In conclusion, baseball and Ichiro are both great.

I didn't say such a position is inconsistent. I said (or at least implied) that it's inconsistent to be anti-collision and anti-evasion.
I know that. I was just noting where I stood. I do agree that if you oppose the collisions, as I do, then you probably have to allow the runner some other method to get to the base safely.
I'd call him out. Weiters is 6'5", so half his wingspan is almost certainly more than 3', and he's in Ichiro's path before the evasive maneuver.
I don't think his torso is directly in Ichiro's path. He's basically lunging at Ichiro and part of his arm is in Ichiro's path, but I don't think Ichiro moved 3 feet to avoid the tag at that moment.
That is a somewhat different situation, as runners are supposed to avoid contact with a fielder in the act of fielding. If the runner is doing it right, he should already be trying to avoid the fielder before he has the ball, and there is probably wider latitude than 3 feet allowed for this.
To an extent yes, but the point is, at the time the tag was attempted Offerman took a single lateral step to avoid it, which is consistent with the single lateral step Ichiro took. The big difference is the distance remaining to the bases they were trying to reach. Because Ichiro was much closer to his destination at the time of the evasive step (and subsequent steps), he looks far more "out of the baseline" than Offerman ever did.
I agree that no one cares that he ran past the plate. It's the fact that he was clear on the other side of the batter's box when he ran past the plate that demonstrates how far he ran out of the baseline (much more than 3 feet) to avoid the tag.No. That demonstrates how far out of the baseline he was after he avoided the tag.
Here.106. Danny Posted: October 10, 2012 at 08:15 PM (#4262480)
In the top photo, I'm establishing the base path. I'm starting it at this stage because this is when you could argue either Wieters is starting his tag attempt, or Ichiro is starting his avoidance. The middle dotted line is his base path, which I've tried to center under Ichiro's torso - his left foot is on the ground - and end at the back corner of the plate. The other dotted lines are roughly 3 feet to either side. (The total front-to-back length of the batter's box is 5 feet, for reference.)
In the bottom photo, everything is repeated, but the frame is advanced to the point of avoidance of the tag. The yellow line is a straight line from the start of the base path to Ichiro's position at avoidance - not that he ran that way, but that's where he was. In this case I couldn't get the line to fall under his torso due to software limitations; I got it to his instep, which is (a) just a little to the side of the torso center, and (b) irrelevant because his whole right foot is still within 3 feet of the base path. If you measure based on torso he's probably 2 feet off the base path at that point.
Note Wieters' knees aren't even within 3 feet of the base path. It's because Weiters is far enough out of position to make the tag that Ichiro can avoid him with a sub-3-foot maneuver.
Regardless, after this point the tag has been avoided. Ichiro's momentum will bring him past the batter's box, but he is not moving further away to avoid a tag; he's moving further away because he hasn't yet adjusted to the new trajectory he must take to get to the plate. And Wieters isn't continuing the tag; he's lying on the ground after failing to tag. Both he and Ichiro adjust soon enough, and it all plays out somewhat rationally after that.
When Wieters fielded the ball and made the tag attempt, Ichiro took a single step (the distance is not really relevant as much as the steps, since umps don't carry yard sticks) off his established baseline to his right to avoid a swipe tag from a stationary Wieters. That single step did not carry him out of the baseline, either by rule or by common application. That single step did, however, successfully accomplish his goal of avoiding the tag.
So the argument, being made by you and VI, is that the the basepath was established when Wieters attempted the tag and disappeared at the exact moment Ichiro veered more than 3 feet from it?
I could see it if he dodged the tag within three feet of the baseline and then decided to jog a few feet outside the baseline just for the hell of it. But it wasn't just happenstance that Ichiro ran several feet outside of the baseline; rather, it was part of his move to avoid the tag. The baseline was established when Wieters reached for him ("A runner?s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely"), Ichiro made a move to avoid the tag, and Ichiro's move to avoid the tag caused him to run far outside of the baseline ("Any runner is out when [h]e runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged").
There's nothing in the rules about the baseline disappearing the moment the runner starts running out of the baseline to avoid the tag, and there's nothing in the rules about the baseline disappearing if the tagger fails to pursue the runner outside of the baseline. The rule just says that the baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs, and that the runner should be called out if he runs more than three feet outside of that baseline to avoid the tag. There's no reason to separate Ichiro's first step in his cut to the right from the next few steps that were part of the same avoidance move.
Could he have made a different move where he went around Wieters with a stutter step and cut directly to the plate without veering 3 feet from the line? Maybe, but that's not what happened. Instead, Ichiro ran more than three feet out of the established baseline to avoid the tag.
So the argument, being made by you and VI, is that the the basepath was established when Wieters attempted the tag and disappeared at the exact moment Ichiro veered more than 3 feet from it?
At the moment Wieters made the attempted tag (the swipe), Ichiro was not three feet outside the baseline. Now stop. That was the tag attempt. It ended the moment he missed Ichiro, and all that matters (in this situation) is where Ichiro was at that point in time. The steps Ichiro subsequently took, even though they were undoubtedly caused by that single veered step, were not relevant to any baseline issue because Wieters was no longer making an attempt to tag him. That's the argument. You're free to disagree with the interpretation (though it's worth noting that your interpretation is not how umpires have consistently applied the rule for as long as I've been following the sport, nor is it any way practical if you want to allow runners to try to avoid being tagged out), but that is the argument we're making.
Now, if Wieters was not making a stationary swipe at Ichiro, but was instead attempting to run him down, then those other steps Ichiro took would be relevant to the baseline discussion because the tag attempt would be an ongoing, rather than discrete, event. And that's why most ROOB calls involve a chase, rather than a situation like Monday's.
So the argument, being made by you and VI, is that the the basepath was established when Wieters attempted the tag and disappeared at the exact moment Ichiro veered more than 3 feet from it?If you count the tag attempt as being the actual reaching for Ichiro, no. I'm counting it starting once Wieters has caught the ball and has turned toward Ichiro. I'm trying to peg it at a moment before Ichiro starts to avoid Wieters, because it's unfair to wait until Ichiro has already veered away to say OK, give him 3 more feet from there.
I'm also saying once the tag has been missed, the tag attempt is done. It's not an infinite occurrence. I'm also saying - and backing it up with pictures instead of opinions - that Ichiro might have had another foot to spare at that point. So, no, I'm not crafting an argument of convenience, as you imply.
Ichiro continues on that trajectory away from that base path, but there is no tag he is avoiding. Wieters is lying on the ground, not reaching toward Ichiro, and no chance to reach him anyway. It's not until Ichiro has stopped and changed direction toward home that Wieters attempted another tag, but that new attempt established a new base path.
there's nothing in the rules about the baseline disappearing if the tagger fails to pursue the runner outside of the baseline.Let's say this happened at second instead of home, and that it was a stutter-step as you suggest, keeping Ichiro in the 3 foot range the whole time. Let's also say the shift was on, and Ichiro continues toward third without breaking stride after reaching second safely. By your logic, because the path to third is out of the base path established at the time of the tag attempt near second, and the rules don't say when it ceases, and Ichiro is still trying to avoid being tagged, Ichiro should be declared out. I'm sure you'll suggest the base path ceases when he reaches second, but the rules don't say that. As you pointed out they say he's out if he deviates from that established base path to avoid a tag. And he is.
By my logic, the base path at second ceases after the tag attempt is made and missed, and as soon as someone tries to tag Ichiro on his way to third a new base path is established.
I'm a biased orioles fan, but I thought it was ridiculous and that he should have been called out. Why not just let him run around the field with Wieters chasing him, Benny Hill style?
It seems hard to believe now that the Benny Hill Show once existed, a show predicated on the premise of a horny fat old dude chasing young scantily clad women around town. To do what, exactly, after he caught up with them and learned that they were not interested in sleeping with him, which is (shocker) why they were literally running away from his advances?
That's why we laugh at the horny old fat dude.

Federal Judge Richard Posner: The GOP Has Made Me Less Conservative
Originally published on Fri July 6, 2012 11:12 am
Judge Richard Posner, a conservative on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, has long been one of the nation's most respected and admired legal thinkers on the right. But in an interview with NPR, he expressed exasperation at the modern Republican Party, and confessed that he has become "less conservative" as a result.
Posner expressed admiration for President Ronald Reagan and the economist Milton Friedman, two pillars of conservatism. But over the past 10 years, Posner said, "there's been a real deterioration in conservative thinking. And that has to lead people to re-examine and modify their thinking."
"I've become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy," he said.
Posner, who was appointed to the appeals court by Reagan, speculated that the leaks about the deliberations over the national health care law — which are apparently designed to discredit Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion upholding the law — would backfire. "I think these right-wingers who are blasting Roberts are making a very serious mistake," he said.
"Because if you put [yourself] in his position ... what's he supposed to think? That he finds his allies to be a bunch of crackpots? Does that help the conservative movement? I mean, what would you do if you were Roberts? All the sudden you find out that the people you thought were your friends have turned against you, they despise you, they mistreat you, they leak to the press. What do you do? Do you become more conservative? Or do you say, 'What am I doing with this crowd of lunatics?' Right? Maybe you have to re-examine your position."
In addition to his work as an appeals court judge, Posner is the author of more than three dozen books on subjects ranging from law and economics to aging and literature.

Both, but a healthy civilization is a balance between the two
The majority of individuals are unaware of what a monster society is,and it will have your mind or you will experience its hidden face.
Neither, the potential threat is there on both counts, but it's not the norm.
i'm with chipmunkernie on that one
Neither. Society is a collection of individuals. You cannot have one without the other.
The latter.
society is a threat to individuals, and the society wants to pull individuals down and make us all "go with the flow" i hate going with the flow, I love to stand out and be an individual, sadly Christianity says we are all bound to so called "god of fear" we are all its servants, well hell no! we are individuals and we are breaking free from the chains.

DEFINITION of 'CAMELS Rating System'
An international bank-rating system where bank supervisory authorities rate institutions according to six factors.
The six factors are represented by the acronym "CAMELS."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'CAMELS Rating System'
The six factors examined are as follows:
C - Capital adequacy
A - Asset quality
M - Management quality
E - Earnings
L - Liquidity
S - Sensitivity to Market Risk
Bank supervisory authorities assign each bank a score on a scale of one (best) to five (worst) for each factor. If a bank has an average score less than two it is considered to be a high-quality institution, while banks with scores greater than three are considered to be less-than-satisfactory establishments. The system helps the supervisory authority identify banks that are in need of attention.

New Balance 574 "Botanical Garden" by Zack Schlemmer 0 Comments
January 6, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 0
New Balance dropped two pairs of suede 574s right around the turn of the year with tonal leather 'N' side panel branding, but don't forget about the brand's classic reflective silver motif. It looks spectacular on a base of tonal suede and mesh, as with these latest New Balance 574 drops in green and royal blue that follow the same blueprint as the purple, red and navy blue editions that hit retailers right at the tail end of 2011. NB bookended the holiday season with strong suede classics, and judging from the looks of the recent previews, we can expect that trend to continue throughout '12. Have a closer look at some of the first NB574s of this year and grab these, along with the other three, from select retailers like Teaneck, NJ's Packer Shoes.

Butterfly Ginger
My Butterfly Gingers are up. I LOVE these flowers.
The tallest ones are about 2-1/2 ft. I transplanted them to a sunnier location. The Redbud tree has really spread out low and horizontally and the shaded area is now too shaded. So, last year my butterflies didn't bloom. I hope they do better this year. I set them out in two locations to see where they do best. I hope they don't die.
I got them from my cousin in Hawaii years back. When she and her husband moved to the mainland (why would anyone want to leave Paradise?) she brought some of her most loved plants with her and brought me this Butterfly Ginger for my garden.
June 2005
When I grew it in a pot it bloomed and bloomed and bloomed. Since then, it hasn't.
Where do you have yours planted? Would love to see your photos.
BTW, she also provided the seeds for this Jaqueranda tree. Her sister started the tree and she in turn gave one to me when she moved up to Washington state. It grew for me for five years. I repotted it twice, but then sadly it died. Got too cold in the greenhouse when the power went off. This is next to my Koi Pond - 2005
Please feel free to post your Flowering Ginger pics. Tell me your secrets to growing them. Soil, moisture, sunlight, etc.
Annie, I love flowering gingers. I don't have many white - and maybe none this year. When they were digging around for the gas pipes they dug into that garden for absolutely NO reason. I told them there was no gas line anywhere near there. They dug up the plants and just threw them on the ground and didn't say a word to me. After several freezes I realized what they had done!
Hopefully the colored gingers (harder to get) will be fine. Most look great with lots of water this year. I'm growing them in FULL hot sun although it is recommended for afternoon shade. They are in very deep, rich soil still with a high clay content (to hold water) with layers and layers of mulch (which they seem to love). I do not fertilize them as they sit close to our "fresh compost" area (we throw kitchen waste into buckets over the fence until the buckets are filled and then I put that into the compost...the "good stuff" seems to leak out into the soil there. They love it!).
Here's the orange ginger:
Here's a pink ginger from a long long time ago! (look, I had grass and a forest then!!!)
Oh, thanks for posting GGG!
Oh yours are so pretty.
I've never seen any but the white ones.
Do they all smell the same or does each color have their own special fragrance, kind of like Irises? They all smell like irises, but each is a little different. Interesting, isn't it?
Don't you just LOVE the way Ginger blossoms smell? It's similar to Gardenias. Fills the garden with their fragrance on hot summer evenings. Man oh man!
I sure hope mine blooms this year.
I will go out here in a bit and scoop some good stuff from the compost pile and put it in around them and then pile on a thick layer of the composted chipped wood. (I still have a huge pile in the driveway and it has rotted down nicely now). Maybe I need to bury mine deeper. They were somewhat protected under that Redbud tree, but it was too shady and they were rotting. Still, I ended up with several plants and one long rhizome.
I may just wait until we have some cooler temps to bury them deeper.
Thanks for sharing!
Annie,those are beautiful,i've never had any luck with ginger plants,guess they don't like me.LOLThat white is just gorgeous,nice bright white like my glads.
That jacaranda has some humungous leaves,never seen one with leaves that big and they are the street tree plant here in parts of S.ca.Here's a picture of my jacaranda in bloom,i love it,but it's a messy tree,so i have it planted on the lower level of our yard away from the house and sidewalks.
I have white butterfly, which I love dearly! My original clump is probably 5 feet wide (and will be that high in August when it blooms). I have 4 other clumps out in the garden and one in my stream, too. I have given away clumps to friends and neighbors.
This spring, a nursery asked me to do a review and let me order $30 worth of plants to test their packing and shipping quality. One plant is a shampoo ginger. It is up out of the ground now, but I doubt it will bloom this first year.
Cameron From Defining Your Home, Garden and Travel
Oh, Kathy,
you're making me so homesick. I can almost smell those sweet blooms now. My Grannie had one on the south slope below the back of her house so she could look out her bedroom windows and see it in bloom and smell the fragrance.
She did complain sometimes about the mess they made, but she loved that tree.
Mine was a beauty. I just hated that I lost it. It grew to about ten ft. It was a booger to move into the greenhouse in the winter. When it was smaller (like in the photo above), I brought it into the house and put it right here where my computer desk is now - north-facing window. It was lovely in the winter when everything outside was so drab.
Lucky you! Send me some seeds, PLEASE? I would love to try growing another one. I'm ready. I got a new generator for this winter's power failures. No more freezing cold and we will have water too, since our well water is brought into the house via and electric pump). Sooo, no more loss of power in the greenhouse too. Yeah!
Anyway, back to Ginger plants!
I was given some iris a year or so ago and some butterfly ginger came along with it! When the foliage first started coming up, I thought it was a canna (which I am not crazy about) but then it bloomed and I was in love... I don't know if I've ever smelled a more heavenly fragrance. I had to research to find out what it was, I'd never seen one before. It's up again this year, but hasn't bloomed yet. Love to have some more of them.
Annie, the gingers all have a slightly different smell. None smell quite like white butterfly ginger but they all smell lovely and they also bloom at different times. From July-Nov. I usually have gingers (maybe earlier this year with the rain and the heat). They are fantastic as cut flowers, they last so long. I always have them at church - on the alter when they look the best and then I tuck them way at the back when they are a bit raggedy looking but still smell fantastic. We also keep them in the house as natural air freshener.
Floridata says 7b-11 for white butterfly ginger (hedychium coronarium).
I grow mine in 7b up against the east side of the house as well as out in the open garden and in my stream where it is in running water all year long. I let it collapse from the first frost, then cut it back to the ground (or to the water level in the stream).
I divide mine in the spring when the green shoots appear. It's a tough, thick rhizome and all you need is an 8" piece with several eyes on it to get started. I can share some next spring to those who are local. I don't want to mail it anywhere because we are in a fire ant quarantine zone. Though I've not seen any here in years, I still want to be careful.
Annie,send me your snail mail addy and i'll save some seeds for you.I also have a lot of wisteria seed pods on the bush/tree,but they aren't quite brown enough to pick yet.Let me know if you want some of those as well.Always willing to help a fellow gardener with their stash of seeds.LOL

Something escapes me. The state is cutting employees' pay left and right; the University of Hawaii is considering cutting student programs as well. Read more

Ref: Jack M. Schmidt Jr. ltr to wit, "
Mr. Hodge can only be faulted for making the assumption that he was dealing with honorable people."
Be careful how you use that word honorable, especially when speaking about politicans, because we know, with a few exceptions, that word does not describe historically, politicans in Hawaii. Shame die hard democrats keep returning them to office.
#2 Jul 5, 2009
Ms. Stregar makes a valid point..how does appointing a high-salary official for a major university benefit the community during a recession?
The answer is simple... it does not! Nor will the students and programs benefit academically.
#3 Jul 5, 2009
neither the Democrats, nor the horrible hawaii republicans are effective. We need new faces and parties.
#4 Jul 5, 2009
Spoken like a true, dyed in the wool democrat. What is this "we" mean? Does it mean you've moved to Hawaii?
#5 Jul 5, 2009
Alice, you do realize that the "horrible" Hawaiian Republicans do not have a majority in the Legislature don't you? Matter of fact, there are so few that they aren't even invited to participate in the democratic process. So, any and all bills, laws and resolutions passed are done by the Hawaiian Democrats. Are you a political racist? Bad mouthing the minority. Where's your political correctness? Tsk, Tsk. I did notice that you labeled the Republicans but not the Democrats. Your bias is apparent and your opinion is flawed. Aloha, wherever you reside.
#6 Jul 5, 2009
Here's an idea-borrow from ERS to fund the budget deficit. If the State subsequently can't afford contributions to the pension plan, have ERS issue IOU's, ala California. Wonder what establishments would honor the IOU's? To the employees, might as well borrow from your own pension, as that's what you're doing in the long run.
#7 Jul 5, 2009
In Response to Ms. Rosita Sipirok-Siregar.
You get what you pay for and Dr. Greenwood's skills and experience is heads and shoulders beyond what little the former President brought to the table.

I'm not sure if we'll be able to come. Right now both girls are horribly sick... They would have to make a really amazing recovery to be able to go Friday. I'll let you know Thursday night a def. yes or no.
Hi ladies! I'm just starting to get involved with posting on here, although I've lurked on and off for a while. It's nice to see that there really are people out there more like myself. Most of my friends IRL think I'm a bit of a hippy at best for CDing, EBF, and non-vaxing. The others completely disagree with me. Anyway, I'd love to get to know some other like-minded people in my area. I'd love to go to a playdate some time, but DS is just 12 months (his birthday was yesterday - yay!) and I'm not sure if he's too much younger than the other kids. Anyway, if not, we'd love to meet up to play somewhere sometime!

Memory loss and forgetfulness are often associated with the aging brain and are considered "normal" as people age. However, there are some elderly people that don't have memory loss and forgetfulness that is often seen in this population. In fact, they have vivid memories of their life events. Emily Rogalski, a researcher at Northwestern University, questioned the differences that may exist in the brains of elderly people that have a better memory than their normal, aging counterparts. She termed these individuals with better memory "cognitive SuperAgers" and questioned whether they actually exist in the population.
The Study That Could Mean Memory Breakthroughs
Rogalski's study included 12 Chicago-based SuperAger participants as well as 10 normally aging elderly participants with an average age of 83.1 as well as 14 middle-aged participants with an average age of 57.9. To be included in the SuperAger participant group, individuals needed to score at or above the normal level for the 50-65 year old age group on the memory screening tests. Rogalski looked at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the SuperAger brains and screened their memory as well as other cognitive abilities. The results from this study showed that the brains of these SuperAgers, aged 80 and above had the memory of individuals 20-30 years younger. On MRI analysis, these SuperAgers' brains appear as young as the middle-aged participants. Rogalski stated that the SuperAger participants will be followed long term and will be given periodic brain scans and cognitive testing. The effect of aging on memory decline and forgetfulness can be determined from these tests. Additionally, the participants gave blood samples at the beginning of the study so that researchers can measure bio-markers that may help to explain the why these SuperAgers have better memory and are able to escape the brain deterioration that is commonly seen with aging.
RELATED READING: Blurry and Poor Vision Not Caused by Aging
The cortex of the brain, which is the outer-most layer, is important for attention, memory and other thinking tasks. The cortex of the SuperAger group of participants was much thicker than the normally aging elderly participants. The cortex thickness of the SuperAgers was similar to that which was seen in the 50-65 year old age group. The thickness of the outer cortex provides an indirect measure of how healthy the brain is. A thicker cortex generally means that there are more brain cells (neurons). This is turn will lead to better memory and decreased forgetfulness.
There were also differences seen in the anterior cingulate of SuperAger participants. The anterior cingulate is a structure that is deep in the brain and is important for attention. Attention helps to support memory. The SuperAger participants had an anterior cingulate which was actually thicker than the middle-aged participants. The researchers suggest that it may be possible that SuperAgers have excellent attention which helps them to achieve better memory.
Implications of this Memory Research
By examining the brain function of these SuperAgers, researchers can try to figure out how these individuals maintain a better memory than their normally aging counterparts. Researchers usually focus their attention on the processes that go wrong in the brain with aging, but perhaps looking at what goes right in the brain of SuperAgers may help to improve the quality of life in people diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
If you've been taking antacids regularly, you'll be shocked to know antacids destroy healthy stomach acid that's vital for digestion.
For real relief from heartburn and acidity, you need to protect your stomach lining without disrupting normal acid levels.
Researchers have formulated a natural breakthrough that does just that. Studies show the ingredients in this formula helped to reduce heartburn in 89% of people who tried it.

Most of the SuperAgers that were identified in this study plan to donate their brains to the study. Examination of the brains, post-mortem, will allow the researchers to connect the findings from this study for each participant to cellular features in the individual brains. This will allow for a greater understanding of how these SuperAgers have aged more gracefully, cognitively speaking, allowing them to maintain a better memory that individuals who are far younger. If researchers are able to identify how the SuperAger brain differs from the normal, aging brain treatment approaches to help decrease memory loss and forgetfulness can be established. These findings give insight into possible new approaches for neurodegenerative diseases that affect memory.

The client's love for Swedish style inspired the cabinetry, custom-made by Kevin Ritter. The 5-burner Diva de Provence induction cooktop delivers over 89,000 BTUs. The 36-inch dual convection oven is by Wolf. Wilt pendant lights from LBL Lighting.
The armoire, painted French Gray from The Real Milk Paint Company, hides a Sub-Zero 700 series refrigerator. The cabinet in the foreground is painted Soldier Blue from The Old-Fashioned Milk Paint Company; the table and stools are covered in a mix of Soldier Blue and Snow White (2 parts to 7 parts).

I am used to C, where header files usually only contain declarations and not definitions, but C++ seems to encourage the mixing of both, at least with classes. Take this class declaration which could easily be put in a header file. Some of its methods are defined inline, not in the sense of the "inline" keyword, but inline as in within the class declaration itself. Specifically the constructor and four getters/setters.
class MyClass {
MyClass(int a = 0, int b = 1) : _a(a), _b(b) {};
int getA() { return _a; };
int getB() { return _b; };
void setA(int a) { _a = a; };
void setB(int b) { _b = b; };
void doSomething(); // no definition here; defined in source file
void doSomething2(); // no definition here; defined in source file
void doSomething3(); // no definition here; defined in source file
int _a;
int _b;
Is this bad form and should I define the class's methods separately in a source file, leaving only method declarations in the class declaration, or is this perfectly acceptable?

Where Does Shingles Rash Occur
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Herpes Zoster (Shingles)...eye nerves. This can cause outbreaks around the mouth, on the face, neck, and scalp, in and around the ear, or at the tip of the nose. Shingles outbreaks are almost always on just one side of the body. Within a few days, a rash appears on the skin area related to the inflamed nerve. Small blisters form and fill with fluid. Later they break open and develop crusty scabs. If the blisters are scratched, someone with shingles might develop a...
