George Sherrill tossed a scoreless inning for his sixth save of the season. Chris Tillman, as you'll see in the "On the farm" section, tossed a gem for the team's Triple-A affiliate. But, most importantly, everyday center fielder Adam Jones, now a franchise cornerstone, had the first two-homer game of his career, with four RBIs.
Turns out Jones' work over the winter to build his strength and improve his pitch selection is paying huge dividends. At 23 years old, he's already a leading candidate for breakout player of the year. He finds himself on pace for 41 home runs, 129 RBIs, 181 runs scored and 15 stolen bases. Along with his .363 batting average, those numbers would make him a fantasy beast.
Naturally, it's silly to expect Jones to maintain such MVP-caliber totals. He'll come back to earth to a degree, but deeper analysis into his numbers suggests the drop-off won't be significant. Promising signs: He's a .409 hitter with six home runs, 12 doubles and a 1.182 OPS versus right-handers this season, after having struggled mightily against them in brief stints in the majors in 2006 and 2007, and managing a ho-hum .275 batting average and .728 OPS versus that side in 2008. Jones is also a .326 hitter with a 1.059 OPS in his road games, compared to .383/1.105 at home, splits that suggest he's not merely capitalizing upon the favorable confines of his home ballpark.
In short, that shows Jones' performance is every bit legitimate, and not fueled solely by matchups. Another fun fact: Among the pitchers against whom he already has at least two hits or one home run this season are Joba Chamberlain, Brian Fuentes, Matt Garza, Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia, James Shields, Kevin Slowey and Andy Sonnanstine (against whom he now has two doubles and two home runs). Wow, an impressive group.
It's tough to call Jones a guy to buy, hot as he has been. But if you're his owner, not in any way is he shaping up as a sell-high candidate. Enjoy the ride.
Previous editions: May 12: No win, but Johan strong | May 11: Soria lands on DL
• Jayson Werth stole four bases, including second, third and home in the same inning, becoming the first player since Eric Young in 1996 to accomplish the latter feat. What you might know about Werth is that he can hit; he's a .284 hitter with a .875 OPS who has hit 38 home runs in 778 at-bats in his Phillies career. What you might not realize is that he's as talented a base-stealer as slugger, successfully stealing 34 bases in 37 tries in that time. When I call him a 25/25 candidate, I'm not exaggerating his talents.
• Matt Capps returned from his elbow injury in a non-save situation, and it was an adventure, as he loaded the bases yet escaped without allowing a run. He had two strikeouts, but the two walks tell me he might not yet be back to 100 percent. Fortunately for Capps, because the Pirates lack any decent alternatives means he'll be allowed to work through it.
• Apparently a player can lose his job while sidelined by injury. Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said Tuesday that Scott Downs will remain the team's closer even after B.J. Ryan's potential return from shoulder and back injuries this weekend. Downs has a 1.99 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 162 games since 2007, and receives the vote of confidence despite having served up three runs on five hits in his most recent outing, a non-save situation on May 9. There's no guarantee Ryan will ever reclaim his job this year, though it's not impossible to think he might. He's going to have to earn it. Based on how poorly he pitched in the spring and early regular season, I think it'll take some time.
• Defending American League batting champion Joe Mauer is up to his old tricks, going 2-for-3 to raise his batting average to a nice, round .500 in his first 10 games since returning from the DL. But more notable was that he belted his fourth home run, marking the first time in his career that he has managed that many homers in any 10-game span. The knock on Mauer in recent years is that, for all his ability to hit for average, he offers little power. Today, he finds himself on pace for a career-best 20 homers (56 if you prorate for the number of games he has remaining), and he's 26 years old. It's still early, but it's entirely possible he'll get into the 20s in the category, if he can stay healthy.
• Ubaldo Jimenez turned in a third consecutive quality start, limiting the Astros to one run on seven hits in seven innings. That he has faced the Giants (twice) and Astros, two bottom-10 offenses, has played in Jimenez's favor, but from a pure talent perspective it's nice to see him with 15 strikeouts compared to three walks during that span. Consider buying.
• You can't ask for more contrast: Luke Hochevar, 5-0 with a 0.90 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Omaha before his recall this week, was shelled for eight runs in two innings in his first start of 2009 for the Royals. One outing might not be much to get an accurate read on a pitcher, but that it came against the light-hitting Athletics is a concern. Hochevar has a 3.28 ERA in 19 career starts at the Triple-A level, and 5.98 in 24 starts at the big-league level, so let's just say that the "Quadruple-A player" sticker has been almost fully peeled from its backing, and ready to be affixed if he's similarly poor his next couple of turns.
• Joe Beimel blew his first save chance of the season, serving up a walk-off three-run homer to Pablo Sandoval to move his Nationals into a tie for first place in the majors with 10 blown saves. Washington's bullpen has 10 losses, most in the majors, and a 6.02 ERA, third-worst, and at this point it's anyone's guess who, if anyone, will step up to grab this closer's job in the long haul. Even if you think it might be Joel Hanrahan, who recorded the save this past Saturday, be aware he has allowed two runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings in his past four outings (the Saturday game included). He's largely ineffective right now.

Brad Hawpe, Rockies
Not that it's tough for a hitter to succeed in the thin air of Coors Field, but Hawpe has taken it to another level so far this season. With his 4-for-4, 5-RBI performance on Tuesday, he's now batting .419 (18-for-43) in 12 games at Coors this year
Roy Halladay, Blue Jays
Halladay turned in his first complete game of the season, his 36th since 2003 and 41st of his career, limiting the Yankees to one run on five hits while striking out five. With the outing his career ERA against the Yankees is now 2.77, his best against any American League opponent. He's 16-5 in 33 career games versus New York.
One of the frustrations of being a Jake Peavy owner -- other than having to stomach his inflated 4.30 -- is that he pitches for the Padres, one of the worst teams in baseball. With his loss on Tuesday, it has now been 27 days since a Padres starting pitcher has won a game; Peavy last won for them on April 16. Since that date the Padres are 6-17, and losers of nine consecutive road games and four overall. Reliever Cla Meredith, incidentally, has half of those six wins during the team's recent slump.
• Unsurprisingly, Scott Proctor had Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, and was transferred to the 60-day disabled list by the Marlins. Critics will point to the 83 games and 102 1/3 innings he threw in 2006 under Joe Torre in New York as the primary cause, and I can't say I disagree. Perhaps it's no coincidence that both Hong-Chih Kuo and Cory Wade, each of whom breezed past 70 innings last year, are dealing with arm issues of their own.
• The Rangers activated Josh Hamilton, the No. 19 player picked overall in ESPN live drafts in the preseason, from the DL on Tuesday, and slotted him into their lineup in the No. 3 hole. Hamilton's owners have to be happy to have him back, and he rewarded them right away, hitting his third homer of the year.
• Kevin Youkilis finally landed on the 15-day disabled list with his oblique injury, the move retroactive to May 5. It's a frustrating development for Youkilis owners, but the Red Sox haven't seemed to mind his absence. They have scored 42 runs in the seven games he has missed (6.0 per game), compared to 147 in their first 26 contests (5.7 per game). Gil Velazquez was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to help provide infield depth in Youkilis' absence, which should probably be only about another week.

AJ Mass: I think we are. I've been pretty steady touting Justin over B.J. in the Upton Wars, and I don't see any reason to switch my support any time soon.
-- Full chat transcript
Brendan Roberts: Yeah, how 'bout that Justin Upton! In a keeper league, you keep Maybin, of course, but if you're asking whether I think he figures it out this year, I'd say no. He is simply overmatched by big-league pitching, especially offspeed stuff, and it shows in his amazing high K totals. Heck, he might not even figure it out next season. He's still very raw.

Wednesday's fantasy chat schedule:
Tristan H. Cockcroft, 11 a.m. ET
Eric Karabell, 3 p.m. ET
• Chien-Ming Wang tossed six shutout innings of three-hit ball in his first rehabilitation start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, throwing 49 of 82 pitches for strikes. "He's definitely heading in the right direction," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who was in attendance, according to MiLB.com. "He had great mound presence and showed some great tempo. I thought his slider was terrific." It's unclear whether the Yankees plan to activate Wang following this outing or give him another rehab start in the minors, but he's looking closer to rejoining the Yankee rotation by the day.
• If the Orioles need starting pitching help at any point soon, they can always count on top prospect Chris Tillman, off to a hot start for Triple-A Norfolk. He threw six shutout innings in winning his fourth consecutive start, striking out 10 batters in the process. For the year, Tillman is 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 10.7 strikeouts per nine innings in six starts. He's probably worth an add in all AL-only formats at this point.
• Sticking with Orioles prospects, Nolan Reimold went 3-for-5 and hit his eighth homer for Norfolk, and is now batting .396 through 30 games there. There had been some speculation in Baltimore that if Luke Scott went on the DL that Reimold might get promoted, and now Felix Pie is a candidate to be shelved himself. Even if both Scott and Pie turn out fine for now, it's clear Reimold is ready for a shot in the majors the second there is an opening in the Baltimore outfield.
• The Diamondbacks will debut a right-hander fresh out of Double-A on Wednesday, Bryan Augenstein, and like Willis, it's Augenstein's opponent who should garner most of the headlines. Johnny Cueto had a 1.50 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in his two starts against Arizona in 2008, and he has 32 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings in his red-hot start to 2009. Oh, and by the way, the Diamondbacks have a 76.8 percent contact rate as a team; that's the sixth-worst rate in the game.
• Not many hitters have succeeded against Mark Buehrle so far this season, but Ryan Garko's past suggests he might help Cleveland tarnish Buehrle's perfect 5-0 record. He's 10-for-19 in his career against the left-hander, so expect him to get a start at first base.

My eyes is not closed properly after eye surgery (right eye surgery). It have been 8 weeks. Any suggestions? (photos)

Eyelid not closing

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Since you only had surgery on one eye, I am assuming this was some sort of ptosis repair. Also, you can see when you look down that the lid does not move down well also indicating some sort of ptosis repair. If you had a congenital ptosis the muscles may be abnormal. In these cases it is common to have difficulty closing completely. You will need to use a lot of lubrication to keep the eye moist. You look quite young in these photos, and most young people adapt quickly to the eye not closing 100%.

(People who will still read...probably about ten at most)
Otherwise, continue reading...
I thought it was hard to reach level 100 in Big Bad Butte, I don't think even Spring Blovers can save people from the OP-ness of zombies in Arthur's Challenge.
At first, I thought it was only Jester+Garg that would be a problem, because the only plant that's good against both zombies is the Magnifying Grass, a non-AOE plant that costs a ton of sun to power.
But then I found out just how fast Kings can knight zombies, including knighting zombies the MOMENT they lose their knight helm, essentially making a King+Peasant combo unbeatable as long as the King is alive and not frozen.
On top of that, don't underestimate the Wizards. The ONLY way to kill them before they turn plants into sheep is to SPAM MELONS. But then what about the Jester+Wizard combo? WHAT ABOUT THAT???
And if there are lots of Wizards around, Spring Blover won't work because they'll transform the Spring Bean before you can feed it Plant Food!
And then...then there are the tombstones. Thought Ancient Egypt was bad? I did...but these tombstones respawn and summon Imp Monks too. At least they don't summon other zombie types like Knights, like some of the tombstones in regular levels do.
Last, but not least, the Gargs. All Gargs are OP in PvZ2. But when given THIS kind of support, the Gargs in Arthur's Challenge will be more OP than the Garg Primes...
Think of it, every plant gets killed/turned into sheep by Jesters/Wizards, the Gargs just run on through and if you do try to stop them, an army of Knighted Peasants will stand in your way as well.
I almost don't want Dark Ages Part 2 to be released, because then I'll play Arthur's Challenge, die before I even beat my Big Bad Butte record, and rage EVEN MORE!!!
And I'm restraining myself from a full-on caps lock blog because that would just be plain immature...
I really only made this because I'm ticked off by PopCap for making so many OP zombies in one stage, and I need to release my anger without smashing stuff or raging at specific people.
P.S. I wish George Fan still worked at PopCap, he would nerf these zombies so much...

when i discovered mmf, i was overjoyed because, 1. it's easy to make. 2. it taste really good, better than my previous fondant recipe. 3. most importantly, it holds up well to humidity...but then i found it difficult to cover round shape cakes. even if i roll it to desired cake size, i just couldn't completely smooth the sides. i end up having excess fondant/pleats on 2 sides...i didn't have this problem w/ my previous fondant recipe but i'd hate going back to it. just recently, to remedy the problem, i had to make 2 slits/cuts (on opposite sides) on the fondant to help ease out the excess fondant. good thing, i could cover the cuts w/ flowers & bows...please help,...thanks in advance
I don't know what recipe that you are using, but I found that adding about 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup to MMF helped a lot... I have gone to making Michele Foster's Delicious Fondant here on this site:
But...so far as your problem smoothing the round cakes... I would start at the "front" of the cake and as you go around the cake you GENTLY pull the fondant out from the side of the cake with one hand while smoothing it down to the side of the cake with the other hand... I hope you can get a visual of what I'm trying to say... Just make sure you are going straight down with the fondant and not dragging it to the back.
Good luck,
thanks pat! i was hoping there'd be others who can pitch in their ideas/tips..but anyway, i will definitely try this morning adding the light corn syrup you mentioned and see how it goes..as to smoothing the sides, that's exactly how i do it, just like what you said..compared to my other recipe, this mmf doesn't have the same elasticity but it's saving me a lot from using a/c since it holds up well to high humidity, that's why i really wanna find out how i can remedy this problem. i've been working on this cake since thursday w/o a/c & mmf is still A-ok ...again, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts
When you can, you should get Sugarshack's DVD... It has helped me immensely... She goes step by step and shows you how to do it... It's hard to explain some of these things... Here is her web site address:
The corn syrup does help with the elasticity...that's why I add it when I make MMF...
Good luck!
thanks again pat! i am going to get her dvd soon, in fact i've already gotten in touched w/ her to inquire...
I add glycerin to my MMF. It seems to help.
And I agree with the above posters about pulling it straight down, not around to the back of the cake.

As Ron gets closer to his Dr. appointment Friday the more anxious he's becoming. He will get the results of his recent CT scan and it is causing him some anxiety. He isn't sleeping very well and I'm sure it is the anticipation. I think he will be better once he gets his results. I sure hope so. He just came by the office and brought me the prettiest purple tulips. I have an entire flower bed devoted to the Easter flowers he has given me over the years. It's nice to go out and see all the lilies and tulips coming up each spring. I also have an ornamental Christmas tree he gave me the first year we started dating and that tree is really getting big.
This weekend was the annual medieval fair at the university. It has been an annual event since 1976.
The food is always one of the biggest attractions, Indian tacos, turkey legs, barbecue and on and on. There are too many food vendors to count. It's a fun event and lots of crafts and art works to see. They also have a lot of music and jousting events to watch. Fun way to spend a day.
Lots of people dress in costume for this event. Here is a striking looking gentleman.
Good time had by all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you had a fun week-end. I feel bad for people who have to deal with the ugly 'C' word so often. Patty at "The New Sixty" has to go about every three months for screening I think. Nerve wracking.

Linda is right. I do go through that about the week before and even though I have done this for 10years, it is still tough. The good thing though is that the relief afterwards is wonderful Know Ron will be glad when it is over.
Prayers are with you both.

, including the original 6-page story which preceded the series, which you can read for free.
You might also want to look up
P. Craig Russell
's excellent
The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde
GN series and perhaps his Opera tales, if you haven't already, as well as
Bryan Talbot
Alice in Sunderland
which is a marvelous biographical deconstruction of Lewis Carroll's life, with many visual homages to other comic book art (there's an excellent
Tintin splash page that is worth the price of admission).
As for me, I finished
Christopher Stasheff
The Warlock in Spite of Himself
, which aside from the eye-rolling mild misogyny of that sort of patronizing old-school Boy's Own Adventure on Faux-Medieval Colony World style was a mildly fun read.
Then for a minor change of pace, moved on from pseudo-historical recreationist sf/fantasy to mytho-historical extrapolationist magical realism with
Jo Graham
Black Ships
, which was shortlisted for a Locus Best First Novel Award, which I have to say it definitely qualifies for.
The back blurb compares it to
Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Mists of Avalon
, but really, the MZB book that it brought to mind was
The Firebrand
: her retelling of the Trojan War from the POV of the doomed prophetess Kassandra*.
Black Ships
is vaguely similar in having as its viewpoint character an oracle who serves as the Pythia, but this is more of an after-story, as in the aftermath of Troy, she accompanies the refugees on their way to try and find a new homeland.
Certain changes are made to the classical myth (which I'm not going to spoiler for you since the author uses the mythical "alternative" names {i.e. Alexandros for Paris} for people and places in order not to give away the story too quickly to people who aren't already very familiar with it).
Graham gives her reasons for that in the afterword, where she points out certain historical discrepancies in the myths that she decided to compensate for, by shifting those events to a time and place where they'd have been more "plausible" and make sense in the context of real history.
This book came with excellent extras: not only the author's historical notes and recommended sources, but also a glossary of people and terms, a bonus interview with the author in which she describes the inspiration for this book and her writing choices, and also a reading group guide. I must say that Orbit has done a very nice job.
Highly recommended if you like imaginative retellings of Greco-Roman myths which are reasonably historically-grounded in what little is known about the actual Bronze Age, especially books that come with substantive related extras.
I really liked this one and I'll be adding Graham to my list of authors to automatically check out at the library and buy her e-books if the story is good and the prices are right and there's a good Kobo coupon available.
* Fun fact:
The Firebrand
was the very first MZB book I ever read, which I sought specifically because it dealt with ancient proto-Greece/Rome, and only read Mists and Darkover much, much later, which I gather is not the usual way for people to encounter her works, as most readers seem to have started with those first.
A favourite time/place for which I can thank Asterix and Obelix for introducing me to.

Having trouble shedding those pounds? Wish you had extra hours in the day to hit the gym? We know the feeling. Well, we may have a solution for you, although I have to admit, it doesn't come cheap.
ets usually run on high-octane oil byproducts, however, NASA has tested jets running on fuel based animal fat. In March and April of this year, researchers at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in California tested biofuel made of chicken and beef waste fat in the engine of a DC-8 airplane. NASA hopes that the study makes people realize that biofuels do not necessarily have to come from plant sources. According to NASA, fuel can come from algae or rendered animal fat. NASA doesn't believe that fossil fuels are necessary as a fuel source.

A woman who drove her husband's body on a days-long traveling wake in Alaska and used ice from canneries to keep him cold is not accused of breaking any laws.
Officers responded to a call last week to find the body of a 78-year-old man inside an aluminum transport casket.
Police Chief Alan Bengaard told the Ketchikan Daily News
(http://bit.ly/2a4IF5q) that the woman stopped at canneries for ice to
put in the truck bed during the "rolling wake."
The man had died of natural causes.
A mortuary took custody of the body after the authorities were called.
The family can make further arrangements.
said hopefully the woman won't take her husband back out on the road,
but that he wasn't aware of any laws she had broken.

On Saturday, after a recommendation from the directorate of medical education, the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University withdrew its decision to allow colleges to start classes for the next academic year before the results are declared. The announcement was published on the university's webpage on Saturday. "this means we will be delayed by at least three weeks for the academic year. Unless, we work on Saturdays we may not be able to complete portions," said a senior faculty at the Madras Medical College.
On October 8, the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University deferred the first-year MBBS results although it had completed the evaluation of papers as it was awaiting directions from the Medical Council of India on the minimum marks to clear a paper. The university has made it mandatory for students to pass all theory, oral and practical exams to progress to the second year. Students earlier only needed a combined score of 50% from two anatomy papers, but now they have to score a minimum of 50% in each test. But the university had told colleges to start classes for the next academic year.
Following this, many government colleges told the directorate of medical education that there would be "administrative and legal" problems if students were allowed to attend classes for the next academic year before the results are declared.
A senior University official said "We wanted the colleges to start classes because we thought they would find it difficult to complete portions otherwise. But the health department said they did not want to take any risk," so we agreed.

  Alec Bradley Prensado is the line that came out after the company's Tempus and SCR lines' successful launches. The head of the colorado maduro stick has a well done little triple cap. One of the few minor inconsistencies noted with these great smokes is a little negligible veining that can be seen upon close inspection, though it has never been thought to affect the cigars.
Beginning in the very first inch if the smoke, the complex flavors have been described as a nice blending of spicy pepper with sweet counterpoints. Just towards the end, the Alec Bradley Prensado was said to build some in strength and sharpness, but it was towards the end of the reasonably lengthy smoke that typically takes about an hour from start to finish. Failing to find even one sweet spot, one satisfied smoker wryly admitted that, in fact, the entire cigar WAS the sweet spot. The biggest negative posted about this stick was how long it took the reviewer to find out about this fabulous line!
The Gran Toro vitola has a slightly different profile that is built around notes of cedar and spice. The cedar increased towards the finale with the creaminess settling into the background. Once ignited by a cigar lighter, the smoke is creamy with an easy draw punctuated by swirling clouds of swirling smoke as the cigar burns in nearly a straight line. A tad of flakiness in the ash was nearly unremarked due to the other superb qualities of these fine sticks.
Another vitola, the Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto exhibits moderate resistance, according to one review, and the mild smoke was noted to have a delicious cocoa flavor as its prevailing flavor before lighting. Some spice became evident after the mild beginning, but it became mellower in the middle, only regaining its dominance once more towards the end.
With their unexpected price to quality points, Alan Bradley seems to be changing the face of the industry with each new release. Fill your humidor today from our online cigar store so you can decide for yourself!

[Editor's Note: Today we have a guest entry from "Collector's Corner" columnist Brinke Guthrie — that's him above — who stopped looking for vintage gear on eBay long enough to engage in one of his favorite rituals involving his favorite team, the San Francisco Giants. — PL]
By Brinke Guthrie
Here's a tradition that doesn't get old — for the third time in four years (early 2011, 2013, and now 2015), I've had the pleasure of viewing the Giants' World Series trophy up close and personal,
Here's how it works: In mid-December or so, the Giants unveil the schedule for where and when they'll be taking the trophy "on tour." Back in early 2011, after the first of the Bruce Bochy-era titles, they held a trophy tour in nearby Walnut Creek at a civic auditorium kinda place, and the line wrapped around the block. I figured, "Okay, this is nice, probably the only time this will ever happen. I'll stick it out." After all, they moved to San Francisco in '58, and this was the first title since then. But then they won again in 2012, this time the trophy made an appearance at the Giants Dugout Store. That was a last-minute addition to the trophy tour, and virtually no one knew about it. No long lines — I was in and out in five minutes. (Continue reading)

I kicked rugby rat into touch – after he cheated as I lay on operating table
It was a routine op but I needed some TLC from my fiance. So where was he?
By Becka Davies, 24, from Newport
I rolled my eyes as Geraint bundled through the front door, dropping his kit bag on the floor.
'Me and some mates have set up a new rugby team,' he blurted, grinning from ear to ear. 'It's brilliant. They're friends from high school, we're going to play Sevens.'
I sighed. That's all I needed. More rugby.
Geraint had always been rugby mad. The captain of our local club he was heavily involved with all the social and fundraising events, as well as the matches. Now he'd launched a new team?
'You spend more time with your rugby mates than you do with me,' I grumbled, curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea.
I couldn't make too much of a fuss though. The sport was Geraint's passion – and I'd known that since we were childhood sweethearts all those years before.
It was only in the last five years that we'd really committed to each other, moving into our own place together and getting engaged.
'You love it really,' Geraint joked, wrapping me up in a big hug.
'Hmm, I'm not sure I love that,' I replied, looking at the pile of kit in a muddy heap next to the washing machine.
We hadn't gone to the same school as kids so I didn't know any of the mates Geraint had set up this new team with. At least I was involved with his main club. Not that it was worth complaining – I knew rugby came first!
The only thing keeping us apart was my terrible snoring, which meant we slept in separate beds.
'When are you going to get it sorted out?' Geraint asked, as he grabbed a pillow and padded to the spare room next door.
I looked at him and sighed: 'I've tried everything Geraint, I'm going to the doctor again to see what he says.'
I'd already had my tonsils out but when that didn't do the trick, medics suggested an operation to remove my adenoids.
'I'll get you booked in for surgery,' the doctor explained.
I smiled back nervously. I was keen to get my snoring sorted so I could cuddle up to my man in bed again but the thought of going under a general anaesthetic scared me.
'And don't get me started on the op itself,' I told Geraint later. 'Surgeons are going to slice into my face… eeeurgh.' I shuddered, as a wave of nausea washed over me.
When the date for the op in Heath Hospital, Cardiff, came up, I really needed Geraint there to hold my hand. But he had other plans…
'Sorry Becka, I'm out with the rugby lads. It's just a routine procedure anyway – you'll be fine.'
I sighed as I watched him head out of the door. 'Fine, I'll ask a friend to come with me then!'
Thankfully the surgery was a success but when I came round, I was groggy, swollen and sore.
'You alright then?' Geraint asked when he popped into the recovery ward afterwards. 'Hmmm…' I just about managed to mumble through the swelling.
He didn't quite check his watch but I could tell Geraint was itching to leave to get back to his team mates. Nothing new there then – rugby always comes first, even when I'm in hospital.
'It's ok, you can go. I'm fine,' I told him feebly. Geraint's face practically lit up and he vanished almost as soon as he'd appeared. 'Thanks, bye!' he smiled.
A few weeks after the operation, Geraint headed out with his rugby mates again. 'It's just a social with the boys from the club. I won't be too late,' he grinned as he grabbed his coat and made for the door.
I'd curled up for a night in but then my phone beeped with a message from my friend. Do you know Geraint is out with a girl? He'd typed.
What girl? I clicked into the message and tapped out a reply. No. I thought he was with the rugby lads.
Seconds later my phone beeped again. This time my friend had sent a picture of Geraint… but the scrum he was in wasn't at the rugby club – it was a night club. And who was the hooker he was dancing with?
I zoomed in on the photo and immediately recognised his ex-girlfriend, Carys*. What was he doing with her?
Furious, I typed out a text to Geraint and hit 'send'. I know you're out with your ex. That's enough, I stormed.
Minutes later, my phone lit up with a reply – only it was from his ex. I don't see what the problem is? You split up, you're not even together now!
I was fuming. Not together? We were engaged and living together!
I was shaking with anger when Carys asked if we could meet to talk things through. Fine, I'll be there in ten minutes, I typed back.
It was three o'clock in the morning but I wanted to get to the bottom of this now. 'No time like the present,' I muttered to myself as I pulled on a pair of old jogging bottoms and headed into town.
'I honestly didn't know,' Carys insisted when we met in the street outside the club. 'Geraint said he was single. We've been back together six months.'
I tried to keep it together as Geraint's double life unravelled. 'He got in touch with me via Facebook – look,' she went on, showing me Geraint's profile on her phone.
I felt the bile rise in my throat as I realised it was a second Facebook profile. He must have created it so he could live out his second life without suspicion.
'Sorry, I didn't know,' she went on. 'You deserve better.'
She seemed mortified but I just couldn't believe Carys hadn't known about me.
Geraint didn't come home that night, but he phoned and even sent flowers when he realised he'd been caught in the act.
I was still reeling from the shocking discovery but Carys saved the biggest bombshell for last. A couple of days later, she contacted me via Facebook.
'He was with me when you had your operation,' she told me. 'After leaving you in hospital he came to see me. We had sex.'
My mind raced as I realised all the dates stacked up. It was almost too much to bear. My fiance had left me on the operating table to have sex with his ex!
I'd heard enough and that day, I kicked my rugby rat into touch. 'Look at me Geraint,' I cried, after I'd driven to meet him at a random spot.
I'd lost weight after my heartbreak and, dressed in my pyjamas without a scrap of make-up on, I wanted him to see how much he'd hurt me.
'You did this! I can't see you any more. It's over,' I told him.
Geraint looked awful too but I didn't want to hear his excuses. He went to stay with his dad and after initially giving me some space, he begged for forgiveness.
For eight months, he pursued me, sending flowers and messages. When Geraint saw me on nights out in town, he'd buy me drinks and send them across the bar to me. But I never drank them.
It was only after we met for his mum's 50th birthday party, that I thawed. 'Can I get you a drink that you won't send back?' he asked tentatively, a nervous smile spreading across his lips.
Slowly, I relented. It wasn't easy but Geraint earned back my trust. He even proposed again in exactly the same way he had before – on Penarth Pier, with a celebration at Celtic Manor afterwards.
Now, we have a gorgeous 10-week old baby girl together and we've never been closer.
After Geraint cheated while I was in hospital, he was well and truly in the sin bin – but I'm so glad I gave our love a second try.
Geraint says: "I stupidly made contact with my ex, and one thing led to another. I had an old Facebook profile which I reactivated and used to contact her and it helped me lead two separate lives. When Becka was in hospital, I'm ashamed to say I went to see my ex and we had sex. For six months I was seeing her behind Becka's back, and pretended I was out with the rugby boys. It was the worst thing I've ever done. I'm so happy she's given me a second chance and I certainly won't be doing that again."
*Carys' name has been changed

The fact that the driver is an Arab and the incident took place at an Israeli military checkpoint may have left Israeli police with the impression that the police had been deliberately targeted, he said. The incident comes 11 days after Israeli police killed a Palestinian who they said tried to drive a vehicle into a checkpoint near an occupied east Jerusalem village. That alleged attack took place after police demolished the family home of Hossam Dwayyat, who last June killed three Israelis as he drove a mechanical digger at high speed through west Jerusalem.

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Richard North Patterson - the author of more than 20 novels, including Degree of Guilt and Silent Witness - returns with the dramatic conclusion to the Blaine trilogy: Eden in Winter, the final volume that completes the story begun in Fall from Grace.
Two months after the suspicious and much-publicized death of his father on the island of Martha's Vineyard, it is taking all of Adam Blaine's will to suture the deep wounds the tragedy has inflicted upon his family and himself.
As the court inquest into Benjamin Blaine's death casts suspicions on those closest to him, Adam struggles to protect them from those who still suspect that his father was murdered by one of his kin.
But the sternest test of all is Adam's proximity to Carla Pacelli - his late father's mistress and a woman to whom, despite her pivotal role in his family's plight, Adam finds himself increasingly drawn. The closer he gets to this beautiful, mysterious woman, the further Adam feels from his troubles, yet the closer he also comes to revealing the secrets he's striven to conceal and condemning the people he's fought so hard to protect.
An acknowledged master of the courtroom thriller, Patterson's Blaine trilogy, a bold and surprising departure from his past novels, is a complex family drama pulsing with the tumult of the time and "dripping with summer diversions, youthful passion and ideals, class tensions, and familial disruptions" (Library Journal).

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Bought home in 2009 with partner, joint ownership, partner decides to be with someone else and moves out 8mo later. I have been paying and maintaining the property since. Now she wants a partition if I dont sell or refi. I tried to refi but we have no equity and it doesn't make sense to sell because we would not get what we owe. I have always paid the mortgage (never late) and intend to continue doing so. I also have always maintained that when I can and the bank allows, I will refi the house. I am not sure what my rights are? Thank you for your help!
From your facts, your partner has the same title interest as you. Evidently, she is also on the mortgage and note and wants to be clear of that obligation. Without knowing the terms of your mortgage, I would assume that today's interest rates are lower than what you are currently paying. Another consideration is how much money was contributed by both of you in the 2009 purchase. Right now, you have all of the rights and obligations as the sole tenant to the property - and she is an owner and obligor without any possession or rights - even if voluntary. Assuming you two did not have any kind of agreement specifying your rights as "partners" in the property, it is best to work together to sever your ownership rights in the property completely and fully for both of your benefit. If not, she has the right to file the partition action to free herself from the property obligations.
I am an Ohio-licensed attorney. The information is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation. Answering this question does not in any way constitute legal representation. Contacting me does not constitute legal representation, nor is any information you provide protected by attorney-client privilege until otherwise advised. firstname.lastname@example.com a similar question
The problem that she has is that she is still responsible for that debt, even though she has moved on. That is likely to remain a problem for her. A partition action will be a problem for both of you, mostly because of the legal fees that you are both likely to waste, AND she will likely still be responsible for the debt because the bank is not going to want to let either of you off of the hook for the responsibility for payment, especially if there is no equity in the property. If you were married and tried to do what she wants to do the bank wouldn't remove her from the note.
You should talk with a lawyer who knows what they are doing in this area of the law. Someone who can talk with both of you, or both of you and her attorney if she is already represented by counsel (sounds like she might be if she knows about the concept of partition) to try to come to an amicable resolution that doesn't cost your both a bundle of money.Ask a similar question

So basically;
The girl I like is on her way to highschool (School ending in 3 days) Since I'm a year younger I'll stay in this school for a year more. I'm usually talking with her best friends and they say that she likes me and that we should be together, our towns are close (15mins away) but it all seems a bit.. impossible. Tho I really like her and i'm still thinking wtf should I do
Most Helpful Girl
Just tell her you like her. Young love. Wouldn't you think it'd be fun while it lasted?
However, I think you should wait until she actually begins her high school career, though. She'll be in a new environment, with new people, especially boys that are *not you* and she might fall for one of them. Whether you choose to tell her or not, remember this: you will get your heart broken a lot before you find the "right one", and rejection only makes you a stronger, better person. Take the plunge.00|00|0
Indeed it does, I have learned it. The fact that we're probably heading in the same high school makes me jump a bit, but as you said, environment will change, so we'll see what happens.
Most Helpful Guy
Yo man,
I understand you.
As the popular quote says "If you really love each other no distance can get between you", Let me be more clear:
Her friends said that she loves you, As you said you love her too.
No reason for you no to get into a relationship.
Plus as you said its only a 15 minute distance so distance shouldn't too big of a problem to deal with.
To sum up if you're sure that you love each other go for it, it can totally start with chatting and if it gets more serious the towns aren't too far apart.
Hope I helped and have a beautiful day!00|00|0
I wish it'd be that easy m8 but I appreciate your opinion, we'll see what happens :)
Just make sure to update me if you have any updates or any question :)

Xenko 2.0 release notes
Scene hierarchy and scene streaming
Working with scenes has become more flexible. Instead of a single scene, your game can now use a hierarchy of scenes to organize entities into levels, areas or layers, and let teams collaborate on them more efficiently.
Game Studio displays child scenes together with their parent. Individual scenes can be loaded, unload, locked and moved around.
When running your game, the default scene set in your game settings is loaded as the root scene and can be used to store persistent entities. More scenes can be dynamically loaded and unloaded from scripts and added as child scenes.
var childScene = Content.Load<Scene>("myChildScene");
To get started, take a look at the new built-in
SceneStreamingScript. It demonstrates background scene loading when passing through trigger volumes.
You can now use a scene's
Offset to move its entities both at design time and runtime.
ChildSceneComponent has been removed. We encourage all entities to be managed by a single entity manager and rendered by a single graphics compositor.
Virtual reality
Enabling VR is now as simple as a single click!
Xenko's clustered forward rendering, with its multisample anti-aliasing, makes it ideal for VR. Xenko uses a single API for every device, with native support for Oculus and HTV Vive (more devices coming very soon).
Xenko comes with a VR game sample that shows you how to implement VR gameplay, including environment interaction and teleportation:
Save valuable time by visualizing and testing VR directly from the scene editor:
Global illumination with light probes
Light probes capture the lighting at the position you place them. They simulate indirect light, the effect of light bouncing off surfaces and illuminating other surfaces.
They can make a dramatic difference to the mood and appearance of your scene.
Light probes can be placed freely and are processed per pixel. This means you can use them not only on small dynamic objects, but also large or static objects (until we have light maps for those!).
Last but not least, you can now very easily capture a DDS cubemap from current camera position in editor, for use as a diffuse or specular skybox light.
Light shafts
Xenko now supports shadow map-based light shafts for directional lights.
Our implementation uses ray-marching rather than post effects, making the shaft visible and cool-looking even if the light source isn't visible.
Graphics compositor
The graphics compositor is now a separate asset.
Rendering parameters (such as VR) and post effect parameters can be tweaked in just a few clicks.
This is just the first step towards making the graphics compositor easy to customize and extend. Stay tuned for more changes in future releases!
Improved Visual Studio experience
We now have full support for Visual Studio 2017!
- Xenko Visual Studio extension now supports Visual Studio 2017
- Game Studio recognizes Visual Studio 2017
- Games can use C# 7.0, and our script editor can recognize C# 7.0 and offer C# 7.0 refactoring thanks to Roslyn (you need to make your solution VS2017+ for it to work)
- Our internal
AssemblyProcessorwhich perform various operations on generated assemblies can now work with portable PDB (as generated by .NET Standard projects)
Programmers working with Xenko often go back and forth between Game Studio and Visual Studio. To make their lives easier, we made a few key improvements to the Xenko Visual Studio extension:
- You can now open the current solution in Game Studio directly from Visual Studio.
- Syntax highlighting didn't behave well when switching theme.
- Previously, when assets are compiling, MSBuild didn't report any progress until finished. It now displays information, warnings and errors while it compiles.
Also, our whole build infrastructure and script editor is now based on the latest version of MSBuild 2017 and Roslyn. Supporting the new VS2017 Project System with .NET Standard is just a few steps away!
Faster and lighter
In order to provide a better experience for users, we've been working hard on various fronts to make the editor smoother and more responsive. This is still a work in progress and expect regular improvements.
Also, the package size is almost three times smaller, resulting in much faster download and install time.
Breaking changes
Backward compatibility
Xenko 2.0 supports project upgrades only for projects created with Xenko 1.10 Beta. If you want to upgrade a project made with an older version, update it to Xenko 1.10 first.
Visual Studio support
Xenko 2.0 supports Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 as IDEs. Visual Studio 2013 and earlier versions are no longer supported.
When upgrading a project from earlier version, in its
.csproj file, set
ToolsVersion="14.0" as the minimum required version.
All compontents related to navigation have been moved to their own
SiliconStudio.Xenko.Navigation assembly and namespace.
Graphics Compositor
Previously, rendering pipeline was customized by magic
IPipelinePlugin at runtime. This was very hard to control. Now, most of the pipeline configuration happens at design time in the new Graphics Compositor asset.
RenderFrame is gone. Renderer are typically declaring and allocating render targets.
Known issues
- On Linux, when switching the underlying Graphics Platform, rendering doesn't occur or fail. To fix the problem, delete the cache, local, and roaming folders on the Linux host and restart the game.
- Performance issues on mobile (being worked on)
- On iOS, if
Enable device-specific buildsis toggled on (from the project properties), it's not possible to debug game code. To speed up your development manually select the architecture of your device from the Advanced tab.
- Live scripting has been temporarily disabled

I know this sounds stupid but I don't like kids at all and to me its so difficult to be nice to them because I can't fake things. lol im going on a volunteer trip in a week and I don't know what im going to be doing there.. i would prefer to be with animals or cooking or in the countryside but im too scared they tell me to stay with kids playing with them or teaching them stuff because I don't even know how to talk to them, I usually treat them as if they were adults...
its weird
Most Helpful Guy
You know what? You've got the point. Treat them as the adults. Like this they can feel as equal partner. Talk to them as to adults. Like this they learn about responsibility. Actually I truly believe you giving them a favor. I'm treating the kids the same way and no complaints from their side.
But if they're too young, let's say below 5 or 6 years, make something funny. Like voices, faces, etc.
thanks for the advice (:

This How To Enable Multi Window On Android 6.0 Marshmallow
How to enable Multi Windows on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Android Marshmallow is the latest Google owned mobile operating system that's armed with plenty of awesome and great features, the one that's being caught with so many attentions is Multi-Window.
This mode will make you able to run two apps at the same time on your screen. And this feature has been planted by Google on the 6th series of their OS.
Well a big screen will not be hard to get this mode running, but still it's fun for all. However this feature is put deep down into the sources of Android 6.0. For average users this will be impossible. But one of recognized XDA developer forum, Quinny899 has set it enabled on Androi 6.0. And Quinny899 is not alone, people on Reddit also confirmed him.
If you want to enable Multi-Window feature on your Android 6.0 based phone, then you are in luck, because Quinny899 has posted a step by step tutorials to enable the Multi-Window feature on our device. You can follow the full instructions on this post.
All you need is a TWRP recovery installed on your device, a computer and ADB drivers also a USB cable. And can be applied on both rooted and non-rooted device.
How to enable Multi Window on Android 6.0 Marshmallow?
For rooted device.
- Now download build.prop editor.
- Then search the ro.build type.
- Edit the file to userdebug via user.
- Now reboot your Android device when you are prompted to do it.
- When finished rebooting, then head to Developer options.
- And then go down to bottom option of Drawing category.
- Then find and enable Multi-Window mode there.
For non-rooted device.
- Now boot your device to recovery mode.
- Then use your USB cable to connect your device to computer.
- Within recovery mode mount your system, do so by heading to Mounts then choose System.
- Now on your computer, open a command prompt. Do so by creating a new folder from desktop, then open the folder -> right click on empty space within folder, when your finger hold shift button, then choose Open Command Window there.
- Type the following command on command prompt.
adb pull / system / build.prop
- The command above is to get a build.prop file. Open the file with Notepad++ on Windows.
- Then search and find this line ro.build.type from the build.prop file on Notepad.
- Then find the text written with user then change it to userdebug.
- Save file file now.
- Now back to command window, then execute the command below then enter.
adb push build.prop / system/
- Now open a shell using the command below.
adb shell
- You will then see an adb shell launched, type the command below and hit enter then.
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
- Now you can come out from adb shell.
- Restart your device now. By going to Recovery menu then choose Reboot -> System.
- When your device is on again. Then head to Developer options via Settings.
- Then go down under Drawing category, enable the Multi Window from there.
- Done.
Well done my friend you just enabled Multi Window on Android 6.0 Marsmallow. It's an experimental app which probable won't run as smooth as expected. But won't kill a cat just to give it a try.

All Product Details
Everitt paints indelible portraits of the great Romans—and non-Romans—who left their mark on the world out of which the mighty empire grew: Cincinnatus, Rome's George Washington, the very model of the patrician warrior/aristocrat; the brilliant general Scipio Africanus, who turned back a challenge from the Carthaginian legend Hannibal; and Alexander the Great, the invincible Macedonian conqueror who became a role model for generations of would-be Roman rulers. Here also are the intellectual and philosophical leaders whose observations on the art of government and "the good life" have inspired every Western power from antiquity to the present: Cato the Elder, the famously incorruptible statesman who spoke out against the decadence of his times, and Cicero, the consummate orator whose championing of republican institutions put him on a collision course with Julius Caesar and whose writings on justice and liberty continue to inform our political discourse today.
Rome's decline and fall have long fascinated historians, but the story of how the empire was won is every bit as compelling. With The Rise of Rome, one of our most revered chroniclers of the ancient world tells that tale in a way that will galvanize, inform, and enlighten modern listeners.

Location is fine, but the rooms themselves are depressing: old decor, danky smell, unpleasant toilet/shower. There are lots of better alternatives in the area. Check TA reviews, and go with something else.
