You can subscribe to a podcast using iTunes which will automatically download new episodes as they become available and can sync them to your portable MP3 player. The benefit of subscribing is that whenever a new episode of a show, which you've subscribed to, becomes available, it will automatically be downloaded by your podcast software.
To use the one-click iTunes subscribe button you must have iTunes installed on your system. You can also subscribe using google, My Yahoo, Newsgator and Bloglines.
However if you don't wish to subscribe you can simply play the most recent episodes on our website or download an episode by right-clicking on Download This Episode and selecting "Save Target As".
You have to download a piece of software which will search the web to find the latest version of the radio show you want. A list of software can be found at podcastingnews.com. Always read the set-up and help guides for new software.
If you use iTunes then you must use version 5 or above. The latest version of iTunes can be found here - iTunes software download. If you are using iTunes then all you have to do is click on the "subscribe" button. This will automatically open the desired podcast in iTunes. Clicking on the subscribe button inside iTunes (next to the picture of the podcast) will then start downloading the show. All done! You can now go to step 3.
Once you have installed the podcast software to your pc, then you can choose the radio programme you'd like automatically delivered to your home computer every time there is a new show. To 'subscribe' to a show you copy the URL address of the podcast 'feed' and add it to your podcast software. Detailed instructions on how to add a feed should be provided with your podcasting software.
When a new show you have subscribed for becomes available your software will automatically download it. On completion you can listen to the mp3 on your pc or transfer it to an mp3 player (such as an IPod) to listen later or on the move.
The software will download any subsequent shows as soon as they become available. As a general rule - our podcasts will be made available shortly after broadcast. In some cases this maybe be several hours.
'Podcasting' is a blend of the words 'iPod' and 'broad casting'. It describes a process by which digital audio content can be made available over the Internet in a format that allows it to be automatically downloaded and transferred to an iPod, or similar portable music player, for playback at any time.
Nope. All you need is a computer connected to the internet. Then you can download shows via podcasting and listen to MP3 files. You will need a media player on your computer (many PCs come with Windows Media Player), and you'll also need some speakers or headphones. The advantage of transferring the downloads onto a portable player is that you can then listen to them on the go.
Due to rights restrictions music is not available in some podcasts. However our podcasts do feature all the best bits that don't include commercial music such as celebrity interviews and Gotcha' calls. If you have any suggestions regarding podcast content then please get in touch.
You should refer to the Help or Trouble Shooting section in your podcasting software. You may also want to delete the feed and re-subscribe. If you are still having problems then you may want to choose another podcasting application. You can find a list of these here - podcast software.
You need a minimum of iTunes version 5. The latest version of Itunes can be found here - iTunes software download.
You must have iTunes installed on your computer to use the subscribe button. The latest version of Itunes can be found here - iTunes software download. Only iTunes software will work with the "Subscribe" button.

Classic black always makes a significant impression, particularly in a distinctive piano finish as it is represented in this 7" x 9" elegantly sophisticated plaque. This stylish design also features an onyx lack textured center plate that is enhanced dramatically by a Florentine border, creating the perfect center stage area for displaying your message or the name of a particular honoree.
This tasteful time honored black piano finish plaque is an appropriate choice for presenting to a member of your staff who has produced the highest monthly sales, a member of your volunteer organization who has donated the most monthly hours of his or her time, or a teacher in a local school who has invested countless hours of unpaid time working with students in need of a helping hand.

If you are producing envelopes or labels, please follow the format suggested below.
Your logotype should be scaled according to the envelope size, and you should follow the proportions for publication sizes set out in Your NHS logotype section.
If you need to pre-print envelopes (for example, if you need to include an 'if undelivered' note), postal regulations and guidelines mean that the usual positioning requirements for the NHS logo (top or bottom right-hand corner) cannot be applied.
In such instances, the NHS logo or your logotype should be located in the top left-hand corner of the envelope, as shown in the example below. If this is not possible, you should use the bottom right-hand corner.
Bear in mind that, when it comes to envelopes, two-colour print is proportionately more expensive than one-colour print due to the high degree of wastage.

And I don't know that the old team with $18M in cap space is better. That's intimating that if you take last year's STAT, and put him on the Nuggets right now (who obviously have Gallo, Moz, and a better PG situation in Lawson and Miller) they would be better off than our current Knicks team. I'm not sold on that.
With STAT's health situation (mainly the back injury, trying to compensate for it, having the compensation affect his game, then having to counteract that....only to get hurt again), and his becoming less of an effective weapon with Melo and Chandler on the court...I say the problem lies there.
Not with what woulda, coulda, shoulda, oh but if we had did this, scenarios.
Denver signed Nene to a 5-year, $67+M contract, it was looked on as an untraceable contract, then they offloaded him. It can be done.

The world's corals and coral reef ecosystems are in crisis. In just a few decades, scientists warn, these "rainforests of the sea" and all their rich biodiversity could disappear completely. While corals face numerous dangers, the overarching threats of global warming and ocean acidification are the greatest, and they're accelerating the decline of corals around the world. The year 2009 marked the warmest ocean temperatures ever recorded, putting corals at risk and foreshadowing what we can expect as climate change continues. Urgent action is needed to save the world's coral reefs from extinction.
That's why the Center has expanded our efforts to conserve coral reefs. Our coral work began — and is ongoing — with defending elkhorn and staghorn corals, for which we earned federal protection for in 2006. In 2009 we filed a scientific petition to protect the 83 most vulnerable corals within U.S. waters — the corals that can benefit most from U.S. protection — as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Under pressure from the Center, the National Marine Fisheries Service released a status review of the 82 corals, finding that 56 of them are likely to go extinct before the end of the century primarily because of ocean warming, disease and ocean acidification.
In 2014, 20 corals saw victory when — after the Center filed three notices of intent to sue the Fisheries Service if it continued to ignore our petition — the National Marine Fisheries Service declared them threatened.
The protected corals in the Caribbean include Dendrogyra cylindrus, Orbicella annularis, Orbicella faveolata, Orbicella franksi and Mycetophyllia ferox, and those in the Indo-Pacific include Acropora globiceps, Acropora jacquelineae, Acropora lokani, Acropora pharaonis, Acropora retusa,Acropora rudis, Acropora speciosa, Acropora tenella, Anacropora spinosa, Euphyllia paradivisa, Isopora crateriformis, Montipora australiensis,Pavona diffluens, Porites napopora and Seriatopora aculeate.
The declines of the petitioned-for corals have been linked to numerous major threats, including destructive fishing practices, overharvest, disease, predation, pollution and physical damage from boats. But the greatest threat of all to coral reefs is carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. The world's leading coral biologist, Charles Veron, warns us that unless CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere are reduced to below 350 parts per million soon, coral reefs and reef-dependent marine life will be committed to a terminal and irreversible decline due to global warming and ocean acidification.
In recent years global warming has caused nearly every reef around the world to suffer declines. When corals are exposed to elevated ocean temperatures they are susceptible to bleaching — which means that they expel the colorful zooxanthellae algae they need to survive — and while some corals may survive a bleaching event, many will die. This risk is growing ever more dangerous because global warming increases the severity, length, and frequency of bleaching events. The more CO2 we spew into the air, the greater the consequences of bleaching will be for coral reefs. Corals face another ominous threat from the oceans becoming more acidic as they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, and this means that corals will have difficulty growing and building their protective skeletons as ocean waters become more corrosive. Thus corals that suffer from bleaching may never be able to rebuild their majestic reefs.
If corals are to survive, they need relief from each of these threats, and the strong protections of the Endangered Species Act will be a vital step toward the conservation of coral reefs and coral ecosystems.
Mountainous star coral (Montastraea faveolata)
Once considered the dominant reef building coral of the Atlantic, more than half of these corals have disappeared in just three decades. This Caribbean coral is susceptible to bleaching, ocean acidification, pollution, and disease. Already, the decline and death of this coral is outpacing its ability to grow and build new colonies.
Ivory tree coral (Oculina varicosa)
This Caribbean coral is a slow growing and delicate branching coral whose thickets provide a home to various reef fish. Ivory tree coral is considered a keystone species, meaning that its own health indicates the health of the ecosystem around it – thus, it's telling that these corals have been decimated by destructive fishing practices such as bottom trawling which has killed about 30 percent of the population across its range.
Blue rice coral (Montipora flabellata)
Only found in Hawaii, blue rice coral is uncommon and thrives in shallow reefs pounded by waves. Although this coral is usually flat and sheetlike, on one reef in Molokai it grows branches with an opening at the tip that provides a home to small shrimp. Blue rice coral is vulnerable to bleaching, habitat degradation, and disease.
Hawaiian reef coral (Montipora dilatata)
Hawaiian reef coral remains in fewer than five locations. It has the unfortunate trait of being among the first corals to bleach during increased water temperatures, and the slowest to recover. It has experienced significant climate-related population fluctuations over the last 20 years, and its small distribution makes it extremely vulnerable to extinction. Hawaiian reef coral has been considered a species of concern by the National Marine Fisheries Service since 2004.
Flowerpot coral (Alveopora allingi)
As its common name suggests, flowerpot coral resembles a bouquet of flowers. Overexploited by the aquarium trade and rapidly losing habitat, this coral is found in American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and other areas of the Pacific. Flowerpot coral has the highest bleaching response of any coral genus, making it extremely vulnerable to global warming.

text: Up to 'Brothers and Sisters' I was a big, but for me they lost it over the next few albums and I never got back into them. How could they be the Allman Brothers without Duane duh? Might've been better to have changed their name. Some of the retrospective releases have been top notch like 1996's 'Fillmore East' live. Mind you 'Seven turns ' is pretty good but I have nt heard 'Hittin the note'. Maybe I should take my blinkers off, but it's one thing to lose Duane, but with Dickey Betts also out of the band, I'm a little prejudiced.

We started our daughter, six months, on solids this past week. We did 3 days of whole grain oatmeal. She loved it, and by the 3rd day was up to a whole tablespoon. I was hesitant to give such a young baby so much but she was crying and reaching for more, and it was immediately after nursing so it has not interfered w/ her milk intake. Also we give it in the evening when my supply seems lower.
On the 4th day we introduced a banana. It was really ripe so we just mashed it up with a fork and put it on her tray. She had a few bites, and again by the 3rd day or so was up to about a tablespoon (estimate).
During these few days, she did not poop. This is not entirely unusual for her, but when she finally did, it was formed and a brownish yellow color. She didn't appear uncomfortable while going.
My mother said bananas are "binding" so we have switched to pears but now after reading about cereal being constipating on here, I am not so sure she should be eating that either. Although we are using whole grain...
Is this considered constipation? I really want her to eat cereal since our son was iron deficient at 9 months and hardly ate anything at all.

By Linda K. Smith, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Early Childhood Development
Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services
Hurricane Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, 2012. A year ago today, communities throughout the eastern seaboard experienced the devastating and tragic effects of Hurricane Sandy, which has been one of the costliest natural disasters in American history.
President Obama and the Administration's response to Hurricane Sandy was swift and timely. By the time Hurricane Sandy had made landfall, more than 1,500 personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were on the ground along the East Coast and within a week an additional 17,000 federal responders were on the ground providing assistance.
I am grateful to our partners at FEMA for all of their efforts. Communities in the Northeast experienced devastating and tragic effects of Hurricane Sandy. Communities were shattered, families were torn apart, homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, and lives were upended. Young children who develop special bonds with their child care providers found themselves without even that security. But brick by brick, block by block, we are rebuilding. The impacted communities will come back stronger and the federal government will continue to stand right by their side as we continue to recover and rebuild.
On the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we all look back at the past year. For many of our young children and families, it was a very difficult and challenging time. Our efforts have been aimed at working parents with young children, our child care providers both large and small and the dedicated staff who care for our youngest children in good and bad weather. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Child Care and the Office of Head Start provided technical assistance to agencies in New York and New Jersey to support child care, foster care, and Head Start recovery efforts. This support included developing a plan to provide child care services to families who lost child care services as a result of storm impacts to child care facilities. See some of the highlights from ACF's Region II here.
Today, as we think of our families, children and child care programs one year later, I share with you news about funding provided by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to areas directly affected by Hurricane Sandy. These funds will help our families with young children, our child care providers and our child care workforce as they continue to recover and rebuild. There's more to do. The work does not end yet, but we are partners in this effort.
Social Services Block Grants:
The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) program provides flexible funding to states in providing a wide range of services to children and families, vulnerable older adults, persons with disabilities, and at-risk adolescents and young adults. States determine the types of services, including child care, that will be provided, who is eligible to receive services, and how funds are used within the requirements of federal law.
To date $475 million has been awarded to the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland. New York state has awarded $200 million of their $235,434,600 allocation to more than 450 healthcare and human service providers and other community-based organizations. Recently, New Jersey has begun to award grants under its $226,794,105 allocation. Other grants include Connecticut, which received $10.5 million; Maryland received nearly $1.2 million, and Rhode Island received $516,428.
Head Start:
More than 100 Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) centers experienced physical damage ranging from minor losses to complete destruction. Services to children and families were disrupted in many programs. Most programs have fully resumed services to children. Some programs with severely damaged or destroyed HS or EHS centers have substituted home-based services or temporarily moved services to a leased alternate location.
ACF received approximately $95 million for rebuilding Head Start centers in affected states that suffered major or catastrophic damage from Hurricane Sandy. The Office of Head Start (OHS) has received funding requests from 15 grantees totaling $46,871,432. To date, $7,545,919 has been awarded to nine Head Start grantees in Region 2 and $352,558 to one grantee in Region 3. OHS is working to award approximately $13 million to six grantees within the next three months. OHS anticipates that additional funding requests will be submitted throughout the next year and existing funding requests may increase.
Domestic Violence Grants:
ACF has awarded approximately $2 million for domestic violence prevention and services resources including current Family Violence Prevention and Services Act grantees. The New York State Office of Children and Family Services and the State of New Jersey Department of Children and Families, Division of Prevention and Community Partnerships were each awarded $775,000. The New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women received a grant of $175,000 and the National Domestic Violence Hotline was awarded $275,000 as a cooperative agreement.
ACF recently welcomed Linda G. Greenberg, Ph.D. to our Early Childhood Development department as Senior Advisor. Linda will coordinate the Hurricane Sandy funding and recovery efforts for ACF. She has skill in managing complex and multi-disciplinary projects and I look forward to working with her as we continue to provide support and resources to the early childhood development field.
As we look back on the past year, it is important to learn lessons. Every day, including today, is a good time to make sure that you and your family have emergency plans in place. Please take time to visit our new page and other resources.
Linda K. Smith is the Deputy Assistant Secretary and Inter-Departmental Liaison for Early Childhood Development for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In this role she provides overall policy coordination for the Head Start and Early Head Start Program and the Child Care and Development Fund, as well as serving as the liaison with the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies. Her office serves as a focal point for early childhood policy at the federal level.

Each of the 600 newly released observations from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter covers an area of several square miles on Mars and reveals details as small as desks.
The HiRISE images taken from April 5 to May 6, 2010, are now available on NASA's Planetary Data System (http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/) and the camera team's website (http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu). They cover a diversity of landscapes on Mars, including scenes with sinuous gullies, geometrical ridges, steep cliffs, lava flows and many other features.
The camera is one of six instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which reached Mars in 2006. For more information about the mission, see http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/.

Seems one may have been reliant on the other.
early 15c., "to be attached to as a condition or cause," a figurative use, from M.Fr. dependre , lit. "to hang from, hang down," from L. dependere , from de- "from, down" + pendere "to hang, be suspended" (see pendant).
early 14c., "to gather, assemble," from O.Fr. relier "fasten, attach, rally, oblige," from L. religare "fasten, bind fast," from re- , intensive prefix, + ligare "to bind" (see ligament). Sense of "depend, trust" is from 1570s, perhaps via notion of "rally to, fall back on."

Hmmmm... I am new here; I thought I had answered, but if so my immortal response is now in bit heaven. It being immortal however, here it is again, if not very reliably.
I propose that one might use the words according to the following distinction: A platform (or perhaps a hood) could hold you up reliably, but a gallows dependably.
Just a thought..._________________________

That has not stopped a number of others on this site, in the
past. The quote is from Antoine de Ste.-Exupery's
"The Little Prince", a book I used long ago in
teaching second year French. Would last a semester easily,
easy yet challenging. Thanks for the offer anyhow. It is
good to have new blood here, stick around.

It seems I've done something stupid, and I didn't even think about it. I've been miserable with a cold/allergies since the middle of last week. I've been taking sudafed and nyquil off and on since then, and now my supply seems to have really been affected. Today with my pumping I've only been able to get 6 ounces instead of my normal 10. The way things are going I'll probably get close to another 6 before bedtime.
I'm planning on pumping after baby nurses tonight, and drinking tons of water. The fenugreek/blessed thistle doesn't really seem to be helping this time. Anybody have other ideas I can try? We're at the 10 1/2 month mark, and I really want to keep going to 12 months at least.

On this day (Dec. 24) in 1745, the distinguished jurist and politician, William Paterson, was born in Antrim, Ireland.
In 1747, his family migrated to America, finally ending up in 1750 in Princeton, N.J. After taking a rigorous pre-college preparatory course at local private schools, the precocious William, in 1759, entered, at age 14, the local college (present-day Princeton), where he soon was exposed to, if not indoctrinated with, the stern Calvinistic and "liberal" political doctrines of the college's distinguished President John Witherspoon.
Graduations (BA in 1763 and MA in 1766) were followed by a legal apprenticeship with Princeton lawyer Richard Stockton (later a signer of the Declaration of Independence) and admission to the bar in 1768.
The British Parliament's passage, in 1773, of the hated Tea Act led him into a political career as a "rebel." William embraced the radical Patriot cause, serving during the Revolutionary War on numerous councils and committees, in the state senate, as one of the framers of the New Jersey state constitution, and as New Jersey's first attorney general (1776-1783). He resigned this position following the untimely death of his first wife (Cornelia Bell – with whom he had three children) in 1783, and moved to New Brunswick to resume his legal practice. In 1785, he took a new bride, Euphemia White.
It is, however, as a delegate from New Jersey to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that William Paterson is best remembered. His appointment, in November 1786 as a delegate to the "Grand Convention" was indicative of the high standing he enjoyed as a dedicated public servant.
Fellow delegate William Pierce described the mild-mannered, well-spoken Paterson as "a man of great modesty" who "is a lawyer, and an orator..." His main contribution at the Convention was his June 15 presentation, on behalf of the small states, of the so-called New Jersey Plan, which was offered to counter James Madison's nationalistic Virginia (big state) Plan, which had been presented to the convention on May 29 by Virginia Gov. Edmund Randolph.
The New Jersey Plan (often referred to as the Paterson Plan) called for an essential retention of the Articles of Confederation, which greatly favored small states. The June 19, 7-3, vote in favor of Randolph's big state Virginia Plan over Paterson's small state New Jersey Plan was a temporary setback to Paterson and his small state colleagues. However, with the July 16 passage of the "Connecticut Compromise" that gave all states an equal vote in the Senate, Paterson felt that the small states had achieved all they could.
Paterson and his small state cohorts thereafter worked with Madison, James Wilson and their "big state" colleagues to complete the drafting of the Constitution. Along with his three New Jersey colleagues, Paterson signed the final draft on Sept. 17 and worked diligently to get the document ratified, which New Jersey did unanimously, 38-0, on Dec. 18, 1787.
With the establishment of the new American republic, Paterson became a steadfast supporter of the Washington administration. He won election as a Federalist to the U.S. Senate in 1789, election in 1790 as New Jersey governor, and appointment in 1793 as an associate justice of the Supreme Court – a position he held until his death on Sept. 9, 1806 at the age of 60.
William Paterson should be remembered and honored today for his masterful co-authorship of the "Connecticut Compromise" and his articulate presentation of the New Jersey (small state) Plan at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention.

Next week for work we have a special event in the evening that I am required to attend/work. I let my coworkers planning the event know that I would need time and space to pump (and I requested not the bathroom), and they have been very nice about it. The event is being held in a major league baseball stadium and it seems there are limited private areas available for pumping.
I was told that there will be a private staff room that has its own fridge and bathroom. The bathroom has stalls, so other female staff may come in and out. My coworker said she talked to a woman who works at the stadium who recently had a baby and is also pumping, and the woman said she would be okay with pumping in the bathroom. I'm a little skeeved by the idea of pumping in a bathroom, even a private one, for sanitary reasons and the purpose of the thing. I also don't think I would be able to relax to pump enough, knowing that someone could walk in. I'm not super modest, but I know I would get uncomfortable and therefore not be able to pump as easily.
But I don't want to make a huge deal and demand my own pristine room. What would you all do? I'm guessing I'll have to pump 3-4 times. My baby is 7 months old. TIA!

I gave birth to my 4lb. 9oz. son on Oct. 5th. I was induced 5 weeks early due to severe preeclampsia and IUGR. Thankfully, little Oliver was born healthy just small and fragile. I had planned to bring him to the breast immediately after birth but I was unable to follow through with that since he was having trouble maintaining his temp. He was taken to the nursery for the next 6 hours where he was fed formula multiple times until the next afternoon. I wasn't able to see him for more than a few seconds much less nurse him. I was informed that due to his small size I would have to pump if I wished to breastfeed so that his intake could be measured. I continued to pump and bottle feed Oliver to his first doctors appointment.
I had hoped that at his first visit (Monday the 9th) that I would be given the go ahead to stop pumping and start nursing. Unfortunately, I was directed to continue pumping to measure his intake. I've tried to nurse Oliver a few times between feedings but he gets very frustrated. This evening I waited until he was hungry to try to nurse him and follow it up with a bottle if needed. I let him nurse for about 20 minutes and it didn't seem he was swallowing much. I gave him the bottle directly afterward and he ate a full feeding worth. Ugh!
I'm getting very discouraged. I'm worried that when I am given the go ahead to exclusively nurse that Oliver wont take to the breast. He's very comfortable with the bottle but I really want to give him the best by nursing On a side note: I have 2 other children, Holden 6, who I had a similar experience with that ended my nursing at 3 months and Mia, 4, who I successfully nursed for 9 months.
I need some encouragement and advice.
Thank you

Lets not let facts get in the way shall we. I'm assuming the 45% pay rise you are on about was the Edmund Davis report? The one started and agreed upon by the Labour party, and only implemented by the Tories because they had come into power after the 'old' labour party Home Secretary Meryn Rees had agreed to implement it but was then ouit of power.
It seems the fact that police involved in major incidents amending/altering their statements was common practice and common knowledge at the time. Lord Justice Taylor certainly knew about it. Jack Straw ordered an Inquiry into this practice when it was first mentioned and that didn't find anything wrong in this process of statement gathering at major incidents. The way it was described is this. Immediately after the incident a policeman writes down his notes in freehand on a statement form. Days later the statement is typed up, but he could then be asked to add anything else he may have remembered or seen on that day. He could also be asked or even prompted, quite lawfully, if he had seen a particular thing. If he did he could add that info to the typed statement as well. I believe this was pounced upon by some lawyers and press as being an altered statement, ie the hand written one is different from the typed one. Nowadays the officer would be asked to submit an extra statement, but in them days that was the practice.
Being instructed to alter a statement, is not the same as being prompted for review.

As for anyone that is upset with the voting, seriously get off it. Anyone and everyone has to right to vote for whomever they see fit, and it's most due to personal taste and personal opinion. It's rare this thing is ever a complete landslide and I think that's a good thing. It means people have different fucking taste. I highly doubt anyone voted on alternate accounts, we've seen that before and it's usually more obivious. QUIT CRYING AND DOWNLOAD THE NEXT DAMN SAMPLE AND TRY AGAIN!! And remember to have some fun or ask yourself -- maybe this shit isn't for you? Most of us just enjoy creating and could care less if we win, because aspiring for fame isn't what it's all about. And where you've been and what you've done doesn't amount to shit when you brag about it, it's really all about what your gonna do next...

I run a real studio.. and make real music.. with real artists. People who say.. "I work for the love".. are usually half assing it as a hobby and cant sell a beat and use that as the excuse, nobody works for free, and if you do.. you are retarded.. I love what I do and eat off it. I am only saying shit about Robot.. cause his beat is the best.. we all have ears.. if you disagree and think one of them other dudes beats are better.. retire now and stop diluting the beat pool. People like u are the reason I get $15 for a lease.. cause u keep flooding the market with terrible beats and making the needle in a haystack theory true. I make a beat like the one u posted in like 4 minutes.. chop to mix. Cmon man.. get in touch with reality and stop smokin that crack. hahahaha.
i was trying to keep myself out of this but man, reeeaally! to be a good seller isn't exactly the best quality of a musician, or we all should assume that justin bieber is the fuckin reincarnation of Mozart.

I visited that rocbattles thing, heard some productions of the top sellers, and i'm sure that most of the people here would say they suck hard (just to say it's not only me). SO, this is another place man, is the STONES THROW MESSAGE BOARD, so go listen to some Madlib/Lord Quas, J Dilla, Flylo w/e you want then reset your idea of hip hop and come back to battle without believing your tastes are truth.

This is sort of a strange story but just read on! Any and all advice is VERY appreciated!
First of all, my husband and I have planned a trip for our anniversary at the end of next month. {Had I know this would be like this way I would never planned the trip but we can't back out now.} DD will be 11 1/2 months. I thought I could have her weaned by then but it's just not working. She loves to nurse! I hate to leave her with her grandma if she is going to cry and want me but she just isn't invited on this trip. Not to mention I love nursing her and am saddened just thinking of weaning.
Over the last nine weeks I've had strep throat four times. I've been on amoxicillin three times already and started a new round yesterday. Each time I have gotten thrush but thankfully only on one side.
Yesterday my Dr. told me I need to have my tonsils removed. He wants it done within the month and I was prescribed a 90 day supply of amoxicillin. I was still dealing with thrush on my right side from the last round and now feel it coming on on my left as well.
I'm concerned about DD getting the narcotics I will be given. My pharmacist told me she will be drowsy, be constipated and more. I really don't want her to be affected more than she already will just from me being laid up for a while.
I'm very torn and don't want to wean yet but with these two factors I feel like I need to. Most of all I feel like it's better for her to be weaned than to have the narcotics cross over into my supply.
How should I go about aggressively weaning her over the next THREE weeks. {I say three because I think she needs a week of me with no nursing before we go on our trip.} She refuses a bottle but I have thought about pumping as much as possible and storing it so she can have that. How can I go about helping her accept a bottle?
Any suggestions?

- Abstract
- The synthesis of nanotubes (NT) by layer-by-layer (LbL) coating of porous membrane templates was presented. Polycarbonate membranes containing cylindrical pores were used. The diameter of the NTs was correlated to the the membrane pore diameters and the maximum lenghts of the NTs to the thickness of the membranes. The optical properties of the nanotubes were analyzed using fluorescence spectroscopy.

Buzzing with Testosterone Fueled Accoutrements
I did it. It's done. It's bad^ss.
Keith Hernandez, say hello to the Lady Killer.
Gotta admit, since crafting the 'stache, I creep myself out every time I catch my reflection, but I fit right in here at the All-Star festivities in St. Louis. An old man in a Mets hat even asked me for my autograph (he thought I was Thomas E. Dewey until his caretaker reminded him that Dewey died in the early '70s). So I did the right thing, lied and told him I was Dewey's son.
That was a stellar start to what turned out to be a pretty disappointing day.
Because after only three outs were recorded in the Futures Game the sky turned black, thunder cracked and it rained… and rained… and rained…
A lot.
After walking the concourse for four hours, drinking my weight in beer and buying more overpriced All-Star trinkets than one person will ever need, me and my buddy decided to book.
So we met some friends, went to a bar and watched the Cardinals beat the Cubs.
Good friends, good game, good times.
And today is gonna get even better. Admittedly, I've never been a fan of the Homerun Derby. Watching it on TV is about as boring as watching Nascar: boring! But I have a feeling that being there, in right field, in prime homerun territory, it's going to be something to remember — especially if I snag some homers using the swagger and intimidation factor of my new accoutrement: the Lady Killer 'stache.
Watch out!
In order that my aging father can find me easily during and camera shots of right field, I'll be donning my 1980s era Montreal Expos jersey and cap — making this a special occasion indeed.
So here we go, folks… All-Star fun in full effect! I will fight my way down to get a word with Erin… and in case you missed that Lady Killer, here are some more photos:
The Stan Musial statue is quite stubborn and refuses to allow "FOX" to be shown in its entirety:
Pirates prospect, Brad Lincoln, signs autographs while secretly pouting that he's in the Pirates organization:
US America rocked by St. Louis Cardinal hats… very cool:
A kid fighting to stay on his feet… and dry:
Me, rockin' the 'Spos cap with my friends Brian (left) and J.W. (right). As I write this, Brian is heading out to Iraq for another tour. Keep he and his family in your thoughts.
Alright y'all… hate me 'cuz I'm gonna catch a homerun tonight, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right (even when I'm wrong).

Great pics! Thanks for sharing, you lucky bas…guy! Your porn 'stache is awesome but needs a whocka-whocka soundtrack to go with it…get the interns on that, will ya?
Cal — I hope so too. Will do, dude. Chill.
Jonestein — I like the sound of that yo! I'll work on gettin' a band to follow me around.
Julia — Thanks! More reportage to come…
The 'stache is quite awesome, despite the fact that I'm a tiny bit creeped out by it. Thanks to Brian for heading back out there. True hero. 🙂 Good luck with Erin, and take lots of pictures. I'm still jealous you get to go to these things while I'm stuck in San Diego, packing up an apartment.
YO…I will also be attending the Derby tonight, and sitting in the right field bleachers! Section 507, top row, in the powder blue McGee. Come on up and say hello.
Jen — At least the weather's nice! I'm glad I'm not the only one creeped out by my own image😉
Chris — Mos def!
Cal — Okay, dude. I gotchya.
I about a month people will be thinking you are Keith Hernandez's little borther with the killer 70's 'stache.
Montreal Expos. Well then you have to go down and chat with Rays Bullpen Coach Bobby Ramos, who was the back-up catcher behind Gary Carter in all those years in Montreal.
He has some great stories, and do not be surprised if he does a dance or two during the events.
He is a dancer that Ramos.
Awesome that you got to hit the Futures game, but sadly it was a rain-shortened event. I wish I was there.
Rays Renegade
I like your stache! Definitely "lady killer." Just make sure you don't get beer or food in it while you're talking to Erin. Big turn off.
Good luck with everything, I think the 'stache will help you out a ton.
have fun tonight! i loved going to all the festivities in Pittsburgh in '06. keep the pic coming I'd love to see all the action. (don't really appreciate that low blow about the Pirates organization, but hey its the truth)
RR — I'm close to the NL bullpen but might saunter over there and holla at Ramos. Thanks for lookin' out!
Jane — I'll make sure to have my hanky to take care of such unwanted material (stole the hanky from a Twins fan during the '87 WS).
Dillon — Thanks, man.
Pittpeas — Yeah, often (especially in Pittsburgh) the truth DOES hurt.
Tell him Cliff, his Season Ticket buddy down in the RF corner at the Trop sent you over there. Both Bobby and Scott Cursi are friends of mine.
Ask him to show you his motorcycle dance.
Rays Renegade
RR — Sweet! I definitely will! Thanks!
Firstly, Brian's the MAN… the HERO… hope he gets back safe
The ..tache, not sure about, had one for years, somewhat bushier than yours, but that was how you wore them then, the best thing I can remember about having a tache was…
no matter, what, who or whom you did the night before, one lick of that upper lip and you'll quickly remember….
have fun at the Derby tonight..
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Well, I now hope Albert wins, because Grady isn't going to be in it this year like he was last year. :} Bet your happy about a Tribe fan rooting for Albert, huh?🙂 Hahaha. & Well I dont think they have gave up..but I can tell there as miserable as I am right now. Victor is not hitting well, and he is going to be representing us in the All Star Game! Which doesnt make sense.. and every time a homer from the other team is hit off one of our pitchers, they run for it but when they see it go out of the park they just stare at it, like they are shocked. I honestly dont blame them.
Jeff – So this is where you hang out. LOL! Nice Expos hat. Hope you have a BLAST and that that cap and jersery can get you noticed by your dad! Enjoy!
I don't know if it is the hat, the glasses, or the 'stache, but it works. Don't be surprised if Erin Andrews herself swoons. And it won't be because of the brain damage she suffered the other day…
The Expos hat is quite classic. I bet you could get $1.25 on eBay for that thing.
Seriously, though. You are a lucky guy. Have a great time and make sure you keep updating the pics–they are as close as some of us is ever going to get! Enjoy!
Dewey's son or Giambi's younger brother?? Have a wonderful time. I'm still jealous.
Very nice Lady Killer picture. Haha keep on commenting Jeff, and good luck with the All Star game
-Cal's Corner
Digging the stash. Now everybody has one in the Cards, I wish I could grow a stash. 19 years and I can only grow a bad shaped beard. I want a Cardinal's stash.
Giambino bareeeely pulled it off.. Bruney tried this year.. the porn 'stache is just too 2008.. But because it's you, I'll give you the propz, lol.😉
All-Star festivities looks juicy.
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Doesn't the restraining order stipulate that you hafta stay at least 100 yards away from Erin?
The Cardinals are great for hosting this All-Star Game, hopefully it will translate into a win for the NL for the first time in about 14 years! You're one lucky fan, hopefully you get to go to the All-Star Game in person too.
Oh my god… the 'stache. I didn't actually think I'd see one. I looked for you last night, of course, I guess I wasn't really expecting to see you. It might be wise to rid yourself of the mustache before you meet Erin. Just a thought.

- Author(s)
- Johnson, Rachel A.; Beaulieu, Sylvie F.; Gilmore, Gerry F.; Hurley, Jarrod R.; Santiago, Basilio X.; Tanvir, Nial R.; Elson, Rebecca A. W.
- Abstract
- We present colour-magnitude diagrams for two rich (approximate to 10(4) M.) Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters with ages approximate to 10(7) yr, constructed from optical and near-infrared data obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. These data are part of an HST project to study LMC clusters with a range of ages. In this paper we investigate the massive star content of the young clusters, and determine the cluster ages and metallicities, paying particular attention to Be-star and blue-straggler populations and evidence of age spreads. We compare our data with detailed stellar-population simulations to investigate the turn-off structure of approximate to 25 Myr stellar systems, highlighting the complexity of the blue-straggler phenomenon.

Training in Togo
|Training in [[{{#explode:Training in Togo| |2}} {{#explode:Training in Togo| |3}} {{#explode:Training in Togo| |4}}]]
|Pre-service training will probably be the most intense period of your Peace Corps service, as you will need to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully serve as a Volunteer in just 10 weeks. While the training period will be extremely busy, it should also be a time of excitement, discovery, and self-fulfillment. The effort and challenges of adapting to a new culture will draw on your reserves of patience and humor but will be handsomely rewarded with a sense of belonging among new friends.
|[[Image:Flag_of_{{#explode:Training in Togo| |2}}.svg|50px|none]]}}

For information see Welcomebooks
Training is held in communities that are as similar as possible to the typical site for a given project. During your pre-service training, you will live with a host family. Other trainees from your program will live in the same village, but you will all have your own host family. All of your language, technical, cross-cultural and community development, and personal health and safety sessions will take place either in your host village or a neighboring community. Current Volunteers are available during PST to assist in training and to answer your questions.
Training days are long and demanding, so be prepared. Your day will start at 7:30 a.m. and continue until 5:30 p.m., with a two-hour break for lunch and other short breaks throughout the day. On Saturdays, you will have classes from 7:30 a.m. until noon. Training is an essential part of your Peace Corps service. Our goal is to give you sufficient skills and information to prepare you for living and working in Togo. Pre-service training uses an experiential approach wherever possible. Rather than reading and/or hearing about Volunteer activities, you will be practicing, processing, and evaluating actual or simulated activities.
The 11 weeks of pre-service training are divided into two phases. Phase I runs for the first six weeks and is very intensive in French language and cultural training. Additionally, there are sessions on safety and security, medical/health, and some technical training. This first phase will help you develop basic language and cultural adaptation skills.
Phase II is also very intensive, but it centers on technical training. Language classes will continue, and technical material will increasingly be presented and practiced in French. Some trainees will begin local language classes during this phase, depending on their level of French. Safety and Security training and medical/health training also continue.
During the second or third week of training, your program director will interview you about possible sites to help identify a post that is linked to your skills, interests, and needs. During the seventh or eighth week, you will spend a week at your site. This will be your first contact with your future site and will provide an idea of what real Volunteer life is like, what work options exist, and an opportunity to know more of Togo. It also gives you a break from the intense, structured regime of the pre-service training schedule.
Technical Training
Technical training prepares you to work in Togo by building on the skills you already have and by helping you develop new skills in a manner appropriate to the needs of the country. The Peace Corps staff, Togolese experts, and current Volunteers conduct the training program. Training places great emphasis on learning how to transfer the skills you have to the community in which you will serve as a Volunteer.
Technical training will include sessions on general environmental, economics, and the political situation in Togo and strategies for working within such a framework. You will review your technical sector's goals and will meet with the Togolese agencies and organizations that invited the Peace Corps to assist them.
You will be supported and evaluated by the training staff throughout the training to build the confidence and skills you will need to undertake your project activities and to be a productive member of your community.
Language Training
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will find that language skills are the key to personal and professional satisfaction during your service. These skills are critical to your job performance, will help you integrate into your host community, and ease your personal adaptation to the new surroundings. Therefore, language training is the heart of the training program, and you must successfully meet minimum language requirements in order to complete training and become a Volunteer. Experienced Togolese language instructors teach formal language classes 5 days a week in small classes of four to five people. Language is also introduced in the health, culture, and technical components of training.
Your language training will incorporate a community-based approach. In addition to classroom instruction, you will be given language assignments to work on outside of the classroom and with your host family. Our goal is to get you to a point of basic social communication skills in French and a local language so that you can practice and develop language skills more thoroughly once you are at your site. Prior to swearing in as a Volunteer, you will work on strategies to continue language studies during your two years of service.
Cross-Cultural Training
As part of your pre-service training, you will live with a Togolese host family. This experience is designed to ease your transition into life at your site. Families have gone through an orientation conducted by Peace Corps staff to explain the purpose of the pre-service training program and to assist them in helping you adapt to living in Togo. Many Volunteers form strong and lasting friendships with their host families.
Cross-cultural and community development will be covered to help improve your skills of perception, communication, and facilitation. Topics such as community mobilization, conflict resolution, gender and development, and traditional and political structures are also addressed.
Health Training
During pre-service training, you will be given basic medical training and information. As a Volunteer, you are expected to practice preventive healthcare and to take responsibility for your own health by adhering to all medical policies. As a trainee, you are required to attend all medical sessions. The topics include preventive health measures and minor and major medical issues that Volunteers may encounter while in Togo. Sexual health and harassment, nutrition, mental health, and safety issues are also covered.
Safety Training
During the safety training sessions, you will learn how to adopt a lifestyle that reduces risk in your home, at work, and during your travels. You will also learn appropriate, effective strategies for coping with unwanted attention and about your individual responsibility for promoting safety throughout your service.
Additional Trainings During Volunteer Service
In its commitment to institutionalize quality training, the Peace Corps has implemented a training system that provides Volunteers with continuous opportunities to examine their commitment to Peace Corps service while increasing their technical and cross-cultural skills.
During your service, there are usually two training events. The titles and objectives for those trainings are as follows:
- In-Service Training (IST): Provides an opportunity for Volunteers to upgrade their technical and project development skills while sharing their experiences and reaffirming their commitment to the Peace Corps. The first IST will take place during the first three months of service. The second will occur later during the first year of service. Volunteers also attend An IST in their second year.
- Close-of-Service Conference: Prepares Volunteers for
the future after Peace Corps service, and reviews Volunteers' respective projects and personal experiences.
The number, length, and design of these trainings are adapted to country-specific needs and conditions. The key to the training system is that training events are integrated and interrelated, from the pre-departure orientation through the end of your service, and are planned, implemented, and evaluated cooperatively by the training staff, Peace Corps staff, and Volunteers.

Making a Difference
The Children's Environmental Health Sciences Core Center supports collaborative research among basic, clinical and public health investigators in order to understand the development of reproductive and childhood diseases in relation to known or suspected environmental determinants.
Investigators convert scientific understanding into effective strategies to prevent environmentally-dependent childhood disease. Additionally, the Center's community outreach arm aims to educate local and regional communities about the burden of environmentally-related reproductive and childhood diseases and effective ways to reduce them.
Leaders Across Sectors Issue a Renewed Vision for Protecting Children's Environmental Health
October 2014 -- The Children's Environmental Health Network convened a historic meeting of diverse visionary leaders, including the Center's Director of the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core, Dr. Ruth Etzel, to chart a renewed vision and blueprint for protecting children's environmental health.

Nick Locapo is a celebrity magician who'd been working professional shows for the last 10 years before moving to Columbus two months ago. Why did Locapo move to Columbus? Because there's a significant magic community and businesses here that he's working for.
So you may run into Locapo on the street around town (hint: the North Campus area is a good place to start), and he'll probably blow your mind. Just recently he had a guy so freaked out by a quick mind-reading trick that he thought he was going to have a panic attack.
Besides producing street and trick demonstration videos, Locapo also creates a live talk show about magic and is in the process of setting up live performance shows for November and December.
I've been doing magic seriously for 10 years, but I've always been into it. I did a show at Universal Studios in Disney World for five years. I was doing that show prior to moving here.
The Universal show is Universal's magic show. You're hired as a magician to do this trick, this trick, this trick and these are the jokes. Over time you make it your own, but the thing you really learn when you do something like that — I've done over 10,000 magic shows at Universal Studios — is how to stand in front of people, deliver a joke, control the audience. That's what magic is really about. It's not about the magic; it's about the interaction between me and the other person.
There are many film projects that we do. A lot of time it's just us filmmaking trailers for magic tricks. We're trying to get people freaked out so we can sell magic to magicians.
I moved here because there's a magic company here in Columbus. It was started by a couple Columbus magicians [and was purchased by] one of the bigger magic companies in the world. What we do is we come up with tricks, or buy the rights to tricks from other magicians and we sell them to the magic community. That requires, just like any other product, filming a commercial and a demonstration video. When you buy it, you get a DVD along with any props you might need. It's my job to make the tricks look sexy; get the girls to laugh, get the people to freak out so it looks good on film.
There's also another amazing thing we do here in town. We film a live show that's broadcast on the internet every Sunday night. It's a live broadcast to 6,000 magicians. Every week we have a new magician that comes to town and it's like a late night talk show. They talk about their life experience, their tricks, their work. It's usually a three-hour live show. It's just weird to think about that happening in this town and nobody has any idea.
Penn and Teller probably have the best magic show right now on Earth. David Copperfield is still unbelievable. If you haven't seen him, it's important to because he's not going to do it too much longer. When it's all said and done, he'll probably be the best magician that's ever lived. There's a guy overseas named Derren Brown. He has that side of the world convinced … he's something else, which is extremely difficult to do these days. The other guy is David Blaine. I'm a big fan [of his].
Not enough people have a reason to go out and see a magic show. On Friday night, it's "Let's go see this band." Nobody ever says, "Let's go check out this magician."
Unfortunately magic is done poorly very easily. If you see a bad band, it's not going to stop you from going to see a band the next week. If you see a bad magician, it's, "Yeah, I don't like magic." Once they have an opinion, it's hard to get them off it.

Honolulu police say officers captured an Oahu Community Correctional Center inmate Friday evening in Kalihi who escaped back in January.
The man is identified as 38-year-old Leslie Dabis. He was back in custody at around 6:20 p.m.
Police say Dabis and another man are both wanted for assault and kidnapping.
On Friday at around 8:30 a.m., the two men entered a Kapolei residence and assaulted two victims with a dangerous instrument, according to police. One of the victims, a man in his 30s, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. A woman in her 30s was forcibly taken in the incident.
Police say the woman was safe after Dabis was captured.
No word yet on the status of the other man involved in the assault and kidnapping.
The suspect is about 5-feet-8-inches-tall to 6-feet-tall weighing 160-to-180 pounds in his late 20s or early 30s with short hair, and a tattoo across upper back, which includes letters and tribal markings.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the incident in Kapolei is asked to call 911.
Dabis is an inmate at OCCC who is part of a furlough program that helps inmates reintegrate back into society, which allows them to leave the prison during the day.
Dabis left for a job interview on Jan. 14 and never returned.
Dabis has 22 convictions on his record. He was serving the end of a 5-year sentence for felony drug violations. He was also convicted of auto theft, abuse of a family member and several misdemeanors.

|These lists has been compiled by Volunteers serving in [[{{#explode:Packing list for Swaziland| |3}} {{#explode:Packing list for Swaziland| |4}} {{#explode:Packing list for Swaziland| |5}}]] based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list!

For information see Welcomebooks
This list has been compiled by Volunteers who have served in Swaziland and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have an 80-pound weight limit on baggage. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Swaziland.
General Clothing
The climate in Swaziland varies according to both the altitude and the season. You should be prepared for temperatures ranging from 40 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. You will be expected to dress professionally for your job. You will wash clothes by hand in cold water, in a basin or bucket, and hang them to dry on a line or the nearest fence. White clothes soil easily, so neutral colors are best for hiding dirt. Clothes made of rayon or nylon are good because they dry quickly and do not need to be ironed, but lightweight cotton fabrics are best for the hot climate. It does get cold in winter, so bring some warm clothes too.
- Warm coat or jacket (fleece works well and can be layered)
- Waterproof rain jacket
- Jeans (for weekends and travel)
- Two or three sweaters (lightweight cotton and wool)
- T-shirts (in neutral colors)
- Baseball cap or sun hat
- One-piece swimsuit
- Sportswear
- Good socks (four to six pairs)
For Men
- Three or four pairs of dress slacks or khakis
- Three or four cotton dress shirts (both long- and short-sleeved)
- Several casual collared shirts, such as polo or golf shirts
- One sports coat for special events
- One or two ties
- Underwear and socks
For Women
- Three to five dresses or skirts (knee length or longer)
- Two or three pairs of trousers or dressy slacks
- Five to seven blouses and other tops (short- or long-sleeved)
- Tights to wear with skirts in colder weather
- Plenty of cotton underwear and bras, including a sports bra
- Two slips (knee- and ankle-length)
People who wear larger sizes (12-plus for men and 10-plus for women) should bring an extra pair or two of shoes and sandals, as larger sizes are difficult to find in Swaziland.
- Comfortable dress shoes for work
- Athletic shoes
- Waterproof hiking boots
- Sandals (e.g., Tevas or Birkenstocks)
Personal Hygiene and Toiletry Items
All the little things you need to keep your life running smoothly are available locally at reasonable prices, albeit in a limited selection. You should bring enough toiletries to get you through pre-service training at least (including feminine hygiene products). Remember to bring a three-month supply of any prescription drugs you take, to cover you until the Peace Corps medical unit can order them.
You can buy most kitchen supplies in Swaziland (e.g., dishes, pots, glasses and utensils). However, you might consider bringing the following items:
- Plastic storage bags and containers (these can be purchased locally in larger towns)
- Can opener and vegetable peeler
- Sturdy water bottle (e.g., Nalgene)
- Cookbook or recipes
- Small packages of your favorite condiments, spices, sauce mixes, soft-drink mixes, etc. Miscellaneous
- Watch (durable, water-resistant, and inexpensive)
- Reliable alarm clock
- Small sewing kit
- Solar shower (much easier than "bucket bathing" with a cup and washbasin)
- Radio (FM/AM and shortwave), iPod, CD player, and favorite music
- Camera and film
- Binoculars
- Swiss army knife or Leatherman tool
- lightweight sleeping bag (often needed when visiting other Volunteers or staying at back-packer lodges)
- backpack,
- small tent (if you enjoy camping)
- Pictures of your hometown, U.S. historical sites, family and friends
- Small flashlight and extra bulbs and/or headlamp
- Guidebooks on the region
- Hobby materials like journals, sketching pads, pencils, etc.
- Musical instruments
- Craft supplies for projects with schoolchildren
- Games (Scrabble, cards, chess, Frisbee, etc.)

How to Make Scrambled Eggs
Learn how to make fluffy and light scrambled eggs in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine. Plus, get tricks and tips on eggs cooking time, optimal temperature and more. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
Hi. I'm Teri Tsang Barrett, the Food Editor here at Everyday with Rachael Ray Magazine. And today, I'm gonna show you how to make scrambled eggs. I know most of you thinking you know how to make scrambled eggs but you're probably a little bit more like the diner eggs where there a little bit, wherever you maybe a little bit tough and maybe even a little bit brown and burnt. And there's nothing wrong with that if you like in that way but I'm actually gonna show you how to make really creamy soft beautiful scrambled eggs. So, what we're going to do is start with the butter. We're gonna use about a teaspoon of butter for each egg and we're gonna make two servings. So you're gonna need about a tablespoon plus one teaspoon of butter and again for two servings, you're gonna use four eggs. I'm gonna crack the eggs into this bowl and for each egg, you're gonna use about a tablespoon of milk. SO I'm gonna add a quarter cup of milk and just start whisking these until incorporated. We're just gonna let the butter melt and these guys' almost done and just kinda swish the butter to make sure it kinda slicks the bottom of the pan. And the butter is ready and our eggs are ready. You can either season the eggs with salt now or afterwards. I like to do it afterwards but it's a matter of personal preference. All right. So I'm gonna add the eggs to the pan and you're gonna do this over-- you're gonna melt the butter over medium heat and cook the eggs over low heat. And since I'm using an electrical range, I'm actually gonna lower the temperature now. For scrambled eggs, it really doesn't matter if you're using non-stick or not non-stick skillet. And again, 'cause I'm using electrical range. I'm gonna take it off the heat a little bit to let it sort of catch up to the low heat. And at this time with the pan and it's still hot. So what you wanna do is sort of drag the heat with rubber spatula around the sides and kinda scoop towards the center. You can see these little curds starting to form. I like to use a rubber spatula 'cause; A. it sort of bends to the shape of this pan. But you're making scrambled eggs, it's so important to get like all the bits of the egg that have set on the bottom to make sure they're not overcooked. And the rubber spatula can actually bends sort of scrape them all off the bottom which is nice without damaging the pan as well in case you're using a non-stick skillet. So to cook four eggs in the style will take roughly 5 to 6 minutes but depending on how many eggs you're using more or less it might take more or less. But what you're looking for is a lot of really soft curds kind of like cottage cheese but a little bit bigger and sort of moist, similar again to cottage cheese, but nice and yellow. And so again you just keep stirring don't let it set. I think it's low enough. We're gonna put it back over the heat. And you wanna keep an eye on the eggs. If you noticed they start to cook too fast and you definitely need to either lowered the heat or take it off the heat again if you're using an electrical range. So once you've hit the stage or start to [unk] a little bit like soft polenta you bought. You've got probably another minute or two before it's done. Just make sure you keep stirring and scraping the bottom. So we're about 30 seconds to minute away from adding in any mixes that you like. Of course these are great on their own. I personally love adding in a little bit of chopped fresh dil or tarragon and got a little bold there. And you can have this as much as you like. I'm just gonna take a little bit of pinch, a little pinch and sprinkle it over and just stir it in. So it's been roughly like 4 ½ minutes and as you can see the curds are starting to look more and more like cottage cheese. So the eggs and the curds actually-- and the eggs have started to firm up a bit so I'm gonna add a pinch of the chopped fresh dil, so I'm gonna stir that in. So at this point, the eggs are pretty much done. If you wanna cook them a little bit more, you can. This is more of the texture I would say even ricotta if you will like cottage cheese and ricotta. And this is actually how it looks my eggs a little bit wet. And so take them off the heat. And got these gorgeous creamy eggs. And so now I'm gonna season these with salt. This one is for Bob our camera man. And this one is for me. These are delicious, they're exactly the way I like them, nice and creamy, light and fluffy, they're perfect. So hopefully you'll give this method a shot too and thanks so much for watching.
