuff happens."
Indeed, Rose, Douglas-Roberts and Anderson each played all 40 games last season, and Dorsey played the final 38. Robert Dozier only missed three games (two early because of a small injury, one later for discipline), meaning the usual starters who led Memphis to a 38-2 record combined to play 195 of a possible 200 games.
"We went through a whole season with a couple of nicks, bumps and that's it," Calipari said. "So this happens."
The healing process looks like this: Anderson should return to practice late this week, Evans could be back by the Nov. 15 opener against Fairfield and Garcia and Henry are both probably out until mid-December. The Tigers' first real test will come either Nov. 17 against UMass or Nov. 21 in a likely game with Southern California in Puerto Rico.

9.1 Grouping of digits in a telephone number should be accomplished by means of spacesposted by nicwolff at 9:36 AM on August 8, 2007
unless an agreed upon explicit symbol (e.g. hyphen) is necessary for procedural purposes. Only
spaces should be used in an international number.
7.2 Use of parenthesesTo the extent that the standard recommends use of parentheses for the general case, I suggest that it is because the standard is anticipating that for most people area codes are not always dialed. Since the standard is a bit out of date, falling back to the first principal, as detailed in the standard itself, seems appropriate.
The symbol ( ) (parentheses) should be used to indicate that the digits within the ( ) are not always

Converse, Don't Complain
by Hiroshi Mikitani, CEO, Rakuten Inc., from LinkedIn
Sometime today, you may take a break from your work and walk around the office. Perhaps you will talk to a colleague. What will you say? Will you complain about the boss? About the workload? About the weather?
That is common. But it's not helpful. If you work in a big company, chances are this kind of complaining is what usually goes on in the hallways. But if you look at small companies – at venture start-ups – there is a different buzz in the halls. That's the sound of conversation.
The best part about being an up-and-coming company was always having someone to play verbal "catch" with. Starting a company is an experiment of trial and error, and when something happens you always end up discussing it with those around you. When Rakuten was in its early stages, there were not many employees, and the office was small. It was as if we were playing verbal "catch" 24 hours a day, all year long. It is no exaggeration to say that Rakuten today was born out of the conversations of that period.
In bigger companies, that natural ongoing conversation may fall off. When that happens, the company loses a critical tool.
In the same way that pro baseball players use a game of catch to warm up and check their form, you can use conversation to verify whether your own way of thinking and judgment are correct or not.
Try raising an issue – "throwing a ball around" – with those nearest to you. People are strange creatures. In most instances, if you throw a ball to someone, they will throw it back. And from there you can start playing catch. This is much more constructive than just approaching other people to complain about your boss or coworkers, or to gossip. And more than just helping you to find a good conversation partner, it is fun.

Helping others is what we're all about
If you know anything at all about DollarDays, then you know we always like to help others in need. And we love to hear about others doing the same and thought we'd share a story of a customer who is devoted to helping others.
Pinelake Church, with several locations in Mississippi, is helping people in Punjab, India who are in need. Teams from Pinelake Church travel to India and offer a Compassion Kit that is a good-sized box filled with practical living items like soap, toothpaste, t-shirts and other basic items. The Kit is a gift that also shares the story of Jesus and gives the opportunity for a person to begin their own story of knowing Jesus.
DollarDays feels fortunate to be Pinelake Church's wholesale connection for the contents of the Compassion Kits. It's projects like these that make us feel like we are making a difference too.
Keep up the good work, Pinelake Church!

Should You Open Your Own Online Store?
By Marc Joseph
The economic recovery for most is much slower than the news would lead you to believe. Many people ask themselves, "How can I supplement my income so I can provide more for my family?" The perceived hot trend to accomplish this goal is doing business on the Internet—but it is not as easy as it looks. Before you go off and open an online store, you need to fully understand what online stores are all about.
Online stores are not much different than physical stores except you don't have to worry about paying the rent or having a lot of money tied up in inventory. In online stores you still need to present the right product at the right time at the right price. You still need to be very clear about what you are selling and project stellar customer service.
The first obstacle to overcome is deciding what to sell. It is always much easier and much more fun to sell something you have a passion for. That way the long hours you spend with your online store become more engaging and less work. Many products are more conducive to selling online, such as jewelry, clothing or school supplies, while other products are more difficult to sell when they can't be seen in person, such as refrigerators or leather sofas. So, the questions you need to ask yourself about what to sell in your online store include:
- Can I sell a digital product that can be sent right over the Internet (like an e-book) or should I sell a physical product that needs to be shipped?
- Will you specialize in one category of goods like pets or party supplies or will you offer a wide selection of products?
- Do you have to house inventory or can you find a company to drop ship for you?
- Will you be creating your own product to sell? If so, are you going to make it yourself or do you need to form a relationship with a vendor who will manufacture it for you?
- How are you going to ship your product? From your home, a storage facility or drop shipper from a third party warehouse?
The second obstacle to overcome is finding the customer niche who will buy from you. You need to list what differentiates your site from all the other similar sites (and don't kid yourself, they are out there) found online. So, to find the right niche:
- Study the competition and if you can't beat them with product or price or customer service, find another niche. Go to the main marketplaces like Amazon, Wal-Mart, Sears, Rakuten, Tiger Direct or Newegg to see who is already selling and make sure you can do it better or faster or cheaper
- Become the expert on what you sell. Show your passion for your products through original content that differentiates you from others. The more originality you add to the site, the more you stand out
- Make sure it is easy to purchase from your site. Even if the products are similar to other sites online, you will set your site apart by making shopping easy. The quicker you can get customers from liking the products to finalizing the sale, the more you will stand out from all the competition
There are plenty of places on the Internet that can help you open up your dream store. Yahoo stores, Go Daddy, Volusion, Big Commerce, Doba, 1&1, Web.com and a whole slew of other sites can be your partner. "Build it and they will come" sounds good in movies, but it does not work the same with online stores. Marketing your site with search engine optimization, paid search, emails, affiliates, etc., will be the topic of another article.
At DollarDays.com, we have partnered with Lucrazon to offer an easy and fast way to get a site up and running. There are several website templates to choose from and you can sell as many products as you like. In fact, the DollarDays products are already uploaded to your site, so you can decide if you want to sell them all or just a few departments. There is no limit to the amount of pages you can create and the site is integrated into a shopping cart so you can begin selling in less than an hour.
We come back to the original question of should you open your own online store. It is inexpensive to get started if you find the right store-building partner and the right drop shipper of products for you. It can become a black hole if you start to throw money at every marketing scheme that comes along. So like any business, it takes time to build. If you are an entrepreneur, an optimist and a hard worker, then you should be in the online store business. If you believe that if you pay for a site and all you have to do is sit back and watch for an income stream, then the online store is not for you. The Internet is still the Wild West. Learn how to do guerilla marketing on the Internet with your online store, show your customers you are passionate about what you sell and this could be a fun way to make a living.

Back to School: It's Make It or Break It Time for the Economy
by Marc Joseph (reprinted from August 1, 2013 Huffington Post)
Spending this fall for students K-12 is expected to drop 12 percent, according to a National Retail Federation survey reported in the Wall Street Journal. The average that will be spent on each kid is $634.78, down from $688.62 in 2012. Even those going to college are expecting decreases from $836.80 this year, down from $907.22 last year. So it looks like the payroll tax hike, the sequestration and the continued sluggish job market are finally going to rear their ugly heads during the first major sales season of the year. This is troublesome news for retailers because the back to school (BTS) season is like the canary in the coal mine; BTS sales trends historically predict how the holiday fourth quarter sales will turn out. And in another BTS warning about the economy, 47.7 percent of college students expect to live at home, up from 42.9 percent in 2012.
These depressing numbers tell us that the American family has begun to focus on the needs of their children for BTS rather than the wants of their kids. If working Americans are having trouble getting their kids ready for BTS, what about the children in families stuck in poverty or not working at all? According to The Hechinger Report, poverty is getting so concentrated in America that one out of five public schools is classified as a "high poverty" school by the US Department of Education. To be classified as high poverty, 75 percent of an elementary, middle or high school students must qualify for a free or reduced price lunch.
Moyers & Co. reports that U.S. poverty (fewer than $17,916 for a family of 3) affects 46.2 million people, up 15.1 percent. The 16.1 million children in poverty are 22% of all children, including 39 percent of African-American and 34 percent of Latino kids. Deep poverty (fewer than $11,510 for a family of 4) hits 20.4 million people, which represents 1 in 15 Americans. On top of all this, we have 1,065,794 homeless students enrolled in U.S. preschools and K-12 schools and we know that only 48 percent of poor children are ready for school by the age of 5, compared to 75 percent of children from moderate and high income families.
So we have parents who are going to be spending less on their children for BTS. And we have poverty creating a major burden for schools to figure out how to deal with accommodating these kids' needs. This is a bleak time for not only our economy, but to the answer of how we cope with an all-inclusive society so that no child is left behind.
Some organizations are rising to the occasion with drives to provide the underprivileged with what they need to go back to school with dignity with staples like backpacks, school supplies and clothes. Fox News reported in St. Louis that the National Council of Jewish Women brought a Back to School store to 1,200 children in need where they could just pick out what they needed for school. The Broomfield Enterprise in Colorado reports the organization "Crayons to Calculators" hopes to provide 9,000 students with new backpacks full of supplies. The City Wire in Arkansas reports on the "Stuff the Bus" campaign supported by the United Way where bright yellow buses will be scattered throughout Fort Smith, AR to collect school supplies for children in need. This is the ninth year of Stuff the Bus. We can all help online at Operation Backpack, where they are gathering backpacks for the New York City children in need (collected 13,500 in 2012). At DollarDays on our Facebook page, we are giving away $2,500 in products to a back to school drive that is nominated, so submit your favorite.
We have been putting up with this recession since late 2007. It has been close to six years where the poor are getting poorer, the needy are getting needier and now it looks like our school children will be getting less. Spending less for BTS is a major blow to our economy and when word of this decrease becomes widespread, it will be a major blow to the American psyche. As Americans, we have to do what we can do to ensure the long-term survival of our educational system, because all these kids, rich and poor, are our future. Dig deep into your pockets and help out your local backpack drive by donating backpacks, school supplies or cash so they can buy what is needed for the underprivileged. If you are a parent or grandparent, spend a little more on your kids for BTS so we can prove the predictions wrong. If this BTS season is truly less than last year, then we are in for a long, cold fall and winter retail season which will keep us in this recession for another year.

5 Ways to Help Teachers and Students Beat Sequestration
"Here we are at the end of another school year, and once again, teachers throughout the US are facing uncertainty," said Marc Joseph, Founder and CEO of DollarDays. "Will they have a job next school year, and if so, will their classrooms balloon to unmanageable sizes? Congress has not acted and now the impact of sequestration on federal educational programs is becoming a frightening reality."
DollarDays, America's premier online wholesaler, works closely with teachers and school administrators across the country, supplying the tools and supplies needed most in public education. We hear the horror stories of budget and personnel cuts from our customers in primary and secondary education throughout the year and the thought of deeper education cuts does not look good for our kids or our teachers.
Who are the biggest victims of the education sequester?
• Special needs kids and Head Start (the pre-school program for disadvantaged kids)
• Poor kids and Title 1 (federal support for low income school districts)
What are the consequences of education cuts?
• Special needs kids may not get the therapy they need
• School districts may become reluctant to classify kids with disabilities because of the cuts to this program
• Art and music programs may be reduced or cut to help the budget gap
Five ways Americans can help our teachers and students now:
1. Communicate with your representatives in the House and in the Senate.
2. Donate to National Teachers Assistance Organization for professional assistance for teachers.
3. At Donors Choose, public school teachers post classroom project requests and you can donate to the project that most inspires you.
4. At Start Donating, they match donors with teachers in need of supplies.
5. And at DollarDays on our Facebook page, we are giving away $5,000 worth of products in May to help teachers across this great country; so please nominate your favorite teacher who deserves your help.
People become teachers because they want to help others and they want to make a difference. Our teachers need to focus on their passion, instead of worrying about if they will lose their jobs because our political leaders could not act to protect the educational system, which has been the backbone of our society. Let's hope our leaders come to their senses before it is too late for our kids, and in the long run, the future of this country.
"It may seem like contacting a senator or donating supplies couldn't possibly make a difference, but collectively, we can make a difference—a difference that will help our teachers, our kids and our country. Be sure to visit DollarDays.com and nominate your favorite teacher to win in our $5,000 school supplies giveaway—eighteen teachers will be randomly selected to win," said Marc Joseph.

Passover Menu: 11 Recipes to Try This Year
Deeply rooted in history, Passover is a holiday rich in traditions, food included. You may have recipes that have been handed down through the generations of your family — it just wouldn't be Passover without them at the table. But every now and then, you may want a new take on an old classic, or you might need to find a way around an allergy. Whether your menu is comprised of traditional brisket or food allergy-friendly fare, we've rounded up 11 recipes to help you start planning Passover meals.
1. Matzo ball soup
For a quick and easy matzo ball soup, turn to this recipe, from Aviva Goldfarb on PBS. It has a serving size of two cups and makes eight servings.
- 1 package (4.5 ounces) matzo ball mix (sold in supermarkets with kosher foods)
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 64 ounces reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Directions: Prepare the matzo ball mix according to the package directions. (For most packages, mix the matzo meal with 4 beaten eggs and ½ cup oil, stir, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Do not over-mix.)
Set a large pot of water to boil. Once it boils, add salt to the boiling water. Using wet hands, gently form the matzo ball mixture into 1-inch balls and carefully drop them into the water. Cover the pot and cook them for 30 minutes (reduce heat if necessary, to keep it at a low boil).
After adding the matzo balls to the boiling water, bring the broth to a boil in a separate large pot. Add the carrots and celery and simmer for 15 minutes. When the matzo balls are cooked, using a slotted spoon, carefully remove them from the salted water and add them to the pot with the vegetables. (At this point you can serve the soup immediately or refrigerate it for up to three days). Add the dill and black pepper and serve hot, making sure to put a matzo ball and some vegetables into each bowl.

Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez has destroyed anything standing in his way this season.
At just 22 years old, what Fernandez has done during his rookie year is nothing short of historic.
Owner of a paltry 2.23 ERA, the Cuban native should have no problem being an annual selection at the Major League All-Star game. Though, he may be lacking friends when he attends.
Despite his all-world ability, Fernandez isn't exactly shy when it comes to hiding it, at least not on the field. He showed that this evening, not on the mound but at the plate when he clobbered a monster home run over the right center field wall and had no problems taking a fifteen minute pimp stroll in the process.
It was a bit too long for the opposing Atlanta Braves, who weren't overly thrilled with Fernandez's gawking. Taking offense to the rookies 'trot', the Braves (namely Brian McCann, who said something to Fernandez when he touched home plate) cleared the bench though order was quickly restored without further incident.
Tonight could possibly be the final start of the season for Fernandez as the Marlins don't want to overwork their young ace, but if it is, he certainly went out with a boom – literally.

Even as a non-Muslim, I love Ramadan, and as I've been celebrating it with Shan for the last five years I'm starting to feel that it's my tradition as well. I feel that believers and non-believers alike can appreciate the sentiment of the holy month: to reflect, to be thankful, to avoid negativity. I enjoy the peaceful days and the fun evenings with friends. During this month the evening meal, Iftar, is kind of a big deal, so all month I am cooking exclusively Pakistani.
The meal: It is traditional to open the fast with a date as did the prophet (Shan is very picky and does not like dates, and so opens with salt, also acceptable). Then we have pakoras, which are potatoes or other vegetables battered in besam (chickpea flour) and fried, and watermelon. We have delicious sweet drinks like Rooh Afza or some concoction of peaches, Fanta and milk that our friend Mansoor has been mixing up. Then round two – whatever entree we've got going – and finishing up with milk tea.
I have a handful of Pakistani dishes already in my repertoire, but ventured to KhanaPakana.com to learn something new. They have lots of recipes in English, so I chose Balti Zafrani Chicken.
This is a spiced, rich and stewy chicken dish. It had me at Zafrani – saffron – which I love although I don't cook with it often ($$$). "Balti" means bucket, and refers to the type of pot that this dish is traditionally cooked in. It's apparently quite popular in the UK although I have not heard of it here in the US, but Shan and Mansoor seemed to know what it was so I took that as a sign.
I'll go ahead and rewrite the recipe since I have a couple of different "western" techniques – I don't know that they are western in particular, but just things I like to do differently. Namely, I salt the onions in the beginning so they sweat as well as adding salt later if I need to (but probably less in the end than your average Pakistani, at least the ones I know). I realize the onions brown better if you don't salt them, but they also take longer, and I've never really noticed much of a difference so really I think you can do whichever you prefer. Also, instead of paste I like to use fresh garlic and ginger, and add the garlic at the same time as the onions so it can cook. Finally, none of the recipes I've seen have put an emphasis on browning the meat, but I think by carmelizing it a bit you really get a better flavor than by essentially just boiling the meat.
Recipe: Balti Zafrani Chicken
2 tbsp butter
1/4 c oil – by this point you realize this is not diet food
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
One whole chicken, cut into 1-2 inch pieces – the original recipes calls for one lb of boneless cubes, but we usually get the bone-in variety and this is fine
One inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper – add more to taste
2 tbsp ground almonds – what a lovely way to thicken the sauce!
3/4 c yogurt
1/2 tsp saffron threads, crumbled
1/2 tsp allspice – a nice alternative to cinnamon!
2 tbsp cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
On high heat, melt the butter in the oil, and fry the onion until translucent and starting to turn golden brown. When the onion is almost done, toss in the garlic so that it can cook and not burn. Add chicken, ginger, black and red pepper, and fry for 5 minutes or so.
Stir it up, cover, and simmer on medium heat until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally and especially not letting it stick. In the meantime, warm the cream and combine with the saffron and allspice. When the chicken is cooked through (it should be very tender, almost falling off the bone), add the cream mixture and the lemon juice.
Cook a minute longer, garnish with cilantro and serve.
This turned out delicate and fragrant, really delicious. You can serve it with warm naan or as I did with pulao (lightly spiced rice and onions). I roasted some carrots with cumin as well and we had a very nice Iftar.

Hello, I have a question : can I use the plugin "Page flipping book" instead of the big image ? Thank you
I have no experience with this plugin. I recommand to leave the gallery with a simple slider to keep the look & feel of the theme.
Stunning theme! Really enjoying getting it set up. One question, how do I get the portfolio thumbnails to load at same time on homepage? I have a "load more" button on the homepage which allows each items to load but I am missing how to get them to all show at once. Thanks for your help
Do you want to show all portfolio items without load more button? If yes, you need to change the "Count" on "Appearance > Theme Options > Portfolio" to "-1".
Hi, I've just bought this theme and wanted to know where can I find documentation?? thanks!
I have a site that has 288 posts on my current site. Every single post is image based which means it would be perfect for this theme.
Problem is they are all blog posts. Is there any way to move my posts and turn them into pages quickly to replicate what you have done on the home page of this theme?
thank you for your interest. This is currently not possible. I will think about this and it may be in a future update.
Superb theme!
1) http://spab-rice.com/wordpress/mila/blog/#abstract-lines Is there a chance to have an option available to let all photos be displayed underneath instead of that slider?
2) http://spab-rice.com/wordpress/mila/shortcodes/ Does the theme support fullwidth layout as well? Any shortcode for tables includes? Can one adjust the width of the photo aside?
3) Can one switch from content side right/left for every post/porject? Or is this a general working function?
4) Is there a place for widgets?
Thanks in advance.
All the best, OhC
1) I just add this to the "to-do-list" for a future update.
2) Yes fullwidth layout is possible. Background image is always taking half width for now (thinking of adding option to make it 1/3)
3) Left/right is a general option. It will be applied for all kind of posts/project.
4) Widget place is only the bottem left corner (social icons) but I recommand to use simple widgets for this area.
Appreciate your quick response.
I recognize you were bringing your first update out pretty quick. I don't want to get on your nerves, but – what kind of modification would it be to let pictures displayed underneath eachother (and not in a slider)? Or are you currently even working on the nexxt update? Being impressed by your effort.
Cheers, OhC
To display images underneath you simply need to select this option in the Theme options. Same for 1/3 Content. These are all option you only need to select. in the Theme Options.
Next update will come soon.
Will there be a pagination option for portfolio gallery posts, containing multiple images? For example a "1/4" indicator or dots representing individual photos with the shown photo highlighted.. Maybe in future updates of the theme?
thank you for your interest. Unfortunately I didn't understand your suggestion very well.
Sorry, I probably wasn't too clear. Let me demonstrate with a screenshot: http://priv.imagerelated.com/screenshot-mila.jpg
Current image position is possible (bullets). Indicator "1/4" is not possible. The slider uses the flexslider plugin.

this is really nice!! clean. minimal. yet pretty.
does this use Cufon for customizing the headers? that would be great…
great work!
no unfortunately not.
Hi SpabRice, Great looking original theme! A few pre-purchase questions:
1) Is it possible to have the hover state colour be different for each image in the Portfolio? In the demo it's jade green for all.
2) Is it possible to have the image slide show in a post be auto-slide rather than manual click through? Loving the gentle fade effect by the way!
3) Would an ecommerce plugin integrate well with the theme?
Thanks ahead!
thank you for your interest.
1) this is not possible.
2) this is possible by a small change in the javascript.
3) I have no experiences with ecommerce plugins, so I can't give any information about this.
Hi, this theme is so nice n clever, i bought it immediately . Good luck with the sales.
I am not a tech savvy guy and trying to build my own website using this template with the help of your documentation file. However, after testing the demo, i have some queries i'm hoping you could help me with.
1. It doesn't seem to work with internet explorer 9, clicking on the portfolio images doesn't work properly, sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. Could you please check and confirm the same.
2. How can i change the opacity of the hover state effect on teh thumbnails. Also can the color be independent of the color of the header.
3. How can i change the color of the footer to match with the header.
4. After clicking on the portfolio thumbnails the image that opens from the side still has the hover over effect. and when i can click on it, it goes full screen. Unlike in your demo. here is a linkhttp://i47.tinypic.com/23u29z6.jpg
Kindly help out as im very eager to get started with my site .
Thanks n regards.
thank you for purchasing my theme.
1) Its a IE9 bug which i'm trying to fix
2) you can change this in the script.js (mila/files/js) at line 28. No the color will take the main color (thinking of adding an option for this)
3) currently only by cusom css (will add this option for next update)
4) this is a option you can deactivate in the theme option "Fancybox" for blog and portfolio.

Love the design… Great theme!
Is there a way to change the amount of rows/columns in the portfolio overview? What I want to do is have 6 rows of thumbnails, when viewing the site from a 13? screen… So is there a way to change the amount of rows/columns? I see see that the thumbnails automatically change size, when viewing the site from a 27? and makes 7 rows:)
I'm also having issues after clicking on the portfolio thumbnails the image that opens from the side still has the hover over effect. When i click on it, it goes full screen. Unlike in your demo.
thanks for purchasing my theme.
1) this is not possible because of the responsivity of the theme.
2) this is an option you can deactivate in the theme option "Fancybox" for blog and portfolio.
thanks for the help, i have noticed one more thing, on using the Spacing / margins option in theme options,
I adjusted the "menu top" option ,the menu items move but the filter doesnt.Ive attached a screenshot. http://i50.tinypic.com/207rksn.jpg
I need to adjust it, cuz of the shape of my logo. How can i fix this. Thanks.
I just uplaoded an updated version with this fix. It should be available soon.

Is it just me or has there been a lot more mergers or rumored mergers going on in the past year. Makes me wonder if locked in 2 year agreements will be affected or possibly no more 24.99 the 1st year 39.99 the 2nd year on Dish subscription.
With companies sitting on billions in cash, it is burning a hole in their behinds. It is the fastest and easiest way to grow and stay competitive. If merged Dish will probably keep the current agreements, but will likely not keep its name.

Disaster Press Releases
Deadline to Apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans in Virginia is June 21
ATLANTA - The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding businesses in Virginia that working capital loans are still available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and most private non-profit organizations affected by Hurricane Irene that occurred on Aug. 26, 2011.
"Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the June 21, deadline," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) up to $2 million are available at 3 percent for private non-profit organizations of all sizes and 4 percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. To be considered for this assistance, disaster survivors need to apply by the deadline.
These EIDLs are available to small businesses and most private non-profit organizations in the following cities and counties: Charles City, Chesterfield, Colonial Heights City, Dinwiddie, Hanover, Henrico, James City, King and Queen, King William, New Kent, Petersburg City and Prince George in Virginia.
To obtain disaster loan information and application forms, call the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Loan application forms can also be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from the SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
The deadline for economic injury applications is June 21, 2012.

Belfast Long Term Vacation Rentals(18)
18 Results
Recent Belfast Reviews
We had a vacation in Paradise.
I couldn't imagine how we could possibly have had a better time during our stay in Belfast. Jim and Patti were the friendliest owners, and they had lots of helpful advice about places to go. All of their recommendations were right on the money, and the view from that window over the Belfast Bay was priceless. About an hour to Acadia, half that down to Camden, several state parks within easy reach, tons of great places to eat. Belfast people were super friendly and down-to-earth, and the speed of life was just right. The property was comfortable, spotlessly clean and very spacious and well appointed. It was very hard to leave, and we would go back in a heartbeat.
Just right for us!
The house on Harbor Street in Belfast is just right for our family as we are visiting relatives in the area. It is clean and bright. The bathrooms are spacious. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle. We went to the Belfast Farmers Market, the Harbor Walk, Belfast City Park, had lunch at the Weathervane with our relatives, and ice cream at the old fashioned soda shop. It was just what we needed. Thank you, Liz!
Beautiful home and great location!!
We recently spent four days at the Belfast Beach House and was extremely impressed with the beautiful decor and high end furnishings. We have traveled a lot and we all agreed that this home was one of the cleanest we've ever stayed in, everything you could ever need was provided...you can really tell that the owners go above and beyond to ensure their guests enjoy their stay. And, the location can't be beat! The water is "right there" and easily accessible from the house. Our kids (almost 8 year-old boy/girl twins) looooved exploring on the beach and finding tons of crabs, urchins, seashells etc, we came home with lots of treasures that will help us remember our visit. We also really appreciated the owner contacting us upon our arrival, it was nice of him to just check in and see if we had arrived safely or needed anything. If you are reading this review and considering traveling to the Belfast area, we highly recommend this home...you won't be disappointed!!

Editorial: Boring Budgets
August is always an important time of the year – both because school goes back in session and also because the school district, the town and the county all set spending priorities for the next budget year.
Last year, Tunica County put a significant tax increase in place. This year, the school board may ask the county to assess more millage to produce more tax money. And the Town of Tunica continues to look for more ways to tighten its belt.

*As we reported, NeNe and Gregg Leakes got remarried this weekend.
The stars of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" said "I do" once again in a lavish ceremony in Atlanta Saturday.
She told Life & Style, "We couldn't be happier. Marrying my soulmate is the best feeling I've ever had."
The two got divorced in 2011 after being married for 13 years. But it seemed time apart only rekindled their love once they got engaged in January. Now, they've come full circle and are husband and wife once again.
Even with the second time around, Leakes was sure to have a ceremony that was fabulous and diva-like.
The theme of the ceremony was "Old Hollywood," according to Us Magazine. Leakes held the event at the Intercontinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel with about 400 people in attendance.
The guest list included a host of Housewives from many different cities and other reality TV stars. Also attending were Jill Zarin, Gretchen Rossi, Patti Stanger, Omarosa, Slade Smiley, and Marysol Patton. NeNe's bridesmaids included Cynthia Bailey and Marlo Hampton.
The confidentiality agreement that guests were made to sign before joining the ceremony, which prohibited drinking alcohol or using the event for publicity of their own, helped to insure that no one got too out of hand.
Even with her history of flaking, NeNe's former enemy, Kim Zolciak, was expected to be there and surprisingly showed up; which seemed to be the biggest shock of the night. Fortunately, it was all being filmed for the upcoming Bravo series "I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding," so we'll get to see it all for ourselves this fall.
With the long list of divorce stories we find in the news and among media personalities, one might find their reconciliation refreshing. Not only may this lend hope to those who have rekindled love from their past, but it also gives NeNe another stab at the happy ending we're sure she's always wanted.

utf8 encoding: Can I really have it all?
I'm developing my first application that will have some non-English characters and I've been investigating the world of encoding. My accented characters look fine in my web application both before and after putting them in the database, but the actual database characters don't look as they should. On the one hand, I don't see this as a problem (I can only assume that my database understands that it's UTF-8, converts it to latin1, then converts it back to UTF-8 when I call for the data); however, it would be nice if I could have the data appear clean in both place.
After doing do some googling, I found that I can change a table's encoding as:
ALTER TABLE table CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
However, after doing so, I had the opposite problem: manually entering accented characters in the database gave me junk on the screen (php's mb_detect_encoding() showed that my application is in fact using utf8 encoding() for the accented characters).
Any help in getting my characters to look correct in both places would be great.
Thanks so much,

The few fishermen who still ply New England's waters for cod, haddock and other groundfish are bracing for a double dose of bad news this week.
The first arrived Monday when, as anticipated, the U.S. Senate approved a $60 billion Hurricane Sandy disaster relief bill that contained no federal aid for the northeastern groundfishery or several other fisheries that face "economic disasters."
The second wave could arrive Wednesday or Thursday if federal regulators, as expected, slash already reduced catch limits by another 70 percent to 80 percent to protect fish populations that scientists now say are much smaller than previously thought.
