The UN has launched their largest ever appeal, and the International Federation of the Red Cross has also revised their existing appeals for Syria's border countries to £48million. The Red Cross are due to revise their appeal for Syria itself in the coming weeks as the numbers in need there rose to 6.8million.
Last month the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) extended their budget for Syria to £70m, making it in budgetary terms their largest operation of 2013.
Katy Attfield, head of Disaster Management for British Red Cross, said:
"Right now there are millions of people facing a desperate situation and there is no sign of a solution. The humanitarian situation both inside Syria and the neighbouring countries is worsening, which is why the Red Cross Red Crescent are scaling up support. We will need to provide aid for some time to come, and that takes money and resources."
The British Red Cross is supporting the work of the Syrian Red Crescent and other Red Cross societies in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. One project, a cash transfer programme in Jordan, is due to run out of funding next month.
"Jordan has at least 500,000 refugees, and the majority are living within Jordanian communities. The cash programme in northern Jordan supports both the refugees and the communities who are housing them, but these resources are not infinite."
The British Red Cross is appealing for funds for Syria and the region, and has provided aid including ambulances, food, blankets and emergency shelter.

* Energy shares fall 3.8 pct on latest crude price tumble
* Japan, China data disappoints
* McDonald's falls after November sales
* Indexes: Dow off 0.7 pct, S&P 0.8 pct, Nasdaq down 1 pct (Updates to early afternoon trading)
By Caroline Valetkevitch
NEW YORK, Dec 8 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Monday, putting the S&P 500 on track for its biggest daily percentage decline since October, as energy shares fell with oil prices and global growth concerns rose following soft data out of China and Japan.
Energy was easily the worst-performing S&P sector, down 3.8 percent, as Brent crude fell to a five-year low on predictions oversupply would keep building until next year. The index is down more than 10 percent for the year, making it the only one of the 10 major S&P sectors in negative territory for the year.
But most growth-oriented sectors were down on Monday as well, suggesting investors were avoiding riskier areas of the market.
Data showed China's exports grew at a slower-than-expected pace and imports dropped 6.7 percent in November, while Japan's economy shrank more than expected in the third quarter.
In response to falling oil prices, ConocoPhillips said its capital budget for 2015 would drop 20 percent to $13.5 billion. Conoco shares lost 3.6 percent.
"I think people are looking at the potential ripple effects from the slide in oil. You're seeing some of these ripple effects today," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
Several of the year's biggest gainers also sold off, which may be due to some year-end profit-taking, James said. Among them, Apple was down 2.4 percent, while GoPro shares were down 5.3 percent.
Volume picked up after midday, while the S&P 500 moved more than 21 points from its high for the day to its low, its largest high-to-low swing in more than a month.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 118.34 points, or 0.66 percent, to 17,840.45, the S&P 500 lost 16.76 points, or 0.81 percent, to 2,058.61 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 47.53 points, or 0.99 percent, to 4,733.22.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,197 to 870, for a 2.53-to-1 ratio on the downside; on the Nasdaq, 1,942 issues fell and 772 advanced for a 2.52-to-1 ratio favoring decliners.
Concerns over the global economy were offset by signs of strength in the U.S. economy, including Friday's payrolls report. The S&P 500 closed Friday's session with its 49th record of the year, and is up more than 11 percent from an October low.
McDonald's shares lost 3.7 percent after the fast-food restaurant chain reported a steeper-than-expected fall in global same-restaurant sales in November and said fourth-quarter results would be hurt by a supplier scandal in China and a stronger dollar.

Ebwambwa Primary School
Kakamega Central, Sheywe, Sichirayi
I am the oldest of four. I try to set a good example for them and try to help them often. I help clean my siblings and keep them in good hygiene. My parents grow and sell sukumawiki, which is a popular vegetable. In school my favorite subject is science. In my spare time, I enjoy reading story books. I also have dreams for the future. I want to be a lawyer, so I can help get rid of corruption and help the people in this country. I will observe how other lawyers are doing. I am so happy to have the LifeStraw Community purifiers in my school. Before, many students had stomach aches, and they didn't' have water to drink. Now they are able to drink clean water with no stomach ache. When I was sick, I was sent to the hospital for 2 days. The cost was 100KSh for admission. I haven't been sick since the LifeStraw has come and I am hopeful I won't get sick in the future.

SEEK MAKE and SHARE the power of Story from the heart of San Francisco to the wilderness of Yosemite National Park.
May 29-31 | San Francisco, CA
Legendeer is art in action. The Symposium will be an intensive and immersive experience that puts the emphasis on the action: shaping stories, not just talking about them. We are curating a faculty from diverse areas of the creative world: painters, photographers, writers, athletes, educators and entrepreneurs to demonstrate the way they seek out stories and evolve a personal voice that stands out from the crowd. Learn proven, scalable processes in ideation, creative voice development, authoring intellectual property, and building a life of rich experiences that inspire and inform your work. Equip yourself with everything you need to bring your most important projects to life.
June 1-6 | Yosemite, CA
Put everything that you've learned from the Symposium into action, as our faculty and a select group of attendees set up basecamp in Yosemite National Park. We'll wake early each morning in hand-built yurts at Camp Wawona, gather our daily creative challenges, and listen over breakfast as our wilderness experts reveal the history of the region in an open air amphitheater. From there, we'll set out for adventure in Yosemite National Park, where our groups will document their experiences through photography, writing, and drawing. Venture from the "Grizzly Giant" tree in Mariposa Grove to the mist of Yosemite Falls, made famous by Ansel Adams. Back at camp, several yurts will serve as designated workshops, where we will take our raw ideas and observations, and through the Legendeer process, craft them into powerful creative statements. Day's end will find us gathered around the campfire to share our stories, ambitions, and vision for the creative life we want to lead.
Your experience at Legendeer
Legendeer is an opportunity to work directly with our Faculty to shape and refine your entire creative life: from the pursuit and documentation of inspiring experiences, to the processes used to develop and execute powerful works of art, music, writing and performance.
Idea generation and refinement techniques will be explained, and then demonstrated by multiple instructors at the same time, so you can see how they author, frame and solve creative problems. Explore your own processes and get feedback on how they can be improved.
Panel discussions and interviews with instructors explore the connections between their life experiences and the work you know them for. Discussions will be open, so if you have something to ask, or something to contribute, the floor is yours. We want to share the information that is usually overlooked, and answer burning questions on the 'how' and 'why' of being a full-time creator.
Bring your own ideas for artworks, stories, and projects to the table during breakout sessions. Take them apart, refine them, and recombine them in more powerful ways. Discuss your projects with Instructors and define a clear vision for how to bring them to fruition.
Performances and live painting will bring you as close as you can get to being in the artists' studios. Evening activities will take us out into San Francisco to put the principles into action, connect with our creative community, and leave us exhausted and inspired.
Loaded with new techniques and modes of thinking from the Symposium, launch into the wilderness of Yosemite to observe, document and author. Hike at a skill level that suits you, with several dedicated instructors in each small hiking group.
Take advantage of an atmospheric 'basecamp studio' at Camp Wawona, where you can work on ideas generated during the day in a dedicated studio space. Using specific challenges designed around the Legendeer principles, refine your initial observations and experiences into strong ideas and proofs-of-concept, or refine your own paintings, stories and ideas in an amazing creative environment.
Reconnect with the spirit of the land, as our wilderness experts share insight into the history, geology, flora and fauna of Yosemite. See things most people pass by, understand the profound and complex structures of nature, and apply those insights to the creative process.
Spend time with instructors and fellow artists in the shelter of majestic stone formations, around the campfire, and under the stars. Share your ambitions with a community of dedicated, like-minded explorers and discuss the broader strategies for balancing health, work and your own artistic vision.

Teachers from around British Columbia are gathering in Vancouver to review new curriculum material about residential schools and reconciliation.
Up until now B.C. students didn't typically learn about residential schools until Grade 11 social studies. But this fall, new curriculum material will be available for Grades 5, 10, 11 and 12.
Ken Heales, a teacher in Hundred Mile House, is in Vancouver for the conference. He piloted some of the material last year.
"It was quite surprising to me how many of my students really didn't know about it," he said.
"They were shocked to find out this had happened — they wanted to learn more."
Introducing the Indian Residential Schools and Reconciliation Teacher Resource Guides from FNESC and FNSA on Vimeo.
Louise Lacerte, a residential school survivor who has worked in education for 30 years, is also attending the conference.
She is glad to have educational material to help her speak about her experiences with her students and her grandchildren.
"There was an era where we weren't allowed to … share the information or the experiences that we encountered within those schools," said Lecerte.
"So now I think it's turned around where our children's children can start understanding why we are the way we are."
The material for the conference was developed by the First Nations Education Steering Committee and the First Nations Schools Association.
According to FNESC website, the materials are their "response to the call by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada for education bodies to develop age-appropriate educational materials about Indian Residential Schools."

Michelle S. James, Chair
College of Humanities Advisement Center
All degree programs in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages are open enrollment. However, special limitations apply for teaching majors.
Students of foreign language and literature develop fluency in another language as well as sensitivity to their own language and cultural heritage, to the contributions and diversity of other peoples, and to the advantages of an international perspective.
Experience with the intellectual, artistic, and spiritual expressions of other cultures and of their own culture helps students qualify for advanced study at graduate and professional schools, especially in linguistics, literature, language teaching methodology, library science, humanities, business, law, and medicine. Those who accept employment on completion of the BA degree frequently serve in international business, in education, or in a government agency.
The Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages strongly recommends that StDev 317, a 1-credit-hour course, be taken at the end of the sophomore year or the beginning of the junior year. Because liberal arts degrees provide preparation in a variety of useful fields rather than a single career track, this course is recommended to help liberal arts students focus on specific educational and occupational goals and to identify the career options or educational opportunities available to them. The course will introduce them to the resources needed for accessing information about graduate schools, internships, careers, and career development. Students will learn basic employment strategies, including the steps necessary for obtaining employment related to their own specialty.
To receive a BYU bachelor's degree a student must complete, in addition to all requirements for a specific major, the following university requirements:
Certificate of Language Proficiency
Students should see their college advisement center for help or information concerning the undergraduate programs.
MA in Second Language Teaching (SLaT)
For more information see the BYU 2012–2013 Graduate Catalog.

Leather EDC Set, who doesn't need EDC (Every Day Carry) pouches to carry the sundry of stuff that you need every day? I am going to do this post a bit differently than most. The set pictured was commissioned by a gentleman in Plymouth, England that operates a professional plumbing and heating company in the UK. Why no air conditioning you ask? You have to live there to understand (I did, for 3 years and it's beautiful, but not hot). The client needed a set of pouches to carry his Wiha bit driver set, the wallet; his HDS 250 flashlight (called a torch in the UK), the taller sleeve; and his Bose bluetooth headset, the small belt pouch. Sounds like EDC to me!...Read More
This Leather Wrist Brace was made for a customer that pretty much beats his pharmaceutical braces to death. As I understand it he goes through one of the fabric braces monthly. Whether just beating it up or "setting it on fire" as he says while welding his custom drag cars, they just don't last nor support his damaged wrist properly. Apparently other leathersmiths he has contacted to create this stated "it can't be done". We'll, yes it can…see? "Bruzer", as he is called. contacted me a while back with this request and was kind enough to mail me an old brace that I could use both as a pattern and for internal...Read More

Traveler Reviews
Convenient motel near airport
Convenient location for traveling to/from LIB airport as there aren't many hotels near the airport (and the Hilton was not available). Definitely had more of a motel feel with a musky smelling room. Nice pool, good typical food at the restaurant, walking distance to a small (fairly deserted) mall, $25 for a taxi to the airport. Ok if you need a place to stay b/4 your flight.
Perfect for a night..
Used this hotel for a night after arriving into Liberia on a late flight. Rooms were good and laid out well. Breakfast was adequate. Location was great not too far from the airport and on the highway leading to La Fortuna area. Good choice for stopping over for a night before heading out the following morning. Although the hotel name flashes as `Bar and Restaurant, their bar was closed when we arrived at a little past 10 pm. Surprising!!!
Great pool and friendly service
Some people leave the cold of canada to spend months at this hotel! Food is great, jugo natural, real blended fruit, is a great refreshing drink. Big pool and well kept grounds. Air conditioning worked well. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.
Ok if you're passing through
The hotel is more like an enhanced motel. It's big and the outside area is quite pleasant (for example, there is a pool and some greenery), but it is essentially somewhere to sleep on the way to the Nicaraguan border.The rooms are accessed directly from outside. The rooms are fine, although if you get one connected to a neighbouring room by a door, you will hear EVERYTHING in that room.Could be a little cleaner (the towels, although definitely washed, were not spotless).The restaurant is decent, although they could use more staff, as the bartender/waiter was running around trying to keep everyone happy, but there for too many customers so the service ended up slow. Again, the hotel is fine, but not more than that.
Close to Airport!
Room was basic but clean. Breakfast was included and good. Location was good, as we flew in late and didn't want to drive in the dark. We took a swim in the pool which was clean. Less than a five minute drive to restaurants.

"DH had sampled a sweet potato and chorizo soup that he thought interesting. That soup inspired him to create the Yam and Clam Bisque which marries the sweetness of yam, with the brininess of clam, and the smokiness of bacon."
Yam and Clam Bisque
1 recipe photo
READY IN:35mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 slice smoked bacon (your favorite will do)
- 3⁄4 cup onion, diced
- 1⁄4 cup celery, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup white wine
- 3 cups yams, peeled and cubed (red skinned sweet potatoes)
- 1 cup potato, peeled and cubed (about 1 small)
- 16 ounces clam juice
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce (optional)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
- 1 (10 ounce) can baby clams, drained
- In a three-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the bacon and cook until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove bacon from pot, drain and set aside.
- With about 1 tablespoon of drippings, add onion, celery, and pinch of salt and pepper to the pot and sauté over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté one minute longer.
- Add the wine and deglaze the pan, reduce liquid to half, about one minute.
- Add the yams and white potatoes and clam juice to the pot.
- Add salt and optional Tabasco.
- Bring pot to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are soft-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat.
- Puree soup in a food processor in two batches or use an immersion blender. Process until smooth. Soup should be quite thick at this point.
- Add the half and half and clams. If soup is still too thick, add additional half and half or milk until it is your desired consistency.
- Reheat soup but do not boil.
- Correct seasoning. Additional salt may be required. A pinch of sugar may be necessary depending on the sweetness of your yams.
- Garnish with crumbled reserved bacon.

LiveStation: a Review of the live streaming news online source
LiveStation.com is a London based portal that offers live news on their website. Most of the available newstations seem to cover an International perspective and seem to be mostly in either English or Arabic. Persian, Burmese, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Urdu seem to have at least one station as of this writing. There are also a few new radio stations as well as the tv network stations.
A few of the news stations also have some "on demand" news clips that can be played whenever you want to hear them.
If you search the Internet for reviews about LiveStation most of what you will find is out of date information from around 2007 to 2009, and most of these reviews mostly concern a software program that you could download to watch tv online with.
Now, in the year 2012, LiveStation seems to offer almost exclusively livestream news stations straight from their website, with no need to download anything. Or it can be viewed with mobile devices if you download their free app.
Since I could find little to no recent reviews on the site, I thought I'd share some of what I think about Livestation.com as a result of my brief, one day, interaction with the site.
What I Like About LiveStation
It seems to be a good way to get International news from many other countries (such as France, Russia...even Iran) often English and other languages. Which can give you a different perspective and reports you may not see elsewhere. You are much more likely to hear in more detail what is going on with the Euro, for example, than you would if listening to news from a network that mostly focuses on the U.S.
You do not have to rely on paying for a cable or satellite dish package to get your news from sources like CNN, MSNBC or Fox News. So it can save you some money there if you have chosen to forgo having cable or satellite, but still want a source for televised news.
The programing I watched on a handful of these stations seemed good and interesting, on par or almost on par with what I am used to watching on U.S. cable or satellite networks.
It gives you the ability to see breaking events immediately, if you are not near a tv and only have your computer or mobile device. For example, the Japanese tsunami is one of the moments in history that resulted in increased viewers for LiveStation.com.
It looks like they have added some additional stations recently, so it looks like it is growing and having more options available for viewers.
I watched LiveStation from my laptop. But it is also available to watch using many mobile devices as it has apps for iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, and Blackberry. And also available on devices such as Roku and Boxee and Google TV.
What I Do Not Care For
There seems to be no way to set your preferences, such as choosing a default language or languages. For example, perhaps you want it to show only English and Spanish news stations, or maybe English, Spanish and Russian. Instead every single time you click on the Channels link it shows all the shows available in all languages, and you have to once again choose a language from the drop down menu to filter out the others you do not want to see. You also can not choose more than one language. And, as mentioned, frustratingly you have to re-choose what language you want every single time...it does not remember what you had chosen just a few minutes earlier.
It does not tell you what the news station is about until after you click on it. For example, you see amongst the thumbnails a green box that says RT. Only by clicking and scrolling past the video that is loading will you find a description that lets you know that this is a Russian based television station called Russia Today (it broadcast in English, Arabic and Spanish...but not Russian). And another one says PressTV and only by opening that page will you find out that this is an Iranian news station in English. It would be nice if they gave a brief description of the stations when you hover the mouse over the thumbnails, like how they do at Hulu.com.
Some of the channels are premium channels...but you won't know that until after you start watching them and after awhile notice that a countdown saying you only have a couple minutes left to watch before you will need to sign up for the paid version to continue watching. BBC Worldwide is one of these premium stations.
You cannot bookmark or "favorite" your favorite stations once you've found them to make viewing them easier (you could just bookmark them in your browser I suppose).
Since there is no ability to set preferences such as language or bookmark favorite stations I am not sure what the point is of signing up for an account with them is unless you choose to pay for the premium stations.
Not knowing when some stations will be broadcasting. For example, they seem to have recently added the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) as one of their stations to watch. But I have no idea when I can watch it. The site only says, "WSJ Live broadcast over 4.5 hours of live programming a day with the latest in news, elections, markets, tech, opinion, lifestyle." While I have no problem with there only being 4.5 hours in which it is broadcast...I find it frustrating that nowhere does it list at what time those 4.5 hours are being broadcast. I guess you just have to check every hour for 24 hours and figure it out yourself?
(WSJ does have a few On Demand news clips that you can watch on LiveStation.)
The video quality of some stations are not wonderful, but that does not bother me much. Choosing the paid version of that station will give you better quality and have no advertising.
The Verdict?
Although my list of dislikes were long, none of the things are strong reasons to not use the LiveStaion to get your news. But considering the day and age we live in, with other sites like Hulu.com (that does not offer news though) that do offer what now seem like basic options of setting preferences and favorites, not having these options seems tedious when it seems like it would be fairly simple for LiveStation to upgrade their website, especially since their selection is growing.
Overall I recommend checking it out.

Considering his history, it was gutsy of ESPN to give Dr. Hunter S. Thompson a semi-regular online column back in 2000, and it's been even gutsier for them to keep it. One can't imagine all NASCAR dads or Dallas Cowboys fans pleased to find sports essays that cite our sitting president as a "greed-crazed yo-yo who slit the throat of the U.S. economy in the name of Tax Cuts (and feverish warmongering gone wrong)." But that's what they read, along with point spreads and Super Bowl predictions. Sports, along with the guns, swearing and Wild Turkey, are the good doctor's catalyst. But he always sees the larger picture.
Thompson's world view has often been that of sportswriter, whether on a repeated junket to the Honolulu Marathon or in a battle with screaming bats en route to the Mint 500, the desert race that spawned Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. As if to prove the point, Hey Rube, the new collection of his ESPN columns, reproduces an Aug. 23, 1957, directive from a colonel at Elgin Air Force Base in Florida, citing the gonzo airman for "outstanding sports writing" but forbidding him to report again because of his "rebel and superior attitude" and his "critical editorializing" on subjects not related to sports.
The book, carrying the same main name as his ESPN Page 2 column, also does some critical editorializing as it follows three-and-a-half seasons of NFL odds and various other gaming. The larger picture is the deteriorating political situation since 2000, "this blizzard of shame" as Thompson calls it, and the events of his own life. Even as he compares America's collapse to Rome's, he doesn't think football is a circus. But he doesn't believe it's war either, and he accuses Bush of "constantly jabbering about how his jackass war on the nation of Islam is joined at the hip with the nature of football."
"I have tried them both for long periods of time," Thompson writes in a 2003 essay, "and I frankly see no basic similarity at all, beyond the powerful desire to hurt people." Instead, he says, football is more like politics, with a smell that's "Dank & Nasty" and an increasingly shrinking talent pool.
There's no pre-Sept. 11 innocence in the essays dated before that tragic day. The same sense of paranoia and anger that's always made Thompson hilarious reading is well-evident. In an essay written shortly after the 2000 election, he laments, "It's the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it" and urges us to "Get familiar with Cannibalism." In a column dated Dec. 4, 2000, the perpetually doom-struck Thompson predicts "crazed Muslim terrorists might put Nerve Gas or Anthrax in your drinking water." You have to wonder: What did the doctor know, and when did he know it?
The columns immediately following Sept. 11 are filled with bloody rubble, uncovered point spreads and pigskinning. He fears the terrorists are seizing control of the NFL. While the focus is on the new commander in chief, Al Gore is not spared. Thompson condemns him as "the Hapless, worm-eaten Dunce who fumbled the White House away to a gang of sleazy Oilmongers from Texas." He is nicer to Bill Clinton, suggesting the ex-president spent Super Bowl 2002 in Beverly Hills with a couple of whores from Oxnard.

The more to fear and loathe, the better Thompson's prose. Though he occasionally misses ("all war and no football make Jack a dull boy"), Hey Rube contains some of Thompson's most crazed writing in a decade. Readers familiar with the good doctor will find an even more intense sense of exaggeration despite the fact drugs hardly come into play, overlooking a drink or two, some jimson weed, the mention of cocaine and a strange home brew from Ethiopia.
To say Thompson is irreverent is like calling the Grand Canyon a ditch. He's not afraid to speak things that might get others brought up on charges: "Corruption is a Way of Life in Utah. . . . Mormons have been beating and cheating each other since the arrival of Brigham Young." At one point, he admits a soft spot for Ronald Reagan because Reagan was also once a sportswriter and his wife "gave the best head in Hollywood."
Near the end of this collection (the last column is dated Oct. 13, 2003), Thompson literally loses his spine—or part of it—to surgery and (horrors!) gets married. The two events seem to soften his perspective even as he urges us to slap down the current administration. His requiem for George Plimpton might well be considered touching. Has Thompson lost his edge? Don't bet on it. As he assures us regarding his gambling methods, "I know exactly what I'm doing."

With the final cutdown day looming, the Ravens have a few tough decisions to make as they make the final 22 roster moves. As such, the team's roster will undergo one final large change before the season begins.
The team's Salary Cap is also about to undergo a huge change.
Since March, all teams have had their Salary Cap calculated pursuant to the CBA-mandated Rule of 51. This rule is in place because offseason rosters can number up to 90 (and more with players on IR) and it would be impossible to include that many players unto the Cap. So, the Rule of 51 essentially dictates that only the players with the top 51 Salary Cap numbers count against the Salary Cap until the start of the season.
At present, pursuant to the Rule of 51, the Ravens have $12M in Salary Cap space.
However, that is about to drastically change. By this time next week, the full roster, not just the top 51, will begin counting against the team's Salary Cap. That means, not only the 53 players on the active roster, but also all players on IR and PUP will start counting against the Cap. Players on suspension will also count, but at a base salary that has been reduced to reflect the number of weeks the player is suspended. There will also be an additional $1.173M in Cap space needed for the 10 PS players.
Presently, the team has already placed 8 players on IR and 1 player on Reserve/PUP. The 2 players who are facing suspension will go on the suspended list once the season begins. That means that, even with no other additions, the Ravens will already have at least 74 players (53-man roster + 8 IR + 1 PUP + 2 SUS + 10 players on the Practice Squad) counting against the Cap as of kickoff on Sunday, September 11th.
And, that number very well may go up after Thursday's preseason game.
Below is a projection (just a guess, really) of what the roster could look like as of Saturday and includes placing Safety Matt Elam and Cornerback Maurice Canady on IR.
QB (2): Joe Flacco, Ryan Mallett
RB (5): Justin Forsett, Buck Allen, Terrence West, Kenneth Dixon, Kyle Juszczyk
WR (7): Steve Smith, Sr., Mike Wallace, Kamar Aiken, Chris Moore, Breshad Perriman, Michael Campanaro, Jeremy Butler
TE (3): Dennis Pitta, Crockett Gillmore, Maxx Williams
OL (8): Ronald Stanley, Marshal Yanda, Jeremy Zuttah, Ricky Wagner, John Urschel, Alex Lewis, Vlad Ducasse, Ryan Jensen
DL (7) Brandon Williams, Lawrence Guy, Timmy Jernigan, Brent Urban, Carl Davis, Karpon Lewis-Moore, Willie Henry
LB (8): Terrell Suggs, Elvis Dumervil, CJ Mosley, Zach Orr, Z'Darius Smith, Kamalei Correa, Albert McClellan, Matt Judon
CB (5): Jimmy Smith, Shareece Wright, Jerraud Powers, Will Davis, Tavon Young
S (5): Eric Weddle, Lardarius Webb, Kendrick Lewis, Anthony Levine, Terrence Brooks
ST (3): Justin Tucker, Sam Koch, Morgan Cox
PUP (1): Lorenzo Taliaferro
IR (10): Ben Watson, Kyle Arrington, Matt Elam, Maurice Canady, Bronson Kaufusi, Jumal Rolle, Kaelin Clay, Stephane Nembot, Cavellis Luckett, Sam Brown
Suspended (2): Nick Boyle, Darren Waller
Practice Squad (10): TBD
This projected roster includes 76 players, all of whom would be counting against the Salary Cap, and would reduce the team's Salary Cap space down to just a little under $5.3M. A breakdown of the Cap numbers that make up this projection can be found here (scroll down and hit the "2016 Projected" tab).
Now, this is just a projection, but except for the last 3-4 roster spots, the roster is pretty much set, so while the team's actual Cap may go up or down a bit based on other players making the roster, any chance won't be very substantial (barring an unexpected roster decision).
This is where fans have to be careful when discussing and projecting a team's Cap space. The change that happens when teams are forced to start accounting for their entire roster – especially when the IR list continues to grow – can very easily reduce a team's Salary Cap situation from "comfortable" to "dire" in no time.
That's not to say that the Ravens are in a dire position, but they most certainly won't have that same, comfortable Cap cushion here in a few days.
On the bright side, there are several things that can (or will) happen that will create some additional Cap space, but it certainly won't be major. First, with some of the players on IR, the team could work out injury settlements that would pay them less than the salaries they are presently set to make. Also, barring injuries, when TE Darren Waller returns after week 4, assuming he is activated to the 53-man roster, someone will need to be released and the balance of that player's salary will be removed from the Cap. Or, if it is Waller that is released, it will be the balance of his salary that will be removed. The same would apply to TE Nick Boyle after week 10. Lastly, any player on IR, who doesn't receive an Injury Settlement, can still be released later in the season, once he is healthy enough to pay a team physical.
So, the team should have enough Cap space to make it through the 2016 season, but one thing is clear now – the hope that the team would have a lot of excess 2016 Cap space to carry over into 2017 is pretty much gone.

When was the last time you had a steak at Outback Steakhouse? Did you like it? I'd wager it was average and wasn't award-winning by any stretch of the imagination. VIPS, is another steak and salad venue offering a buffet. If you aren't into getting a steak of marginal quality, you should check out Father's.
My wife and I decided to check them out on a late Saturday evening.
Their selection at that time was limited to just the tenderloin.
|The tall buildings in the upper left corner are of City Hall

Hands down the best steak in Daejeon can be found at W-Bistro located in the artsy district of daeheung dong. If the venture to "Old Downtown" is too far (When people say this, I always wonder how far is too far within the same city^^)
Fathers Steakhouse is a pleasant change from the chain steak restaurants and its located in Dunsan!

CD REVIEW! Various - Pump Up The 90s
With the market flooded with various 80s compilation CDs, this release is a fresh of breath air, or something like that. The 3 disc compilation, Pump Up The 90s, features tracks that haven't been featured on South African albums for years. It's a unique 90's compilation of 63 tracks of songs that were one hit wonders and others that has fans of pop and club music of the 1990s girating on the dancefloors. With Christmas around the corner, this will make a nifty gift and features artists like 2 Unlimited, Snap!, Basement Jaxx, Ace Of Bace, Dr. Alban, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, Moloko and The Prodigy. A good listening experience for those who were in their teens in the 1990s.

Engine Remapping
Refine Your Search
Engine Remapping Information
Engine Tuning involves the modification or adjustment of a car engine in order to primarily increase its power and performance. Tuning can range from anything from adjusting the carburettor and ignition system to installing a new ECU and completely overhauling the intake and exhaust system.
Modern Engines are equipped with an engine management control (ECU) sometimes referred to as the 'brain' of the car. With some cleaver adjustment, the right software and equipment, this can be tuned to different settings in order to gain the extra power that the engine already has. The engines potential is not realised by the manufacturers when they leave the plant as some vehicles may end up in developing countries where the fuel is of a poorer quality than here in the UK. So to compensate for this, the engine is tuned accordingly to run on this lower grade fuel.
Engine tuning / diagnostic specialists will be able to help your car realise its potential, cars can be tuned for increased performance, or, what is becoming more popular as fuel prices continue to rise is tuning cars for extra fuel efficiency. There are many different products available for the majority of cars on the road to help with engine tuning.
So if you are looking for better responsiveness from your car or greater fuel efficiency then a visit to your local engine tuning expert is the right move to make.

Supreme Court's ruling, making the playing of National Anthem compulsory before the start of a movie has become a topic of discussion across different film industries in India. Some agreed with the apex court's ruling, while others didn't.
Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal came in support of the order and asked 'What's wrong in standing up for the National Anthem?" National Anthem being played in cinemas must be considered a respect for cinema instead of making a controversy out of it.
He also reasoned how people obey laws when they go abroad but oppose them in their own countries. While this is Mohanlal's opinion, Pawan Kalyan recently expressed a different one questioning Supreme Court's decision for a simple evening to spend time with friends and family to watch a movie has been made into a 'Testing Ground' to prove one's patriotism.

Archive for the 'My home' Category
I returned from Australia mid-1970, somewhat foot-loose. I bought a single-cylinder BMW "thumper" to get around on, and did some odd jobs for friends to earn a few pennies. As summer approached, my brother Todd asked me to look after his studio in the Sierra foothills while he scoped out prospects for summer art sales in Alaska. I spent the summer months in Sutter Creek; where Melbourne had been dull, SC was utterly dead (at least for a young gay guy like me). I often drove all the way down to West Sacramento, where there was a sort of tubs I thought might provide some relief, but I don't recall ever actually finding a trick there.
To keep busy, I undertook some repairs on the facade of my brother's little shop. One day as I worked at this a tall, lanky blond youngster wandered along looking for work. I hired him to assist, but could not resist putting the make on him during lunch. Typically of my luck, he said he wasn't interested, and at the end of the day's work, I paid him off and he disappeared.
The very next morning I was seated at the little desk in the shop when a police car drove up and parked in front of the shop. A uniformed officer got out of the car and came into the shop:
"Are you Mr. Bramson?" he asked.
Of course my mind ran wild: that blond kid must have blabbed, and now I'm in deeeep do-do!
"That's me."
"Your friend Ronnie in San Francisco called and asked us to give you a message — he's forgotten your telephone number. He'd like you to give him a call." The officer departed, and I heaved a great sigh of relief! The blond must have just been "passing through" — I never saw him again.
Late that summer I rode my little thumper down to San Francisco intent on staying with friends and spending a few nights at the tubs. By chance, I drove by the old house my Ex and I had owned, and noticed it was for sale. Now, I had always loved that house: that it held some unpleasant memories was not it's fault, and I thought if I bought it by myself for myself, I could expunge the bad memories and have a nice hobby and a roof over my head as well.
However, I had very little money and no job, so buying a house seemed out of the question. The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized I wanted that house. I called the realtor, learned the price and terms and explained that I "had no money and no job, but I'll get back to you." I then called my old employer: did they have a job for me? "Can you start Tuesday?" was the response. Then I called my brothers, parents, and friends: before long I had commitments sufficient for a down-payment, so I called the realtor back. "I now have a job, I have some money, so I'm ready to make an offer."
The long and short of it is that after some negotiations, my offer was accepted, based on giving the owners 90 days to vacate.
Meanwhile, through friends, I happened to meet the fellow who had been my immediate predecessor in my Ex's life—and we found we had much in common. Learning that Johnnie had nearly driven Ted insane came as no surprise: he drove me nuts as well. So I moved into Ted's house temporarily, until "The Mansion" was cleared out and I could reside in it.
My Ex, you may recall, had made arrangements to sell the house without telling me, so it was imperative that he get a quit-claim for my portion of it. This he got at knife-point, and the rest is history. Since 1964 the house had been occupied by a religious cult that took guys off the drug trip and put them on the God trip. (Out of the frying pan into the fire as far as I'm concerned.) Nevertheless, I knew from a member of the Board of Directors that the building had not been severely trashed, although there were 53 people living in it. This is how I knew they would not be able to vacate in the usual 30 days. Since I was in no hurry, I applied myself to my job again, built up my bank account, and waited.
The house was still not vacant at 90 days, so I informed the occupants they would have to pay rent; they did so for two more months before, finally, in May of 1971, the deal closed and I took possession of the building in which I still reside. I'm still renovating it, though it is in much better shape now than I am!
With all the current flap about toxic mortgages, I find it interesting that I got the house with just over 10% down. But the interest rate on the first mortgage was 18.5%, and on the second mortgage 25%! For the first year I occupied the house, I watched my equity "build" at literally pennies per month!
My house has been a very important part of my life for almost 40 years. I have zillions of photos showing the many renovations that have taken place over the years. I'll try not to bore my readers with too many of these, focusing instead on other aspects of my life – my travels to distant places and so forth.
There were several projects over the years of considerable magnitude. The first was to replace the roof, which leaked badly. This occurred in 1975, when a second re-finance brought forth the necessary funds. The most expensive part of the job was removal of the old roof, consisting of 4 and in some spots 5 layers of "modern" material over the original wood shingles. To save money, I did the removal myself, aided by a gaggle of Ted's students. Ultimately, we removed and disposed of 9.5 tons of old roof! Among the interesting findings were burned portions of the spaced sheathing on the north slope of the roof: the 1906 fire burned itself out just half a block away, but clearly owners of my house had managed to put out "hot spots" and saved the Mansion from joining the thousands of others destroyed.
Another problem discovered was that the South stub-wall had shifted out of line rather noticeably, probably in the 1906 earthquake. I did not want to leave it so. When all the weight was off the roof, I used a 12-ton come-along to pull the wall back to plumb, assisted by jacks forcing the ridge-pole up. When all was aligned, two hefty membranes were added to lock the walls in place, and the rafters were further locked with tensioners that had not been installed previously.
Here's a series of photos, from start to finish, of the first roof replacement during my tenure (it has now been done again):
Once a little area was cleared, the spaced sheathing acted as a ladder, and I could work comfortably. I always used a harness to prevent falling, however!
All the detritus was forced through the spaces onto the attic floor.
We rigged a block & tackle to an old fire-escape, and the trash was sent down to ground-level one garbage-can at a time.
At ground level the trash was put into a wheel-barrow and taken to the front of the house.
The junk was stuffed into an old hulk of a VW camper. In a day I could clear, and the guys could load, one camper-full.
Plywood sheathing was pulled up from below one sheet at at time and stacked in the attic. From there it was maneuvered into position on the roof and nailed down.
With weight off the roof, I used a come-along to pull the south stub-wall into place, assisted by jacks pushing up on the ridgepole.
There were other things to attend to, like repointing a chimney.
The 3/8″ plywood gave a better base than the spaced sheathing for the new roof of composition glass, tar and stone
Here I'm adding a skylight, without which the attic is rather dark.
After all the preparation was done, the professionals moved in! Here is their A-frame used to haul up bundles of roofing material.
All the new material was hauled up and distributed to workers.
It was a long way down to the street!
Growl! Musta been a tough day up on da roof.
It was one of the filthiest jobs I ever did!
It took me six weeks to clear the old roof, install the new plywood, and do most of the flashing. It then took the professionals less than a week to install the new 25-year roof. It actually lasted far beyond its guarantee, and never leaked. Nevertheless, in 2008 this roof was removed down to the plywood, and a new 40-year roof was installed. This time I let others do the whole job!
Another big project will be described here soon.

Show Us Your Thanksgiving Disasters on MSTY!
When we think of Thanksgiving, most of us picture a perfect turkey dinner with steaming side dishes and beautiful desserts, all served on a perfectly set table in an impossibly clean home. In other words, a postcard. It doesn't always work out that way. Turkeys get overcooked, pumpkin pies don't set up, mashed potatoes turn to glue ... there are about a billion things that could go wrong when preparing a Thanksgiving meal, and usually at least one or two of them will. Rather than get upset about kitchen mishaps, let's have some fun with them.

British Columbia Dedicates New WMA
Members of the Squamish Nation, local politicians and other guests joined Environment Minister Barry Penner to officially dedicate the Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area (WMA).
Penner formally recognized those who were instrumental in establishing the wildlife and cultural area. The event included a presentation of traditional song and dance and the unveiling of a traditional pole carving by eminent Squamish nation artist Aaron Nelson. The house pole will be erected later in the estuary in honour of the significance of the Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary WMA.
"It took a lot of effort and goodwill, but it was worth it," said Penner. "I'm optimistic the dedication of this special area today will herald a fruit ful era of co-operation between the various parties: the provincial government, the Squarmish First Nation, the District of Squamish and all the other stake holders. The Squamish Estuary Management Plan will undoubtedly serve as an example of what can be accomplished when people of goodwill get together for a common purpose."
The Squamish estuary is representative of one of the most rare and biologically productive ecosystem types on the B.C. coast. Wildlife species include shorebirds, swans, ducks, raptors, songbirds, various small mammals, deer, coyote and black bear. The Squamish River system supports chum, chinook, coho and pink salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden char. The area is widely used for commercial, sport, and Aboriginal food fisheries, wildlife viewing, hunting, boating, windsurfing, and hiking.
"Since time immemorial, the Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary has been a village site and a place of gathering for the Squamish people," said Chief Gibby Jacob. "The great spiritual and our ancestors and elders to the generations of today and it is wonderful to see everyone working together as a community to hold sacred the wonder and beauty of this very special place."
The proposal to designate the squamish Estuary WMA emerged from almost 20 years of planning under the Squamish Estuary Management Plan (SEMP). The SEMP was co-ordinated by a multi-agency committee that included representative from federal, provincial and local governments and BC Rail. The planning process included consultation with First Nations, stakeholders and the public.
The SEMP identified key areas for industrial development, conservation, or further assessment. One of the primary recommendations was to designate a portion of the Squamish estuary as a WMA under the Wildlife Act.
Since 2005, the government of B.C> has been building a new relationship with First Nations based on respect, recognition and reconciliation. Through treaties and other agreements with First Nations, the government is committed to closing the socio-economic gap that separates Aboriginal people from the British Columbians.

New report highlights CPS work to tackle child sexual exploitation
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is successfully prosecuting more child abuse cases and making charging decisions more quickly, says a Government report published today (Thurs 16 Feb).
The Tackling Child Exploitation Progress Report highlights a number of significant achievements by the CPS and recognises the organisation's central role in bringing offenders to justice and improving support for victims and survivors.
The first Tackling Child Exploitation report, published in March 2015, set out an ambitious programme of work to enhance the protection of vulnerable children.
Today's report recognises the contribution of the CPS as a key agency and shows that a number of important targets set out in the original report have been met.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, said: "I am pleased that this report recognises the important work being done by the Crown Prosecution Service in bringing perpetrators of child sexual exploitation to justice and supporting witnesses and survivors in these highly sensitive cases.
"We will continue to work with other parts of the criminal justice system to ensure we further enhance our handling of child sexual exploitation cases."
The CPS has recruited around 100 new staff, doubling the teams specially trained to deal with rape and serious sexual offences (RASSO). These specialists are dealing with a growing number of cases. Last year there was a 19% increase in the number of offenders convicted of a child sexual abuse-related offence.
Despite this growing workload, cases are being processed faster. The number of cases where a charging decision took longer than 28 days reduced by 70% in just 11 months.
All staff working on rape and serious sexual offence cases have received additional training to ensure they are familiar with priorities and best practice when dealing with child sexual exploitation cases.
A number of projects have sought to speed up the process of prosecuting serious sexual offences. Pilot schemes in Norfolk, South Yorkshire and Nottingham have allowed police to seek advice from prosecution lawyers in the earliest stages of their investigations. The outcome of this pioneering work is now being evaluated to assess whether it should be rolled out elsewhere.
The CPS has also been working with other parts of the criminal justice system to streamline the prosecution of offenders charged with possessing indecent images of children. A new database of child abuse images has speeded up the way evidence is processed. This means cases can be dealt with more swiftly and the workload for investigators has been reduced.
The CPS will continue to be at the centre of work to tackle child sexual exploitation and is part of the management structure of the new Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse. The centre, which has been launched by the Government with £7.5m of funding, will lead the way in ground-breaking research and the shaping of best practice.

Words with a perspective: German compound words
A few years ago, it was reported that German had 'lost' its longest word – the 63-letter monstrosity Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungs- aufgabenübertragungsgesetz. The cause of this 'loss' was a law change in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: in 2013, the 'beef labelling supervision duties delegation law', as is the term's literal English translation, was officially repealed, thus rendering its name […]more

Capitol Reef Nat'l Park
Tropic Travel Blog› entry 10 of 20 › view all entries
After filling up our tank at Hollow Mountain, we hooked up with Utah Hiway 24 towards Torrey, where we would pick up Hiway 12. The landscape around us was barren and ugly. The sun was high overhead. If it hadn't been for the wind on our faces and backs, the heat would have been unbearable.
There was a riverbank next to the road with just a trickle of water in places. In other spots, the water was deeper and more plentiful. This was the Fremont River, although it didn't really resemble a river; it was more like a creek. We had learned from our travel in the West, that a river in Utah or Arizona isn't the same as a river in Alabama or Tennessee.
We followed Highway 24 as it twisted deeper into the desert, convinced that we had to be the only people traveling on this road to nowhere. There were cottonwoods and willows on the riverbank beside the road. This was a dramatic contrast to the overhanging 1,000-foot pink sandstone cliffs that were molded by erosion into domes, buttes, pillows, and knobs. Interesting. It was the hottest part of the day and the bright sun bleached all of the color from the walls. If we had been traveling late in the evening, it might have been a different story. As it was, we weren't interested in stopping for pictures.
Around one of the bends in the road, there was a well-built brick building on our left. The brick sign by the road read, Visitor Center. Okay, visitor center to what?? We didn't stop. After several more miles, we came upon a Comfort Inn AND another chain motel, maybe a Hampton or a Holiday Inn Express. Were we ever surprised. Who in their right mind would come HERE for a vacation?
We didn't know we were right smack dab in the middle of the most remote National Park in the entire country: Capitol Reef National Park. Brother. You mean to tell me that people actually visit this part of Utah?? We had been riding inside the Park for miles and didn't even realize it.
The northern section of the Waterpocket Fold, a massive warp in the earth's crust, is in Capitol Reef. This movement along an ancient buried fault pushed rocks 7,000 feet higher on the west than on the east. The violent seismic episode occured between 50 and 70 million years ago. Today the enormous buckled landform stands as a testament to the earth's past. It is called "waterpocket" because of the pockets in the rocks that fill with life-giving water during rainstorms.
The town of Fruita once supplied settlers all over south-central Utah with a wide variety of fruit from their orchards. These historic orchards have survived the years of floods and droughts and contain roughly 3,000 fruit trees, the most extensive in the National Park System. One of these "settlers" that came to Fruita to buy fruit was Robert Parker, alias Butch Cassidy. He traveled here frequently from his hideout at Robbers Roost, east of the Park. Proof that he was in the area is carved on a canyon wall. His signature along with many other early explorers and miners can be seen today at Pioneer Register, a narrow side canyon that served as the main road through the Fold in the days before Hiway 24.
Capitol Reef has much, much more but we didn't stop. Actually, we only learned of this fascinating place days later when I was flippping through a book, National Parks of Utah. I told Jerry that it would be a good trip for the cooler months; summer temperatures are unmerciful. Maybe sometime before we have to stop our travels, we will be able to come back for a visit. Next time we will slow down and enjoy!

Dear Sunnybrook,
I am glad that my teenage son's friends like to hang out at our house, but every weekend they eat so much food!
I don't want to send them away, but between snacks, soda and takeout, it is getting very expensive to entertain these young guests.
How can we support their gatherings and still have money for our family groceries?
Hungry Like a Teen
Endicott, NY
Dear Hungry Like a Teen,
That's so great that you are being supportive of your son and his friends! Yes, teenage boys sure eat a lot — especially junk food! Here are some tips I have thought of, and I'm sure you'll get more great ideas from my readers. Thanks for sending in your question!
- Have a designated cupboard where the teens know they are allowed to get snacks. Keep it stocked with inexpensive items from discount grocery stores or bulk warehouse deals. Do the same with beverages. Have the ones they may drink in a set place. They can survive on off-name brands or water. Something like a SodaStream or flavor drops for water might be fun for them as well.
- To keep open snacks from going stale, or to discourage the teens from noshing full boxes of an item, use containers to separate the snack into portion sizes. This is less expensive than buying snacks in individual sized portions. Reusable plastic containers will save on buying bags.
- For less expensive meals, have pizza dough, cheese and sauce available with instructions for making their own pizza. They can also make the entire pizza recipe from scratch! Other easy meals they can put together are tacos, nachos, spaghetti, and breakfast foods such as pancakes or omelets. Just keep things like taco shells, rice, refried beans and taco sauce on hand and let the guys do the work. If they are hungry and know what they can help themselves to eat or make, they will be resourceful.
Remember, while you want to be accommodating to some degree, it's ok to set boundaries! If they are hungry enough, they can have one of the things you make available to them. There is no need for a hungry teen to eat the meal you are saving for your family or drink all your beverages. They should also be respectful of your home and clean up any mess they make.

Since rooting my phone I have enjoyed other apps that only work with root access.

Your New Delicious, Go-To Summer Salad
This is a salad that improves with age, so I often make a big batch of it over the weekend and snack on it throughout the week. A friend turned me on to the recipe, from My New Roots. The dressing's combination of spices, vinegar, maple syrup and mustard have an addictive je ne sais quoi. I like to use green lentils or wheatberries for the base, though wild rice, kamut, farro or chickpeas would be lovely, too. And I almost always add some diced apple and a good bit of parsley. I think the next time I make the dressing, I'll toss it with some cauliflower, toasted nuts, apples, and herbs. —Heather Sperling, 30, editor of Tasting Table and co-founder of food and design festival Fête, Chicago, IL
Step 1: Cook lentils.
Follow package directions, but the basics are: Cover with three inches of cold water, bring to boil, reduce to simmer, and cook 15-20 minutes or until just al dente.
Step 2: Combine dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid.
The dressing has a lot of ingredients but it's worth it.
The dressing ingredients are:
SPICES: ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and cayenne pepper, salt, pepper
LIQUIDS: extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, strong mustard
Step 3: Cover the jar and shake it hard.
You can also whirl it in a blender, but you gotta give it a good shake somehow to emulsify it.
Step 4: Toss lentils with dressing.
Step 5: Add chopped onion, capers, and currants. Store in fridge until you're hungry.
When it's time to eat, add your favorite greens, fruit, nuts, herbs, and cheese.
Some ideas:
FRUIT: chopped apple or pear, mandarin orange slices, halved grapes, mango
NUTS: toasted almonds or walnuts, peanuts
CHEESE: feta, shaved parmesan, goat cheese, queso blanco
GREENS: parsley, parsley, parsley. arugula, radicchio, cilantro, etc.
