Three US childcare workers videotaped a fight between 3-year-old children in their care and encouraged the toddlers to pummel each other as they laughed about it, according to court documents.
The three Delaware women were charged on Monday with assault and other offences after police obtained the video. Officials suspended the licence of their employer, the Hands of Our Future daycare, the same day.
Officials say the incident occurred in March.
Clearly one of the children is crying and does not want to continue on and he is pushed back into the fray by one of the adults,' Dover Police Captain Tim Stump told KYW-TV.
A mother of a child at the same day care, Cristyal Slack, said that her four-year-old daughter was in the room and witnessed the attack when the fight happened in March.
'That pissed me off just because I feel if my daughter is around anything, I should have known,' Slack said.
'I can't ever believe in a million years,' another stunned mother, Amy Bickling, said, 'I mean I would have to see the proof to believe it.'

Gutter Wedge Downspout Screen
10 0
false pdp {"scheme":"product1_cr"}
false pdp {"scheme":"product2_cr"}
Gutter Wedge Downspout Screen-Set of 2 is rated out of 5 by 12.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PleasedPurchaser from It's a Winner! I ordered these downspout screens several years ago when it became apparent we were going to have a problem with leaves and pine straw blowing onto our roof. Our downpouts are all connected to black plastic pipes that go into the ground and carry the water to the street. These screens have functioned extremely well. Once or twice a year I remove the pine straw or leaves that have collected around the screens and shake out any dirt that has accumulated in the screens. My neighbors on either side have had problems with the pine straw clogging the black pipes and the gutters overflowing. The screens trap the pine straw and leaves but continue to let the water flow. I just ordered a second set to make sure I had backups whenever the originals need to be replaced. These have been winners for me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tazia from Gutter screen I received my order in a timely fashion and was able to assemble it without issue. I employed their use in two different spouts on the gutters at the rear of my house. Unfortunately I can't honestly comment on their performance as it hasn't rained yet. But they appear that they'll do the job.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wespa831 from Wedge Downspout Screen This is very easy to put together and install. It took me less than 5 minutes. Haven't had much rain in my area yet. So, I'm looking forward to a nice rain. The item I believe will work great, because now I don't have to use a hose to try and unplug my downspout.

Chelsea Clinton's putting her famous last name to good use!
The former First Daughter debuted on NBC's Rock Center Monday. During the broadcast, former President Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's 31-year-old daughter returned to her home state of Arkansas to do a story about a woman who runs a program for disadvantaged children.
Chelsea is part of Rock Center's "Making a Difference Series." The show's host Brian Williams introduced Chelsea by saying she "wants to tell stories."
Last month, Chelsea explained that her late grandmother, Dorothy Rodham, inspired her to take on this new career. "I hope telling stories through 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and non profit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you,'" she explained in a statement.
But Chelsea, who married Marc Mezvinsky in August 2010, won't be raking in the big bucks. The majority of her salary will be donated to the Clinton Foundation and the George Washington Hospital.

Zombie Economics:
"Apparently some economists have a sense of humor, dismal though it may be. Quiggin uses the 2008 global financial crisis as the focal point for examining five core macroeconomic and financial theories that have been--to use zombie terminology--killed by our current predicament. . . . Economics students and interested lay readers will find this valuable."--Library Journal
"Erroneous economic ideas resemble the living dead, writes John Quiggin in his smart new book Zombie Economics. They are dangerous yet impossible to kill. Even after a financial crisis buries them, they survive in our minds and can rise unbidden from the necropolis of ideology."--James Pressley, Bloomberg News
"I haven't done justice to Quiggin's book, so if you're interested in a readable exposition of the exploits of academic economists over the past 35 years I recommend it highly. It's the story of how economists forgot much of what they knew. Please, guys, don't do that again."--Ross Gittins, Sydney Morning Herald
"As well as exposing how these flawed ideas brought on the global crisis and how they live on, Quiggin offers his view on a new way forward in economic theory. It's time to bury the zombie."--Fiona Capp, The Age
"From the so-called 'great moderation' concept to the implications of the efficient markets hypothesis, Quiggin does an excellent job summarizing each zombie idea and explaining why it is discredited in a simple (but not simplistic) manner."--Choice
"Cleverly titled, with a wonderful and very un-academic cartoon cover and written without excessive jargon, Zombie Economics provides an elegant critical introduction and analysis of some of the key ideas of modern economic thought."--Satyajit Das, Naked Capitalism blog
"Put a bullet through the decaying brain of walking-dead economics by reading Quiggin."--Seth Sandronsky, SN&R
"Peppered with humorous quotations, theory and history, Quiggin has assembled a compelling read about the misguided intellectual economic assumptions of the last forty years and also gives possible solutions to our current financial dilemma."--Ted Stamas, Bullfax.com
"This book is certainly a good read for anyone eager to know why it is urgent that economists come up with a socially useful body of thought or suggestions."--Shanghai Daily
"[A]n excellent new book."--Jessica Irvine, Sydney Morning Herald
"When I put on my economist's hat, I admire my field's ability to publicly hang its soiled laundry in public. I encourage my colleagues in sociology, psychology, and management to read this book and leverage it to lead to a more integrated social science and, perhaps, a more socially aware economic science"--.Brent Goldfarb, Administrative Science Quarterly
"Quiggin manages to be argumentative, accurate, straight forward and convincing, while on occasion humorous. Certainly a good companion for anyone hoping to navigate the swamps of messy, and failed economic ideas."--Sarthak Shankar, Organiser
"If we're lucky, there will be more books like this one, criticizing 'market liberal' economics (neoliberalism or laissezfaire) from the left. John Quiggin . . . presents a learned and frankly social-democratic attack on market liberalism."--James G. Devine, Science & Society
"[T]his book, which is written for a general audience and is highly informative and entertaining."--Gaurab Aryal, Economic Record
"Killing vampires and werewolves is easy enough. But how does one slay economic zombies--ideas that should have died long ago but still shamble forward? Armed with nothing but the truth, John Quiggin sets about dispatching these dead ideas once and for all in this engaging book. Zombie Economics should be required reading for those who would dare reanimate the economic theories that brought us to the edge of ruin."--Brad DeLong, University of California, Berkeley
"Tempted to tangle with your libertarian uncle or your Wall Street Journal bromide-spouting coworkers? If so, this book will arm you to rebut the clever phrasemaking and slippery reasoning that has allowed dead constructs like 'trickle down economics' to soldier onward. Quiggin's clear, elegant dissection of wrongheaded notions will appeal to both lay readers and academic economists."--Yves Smith, author of ECONned: How Unenlightened Self-Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalism
"Zombie Economics provides a unique and comprehensive discussion of the ideas that failed during the recent financial crisis. But the book contributes much more. Its discussion of how macroeconomics developed, and the ideology that has grown up around it, is every bit as important and interesting."--Mark Thoma, University of Oregon
"This is a terrific book. Quiggin is an engaging writer, and the combination of quotations, history, theory, and hard evidence makes the book quite a page-turner."--Andrew Leigh, Australian National University

Happy Easter everyone! Not much time today, but here's my list for the week.
I was surprised by the use of ketchup here.
Am I on a Chinese food kick? I think so.
I'm a little late to the cupcake party, but the video here helped me out.
This website inspires me.
This is where I go when my kids are yelling at me.
I will be needing this tomorrow.
Here's what I brought you this week:
BBQ Chicken Pizza – A great twist on the usual old pizza.
Fat Witch Caramel Brownies – Gooey, sweet, and oh so decadent.

WWE has released – and then removed — a video of CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve
Austin talking to Jim Ross.
The video was created to hype new video game WWE '13 and offered the biggest
clue yet that a potential dream match between the two could be on.
Both were featured in the 13-minute video in character, and were asked to
compare their eras in wrestling. The discussion turned heated and the focus
appeared far more to be on tension between the two than promoting WWE '13.
reported that a source from THQ, the producers of the game, said that it was
removed due being "not the correct version".
Rumours have been rife about a potential Punk vs Austin match for a long time,
with fans seizing upon seemingly ambiguous clues such as Punk cutting his
famous 'pipebomb' promo in a Stone Cold shirt, and the duo trading barbs on
Twitter. Punk has also dropped Austin name in promos in recent weeks.
However, until now, it has simply been Internet gossip.
This could, of course, be clever marketing on the part of WWE, drawing on the
anticipation and eagerness of fans to see this feud and capitalise on this
attention for advertising purposes.
SunSport recently spoke to AJ Kirsch, who appeared in WWE's new version
of Tough Enough last year, a show hosted by Austin, about his experiences of
working with Stone Cold during that show.
Kirsch said: "I think for over a year now people have been wondering if Steve
Austin is going to make a return at WrestleMania 29. No fan wouldn't want to
see it, obviously.
"I do know that Steve recently had a pretty serious operation on his knee and
he's in the process of rehabbing that. I don't know if the intention is to
get back in the ring or just so that he's healthy enough to start working on
movies again.
"Punk has been stirring the pot for the past thirteen months or so the way
Steve Austin did when he first exploded onto the scene, so people are making
comparisons. It's only natural to want to see what would happen if those two
were to face off in the ring.
"Steve Austin is truly a class act.
"On the show, we were only around him when the cameras were running. And when
the cameras were running, he was Stone Cold."
He added: "I have had the chance to interact with him outside the show, at the
Raws the Tough Enough cast were part of and at Cauliflower Alley in Las
Vegas. He's always willing to talk and to offer up advice, which for me as
someone still trying to break in to WWE has been absolutely priceless.
"I don't have any doubt in my mind that he has the drive. If he wanted to do
it, the determination would definitely be there. I honestly don't think it's
on his radar right now because his last match was against The Rock at
Wrestlemania in 2003. And I think he went out, the way he did it, was
satisfactory to him.
"I think he abstained from Raw 1000 – and if there was one thing missing on
that show it was him – because his knee was in really bad shape and I don't
think it would have been right to see him on crutches or limping. We need to
see the glass shatter and for Stone Cold Steve Austin to march to the ring,
raise some hell, drink some beer and do it the way we all know and remember
Stone Cold doing it.
"If he can't live up to that, that aura of an iconic character, then I don't
think he'd do it."
And said: "He was forced out in 2003 because he wasn't healthy. It may not be
worth the risk of further, irreparable damage, to step into the ring again.
It's a calculated decision that he takes very seriously.
"He didn't look like he had lost a step at all. He would get in there and run
the ropes and take a bump by himself now and again. He lost sharp and crisp,
like he had not missed a day.
"In the back of my head I go back to that image of him moving around that ring
and think 'I don't know if he wants to, but if he wanted to, he definitely
YOU can listen to the 90-minute interview with AJ Kirsch in full on The One
Sided Ring Podcast. Topics include what AJ really thought about his coaches
and fellow students on Tough Enough, being endorsed on the show by The Rock,

Contained Places
Kilkenny is a city located in south-east part of Ireland and the county town of the eponymous County Kilkenny. It is built on both banks of the River Nore in the province of Leinster. The city is administered by a Borough Council and a Mayor which is a level below that of city council in the Local government of the state although the Local Government Act 2001 allows for "the continued use of the description city". The borough has a population of 8,711, however the majority of the population live outside the borough boundary, the 2011 Irish Census gives the total population of the Borough & Environs as 24,423.
Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination. In 2009 the City of Kilkenny celebrated its 400th year since the granting of city status in 1609. Kilkenny's heritage is evident in the city and environs including the historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory. Kilkenny is regarded for its culture with craft and design workshops, the Watergate Theatre, public gardens and museums. Annual events include Kilkenny Art Festival, the Cat Laughs comedy festival and music at the Rhythm and Roots festival and the Source concert. It is a popular base to explore the surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Controversy exists at the moment around the Kilkenny Central Access Scheme which is a road proposed to be built through the city centre.
Kilkenny began with an early sixth century ecclesiastical foundation within the kingdom of Ossory. Following Norman invasion of Ireland, Kilkenny Castle and a series of walls were built to protect the burghers of what became a Norman merchant town. William Marshall, Lord of Leinster, gave Kilkenny a charter as a town in 1207. By the late thirteenth century Kilkenny was under Norman-Irish control. The Statutes of Kilkenny passed at Kilkenny in 1367, aimed to curb the decline of the Hiberno-Norman Lordship of Ireland. In 1609 King James I of England granted Kilkenny a Royal Charter giving it the status of a city. Following the Rebellion of 1641, the Irish Catholic Confederation, also known as the "Confederation of Kilkenny", was based in Kilkenny and lasted until the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649. Kilkenny was a famous brewing centre from the late seventeenth century. In the late twentieth century Kilkenny is a tourist and creative centre.
The Heritage Council offices are located at Church Lane. The seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossory is at St. Mary's Cathedral and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cashel and Ossory is at St. Canice's Cathedral. Nearby larger cities include Waterford south-southeast, Limerick west and Dublin northeast.

I came up with this recipe while mimicking a recipe for Chicken Marsala. The patties were tender and juicy and the Chenin Blanc gave it an exceptional flavor.
Thank you, Nancy. This recipe was inspired by the classic dish, Beef Wellington, and a long-ago trip to France.
I grill often and enjoy creating new variations of burgers in search of the one that is set apart from all others with a unique taste of its own.
Just like its name suggests, this burger is the result of a tribute to two important cultures in the United States: The American and the Hispanic-Spanish cultures.
This recipe was born out of my love for Gorgonzola cheese and hamburgers.
I like how the flavors play off of each other.
Japanese food is my favorite food and inspires me to create recipes reflecting passion for its flavors and textures.
The Prime Minister of Japan recently visted the US expressing his admiration for Elvis...This burger was named for one of Elvis's Songs, using Japanese ingrdients...the KOBE beef is sooo tender tha

From Our Editors
A row of artist easels stand in stark contrast to the brilliant images being painted upon the canvases they hold. Splashes of green, yellow, and red coax images to life as amateur artists take the first tentative steps toward self-expression through paint. At the front of the room, a local artist leads this group of seekers, demonstrating techniques to help students create a piece inspired by a famous work of art and, maybe, find their own ideas.
Creativity-filled scenes like this one happen everyday at Art School Studio. During accessible classes, the school provides all the materials necessary to paint a masterwork, from simple aprons to insightful instruction from a professional artist. Students learn rudimentary painting techniques the old-fashioned way: by mimicking everything from modern landscapes to floral arrangements by famous artists such as Klimt and Van Gogh. As they explore their new talents, students can even imbibe a celebratory wine, beer, or cider. In the event that these introductory classes awaken a newfound love for creation, the school also runs four-week courses to develop higher level skills, such as painting self portraits on mirrors.

I was shocked to hear that your restaurant has been destroyed by hurricane three times now. How do you pick yourself up after this to carry on?
We have always endured hardships in this region since we first settled here in the early 1700s and we are a very tight knit group of people when it comes to helping each other out. It is just something we know, that only by the help of God and each other, things will always come together. So you roll up your sleeves and get moving each and every time.
Were you at the restaurant when the hurricanes hit?
I was not here at the restaurant during the brunt of the storm, but arrived right after the storm was safely out of our area.
Have you ever thought about living somewhere else, where hurricanes do not occur?
I do love my home, Louisiana, and I don't think that anything could run me out that easily. Anyone who has ever seen the Atchafalaya basin will agree that there is no place more appealing to the soul and heart, so to answer that question, no.
Had you heard about Jamie before?
Yes. Who has not heard about Jamie and his talent and also his great style of cooking? I was very excited to have an opportunity to work with him. I was really honored that he found it in his heart to come and do what he did for me and my people.
What did you think about his cooking?
His cooking style is very much like my own, in that we both like our fresh herbs and take deep pride in our roots. I enjoyed working and learning about his style of cooking.
At times on the show it looked as if the dinner that you were preparing with Jamie would not happen – was this true?
Not for one minute did I ever think that we would not pull this off! It is not in our nature to fail around here. We just dig in and work harder and that's just what we did.
How did it feel opening the restaurant once again?
No doubt I felt like I was a kid with a new toy that he wanted all his life because this is and always has been my life's dream! All the running and craziness till that point was all so very worth it.
It looked like there was amazing community spirit with everyone coming together to reopen the restaurant. Is this indicative of the area in which you live?
Yes, as I mentioned previously our cultural background has been the reason we have kept our heritage alive for more than 300 years. We always come together for each other no matter what the circumstance is. It is our way of life here in the basin.
What is your favourite Cajun food?
I love my rice and gravy. It's hard to say since I love a lot of dishes, but probably my favorite is turtle etouffee or squirrel cooked the same way. Of course it's hard to say as there are so many great Cajun dishes
to chose from.
How did you learn how to cook?
I learned to cook when I was very young watching my Dad cook at the hunting camp and was fortunate to grow up in a community that has a small population but has always (since the early 40's) been known for its outstanding restaurants all over our state and America. I started working at the age of 12 as a bus boy and continued to learn and excel in the industry. It is a passion of mine and has been all my life.
I notice, on your website, that you take people on swamp tours. What does this involve and what do people see?
We have been doing swamp tours since the early 80's and have been very fortunate to be Louisiana's premier swamp tour in the state. It is always an adventure each and every time you go out into North Americas last remaining great river swamp. We have alligators that we have been feeding since they were babies and they all have names and love us as much as our dogs do. But you never mix your dogs with your gators because gators love dogs ha ha! But make no mistake about it, if you want to do something for the whole family it is one of the most breathtaking experiences of a lifetime.
Anything else that you would like to add?
A trip to the great Atchafayala Basin is regarded as one of the top ten things in the world to see before this beautiful place is gone forever with the ever changing planet we live on. If you have seen pictures before you can only imagine how God has blessed us with a wonderful place to call home. Thank you, and look forward to hearing from you soon. As we say here at McGee's Landing, a stranger is only a friend we have never met yet! So we welcome everyone to visit and enjoy our wonderful back yard with us. Thank you from David Allemond, Louisiana's ambassador to the Atchafayala Basin.

For some reason, I was using the config file which was in the jcr src directory, rather the muc-jcr config file.

I don't have a problem killing it, but rather ensuring that it is always started (and stays running). It is installed on a remote server which I rarely visit, so it will either have to start automatically, or be started by hand via ssh. As the latter is more likely for the short-term, it would simply quit/shutdown when I exit from the ssh session. Thanks again! S

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's main spy agency denies it unmasked the CIA's station chief in Islamabad, and warned such allegations could damage its already fragile counterterrorism alliance with the United States, several news organizations reported Saturday.
The New York Times said it was told by a senior official, in a background briefing at the headquarters of the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate in Islamabad, that the accusation was unsubstantiated and based on conjecture.
The Washington Post said it was told by a Pakistani intelligence official that the CIA had lodged no complaints with the ISI about the matter.
American news organizations reported that U.S. officials suspect the ISI exposed the identity of the CIA station chief, perhaps in retaliation for a recent U.S. civil lawsuit naming the ISI chief in connection with the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.
The U.S. lawsuits were filed last month in New York, and the plaintiffs include relatives of victims in the Mumbai attacks, which left 166 people and nine attackers dead. The assault has been blamed on the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is listed as a defendant in the suit. But the lawsuits also list the ISI and its chief, Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the Associated Press reported. The suits allege that the ISI "has long nurtured and used international terrorist groups," including Lashkar-e-Taiba.
For the United States, the recall of the top American intelligence official in Pakistan comes at a delicate time.
The White House over the past week released the results of a review of progress in the war in neighboring Afghanistan. The report included the conclusion that the existence of havens for militants on Pakistan's side of the border remained a major obstacle to defeating the Taliban and al-Qaida.
Pakistan's assistance in clearing those militant hideouts — and providing intelligence to help the United States pinpoint targets for its covert, drone-fired missile strikes — is considered crucial. A breakdown in the relationship with Pakistani intelligence could be a major blow to the United States.
The station chief, who is undercover and whose name is classified, was named last month in a legal complaint being pursued by a Pakistani man, Kareem Khan, who said a CIA drone strike last year killed two of his relatives and a friend.
In a news conference last month, Khan said he sought $500 million in damages from the station chief and other U.S. officials, and he threatened to sue if that demand was not granted. It was not, and his lawyer last week asked police to pursue a criminal case against the station chief.
The drone program is run by the CIA, and the station chief would have played a major part in choosing targets for strikes.
Khan's attorney said he was given the station chief's name by two Pakistani print journalists. The Post said the ISI official called that claim plausible and said the name was common knowledge.
The Post said according to CIA veterans who have worked in Islamabad, the station chief would rarely have left the U.S. Embassy compound and only senior embassy staff would have known his name.
China trade deals: Pakistan and China signed nearly two dozen private-sector deals worth billions Saturday, the second day of a rare visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. Including government deals inked Friday, the two sides have agreed to 35 new pacts that are expected to bring up to $30 billion of investment to Pakistan over the next five years, Islamabad said.

Reviews for Zucchini Brownies
Average Rating
"The cake/brownie is very dry. Icing is delicious. Definitely not a brownie. Recipe needs work. To dry"
"????? ??? ??????? ???????.????? ?????? ? ?????. ??????? ?? ??????. ???????? ? ?????. ???? ?????? ???."
"Glad I made only one half recipe. We did not like this at all. I will not make this again."
"I've made these several times. More like a snack cake that a brownie, but delicious!"
"Sounds weird, but turned out very well. They were very moist and you couldn't even tell there was zucchini in it. The frosting was delicious!"
"This is very much more of a snack cake than a brownie. Be sure not to cook them too long as they will dry out (i.e., glass pan). Also, the frosting is a must to make and it completes the brownie."
"This was so yummy even without frosting. I will make it again. No one knows it has zucchini in it. I leave the peelings on for fiber!"
"I would change nothing on this recipe! The brownies were moist and dense, so they didn't fall apart. The frosting was a breeze to make and was an awesome topping. Just an fyi, I wash the zucchini and do not peel them before shredding. I think that makes a difference in the consistency. Normally I am not a commenter on recipes but this one really wowed my husband and me."
"Absolutely delicious! Definitely a "cake" recipe, not brownies, but so moist and flavorful. Will definitely make again any time my zucchini get out of hand."
"OMG!!!!! These are to die for!! What an awesome way to use up zucchini. Rich and super moist with that hint of peanut butter. Will definitely be making again and again."
"These are sooo good. Not quite brownie like, more like fudge cake. No matter what the name is these are fantastic. Next time, I'll double the frosting....yummy!!"
"What a great way to use that abundance of zucchini that from our gardens. I made these for the first time for a gathering of mountain bikers. They were a big hit! Even my chocolate-loathing husband ate these!"
"I really want to try this recipe BUT I never used zucchini before. Do I just grate it and use it as is or do I squeeze it dry w/a towel? Zucchini people don"t think that everyone out in TOH land is familiar w/all types of veggies. Also, like chocolate about how much more should I add? Desperately seeking HELPPPPPPPPPP! Thanx."
"Tastes more cake-like than a brownie but will definitely make it again!"
"I did not think this cake had quite enough chocolate flavor for me. And I am not a "chocoholic". I loved the texture and moistness however and will use the plain yogurt instead of buttermilk in my zucchini cake recipe-it has a lighter taste. If I was to make this again-I would definitely increase chocolate or add another chocolate (maybe chips). Also increase sugar a bit if you do not frost them."
"YUMMY!!!!! These bars were super moist and the frosting was amazing! Had to savor each bite, couldn't get enough! Made 2 pans with all my garden zucchini, will freeze a bunch!"
"These are the most wonderful Brownies ever. Moist, and sweet, the texture is great. I made these for an event at Church, and they were a big hit. Our Pastor loved them, and took some home, as others did too.Connie Johns, Aberdeen, Wa"
"when you changed the icing did you have trouble with the icing pulling away from the brownie? I did as you did, and my icing didn't stay on when I cut a piece. "
"These are fantastic !! I changed the recipe just a bit. I added a dash of cinnamon to the batter, and changed the frosting to 2/3 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and added 1/4 cup chopped nuts."
"Great use for your extra ZUCCHINI - or - shred extra - when making ZUCCHINI bread recipe !!"

|The dyno to a gaston fingerlock move was much harder than 5.11 for me as an average height person. There are no feet for that move as well, so being stronger wouldn't even help much. It's all about reach. The climbing up to that point is already in the 5.11+ range. Cool route! I'll try it again once I grow a few inches.

|Killer route, Aiden. I'd say the lower half is low 11/10+ until the gaston fingerlock move. As for that, the move is very doable at average height in my opinion. I am 5'10" and had no problems. Sure, it's a bit hard, and I would give it 11d, but my 5'3" girlfriend was consistently within 1 inch of a solid lock. Overall great route, and don't get scared of the reach! Thanks for the addition, Aiden.

|Up there with Lesbian Love in terms of quality. Hard. I definitely whipped.
By Ned

|TRed after climbing Steppin Stone. Among the list of holds I never thought I'd have to use at Phantom Spires, there's a bomber mono about half way up. The footless gaston fingerlock dyno was definitely a different level of bouldery than the rest of the climb, but fun moves. Decided not to booty a leaver biner two bolts down from there, it was starting to get worn through, as if a lot of people bailed there.

Located in the heart of Amish country, between Berlin and Millersburg, Cricket Hill Cabins offers a quiet, secluded place tucked away in the woods.
Its owners, Martha and Mike Kline purchased the business in 2004. All three cabins (Apple Blossom, Grapevine and Wild Rose) were built by Cricket Hill's previous owner.
"The old owners established the business," Martha said. "We have a lot of repeat customers who have been coming for 10-15 years."
Kline explains that the majority of work she and her husband placed into the business was done through marketing and expansion on the Internet, such as creating a website.
Although the majority of Cricket Hill visitors have been coming for quite some time, there are also a solid number who have found the lodge through referral.
"I really enjoy meeting new people," Kline said. "That might be my favorite part of my job " the customer service aspect and getting to know the people who stay with us."
Kline and her husband currently have three boys and a new baby on the way, which makes Cricket Hill Cabins a complete family business.
"Our boys help with the mowing and even checking guests in when they arrive," Kline said, "while my husband works on repairs that need to be made. We do the business as a family."
Among the many amenities that Cricket Hill Cabins offers, each cabin is also set up with a guest book for visitors to sign and share their individual experiences.
Over the years guests have also started what they call "The Money Game.' Throughout each of the cabins, dollar bills are hidden for the next arrivals to find and hide again.
Kline refers one of Cricket Hill Cabins' greatest strengths to be the lack of television in each of the suites.
"When we first bought the business my husband and I decided that we would add television sets to all of the cabins," Kline said, "but as we read through the responses of our guests we found that they actually prefer not having a TV. People enjoy the lack of distraction."
Each cabin is suited with a fireplace, Jacuzzi/tub, full kitchen, front porch, fire ring, firewood, sleeper sofa, complimentary snacks and back deck with four-person hot tub. They are secluded in the woods making guests truly feel like they are alone.
"I love the satisfaction of giving couples a quiet getaway to bond," Kline said. "The seclusion is a great opportunity to help build relationships between couples, family and friends."
As found with many businesses in the Holmes County area, Cricket Hill Cabins has a strong relationship with its surrounding lodgings.
"We work together as competitors," Kline said. "It's great to be able to have a healthy relationship where we can offer each other business if the other is unavailable."
"I think we are all here to help draw people to the area. We have one goal. If one business is successful it helps bring business to everybody."
Although her busiest time of year is typically through summer and fall, Kline remarks how beautiful the cabins are during the winter months as well and encourages locals and tourists to visit during the upcoming season.
Cricket Hill Cabins is located at 5631 TR 351 in Millersburg. For more information or to make a reservation call 330-674-1892 or visit www.crickethillcabins.com. Cricket Hill Cabins can also be found on Facebook and twitter; individuals are encouraged to follow Cricket Hill Cabins for the latest on specials, discounts and availability.

As you can tell by my avatar picture, I am a devoted fan of 80s action films. One of the greatest action stars of the time, Sylvester Stallone, graced us by bringing the character of John Rambo to life. John Rambo is a one man army who has no problem kicking ass and taking names if someone rubs him the wrong way. For those of you that missed it, a trailer was released for a new Rambo game that is being released in 2014. In my overly biased opinion I have no doubt that it will be the best game of the year. Sorry Destiny, Titanfall, The Division, you can't stop the one man army.
This brought me to dedicate this Thursday to a NES classic….kind of. Rambo on the NES brought me one of the most confusing gaming experiences of my childhood. The majority of the game isn't spent gunning down enemies as you'd expect, rather it's spent figuring out how to get out of a jungle full of angry snakes. Or for some maybe it's spent try to get off the Army base at the beginning of the game. Either way you're probably never going to know what the hell is going on. So when you pop this game in don't expect to be mowing down Soviets right off the bat, because you have to figure your through an elaborate labyrinth first.
The high point in the game is all the special weapons you can collect from grenades to rockets to the classic knife. The fact they actually decided to add all of these in is a complete surprise to me considering the rest of the game. It actually makes you feel like a one man army which is pretty awesome. If you can actually make past that first stage maybe you'll even be able to enjoy some of these toys.
There's not much else to say about Rambo on the NES, and judging by the trailer there's not going to be much to say about the upcoming Rambo game. It really is unfortunate because John Rambo is actually a great character. I'm just not sure we'll ever see that original character transfer to the gaming world. For now you'll just have to pop in that NES cartridge and try to figure out what the hell is going on.

Edit: Constant updates are being added to the thread, I will leave the opening post as is for now and only change important things. Things like dates / versions could be a bit off from the current release.
Edit: Version 1.7 has been released (now has deck management as well!). The opening post is getting older and older. I will try to update it soon, while still leaving parts of it untouched for anyone interested in the full story.
Edit: Version 1.7 adds deck screenshot support. Check it out and leave some feedback :-)
Edit: Version 1.8 adds Arena deck screenshot support. Have fun with it!

Hey there fellow Hearthstone players,
Last month I have been working on writing a Hearthstone tracker application from the ground up.
Some notable features are:
- Tracks statistics using image recognition (no memory/packet sniffing).
- Track your and opponent heroes, wins, losses, decks, the coin, etc.
- Can capture windowed & full-screen mode.
- Filter and sort on date, hero, game-mode and deck and see a breakdown of stats.
- Very slick & intuitive interface.
We have come a long way since the initial announcement and (private) alpha releases. Improving the scanning speed, working out UI bugs and adding most of the core features.
This week I have released version 0.5. I found this release very stable and most important features are included.
Of-course some much needed features are still missing (
e.g. more statistics / filtering for arena's *added in 0.3.11). If you think something is missing, send some feedback and I'll add it on the todo list.
The most important thing though, is that the core of tracking engine/recognizer is fast and working. That's where we need your help! If you encounter any issues, inconsistencies, annoyances, etc. Please report it!
Also, if you have any ideas, suggestions or comments in general. Leave it here and we'll look into it. Of-course appreciations and thumbs up are also welcome ;-)
I have been streaming most of my coding sessions on twitch.tv/GameForFree. If you're into some hardcore coding, or just want to say hi, come visit the stream some time when I'm online.
You can follow the progress on the trackers main website: HearthstoneTracker.com
Major new releases are also announced on twitter: @TrackHearth
Where can I download it?
You can download the tracker at http://hearthstonetracker.com
It doesn't track games when I play in full-screen?
If you want to play in full-sceen, you will have to enable the 'directx' engine. You can find it in the tracker settings.
What platforms are supported?
Currently only Windows + Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 is supported. OSX / Android / iOS support will probably not be supported in the near future. I have zero developing experience on those platforms and to be fair, I am personally not interested in developing on those platforms as well.
Maybe if some good developers step up to help and port the project to Mono or any other multi-platform environment, this could change.
Statistic X is missing!?
During the beta I'm focusing on the core (recognizer engine / basic user interface). So yes, some statistics are missing. I will be adding filters and statistics for arena's very soon.
If you have any specific idea for a statistic you'd like to know. Leave some feedback!
It doesn't work!?
Please provide some information in case something does not work. WHAT does not work? What did you do? what are you trying to do? What did you expect it to do? I really want to help with issues, but I need enough information to help you.
- What is your native screen resolution and what is your in-game resolution?
- What's the color depth of your desktop? 16/24/32 bit?
- What tracking engine are you using (default or directx)
- What exactly did not work or what did you expect to happen? (provide some steps so I can try to reproduce it)
- In the trackers main menu, you can open the 'logs' folder. Open the last log file and paste it on a site like pastebin.com. I will analyze it for weird behavior.
- Any other information that you think would be helpful for me.
Thanks for helping me test this great tool and making it better!
Is this or will it be open-source?
Not at the moment. I want to see how the tool evolves and how the community is going to use it. But never say never right?
Chrome / Norton report this as malware!?
We have had several reports that
Chrome / (*looks ok now), that Norton detects this file as a 'virus' with signature 'WS.Reputation.1'. This is a protection which marks new domains and downloads as malware when they have not (yet) build enough reputation. You can safely ignore this warning.
For official information about WS.Reputation.1 see this link on the Norton site: Clarification on WS.Reputation.1 detection.
If you still do not trust it. Come visit the stream and I will answer any questions you have.
Who are you?
My name is Remco Ros. I'm a freelance (.net) software developer from The Netherlands. Currently without a project, so I took some time to learn new technologies and develop a tool for a game I like so much.
What rank are you?
At the moment, rank 15. I'm actually not a very pro player. And started developing this tool almost immediately after I received my beta key in December. Most games I play are to test the tracker and you can imagine that I'm not too focused on winning :-)
I will keep this FAQ updated as the thread expands and add it to the main website as well.
Have fun playing Hearthstone!

Having already handed Southern a lopsided loss in the first game of Saturday's baseball doubleheader, Arkansas-Pine Bluff trailed the second game by three runs going into the eighth inning.
But the Golden Lions rallied for three quick runs to force a 5-5 tie, chasing Southern ace Jose De Leon in the process.
"Almost a disaster," SU coach Roger Cador said afterward.
Junior outfielder Sean Washington saved the day with a two-run, two-out homer in the bottom of the eighth, allowing the Jaguars to hold on for a 7-5 win and salvage a split with UAPB to start a three-game Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division series at Lee-Hines Field.
The Lions used an eight-run outburst in the seventh to score a 9-1 rout of Southern in Saturday's first game.
SU struck for four runs in the first inning of the second game and appeared to be in control, but UAPB had the Jaguars in danger of being swept after knocking De Leon out the game.
UAPB coach Carlos James said the strategy in the second game was to work the pitch count against De Leon and try to do some damage after getting into the Southern bullpen.
"It was like a prizefight," he said. "You play the big, bad heavyweight champion of the league, you just kind of spar with him. You pick your chances and try to get him out."
The Lions did, but Washington had the last say.
Southern, which hadn't played a game in 12 days, will look to take its third straight Western Division series when the Jaguars (12-11, 8-6) and Lions (9-19, 4-6) complete the three-game set at 1 p.m. Sunday.
UAPB 9, SOUTHERN 1: Isias Alcantar, the Lions' top hitter, had a double, a homer, four RBIs and scored twice — all in the seventh inning.
Alcantar started the eight-run outburst with a leadoff double and scored the first run of the inning on a Jeremy Lopez throwing error. Two outs later, he capped the rally with a grand slam.
Leading only 1-0 when the inning began, UAPB was up nine by the time Southern had its turn to bat in the seventh.
Southern starter Jesse "Doc" Holliday left with nobody out in the seventh and was charged with giving up five runs. John Thigpen gave up the grand slam.
UAPB starter Jim Ploeger picked up where he left off in a complete-game 5-1 victory over Texas Southern two weeks earlier.
The senior left-hander went the distance again Saturday to earn his fourth win, allowing five hits, striking out eight and walking none. His strikeout of Brian Rowry completed a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Southern got its only run of the game on an RBI double by Gavin Webster in the seventh.
SOUTHERN 7, UAPB 5: Known for his speed on the base paths, Washington entered Saturday as the team leader in doubles and triples. He picked just the right time to launch his first home run.
UAPB reliever Grant Glass had two outs and nobody on when Harley Wiltz singled for his first hit of the day. Up came Washington, batting in the No. 9 hole.
"All I was really trying to do was put a good swing on the ball and get the next guy up," Washington said. "I just happened to barrel it up."
James went to five more pitchers after Southern chased UAPB starter Andrew Buehler with four runs in the first. Cador needed only De Leon for the first seven-plus innings.
But the Lions finally got to De Leon, who left with two on and two out in the eighth.
Reliever Josh Powell then surrendered a two-run double by Wayne Stehn to score the second and third UAPB runs of the inning.

The Amberley style in Montana Oak
The Trends range of replacement kitchen doors comes in four different oak finishes and the Montana Oak is the lightest of them all. When combined with the Amberley door you get a soft finish which perfectly compliments a beach-side or country feel in your kitchen. Thankfully, Trends doors are not only well made and beautiful, they are hard-wearing and will last many years ? always looking brand new.
Montana Oak has a very subtle and light woodgrain finish highlighted by an almost bleached appearance. Oak can sometimes have a yellowish look especially as it ages, but this door colour is far from yellow. It is actually more of a warm natural look with hints of fawn and vanilla. This makes it ideal for darker and cooler kitchens where you want to both brighten the room and add warmth and comfort. The colour is further enhanced by the door mouldings which add light and shade right where you need it.
This Montana Oak colour works perfectly with the Amberley door with its traditional styling and graceful mouldings. Each of the two vertical panels on the door are matched by the horizontal panel on the drawer front. You can't get away from the fact that this door is traditional, but when matched with Montana Oak you get a feeling of modernity which will surprise you.
Trends have outdone themselves with this colour and style and you will be pleased you made this choice.

Team of the Week
Conceding goals to Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney is nothing to be ashamed of and Marcus Hahnemann can be pleased with his afternoon's work in limiting Manchester untied to just the two goals. A superb diving save to keep out an Owen Hargreaves free-kick was the pick of a clutch of fine saves from the American.
At the other end of the Madjeski pitch, Nemanja Vidic showed again his shall-not-pass mentality, which is such an effective part of his partnership with Rio Ferdinand in the heart of United's defence. One tackle in particular on Dave Kitson prevented the Reading striker scoring when the scores were level.
David Wheater earns his corn as a defender for Middlesbrough but he is proving a valuable asset at the other end of the pitch so far this season. He weighed in with his third goal in five games at Blackburn on Saturday to earn his side a point they thoroughly deserved. He converted Stewart Downing's free-kick past Brad Friedel, and saw a later effort cannon off the Rovers crossbar.
Icelandic right-back Guntar Steinsson made his debut for Bolton in the much-hyped return of the messiah match at St. James Park. The significance of the occasion may have been lost on the new signing but he went about the task in hand admirably, showing enough strength and solidity to suggest he will be a success in the Premier League. Just ask Damien Duff.
Aaron Lennon scored early on for Spurs and went on to menace the Sunderland team with his pacy wing play. He capatalised on some hesitancy within the Black Cats defence to knock the ball past Craig Gordon after 111 seconds and Sunderland struggled to cope with the England man's movement throughout.
Claude Makelele's advancing age has not dimmed his contribution to the Chelsea cause, with the big stopper showing he is still a class act against a feisty Birmingham City at St. Andrew's. He provided good cover for his defence with his tackling and positional awareness as Alex McLeish's men gave the Blues a real run for their money.
Thomas Rosicky scored Arsenal's last goal and had a hand in their first as the Gunners went about dismantling the challenge of Fulham in typically flamboyant style. The Czech released Clichy down the left to cross for Adebayor's opener and showed great hunger towards the end of the game to race in to the box for the third after nice work from Eduardo.
Hat-trick hero Benjani finally gave the Pompey crowd something to cheer about as Harry Redknapp's side ended an astonishing run of seven goalless games at Fratton Park in emphatic style. Whipping boys Derby were the luckless victims, but Benjani still had plenty to do to claim his goals, with his third - an eighteen yard effort after Mendes set him up - the pick of the bunch.
Mark Noble showed the sort of industry and spirit that was notably lacking in West Ham's midweek cup replay as the Hammers visited Eastlands once more seeking revenge. Noble almost supplied them with it when his well struck shot was saved in the second half by Joe Hart. Noble was involved throughout and has the makings of a future Hammers captain.
Arsene Wenger will be pleased to have one African available to him at the moment and Emmanuel Adebayor provided the fire power to give the Gunners victory at struggling Fulham. Two headers - one from a Gael Clichy cross from the left, t'other from an Alexander Hleb cross from the right - were dispatched neatly and his height gives the Gunners an option that was not available to them avec Monsieur Henry.
Wayne Rooney hit a wonder goal for Manchester United which showcased his instinctive appetite for goal. It provided further evidence too of the blossoming understanding he is developing with Carlos Tevez, with Rooney getting on the end of a superb pass from his striker partner before flicking it past Hahnemann without looking up.
Harry Redknapp proudly declared himself Pompey Til I Die on Saturday and, true or no, those words will be sweet music to the Portsmouth support. His side responded with a rousing home performance, one which had that oh so important ingredient that has been lacking of late. Goals. Redknapp will be hoping to push on from here and if their home form can begin to mirror their results away from home, then Europe is within reach.

Poet Richard Fox gains insight – and material – through cancer treatment
A family faces cancer in an unfamiliar city – with help
Choosing mastectomy or not: Studying young women's surgical choices
Jeff's targeted therapy has kept his advanced lung cancer at bay.
My older brother Dennis called me one spring day in 1994 to tell me his kids were doing well in school, that he and his wife were planning to visit her parents in Florida, and oh, by the way, he had leukemia. He was 49 years old.
Dennis started treatment at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut. His doctors decided that if his leukemia could be coaxed into remission with chemotherapy, he could be considered for a bone marrow transplant at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Before his diagnosis, Dana-Farber was three long hours away, a place we never thought about. Now it was the only place we wanted to be.
A bone marrow transplant, also called a stem cell transplant, is a procedure that transplants healthy bone marrow (or stem cells) into a patient whose bone marrow is not working properly.
My younger sister Annie and I would be tested as potential bone marrow donors, but we were frightened by what a positive match would mean: surgery. I had only ever been in a hospital for the birth of my two babies, and the thought of a medical procedure such as this scared me.
My sister, who was not at all afraid of doctors, wanted desperately to be the best blood match for Dennis, partly so that I could be spared the anxiety. But we both knew, intuitively, that I would be the one, and indeed I was.
I felt guilty about being frightened, but I talked to a social worker at Dana-Farber who explained that this was okay: the emotions surrounding being chosen as a bone marrow donor were sometimes complicated.
People started congratulating me for my bravery. Others said they were envious of my opportunity to save a life, and that I was a hero. All this attention was overwhelming, especially when Dennis still had to survive the transplant.
To me, the heroes were my brother, for everything he had to endure, and Dr. Robert Soiffer, his doctor at Dana-Farber. My part was a mere drop in a very big bucket of bravery.
One morning in September, I arrived at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston to have some of my bone marrow removed for Dennis's transplant. This surgical procedure would involve drilling 18 holes into my hips.
Dr. Soiffer, then a new member of the clinical staff (now Chief of Hematologic Malignancies at Dana-Farber) told me I would have minor muscle soreness and could go home the next day.
He was right. And my matching marrow was in a bag, ready to save my brother. I allowed myself to feel incredibly happy about doing what was needed - a kind of happiness I had never known before.
Once Dennis had my bone marrow cells in his system, he had to remain in isolation for six weeks to prevent infection.
He finally walked out of his hospital room cured, just in time for my younger sister to be diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40. Thankfully, her treatment was also successful.
For the next 12 years we lived disease-free. And then it was my turn.
A routine mammogram led to the discovery of a breast tumor. Luckily it was small and detected early. I went through my treatments as bravely as I could, although during my first infusion I panicked until the chemotherapy nurses had me breathe into a paper bag to calm me down.
Eventually I became more accepting and took my medicine calmly. One year later, I was declared free to reboot my life.
Two years after my breast cancer diagnosis, I began to lose weight without trying. After many tests, and more than a decade after Dennis had dropped his leukemia bombshell, I called him with reciprocal bad news: I had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer like his leukemia.
Again, we turned to Dana-Farber and Dr. Soiffer. There was never a question of going anywhere else for treatment, even though we lived three hours away. It was like coming home.
Dr. Soiffer guided me through treatments to put me into remission so I could have my own transplant. It was a complicated process, filled with terror, magic, disappointment, joy, luck, and humor. I ended up losing my spleen and my hair before finally being told I was ready for transplant.
This was an autologous transplant, meaning I did not require a donor: my own cells would be used. Luckily, I didn't have to have 18 holes in my hips this time. Peripheral blood stem cell donation is much more common than bone marrow extraction these days.
My cells were collected via a non-surgical procedure called apheresis, in which peripheral blood was removed from me (similar to a blood donation), stem cells were extracted from the blood, and the remaining blood components were returned to me.
I was placed in isolation and given high-dose chemotherapy. Any cancer cells lingering in my lymphatic system, and elsewhere, would hopefully be toast. Then came the magic part: They returned to me the stem cells I'd donated the week before.
This was called "day zero," because it was like being reborn. Although autologous transplants use a patient's own cells, they are still filled with risks and require many weeks of isolation to avoid infection.
With little else to do while alone in my room, I began to write a book.
Some deep place inside me knew that the story of the Dana-Farber/Stone Family relationship had to be told. I told it all in three weeks of non-stop keyboard pecking, while dressed only in sterile, ugly, blue hospital gowns.
Down to the Marrow is dedicated to Dr. Soiffer, the hero of our family's legends, as well as to the incredible staff at Dana-Farber, so dedicated to saving both my brother and myself with great humor and humility. It incorporates my experiences at Dana-Farber, my family's unusual history, and everything I'd learned about coping with the unknown over and over again.
Life is full of adventures, both pleasant and not so nice. Sometimes they're frustrating, because they seem not to have meaning attached. But even when their meaning is obscured, each adventure holds a lesson that it's our job to understand.
For me, the key to surviving the fear and worry surrounding my cancer treatment was in remembering those lessons and living what I learned.
Sometimes this meant immersing myself in the terrible fear until I found a solid bottom beneath the murk. Sometimes it meant giggling with good friends while my physicians did their thinking. Sometimes it meant being brave so someone else did not have to be.
When I finally stepped through the survival door, I thought I had received the ultimate gift. But something even more special arrived with my hard-earned extension of life. I think I am a better person now. I feel less needy, less worried about small things, less self-centered than I used to be.
Is it possible that I am not only someone who survived, but that I am also living proof that tough times can sometimes make us happier?
I walked out of the hospital a well person, thanks to Dr. Soiffer and Dana-Farber. Yes, I have miles to go before I will feel completely safe again, but I am well on my way.

Certain foodies such as myself tend to obsess over certain food items and seek them out everywhere. I have a few of these items that I search all over for, and one of them is sweet potato fries. I've loved them for as long as I can remember, and until recently felt that they were kind of difficult to find. Now they seem to be popping up everywhere (at least in Phoenix) so I thought I'd compile a list. I'd love to know your favorites and if there are any I've left out.
And now in descending order starting with my favorite...
Delux - These are definitely the best I've had, and I think a lot of it has to do with the garlic aioli that they're served with. It's addictive! Plus the cute little shopping cart definitely makes them the winner for presentation alone.
FEZ - I only recently tried these and thought they were fabulous. They are dusted with cinnamon and served with a sauce similar to Delux's. After my first bite I almost put them ahead of Delux as my new favorite, but after a while they just got too sweet. I mean don't get me wrong, I can't wait to eat them again but I'd almost order them for dessert!
The Vig - I also just tried these recently and they were pretty good, but unfortunately they just came with ketchup. For me the sauce is definitely the icing on the cake, and ketchup just doesn't cut it.
Rumbi Island Grill - These were pretty good, and they did come with a special "Rumbi Fry Sauce", but I felt the sauce needed a little more flavor. The fries were crinkly though and for some reason that kinda ruined it for me. It made the fries seem more generic instead of gourmet.
Tanked Fish - These were soggy and boring. Blah.
I know Simply Burgers in Gilbert has them, but I can't attest to the taste. I feel like I'm forgetting somewhere...

GRE Pacing and Strategy: The Review Screen
One of the highly touted features of the Revised GRE is the ability of students to navigate freely within a test section. While the old GRE was (and the GMAT is) a Computer Adaptive Test, which required students to complete the test without skipping a question, the Revised GRE is a Section Adaptive Test, which allows students to skip questions and analyze the overall section on a review screen. But, as great as this feature sounds, you shouldn't skip around. On the GRE, time is extremely valuable. Time spent hunting for an easy question is time wasted.
That is not to say the review screen isn't a boon; it can be. Pacing is an extremely important part of GRE strategy, and the review screen can help you with that.
By test day, you should have an idea of how much time you will spend on each question. Here are some good guidelines for how much time you can afford on each problem type:
Of course, that chart is a lot to try and keep in mind during the test so you won't be sticking to that exactly. An easier rule to remember is, 1 minute 30 seconds per Verbal problem and 1 minute 45 seconds per Quant problem. You might think that is a short period of time, but it is all the time you will have on test day. As Jen Dziura points out in her excellent article on GRE time management, A good rule during studying is: If you can't do it within the time limits, it doesn't count. [That article is great. You should read it.]
You might be asking, what does this have to do with the review screen? Well, you can mark questions that you are unsure about, which makes it a lot easier to let go of the really tough problems. I find the question marking function incredibly liberating. When I reach my 2-minute limit on a problem, rather than wasting time on that problem, I mark it as unsure and then guess. This part is extremely important so I will repeat it in slow motion.
Don't leave it blank. Choose an answer. Then continue. By doing this, you won't waste time on problems that you can't solve in efficiently. And, there is no penalty for guessing on the GRE, so you want to have a guess marked for every problem.
Once you have finished every problem (and only then), if you have time left, the review screen will allow you to navigate directly to a problem you couldn't solve earlier. You don't want to use time hunting for the easy problems, and you don't want to waste time struggling on the hard ones. It is important to remember that the review screen can help you single out a few problems to double check, but only if you don't waste time by trying to constantly skip around. Master this pacing technique and you will find the strict time constraints of the GRE somewhat more manageable. 📝

One Direction's Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards of girlband Little Mix have married in secret according to media reports.
Malik (21), who has been engaged to Perrie (21) for two years, posted photos of himself with a ring on the wedding finger on instagram.
His account was previously private but he has made it public within the last couple of days, further fuelling speculation that he has secretly wed Perrie.
Malik ensured he had an hour alone with his fiancée before her recent 21st party celebrations kicked off, allowing some quality time before friends her Little Mix band mates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall arrived.
Perrie dressed in boho festival gear for her birthday bash. She wore a long white dress, and an embellished head-piece as jewellery, along with plenty of accessories. There is no sign of any photos with a wedding band on her finger yet.
