Rogers State University's commencement ceremony has been scheduled for Saturday, May 4, at the Claremore Expo Center.
The associate degree ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., while the bachelor's degree ceremony will begin at 1 p.m.
The commencement date was moved forward one week to the Saturday before finals due to a scheduling conflict at the Expo Center, which is the only local indoor venue large enough to accommodate the event. University officials explored other options and dates to accommodate for the conflict, but the May 4 date was determined to be best for the majority of stakeholders.
The university will be allotting tickets for the bachelor's degree commencement ceremony to all qualified graduates again this year. The university last year introduced a ticketing system for its bachelor's degree ceremony to provide fair and equal access for guests attending the event, which has experienced capacity crowds in recent years.
The ticket distribution for the bachelor's degree ceremony will begin at the Commencement Countdown event, which will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday, March 28 in the Centennial Center rotunda.
Commencement Countdown serves as a one-stop opportunity for associate and bachelor's degree candidates to order commencement supplies, including cap and gown, invitations and more. Various vendors and campus departments will be on hand to share relevant information with graduates.
For students unable to attend Commencement Countdown, the ticket distribution will start at 10 a.m. on March 28 at the administrative offices at the Pryor and Bartlesville campuses. After the Commencement Countdown event concludes, students may pick up tickets at Meyer Hall on the Claremore campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the business week.
Each graduate may receive up to six commencement tickets. Students will need their RSU student ID to claim their ticket allotment.
The tickets, which are free, provide admission to the Claremore Expo Center for family and friends attending the bachelor's degree ceremony. Participating graduates will not require a ticket. Children two years old and under who will sit on their parent's lap and guests attending the morning Associate Degree Commencement ceremony also do not require tickets.
Students will have several weeks to claim their allotment before unclaimed tickets are redistributed among students needing additional seats. All unclaimed bachelor's degree ceremony tickets will become available beginning on 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 16 at Meyer Hall, as well as the Bartlesville and Pryor campuses.
Tickets will not be required for the associate degree commencement ceremony or the nursing pinning ceremony, which will be held separately.
The university will provide a live online stream of both Commencement ceremonies for those unable to attend in person.
Details regarding the commencement tickets and other related issues are available on the RSU commencement website.

Restoring The Foundations
"You can't build a house on a faulty foundation."
That's the analogy we use in our Restoring the Foundations (RTF) ministry sessions. We feel honored to serve as RTF ministers, because we've seen incredible healing take place – not only in marriages on the brink of disaster, but also in healthy marriages.
Many of the people we minister to are pastors and church leaders; we've seen how healing within individual marriages expands and facilitates healing within the larger body of Christ.
Personal Ministry
Restoring the Foundations is a personal, one-to-one ministry, during which we meet with couples (both jointly and individually) in our home. During our ministry sessions, we cover a wide gamut of marital issues; we focus not only on the challenges in a marriage, but also, on the great things about that marriage.
Some of the key areas for which many couples seek healing include:
- Communication – Feeling misunderstood, ignored, under-valued, or stuck in a hopeless situation
- Sexual issues – Sexual addiction, pornography, feeling unfulfilled sexually, struggling with fantasy or lust
- Fear and anxiety –Fear of abandonment, fear of abuse, fear of the future, fear of not measuring up, trust issues, and other fears and anxieties
- Childhood trauma – Hurts arising from childhood relationships with parents that carry over into adulthood, marriage, and parenting; abandonment, neglect, abuse, alcoholism
Each couple receives 36 hours of personal ministry with Wayne and Marilyn (unmarried individuals receive a total of 15 hours of personal ministry).
Here is a brief overview of what each three-hour ministry session "looks" like:
Session 1
Joint session (both spouses) meet with Wayne and Marilyn to discuss the personal information questionnaire the couple completed prior to the session. We help the couple pinpoint hurts, ungodly beliefs, and patterns that need to be addressed. We also focus on what is working in the marriage so we can build on those ingredients.
Sessions 2-6
During five, 3-hour sessions in which Wayne and Marilyn meet individually with each spouse (a total of 30 hours), we use the RTF principles to work through four key problem areas:
1. Sins of the Fathers and the Resulting Curses
This problem is rooted in the second commandment (Ex. 20:3-6), where God visits "the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations."
God requires us to confess our ancestors' sin as well as our own (Lev 26:40).
We help you focus on the confession of sin (I John 1:9) and appropriation of Christ's finished work on the Cross to break curses (Gal 3:13) and recover "legal ground" from the enemy.
2. Ungodly Beliefs
Each of us has formed ungodly beliefs from life's circumstances as well as from our ancestors (i.e., parents, grandparents). We guide you through a process of repentance and renewing your mind (Rom 12:2) to help you change ungodly beliefs into Godly beliefs.
3. Soul/Spirit Hurts
Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Lk 4:18). As we "wait upon the Lord" with "listening prayer," He heals the hurts of our soul and spirit. He shows us what He wants to heal, and then, after we take care of necessary forgiveness and releasing, He heals what He has shown.
4. Demonic Oppression
After we have "co-labored with Christ" to bring freedom and healing to the first three ministry areas in our lives, the various demonic strongholds oppressing us can be disassembled and destroyed (Mk 16:17).
Session 7
During our final 3-hour joint session, we bring the couple back together and give them an opportunity to deal with forgiveness issues and to share their insights and revelation from their personal ministry healing time. We model healthy ways to communicate with one another and help the couple come up with a plan and strategy to support each other in their "walking out" process.
Frequently Asked Questions about RTF:
How long have you been RTF ministers?
We have been doing RTF ministry full-time since 2000. Because Wayne has an additional full-time job, we usually conduct RTF sessions on weekends at our home in Olympia, WA.
Is RTF ministry limited to married couples?
No. We adapt the RFT principles for use with single individuals.
How can I be sure RTF ministry is confidential?
Before you begin RTF, you will sign a confidentiality agreement. Legally and ethically, information you share with us may not be disclosed without your written consent. The "Waiver of Liability" form details certain situations (for example, physical or sexual abuse being done to a minor child or any issues dealing with suicide) that we are legally required to report. Married couples are also assured that no confidentiality will be broken regarding the spouses' individual ministry time. Spouses will decide what details of their individual ministry sessions they want to share with each other.
What qualifications do Wayne and Marilyn have to conduct this ministry?
Wayne and Marilyn are ordained ministers under Betsy and Chester Kylstra and the Healing House Network in Hendersonville, North Carolina. They are qualified as Restoring the Foundations ministers, seminar leaders, and trainers.
When can I expect breakthroughs to occur in my marriage?
We believe in starting our ministry with you right where you are at. Some people open up right away and begin making breakthroughs; for others, it doesn't happen until the second couples' session. Our passion as RTF ministers is to help you restore a strong foundation in your marriage and in your personal life. Without exception, breakthroughs always happen during our ministry sessions; the exciting part of the journey is experiencing how God breaks down the barriers that hold you back from walking in the full destiny the Lord has for you.
How will you prepare me (and my spouse) to keep moving forward in positive ways after our RTF ministry sessions end?
We not only help people restore the foundations of their relationship, we equip them with a "toolbox." When a particular "red flag" situation or challenge arises, they can pull a card out of their toolbox to help each other identify the hurt or ungodly belief. The "tool" guides them through the situation so they can administer and receive healing – together.
How much does the 36 hours of RTF ministry cost?
The cost is $2,450.00 per couple for 36 hours of personal ministry, or $1,250.00 for individuals for 15 hours of personal ministry. If additional ministry is required, the cost is $75.00 per hour.
Do you provide grants or discounts?
Time and time again, people's first response when they learn the fee is, "I can't afford that." However, our experience is that when people step out in obedience to the Lord, funds become available. We are open to working out payment plans with individuals if necessary, and we consider individual requests. We have found it is very important for you to invest in your own healing.
I sense God calling me to become an RTF minister. Do you provide training?
Yes! Wayne and Marilyn are internationally qualified RTF trainers and seminar leaders. We will travel to your church or facility (anywhere in the world!) to conduct training for you individually or for your church staff. For more information, contact Freedomtrain Ministries.

Glenn Beck To John Kerry: 'You've Lied Too Many Times' For Sympathy
I seriously wonder about Glenn Beck's mental health. I mean, I'm certainly used to wingnuts who pile on when Democrats have serious health issues, but he seems more insane than the rest of them:
Yesterday, Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, was rushed to this hospital after apparently suffering from some sort of seizure ... but Glenn Beck isn't buying it because he just doesn't trust anything that the government says, which is why he suspects that the entire thing was orchestrated as a distraction from the "huge scandal" that Secretary Kerry was on his boat while a military coup took place in Egypt last week.
While it may be true that Heinz Kerry (or, as Beck called her, "Mrs. Ketchup") did end up in the hospital, Beck "can't give you any sympathy now because you've lied to us too many times" ... just as when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized with a blood clot last year in an effort to cover-up Benghazi.
Though Clinton's blood clot was tied to a concussion she received after she fainted while suffering from the flu, Beck said, "If she really had some weird thing in the hospital, then it should prohibit her from ever becoming president."
She shouldn't be President of the United States if she going into the hospital for some sort of heart condition or brain condition or whatever she was in the hospital for," Beck said, "or was that just a scam so that we didn't talk about [Benghazi]"?

Recipe: How to Roast a Pig
Last Saturday we had the pleasure of heading out to Brooklyn for my friend Matt Gross's annual pig roast. As you might imagine, roasting a pig is no small endeavor. But if you have the right equipment, it can be done – and chances are you will have many friends willing to help you cook it and eat it. (more…)
The Cardinal
What is it that makes a restaurant authentically southern? It could be obscure items like Cheerwine and Nu Grape sodas on the menu, a stuffed wild turkey bursting out of a corner in mid-flight, or the fact that a gentleman waiting in the unisex restroom line downstairs actually offered his place up to a lady. But ask a Southerner, and they will tell you that the Southern food experience is all about the sides.
At the Cardinal, a new Southern spot in the East Village, there are more sides than there are entrees, including baked beans, black eyed peas, yams, greens, mac and cheese, fried okra and corn pudding, just to name a few. Order as many as possible and you'll feel like you're at a big family barbecue.
New Yorkers were elated when Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich's Italian food emporium Eataly opened last year. There was only one problem: Eataly didn't seem to be intended for New Yorkers. A massive marketing and PR effort across the U.S. and in Europe meant that Eataly instantly filled up with tourists – even the ones who can get decent biscotti at home.
Fortunately, the Red Apple bus crowd does not seem to have discovered the new rooftop restaurant on top of Eataly yet. You'll still be elbowed by the crowds on your way to the bar at Birreria, but at least none of those elbows will be loaded down with Century 21 bags. (more…)
Best Outdoor Dining 2011
As much as we complain about the heat, it's so nice to be able to dine al fresco when summer finally comes to New York. But what we're looking for isn't any old table plunked on a sidewalk next to a major truck route, but a nice setting, fun scene and preferably some good food. Here is an opinionated guide to the best outdoor dining in town. (more…)
Hill Country
Fette Sau is a hard act to follow.
This became apparent as soon as we walked into Hill Country. Where was the smell of barbecue? In Williamsburg, the scent of roasting meat bewitches you a block away, here there was barely a whiff of it, even when the counter staff opened the cantilevered storage units that contain piles of brisket, beef ribs, and fatty pork.
Manhattan might mean "island of many hills," but this ain't the boonies anymore. If Texas-inspired Hill Country exuded that barbecue scent, the neighbors would be hoppin' mad. (It's tough not to lapse into Texas talk as soon as you get here, what with the honky tonk music on the stereo.) On the other hand, Hill Country is conveniently located just blocks away from several subway lines, and this, as my fellow diner the Cheese Guy pointed out, is its biggest advantage. The cavernous hall, lined on one side with piles of firewood, chock full of wooden tables, and punctuated by BBQ and beer stations, easily fills with Manhattan diners, many of them guys in ties. This doesn't even include the equally cavernous downstairs space, which has several long tables for large parties and live music several nights a week. But dang if it ain't hard to hear in Hill Country: the acoustics are terrible.
We queued up for 'cue, which is sold by the pound. In a Katz's-like system, you get a ticket at the outset and get your own food. This is true to Texas style, so if you prefer table service, chances are you'd be better off in a fancy-pants New York place.
The biggest difference between Hill Country and Fette Sau is the smoker, or lack of a huge, hardworking one like Fette Sau's Southern Queen. Hill Country's brisket is juicier than Fette Sau's, probably because it's been cooked for a shorter time. But as any barbecue aficionado can tell you, this means it loses something in the flavor department. The rub on the outside is good, but it doesn't penetrate far into the beef. The same goes for nicely peppery rub on the pork ribs. And if you ever wonder whether the current Berkshire pork obsession is just spin, contrast and compare the two meats and you'll taste the difference. Because of the shorter cooking time, Hill Country's non-Berkshire pork ribs were still pink inside and chewy, not falling off the bone.
The beer can game hen proved to be a worthwhile experiment. Deep fried with an open beer can inside, it tasted nicely herbal and moist, with crispy skin. It had flavors I didn't realize hen or canned beer could have. How they managed to wedge a whole can o' beer in this lil' critter I'll never know.
Unlike Fette Sau, Hill Country is not hostile to vegetarians. There are a heap of sides, many of them meat free. Sharp, slightly oily Longhorn cheddar decked the pasta in the excellent mac-n-cheese, and the corn pudding is perfectly salty-sweet. Black eyed pea salad was ho-hum, and chipotle deviled eggs sounded much more exciting than they were, but they're a nice apertif to the barbecue if you get hungry waiting in line.
Normally I wouldn't review a place this early on, but I had an opportunity to go and a camera, so please consider this an early report. Over the course of the evening, however, it became apparent that a lot of thought has already gone into Hill Country. By "thought," I mean "focus group input." Like the latest designer fragrance, nothing in the formula offends, but nothing sticks out at you, either. The faux-fluorescent lighting and kitschy props nailed to the walls reminded me of TGI Fridays or Chili's, though thankfully none of the servers are wearing "flare." Hill Country has only been open for a matter of weeks, but their in-house barbecue sauce is already for sale at the gift counter by the door, though it's a pretty average sauce. Setting up a gift counter before you have a devoted following seems like creating your own celebrity fan club before you're even famous.
Nevertheless, since this is the kind of free-range place where no one kicks you out, we meandered downstairs to listen to live blues. The luckiest moment of the night came when one of the sous chefs literally tossed Chef Mary and me a bourbon pecan pie at the bar. It was hands down the most delicious pecan pie we've ever eaten (sorry, Mom), loaded with fresh nuts and laced with bourbon and molasses.
The bourbon pecan pie, the sugared bar nuts, the bands, the friendly counter staff, the space for huge parties, and the location are all good reasons to return to Hill Country – and the Kruez sausage is supposed to be a tasty Texas specialty as well, though we didn't get a chance to try it. But if I have a hankering for pork ribs again, I'll be danged if I'm not on the first train out to Williamsburg.

Fette Sau
Perhaps no other advertising campaign has done a greater disservice to its product than "Pork: The Other White Meat." Borne out of the fat-phobic late '80s, the National Pork Board's campaign reduced the entire animal to the pork chop. If the complex, meaty, by turns fatty and lean pig could talk, she would no doubt tell you: I am so not a chicken.
Twenty years later, our obsession with barbecue and pork's ability to take on and emphasize spicy, smoky flavors may seem new, but it has long been part of the basic vocabulary in Chinese, Korean, Italian, German, and yes, Southern cuisine. Consider this: would David Chang of Momofuku be David Chang without his silent partner, the Berkshire pig?
It requires a certain mania for the fatty beast to see a barbecue joint in an auto body shop, bring in a crypt-sized Southern Queen smoker, make all the right connections with Berkshire pork suppliers, and open your doors for business. But that's just what owners Kim and Joe Carroll of Fette Sau have done.
By now you probably know what's on the menu: pork spareribs, pork sausages, pulled pork, plus some beef brisket to give that guy a nod too. But it's the sau that impresses. Fatty, rich pork belly is like the foie gras of pork products. The ribs are charred on the outside, meaty and tender between the bones. There's an espresso-and-brown-sugar rub on them, but as with the pulled pork, the true deliciousness comes from the unadulterated flavor of smoke. The Southern Queen smoker – and chef Matt Lang – sure can cook.
I'm no barbecue expert, since I come from Maryland, the no-man's-land considered the South by Yankees but disdained by Carolinians and ignored by Texans. But barbecue experts have endorsed Fette Sau's separation of meat from sauce, which you combine yourself at the table. The sweet sauce is the traditional mix of ketchup, vinegar, maybe a bit of Worchestershire sauce, and some other secret ingredients, but it was still my favorite because of my Southern-ish sweet tooth – same goes for the sweet white rolls. Fette Sau's spicy sauce is a much more complex, mole-like mixture that tastes of coffee, dried chilies, molasses, and unsweetened chocolate. The two would taste great mixed together.
The non-meat sides received a drubbing in previous reviews of Fette Sau, so we skipped these – except for the excellent Gus' half sour pickles – and headed straight for the baked beans. Embedded with hunks of brisket, they tasted like the ideal incarnation of Fette Sau's mole-like spicy sauce.
Though the atmosphere is pretty much the polar opposite of Frederick's Downtown, Fette Sau does have that see-and-be-seen scene, Williamsburg version, lots of outdoor seating at picnic tables, and few rules. ("No drinks outside after 11pm.") Walking into the garage, I felt the same kind of relief a teenager experiences upon arriving at a keg party in somebody's indestructible concrete basement. It's the kind of place where you can let your hair down, don some Williamsburg style glasses in weird 80's frames à la Michael Caine, and drink a gallon of beer – literally. A slew of microbrews is dispensed from pulls rigged with butchery tools into gallon-size glass jugs. If that doesn't spell an afternoon of Brooklyn patio drinking, I don't know what does. Just get there early because, like Pies 'N' Thighs, Fette Sau tends to run out of food, usually by 9:30pm on weekends.
The extensive list of bourbon, whiskey and rye is like the bonanza of breaking into the absentee parents' liquor cabinet: Whiskey, all you want! We particularly liked the Tuthilltown rye and the Black Maple Hill bourbon. If you're really daring, knowledgeable bartender Dave Herman will serve you a bit of corn mash liquor that tastes like moonshine: the ceramic jug says it all.
As with a keg party, days later, my clothes still smell like smoke, but this time it's the alluring scent of barbecue. It even makes me hungry, which is no problem, because like addicted regulars at Fette Sau, I ordered more pulled pork at the end of the night – to go.

Publication date & source: 2010-10, Eur J Echocardiogr., 11(9):752-5. Epub 2010 May 15.
Publication type: Randomized Controlled Trial
AIMS: Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an uncomfortable procedure for the majority of patients. In the current double-blind randomized prospective study, we sought to assess whether ondansetron would improve patient comfort, reduce the need for sedation, and increase tolerance during TEE, and we compared ondansetron, metoclopramide, and placebo. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-six patients who underwent TEE were randomized into three groups receiving ondansetron HCl, metoclopramide, or placebo. Data concerning additional doses of midazolam, procedural time, recovery time in the outpatient ward, blood pressure values, percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation values, side effects of the medications used, and patient discomfort via a visual analogue scale (VAS) were collected and analysed. The ondansetron group received less additional midazolam than the metoclopramide and placebo groups (ondansetron group: 0.6 +/- 0.7 mg; metoclopramide group: 1.9 +/- 0.9 mg; and placebo group: 2.1 +/- 0.8 mg; P < 0,001). VAS was significantly lower in the ondansetron group than in the metoclopramide and placebo groups (4.0 +/- 1.6, 6.1 +/- 1.8, and 6.6 +/- 1.6, respectively; P < 0.001). Recovery time in the outpatient ward was shorter in the ondansetron group than in the metoclopramide and placebo groups (22.5 +/- 4.8, 30.9 +/- 6.6, and 30.4 +/- 5.0 min, respectively; P < 0.001). No adverse reaction to ondansetron was observed, whereas one patient developed mild spontaneously resolving dystonia due to metoclopramide. CONCLUSION: Ondansetron administration reduces the need for sedation during TEE and improves patient comfort.

Hernanes has admitted that a dream evening was ruined by his penalty miss in the 1-1 draw between Lazio and Roma.
The Brazilian gave his side the lead with a stunning strike in the derby, but the midfielder allowed the Giallorossi back into the game.
He firstly failed to put his side 2-0 up from the spot and then gave away a penalty himself which Francesco Totti equalised from.
"Sometimes football can provide incredible surprises," the former Sao Paulo man told Italia 2. "It seemed like it would be an unforgettable evening for me.
"After a nice goal I could have got the second with a penalty, but then everything changed. It was just amazing.
"The penalty miss? I usually waited for the goalkeeper to move when I took penalties, but, seeing as they no longer do that, I choose a corner.
"I don't really miss in training, but I was off target this time. It was a real shame as it could have been the most beautiful of evenings."

Hi! My name is Bridwell's Dexter (but my friends call me Dex) after the author that wrote Clifford the Big Red Dog about a Vizsla like me! Some people think I should be renamed Bruce Wayne though because it looks like I have the bat symbol on my chest. My very favorite thing to do is point at the birds in my backyard - one of these days I'm finally going to catch one! But I can always be interrupted to make new friends and impress them with my tricks and kisses. I'm usually either running full speed ahead or snuggling up for a snooze. My parents think it's funny that I grumble whenever they try to wake me up, but they don't laugh when I try to play "shark attack" for some reason. I am really looking forward to this spring because I can't wait to watch the Puppy Bowl!View Profile
Hi, my name is Birch, because Iâm silver like the tree! I could be renamed Nike though, because it looks like I have the swoosh logo on my chest. My very favorite thing in the whole world is ice cubes although I always have to steal any toy my brother has (Dexter the Vizsla â 8/8/13). But I love him a lot and make sure to give him lots of kisses to make up for it! Iâm usually romping around the yard or hiding under the pine tree. My parents say Iâm brilliant because Iâm already potty trained and put myself to bed at night, but Iâm not the most ladylike because I eat dirt and dribble water everywhere. Iâm really looking forward to starting daycare this winter so I can make lots of new friends!View Profile

Boy, it's been awhile!
Did you miss me?! All 8 of my dear followers. :)
My hiatus started with the flu. So there was that. And it was followed by just a general lack of enthusiasm for any of my current projects. It happens.
I've had a half completed project sitting in my living room (on my new awesome rug) for at least 2 weeks now.
"Maybe tomorrow" has become a common phrase.
I did have some success this past week completeling my to-do list. Unfortunately, it was full of "pay this and call them."
I love striking things off with a thick line. I sometimes put the little tasks on just for the opportunity to cross them off!
I love striking things off with a thick line. I sometimes put the little tasks on just for the opportunity to cross them off!
And then yesterday morning, RUMMAGE SALE SEASON STARTED! Praise the Lord! Seriously. It's my favorite. I wake up willingly on the weekend to see what kind of treasures I can find.
It was pretty cold out, and there weren't too many listed in the paper, but we managed.
I told my mom that we need to take a picture of our loot every week. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to note how much we spend too. Sometimes we get carried away. But mostly, we get some pretty practical stuff for a fraction of the price. Painters tape for .50: yes please. 7 mugs (perfect to decorate with a porcelain pen!)all for $1.50: yes please. A giant roll of freezer paper (that was on my shopping list already) for $1.00: hooray!
If nothing else, rummaging is cheap entertainment and a good excuse for my mom, sister, and I to hang out. Plus, there's nothing like looking at discarded randomness to spark my creativity.

This editorial appeared in the Washington Post:
Sound off on the important issues at
The United States took a step closer last week to fulfilling its promise of equal opportunity for all when the House passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire or fail to promote an employee because of the person's real or perceived sexual orientation. The 235 to 184 vote capped an effort started in 1974 by two New York members of Congress: Democrats Bella Abzug and Ed Koch.
The bill's passage in the House is a victory not only for gay men, lesbians and bisexual people, but also for all Americans who believe that people who work hard and play by the rules should not lose their jobs or be denied one simply because of who they are. Yet the work is not done. Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, will soon introduce the bill in the Senate, where it failed by just one vote in 1996. The bill must pass this time. Already, 20 states, 276 municipalities (including the District of Columbia) and 433 of the Fortune 500 companies ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The measure has its critics. Opponents in Congress offered specious arguments for voting no. This will force religious institutions to hire gay people, they thunder. No. Religious institutions and the military are exempt. This will lead to increased litigation, they warn. Probably not. According to a 2002 report from the General Accounting Office, there has been no notable increase in lawsuits in states that put in place nondiscrimination laws that include sexual orientation. This is "special rights," they cry. The right to work and provide for one's family is not special but one of the most basic of civil rights.
Many gay rights activists opposed the bill because the final version didn't include protection for transgender people, including those who have changed their sex, who are living their lives as the other sex or who do not conform to traditional gender roles. The omission was a painful but wise choice that Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., made to increase the bill's chance of passage. Transgender people must channel the activism this action sparked into a long-term effort to educate the public and lawmakers about the discrimination they face.

A World of My Own
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Dreams were always central to Graham Greene's fiction during a career spanning six decades. The ideas for at least two of his novels and short stories originated in his own dreams. Many pivotal scenes involve his characters' dreams. The dreamlike hyperreality of his fictional settings is such a constant that critics long ago coined the label "Greeneland" to identify this special sense of the world, no matter where the action is nominally located.
Greene's fascination with dreams began when he underwent psychoanalysis at age sixteen. A part of his treatment involved his keeping a diary of his dreams, which were the subject of analysis. Though he discarded that diary later, Greene had discovered firsthand an important link between the unconscious and creativity which would prove essential to him as a writer.
A WORLD OF MY OWN is a selection of 120 short dream-narratives derived from a much longer diary that Greene maintained from 1965 to 1989. Despite its subtitle, however, the selection is not arranged in the format of dated entries. Instead Greene, who worked on this book during the last months of his life, organized the dreams into nineteen chapters with such titles as "In the Secret Service," "Travel," "My Life in Crime," and "Animals Who Talk." Apart from this topical arrangement, there is no overt analysis of the dreams. Yet readers familiar with Greeneland will feel very much at home in the place Greene calls...

We're proud of our bus, not only for its snazzy orange color, but because of the people on it! Listed here are the most seasoned members of the Page Zero team.
- Andrew Goodman – Founder & President
- Mona Elesseily – Vice President, Online Marketing Strategy
- Dean Towers – Vice President, Client Services
- Cory Kleinschmidt, Vice President, Findability
- Dave Weber, Senior Account Director
Andrew Goodman
Founder & President
Andrew founded Page Zero Media in 2000 with a plan to figure out how to structure services to the already fast-growing search engine marketing (SEM) segment. Months of planning stemmed from a conviction that the existing service offerings in the field were hard to understand and clumsily executed. When early clients complained that SEO firms weren't listening to what they actually needed, Andrew listened. Transparency, trust, and terms were all big parts of these client wishlists.
In 2000, paid search was just a glimmer in Google's eye. Today, it makes up about 10% of the total ($170 billion) advertising pie in the U.S. — offline and online, from all sources combined. That's the power of accountability.
Andrew's early tinkering in the field of online marketing heightened his interest in search engines and the "portal wars." This yielded an influential blog (or what we now call a blog), Traffick.com, co-founded in 1999 with Cory Kleinschmidt. After months of more general research for a book about online marketing, Andrew changed gears and narrowed the focus. He was galvanized by Google's release of Google AdWords Select in 2002. He released the world's first "how-to" on AdWords – "21 Ways to Maximize ROI on Google AdWords Select," in April, 2002, briefly rivaling Eminem's The Eminem Show for coolness and global sales.
The need to get the right people on the bus increased after this, as consulting business was growing steadily. Page Zero still believes it doesn't have to be big — just really good. The team grew steadily, but not hugely, over the years.
In 2005, Andrew published Winning Results with Google AdWords (McGraw-Hill; 2nd ed. 2008), considered the leading resource in the field. The book has been translated into six languages.
Andrew has been active on the conference circuit since 2002. He still has an unbroken streak of speaking at every North American SES Conference since 2002 (44 and counting). For the past five years, he has served on the SES Conference's Global Advisory Board, helping to set the direction for content. In addition, Andrew pens a regular column in the Paid Search channel at ClickZ.com.
Andrew has also served as an early adviser to technology companies in the field (Clickable, Acquisio, GShift Labs). In 2007, after a brief advising role, he became a co-founder of HomeStars, a consumer review site with aspirations to become the "TripAdvisor for home improvement," and remains a member of the company's Board of Directors.
Andrew was educated at the University of Toronto (B.A.) and York University, Toronto (M.A.) and while near-starvation was generating a serious interest in the greener grass of the business world, was near completion of a Ph.D in Political Science, funded briefly by a two-year national SSHRCC Doctoral Fellowship.
Andrew currently divides his time among the conference circuit, Page Zero's Toronto offices, and homes in Toronto, ON and Fredericton, NB, where he lives with wife Carolyn. The couple enjoy skiing, hiking, and lobster roll consumption in the Atlantic region, and also enjoy the luxury of "commuting" to Toronto regularly to enjoy its endless buffet of dining choices.
Mona Elesseily
Vice President, Online Marketing Strategy
Mona joined Page Zero Media in 2004. She combines thought leadership with dedicated account service that takes a holistic view of business strategy, user experience, and killer PPC tactics. In her career, she has significantly improved online marketing performance for companies like Capital One, CareerBuilder, Cathay Pacific, The Pattison Group, Princess Auto, BLR, and Affectiva, to name a few.

I'm on a roll.
Jellyroll, Tootsie Roll, Rock n' Roll.
Jellyroll, Tootsie Roll, Rock n' Roll.
Scoops of meat, seasoned, squished between fingers, pressed gently between the palms. Roll. Perfect rounds. Tossed lightly in seething oil, rolled around in the pan, nudged along until browned. Dunked in red sauce. Tucked inside a roll, lined up, tiny, fragrant orbs.
Felafel, chocolate truffles, meatballs, chocolate chip cookie dough.
Hand rolled.
Roll through childhood.
Bicycle wheels, somersaults, cartwheels, sleeping bags (bedrolls), hot dog rolls. A little matchbox car pushed across the floor, watch it roll. Childhood pleasures.
Tears that roll down cheeks at the loss of a game, or teasing, crossed eyes and a baiting remark meant to inflict pain, an arrow to the heart. Roll with the punches.
Marbles, basketballs, softballs, a roll of the dice.
Roll call.
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. - Alexander Pope
They roll their eyes quite a lot. At me. Because of me. For me. Sarcasm personalized, sarcasm quiet, understated but oh so loud and clear. Nothing charming about an eye roll.
One woman, three men. Maybe it's a gender thing, a cultural thing. That eye roll. Have I said something ridiculous? Something to merit that eye roll, that smirk?
Roll up your sleeves.
Sushi, cinnamon buns, pinwheel cookies, egg roll. The perfect jellyroll, ethereal, fragile sponge cake spread with whipped cream, pastry cream, chocolate ganache, a favorite jam, the edge lifted and tucked up into itself, press forward, softly, lightly, and roll. Sweet dough, buttered and dusted with brown sugar and ground cinnamon with a generous hand, dotted with chocolate chips, strewn with coarsely chopped pecans, the edge lifted and tucked up into itself, press forward, softly, lightly, and roll. Nori, black, sleek, shiny, sticky rice fragrant with sugar and rice wine vinegar, pressed, gooey, all the way to the edges of that sheet of seaweed, black as night. Strips of smoked salmon, strips of tender avocado, strips of crisp, cool cucumber, the edge lifted and tucked up into itself, press forward, softly, tightly, and roll. Black and white, or, more correctly, brown and beige, a large, flat square of chocolate cookie dough, a large, flat square of vanilla cookie dough. Align and press, one atop the other, the double edge then lifted and tucked up into itself, press forward, softly, tightly, and roll.
The beautiful, intricate, swirl of a roll.
Let the Good Times Roll
The Story of a Rolling Pin
She had always been the taker, I the giver. As different as night and day, she had money and played poor, I was poor and played with a generous hand. I was bunking down in the Paris apartment she shared with a man, her future husband, her future ex, the first but not the last. And she decided that she wanted to be a cook, a caterer. Which required, of course, a battery of new kitchen utensils, equipment, appliances and gadgets, poor little rich girl.
Together we visited Dehillerin, that famed Parisian Mecca for all things kitchen. A wonderland of cooking and baking tools. "I need a rolling pin!" she exclaimed in delight as she lifted one of the long, thick professional rolling pins from a box, weighing the heft of the thing, gliding her hand up and down the smooth, silken wood the color of chocolate. "I don't have my wallet with me," she cried in mock surprise, as she rarely seemed to have money with her, I should have known better. "Will you buy it and I promise to pay you back?" I reached into my meager cache, my few francs in reserve, all I had left to my name, and pulled out the weathered, flimsy bills and handed them over, knowing that I would never see the color of thirty-three francs again.
A year later, she and her man packed up, picked up and moved to the States. "Can you keep some of my stuff for me, just until we move back?" she asked. Cookbooks and baking pans, whisks, wooden spoons and yes that rolling pin, anything but generous as she counted absolutely on coming back and reclaiming it all. But she never did. And today, I still roll out dough in my own kitchen in France with that rolling pin, the very same that I paid for on my first trip to Paris. And I love it, my rolling pin.
Roll out a nearly perfect round of dough, pie crust. Roll the dough up around the rolling pin, lift and carefully unroll across the pie plate. Lift and press into the dish.
Roll me over in the clover, roll me over lay me down and do it again.
I began making chocolate truffles when I was in college, preparing them for Valentine's Day gifts for friends and as part of the candy and sweet platter I would make with my mother for her office Christmas party each year. Chocolate truffles were, and still are, considered the height of elegance, fancy, special confections, yet they are incredibly, deceptively simple to make, just a chocolate ganache with a bit of butter and flavorings. The only requirement is very high quality ingredients and very clean hands.
Makes about 30 truffles
8 oz (225 g) high quality bittersweet or half bittersweet/half semisweet chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
½ cup (125 ml) heavy whipping cream
2 Tbs (30 g) butter *
2 Tbs flavoring of your choice **
½ tsp vanilla extract
30 jarred cherries or so in syrup, drained and soaked or poached in cherry liqueur or rum, optional
Unsweetened cocoa powder, shredded coconut, lightly toasted or not, finely chopped nuts of your choice, sprinkles, chocolate or colored, crushed hard candies such as candy canes…. For coating the chocolate truffles. Your choice.
* Use unsalted butter when adding an alcohol flavoring, but try using salted butter with an extra tiny pinch of fleur de sel for a caramelly, slightly salty taste, if you so desire.
** Grand Marnier or Cointreau, Amaretto, dark rum, prepared coffee, bourbon, etc Finely chop the chocolate and place in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan over a low flame, heat the heavy cream and butter just until boiling point (you will see tiny bubbles form around the edges and the cream will begin to steam); stir to blend. Pour the hot cream and butter over the chopped chocolate, let sit for a minute and then stir or whisk gently (so as not to splatter) until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the flavorings, the liqueur and the vanilla. Allow the ganache to cool and set, either on the counter or in the refrigerator. This could take several hours but if setting in the fridge, remove the bowl from the cold before it becomes to hard – if it does, simply let it come back to room temperature.
Using a melon baller (I do not) or a teaspoon, scoop out a small round of ganache (the size of a large marble) and, working very quickly and lightly so as not to melt the chocolate, roll the chocolate between the palms of your hands until round and line them up on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Quickly and lightly roll each chocolate truffle in the coating of your choice. Place each truffle in a tiny paper casing, if offering them as gifts.
For an extra special treat and surprise, omit the liqueur from the ganache and instead soak or poach cherries (jarred cherries in syrup) in cherry liqueur or rum and roll one cherry inside each truffle.

I remember asking many months ago when I first started experimenting with compiz about Xinerama support. I was told that a current xinerama implementation would not be commited to compiz as you had bigger plans for multi-screen support. I accepted this, tho' was disappointed as it meant I could not use compiz for daily use and I really wanted to. I found the patch someone wrote to add Xinerama to Xgl and compiz and was very happy as when compiz mostly worked with my dual head setup. I knew it maybe wasn't the right way to do it, but all the same, it meant I could play NOW!!! That's all I really wanted. It didn't matter to me that it would be ripped out and replaced by something better later, this was a quick fix that worked for me. I know that you wanted the compiz.net community to effectivly turn into the plugins community which is a great goal and I think mostly what it will be under forked life anyway. But it stands to reason that some of the new plugins will require some changes to the core, and for this reason there has to be a fork so that these plugins can be rolled out quickly to the community. The co-existance of both beryl and compiz on any given system is also a key part for the fork (e.g. no name conflicts). I really hope both projects will continue to feed off each other, and I think that your comments about the quality of code at least means you are looking at what beryl has to offer in terms of new plugins etc. as you've obviously been looking at the code. I remember commenting to you the otherday about CSM plugin and you replied saying you didn't know what it was. Well hopefully you'll be doing what the people who are developing compiz are doing which is to run the "other" version regularly and see what bits can be shared. Even if you think some of the code is not up to standard (and you have to remember that a lot of the code is written by enthusiastic people who have not always have a strong programming background), then taking the code that represents "good ideas" and improving it for compiz can only be a good thing for both communities. Even if you do a complete rewrite, in many cases it's the inspiration that counts :) I support both projects equally, tho' it has to be said, that the people and general buzz over in beryl land is a lot more inviting and open. I just hope you can integrate yourself there David and feed of some of the ideas and tallent that can be found there. I'm sure people on IRC at #beryl-dev or #beryl would love to have you join in more. Col.

Folks, Honor Memorial Day, and I can't think of anyone better to express the meaning of America and Memorial Day than President Ronald Reagan in this short video, "The Soldier's Pledge."
Oft times, those of us who've survived the crucible of combat ask ourselves why we are still in the land of the living and others are not?
It's because we must remain to tell the stories of our fallen comrades. We must be the witnesses that remind Americans of what a REAL hero is. It's a word so often tossed about, but on this day, there is no doubt who they really are.
They're the ones from the time of Lexington Green and Concord Bridge to today who've given the last full measure of devotion in making the ultimate sacrifice. I was honored to walk amongst them, and one day they shall greet me at that little corner in Heaven for Warriors we call Valhalla. Yes, we the living are like the one Spartan chosen by King Leonidas to deliver that special message from Thermopylae: "Go tell the Spartans and strangers passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie".
And so, not just on this Memorial Day, but every day, we tell the Americans and all strangers passing by that humbly, honorably, and obedient to their Oath to the Constitution, our fallen brothers and sisters lie.

A community football team managed by Harrogate Town star Chib Chilaka are celebrating after being named champions at a tournament held in Doncaster.
The Crime Reduction Initiatives (CRI) team came together in 2011 as a way of supporting people who are turning their lives around after sufffering from addiction.
CRI Harrogate has worked with the Harrogate Town Community Foundation(HTCF), who were awarded a grant by the Football Conference, and announced they have found jobs for several members of the team. They won all six games and conceded just twice as they marched towards the win.
Chilaka said: "The tournament in Doncaster was an affirmation of just how far the group have come and watching them compete against other teams showed a culmination of the principles we work on during our sessions."
HTCF chairman and club Director Tad Nowakowski said: "This is a fantastic achievement for some of these individuals to obtain, and in some cases, regain employment."

At Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis, Larsen & Lucey, our catastrophic injury attorneys handle cases involving brain injuries and brain damage at all levels of severity.
Brain damage is often caused by an impact to the head, and it may include subsequent complications due to lack of oxygen, and rising pressure or swelling in the brain. Unfortunately, brain damage, particularly when it involves a "closed head" impact, often goes undiagnosed in emergency rooms. In many cases, a person with a closed head brain injury may not even realize at first that they have been injured. A victim of a traumatic brain injury may undergo changes in disposition, be unable to concentrate, have memory problems, loss of vision, or suffer from hearing loss or deafness.
Appropriate treatment of a brain injury can involve diagnostic testing, medications, rehabilitation and even surgery. As with any serious injury, an extensive team of caregivers may be necessary. It is not uncommon for an injured individual to see a neurologist, neurosurgeon, psychiatrist, psychologist, vocational specialist, and numerous therapists.
All levels of brain injury can cause physical, emotional, social, and job-related changes in your life. Recovery can be a continuous process of adjustment and accommodation for an injured person and his or her family members.
Amputation, can range from the loss of a fingertip to the loss of an arm or a leg. Loss of a limb frequently results in significant blood loss, shock, infection, and even death.
An amputation injury often causes a reaction of grieving or depression in the victim, and almost always results in some level of negative emotional impact. Our attorneys always make sure our clients and their families find the support they need during the extremely difficult period of adjustment or for as long as they need it. We have an extensive network of professionals throughout California who can help make sure that you have the resources you need to deal with all the effects of your injuries and loss.
If you or a loved one has suffered an amputation as the result of an accident, seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
Paralysis, which can include paraplegia or quadriplegia, is the loss of strength or mobility in a part of the body.
The extent of the paralysis depends upon the severity and the location of the injury. Paralysis and loss of sensation may be partial or total, temporary or permanent. If function and mobility are not regained within several months after the injury, the loss is more likely to be permanent.
GJEL's responsiveness was excellent. I was ecstatic about the result.
See more GJEL Reviews
Any injury that damages the spinal cord or nerve pathways in the spinal cord can cause permanent loss.
People who are weak or paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury are also at risk of developing other problems, such as bedsores, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia.
Given the serious nature of spinal cord injuries, it is important to consult an experienced lawyer to seek all sources of liability and compensation. Call us today at 1-855-508-9565 or email email@example.com for a free consultation.

I used to love it
When I was all alone
When I could hear the wind and the birds
When I was just my heart beat
My breathing
I used to love it
But that was before I met you
Before I fell into that dizzying spiral called love
Before my heart started betraying my independence
I can't stop thinking about you now
You're always in my mind
I used to love being alone
Now I don't feel right unless I'm with you
And I love it
Yet I yearn for my freedom
The freedom to go away whenever I please
To escape from everyone and not miss a thing
But its not like that anymore
I miss you
Whenever I'm awake it's all I can do to stay away from you
Even for a few hours
To not reach out and hold your hand
Or wrap my arms around you
Or kiss your lips
Or touch your hair
Its torture for me
And I love it
Yet it scares me
I'm afraid I will lose it all
I mean what if you leave?
What if you stop loving me?
What if you never really loved me to begin with?
All these fears swirl around in my head
Begging me to take my freedom now
Hurt him before he can hurt me
But I can't
I need him now
I need him by my side
I need him to hold me tight
To tell me everything is alright
To whisper my name as he kisses my cheek
My forehead
My hand
While I silently scream I love you
But am too afraid to say it out loud
Afraid to scare you away
Yet the look in your eyes promises you'll stay
It says you love me too
I can see it shining from your eyes
Yet I'm still afraid
I love you
I love you
I love you

Classical music lovers, take note.
The Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus will present "A Night of Great Opera" on April 21. The concert will feature British soprano Belinda Evans and Danish baritone Teit Kanstrup singing solos and duets.
They also will join the Philharmonic Chorus for some arias and choruses from operas such as La Traviata, Aida, Carmen, and The Marriage of Figaro. Ticketholders can attend an educational pre-concert talk by the Savannah Friends of Music at 6:30 p.m.
"A Night of Great Opera is just that, a wonderful evening in a beautiful setting to enjoy your favorite opera arias, overtures and choruses," says Peter Shannon, conductor and artistic director of the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. "Don't come alone. You'll want to share this memory with someone close for a while to come."
Evans is based in London, where she works as a freelance opera singer. Kanstrup began singing in the Cathedral Boys Choir before studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Music.
Both have performed with the orchestra before.
"They're up and coming, but both already have a huge amount of experience under their belts," Shannon says.
"We'll have the chorus onstage with the orchestra, which is quite a lot of people," he explains. "It's a cherry-picking concert. We've taken all the good stuff from different operas and put it into one concert."
The pre-concert talk will be presented by John Canarina, who conducted the New York Philharmonic under Bernstein. "He is a very accomplished conductor who has written a number of books," Shannon says.
"He's a very knowledgeable guy. He talks about opera and everything in its context and explains what's going on.
"He also talks about the structure of some of the music," Shannon says. "It's a very informative talk, and I highly recommend it."
He also highly recommends the performance. "It's great popular opera," Shannon says.
"Some of the arias are some of most difficult in opera," Shannon says. "It just so happens that these that are very well known are also flashy bits. The singers certainly are going to have to bring their A game, because some of the music is ferociously difficult."
Even more music will be available April 22 at the Savannah Philharmonic's Chamber Concert No. 4. It will feature three selections from Bizet's Carmen, including "Entr'acte to Act 4" and "Flower Song."
There will be selections from Beethoven's String Quartet in G Major, Op. 18 No. 2, including "Allegro" and "Adagio cantabile."
"The Blue Danube Waltz" by Johann Strauss will be performed, as will selections from Serenade for Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 10 by Ernst von Dohnányi, including "Marcia," "Romanza," "Scherzo," "Tema con variazioni" and "Rondo."
And five selections from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" will be presented — "Tonight," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty," "One Hand, One Heart" and "America."
What: "A Night of Great Opera"
When: 7:30 p.m. April 21; see website for April 22 performance
Where: Lucas Theatre, 32 Abercorn St.
Cost: $16-$65

My name is Reut Shechter and I am 25 years old, with a BA in Communications and living in Israel. I am easily-recognized by my uncontrollable "Yoplait smile" and I lead a fast-paced life, not unlike Taz, the Tasmanian devil. Call me a "Passionista" for my passion for fashion, but I also have a deep love for music, dancing and writing. I realize that fashion was a significant part of my life when I noticed how clothes catch my attention when I meet new people. In my point of view, clothes say a lot about human nature, taste and what a person wants to convey, whether intentionally or not. If it were up to me, I would live in my closet -but go shopping from time to time to freshen up. I get inspiration for my outfits from people on the street, fashion magazines and anything else that catches my eye.
After a year of "cooking", I decided to give wings to my passion for fashion and set up "Working Nine to Five" to show women like me, with an average closet, that you can dress chic without much effort and without going into debt. My desire is for this blog to be an inspiration to its readers – to help them keep an open mind and dare to wear combinations that suit their personalities on the one hand and their figures on the other.
Since I am a proponent of elegance and the impression it leaves on people, I decided to focus on this style, but with injections of trends, tips and other elements that complement this style. Some outfits are what I call "hardcore elegant" for the courageous among you, and some are "elegant-lite", for those who prefer to keep it classic. I will occasionally point out a necessary item -or a must-have item- that your closet should contain. However, I will also note more unique, more luxurious items for those who want to be EXTRA bold.
"Working Nine to Five" is based on personal taste, which means that some items will appeal to readers more than others, but I believe that each reader can take the inspiration from this blog to her private closet and blend it with personal taste.
My dream is to dress the members of Israel's Knesset since I think there is a need for a change -both inside and out- and I hope that one day, the Knesset passageway will showcase fashion that is chic. And who knows- maybe they will anchor that in legislation.Finally, I would like to thank the people who helped this dream become a reality, who leveraged their experience in each of their fields: Omri Ariav, Jen Macadar, Shay Erez, Liron Weissman, Casey Stein and Omer Harpaz.
I invite you to follow me on several social networks and to contact me about anything that comes to mind. I'd be happy to hear your opinions, reviews, questions, thoughts, comments on the outfits, and more.

Though her creations are static sculptures, they seem to convey an incredible sense of movement and life. This is reflected in Herrerra's choice of paper as a medium, which she uses for its sense of lightness and freedom. She also frequently creates paper habitats for her birds, ranging from jungles to woodlands.

This is the Raspberry Pi 3.
It's a single board computer the size of a credit card and as the name suggests, it's pretty sweet. It has a ton of uses from learning how to program to making your own DIY media center or maybe best of all which I'll show you how to do in this video, turning it into your own Retro gaming console where you can play nearly any game from old-school consoles like Atari to Super Nintendo to Playstation and a lot more in between.
You can get the Raspberry Pi 3 on Amazon, but what I have is the #1 Best Seller CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 Complete Starter Kit 32GB Edition. It's the one I recommend because it comes with everything you need to get started. So let's get into it. Here's how to set up a Raspberry Pi 3 as your own Retro gaming machine.
First you'll need to install the Raspberry Pi board into the CanaKit case that's included in the kit. It's very easy to do, just snaps right in there. Next you'll need to insert the MicroSD card into the MicroSD card reader then connect it to your PC or Mac.
Download the free RetroPie image file.
Download a free SD Card Image writer for Mac or Windows. Use the SD Card Image writer to apply the RetroPie image file onto the MicroSD card then eject it when it is finished.
Insert the MicroSD card into your Raspberry Pi MicroSD slot, and finally connect the HDMI cable and the power adapter. Now you can either connect a regular keyboard and mouse if you want to play old school PC games, but you'll eventually want a USB gaming controller like this Playstation one or this SNES one. I'll leave links to the best USB controllers below.
When the Raspberry Pi is connected to power it will start up and you'll see it boot into EmulationStation then you'll need to configure your keyboard or controller. After you configure the buttons on your controller you should now see the RetroPie home screen.
From here you can go into your settings and connect the Raspberry Pi to your WiFi network or connect Bluetooth devices.
The last part is getting ROMs. ROMs are basically digital files of games that you can find online. The rules behind it are simple: only download ROMs to games that you physically own. I can't provide the actual sites that host the ROMs, but you can find them with a simple Google search.
Once you have the ROMs downloaded on your Mac or PC, copy them to the correct console folder in the ROMs folder on your Raspberry Pi either over the network or using a USB flash drive. Since mine is connected to WiFi I just copied over the network from my Mac.
Once the ROMs are copied, restart the Raspberry Pi and there you go. You should be able to choose the game and start playing. By the way Donkey Kong is the best Super Nintendo game ever, hands down, no questions asked. If you have any other suggestions I'm happy to hear them. Comment down below!
