Bride-to-be Sarika Gupta tried to hold still as she talked. She sat on a wraparound couch downstairs in her parents' O'Fallon home while she, her sisters and cousins had traditional henna designs painted.
It was two days before her wedding to Jalpan Ringwala.
"I am joining a new family. I have to be decorated," said Sarika, in Indian dress, loose pants (salwar) and top (kameez). "I will have my feet up to my midcalf painted, also higher up on my arm to mid-elbow."
"It's marriage symbol, too," said Aunt Shelly Mittal, applying a lemon-sugar mix to bring out the red henna and keep the design from shaking off. "It's supposed to bring good luck."
The groom will have the bride's name hidden in his design, explained Alka Aggarwal, Sarika's older sister. "She'll have his name hidden in hers. Whoever finds the name first wins the game. The groom will have a smaller design."
Henna artists Suman Chandel and Kiron Kaur, of St. Louis, worked quickly, squeezing a pointed tube.
"You keep on learning every time you do it," said Suman, who has been a henna artist 28 years. "We used to do it with a toothpick."
Meet the bride
Her family: Parents Salil and Vandana Gupta, two sisters, Alka Aggarwal, of Swansea, Nipun Gupta, of Springfield, and a brother, Sorabh Gupta, of O'Fallon
About the bride: Sarika, a 2005 graduate of O'Fallon Township High School, is working on her Ph.D. in public policy at Harvard University in Boston.
About the groom: Jalpan Ringwala, 25, is starting his final year of med school at St. Louis University. "Since I am going to be in Boston four or five years, we are hoping he can match in the Boston area (for his residency)," she said.
Where their families are from: The Guptas hail from Delhi, India. Naimesh and Mala Ringwala are from Ahmedabad.
How did you meet? "We both went to the same college -- SLU -- for our undergraduate degree," said Sarika. "He was born in India and grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin."
What she likes about him: "He's incredibly caring, very honest and down to earth. We were both interested in finding someone of the same cultural and religious background."
Something they have in common: They are both vegetarians.
How long have you been planning the wedding? "About a year."
How did he propose? "I was working in India for a period of time. I came home for the Christmas holiday. He coordinated with family and friends. He's usually in St. Louis (for school). He told me he was already in Wisconsin. I came home, thinking he wasn't going to be here. My family said they were going to a (cousin's) voice recital at the school auditorium. We hurried to our seats."
They had a raffle surprise at the beginning and Sarika went up to get her prize. As she did, a slide show started with photos of her and Jalpan. "When we became best friends in college. Once it ended, the lights came on and he proposed." And she looked out on the audience filled with friends and family. It's on our wedding website."
"We pulled it off," said older sister Alka.
Wedding plans: "We wanted to have it in the St. Louis area. We looked at a lot of hotels in St. Louis. When we found out about the new hotel in O'Fallon, we were excited we could have a hometown wedding with Indian traditions."
Where did you get your beautiful clothes?
"We did a big family trip to India. For our different events, we need four or five outfits. We went to two different cities. It was crazy. We had three weeks. We shopped from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. They were kicking us out at the end when they were closing."
How many days of wedding events? "We started (with prayers) on Tuesday night." Thursday evening, 40 members of groom Jalpan's family, came from Oshkosh for dinner. Friday night was a big dance music night at the Hilton. Saturday was the wedding day. The ceremony and lunch in O'Fallon was followed by a reception at the Millennium in downtown St. Louis. Sunday, they traveled to her new husband's home in Oshkosh for more prayers and celebrating.
What was a challenge? "Coordinating everything. You are planning three or four big events with 300-plus people. Everything has to be Indian. The flowers, the D.J., the cakes. You have to find someone who can do Indian makeup, decorations, food."
What was the most fun? "We do a lot of dances. Working on dances. It's kind of a stress reliever when you can do it together."
Where is your honeymoon? "We are going to the Dominican Republic for six days."
What will you wear for the wedding? "It's like a blouse and a skirt draped with this kind of (sash) with gems and stones. Mine is gold and red and green. Tradtional colors. Most Indian brides wear red."
Music? "Most of these songs come from Indian movies, We watch them all the time. Before we could understand them, we were watching them. At our reception, we will play 85 percent Indian movie music. That's what we like to dance to. There will be bery few from American pop culture."
Best advice: "Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy my wedding day. Don't get caught up in details. We have done all the planning. Let it unfold the way it is going to unfold."
What do you like to do when you're not planning a wedding? "We like traveling, going to restaurants and going to movies."

Fishers (members of the weasel family, related to minks and otters) were reintroduced to Olympic National Park in 2008-10. They are native to the forests of Washington, including the Olympic Peninsula, but disappeared due to overtrapping in the late 1800s/early 1900s and habitat loss.

This week Howard Wilkinson talks about the low number of early voters for the upcoming November 5th election and What bypassing the legislature on Medicaid expansion will mean to Governor Kasich.
Yes, Cincinnati has a costly and contentious mayor's race going on.
Yes, there is a mob of 21 candidates scrambling to win one of nine seats on city council. And, yes, there are plenty of controversial issues, from the streetcar to the parking lease to the city's woeful pension system, for the candidates to argue about.
And yet, the truth is, there are clear indications that Nov. 5 will see the lowest turnout election in Cincinnati in many a decade. Maybe ever.
And what is the particular tea leaf we can read that would lead us to this conclusion?
Cincinnati's Union Terminal is in need of major repairs but Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann says the Museum Center is going to have to find a way to lower the price tag.
Hartmann says the current $180 million estimate is too high.
A community design workshop will be held on Saturday to discuss ideas for the Wasson Way project. concerning the project. The session will be held at Clark Montessori School at 3030 Erie Avenue from 8:30 am to 12:45 pm.
Previous story from October 1st:
Cincinnati is continuing negotiations with Norfolk Southern to acquire a currently unused section of railroad track running from Victory Parkway to Redbank Road.
The city wants to develop the nearly five-mile section of Wasson Way into a bike and hike trail.
Kentucky transportation officials say last weekend's rain delayed some of the resurfacing on Southbound 471. But crews have been working around the clock to keep things on schedule to be completed by the first week of November.
Once again this weekend you likely will want to find an alternate route and avoid South 471.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
It could have been Mother Goose, or "Goodnight Moon" or "Pat the Bunny." Whatever it was, the first book that your parent read to you was the beginning of a lifelong adventure in reading. It opened doors to imagination and learning that forever shaped your world.
On Saturday, Anderson University explores and celebrates the rich world of children's books with the Fifth Annual Elizabeth York Children's Literature Festival.
The free event features several children's authors and a member of the committee that confers that prestigious Caldecott Medal to denote the best illustrated children's book each year. The festival runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the York Performance Hall at Anderson University. The event is directed to an adult audience, shedding light on subjects like writing and illustration and imagination.
Two-time Caldecott author and illustrator Chris Raschka will speak, along with Indianapolis poet and author Rebecca Kai Dotlich, and Indianapolis author and illustrator Nathan Clement. Dennis LeLoup is a member of the 2014 Caldecott Medal Committee.
"Each brings a unique look at children's literature," said Janet Brewer, director of the Nicholson Library at AU.
Brewer noted that the Caldecott Medal is the top children's literature award, and speaker Chris Raschka has earned it twice. In 2006, Raschka's "Hello, Goodbye Window," received the medal, and in 2012, "A Ball for Daisy" claimed the award.
"To win it twice is wow," said Brewer. "That's a big thing in the world of children's literature."
Rebecca Kai Dotlich returns to the AU campus to participate in the festival for a second time. Dotlich's writing craft employs poetry for children. The author has published a number of children's books. Her most recent works include "Bella and Bean," "Castles" and a juvenile non-fiction work, "What is Science?"
Nathan Clement has written and illustrated three picture books, "Drive," "Job Site" and "Speed."
"I'll talk about my process, going from an idea to writing the story … thumbnailing and storyboarding as I go," said Clement. He then scans his sketches in to develop the digital artwork in his books. Clement plans to demo the process for Saturday's attendees. Clement worked as a graphic artist before jumping into children's literature head first 12 years ago. He's now under contract for his fourth book.
Dennis LeLoup is an Indianapolis-area school media specialist who will be part of the selection of the 2014 Caldecott winner. LeLoup will explore what's involved in determining the best in the world of children's illustrated books.
The Elizabeth York Children's Festival was launched in 2009 in conjunction with the gift of Elizabeth York's collection of children's literature to the university. York and her husband, James, donated over 6,000 works of children's literature, among them many first editions or signed copies.
Brewer couldn't pick a single favorite with so many from which to choose.
"I like "Where the Wild Things Are," but I also like something as simple as "Goodnight, Moon,"" said Brewer. "I can't say just one."
Book signings and festival T-shirts will be available during the festival. Lunch runs from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., and those with reservations can dine at the festival for $10.

Beyoncé Rehearses for Super Bowl Halftime Show: Day 2 [Video]
Yes, we know what you're thinking. Yet another Beyoncé post. As she counts down to Sunday's Super Bowl performance, Bey keeps teasing us with footage from her halftime rehearsals.
In the video for Day 2, she and her dancers practice some fierce choreography as her all-female band performs her 4 album cut "End of Time," one of the songs likely to be included in her 12-minute set.
Her backup singers also get some camera time, harmonizing to the song, which earns them approval from the boss. Get in Bey's zone.

A serviceable social engagement platform should have several parts including ways to capture social data, ways to analyze it, and ways to put the resulting information to use. In addition, a social engagement platform has to be comprehensive by which we mean it should be applicable across a wide swath of the front office form marketing through sales and into customer service. In other words it should cover the customer lifecycle. At this stage of the market's evolution with CRM adopting social and with new social companies emerging into the CRM space, integration is also a critical component. That's a tall order for an emerging company but that's where the bar is set.
Next Principles is a well-conceived social engagement and analytics platform aimed squarely at the market sweet spot of enterprises in need to a soup to nuts solution. Given the requirements, setting their sights on the top of the heap is a smart approach to ensuring they get the revenues they need for the buildout. Or as Willie Sutton once said when a reporter asked why he robbed banks, "Because that's where the money is."
This emerging company did well in CRM Idol last year, not winning but making a good showing and this year they are back with a more complete product and a more detailed roadmap.
The company is still embryonic. It has fewer than ten people and it is completing its series A funding campaign having gotten this far on angel financing and some revenues from the aforementioned enterprise world. Added funding will make it possible to expand sales and marketing so that the company can be competitive in a larger market of enterprise companies. So far, Next Principles has been able to snag some impressive customers but for contractual reasons they and we are not able to name names. Suffice it to say you know these companies' identities and that's good.
If the company is still embryonic so is the market, which is good, and some of the data the company offers is on point. They quote analyst studies among enterprises suggesting that 38% can't measure benefits and 34% say they have insufficient resources for social engagement. This is a classic early market profile and the company is aiming directly at those pain points.
So Next Principles aims to make integration with CRM systems easy by including built-in integration in the product and they've done everything they can to streamline implementation and use, even to the point of hiding much of the complexity of the analytics. Also, Next Principles say they aim at the whole customer journey rather than simply at marketing or sales.
Next Principles has also made great strides in developing integrations with some of the best known CRM systems including Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Salesforce.com and SugarCRM. The company has also expanded to a larger universe of partners including Marketo and IBM.
Analyze, engage and integrate are all important parts of the company's approach but it would be good for them to spend some time discussing the community they collect data from since it is the raw material of any socialized process. They are a defacto community tool so why they haven't formally embraced community is one of the very few flags we see.
Several community strategies are available to the company and they actually could support all three, 1) take anyone who knocks on your door, 2) actively recruit a limited number of members and change them after 90 or 120 days, 3) assume all customers are or will become community members. The issue with options one and three is consistency of the base. While it might be nice to be able to offer an open community as in 3, often many members lose interest over time leading to poor response or engagement rates.
Some might say low rates are to be avoided, but especially in business, it may be impractical. So the company has some thinking to do about how it evolves. Is it a tool for sifting the entire customer base or is it more research oriented in which case it needs to sample data from a representative cross section of customers a la Gallup or Nielsen. Each option has merit and picking one would help Next Principles refine its mission.
Next Principles has come a long way and built a good product. Perhaps their next objective, along with raising some cash, is to think about how to position a Next Principles community methodology.

Sir Chris Bonington's Olympic torch to be auctioned for charity (From The Westmorland Gazette)

Sir Chris Bonington's Olympic torch to be auctioned for charity
1:25pm Saturday 10th November 2012 in News By Steven Bell, Senior Reporter
THE torch which Lakeland mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington used to carry the Olympic Flame to the summit of Snowdon is to go under the hammer.
Proceeds from the sale will go to the charity Community Action Nepal, which supports projects in health, education and industry for the country's mountain people.
Sir Chris carried the torch to the top of Wales' highest mountain on May 29 - the 59th anniversary of the first ascent of Everest by Hillary and Tenzing - as Olympic fever gripped the nation.
He said: "In truth, for this summit attempt, the torch travelled on the train up Snowdon and I carried it up the final bit, but it was a truly marvellous experience and I found the whole thing very emotional – which came upon me as a bit of a surprise.
"I still feel immensely proud to have played a modest part in this year's tremendous Olympics."
And he wants the experience to have a positive legacy, by offering the torch to the charity to auction.
It was set up by fellow mountaineer Doug Scott - the first man to climb Everest's south west face.
Mr Scott explained: "The aim of Community Action Nepal is to help the mountain communities remain sustainable, viable and to help stop the human drift into Kathmandu.
"The reality is that, with just a bit of support, the hill communities can provide a decent way of life, while the supposed attractions of Kathmandu invariably end in exploitation, despair and often tragedy for the hill people."
Sir Chris, who hopes the auction will raise more than £10,000, added: "Doug and I now go back a very long way and we've had some incredible adventures together in the mountains, but I can honestly say that all of this pales into insignificance when compared with what Doug has achieved through Community Action Nepal.
"I really can't think of a better use for my Olympic torch than to raise funds for this outstanding charity.
"We often hear talk of an 'Olympic legacy' - this will be a very useful legacy for some of the world's poorest people"
The torch is being auctioned through open online bids at www.canepal.org.uk
A final amount will be revealed at a mountaineering lecture and fundraising event at the Royal Geographical Society on Wednesday (November 14).

In honor of the 20 year anniversay of hypertext markup language (HTML–the computer language that made the graphical web what it is today) I thought it would be an interesting project to see how company career sites have progressed over the years.
Thanks to the Wayback Machine anyone can see archived versions of websites. One in particular that I checked out is IBM's. Back in 1996 it's interesting to see that IBM had a very plain site overall and only an employment link on their home page leading you to rudimentary job information. In 2000 there's a dedicated, branded page for careers listing a series of questions (answered when clicking on the link) that reflect different aspects of their employer brand. Those links just brought you to an inner text heavy page that expanded on the question–but not by much.
In 2001 it was more of the same, albeit with different imagery. They listed reasons to work at IBM and again, clicking on the statements took you to an inner text page with a little more info.
2002 saw different graphics but much the same content displayed in a different way which pretty much stayed the same up to 2008 when their site took a major step forward. Now they had flash images, a careers newsletter, and more in-depth content about the company. There's even a mention of social networking, however, it was talk of how it was used in the workplace, not necessarily as a recruitment platform.
The use of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to connect to candidates was implemented on their site in 2010 along with a video, which was inconscpicous at the bottom of the page. But, content became more personal.
Today their career site has a cleaner, more thought-out layout, tabs at the top of the page leading to "Life at IBM," "Diversity" pages and a separate section on "University Recruiting," along with downloadable pdfs, and a ton of other content. And that video? Still there but in a more prominent place.
So, what's the takeaway? Your career site needs to take advantage of the leaps in technology and become a multi-media resource for applicants, not just a listing of jobs and benefits. This is where you have the most control over how your company is presented to new applicants. Make sure you take advantage of video, social media, links to career development information, job feeds, interactivity, retargeting candidates who have visited your site but left, on and on. And, also pay particular attention to the candidate experience. View your career site from the perspective of the applicant. Doing less defeats the purpose of your most widely viewed recruiting tactic.

For the Times West Virginian
Sometimes, perhaps even to say many times would not be an exaggeration, what you see in football isn't really what you think you see.
We all know, of course, about the trickery that goes on in the backfield where the quarterback becomes a sleight-of-hand expert, slipping the football into the belly of a running back and pulling it out. We know, too, of punters who will line up in punt formation only as a ruse to take the ball around left end or right as defenders peel back to defend a punt that never comes.
But we are not talking about that today. Instead, we are talking about the way there is a certain inbreeding within the game that produces offenses or defenses that may not look the same on the surface but that possess many of the same characteristics to be considered of the genre, if not gender.
And that is exactly the case this weekend when West Virginia University travels to Norman, Okla., to play the Oklahoma Sooners in a game that may become a measuring stick of where each team belongs in this season's Big 12.
On the surface, people do not seem to compare what WVU's Dana Holgorsen does with what Oklahoma's Bob Stoops does offensively, yet they have plucked much of what's fruitful in their offenses from the same tree.
That, you see, is what makes what Holgorsen pulled off last year so startling a coaching move, as he moved Tavon Austin to running back for the first time in his collegiate career and rushed him for a school-record 344 yards.
It would have been a strategy move of historic proportions, maybe even matching Tom Osborne's long-ago "Fumblerooski" play if WVU had been able to come out on top in the 50-49 game, but the Mountaineers could not.
Most interesting out of it today, however, is that tape of the game is totally useless to both coaches, for so much has changed since a year ago, WVU going away from its Air Raid attack and Austin being gone and the Sooners looking far more like Barry Switzer's old wishbone triple-option than the wide-open passing game last year that allowed Landry Jones to throw for six scores against the Mountaineers.
The conversation about all this began Tuesday in Holgorsen's weekly press conference when it was brought up that Holgorsen's former offensive line coach, Bill Bedenbaugh, now serves in the same capacity at Oklahoma.
Did that not give Stoops and Co. the advantage of added insight into what Holgorsen likes to do?
Not at all, said Holgorsen.
"It goes way deeper than that. It goes back to Bob Stoops' first year, 2000, I believe, and Mike Leach was his offensive coordinator," Holgorsen said.
Leach, of course, is the inventor of Holgorsen's uptempo, spread offense and of the passing game that often produces 50 to 70 passes in an afternoon ... the one Geno Smith ran at WVU a year ago.
So it is that Stoops was into this more than a decade ago, and because of that he has Josh Huepel as his offensive coordinator, as well as his brother, Mike Stoops, on the defensive side, all involved in ways with Holgorsen and his offense.
"I've known Josh Huepel for a long time; I've known Mike Stoops," Holgorsen said. "We've competed against each other for 15 years, and we've been to clinics together. We've been hanging out together."
The result of that is that they didn't need Bedenbaugh for his input on that.
"They know our offense better than anybody else that's out there," Holgorsen said. "Adding Bill, I don't know what that will do for them because they already know the offense."
They know it so well that Holgorsen is almost paranoid.
"You have to be careful with your signals; you have to be careful with your tendencies; you have to be careful with your specific route combinations, and they are as good as anyone in the country defending it," he said.
Things, however, get really interesting now because neither coach has the ideal quarterback to be throwing the ball all over the lot, so they have had to change their approach, but not their philosophies.
"You see gradual changes," Holgorsen said. "You've seen gradual changes with our offense in the three years I've been here. I went from Texas Tech to Houston, Houston to Oklahoma State, Oklahoma State to West Virginia, and there were changes. Changes will happen.
"The base structure of the offenses are still similar. I think some of the formations are still called the same. You look at their offense last week against Louisiana-Monroe; there were a lot of sets that were the same. Some of the plays were the same. Some are altogether different, so while it's the same, it's different."
But Oklahoma is running the ball more with Trevor Knight at quarterback, just as WVU is running it more, the difference being that Knight may be Oklahoma's best runner while Millard is saved that wear tear.
"They're asking Knight to do some different things than we're asking Paul to do. He is more involved in the running game than Paul is. I don't think anyone is going to get a kick out of watching Paul Millard run the triple-option or speed-option or zone-read," Holgorsen said.
"There's obvious differences (between the quarterbacks), but easing them into it and not putting too much on the quarterback is obviously important."

A TN congressman reaches out to a blogger
I find this just plain smart. And you can see the results of it.
I have to give the man credit-he promised that if he was elected that he was not going to concentrate all of the influence in the District in the Tri-cities anymore. So far he has kept to that pledge in a very real way-his District Director, for example, lives in nearby Morristown. What's more, if you like a conservative voting record, he has already amassed one that would make the American Conservative Union drool. He has proven himself so far to be extremely devoted to this District, a fact which has not gone unnoticed.

McAuliffe v. Penn
by fugazi, Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 04:39:46 AM EDT
Last night, Hillary advisor Terry McAuliffe informed us that the winner of the popular vote should determine who wins the nomination. Apparently, we should disregard all the caucus states because ... well, just because.
Apparently, McAuliffe didn't read the memo from Hillary advisor Mark Penn:
"By Mark Penn
To: Interested Parties
From: Mark Penn, Chief Strategist
Date: Wednesday, February 13, 2008
Re: The Path to the Nomination
This election will come down to delegates. Votes are still being counted and delegates apportioned, but Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are separated by approximately 40 delegates right now - that is, barely 1% of all the delegates to the Democratic convention.
Change Begins March 4th. Hillary leads in the three largest, delegate rich states remaining: Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania. These three states have 492 delegates - 64 percent of the remaining delegates Hillary Clinton needs to win the nomination. According to the latest polls, Hillary leads in Texas (IVR Jan 30-31), Pennsylvania (Franklin & Marshall Jan 8-14) and Ohio (Columbus Dispatch Jan 23-31). After March 4th, over 3000 delegates will be committed, and we project that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be virtually tied with 611 delegates still to be chosen in Pennsylvania and other remaining states.
...As history shows, the Democratic nomination goes to the candidate who wins the most delegates.

Toll roads are not popular in Tennessee
At least judging from these comments.
They cause more accidents, more delays, more gas and more road rage. What a stupid idea!
Why should we agree to pay for the roads twice?
We don't want or need to become another Atlanta.
UPDATE: From state Rep. Stacey Campfield: Well the issue isn't totally dead. More legislation is coming next year to open the door all the way. When it is all said and done private companies (foreign owned is many times the case) will profit from roads planned by the state. Land taken with E.D. by the state and potentially fully built by the state with your tax dollars.
Where is the toll road in Atlanta?
GA 400 from Buckhead toward Roswell has a 50 cent toll. That's the only one in Atlanta.
This is news? People don't like toll roads, wow, never would have thought that.
The only way to make the Orange Route more stupid is to make it a toll road. I am afraid it will be a toll road.
If you want to see the disasterous back-ups that toll roads help create, just go visit Massachusetts. Talk about insane traffic back-ups. I spent hours stuck in traffic due to all the freaking toll stops. After that I understood why so few Yankees drive straight shift cars anymore.
While there are a lot of questions as yet unanswered, Campfield's remarks exhibit the same scare-mongering language that he uses on all issues, eg. "your tax dollars", "foreign owned", "land taken". He just doesn't know any more than anyone else, and in many cases, at lot less.
Wait for the facts -- don't listen to fear.
I am from Knoxville but have lived in Houston for the past 4 years. The toll system here is great. Talk about saving time. Someone posted about the traffic jams. If you have a pass you can go past the gates w/out stopping. Here three lanes are dedicated pass lanes, the others you must stop and pay. My questions is, where is the location of these toll roads going to be. Is the traffic that bad?
My family has been here since 1791,William Brown.I love this state, my home.I try to be aware of all pending new laws etc...
I persoanlly disagree with Stacy many timesbut not this time.check Kansas,Florida and many other states.Think about it.
If yo give a big company chance they will rape all of us on tolls.They only care about cash.We do not need tolls period anl all of us need to make sure our leaders are aware that we will not tolerate it.Give inch they will take a mile.No state tax, no tolls.
i lived i dallas for 17 years before recently moving to the knoxville area. the 2nd newest toll road there is a northern loop aroud dallas. the system is managed by a "tollroad athourity". it is another beauracracy that is out of control. the road itself is great. in the middle of nowhere, but they set the speed limit at 60-65mph. nothing but a revenue generator for donut patrol. also, they have put landscaping and sprinklers along the shoulders. but, they have to raise rates cause they can't make money.
now they are building a road to nowhere, that will NEVER pay for itself (and they know it). dallas didn't want it. but, the dallas appointed board member voted FOR it. dallas appointed a board member and now have no way of controlling their own representative. like i said; they are out of control.
I saw a study a few years back that the toll road/bridge systems in the Northeastern U.S. basically cover the cost of collecting the tolls and nothing more. Toll road systems eventually become nothing more than self-perpetuating enterprises, very similar to Europe in the middle ages where kings would dispatch thugs to extract tolls from people passing through their fiefdoms. In fact, the word fiefdom is related to the word "fee".
I currently live in Knoxville,Tn and I personally think the toll booths are a great idea. I think it will bring more money and growth to our city. I also think it will help with some of the construction that we have going on in our city. I have been here all my life and it is about time we have some excitement in Knoxville.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – As James E. Holmes' preliminary hearing continues Wednesday, prosecutors are expected to keep filling in the details of their case in the Aurora movie theater massacre that left 12 dead and as many as 70 wounded.
The hearing will determine whether enough evidence exists to try the suspected gunman. In the first two days of testimony, the prosecution methodically described the chaos and carnage inside Century 16's Theater 9 in Aurora, Colo., on July 20, as well as the events leading up to the rampage and officers' desperate efforts to save lives.

Can a HELOC be discharged in bankruptcy?
Talk to a Bankruptcy Lawyer
Can a HELOC be discharged in bankruptcy?
Whether a home equity line of credit (HELOC) can be discharged in bankruptcy depends on whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
If you want to keep your home in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you'll have to remain current on any mortgages or loans secured by your home, including HELOCs.
If you don't keep your home, any remaining loan balances after your home goes through foreclosure can be discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, if your HELOC is no longer secured by the equity in your home, the court may "strip off" the HELOC and reclassify it as unsecured property. You then pay this unsecured amount through your Chapter 13 repayment plan. Most Chapter 13 debtors don't have to repay the full amount of their unsecured debt; anything remaining at the end off the repayment period is discharged.
To learn more about stripping off a HELOC in Chapter 13, see How to Strip a Second Mortgage or HELOC in Chapter 13.

Season of Hope Fashion Show benefits local domestic violence agency

Season of Hope Fashion Show benefits local domestic violence agency
Threads of Hope and A Safe Home for Everyone are hosting the Second annual Season of Hope Fashion Show to benefit survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their children.
The show is slated for 4 to 6 p.m., Saturday, March 16, at the Ashe County High School Auditorium.
Individuals are invited to arrive at 4 p.m. when refreshments will be available and more than 15 local vendors will display various items. Merchandise such as handbags, clothing, hand-made jewelry and candles and a variety of other gift items will be available for purchase.
Door prizes, including a weekend for two at Laurel Ridge, tickets to Dollywood, gift certificates to local restaurants and more will be given away.
At 5 p.m. models of all ages will take the stage, presenting the spring line of clothing from Threads of Hope.
ASHE is the domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and intervention program for Ashe County. The program offers 24-hour crisis assistance, an emergency shelter, court advocacy, hospital accompaniment, counseling, survivor support groups, educational programs and training and the Threads of Hope thrift shop.
During fiscal year 2011-2012, ASHE served 218 clients and of those 23 women and 23 children sought safety in the emergency shelter. These numbers represent a 15 percent increase in individuals seeking services from the previous fiscal year.
For more information about ASHE, call (336) 982-8851.
Threads of Hope opened in 2006 to create a funding source for ASHE and serves as an outreach location by disseminating brochures and business cards and providing referrals for individuals in need of supportive services. The shop also shares information about the program as they interact with customers, volunteers and donors.
Threads of Hope accepts donations of new or gently used ladies clothing and accessories, men's and children's clothing, household items and small furniture. Donations are sold in our store or given to clients of ASHE.
Many times ASHE clients have nothing but the clothes on their backs when they flee an abusive situation. Providing clients with a voucher to shop at Threads of Hope is an empowering part of their healing process. The boutique is located at 420 East Main Street in Jefferson.
ASHE and Threads of Hope are programs of Ashe County Partnership for Children, a non-profit organization providing programs and services for families and children in Ashe County.
Last year's successful fashion show hosted eight vendors, sold 100 tickets and gave away over $500 worth of door prizes ranging from restaurant gift certificates, 30-minute massages to a Stephen Shoemaker print and tickets to Ripley's Aquarium and Dollywood. Over $1,200 was received for ASHE through this fundraiser.
Tickets for the show are available at Threads of Hope and Ashe County Partnership for Children. Cost for admission will be $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Admission for children age five-years-old and younger is free.
Vendor spaces are still available for $25 and the deadline for vendor registration is Feb. 28.
For more information about the fashion show, call (336) 982-4588.

How the Other Half Lives
One of my favorite stories is about One Sutton Place South (above), whose residents included Bill Blass, Sigourney Weaver, Carolyne Roehm, and of course, C.Z. Guest (below). Guest lived with her family in the famous penthouse apartment which was unceremoniously stripped of it's former glory by hedge fund president Richard Perry and his wife Lisa. It was featured in September 2002 Vogue and the slick and stark white modern monstrosity can also be seen in the new Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People.
If I've learned anything from the interior design world in New York, it's that nouveau riche don't understand history nor do they care to learn. Hence the proliferation of historic homes that are razed to make room for McMansions. But I digress. The chapter on Sutton Place is also filled with great stories about the popular interior designers of the day including Dorothy Draper and Elsie de Wolfe that I know my fellow design junkies will appreciate. The book might also make you realize that how the other half lives isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The tower view of that building immediately brings back memories for me of walking through the park and seeing this vantage point over the pond. At one time I owned a piece of the Manhattan pie in a one bedroom apartment down on 6th Street and Avenue A. I bought it for a song in the early '90s and sold it seven years later - far too early. It's now worth the $500k you mentioned. Crazy - New York has gotten so outrageously expensive. Is there still a reasonably priced neighborhood on the island of Manhattan?

Marie Louise, I keep posing that same question to everyone I know. I also want to know what area people are going to make fashionable next. Who would have known the meatpacking district would be the hot spot it is today?! The lower east side seems to be the new popular are but it's still scary down there. People get shot on Delancey. I'm not hip enough for that area either. I guess I'm stuck with the UES for a while. Sigh.

You have no idea how right you are!!! I worked for an architect in the city for over a year and if you could only (I know you can!) imagine the number of nouveau riche clients we had wanting to gut beautiful old Park Ave apartments and oh, shame, destroy wonderful original plaster works in Brooklyn townhouses!!

The book sounds really interesting, and... I know it's quibbling, but I have to object to the idea that nouveau riche and parvenus don't understand history and don't want to. You talked about Ralph Lauren in your previous post, but boyfriend is nothing if not a parvenu- and it's great that he is. Anyway, quibbling done- and thanks for the book mention. I'll have to check it out.

WASHINGTON D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) today delivered the following remarks at a reception celebrating Congressman John Lewis receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom:
"Thank you. It is a privilege and an honor to play a role in honoring Congressman John Lewis: A true American hero.
"Words like freedom, liberty and justice are a staple of modern political discourse. They describe the very highest ideals of our nation, and we hear them so often that they can easily be taken for granted. But liberty and justice for all in America came at a steep sacrifice. It came after valiant Civil Rights leaders like John Lewis endured intimidation and raw violence to expose the ugly nature of segregation.
"The brilliance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and John Lewis was the way in which they aroused the conscience of our nation – the way they were able to spur Americans to live up to their highest principles. They changed America not through the force of arms but through the power of their ideas. In a world that today finds itself in a state of flux, their example can be an excellent catalyst for change.
"John Lewis played an instrumental role in fighting the discrimination that he was born into, and today, as a Member of Congress, he continues his lifelong mission to strengthen our nation and help its people. For me, John Lewis remains so important to Congress and to America for this reason: because when we live and work among heroes, it inspires the rest of us to make courageous decisions. It encourages us to stand on principle and to treat our fellow man with dignity and respect.
"I congratulate John on being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award. I can't think of a single person more deserving of this honor."

Bill Cosby has some tough competition Saturday night — himself.
Cosby returns to television after a long delay with a special premiering on Comedy Central on Saturday. And he returns to Columbia with a show at the Koger Center for the Arts that same night, starting at the same time as the TV special, 8 p.m.
Fans attending the Koger Center performance shouldn't be concerned. Cosby hasn't resorted to the foul language and sex jokes so common on Comedy Central. His special begins with a bit on just that concern.
Cosby says when he told some people about his upcoming special, they asked: "Is this a new Comedy Central?"
"I said, 'No, it's the one you see all the time,'" Cosby said. "One of the guys started crying. I said 'What's wrong?' And he said (anguish in his voice), 'Mr. Cosby's going to curse.'"
Relax. The only thing that's changed is that Cosby's deliberate pace of delivery has slowed even more with age, giving him more time to scrunch his face or roll his eyes to accentuate his clean bits on relationships and families.
Those situations are modernized by mentions of cellphones and computer technology, but the relationship humor is timeless. (Cosby's website features a letter from a fan whose 97-year-old mother has dementia. The fan recently rediscovered an old Cosby comedy album, and his mother laughs at the jokes every time the album is played as if she was hearing them for the first time.)
The special is entitled "Bill Cosby: Far From Finished," and his current tour offers evidence. Cosby, 76, is playing 14 shows from coast to coast in 24 nights in the November and December leg of the tour, which runs through May.
Nearly 50 years after the release his first comedy album and nearly 30 years after the debut of "The Cosby Show," the comedy giant even is talking about returning to the weekly television scene with a new show based on, surprise, family relationships.
Cosby has performed in Columbia numerous times, and his most noteworthy stops in the Midlands came during a three-year period at the height of the popularity of "The Cosby Show."
Cosby had planned a comedy tour stop at Carolina Coliseum May 17, 1986. That happened to be the same day as commencement ceremonies for the University of South Carolina. Then-USC president Jim Holderman used his Hollywood connections to convince Cosby to speak at the commencement.
For the first time, USC issued tickets for its graduation ceremony, limiting the crowd mostly to graduates and their parents. Cosby flew into Columbia at 5 a.m. and ate breakfast in the IHOP on Assembly Street, to the delight of the restaurant's staff.
His speech had the crowd in stitches.
"All across this great nation, people are graduating and hearing they are going forth," he said. "My concern is whether they know where 'forth' is. 'Forth' is not back home. Yes, we love you, and we are proud of you, and we are not tired of you. But you can make us tired. There's nothing worse than a daughter or son with a college degree still at home."
Later, he talked about the youngsters hurrying to take over for the current leaders. Then he turned to the others on the dias – including author Alex Haley, S.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Julius B. Hess and banking executive Hugh McColl – and wondered whether the kids really wanted to replace them. "You look at these old faces back there – leaders! But look what it's done to the people."
When he finished the speech, Cosby zipped open the front of his gown to reveal the grey sweatsuit he was wearing underneath had "CAROLINA" written in block garnet letters across the chest.
As Holderman handed out the degrees, Cosby jumped up occasionally to congratulate a student, including an especially animated embrace of a law graduate named William T. Causby.
Still an attorney in the Columbia area, Causby never will forget that day. "My dad loved that story," Causby said. "He had me tell it to everyone we'd meet."
Causby goes by his middle name of Thomas, so his clients don't figure out the famous namesake. But his driver's license has his full name, so when he shows it to store clerks, they often make Bill Cosby comments. The graduation-day fun "made all the jokes about the name worthwhile," Causby said.
Cosby did his standard comedy show that night before a paid crowd at the Coliseum. He returned to the venue Dec. 1, 1989, for a sold-out Hurricane Hugo benefit event, which raised $140,000 in disaster relief funds.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A search is on for a Kentuckiana man wrongly released from jail in Alabama. Joshua Gouker made headlines early this summer after the disappearance and death of his stepson, 14-year-old Trey Zwicker.
Gouker, who is separated from Zwicker's mom, disappeared along with his 15-year-old son Josh Young shortly after Zwicker's death. The two were found in Alabama in mid-June and were arrested on unrelated charges.
Young is charged with Zwicker's murder. Gouker would be charged with a gun-related charge and kidnapping. That's in addition to his Kentucky probation violation.
Gouker has been housed in an Alabama jail since June, but the charges there were dropped and he was released from jail on September 28. Alabama police originally said he was released to Indiana for a warrant he had there, but Kentucky Probation and Parole instead say that Alabama police simply set him free.
It's not clear what caused the mix-up or how the justice process failed the public. Detectives in Kentuckiana say they've been following leads and talking to people who know Gouker, but that hasn't turned up anything, meaning they're not even sure if he's in the area.
Gouker, 31, has a teardrop tattoo on his left eye and horns tattooed on his hairline. If you have any information, you're asked to call 574-LMPD.

Police say they found a gun near one of the family members.

Student Profiles
Current students talk about the environmental science co-major in the context of their Miami experiences.
Ian Winner (2012)
I did not always want to go into environmental work. My 'light bulb moment' came freshman year when my friend Brian told me about the effects of bottled water. Soon thereafter, I bought a reusable water bottle and was well on my way to becoming an environmentalist.
[More from Ian ...]
John Whalen (2013)
I picked up the environmental science co-major right away. I thought all of the required courses sounded interesting and the co-major would give me a more liberal education ... My plans now include graduate school to study marine biology or environmental science policy and management.
[More from John ...]
April Maurer (2012)
Growing up, I was taught to respect and care for the environment. I wanted to come out of college with not only the tools to be successful but also the background necessary to enjoy and find meaning in my work. At Miami, I was able to achieve the environmental science co-major while still having flexibility in which classes I would take.
[More from April ...]
Erin Bozarth (2013)
At Miami, I'm involved in a brand new chapter of Net Impact, ... it focuses on social as well as environmental responsibility ... This chapter was just recently founded at Miami and everyone has really high hopes to make Miami and Oxford greener through our work!
[More from Erin ...]
Anne Golembeski (2012)
I'm involved in Miami's student environmental group, Green Oxford. We do a number of projects throughout the year to promote sustainability in the Miami and Oxford communities. I've personally been involved in organizing our annual Earth Day 5K for the past two years.
[More from Anne ...]
Kate Ceronie (2012)
I focused [my research] on the history of environmental literature, and looked at how the writing of authors like Emerson and Thoreau, who are generally classified within the realm of literature, had an effect on the American environmental movement.
[More from Kate ...]
Jeena Credico (2013)
I've found that the [environmental science] co-major has allowed me to diversify my learning and gain a more global perspective on how other people view the environment ... after taking the courses required for the co-major, I've become more passionate about how successful conservation efforts can be established.
[More from Jeena ...]

Names: Alec Weiner (President), Kelly Mulka (Vice President), Emily Cohen (Treasurer), Josie Gerber (Secretary), and Meredith Kuraska (Social Chairman).
Accomplishment: This group has been very active in the areas of community service, school spirit, and affecting positive change within the school.
Key to Awesomeness: They have been tenacious, diligent, dedicated, and responsible.
"I haven't a bad word to say about them," said class advisor Kandace Murdock. "They have single handedly motivated the school and created cohesiveness in their class. They are in my room almost daily checking in!"
She added that one student has taken on a bulletin board in the junior hallway to update everyone on games, events, and holiday plans. There is another board they prepared that is devoted to the next three months and has a check list of how to prepare for prom (what to wear, how to ask your date, when to buy the corsage, etc.).
Murdock says that these officers have challenged the class to unify, created one of the best spirit weeks in years, and handed out munchkins and pencils to the class on the first day of school.
They also did a fundraiser where they sold sweatshirts
They helped organize Cool Schools when Ellington High School was on it, Weiner ran a can drive where they received over 7,000 cans to be donated to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry, and Mulka is going to be running a mini Relay for Life next year at the school.
"These kids have been wonderful," Murdock said. "I think the the thing with these guys is that they're forward thinkers. They truly want their experience and their class' experience to be as great as it can be. I think that's a unique quality for any group of officers."

Ramabhai, Leena I. (2000) The effect of load carriage on selected metabolic and perceptual responses of military personnel. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Taking a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach, the present study sought to examine selected physiological and psycho-physical parameters related to load carriage involving a 12 km march under military conditions. Military constraints hampered, but did not entirely inhibit the secondary aim of the study which concerned the effectiveness of relativising loads in order to normalise responses for all soldiers, irrespective of morphological diversity. Forty three subjects were measured in six groups using a test-retest experimental protocol. They were involved in a rest-broken 12 km march at 4 km.h⁻¹ under 40.5 kg absolute total load and under a relative load of 37% of body mass. Heart rates, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) as well as area and intensity of discomfort were monitored for all subjects. Ten subjects were measured more extensively with regard to physiology using the Metamax, a portable ergospirometry system that provides all the data needed for a complete functional analysis of lung, heart, circulation and metabolic activity. Physiological responses (fc; fb; V̇T; V̇E; V̇O₂; EE; V̇CO₂; R; T°) indicated subjects were not severely physically taxed and that the loads imposed constituted a sub-maximal demand. Moreover, there appeared to be a limited cumulative effect over the 3.5 h. Data from the first and third hours were similar, while the significantly higher responses in the second hour reflected the challenge of the undulating terrain encountered during this section of the march. All responses during the Relative load conditions mirrored those of the Absolute load condition but, because the demands were less, the trends occurred at a reduced level. Furthermore, the reduction in inter-individual variability indicates that relativised load carriage tends to stress the soldiers in a more uniform manner. All "local" RPE responses were higher than "central" ratings, suggesting soldiers were in good cardiovascular condition and experienced marginally more strain in the lower limbs. There was increased perceived strain corresponding to the increase in gradient, with little cumulative effect over the three hours. The shoulders and feet were the two regions in which most discomfort was experienced; the shoulders being the worst area in the first hour and the feet being rated the worst after the third hour of marching. This study clearly demonstrates the probability of a significant improvement in mean combat-readiness following loaded marching by showing that, if loads are set at levels commensurate with individual capabilities to carry them without undue strain, unnecessary physical demands experienced by smaller, more gracile soldiers are reduced.

So many times this past week, when talking to a new clients about their anxiety symptoms or panic attacks, I have heard how vulnerable the each client feels as a result of these horrible anxious feelings that seem to come from nowhere. Of course, because the client becomes so totally focused on his or her symptoms, the sense of vulnerability, the fear of more and worse symptoms takes over.
I certainly understand and respect how each client feels, not understanding what is happening and waiting for an ambush of yet another round of anxiousness or debilitating panic. I personally KNOW how it feels to have panic attacks and Obsessive-Compulive symptoms.
What I really focus on is helping each client see and understand that the vulnerability they feel is most often the result of feeling vulnerable in their life, mostly due to emotional conflicts and issues with people. So, in essence, REAL LIFE creates situations and conflicts that especially when repressed or avoided, create the feeling of being out of control, which makes us feel vulnerable and weak. This leads to anxiety symptoms which seem to come out of the blue, because remember, we are trying to avoid those real live issues and conflicts.
Why do we avoid and thereby become vulnerable to anxiety ? We so often become lazy, complacent and too dependent on others because of our need for approval and acceptance or our fear of rejection or failure. We stop taking care of ourselves, and sort of let ourselves go instead of always trying to look our best. We feel stuck in a frustrating, even sometimes an abusive relationship, but the longer we stay, the more we doubt we can do any better. We are frustrated in a job that is not challenging, but avoid more education or training for fear of failing, or just laziness, and that again causes us to feel in conflict within ourselves, and more vulnerable.
So the anxiety symptoms become the focus of the client's attention, and distract him or her that much more from dealing with the source issues. " I can't do anything about that or make any decisions until this anxiety and panic stops !" In therapy, I bring the client back to the real issues and help the client look at all options and choices, while making sure that the client takes small but important steps to deal with the conflicts. Most often, it takes time to turn things around in one's life, to take steps to be more in control. That is ok, as long as there is a PLAN, because having a plan gives one a sense of control.
I am NOT saying people who have these anxiety symptoms are weak. However, they often are adapting personality types who try too hard to please, stretch too far to be needed by others while not expressing their needs, and are all too often taken advantage of by those who can. The most gullible tend to be the caregivers, conformers and peacekeepers along with many perfectionists. Good people, caring people, who get lost in seeking approval.
Back to therapy ! Yes, of course we work to help the client deal with, understand and desensitize to the actual anxiety symptoms. And yes, we use medications as necessary to help relieve some anxiety, although that is not the answer to really taking control of the symptoms.
The answer is knowledge of what is really happening to you, developing a PLAN to deal with the sources of your emotional conflicts,and learning you can control the symptoms until you gradually gain trust in yourself that YOU can take better care of yourself in the real world where some people in your life play games with you. You learn to assert yourself, respectfully but firmly. You learn to set boundaries. You learn that healthy, non controlling, non manipulating people will actually respect you more for speaking your mind, because you are at the same time, respectful to them. You learn that those who have other agendas, and just use and manipulate, need to be gradually made a lesser part of your life. Not easy you say ? Your right, it is not easy to set such boundaries when the offending person is a boss, intrusive mother-in-law, or a bully. Each case is unique with different solutions, but a general rule to follow to be less vulnerable to difficult people is to never become complacent, never allow your professional skills to lag, always be busy creating new contacts and realizing and EXPERIENCING the EVIDENCE that you can grow and change. The persons who survive dealing with difficult people are the ones who keep their momentum going, thereby decreasing their dependency on the people who would do them harm. Too often we allow ourselves to become dependent on these people, or we avoid speaking up, we do not take steps to grow so our self-esteem and confidence deteriorates over time. When there is momentum, there is growth. Where there is visible growth, there is self-esteem. Where their is self-esteem, there is the perception that you can achieve so much more. The more you achieve, the less vulnerable you are because the world needs achievers.

Sophia Bednarik is a Senior Undergraduate Photography Major at the Maryland Institute College of Art (M|I|C/A)
In 2011, she donated one of her paintings to the "Just World International Foundation" for a silent auction to benefit children in need around the world. From 2009-2010, she was a full-time Media Production Intern at Discovery Channel Communications for Discovery Creative/Animal Planet producer Marley Bunce. Today, she presently works as a freelance photographer and commissioned artist. Her photographic abilities earned her employment under On The Ball Sports Magazine (OTBS) where she is currently pursuing her longtime passion for sports photography. Nearly each week her photographic press coverage of highlighted sporting events are published in online editorials. Under OTBS, in December 2013, Sophia provided full photographic coverage of the MD State High School Football Championships at the Baltimore Raven's own M&T Bank Stadium. From a fine art perspective, she has evolved an avid interest in drawing visual similarities between people and systems. Currently, much of her fine art work consists of visual and written explorations of medicine and science articulated through photographic processes. She presently uses her time at M|I|C/A to build upon this evolving dynamic by relating it to various scientific phenomena of everyday life. As a result of her efforts, from September to December in 2013, she served an internship under Director of Hopkins Pathology Photography and Associate Professor, Norman Barker, with the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution. Originally from Highland, MD, she is now operating out of Baltimore City.

Panorama9 was founded in 2010 by the Danish software start-up team behind the anti-spam success, SoftScan. In less than six years, SoftScan realized 12,000-plus clients from 15 users at enterprises like IKEA and Orkla. SoftScan was a market leader in hosted e-mail services removing spam and virus e-mails and was sold in 2009 to IT security giant, Symantec.
The Panorama9 founders have always been inspired by servicing in the cloud, or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), ever since launching their first company SoftCom Solutions. While there, they introduced Softcare, a fully remote managed IT solution for small- to medium-sized businesses.
With the goal of democratizing technology, Panorama9's Diego d'Ambra and Allan Thorvaldsen have always had a razor-sharp focus on simplicity. They believe IT management should be designed to be faster, require fewer resources and include as much automation as possible. When IT management is easy, small and large companies alike become empowered to provide superior service to their users and customers. It's that simple.
The Panorama9 all-in-one dashboard performance tool lets companies monitor everything within the network. Diego and Allan are at the core of the Panorama9 Dashboard concept and have dedicated more than a decade of their careers to the problem of pinpointing and preventing errors within the IT environment.
Downtime is never acceptable. The Panorama9 Dashboard foresees and solves the issues at hand before a problem occurs. Panorama9 is easy to use, takes one minute to install, and we don't keep pricing a secret.
Diego and Allan are developers at heart. Maybe that's why Panorama9 users love the product. Don't take their word for it. Follow Panorama9 on Twitter and Facebook, check out the customer page, and simply just try it out – it's free for 30 days.
