BFA Production + Independent Research: Research + Production.
Course No. SCU427M Credits: 3.0
Faculty Barry Underwood | Christian Wulffen
As an extension of the Visual Arts and Technology Environment's goal that students develop the ability to generate self-directed work, the Department of Sculpture seeks to provide each student with opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge to identify and sustain an independent practice. This course is designed to increase student awareness of the current art discourse and the ability to use that knowledge as a means of awareness within the production of their own work. This educational process embraces a variety of approaches to basic problem-solving skills measured against the contemporary practices of the discipline. In cooperation with a major-day faculty, students are expected to develop what is often their first significant independent work. For BFA students the focus of this course centers on artistic production, conditions of conveyance and Presentation. Required at the senior level for all sculpture majors for BFA development and open to junior level sculpture students as an elective offering for independent research open to all other students at the junior and senior levels. Offered spring.

The subject, research, and writing for the thesis are developed during the first semester with the final thesis due before the BFA exhibition and critique. The course includes field trips to museums, galleries, and artist studio visits to expose students to historical and contemporary artwork and practice. The mid-year review at the end of the fall semester is an Environment- wide presentation and progress review, which also prepares students for the oral defense of the BFA exhibition in the spring.

The length of the Thesis Statement Paper varies but excluding endnotes, bibliography, illustrations and other addenda, the paper should be no fewer than 1500 words and no more than 2500 words. Within the paper and among other questions, students are expected to address: "What is the work? What is the reasonable expectation for how it will be received by a given audience? What is the work's historical and contemporary context? What are the sources for the work? What choices were made in realizing the work and how to they contribute to the reception of the work?"

Study looks at economic issues surrounding declining population trends in Japan.
Olivia Marlin '09 presented, "Population Decline in Japan: Problems and Possibilities" at the Symposium for Artists & Scholars on April 18, 2009 at Randolph College.
Marlin conducted the research project with her faculty mentor, Elizabeth Perry-Sizemore, associate professor of economics, while an undergraduate student at Randolph College.
An abstract of Marlin's project follows...
Developed countries around the world are struggling with declining birth rates, but nowhere is this trend as serious as in Japan, where the population began to decrease in 2005. The Japanese government has tried to implement social programs to promote childbearing in hopes of avoiding the problems associated with an aging population. The diminishing ratio of working-age people to elderly population increases the tax burden on the workers. My paper examines trends in population and labor force to see if a shift in female labor force participation from part-time employment, which is untaxed, to fulltime employment could increase the tax base and prevent a crippling tax burden without increasing birth rates.
The Student Symposium of Artists and Scholars provides Randolph College students from all classes and disciplines the opportunity to present the results of their research, scholarship, and creative work to the entire College community and beyond.
The two-day symposium, modeled after a typical academic conference, features oral presentations of student research, readings of creative work, musical performances, and exhibitions of student artwork. The symposium also includes a poster session, reception and a keynote address from a noteworthy academic speaker.

Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), an initiative of the Clinton Foundation, convenes a community of global leaders to forge solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. CGI members include some of the world's largest companies, leading NGOs and foundations, government representatives from around the world, and prominent individual philanthropists. CGI fosters action through a rich year-round calendar of events designed to help members connect, collaborate, and make effective and measurable commitments.
Every September, the CGI community comes together in New York City for the Annual Meeting. The meeting gives CGI members the opportunity to assess the progress of ongoing commitments, develop new partnerships, and recognize the innovative action currently underway by CGI members across the world.
This working meeting brings together hundreds of leaders from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors to devise real and effective solutions for economic recovery and job creation in the United States.
Building on the successful model of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), CGI U convenes approximately 1,000 students from all over the world, along with nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and celebrities engaged in efforts to create positive change. Participants come together at a different college or university each year to work on their commitments and learn about innovative approaches to the world's most pressing issues.
CGI Latin America will engage key leaders from the private sector, government, civil society, and NGOs to generate lasting solutions to the region's, and the world's, most pressing challenges. By strengthening these partnerships, examining successful initiatives, and developing new strategies, these challenges can be met by a prosperous global community.
CGI's first international meeting, CGI Asia was held in Hong Kong in 2008 to bring together heads of state, top CEOs, directors of NGOs, philanthropists, scholars, and members of the media to address local and global challenges in the areas of Education, Energy & Climate Change, and Public Health.

I am at the end of week 7 of my first challenge and although I'm doing fairly well, I am getting confused at what "should be" happening at this point in the challenge. I also know that every person and challenge is different but I think I need reassurance that what I am doing is working. I was frustrated at my 4 week picture when changes weren't showing at all in the picture and all the wonderful support I received told me not to worry too much about it and that the changes and weight loss would come. Sure enough, around the end of week 5, beginning of week 6, I dropped quite a bit of scale weight, but for the last two weeks I haven't seen any more weight loss and although my body seems to be changing some (clothes fit a little looser), I'm not 100% sure I'm getting the results I should be getting at this point of the challenge. I've lost a total of 8 pounds and have definitely become stronger and possibly a little leaner, is there anything else I should be doing (I'm following the program basically to a T) at this point to get the best results possible? Thanks in advance for all replies and support!
---Jamey :)
The one thing you can do is to stop worrying about the weight. No one knows what you weigh unless you tell them. I know, from all the up and down dieting I've done, that I weigh 10 lbs more than I did wearing the same size I do today and I'm a size 6, who cares at this point. :-) WIth the weightlifting you are doing, your weight is going to be off. Why are you allowing the scale weight to over rule the obvious? You said, " I haven't seen any more weight loss and although my body seems to be changing some (clothes fit a little looser), I'm not 100% sure I'm getting the results I should be getting." You are getting the results you should be getting. Pay attention to what's happening! This not your typical way to lose weight and the scale is not your friend through this process.
As for your photo comparison, did you have someone else look at those photos or were you the only person who saw them? I ask because I went through the same thing. I didn't see any changes but when I shared the photos with others, they pointed out things I couldn't see, once they did that, I saw the changes. Hang in there. Seems to me you are on track for a very good finish. :-)
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
Do you feel better and move more easily with greater flexibility? Are you in better shape than you were when you started? If so then it has all been worth it. The alternative would have been to do nothing at all and stay the same as you were.
12 weeks is an arbitrary amount of time for this challenge. Folks seem to get caught up in it for some reason. Each day that you eat healthier and get exercise makes a better you.
As much inspiration as champions' before and after pictures provide, sometimes I think that they do harm as well because folks think that is the norm for a 12 week challenge...it is not. Those pictures were specifically chosen to show those that had the most extreme positive results. EAS and now Abbott Labs wants people to buy their supplements and drinks, the way to do that is by showing those that had the best results. If they would have posted the "average" results then folks would not have been as inspired to buy the products.
Please feel good about yourself and your progress so far...there will be lots of 12 week periods after this one to continue making progress.
This is the first time I have entered anything to this forum. perhaps some adivce. When I initially signed up for the challenge 6 weeks ago, I purchased the starter pack for GETTING LEAN and STRONG. That came with some Betagen and Muscle Armor. My question is, should I buy more of those or should I ween off of them to start "cutting up" as I am on the second half of the 12 weeks. If not, can you offer some advice?
I would be interested in the answer to the last post too. I have heard that you should stop taking betagen the last few weeks of a challenge? any tips?
@ deejay7 - You can always call EAS for supplement advice. I've called on them during my challenge and they are VERY helpful and friendly folks.
@ forgiveandforget - I think you're having really good results! Don't give up. Keep pushing all the way through the 12 weeks and you'll be glad you did. Everybody is different, so everyone isn't going to have the same results. Some of the champions before and after pics still blow me away when I look at them. Some of these winners had incredible transformations. eEven champion Mark Unger said in week 10, I believe, when he looked at himself in the mirror, he became really discouraged and thought about not even sending his packet in for the contest because he thought he had no chance of winning, but his last 2 weeks took off! And as you probably know, he was a Grand Champ a few years back. Just remember, even if you're not where YOU want to be within the 12 weeks, you're still in a MUCH better place than if you had quit or not started at all. And even if we don't win the BFL contest, we've still WON in life because of the lifestyle changes we've made! And remember, this is called Body for LIFE, not Body for 3 months. One of my favorite things about BFL is it has taught me things I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.
Try not to be discouraged! Hang in there and show all of us where you are at the end of your 12 weeks!! You can finish this thing!!! Stay positive. and don't ever look back.
SDJ & Eva Jo-It is recommended that you stop using creatine products 10 days prior to taking photos to deplete the water stored in the muscles.
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
hehe, just to be sure it is understood, I am a challenger just like you. My responses to questions are just based on my experience and nothing else. That being said I truly think my results have been amazing. Week nine and I have lost 27 lbs as of this morning.
About the supplements. I am not using any at all except for fish oil caps, a generic multivitamin and EAS premium protein powder. I can't afford anything else right now. All my other nutrients have come from real food.
Alot of other folks on the forum can speak to other supplements and timing them better than I.
My best wishes for health, happiness and discipline to you.
Wow, I am totally impressed, 27 lbs. Ok, what is the deal with Fish Oil Caps, why fish oil? Can you take Flax Seed Oil instead? I am taking CLA, Betagen and EAS Lite. I do the Lite shakes because it is easy for me to do. The Betagen I had ordered the last part of last year and it's still good!!!! :) The CLA's I bought a GNC brand, but only taking 1 three times day. Is that enough?
did you take your measurements before you began the challenge. If so, take them again and compare. I am sure you will be happy with the results. If not, take them now and then again in a few weeks. Best of luck!
OMG, I totally thought that the pics in the book are typical results and that the program guarantees you will look like that after only 12 weeks. I've been so discouraged, my results have been minimal. I mean I really went into this thing wanting to win the contest. I've got a little less than 4 weeks left, so we'll see what happens, maybe it will kick in at the end? I'm not giving up. If my results aren't what I was hoping for, I'm still glad I'm doing BFL. I feel great.
jacksonsoxfan and forgiveandforget:
You are both absolutely right not to give up! Even if we don't win the contest - the health rewards, the sense of accomplishment, the energy level and just "feeling great" are the BEST rewards from this challenge. Keep up the good work and keep measuring your results. You may not get there as fast as you would like - BUT YOU WILL GET THERE! :o)
I've realized through this transformation that my body changes faster than my mind. What I mean by that is I was still feeling fat on the inside (because I had been overweight for so long) even though I had transformed my body into an athletic fat burning machine. Sometimes I will still have to look at my after pictures to reassure myself that I am lean and strong. I really try to work on being as positive as possible but there is a bit of that negative voice still lingering inside.
In the past if someone gave me a compliment I would think (yeah right?) now I take it and believe it. I know that I've come along way and my journey is a continuing one. I have patients with myself and love my new lifestyle and attitude.
We are all a work in progress!
I love this quote by Bill Phillips:
"The limits you are living with right now, in every aspect of your existence, have been created by your mind. They are perceptions. And they are holding you back. You are capable of far more than you think you are."
I just want to thank you all for your responses and support! I do refer back to the book and it helps me through the process but it is also nice to have real people who went through or are going through the same journey, ups and downs to "talk" to and get guidance. I know I have a long way to go (on week 8 of my first of three challenges needed to get to where I need to be to be healthy) and sometimes just get frustrated at not seeing the results as quickly as I think I should with all the work I'm doing. Patience is something I've always struggled with and still need to work on in my life overall. I agree thought, most importantly is the fact that no matter how much weight or dress sizes I drop, I have started a lifetime change and will come through this feeling better than if I never would've tried in the first place. Thanks again! and good luck to all in your journey to a new life and a new you.

Sex Talk Realness: Female Masturbation
Anna Breslaw
Sex Advice
December 11, 2013
Flickin' it: Who, what, where, why, how, and is porn involved? Three real women speak anonymously.
At what age did you first start masturbating?
Woman A:
Probably around 5 or 6.
Woman B:
18? 19? Freshman in college.
Woman C:
Less than 4? I don't ever remember not doing it (once I realized what it was). My neighbors, who were sisters, all 1-3 years older than me, told me about it. This is a super weird concept for me now that I'm an adult, but it was really innocent since there was no comprehension or apprehension. Just hey, check out this cool thing I discovered, like it was a new game.
Were you aware of what masturbation was?
Woman A:
No, definitely not. I finally realized what it was when I was 11 or 12 and read Judy Blume's
(Blume actually used the word "masturbation" so I was able to make the connection). After that, my mother gave me a Catholic book cataloguing every single sin (to be used before going to confession) and I found that "masturbation" was listed under the sins for "Thou shall not commit adultery." After that point I stopped masturbating for around 2 to 3 years. (I swear I'm not as crazy as I used to be).
Woman B:
Woman C:
No, I didn't actually understand what it was until I was probably 9 or 10. This is when I started watching "more mature" movies/television, and when I remember kids talking about sex in general. So once that became a conversation I had a basic knowledge of, it became very obvious that's what I was tapping into with that particular activity.
What was your early-years masturbation technique?
Woman A:
Just clitoral stimulation. I also for some reason always laid on my stomach.
Woman B:
Just your classic finger-clitoral stimulation.
Woman C:
Rubbing on pillows or whatever felt good. The most rudimentary stuff for many, many years.
Has it changed over the years or do you still masturbate the way you did when you first started?
Woman A:
It's still the same, but I no longer lay on my stomach. I don't know why I did that?
Woman B:
I stick with the classics.
Woman C:
No, that would be quite the quirk. There weren't any big changes until high school, once I was actually partaking in sex with a boyfriend. I didn't try anything new on my own, but once I knew other things felt better they were incorporated.
How quickly are you able to get yourself off?
Woman A:
Very, very quickly. It probably only takes me a minute or two, but obviously I like to enjoy it, so I usually stretch it out to make it last longer (also, better orgasms that way).
Woman B:
If I'm in a time crunch I could probably have a go in about 5 minutes?
Woman C:
Very fast if there is something or someone else there, i.e. masturbating in front of my boyfriend or porn, I'd say 5 minutes once I'm actually doing it. If there is nothing else happening by myself, nothing to see and/or hear, closer to 20 minutes.
How quickly do you come from sex?
Woman A:
I am capable of coming from sex without fingering my clitoris but I don't usually choose to. I can come from sex alone after about 10 to 20 minutes. With using both I can come in under 5 minutes (again, I don't usually choose to make it that fast).
Woman B:
Penetration? Rarely, if ever. Depends on the guy. Def not in five minutes.
Woman C:
Pretty fast, 5 to 10 minutes, but I usually come multiple times during sex. On average every 3-5 minutes after the initial orgasm. This very new though, just in the last year, I feel like I went through a second puberty.
Do you find that masturbation has helped you articulate what you enjoy with your partner/what helps you get off?
Woman A:
I don't really think that it was masturbation that did that. I think it was dating a man who made me totally comfortable with my sexuality. I used to be extremely embarrassed about masturbating. I didn't tell any of my friends in middle school or early high school and kind of thought that I was the only one who did it. My first boyfriend asked me if I did, and I'm a horrible liar, so he quickly discovered that I did. He helped me to realize that it was totally normal (something that my Catholic mother would never have talked with me about).
Woman B:
I don't think so? But then again, I haven't exactly been with a guy that I feel like being "chatty" with. Is that weird?
Woman C:
Yes, I recommend it to friends when they're having trouble, too. Most of the problems my friends tell me about, in my opinion, could be improved upon by either practicing on their own or incorporating masturbation into sex with their partner. It's really important to find out what feels good to you, not just what is supposed to feel good.
Have you ever bought a vibrator? Why/why not?
Woman A:
Ugh, god. I really hate vibrators. I bought one at one of those corny at-home sex toy parties when I was in college (that was my first one). Vibrators depress me for some reason. They make me feel like "I wasn't able to find a man to fuck me, so I settled for this lousy vibrator instead." I think I'd rather just have a one night stand than use a vibrator, since I'm so easy to get off. I even much prefer to just use my hand than having some artificial dick in me. Although, now that I really like having both vaginal and clitoral stimulation, and I have much better orgasms with both, I should give the ol' vibrator a try again.
Woman B:
I swear this is going to be my year! I want one, then I get squeamish, then I want one, and then I actually saw the Rabbit in person at Babeland and my whole body seized in fear. I guess I just don't know what I really want in a sex toy. Plus, I'm getting myself off just fine.
Woman C:
Technically, no, but I had a boyfriend buy one for me as a parting gift when we were entering a long distance relationship. I spend my disposable income on food.
If so, do you use it?
Woman A:
No, I tossed it my senior year of college.
Woman B:
[See above.]
Woman C:
I never use it because it's so loud, but it was a very nice present! It's the famous Hitachi Magic Wand and it's too rough for me. Every once in awhile, if my roommates are not at home, I'll bring it out along with layers to protect me and make it actually very enjoyable.
Do you use your imagination, watch porn, look at pictures, or misc.?
Woman A:
I definitely watch porn, another thing I feel guilty about because a lot of the porn industry is so fucked up, and I don't, like, pay to watch ethical porn or anything. I just like watching what's free on the internet.
Woman B:
Imagination and porn.
Woman C:
All of the above, I'm the female "Don Jon" minus the addiction, but I prefer sex with another person. The mental and emotional aspects make it way more interesting.
If you watch porn, what kind?
Woman A:
I watch a lot of lesbian porn, but I find it pretty unrealistic most of the time, which isn't very hot. I also like anal and dominatrix-y stuff. I also love James Deen (like any other straight-ish girl). I think his porn is ridiculously hot.
Woman B:
If straight, I enjoy a good male authority figure role play (teacher, boss, etc). But I also tend to enjoy most lesbian porn (meaning two women, not porn for lesbians) that doesn't focus as much as being as raunchy as possible? I guess when it comes to porn, the less cinéma vérité the better.
Woman C:
Whatever looks interesting and is free. When I first started watching porn though, I only watched girl-on-girl just because the guys made me really uncomfortable and whenever they were involved it was all about them. Plus I didn't want to risk seeing something that felt less-than-consensual, and it functioned as a safety net against seeing that happening. Now, I prefer the guys being there as long as it looks like everyone is happy to be there.
Are you embarrassed to admit you watch it?
Woman A:
No, not really. Maybe to a public stadium full of people. Well, also I would never, ever tell my mother. I guess I might if she was a normal person.
Woman B:
I used to be. I didn't think other girls would watch porn unless their man wanted them to. Totally a result of not really exploring my sexuality until now.
Woman C:
No, but I don't bring it up. I feel guilty because I know the odds of me finding something where all parties are really happy to be doing what they're doing for an anonymous audience are incredibly slim.
Do you talk about masturbation with female friends?
Woman A:
Oh, definitely! I don't spare any details from my female friends. We talk about techniques, if we use vibrators or not, how long it takes to get off (basically most of the questions this survey asked).
Woman B:
Only recently. Some of my friends still get really uncomfortable talking about it. It upsets me! If I had known that other girls were masturbating I wouldn't have waited as long as I did to do it myself! In high school, guys would joke about masturbation all the time and everyone would laugh. It was cool for them. But if I would have made a joke about that I'm sure I would have been shipped off to Nun Island. It kind of bothers me in retrospect about the conversational limit that women put on themselves and their sexuality. I GET OFF, SO CAN YOU! (JK kinda.)
Woman C:
If they ask; hell yes, but most do not. Even if a female friend is asking me for advice about sex with a partner, they still seem to shy away from the topic, even though it really would help!

Bulk Balls
Name: Malted Milk Balls
As I've stated before, I love malt. I will eat spoonfuls of Ovaltine malted milk powder straight from the jar. Good malt balls are not easy to find. First, they have to be covered with real chocolate. Those egg-shaped ones available around Easter are usually some fake chocolate compound and too sweet. The best bet is usually in the bulk candy aisle at the grocer if they carry Harmony Foods bulk chocolate covered malted milk balls.
Earlier this week I placed a bulk order from Wilbur and one of the items was their Malted Milk Balls. These are not simply malted milk balls covered with a thin layer of chocolate, they're super thick with high-quality milk chocolate. The malt inside is crisp, large and very malty with a touch of salt.
They are by far the best malted milk balls I've had in my life. My big question is if anyone knows if naked malt balls exist, you know, just the malt balls without the chocolate coating.

Emperor's Ginger Tea Chocolate
Name: Emperor's Ginger Tea Chocolate
A few months ago I reviewed another flavor of this chocolate, the Jasmine Green Tea. To refresh your memory, these are cute little foil-wrapped medallions of rich milk chocolate infused with tea and stacked in a little can. This version is green tea and ginger. If you've been reading candy blog at all, you know I'm a huge chocolate and ginger fan. This take on the combination however, is disappointing.
The chocolate is sweet and smooth, there is not grainyness like I've experienced with other infused chocolates. The bite of the ginger comes across quite quickly, but has less woodsy bite to it than just a slow burn. Don't get me wrong, the peppery feeling is really refreshing, but it tastes more like ginger powder than fresh ginger. I get no hints of tea to it at all.
I do like that there aren't ginger pieces in it, just the pure essence. This is not snacking chocolate, but something to enjoy in small pieces, perhaps with some tea and shortbread. The packaging is really nice and my purchases of this brand have always been fresh, but the price is a bit high.

Name: Aero
I've seen these bars before, usually in import stores, and as I recall I picked up one or something similar in London when I was there. It's basically a milk chocolate Nestle bar that's been whipped into a froth and then quickly molded into a bar. It creates a bit of a lighter feeling treat than a dense chocolate bar.
What's amazing about this is when you look at the bar unwrapped, it looks like a king sized bar, but it weighs about the same as a regular bar. It's overwhelmingly sweet and chocolately smelling. Upon biting into it, it yields easily, more like marshmallow or fudge than chocolate. In fact, that's what it resembles most to me, fudge. It's definitely very chocolatey, a little sticky feeling in the mouth, but because of all the air, it melts fast, bursting on the tongue.
Note that because of the bubbles, I suspect that it's a little more prone to softening in the summer warmth than other bars, so you might want to store this one in the fridge. In fact, I've heard that some folks prefer it that way.
On the whole, it was a pleasant bar. The chocolate is very milky, as European chocolate usually is and if you like that, you won't be disappointed. I find European milk chocolate tastes a little like powdered milk to me which is not an entirely pleasant reminder.
My rating: 6 out of 10.

Wha Guru Chew
Name: Wha Guru Chew
Reading over the ingredients list, I'm wondering what this has to do with the Yogi Bhajan. But I suppose even the most enlightened among us wants a sweet now and then. While there's nothing bad about these caramel nut bars, they contain no trans fat and use brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice instead of corn syrup, I'm struggling with the health food aspects of this. Aw hell, let's just call it candy and be done with it.
These are fab. I can't tell you how fab these are. The caramel is flavorful and soft, the nuts are fresh and crunchy and the smell is pure buttery sweetness. The only problem I have with them is that they're very soft, so you taking them out of the package is nearly impossible and even getting the package open without scissors ended up too much of a challenge for me.
Cashew Vanilla - the right sweet notes of vanilla blended with buttery cashews. There are also sunflower seeds in here, which add an extra crunch and earthy taste to the bar to balance the sweetness of the caramel. A little touch of salt balances it all out.
Almond Ginger - it doesn't smell quite as inviting as the cashew vanilla bar (I don't think ginger smells that good inherently, as it has a rooty/earthy smell). But biting into this bar wipes away any hesitation that this bar will be as good as the former. The ginger pops out as a spicy base for the sugary caramel and the mild almonds. A slight trace of lemon zest links all the flavors together well.
Peanut Cashew - this one diverges from the recipe of the above two which are sweetened primarily with brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice. This is sweetened with clover honey (and barley malt syrup). This honey base makes for a less viscous caramel but really amps up the flavor. The first tone you get upon biting into it is a strong orange essence. In addition to the peanuts and cashews are sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. Of the three this was my least favorite, though still worthy of trying.

Chimes Ginger Chews
Name: Chimes Ginger Chews
How could you not love something that comes in this nifty tin? Chimes has three different kinds of ginger chews, Peppermint (this review), Peanut Butter Ginger (previous review) and Ginger. I believe that The Ginger People also have the same repetoire and that these are all probably made in the same factory somewhere in Indonesia.
There are about 14 of these individually wrapped chews stuffed into this tin. The lid slides back for dispensing, though they're jammed in there pretty good and not that easy to just dump out. Further, when opening the little individual wrappers, the chews sometimes get stuck to the plastic.
Beyond that, once you've got on in your mouth, it's instantly minty. The chew is soft and sticky with a distinct barley sugar note to it (I like that). As you chew, the spicy notes of the ginger come through and as you're done with the chew, the burn of the ginger lasts for quite a while. They're very satisfying but as snacks, I think the packaging is great because I don't think you'd want more than two or three of these at any given time (the peanut butter ones, however, I think lend themselves to greater consumption).
On the whole, now that I've tried all three of these flavor combinations I think I prefer the plain ginger, then the peanut butter and then these. Not that these aren't good, but I don't really think that mint and ginger are the best of all possible flavor matches. The Ginger People also make an Apple Ginger chew that I think I'm going to have to seek out now.

Caffarel Bitter Chocolate with Crocant
Name: Caffarel (Finissimo cioccolato fondente con croccante gentile)
This adorable square bar is from Italy with 57% cocoa content. Unfortunately somewhere along the way it was not stored properly and got a bit of a bloom. In fact, this is a good time to talk about chocolate bloom.
Chocolate is make up for cocoa solids and cocoa butter (and sugar). Sometimes if the chocolate is not tempered properly, or stored improperly (variations in heat) the chocolate will become unstable. This will cause some of the cocoa butter to separate from the cocoa solids and migrate to the surface of the chocolate as "bloom". It looks like some sort of chalky powder or something, but it's just the fat. It's not dangerous, chocolate that's bloomed is edible, though it will probably end up tasting a bit chalky because the cocoa butter is no longer emulsified with the cocoa solids and sugar. Most importantly, it's not mold, though it often looks like it.
The best way to prevent this is to buy fresh chocolate that's been stored properly (stable climate conditions) and then treat it right. When you bring you chocolate home, this gets to be a bit of a tougher proposition. I don't like storing chocolate in the fridge or the freezer because the variations in temperature and humidity when you take it out can be just as bad. So, if you have a cool spot in your kitchen (usually in a lower cupboard or the back of the closet), it should be okay. In my case, I don't have air conditioning and live in Los Angeles, so you can see how even in a protected location, some of my chocolate is going to get melty on the hottest of days. In that case, stick it in the fridge, inside it's packaging and inside a plastic bag of some sort. This will keep the fridge odors from being absorbed and keep it from drying out. Even better, devote a plastic container (good) or glass container (better) with a tight fitting lid for keeping your chocolate. You also might consider throwing a plain old charcoal briquet in there (not one that has added lighter fluid) to absorb odors and any excess moisture). Allow the chocolate to come to room temp before opening and consuming. Otherwise if you open it and there's any humidity around the chocolate will sweat.
The other (best) option is to get a wine fridge. I know, this seems like a large expenditure, but wine fridges are good for more than just wine. You can keep chocolate in there, some cheeses and vegetables. A dorm sized one won't set you back more than a couple hundred. This is where I've taken to keeping my best chocolate. A wine fridge is usually set at about 58 degrees and of course is climate controlled for humidity. A little humidity is okay for chocolate. Really dry air, especially if you have nuts in there will make the chocolate taste chalky, too.
But now, onto the review of the Caffarel bar.
I ate around the bloomed pieces (which was about half the bar). The bar had a very strong vanilla scent to it and though billed as bitter chocolate, I found it much sweeter than many other bars I've tried lately. There are hazelnuts and nougat bits, which gave it a nice crackly component and infused the whole bar with a pleasant toasty tone.
The chocolate was smooth, without a trace of grittiness. Overall, a good bar and a nice portion. Not as waxy as other Italian bars I've had in the past, and I'm eager to try other Caffarel chocolates when I come across them. I'm a fan of the Italian tradition of pairing hazelnuts and chocolate (Perugina's Baci).
Rating: 5 out of 10 (hard call because of the bloom, I'm willing to re-review it if I come across a fresh bar).

Chocolate as Health Food
Name: Renew
From the back of the package:
This is fine Belgian dark chocolate (73% cocoa) infused with black currant and grape flavors. Instead of just candy or a sweet treat, New Tree seems to be pushing the health benefits of chocolate, because it contains more antioxidants than a glass of red wine and 10% of your daily vaulue of vitamin D and phosphorous, 6% of the RDA for zinc and E, 15% of your iron and 20% of your magnesium. In addition, there's a whopping 5 grams of fiber - 22% of the daily requirement!
But health benefits and nutrition aside, unless you want to call these chewable vitamins and make them a chore (and expensive vitamins at that!), taste is what it's all about…
The scent of black currant and grape is quite evident upon opening the inner mylar pouch. The chocolate was a dense, glossy black and heavy for its size. While the scent of the currants is there, the taste isn't. The taste is all chocolate. A strong bitter start with a good melt on the tongue yields a slighly grainy feeling to the chocolate, but not an unpleasant one. Then the grape essence returns as the sweetness develops. It has a very dry finish, much like wine, but sometimes (not always) a bitter lingering note.
The snackability of such a rich combination of flavors isn't really there. I can't see myself munching on this bar, but definitely sampling it, probably in combination with some nuts or pretzels. It would probably go well with an after dinner plate of cheese and dried fruits as well (and wine or cognac).
The New Tree site heralds the other versions of their chocolate, all with enigmatic power names and functions. Pleasure is just pure chocolate. Vigor is chocolate with a boost of coffee and caffeine with guarana. Forgiveness is chocolate with lemon essence and added fiber and purports to halt absorption of fat. Tranquility is milk chocolate (more sugar than the other chocolates) with lime and lavender. Rejoice is milk chocolate flavored with orange and lime and crisped rice added.
They sell these in 2.8 oz bars or in little boxes with 3 x .9 oz bars of the same flavor. What I'd like to see is one box that has one of each for tasting. You can't buy from their website and I haven't seen them anywhere in the stores yet, but I'll keep my eyes open. If you're interested you can email them from the website about availability.

Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops
Name: Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops
These were a huge surprise. I was in Trader Joe's over the weekend, enjoying the fabulous views of candy in the frozen foods aisle and these little fellows just screamed "buy me!" and I did. They're just so adorably cute, with their sunny colors and perfect sunflower seed shapes.
First, I'm a little curious about the actual production of these guys. I mean, it seems like a lot of engineering went into these. The sunflower seeds have a consistent, thin coating of sweet milk chocolate on them and then over that is the thinnest sheath of candy shells. They're all glossy and still have the little point at one end like a bare seed does.
Because the shell is so thin, they crunch immediately and release that familiar sunflower seed taste along with the sweet balance of the light chocolate. The snackability of these is amazing - I could just shovel them into my mouth all day. Whoops, I think I have!
If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, these, available from Candy Warehouse may be similar. I'm not keen to find out on my own, as the last thing I need is FOUR POUNDS. But I'll keep my eye out for the little packages.
As candy goes, they are a bit more wholesome than some other choices. A single serving (about an ounce) boasts 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and 4% of your daily value of calcium and iron. No trans fats at all.

w100mh 92 51 points
Twas fantabulous. I love a shocker and this has to be amongst the biggest in T&F history. Even if Gail hadn't fallen Patoulidou would still have run the race of her life, as it was she ended up with the gold. Met her many years later at the WI's in Lisbon. I was super excited and she couldn't understand why we wanted her picture taken with her. I was far less enthused when I met Carl Lewis
(on the w200m from 88 I remember being blown away, dumbstruck, and thinking OMG how can this woman do this??? My next thought was the East Germans aren't even going to medal, until HD outdipped Ottey on the line. I was as shellshocked as all the women in that final I think. Amazing, crazy, inhuman and surreal! How Kersee turned her into the ultimate running machine we will never truly know but it was an historic run)
w100mh..one of mine. It wasnt the best on times and certainly didnt have the best line up ever, but it did deliver excitement. Devers was off my radar going into the Games TBH. I knew who she was back in 88 as she was a great all-rounder and of course in 91 she ran well in the hurdles in Tokyo (but I challenge anyone who says they thought she would win the 100m gold; I'm sure no one believed she would - except maybe herself and Kersee) That she did win the 100m we then all thought the 100mh would be a formality and it was for 80m. Then her fantastic c0ck-up and spectacular fall across the line, to still finish in a fast time!
What was great about this was that the old guard in Donkova, the defending champion and WR holder, was able to medal in her last Olympics, as well as that crazy Greek Patoulidou.
I did feel a snippet of sorrow for Devers but then afterwards I must admitt I was happy she didnt win. Yes, this may come across as evil, but by 92 I was so over Kersee taking women from also rans to amazing world beaters. But she did make for a great race.

Great service and food – I've been to Christine's many times... mostly for the perogis (sp?)... and every time i go there i make sure to get something i've never had. The salmon was great, so was the veg sandwich, and every soup they serve is amazing! Especially the rice soup and chili. My boyfriend likes the rib and chicken combination meal... which is huge with awesome redskin potatoes and curly fries. Christine's has a great atmosphere, very relaxed and quiet. And many people say its not romantic, but my boyfriend and I often bring a bottle of wine and enjoy eachother's company and the food there. I would recommend anything on the menu to everyone!
Bomb Burrito, Anyone? – I became hooked when I tried the bomb burrito. This giant burrito, easily weighing over two pounds when fully loaded, has something addictive in its homemade salsa. The tuscan chicken (on the dinner menu) is great as well. I love Christine's. My only complaint is that I wish they were open for breakfast as well, only because I know it would be delicious. num num num num
Always consistantly delicious food! – My husband and I both LOVE this place! It's so deceiving being in a strip mall and it's a small place, but the food is worth it! They have excellent perogi's, the Bomb burrito is delicious, the black bean salad is my absolute favorite & I could go on and on about everthing on that menu. I've had most of the dishes & they've all been fantastic! Quaint, very nice staff, unique atmosphere & a fantastic variety of foods on the menu. It's everything from polish to Italian to Mexican to American! They also have absolutly fantastic homemade desserts!
The coolest little find! – Although you would never guess it from the strip mall exterior, this place is a gem. Excellent salads and soups daily, as well as comfort fare like meatloaf, pasta, and potato pancakes. Because it's pretty reasonably priced and I live nearby, I eat here all the time, and I have never had anything I didn't like. Good for both vegetarians and meateaters, it's a local favorite with good reason.
You can't pass this up! – We were startled to find this wonderful place located so closely to us! Our first trip there had us hooked! The pierogies are out of this world -- the service top-notch. If you're looking for the typical "trendy" Ferndale/Royal Oak atmosphere, you certainly won't find it at Christine's, but if you're in the mood for an incredible meal and a stellar wait staff, you are in luck!! This has become my fiance's and my Friday night take-out of choice!! Four of four stars in our book :)

Write drunk, edit sober.

Yes, you heard it right! Clark Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, US, in their quest for innovation in higher education, has decided to use insights from the legendary pop star's life to teach business management to its students. Titled 'Michael Jackson: The Business of Music', the course is part of the MBA concentration in Sports and Entertainment Management offered by the university. The course will look into MJ's billion dollar empire – his deals, negotiations, merchandising, real estate and legal practices. The announcement came on August 29, coinciding with the birthday of the late pop star.
But can any discussion on Jackson's life ever be complete without the numerous controversies the pop icon was embroiled in. Aren't these very significant factors in the life of a man who the course plans to present as a role model to future managers? PaGaLGuY got in touch with Dr. Charles Moses, dean (acting), School of Business, Clark Atlanta University, through e-mail. "I recently read some mini-biographies of some of the world's great composers. Many had lives which were enmeshed in controversies of one type or another. We won't run from the negatives, but we will emphasise Michael Jackson's achievements in business," he said, dismissing claims of a negative impact of these controversies on the course and students.
What's more, the institute claims to have heard from representatives of the Jackson family. Although refusing to divulge the capacity in which they will be associated with the program, Dr. Moses informed, "I heard last week from a representative of one of the Jackson family who will be meeting with me here in Atlanta. We think we will be successful in winning the family's support for the MBA program." PaGaLGuY was also told that the course enjoys the support of other US-based musical stars. "We are building formal associations with a variety of artists, one of who is the R&B artist NeYo," he added.
While he built a successful business empire, the King of Pop was in debt at the time of his death. So, doesn't that go against the basic idea of the course? "He was a very good businessman and owned some very, very valuable musical rights (the Beatles and Elvis Presley). Many other famous musical artists were not good at business. The course will incorporate those aspects to teach students about the less romantic parts of a very tough and competitive business. Michael Jackson in debt is a case quite different from that of others. It is a good lesson for budding music and sport impresarios," answered Dr. Moses.
Although the course will focus on business dealings from a different era, the institute also plans to factor in contemporary business practices. The pedagogy will include case studies (which the institute will develop) and simulations modelled on best practices. The b-school has roped in former entertainment attorney James Walker to teach the course. Apart from him, faculty from the b-school and industry professionals will also teach parts of the course. The course is slated to begin in August 2013 and will cost USD 30000 per year.

chowdarip I envy the western education styles. They can easily study about MJ or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or successful and failed corporates, entrepreneurs and business problems so openly. We are yet to reach such maturity; our Business Houses feel shy to share the complex problems faced or business strategies adopted or innovations of leaders for academic / case studies. Most of the information is got from media and press.

Reviewed Jun. 20, 2011
This satisfied my sweet tooth. It is thick and very creamy. I felt like I was having a rich treat when in fact I was enjoying a guilt free treat! I made the whole batch, poured out 1 serving and froze the rest. The next day, I took another serving out of the freezer, let it sit on the counter for a bit and then blended it again. Delish treat again without the fuss of throwing it together!

The Upright Man – Thomas Sankara: 26th Anniversary.
In 1983 Thomas Sankara at the age of 32 deposed the dictator of Upper Volta, West Africa. One of his first acts was to change the name of the country to Burkina Faso 'The land of the Upright People'. In the following four years of his rule he attempted to implement some of post-independence Africa's most radical reform measures, including the emancipation of women, self-sufficiency programs. Sankara shunned the riches of power and continued as a vocal critic of neo-colonialism until his assassination on the 15th October 1987. Continue reading

The Malian Griot in the Modern Era
Dublin, Ireland:
As a big fan of Malian music, it is always a pleasure to have an opportunity to meet one of the greats. I have always been humbled by their approachability and the everyday things that they want to talk about, if given the chance. In this sense Bassekou Kouyate was no different. As he lay back in the cupped jazz club style seating of the Sugar Club in Dublin, I greeted him with my one and only Fulani word, 'Jarama', to which he replied in a stream of Fula. Continue reading

Dell as a pioneer in the industry has recently released first line of consumer desktop computers and notebooks with pre-installed Linux, Ubuntu 7.04. Dell Ubuntu has lots offer, Ubuntu is extremely powerful, practical, absolutely free, and ready-to-run desktop Linux distribution, which is highly compatible for mainstream use.
As a few of my personal friends – and the crews in various IRC channels I haunt with my entirely off-topic discussions – know, I've just recently become the proud owner of not only my very first iPod – but a beautiful 5th generation one at that!
Those of you that are long time readers may remember my previous article on Saving Bandwidth With Multiple Machines Using Apt-Cacher. With the next Ubuntu release coming down the pike in just a few weeks I wanted to revisit this article for those of you that will be upgrading via aptitude. If you have multiple machines you'll really want to look into setting this up!
How does the current version of OpenOffice.org (OOo) compare with Microsoft Office in its ability to produce slide presentations? The last time I tried to answer that question, two years ago, both OOo Impress and Microsoft PowerPoint had features that the other lacked. To see how the two programs compare now, I installed Microsoft Office 2007 and OpenOffice.org 2.3, and went through the process of designing a slide show from start to finish. To my surprise, the results were more decisive than in my last comparison. They're not enough to award a knockout victory, but, even based on points, the winner is clear.
I've been playing more and more with virtualization lately. Partly in testing Ubuntu alpha and beta releases but also testing the folding project installer and compatibility with multiple distributions. You may have seen my previous tutorials on installing VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.04 or installing VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.10. This tutorial should maintain compatibility with either host (servers running 7.04 or 7.10) in installing vmware tools within the Ubuntu guests.
Gimmie is a unique desktop organizer and panel replacement for the GNOME desktop environment. The easiest way is to use Gimmie is as a panel applet in the GNOME panel, but there is also a stand-alone version as well. Gimmie is even being considered for the next version of GNOME.
In Ubuntu 7.10, the Gimmie panel applet is very simple to install.
Intel VT-x is a set of processor enhancements to improve virtualization performance. In theory, VT-x should allow for near-native speed in a virtual machine. VirtualBox, a popular open source virtualization program, recently added a check box to turn on VT-x or AMD's AMD-V equivalent. But VirtualBox's site warns that enabling it may reduce the performance of a virtual machine:
If you are an Ubuntu fan you would have tried out their ShipIt service which delivers the Ubuntu CDs for free at your door step. The service is currently down as they are preparing to start the shipment of the upcoming release of Ubuntu which would be Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).
There is a Macromedia Flash option that will install the Flash pug-in for Mozilla. This was a big deal to me. In the past (and I expected to do this again), I had installed Automatix to get the Flash working as well as the codecs one needs to watch videos and hear music. Automatix worked fine for me but I did think that this is something that I shouldn't have to do.
So I put a check in the box and clicked the Apply Changes button. Well, faster than I could take a screenshot, Ubuntu found the plugin online, downloaded it and I was good to go. Excellent.
Gnash is an open source player for Adobe's Flash format. It can be used as an alternative to Adobe's proprietary player. The upcoming Ubuntu 7.10 release includes automatic installation of either Adobe Flash or Gnash. I decided to put this feature to the test in Ubuntu 7.10 Beta.
On my last post I wrote about the "Liquid Rescale Plug-in" for Gimp and published an image that I resized. Now I'll show how to make it step-by-step.
Many of you know that I've been running and testing Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy" since early in the alpha stage. There have been no show stoppers and its been fun to see the development continue to happen, and be able to contribute to that by submitting bugs.
Full Circle - the Ubuntu Community Magazine has released issue #5, with great how-tos, interviews and articles.
This issue comes with:
Get it while it's hot! The English language versions can be downloaded here. English language only at the moment, translations on the way.
Assault Cube is an open source 3d shooter done in the old school deathmatch style of gameplay, but with much newer graphics. Gameplay is especially good in this game due to the way it's implemented. Unlike the original Cube and Cube 2 on which it's built, Action Cube provides you with a much better and fuller gaming experience.
If you spend most of your computing life in Firefox, it makes sense to consolidate other online activities in your browser. There are extensions that can help you to do just that: you can manage your bookmarks with the del.icio.us extension, chat on IRC channels using Chatzilla, and read RSS feeds in Sage. Jabber instant messaging users have their own extension: the SamePlace, a nifty IM client that, besides the basic Jabber functionality, offers a few unique and useful features.
In proprietary software, Web page design is dominated by Adobe's Dreamweaver and Microsoft's FrontPage. Free software users have witnessed the rise and fall of several Web design apps, but it has been a while since a new one debuted. Now the next new release is here -- KompoZer, heir to the Mozilla Composer legacy and updated for today's technology.
This document describes how to set up the light-weight Conky system monitor on Ubuntu 7.04. Conky is a desktop widget that is able to display most diverse information like CPU temperature, current used network-bandwith or anything you want. You can customize the whole layout including colors and fonts.
In this second and final part I'll demonstrate some of the loop-specific tools I've found in Ardour, Reaper, and Audacity. Tutorials and links to project demos are included, so warm up your headphones and let's get loopy.

This document explains how to set up the VMware Tools in the following guest operating systems: Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, PCLinuxOS 2007 and Debian Etch. Installing VMware Tools in your guest operating systems will help maximize performance, provide mouse synchronization and copy & paste functionality. This article also shows a way of making VMware Tools start automatically when you start a guest operating system.
The gnome main menu applet was created as another effort for people to try and use awn and get rid of all their gnome bars. Well as another stride in this direction more has been added to this applet.
So I keep hearing all these great improvements coming down the pipe for KDE and v4.0. I know much of it is available in the repositories and while considered beta at this stage when have I been afraid of a little bleeding edge?
Yep, that's right - We need you! Radio Amarok is currently in it's Research and Development phase, and we're looking for Artists to showcase on the station.
Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue #59 for the week September 23rd - September 29th, 2007. In this issue we cover the Ubuntu 7.10 Beta release, newly approved LoCo team and Ubuntu members , LoCos participating in Ohio LinuxFest 2007, and, as always, much much more!
Now that I am using Gutsy and a Ubuntu based wallpaper background, I thought I would make a Ubuntu theme for awn and share it with all of you.

Question: True Detective is by far my new favorite show! The acting, storyline, intensity (especially last week's episode on Feb. 9) is incredible!
I've heard that this is just a miniseries. However, with the good ratings and reviews as it is getting, any word on a possible renewal of a second season? - Mike
Matt Roush: Though it hasn't been officially renewed yet, that seems to be just a formality at this point, especially since HBO has signed the show's creator Nic Pizzolatto to a two-year deal. Which means more True Detective, although whatever happens, it will be a very different True Detective in seasons to come. Because this is one of those franchises that occupies the territory somewhere between miniseries and anthology, not unlike American Horror Story but potentially with less of a repertory ensemble feel. If/when True Detective returns, it will be with new stars, new characters, a new locale and new focus, so don't get too attached to Rust Cohle and Marty Hart, although I understand why you would be.

post #41 of 70
1/18/07 at 7:17pm
My older two are 2 years apart and I've always been asked if they are twins. Now I get asked if I have 2 sets of twins. The girls look like they are sisters, but no way twins, IMO. The oldest one is a good 4 inches taller than her sister. One time a girl was eyeballing the twins (who are b/g and look nothing alike, btw) and i could see the gears rolling around and finally she says, "how far apart are they?" and I said, "oh, about 8 minutes." And she gave me this look of total confusion. I said, "They are twins." Forehead smack.
None of the twin comments I've recieved can top the one my friend and I got when my dd #2 was first born. She was about 7 or 8 months pg with her ds and holding my newborn dd in a store. She was VERY big and very obviously pg. Somebody came up and asked her how oldher baby was, lol. She's like, 'um... she's not my baby but she is x weeks old...'
Hi ladies!
I always get the "I bet your hands are full" and my usual comeback is "better full than empty".
I get the paternal/maternal question all the time! What do they mean? And how do you answer it? I have gotten from a twin mom too - I have no clue how to respond to that. (without being insulting).
Oh, I got this comment yesterday which reminded me that I had heard it once before: "They look like they could be twins!" What did you THINK they were? People are strange.

You know it's funny, but for some reason I've been fascinated by Nikola Tesla arcana recently. I don't know what it was, but I rented the (really dark and pretty disturbing) Christopher Nolan film The Prestige the other week, just to watch the parts where one character travels from England to Colorado Springs to talk to Tesla – awesomely played by David Bowie, I might add, and with his assistant being played by Andy Serkis (live and in person with no Golum CGI!).
Tesla was, to put it mildly, a towering genius, and decades ahead of his time. He was crushed down by Big Business (with a big help from Thomas Edison), but that didn't stop many of his ideas (e.g. alternating current) from being adopted. But other than via the Tesla Coil (zzzzzZZAP!), unless you're a physicist, you probably don't know that much about him. Which is a damn shame that some people are trying to change. Hence this Kickstarter project.
Project Title: Electricity | The Life Story of NIKOLA TESLA
Status: Active
Closing Date for Funding: 9/9/2012
URL of the Project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tesla/electricity-the-life-story-of-nikola-tesla
From the Creatives:
Los Angeles based documentary television producer Wil Cashen, who has used the Serbian-American inventor's story to inspire his own life's work (he created the first electric pickup truck for Ford), refuses to let his hero remain in obscurity any longer. Cashen has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the third phase of the docu-drama, "Electricity: The Story and Life of Nikola Tesla" - http://kck.st/OfEd2N
It is shaping up to be the perfect time for the American public to finally learn about the history of Tesla, or to revisit what little they might already know about the man. Whether its online blog The Oatmeal's successful campaign to convert Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower into a museum honoring him, or even the rumored biopic starring Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale (who also starred in Christopher Nolan's Tesla-influenced "The Prestige"), Tesla's visionary work and bittersweet biography are as astonishing and relevant as ever.
Of the existing media projects concerning the life of Tesla, only "Electricity" allows fans of this unsung genius to take an active role in correcting the wrongs done to this man's life and legacy, while also bringing awareness of his monumental contributions to the public at large. Among this project's supporters is magician Marco Tempest, who generously allowed his popular TED talk regarding Tesla to be featured on the Kickstarter campaign page for "Electricity." In addition to literally changing history, Kickstarter contributors will also receive great Tesla merchandise, such as exclusive shirts, figurines, solar iPhone case-chargers, and even a chance to be part of the "Electricity" cast.
