I am Joem from Australia and I am 34, happily married with three kids, 7,9,10. I have a good job and I think I am pretty healthy.
Here is my diary of events regarding RHS.
On Friday 27 July 2012 I had a sore left ear and I thought it would be okay. By Sunday 29 July 2012 it hurt enough that I thought I had an ear infection (so did the weekend GP). On Monday I felt a pimple like blister break in my ear so I thought it was a pimple (they happen sometime for as a teen I had acne). Then on Tuesday morning 31 July at 5:00am I woke to find I could not wink my left eye. I woke my wife and said "honey I can't wink my left eye" not being a morning person she replied "why do you want to?" to which I replied "no seriously, something is not cool"
I went to my regular GP (who is amazing and even if fully booked lets me and my family crash anytime). She saw me at 10am. At first she thought it looked like Bell's Palsy. The blisters in my ear had not fully settled in yet. At that time she mentioned RHS and I saw her on the following Thursday. By this time the pain was insane. I have had eye surgery where I had new lenses sewn onto replace my damaged ones, I have had those stitches removed whilst I was awake and that was NOTHING compared to this.
And so on Thursday 2 Aug 2012 I was diagnosed with RHS. I was put onto the correct steroids and anti virals.
Although the prescribed pain relief was not working, so I went to our Emergency Department at around midnight. That night the Doctor in charge confirmed the diagnosis of RHS and reviewed the treatment issued by my GP and confirmed it was the correct treatment. This was reassuring. I was put onto Oxycontin for 24 hour pain management. After two weeks I have stopped the pain meds and put up with the pain that I get every now and then. I personally think I am a lucky one. I was treated early and appropriately. My taste is sort of better but the left half of my face is still broken.
I have so much to smile about and so ironically it saddens me that I cannot. Thanks to the people who made this site possible.
Take care,

If I have the wrong place for this query please forgive me, and maybe
point me to the correct one.
i'm looking for information about changing/replacing the keyboard on a
Series 7. I have Series 7 that's lost some of the keys. It still works
wonderfully but if I could replace the missing keys or replace the entire
keyboard it would be perfect.
I have no idea where to start so any help at all would be great.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, November 16, 2007
AIKEN CTY, S.C. --- Three people, two of them probably familiar names to people, are looking for that elusive spot. To become the new Aiken County Superintendent.
The first candidate we have is Doctor Elizabeth Everitt. Right now, Dr. Everitt is the Superintendent of the Albuquerque, New Mexico Public School System. She's been in that position since August, 2003. She's been with the same school system since the summer of 1983.
The second candidate is a familiar one to Aiken County, Doctor David Mathis. He's currently the Associate Superintendent for Administration in the county. He's been there since 2006. Dr. Mathis has an extensive history with Edgefield County. He worked there from 1979 until 2006.
And speaking of Edgefield County, our third candidate just left the district. His name is Doctor Frank Roberson. He just finished up his last day as Interim Superintendent in Edgefield County yesterday. Before that, he has an extensive history with Aiken County Schools, dating back to 1979. He was also the Edgefield County Associate Superintendent before taking over as Interim Superintendent.
There are your three candidates for Aiken County Superintendent. There is a Board of Education meeting planned for Monday Night, where board members will go talk about the three finalists, as well as contract information. But there is no announcement planned for Monday. Stick with News 12; we'll bring you the announcement as soon as it's released.

And with ALL that said; as much as I admire the guy and sing his praises.......he wasn't even the best player on his own team. You ask me who's the best defensive player I've seen the last 10-15 years?
Ed Reed
Ed, motherfucking Reed is the most impactful defensive player I can remember since Lawrence Taylor. The fact that the Ravens have had him AND Lewis together all these years, as well as guys like Siragusa, Adams, Suggs, Woodson, McAslister, Ngata etc, is retarded and just plain unfair

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. ~Elvis
Seau and Lewis are very similar - big, fast, great tacklers, leaders of their teams and awesome in the post season. Everything you say about Ray Lewis above is EXACTLY what anyone would say about Junior Seau. Opinions differ but I have never heard anyone question the sheer awesomeness of Junior Seau.
I think they are both great and two of the best to ever play linebacker.

2 thoughts on NFL news today:
Ray Lewis has been my favorite non-Chiefs football player for years and as bummed as i am in hearing he's retiring i am 100000x more pissed to hear he is signing a deal with ESPN and won't be immediately becoming the greatest Defensive Coordinator in NFL history.
the Chiefs are about to sign Andy Reid. with Reid i believe Vick will follow. i am 100% down for that and REALLY hope it happens.
MMAF Revival 4-2
Seau 268 games/played, 1524 tackles, 56.5 sack, 11 FF, 18 FR, 18 INT for 0 TD, 129 tackles in one year is his best
Ray 228 games/played, 1573 tackles, 41.5 sack, 19 FF, 20 FR, 31 INT for 3 TD, 156 tackles in one year is his best
So based on those numbers Seau was better going up the field to get the QB (although he needed more games to do it) while Ray was the greater sideline to sideline player who also caused more disruption in terms of INT and FF/FR.
Numbers are in Lewis's favor and I don't think anyone ever questioned Ray's leadership while Seau was shipped out. Bottom line is the argument is between two all time greats but the numbers bear out that Ray was the better overall player.

As for Seau being "shipped out"? He had already played 13 years, was 36 and coming off surgery. He didn't want to restructure his contract at a time when the Chargers were struggling and he asked to be released or traded. John Butler, the Chargers GM, had just passed away days before Seau was traded and AJ Smith was running the show w/ Marty as head coach. Neither Marty or AJ Smith wanted Seau and they also cut Rodney Harrison during the off season. That was extremely poor management by the Chargers front office but I don't see anything that happened as a detraction from Seau's leadership or hall of fame career.
Outside of Patsox and now you, these are the first two times I have ever heard people questioning Seau. No player that ever played in the NFL would agree with either of you so I'll leave it at that

To put it in perspective for you could you even imagine the Ravens trading away Ray Lewis or just letting him go? Hell no. Know why? Because that guy was as important in his leadership role as he was dominating on the field. If you put Junior and Ray on the same team Seau would get dominated by Ray's leadership/will. All there is to it...

Your opinions are always so fcking stupid. Junior Seau being questioned as a leader? One of your dumber posts in a legendary career of really fcking stupid posts. Congrats on continuing to cement your title as forum jackass.

Four Great Resources For Math Teachers, Now Free
March 6th, 2014 by Dan Meyer
From our friends at the Shell Centre:
The aim of Shell Centre Publications has always been to ensure that a number of seminal works in the field of mathematical education remained available. We have now reached the point where our most popular items are out of stock, and have come to the decision that it is time to stop storing and selling physical books. Digital distribution is the best way to keep these works available, so in the coming months, we will be making many of the publications on our list available, for free, as PDF downloads.
These books are just great. The Language of Functions and Graphs, in particular, has a couple of career's worth of great activities, lesson plans, and essays on teaching functions. Highly recommended.

I've had those books in my Evernote files for a while now. They were resources that I saved and tagged with the intention of going back through them when I needed resources on functions. I will definitely look at them more closely.
As long as we are praising the Shell Centre, the Download Materials tab contains some great resources as well.
And as long as we are sharing resources from the UK, their National Stem Centre is an EXCELLENT treasure trove of oldies but goodies. http://www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/
In fact, most of these downloads from the Shell Centre are also available on the Stem Centre site.
A personal favorite is the collection from the Nuffield Foundation:
Additionally the SMILE collections are amazing:

Great news, I've been using their MARS assessment project for about a year, and yes it's great.
Can't wait to diving deeper into these new resources.
on 07 Mar 2014 at 12:36 pm3 Jon Tyndall
While we're raving about STEM, here's some excellent stuff to make mechanics even more interesting. Over in the UK there's no coursework so a lot of this has fallen by the wayside. Such a shame.
Skip the first bit and get onto the experiments and demonstrations.
Thanks for the Shell stuff – that photocopying bill is going up and up!
on 08 Mar 2014 at 8:15 pm4 Adam Poetzel
Many years ago as a first year math teacher, a respected veteran in my department showed me this book and we used many of the tasks and problems in our Algebra classes. As a new teacher, using the tasks in this book really helped me to understand what it meant to have students "create arguments and critique the reasoning of others". Math reasoning was alive and well as students engaged with the interesting scenarios and representations in this book. Thank you Shell Centre!!! (and thanks to that veteran teacher for taking me under her wing!)
on 10 Mar 2014 at 1:54 pm5 Sam Jones
I find it most interesting to note the copyright of these materials – 1985. Anticipating Common Core 30 years ago!
on 13 Mar 2014 at 6:34 pm6 Tsee Lee
It'd be great if someone (or everyone) can suggest the most useful books from this site for each subject, for those of us without either time or expertise to sort through the resources. I know it's a lot to ask, so I'd be very grateful.
on 14 Mar 2014 at 3:30 am7 Roberto Catanuto
@jon it seems the link http://www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/dl/282b43b70d7c787742fd3180eacd51b56013be25/3635-Mechanics%20in%20action.pdf
is broken. Could you verify that?
I've got that link fixed.
on 17 Mar 2014 at 3:54 pm9 Elaine Watson
Dan and Michael,
Wow! Thanks for letting us know about the rich treasure trove of quality materials from the Shell Centre! Everything that I've seen from them has been great.
on 21 Mar 2014 at 5:01 pm10 Jon Tyndall
Sorry Robert – I'll try!
If this link doesn't work, a search for Mechanics in Action on the National STEM Centre site should turn it up quickly.

In the beginning of 2010, when daily deals site Groupon was really hitting its stride and copycat businesses were popping up left and right, a small startup called Yipit was just getting off the ground.

It's so nice to see you blogging again when you can! I miss their smiling faces :)
It's wonderful that both little ones have responded to the natural medicine. I think it's important to explore all options when dealing with a difference and I am glad you took that step to make it happen. It's a shame insurance doesn't cover it, especially when it's been such a benefit.
Sending good thoughts your way. Hope you and your family has a wonderful week!

Tips to Put the "Thanks" back in Thanksgiving!0
Thanksgiving is only a few days away … do you have your holiday to-do list prepared? With all the grocery shopping and cooking that comes with making a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner for your family, it can be hard to focus on anything else that day. That's why we here at PersonalizationMall.com's gifting blog, A Personal Touch, have prepared a couple easy Turkey Day tips for you to use in order to make this Thanksgiving even more special than years past!
Thanksgiving day is a great day for family photos, especially because people tend to include pictures taken that day in their family Christmas cards. It's important to have the little ones looking their best, but it can be hard to put them in a pricey outfit knowing that it soon will be covered in gravy, cranberry sauce and stuffing! That's why it's a great idea to personalize our adorable I'm Stuffed© Youth T-Shirt for your son or daughter! You can have their first name personalized under our boy or girl turkey design on an infant t-shirt, infant romper, infant bib or toddler hooded sweatshirt, too! They'll not only look festive and cute in their turkey t-shirt, they'll be thankful they're dressed in comfortable attire while they are running around playing with their siblings and cousins!
With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season it's important to make sure everyone remembers what Thanksgiving is all about.
We came across a great idea from Parents.com that offered the idea for this Turkey centerpiece project that can help remind children of the real meaning of Thanksgiving. It's a simple project that you can do with your kids that also can be used as a beautiful centerpiece for your table.
You start by making the body of the turkey with a Styrofoam ball that you can paint brown or cover in brown yarn. Next you attach a smaller Styrofoam ball that you have already painted or covered in yarn and it will be the turkey's head. Don't forget to add the eyes, beak and red gobble neck! Then use different color construction paper to cut out feathers for the turkey. Tape toothpicks to the back of the feathers and leave one blank feather at each place setting on the table with a crayon or marker. Once your guests arrive, or when you're sitting down for dinner, ask each guest to write down something that they are thankful for on their feather. Before eating, every one can go around one by one and say what they wrote down on their feather.

Turkey Day Tips and Treats Everyone Will Love!0
November is here, which means Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away! Whether you're hosting the big feast at your house or bringing a dish to someone else's home, we have some great tips for you to add A Personal Touch to your Turkey Day!
There's one thing you can always count on happening Thanksgiving Day – a mess! With all the chopping, cooking, baking, etc., the kitchen is guaranteed to suffer a spill or two.
That's why the Give Thanks To The Cook© Personalized Apron, which you can find at PersonalizationMall.com, is a must have for any cook this Thanksgiving! Since the bird has to spend so much time in the oven, the cook is usually stuck wearing an apron while their guests arrive. When you personalize the Give Thanks To The Cook Apron you not only get to personalize your name on the apron, you can display an elegant design in the kitchen while you cook and host at the same time, too! It will protect the nice clothes you have on underneath while still featuring a festive Thanksgiving design!
If you don't plan on doing too much cooking this year and were only assigned a side item, the Give Thanks To The Cook is the perfect hostess gift to give to the chef who has taken on the turkey challenge! They'll be truly touched and will know that you really are thankful for their hard work.
Also, if you're responsible for a side dish and aren't sure what to bring, we have an adorable suggestion for you. Make sure you ask to bring a dessert so you can make your own Turkey Treats like the ones we saw on OurBestBites.com! Click on the previous link and you'll be able to read the full recipe for how to make these beautiful birds!
All you need is candy corn, double stuff Oreo cookies, whoppers, peanut butter cups, and chocolate and yellow frosting! This may take some time so if you're running late you can just get the base of the turkey started and bring the supplies to the house where you'll be having dinner. You can make it a fun project that kids of all ages (5-105 years old!) will love to help with! Sticking with the spirit of Thanksgiving, ask your little (or big!) helpers to say one thing they are thankful for each time they add a feather (candy corn) to their turkey.
The little turkeys could double as adorable place holders and will taste so good, every guest will gobble them right up!
We hope this helps get your creative juices flowing because we'd love to hear any ideas you may have for some fun Thanksgiving treats! Leave a comment here with a suggestion so we can all share and make sure you keep checking back here on the A Personal Touch blog all month long for more tips and tricks to making your Turkey Day fantastic!
Happy Gifting!

It's been a very long time and I just noticed a picture on Boardgame Geeks website that shows the inventory of the Waffen SS Pack for Fuhrer's Firemen.
There are some Chapter H pages that I do not remember getting with my pack.
Does anyone know if these are in the HOB updates to Waffen SS I & II?

Found the following around the lake: Song Sparrow Fox Sparrow Eastern Phoebe Pileated Woodpecker - Carving out a football sized hole in one of the pines. Possible nest hole? On the lake: Common Loon (1) Pied Billed Grebe (2) Lesser Scaup (~7-10) Out in the middle of the lake. Flew up and around then southwest. Possible Red-necked or Horned Grebe - Not a positive I.D. I caught a glimpse of the bird across the lake and chased him all around the lake. It would surface with just the head above water then slip back under. I must have spent 45 minutes trying - no scope with me today - but never got a good view. Will go early AM tomorrow to try again with a scope.

Imelda Marcos' Tiara, Other Jewels to Go on Display
Part of a $6 million jewelry collection seized from Imelda Marcos — including diamond-studded belts and hair combs — will be shown for the first time to the public in Manila as early as July.
Mrs. Marcos fled the country to Hawaii in 1986 when her husband Ferdinand was ousted from power in a peaceful revolution spurred by allegations against the Marcos regime of corruption, lavish living off the public's money and human rights violations. The U.S. Customs seized millions of dollars worth of jewelry she took with her to Hawaii, which eventually may be auctioned off for money that will go to the Filipino people.
The venue for the jewelry display hasn't yet been decided.
Mrs. Marcos maintains she should get the jewelry back, her lawyer said. She returned to the Philippines in the early 1990s, ran unsuccessfully for the presidency, and now, at 83 years old, serves in the Philippines House of Representatives. Her husband died in Hawaii.
The public viewing is being arranged by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). The commission was created by Ferdinand Marcos' successor, then-President Corazon Aquino, to try to retrieve what it considered ill-gotten assets by the Marcoses and some of their political and business associates.
"It will only feature select samples from each collection of jewelry, which consists of tiaras, necklaces, brooches, earrings studded with valuable gems and even diamond-studded belts," PCGG Commissioner Maita Chan-Gonzaga told The Wall Street Journal.
She said the exhibit should be reminder "of how we are deprived because of the excesses of the past."
The government holds about 760 pieces of Mrs. Marcos' jewelry in three collections, valued at a total of $6 million. That includes 300 pieces of jewelry retrieved from the Malacanang Palace right after People's Power Revolution, 400 items confiscated in Hawaii, and 60 items seized by the Philippines' Bureau of Customs from a Greek national accused of smuggling the jewelries out of the country.
What doesn't go on display will continue to be kept in the vaults of the Philippine's central bank. The commissioner dismissed speculation that some of the jewelry had been stolen and replaced with fakes. "They are all accounted for," she said. Security, insurance and other logistics are being arranged to protect the collection during the public exhibit.
The Marcos family is protesting the PCGG's plan to exhibit the jewelry.
Robert Sison, a lawyer for Mrs. Marcos, said she can prove her ownership of the jewelry and the PCGG has no right to possess it.
"The jewels have never been sequestered, let alone subject of any court proceedings," he said.

Our chinchilla room is in the basement because of the lower temperatures and the ease of clean-up.
(click on pictures to see a larger image)
Below is how the rescue looks today. Want to see how we evolved? Visit our "History of the Chin-Room" page.
Above are pictures are most of our set-up. We have switched over to mostly Ferret Nation and Critter Nation cages, with the additional cages kept being mostly Quality Cages and Martins Cages.
For the most part, the cages are lined up against the wall, with supplies on the shelves under the FNs/CN. We have more supplies in a shelf-unit off to the right (not shown - pictured below). We also have cages against another wall, and a play pen for the chinchillas.
We do have more supplies than what are visible in these pictures. However, the majority of our supplies are kept on or around our supply area (pictured below), or under the tables holding the chinchilla cages.
This is our playpen which we let our chinchillas out in for playtime. It contains a hammock, several ledges, some additional hidey-spots, and a covered litter box for the chinchillas to dust in. View from the top (with Kankalls and Pash exploring).
Below are pictures of our individual cages and breeding runs.
Starting with the Ferret Nations & Critter Nation. For all of these cages, we have gone to the effort to get our Bass Pans powdercoated, to extend the life of these pans, and, as an added bonus, to help add some additional color to the cages.
The first FN in the row is our "Safari" FN. The cage accessories feature both leopard print and zebra print fleece, and the liners are made from both types of fleece as well. We have both a cut-out pan and a rectangular pan for the top level for ease of transitioning this FN from one cage to two cages. This is one of our rescue cages.
Next we have our blue FN. This FN is the only one of these cages that was not done up in any particular pattern or theme. The only connecting factor between all of the fleece in this cage is that all of it has the color blue somewhere in the pattern. We have both a cut-out pan and a rectangular pan for the top level for ease of transitioning this FN from one cage to two cages. This is one of our rescue cages.
Then we have our green FN. This FN was done up in tan, green, and blue striped fleece. This is a rescue cage.
Next is our "pink zebra" FN. This FN was done up in a pink zebra design fleece. This cage can be split in two, to house rescues in the bottom half. It currently houses Toby, one of our pet chinchillas, in the top half.
...and when I was at Brooklyn Zoo in the gift shop, I saw a stuffed pink zebra (of all things!) and it matched the cage perfectly so I just had to get it...
Our last FN is actually a Critter Nation among the sea of FN's. It is done in a dark pink fleece. This FN was done up in a pink zebra design fleece. This cage can be split in two, to house rescues in the bottom half. It currently houses Winx, one of our pet chinchillas, in the top half.
This is a Martins Cage. This cage was made custom sized to fit a smaller pan, but it is basically a slightly scaled down Chinchilla Townhome. This cage houses our rescued prairie dog, Shiloh. For more pictures/info on Shiloh, please visit our "About Us" page.
We also have our "rat stack." The rat stack is a stack of three bird cages that have been converted for use by rats. These cages can each hold 1-2 rats comfortably.
We also have a FN that houses guinea pigs and a rabbit.
***picture coming soon***
This cage typically houses rescue chinchillas, though it is currently set aside as one of our spare cages. It was originally built by us for a rescue chinchilla, Fuzzy. Fuzzy has now since been adopted out to a new home, but he was a part of our lives for 3 years, and really touched our hearts. This cage was built for him, as Fuzzy had a broken pelvis that had healed wrong, and could not jump as high as other chinchillas, so we wanted him to be able to get around his cage easily. The cage was built with shelves closer together so he wouldn't have any problem making his way around the cage.
The cage was made out of melamine-coated-pressboard, pine, and hardware cloth. This cage is about the size of a Quality Cage Townhome (this is including the bottom drawers in the height), but it cost about double to build. However, the solid walls keep in more shavings and mess than the QC wire cages do.

Everyone has their dream college, although usually people throw out big name universities such as Harvard or Yale. For me, however, my dream college is the University of Florida. I could not imagine a better place to go to school, from it being close to home, having a beautiful campus, to being one of the top schools for my major.
Fortunately, as I said, the University of Florida is relatively close to home - three hours away to be exact. This drive is almost nothing compared to that of those who want to attend college out of state. Since my dream school is so close, I am able to pop up to visit every once in a while.
Last week, my dad and I went to Gainesville to go to a University of Florida Open House. I got my permit a few months ago, so my dad decided to let me drive - the entire way there. This was by far the furthest I had ever driven, and my first time driving on I-4, 75, and the Turnpike. I managed to get us to our hotel unscathed, and the next morning we headed out early to the open house.
When we arrived, we signed in, and I immediately made a beeline to take a picture with my favorite college mascot: Albert the Gator. We perused some of the tables, and I talked with representatives at the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences booth. We walked around campus, and my dad pointed out different spots from his time as a student at UF.
We had lunch with a friend of my dad, who is now a professor at UF, before continuing on with the rest of our day. We went to a couple of breakout sessions, but the highlight of the day was a session on the admissions process. As someone who has done an extensive amount of research on colleges, I can say the admissions process is something usually kept under wraps. Colleges release the general things they are looking for, the average range of GPAs and standardized test scores of the freshman class, and hand a student an application.
Colleges usually say they are looking for a well-rounded student taking high level classes, but don't say what differentiates candidates from one another. Today's high school experience is focused largely preparing students to be accepted into college. Therefore, students who devote all of their time and effort into academics and extracurriculars will probably start to seem very similar when it is all written on paper.
The admissions workshop touched on exactly how grades are configured into the acceptance process, what the selection committee is looking for in essays, and how to brag on yourself in a positive light. The admissions officer who was speaking made an excellent point; she explained that UF does not accept letters of recommendation, meaning the applicant is the only person who gets to portray themselves. Therefore, students should not be afraid to brag on themselves, because that is the only presentation the selection committee sees.
Overall, the experience was nothing but a positive one. I have always known that I wanted to attend UF, but visiting the school again only further reinforced this.
The University of Florida is one of the most competitive public universities for admissions, especially after the 2006 back-to-back National Championships and the Tim Tebow craze. UF has become part of pop culture, drawing people to apply from all over the county. With its immense popularity, it has become extremely difficult to get in. I can only hope that one day all of my hard work will pay off and I will finally get to be the Gator I've always dreamed of.

Fried Rosemary-Onion Red-Skinned Potatoes Recipe
Fried Rosemary-Onion Red-Skinned Potatoes Notes
Vargr, a friend of mine, and I came up with the recipe to go with some grilled London Broil that had a Montreal rub. A very savory dish that goes well with other strong flavored dishes.
- 5 medium-large red-skinned potatoes, halved and sliced into 1/4" slices
- 1 med-large yellos onion, halved root-to-stem and thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoon olive oil, divided (2 tablespoons for each pan)
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided (1 tablespoon for each pan)
- 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh dill
- 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped curly leaf parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Serves / Yields
4-5 servings
Preparation Instructions
Slice up your potatoes and onions and put them in separate containers to store until the pans are ready. Chop up the rosemary, dill and parsley. You can mix the dill and parsley together, but keep the rosemary separate. Setting this up before the pans are heated will make the rest go a lot easier.
Heat 2 med-large (or 1 very large) skillets over medium-high heat. Add 2T Oil and 1T Butter to each pan and allow to warm until the butter is completely melted and starting to just turn a bit brown.
Add the potatoes to the heavier pan (if there's a difference) and the onions in the lighter/thinner one. Stir both around to thoroughly coat all with the oil and toasted butter mixture. Add salt and pepper to the potatoes, and a dash of salt to the onions.
Stir and sauté both, stirring frequently so the potatoes don't stick to the skillet and the onions cook evenly. When the onions are completely translucent and just starting to brown a bit, lower the heat to "hold" them (about 6-7 minutes).
Add the garlic and half of the rosemary to the potatoes and stir to distribute evenly. At this point, add about 1/4C water to the potatoes, stir once, and immediately cover, reducing heat to medium, and allow to steam for about 10 minutes. Check the onions occasionally to be sure they aren't browning too much, and stir as necessary.
Remove cover (careful! Steam scalds!), and stir the potatoes about, scraping up any bits that have adhered to the bottom of the skillet. The water should be just about gone, leaving a thick sauce of potato starch, butter, and oil. Stir this around to coat the potatoes, being careful not to mush up the more-tender 'taters too much.
Add the warmed and slightly browned onions to the 'taters, and add the rest of the rosemary, and the dill and parsley (reserving a bit of the parsley and dill for garnish). Stir, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Continue to fry (may need to raise/adjust heat if necessary), stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to the pan for another 5-10 minutes or so, depending on the stove heat, until browned in places. Flip and turn them to get some brown bits on all, and to make sure all the 'taters are soft and tender, but not too mushy (careful in the turning. Use "Shovel under and flip" with a sturdy spatula, if possible, to keep from turning these into onion-rosemary mashed 'taters from too much spoon mixing) .
Serve along side the beef, with a sprinkle of the dill/parsley on top for garnish.
I read about this dish as I love rosemary and dill together. I especially love rosemary and dill together with chicken. It makes the chicken soooo delicious. The red skinned potatoes were sumptuous. Zangi Angeli
Make it Again? Zangi A. would make this recipe again.

Rangers face Angels, Hamilton in home opener
ARLINGTON, Texas - Josh Hamilton will be in the other dugout when the Texas Rangers play their home opener Friday.
Texas is coming off an opening series at Houston, when Yu Darvish was one out from a perfect game and Rangers pitchers struck out 43 batters in posting two shutouts. But so much attention in the first home series will be on Hamilton being in a Los Angeles Angels uniform.
Hamilton was booed in his last game at Rangers Ballpark. That was when he was still with the Rangers and 0 for 4 in their last home game, a 5-1 AL wild-card game loss to Baltimore last October.
Texas scheduled starter Derek Holland says Hamilton was a good teammate.

The Piano Lesson
by August Wilson
The Piano
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The infamous piano at the center of the play's conflict is about as symbolic as it gets. It has meant a lot of things to a lot of different people over the years. Now, sitting in Doaker's living room, it carries all of those meanings with it. Early on in its history, the piano represented pretty much all that was messed up about slavery. It originally came into the lives of the Charles family when they were still enslaved by the Sutters. Robert Sutter exchanged Boy Willie and Berniece's great grandmother and grandfather for the piano. So, this piano was literally bought with the flesh and blood of the Charles family. Put it all together, and you can say that the piano represents slavery itself.
The piano is more than just a symbol of slavery though. It's also represents the strength and resiliency of the Charles family. Miss Ophelia, Sutter's wife, started to really miss Berniece and Boy Willie's great grandmother and grandfather. However, Mr. Nolander, the guy who Sutter made the deal with, wouldn't re-exchange the slaves. Miss Ophelia got really sick because she missed her slaves so badly. So, Sutter ordered Willie Boy, Berniece and Boy Willie's great grandfather, to carve pictures of them into the piano. Willie Boy did as he was asked, but went even further. He carved the faces of his wife and child, who were traded for the piano, but he also carved the whole history of his family. With this act of rebellion he reclaimed the piano in a way. He took the object that his family had been traded for and made it his. Now the piano represented not just the degradation of slavery, but also the strength and dignity of those people who were enslaved.
The piano caused more trouble for the Charles family later on, and thus became an even more complex symbol. Boy Willie and Berniece's father, Boy Charles, became obsessed with the piano. By the time he came along, slavery had been abolished. However, he felt like as long as the Sutters still owned the piano, his whole family was symbolically still in slavery. So, Boy Charles and his brothers, Doaker and Wining Boy, took the piano from Sutter's house. Unfortunately, Boy Charles was set on fire inside a boxcar after the piano was found missing. After this tragedy, the piano not only represented slavery and the strength of the Charles family, it also represented violence. Berniece says that her mother, Mama Ola, "polished this piano with her tears for seventeen years. For seventeen years she rubbed on it till her hands bled. Then she rubbed the blood in …mixed it up with the rest of the blood on it" (1.2.162). You can sum all this up by saying that the piano represents the whole history of the Charles family.
All of the piano's symbolic meanings come together at the climax of the play when Berniece uses it to banish Sutter's ghost. By this point, the piano has become a holy altar to the dead. It had already become this when Berniece was a child. Berniece's mother used to be able to hear her dead father's voice when Berniece played the piano. Berniece also says the pictures on the piano would come alive and walk through the house at night. The spirits of the piano carry with them all the symbolism that we've talked about already. They are the history of the Charles family. Since her mother died, Berniece has tried to hide from this history by not playing the piano. However, at the play's climax she finally plays the piano again, and she symbolically draws on her family's history in order to finally banish Sutter from their lives.
As if all that wasn't enough, the piano has an even bigger symbolism. Not only can you see it as representing the Charles family's history, you can also see it as representing the history of all African Americans. Pianos are originally European instruments. However, our piano is a little different from most. The opening stage directions tell us, "On the legs of piano, carved in the manner of African sculpture, are mask-like figures resembling totems" (1.1.1). So, what we have here is a European instrument decorated with African-style carvings – the piano is a symbolic blend of African and European cultures.
This is exactly what African-American culture is. When slaves were first brought to America, much of their African identity was slowly stripped away. Over the generations, they lost their languages, religions, and much of their cultural identity. However, African Americans made the most of what they had and created a new culture – one that was a blend of African and European influences. So, when Berniece plays on the piano at the end of the play, she's not just summoning the strength of her own family's history, she's symbolically drawing on the history of the entire African American community.

His greatest joy as a minister is to lift the human spirit to experience all that God has in store for them, and to liberate the world from the same bondage and evil that tried to destroy him as a child. He is a man after the heart of God; a man who dares to believe God's Word!
Everton is a wonderful husband to his lovely wife, Tracy, and the father of four beautiful children, all of whom are his great delight.

'Weird Al' Hits a Career Milestone
For the first time in his career "Weird Al" Yankovic scores a number one album.
For the first time in his career "Weird Al" Yankovic scores a number one album.
AL: Will the real Barack Obama please stand up. "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." Know what the latest modern day form of slavery is? That is when you become chained to a system of entitlements that destroys the soul…it keeps people subdued and happy and it does not let them break out from the poverty chain and reach their true potential… to have pride in themselves and pride in their accomplishments. It is pretty much like being a prisoner in jail…and the Dem leaders know this and they want to keep us divided. They want to make the blacks think they love them when all they are is a controlled group, kept penned up in the same area and ready to vote democratic…And now they are trying to do the same thing to the proud Hispanic race…I pray for the day when these two races stand up on their own and not be chained to the leg of the Democratic party only…. and here is why it is so….these are the CHAINS used to keep blacks and Hispanic have nots in their cages …sad is it not? ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Saul Alinsky 12 Rules for Radicals (NOTE: Alinsky was known as the Father of Community Organizing…He was from Chicago…does that sound familiar? Here is the complete list from Alinsky. ++++++++++++++ How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky: There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important. 1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people. 2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. 3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. 4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income). 6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. 7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools. 8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States ? Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule. Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S. When a junior senator, Obama in a live television interview told the reporter that the two greatest influences in his life were his mom Stanley Ann and SAUL ALINSKY ! Obama has often quoted him in his books and when Obama was elected he kept ranting in front of CHEERING crowds of idiots that he was soon going to start to FUNDAMENTALY CHANGE AMERICA…if you read Alinsky, you will NOW know what he meant. Hillary did her college thesis on Alinsky writings and was offered a job to come work directly for him…HRC refused ONLY because she wanted to go to Law School and become a lawyer….Saul Alinsky died about 43 years ago, but his writings influence those in political control of our nation today NOTE: The right reverend Jesse Jackson and the racist Al Sharpton read and studied Saul..JJ built his Rainbow Coalition based one hundred percent on the tactics of the FATHER OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, Saul Alinsky…and Sharpton he makes his money on black crises after crises.. Anyone out there think that this stuff isn't happening today in the U.S.? All eight rules are currently in play

E3 2016 press conference schedule
E3 2016 is fast approaching--just next week!--and we've spotted the perfect timetable schedule to ensure you don't miss a single announcement regardless of where you are across the globe.
It's that time of year again--the time of leaks, bullshots, and insane new consoles, and we're here to make sure you get the full E3 2016 schedule. Admittedly I was going to compile a list of all the press conferences, but then I came across this amazing timetable from Twitter's @Cheesemeister3k that puts most of the handmade schedules to shame.
As you can see, the schedule is complete with major timezone conversions of all the major press conference events, from Bethesda to Sony and the PC Gaming Show. We expect to see Sony unveil its new PlayStation 4K console at the show, and Microsoft will show off its new Xbox hardware including the Xbox One Mini and the new Xbox streaming set-top box. Nintendo is expected to have a new 90 minute gameplay demo of the new Legend of Zelda game, with new details and an official name for the game.
We'll be sure to update you with live feeds of each press conference once their respective date nears, but for now, check out our recent pre-E3 2016 coverage. Big thanks to Cheesemeister3K for making such a helpful tool for the community!

AMD to share lessons learned from DX12 and Vulkan at GDC 2016
Developing in DirectX 12 compared to DirectX 11 is certainly a different animal completely, And Vulkan isn't actually officially out quite yet, but AMD is going to help out those budding developers make that transition by giving a talk at GDC about the lessons they learned internally.
Matthaeus Chajdas, who is very well informed on the topic of these new API's, and has had a hand in creating Mantle, will be giving the talk. According to the GDC schedule, the lecture he'll give will go over a lot of the low-level ideas that can make DX12 and Vulkan much better and much more efficient.
Matthaeus will go over the first round of games that're in development and talk about what works and what doesn't work so well. He's got a lot of knowledge on the subject, and if you're a developer of any kind looking to better your understanding of the two new low-level API's, then this is the lecture to attend. Having had the chance to chat with him about even simple concepts was fascinating. Just remember that these lectures are designed for those with development experience.

E3 attendance this year was the best in over 10 years
E3 2015 - Attendance at E3 this year saw over 50,000 attendees, which is a first since 2006. Attendance numbers slumped in 2007 and 2008, right down to less than 6,000 - but don't worry, things started swinging up in 2009 right up to over 40,000.
The Entertainment Software Association, the people behind E3, has already announced that E3 2016 will take place between June 14 and 16 in 2016, as well as saying that this year's E3 was a record-breaker. Twitch was the official livestreaming partner of E3 this year, with over 500,000 peak concurrent viewers.
274 exhibitors were at E3 this year, up from just 187 in 2015, too.
Big developers have joined AMD and PC Gamer's PC Gaming Show at E3
One of the more exciting parts of E3 2015 will be the PC Gaming Show at E3 2015, with AMD teaming up with PC Gamer, with big names like Twitch, Bohemia Interactive, Tripwire and Digital Storm to be participating.
But, there have been a few new developers joining the event, with ArenaNet, CCP Games, Creative Assembly, Fullbright, Frictional Games, Frontier Developments, Nexon, Pixel Titans, SCS Software and Splash Damage joining in the fun. The PC Gaming Show will take place during E3 2015, where Sean 'Day[9]' Plott will be hosting the event at the Belasco Theater in LA on June 16, 2015.
We are expecting to see AMD unveil the Radeon R9 390X at the event, as well as a big concentration on PC gaming and everything that surrounds it.
Australia gets a taste of tech - The Gadget Expo 2015
First released as a teaser trailer on YouTube in late 2014 - The Gadget Expo 2015 sets out to plug the gap as seen in the Australian tech calendar. Aussies often have EA Games press events, EB Games running their massive gaming exhibition and PAX Australia with two years of gaming pop culture success - but what about the lovers of straight up technology?
There were a few main points covered in this trailer. Some of the most interesting inclusions include: the announcement that it will contain an emphasis on it being more of an 'event show' rather than a 'trade show', the event will contain a 'Gamers Bubble' - functioning as a sort of mini-PAX or mini-EB Expo, alongside a Home Tech Zone and an Innovation Zone.
As a whole this show is setting out to be somewhat of an Australian CES 2015, in which companies will come and showcase their latest and greatest technology - alongside various big-name tech heads sharing their thoughts and knowledge to thousands of seated fans. The Gadget Expo does promise "world renowned" tech experts, inventors, entrepreneurs and more at the event - here's hoping that all of these big claims can be pulled off.

Google announces Google I/O dates for May 28-29, 2015
Google has just announced the dates for Google I/O 2015, its annual developer conference. The conference will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, on May 28-29, 2015.
We don't know what Google will unveil at the event, but last year we had the first public look at Android 5.0, or at the time Android "L". The bigger question is, who will get tickets? Google I/O's own registration page says that developers can register for the event between March 17-19, but after that attendees will be selected "at random".
Exclusive statement from PAX Aus regarding their early ticket release
Just yesterday we published an article outlining PAX Australia's 2015 ticket sales going live, seeing their event announced for the 30th of October 2015.
We covered that even though PAX Australia has a stellar reputation in the local market, with a total PAX culture being born only two years into its existence. Many fans are purchasing tickets even though no companies, titles, personalities or attractions have been announced to the public - with them claiming confidence in the fact that PAX will likely put on a great show no matter what.
We were able to get into contact with Guy "Yug" Blomberg, PAX Australia's Content & community manager, regarding a personal statement about the purpose for these early ticket sales. Guy provides some understandable and seemingly correct thoughts on the matter, with his full statement reading...

Roger's finals run stopped
Roger has been defeated in straight sets in the semifinal of the Australian Open. His opponent, Novak Djokovic, came back from 3-5 in the first set to win the match at 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5).
Novak Djokovic was simply too strong, too steady. Where Roger inched past him in the last grand slam final - the U.S. Open last September - this time the Serb was always a nose ahead. "I think he made the more important points today, it was a bit unfortunate for me," Roger commented. "It depends a lot on form, you can't always play your best. It's not easy coming out every week trying to win. You'll always run into fellow top-10 players or other guys who are on a streak or on a hot run or surprise you."
Roger added he was far from his best in the Rod Laver Arena, but said he gave everything he had to try and get back into the match."There's some sort of a disappointment. But from the spirit, the way I fought, the way I tried, it's all I could give," he said.
This defeat was Roger's first in straight sets at a grand slam since he lost to Gustavo Kuerten in the 2004 French Open.The holder of 12 grand slam crowns, his chase of Pete Sampras's record 14 is now on ice until the 2008 French Open begins in May.
Oh, I hope he gets Darren Cahill too! He's exactly the type that Roger needs. Downplayed and quiet, and willing to let Roger do his thing; yet there for Roger every step of the way.
To Fedex100:
i know your the best and u always prove it.
good luck
no.1 all the way
I share the same feeling... I was so upset after Roger's loss, I thought nobody could understand me (my friends and family sure didn't!). But when I logged on here, I realized how wrong I was! I got so much support and encouraging words fr
you are stil the BEST!!!
a 'four leaf' for you,
especially from me^^
it represents Good Luck in chinese!!!
The Tennis Master...
Still not feeling better?
May you find your form again
To face another opponent
Just give your very best
And God will do the rest.
Good luck!
I believe this may be the year in which you win the French Open. I hope that the rest of your season is successful and (most importantly) that you are healthy and happy.
hey guys what do you all think about Darren Cahill being Rog's coach? I like his tennins 'talk' when he does tv commentating and he was Andre's coach, so he does k

Once you touch the softness and feel the comfort, you'll see the difference from ordinary cotton.
Use it for your daily skincare routine and during makeup application for smooth results. Made from 100% cotton that has not been chemically treated, bleached or pigmented. Raised without the use of chemical fertilizer or pesticides to ensure pure, safe quality. The extra thickness adds a soft cushion for sensitive skin yet its superb quality and durability won't fuzz when patting makeup.
*Certified organic in Japan.
Directions: Apply lotion onto pad then gently pat over entire face. Be sure to use enough skin lotion or cotton will tend to fuzz.
Wiping-off: Moisten cotton and gently wipe off lotion or cleansing cream.
Lotion Pack: Saturate cotton with skin lotion and tear it into several layers. Place each part on a specific dry area and leave on for 5-10 minutes.

Very nice cotton to get mascara off!

Comments about Koh Gen Do Cotton, 60 ea:
Wasn't sure what all the fuse was about pure cotton to use on your face. Now, since I have tried these, I won't ever use regular cotton pads again! These absorb much faster and they use less of my eye makeup remover. Better to use these and use less expensive eye makeup remover and save the money! These are really great to have in your beauty routine of taking off makeup. Highly recommend.

Comments about Koh Gen Do Cotton, 60 ea:
I tend to buy what works best and if I can get a lower-priced item that will do the same, I hunt it down. I avoided these for a long time because what could they possibly do that your standard cotton rounds couldn't? I was so wrong! These are soft, absorbent, and durable.
The softness really helps when you're removing waterproof or otherwise hard-to-remove makeup because you're like to go over your face several times. Standard cotton rounds leave my sensitive skin red and I just accepted that as part of the makeup removal process - these don't do that, they're like pillows for your face.
They're incredibly absorbent and can hold a respectable amount of makeup remover and not leak all over your face when you apply light pressure to help remove your makeup. They pick back up everything they put down and there's not a lot of re-wiping required.
I wear a lot of waterproof makeup - it rains a lot where I live - and I can remove my full face with just one of these; remove foundation and general face makeup with one side, one eye (waterproof brows, mascara, eyeliner, and shadow with a base) and then split it so that I can use the insides for the other eye and a general face wipe-down. I haven't tried using these for nail polish removal (the other thing I used standard cotton rounds for) because I have a lot of rounds to get through first.
I own other brands of luxury facial cotton and these are larger, softer, and more absorbent than any others I've purchased. Highly recommended.

In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce(107 ratings)
|Tamora Pierce
|In the Hand of the Goddess
|Song of the Lioness Quartet
|Submitted by Hani N.
(Jan 11, 2007)
In the Hand of the Goddess is by far the best book that I have ever read. It shows all of the quality that a book should have. Alanna is a very good heroin because she is female, smart, brave, courageous, etc. This book changed my reading habits because once I picked this book up, I couldn't stop reading at all. Alanna also shows the compassion that most PEOPLE lack.Alanna also shows that girls can do anything that boys can do, only that girls can do it better. I would like to personally thank Mrs.T amora Pierce for all of her amazing books.
|Submitted by Sian Borrum
(Dec 02, 2005)
I am an avid reader of Tamora Pierces books, and I love them all, but I can honestly claim that this one is the best. Full of romance, adventure, and spirited, exciting characters, "In The Hand Of The Goddess" is an amazing novel that leaves the reader crazy for more. Once I had read it three times, I rushed to my school library and almost choked the librarian when she told me that the library didn't have the next book. Pierce does an exellent job of making Alanna tough and brave while still allowing room for a side of her that can be identified with: a side that is very much a young, developing girl who is not entirely secure. Watching Alanna grow from that confused girl into a herotic young woman is a joy, as is sharing in her success. By the end of the book, it is as if the reader has been truly a part of her life.
|Submitted by Cho C.
(Oct 30, 2005)
I believe this to be a brillant book, to me it is the best in the series. I love it so much because it is the most action packed of all the books that I have read from this quartet, plus is has all my favourite characters and in the situation I like them to be in: Alanna, Jonathan, Gary, Myles. I also really enjoy the comments that her cat makes, they are quite funny. I would highly recomend this book to anyone who likes a change from the meer "a knight is a man".

a brand to trust for fat soluble vitamins
Posted by Reviewer1396637 on Dec 11, 2009
I bought a cheaper brand of vitamin E and my Doctor told me not to use it! She said for fat soluble vitamins, a good brand is a must and Thorne is a great brand! Especially when it comes to vitamin E, you have to trust the brand b/c vitamin E is usually made with soy beans, and if they aren't organic then they are most likely GMO and not good at all for vitamins. So far, very pleased with throne's vitamin e:)
Quality vitamin E
Posted by Reviewer2825814 on Jul 27, 2010
These seem to be totally good, with a broad spectrum of tocopherols better representing naturally occurring Vitamin E (unlike the synthetic and limited Vitamin E available here in Australia). Higher dosages can reduce the effect of other vitamins, but this one from Thorne seems to have been just right.
Excellent delivery to New Zealand

Austin Blaski is dreaming of one day pitching in the major leagues.
The Marietta College ace right-hander, who helped the Pioneers repeat as NCAA Division III national champions, has an excellent chance of doing so if Etta Express baseball history is any indication.
Of the more than 40 Pioneers who have gone on to play professional baseball, a majority of them have been hurlers. Not all of them reached the Bigs, but guys like Kent Tekulve, Duane Theiss, Terry Mulholland, and Matt DeSalvo did.
The 21-year-old Blaski, a recent 21st-round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2012 Major League Baseball draft, naturally is hoping to be the next one, along with Mike DeMark (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Mark Williams (Milwaukee Brewers), who are currently throwing in the minor leagues.
Even though Blaski, an All-American and pretty much all-everything, was the 665th overall pick in the draft, he will get an opportunity to show his wares.
At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, Blaski has the tall, lanky build for a pitcher. And, he also has the arm - and a live one at that.
Blaski probably doesn't throw as hard as DeSalvo or even Williams, but he's fast enough as he fanned a team-high 115 in 110 innings in his senior season. He of course also has other pitches in his repertoire.
Interestingly, Blaski - who played his prep baseball at Pandora-Gilboa in northwest Ohio - almost didn't enroll at Marietta. He was actually going to Heidelberg University in nearby Tiffin until his high school mentor Larry McCullough intervened and directed him to southeast Ohio.
McCullough played for the Don Schaly-coached Pioneers 20-some years ago.
When Blaski arrived on the MC campus as a freshman, he was a shortstop, and also playing the position was a guy by the name of Tim Saunders.
Well, you know the rest of the story as Blaski was converted into a pitcher by the Pioneer coaching staff, and Saunders...well, he recently was drafted by the Chicago Cubs.
Blaski did not become a Pioneer ace overnight. He had to learn and work at it, thanks to the Pioneer coaching staff.
In his frosh campaign, he threw in only 15-plus innings, compiling a 1-0 mark with a 6.89 ERA.
Better days were ahead as Blaski was 9-4 with a 3.18 ERA in his sophomore season. Last year, he was 12-2 with 1.62 ERA, but more importantly, the Pioneers won the World Series.
Guess who was the MVP of that 2011 event in Wisconsin?
Blaski of course.
Capping off his collegiate career, Blaski became the best D3 pitcher in the land, compiling a sterling 13-1 record with a 1.23 ERA. The Pioneers as a team also won another World Series.
As good as Marietta's pitching staff was, it's still hard to imagine the Etta Express repeating as national champions without Blaski on the hill.
Anyways, the Milwaukee Brewers were all along apparently keeping notes on Blaski.
They, I think, won't regret their decision.
Now, Blaski will get his shot.
