Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an ape-like giant creature of American folklore. It is generally believed that Bigfoot resides in forests and is a rather elusive creature. Over time, Bigfoot has captured the imagination of people worldwide and countless Bigfoot sightings have been reported in the past. However, Bigfoot sightings continue to be reported almost every day. Countless pictures and video footage of Bigfoot also exist, although most of these are blurry and not very convincing.
Over the years, a great number of people have claimed to have captured, killed, and been abducted by the mysterious creature. Countless theories try to explain Bigfoot and his origins have also been proposed. Some of them are more believable than others but all are equally amusing. Scientists generally discount the idea of Bigfoot claiming that he is nothing more than a mixture of folklore, misidentification and hoax. They claim that no physical evidence of the creature has ever been found. Furthermore, they argue that if Bigfoot did exist, a large Bigfoot breeding population would have to be maintained in order to prevent extinction.
However, years of research and investigation have failed to find any sufficient evidence, much to the dismay of Bigfoot believers. Nonetheless, it is argued that it is possible that Bigfoot doesn't want to be discovered and that even if the government knew of its existence it would try to cover it up.
15 Bigfoot-Giganto Theory
Where did Bigfoot come from? That's what the Bigfoot-Giganto theory aims to answer. If Bigfoot exists, then he must have a history. Proponents of this theory say that Bigfoot originates from an ancient creature called "Gigantopithecus Blacki" (see image above). This ancient creature, a distant relative to orangutans, was just as big and terrifying as Bigfoot. In fact, he was the biggest primate to ever walk the earth: he was three meters tall and weighed up to 270kg. And he really did exist – fossil evidence makes this very clear. So what happened to Gigantopithecus Blacki? Some say it became extinct 300,000 years ago due to climate change, poor diet, competition with early humans, and maybe even predation by early humans. Others argue that Gigantopithecus Blacki, who lived in Asia, simply evolved into Bigfoot in North America. During the Pleistocene Epoch sea levels were lower than usual because of ice-age conditions and glaciers, and a natural land bridge between Asia and North America was formed. Some believe that Gigantopithecus crossed the bridge and ended up in North America.
14 Bigfoot Is Mentioned In The Bible
Some people claim that Bigfoot is mentioned in the Bible, and thus, according to them, he almost certainly exists. Proponents of this theory often mention Esau, a man who was covered in hair. Esau's descendants, the Edomites, were enemies of Israel. Thus, some speculate that the creatures we call "Bigfoot" are in actual fact modern-day Edomites and are "men of the field". Others say that Bigfoot is the descendant of Adam and Eve's son Cain. Cain was a murderer and was thus condemned by God to forever wander the earth restlessly. Just like Cain, Bigfoot is condemned to be separated from the rest of humanity and has developed a monstrous appearance. Still others refuse to believe in the theories above and instead use complex Bible codes to find mentions of Bigfoot in the Bible.
13 Bigfoot Was Born After A Cryptid 'Mated' With Modern Human Females
In 2012, a Texan researcher Dr. Melba S. Ketchum shocked the world not only with her claim that Bigfoot is a direct relative of man but also with her claim that he had sex with human females 15,000 years ago. Dr. Ketchum said the research took her five years to complete and was carried out by her firm "DNA Diagnostics". The firm had allegedly discovered the genetic proof that Bigfoot is a human hybrid. Furthermore, Bigfoot is said to have descended from human women having intercourse with men of "unknown hominin species". But how does Dr. Ketchum know this? Apparently, she gathered evidence from leftover blueberry bagels eaten by a family of Bigfoots in Michigan. The DNA found on these bagels supposedly shows evidence of genetic mixing.
12 Bigfoot Is A Ghost
Why is spotting Bigfoot so difficult? Some say it's because he's a ghost! Sure, people claim to have spotted Bigfoot all the time, but Bigfoot's body, or bones for that matter, have never been found. But it's not just the lack of material evidence that makes this theory seem somewhat probable. According to some, paranormal elements are almost always present in Bigfoot sightings. Some people who claim they have witnessed Bigfoot also claim to have seen mysterious lights at the time of the sighting. But that's not all. Researchers are often baffled when Bigfoot's footprints disappear into nowhere, as if the creature just vanished into thin air. Plus, during hunts for Bigfoot, researchers often experience electronic malfunctions similar to those one would experience during a ghost hunt. And of course, photos of Bigfoot are always blurry and no hair or flesh sample has been ever found.
11 Bigfoot Is An Alien
Some claim that Bigfoot is neither a missing link between man and apes nor a ghost. He is, in actual fact, an alien entity. This unusual theory has been around for quite some time. In fact, the first story that reported Bigfoot as an alien goes back to 1888 when a cattleman described running into Indians in California. The Indians brought the cattleman to a cave where he saw a hairy humanoid creature sitting cross-legged. One Indian confided that three of these "Crazy Bears" appeared from a little moon that dropped from the sky and landed. Once the "Crazy Bears" got off, the "moon" took off into the sky. There were no more bizarre sightings for a while, but in 1973, a woman and her son were sleeping in a trailer in Ohio. During the night the woman got up for a glass of water and noticed a strange cone of light in the parking lot. Nearby, she noticed an ape-like creature that stepped into the light and disappeared. Many more stories like this exist, and many claim that Bigfoot creatures are either UFO pilots or ET creatures that have been deposited on earth as guinea pigs.
10 Bigfoot Is Dead
In 2008, Georgian residents Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer claimed that they had a dead Bigfoot body in their possession. However, their fame did not last long as it was soon discovered that the supposed Bigfoot was in actual fact a rubber ape costume. The con first became obvious when a few hairs were plucked from the defrosting body and burned for analysis.
In 2012, Rick Dyer, the same guy who tried to con the world in 2008, claimed he killed Bigfoot and went on a tour with the corpse across Texas, Florida and Georgia. He said he captured Bigfoot by luring it with pork ribs. He nailed the pork ribs to a tree in San Antonio and when Bigfoot got near enough, shot him. Dyer released a number of photographs of the dead Bigfoot and claimed that DNA tests, 3D optical scans and body scans have been carried out to verify that the body was in actual fact the body of Bigfoot.
9 Bigfoot Is A Supernatural Creature
According to some Native American stories, Bigfoot creatures have supernatural powers, such as the ability to turn invisible. Some tribes believe that Bigfoot is the guardian of nature whereas others think that they are malevolent creatures who love to cause harm to humans. However, even though ascribed with supernatural abilities, they are nonetheless considered creatures of the forest and not spirits or ghosts. Most Native American tribes believe that Bigfoot is very similar to humans and that he lives in the same physical dimensions as humans and other animals. According to Native American, Bigfoot creatures are curious beings that blend the knowledge of animals with a consciousness or intelligence of humans. Thus, Bigfoot is regarded as a special type of being. His appearance to humans is said to always convey some kind of message.
8 Bigfoot Is The Last Caveman
Could Bigfoot be the last caveman to exist? Some people certainly think so and witness reports have long been pointing to this possibility. For example, in 1927, a group of friends were on a picnic near the mountain town of Agassiz, a place where many Bigfoot sightings have been reported. A man named Herbert Point and a girl named Adeline August fell behind the group when they saw a strange creature approaching them. The man later wrote in a letter, "He was twice as big as the average man, with hands [arms?] so long they nearly touched the ground, and his nose seemed spread all over his face. His body was covered with hair like an animal. He stopped within fifty feet of us. We ran away as fast as we could." Similarly, in 2007 a man named Robert Wilson claimed he saw what he thought was a bear. But upon closer inspection he realized that he could only describe the creature he was seeing "as a large, hairy man who looked cave man-like… with sort of Neanderthal features. As big as a bear, easily".
7 Bigfoot Was Captured By The Government
It is said that in 1999, Battle Mountain in Nevada exploded and went on fire. An anonymous government employee alerted the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) because Bigfoot was hurt in the fire. The anonymous government employee allegedly said that he had noticed an animal wounded by fire. The animal was moving on all fours like an ape. The fire fighters captured the animal and contacted the local vet and medical doctor. U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Interior and Bureau of Land Management were also present. The large, human-like animal was supposedly tranquilized and moved to an unknown location. Those present during the fire and the capture of the animal were told to remain quiet about what had happened. It is believed that the animal was Bigfoot and that he was hidden by the authorities in a huge cover-up.
6 Bigfoot Buries Its Dead
Some say that the reason there is no evidence to support Bigfoot is because it buries its dead. There have been numerous reports of people witnessing Bigfoot burying other Bigfoots. For example, in summer 1992 a Philosophy teacher in Oregon witnessed two Bigfoots with two smaller baby Bigfoots burying another Bigfoot under a pile of stones. The teacher claimed that the Bigfoots were acting sad. A year later, the site was investigated but flooding had washed the stones away and the site could not be rediscovered. It is also said that the remains of a Bigfoot are incredibly heavy so even when people do kill a Bigfoot or find a Bigfoot's body, they are simply unable to carry it. When people leave the body behind and go looking for authorities other Bigfoots carry the remains elsewhere in the meantime. Thus, when the person returns the body he claims to have seen is missing.
5 Bigfoot Is A Ground Sloth
As far as theories go, this one is a bit unusual: Bigfoot is in actual fact an extinct ground sloth that evolved to look like an ape. Sloths belong to a superorder Xenarthra. Xenarthra means "strange joints" because mammals that belong to this superorder have vertebral joints with extra articulations. Males from this order also have internal reproductive organs that are found between the bladder and the rectum. Similarly, no one has ever reported seeing Bigfoot's genitals. Sloths also digest their food slowly. In fact, it could take between one to three weeks for the food that sloth has ingested to pass through the sloth's guts. Proponents of this theory say that maybe there's a reason we have never found Bigfoot's food: perhaps he has a sloth's gut and can go without food for extended periods of time. Finally, those who believe that Bigfoot is the descendant of a sloth point out that Bigfoot moves just as slowly as a sloth does.
4 Bigfoot Is A Troll
Some people claim that Bigfoot is actually a troll. Trolls are giants that don't truly belong to this world. As such, they can never be photographed. If a troll is photographed the photo will necessarily come out blurry. Furthermore, some say that we view trolls depending on how our mind interprets them. Since our minds perceive trolls more clearly than what is actually present in front of us, a troll can be best described as a vibration. So why do some people think that Bigfoot is a troll? Well, neither trolls nor Bigfoot can ever be photographed and if a photo of them is taken it comes out blurry. Both physical evidence of trolls and Bigfoot is non-existent. Finally, there are countless of reported cases where Bigfoot's footprints have suddenly ended as if the creature had disappeared into thin air. And of course, everyone knows that trolls can appear and disappear at whim.
3 According To One Writer Bigfoot Is An Inter-Dimensional Psychic
Some people take the whole supernatural Bigfoot theory even further. For example, writer Linda Jo Martin claims that Bigfoot is a bit of a psychic and that is why no one ever sees him. According to Martin, Bigfoot has the ability to pick up on the vibes of people. So when Bigfoot senses people coming towards him, especially with a camera, he simply disappears, sometimes to different dimensions or universes. The solution? Martin advises to bring a psychic on the next Bigfoot hunting trip. That way, the psychic can telepathically communicate with Bigfoot and tell him that they mean no harm. Martin isn't the only one to believe that Bigfoot is a psychic. Countless stories exist in which people have successfully communicated with Bigfoot thanks to telepathy.
2 Bigfoot Is Part-Human, Part-Lemur
Believe it or not, but some people claim that Bigfoot is part human part lemur. Apparently, lemurs have several traits in common with Bigfoot. Both lemurs and Bigfoot have a moist, naked surface around the nostrils of the nose known as the rhinarium. Both lemurs and Bigfoot are also said to be nocturnal creatures. And finally, probably the biggest piece of evidence in favour of this theory is the fact that lemurs have a luminescent membrane inside their eyes. This membrane is called tapetum lucidum. It captures low levels of light and thus helps lemurs see in the dark. When an external light source hits lemur's eyes, it immediately bounces off the membrane, producing a peculiar "eye-shine" in the process. Similarly, it is believed that Bigfoot also has this luminescent membrane inside their eyes because many people have reported eye shine in their encounters of Bigfoot at night.
1 Bigfoot Doesn't Exist
Some people simply refuse to believe that Bigfoot exists. While many claim that Bigfoot is some kind of undiscovered species of primate, sceptics find this theory problematic. They reason that there are no apes in North America and no evidence that there ever were any in the first place. Sceptics also dismiss the Bigfoot-Giganto theory, saying that it lacks evidence. They also doubt the Neanderthal theory and in general dismiss any linkage between Bigfoot and human species. Even a very primitive human species would be building fires and constructing shelters and we would naturally know about it. Thus, many sceptics claim that Bigfoot is nothing more than a nice story that originated among the tribes of North America. Many North American stories were a mixture of the real, the spiritual and the fairytale. So cynics claim that stories of Bigfoot are as real as stories about lake monsters and fairy-like creatures.

Rates & Accountability
4 Comments
Radical change is still needed at Council – and that's what I'll deliver together with our new CEO. Debt and rates are high and keep rising. We MUST CHANGE what and how Council works. I've got the drive and knowhow to lead that change, and I'll take decisive action including:
- A Mayoral Taskforce targeting a 3% rate cap (currently 5%) and even less in subsequent years. Due to the complexity of our operations and the proposed sewerage plant development, it might take two years to achieve all the desired reduction in operating costs. Savings will be achievable with Council concentrating on what we must do, instead of trying to do everything and unnecessary things that people don't even notice! The current staffing structure is also ineffective and staffing needs are now being reviewed. Our new CEO has confirmed he can achieve these savings and improvements in services, but it will take commitment by the Governance team and especially the Mayor.
- Council must adopt a Strategy with key objectives against which all expenditure is prioritised – growth initiatives and essential infrastructure must be our top priorities.
- Set high standards of accountability:
- Councillors pay linked to meeting attendance and training early in the term.
- Regular Mayoral public meetings and reporting against key targets
- Assignment of specific roles to Councillors including bi-annual public meetings in assigned suburbs.
- A two day response time to communications from the public.
- A new Committee structure to ensure better informed decision making.
- Councillors to receive Agendas 1 week prior to council meetings to provide sufficient time to understand and consult on complex issues.
- There is too much of Council's business being held in Confidence. I'll ensure all discussions are held in public, unless absolutely necessary.
- No more surprise changes to street and place names. I'll ensure we consult on any proposed changes – I'm not suggesting there are any more to come – but change seems to be constant these days, so lets get prepared!
Please read my other Goals and Press Releases to fully understand the full range of what needs to happen at Council if we are to achieve rapid growth and a sustainable Whanganui that our children want to live in.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for early this week, warning of a major winter storm that could bring as much as 30 cm of snow.
The Statement follows:
Special weather statement in effect for:
- Brantford – County of Brant
- Woodstock – Tillsonburg – Oxford County
Major winter storm threatens Southern Ontario early this week.
As if to remind us that spring has not officially begun yet, Mother Nature is gearing up for a significant winter storm. A developing low pressure centre currently over the Northwestern United States will track just south of the Great Lakes on Monday and Monday night.
Snow is forecast to begin over Southwestern Ontario during the day Monday then spread over much of the remainder of Southern Ontario Monday night through Tuesday. Cold Arctic air already in place over the Great Lakes will ensure it will be a dry fluffier snow, resulting in localized blowing snow as winds strengthen during the storm.
Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 centimetres are likely with enhanced amounts closer to 30 centimetres possible in the Hamilton to Niagara corridor, due to added moisture from Lake Ontario. Snowfall amounts will likely be appreciably less north of the Greater Toronto Area towards Georgian Bay and into parts of Eastern Ontario. The snow should taper off Tuesday night in most areas.
This snowstorm has the potential to significantly affect travel due to accumulating snow and blowing snow resulting in hazardous winter driving conditions.
Winter storm watches and warnings will likely be issued in due course, as the storm track and amounts become more certain
For more information check EC's alerts page.

12 Apostles Fun On Our Annual Charity Day!Written by Great Ocean Air
Our last flight down to the 12 Apostles was awesome! Took off from Barwon Heads and climbed out tracking south over the ocean before a right turn to run down the coast. Bells Beach looked great with a bunch of surfers out waiting for their special wave. Tracked on past Anglesea on onto Aireys Inlet. The ocean was
pure magic. The high sun illuminated the white sand below, shadows of surfers on the seabed. We continued west past the historic Wye River General Store and onto Apollo Bay. The Great Ocean Road winding its way around the coastline. Around Cape Otway – king Island just visible just off behind to the left. Moonlight Head in front of us as we tracked on towards the 12 Apostles. Otway national park on out right. A gentle sea mist rising up from the surf. Then the 12 Apostles appeared – what a great sight, cruising coastal just off shore, slowing down to feast on the sight of a smooth ocean lapping at the feet of the limestone Stacks we call Apostles. A great day!

text: A tragic accident offers some teachable moments Apr11 by 2720wpczar [column width="1/1″ last="true" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"] We ran across a story from Minnesota that broke our hearts. It also got us thinking. Toward the end of November 2013, a young woman's car crashed into a holding pond off a highway ramp. She was able to escape, but it would take half an hour for rescuers to reach the five children, age 7 and under, that were in the car with her. Two of the children died. The three survivors spent months in the hospital recovering. The children were all part of the blended family of the 23-year-old driver and her boyfriend. She was taking them to school or to daycare or something, following a route she had driven before. But she was driving with just a learner's permit. Minnesota, like California, requires an adult driver with an instruction permit to be accompanied by at least one other adult driver. Both states require drivers to have auto insurance, but this young woman had none. Both states also require young children — under age 7 in California, under age 8 in Minnesota — to be in car seats or booster seats. This was not the case in this accident. The driver has been sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse and a year of probation. The family's problems go well beyond the criminal charges, though. Without insurance and with modest means, the family will likely be paying off medical bills for years to come. It is hard to get past the tragedy of it all. It is our business, though, to look at accidents like this and to think about how they would play out in California. It is our job to remind our readers about state laws meant to keep drivers and their passengers safe. It is our job to educate our readers about how to protect themselves from financial ruin if they are involved in an accident like this. We will get into those details in our next post. [/column]

A few weeks ago Nintendo released it's newest incarnation of the wildly popular Nintendo DS system, the DSi. The system sports a number of new features like built in cameras, internal memory, SD card compatibility, larger screens, larger stylus and improved sound. The system also features some software upgrades like a new 'channel' interface menu, similar to the Nintendo Wii, downloadable web browser, music recorder and editor as well as access to the DSi Shop, which allows users to download apps like the mentioned web browser and original games through a service called DSiWare. Now this is all fine and dandy, but do all of these new bells and whistles really mean you should upgrade your DS or hold out on this one?

SO VERY TRUEDiscussion on living for a better and more responsible future
9 posts • Page 1 of 1
Interesting read for those who think they are on the leading edge of "saving the environment"
In the queue at Tesco's, the young cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologised to her and explained, "Well, we didn't have that 'green thingy' years ago."
That's right, we didn't have the 'green thingy' years ago. Back then, we returned our milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the shop. The shop sent them back to the factory to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over again. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the 'green thingy' back then!
A few years ago, we walked up stairs, because there wasn't a lift in every department store and office building. We walked to the grocery shop and didn't climb into a 200-horsepower machine every time we had to 'pop up the shops'. But she's right. We didn't have that 'green thingy' years ago.
Back then, we washed the baby's nappies because we didn't have the disposable kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 240 volts – wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Children got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right; we didn't have that 'green thingy' years ago.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house – not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish, not a screen the size of a shed. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the post, we used screwed up newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.
Back then, we didn't start up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working, so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have that 'green thingy' years ago.
We drank from a fountain or a glass when we were thirsty, instead of using a plastic cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade was blunt. But we didn't have the 'green thingy' back then.
Back then, children walked, or rode their bikes to school, or caught the bus, instead of turning their mums into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical socket in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerised gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest takeaway.
But that old lady is right. We didn't have that 'green thingy' years ago.
..And we didn't have ugly, stinking, space-taking, maggot infested wheelie bins either, making our gardens look like a dumping ground on a council estate, or do-gooders turning the 'green thingy' into a religion and warning those that don't follow the rules that they will burn in hell!
Oh, I wish this country could go back to the 1960's when it had proper people in it, doing proper jobs.

So true
Re: SO VERY TRUE
I recall the 60's quite well too and always say I wouldnt swap the era I grew up in for todays ways . BUT times have moved on and the majority of us have to move as well ,it would take a much stronger person than me to change the way things are done and go back as you say Maggie . I think it would take a catastrophe to happen before life was so simple again
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .
Quote from the proprietor of the The best exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful
Re: SO VERY TRUE
Moving to Southern Ireland has taken me back a lot. It is so OLD SCHOOL here. People pass you in the street and say hello and don't mind talking. People here are all family oriantated. Its family first.
A typical example last week we were driving back from the ferry after having a week in UK. An old man waved us down and we could see a funeral was going on. (everything stops for a funeral)The hearse came out of the churchyard and the graveyard was a quarter mile down the road. Behind the hearse were 6 men carrying the coffin and they proceeded to walk to the graveyard. Then we couldn't believe our eyes when 3 to 500 people walked behind the coffin. There was no rush, no police directing the traffic and all done with complete dignity. No honking horns because they couldn't pass and we were stopped a good half hour.
So totally different

Re: SO VERY TRUE
I think we were all much more contented in the 60`s. People had different expectations of life which were based on reality. When I was married in the 70`s and we set up home, the only thing apart from wedding presents which was new, was our bed. We didnt have items of furnitue on the list, just the things we would need to set up our lives. All our furnitue was second hand and given to us by various members of the family and we were very grateful for it.
My kids wont even consider having second hand stuff and always moan about having no money. I still loiter in charity shops for things. I wouldnt want to be a young adult in todays society, for anything.
You are right Maggie, we were in fact much greener, then, than we are now, and in many ways better for it.
I`m not a teacher for nothing, you know!! If I was clever, I`d be dangerous.
Re: SO VERY TRUE
As you say we had nothing. I got married 47 years ago. All we had was what I'd bought for my bottom drawer. As for furniture that was all second hand. When our son arrived we got a second hand pram and cot and his wardrobe was an orange box with a little curtain round the front. One thing was we were happy as we didn't owe anybody a penny and when the wages came in at the end of the week, the rent, electric, gas was taken out and then the rest went on food which wasn't much. One thing it taught me though was how to stretch the pennies knowing I couldn't overdraw in the bank etc like people seem to do nowadays. Cor don't I sound ancient. I remember my Mum talking like this.
Re: SO VERY TRUE
A great post! If someone invented a time machine I'd go & live there, with occasional holidays to 1976 and 1985!
I grew up in the 70s and it was a golden time to be a kid in hindsight. We had proper TV & radio programmes for kids, the coolest new toy crazes (space hoppers, pogo sticks, the raleigh chopper) and still safe to roam around freely outdoors. Self sufficiency was a big thing as well - John Seymour's book - I was enthralled by Survivors and the Good Life in equal measure! Felicity Kendall, yum...
At the end of the decade, just in time for me to be a teenager, there was space invaders and punk.
None of the extravagent computers & games & phones my kids go mad about come close to this. I wouldn't like to be young today!
Just pull you up on one thing though - those 60s TVs used hollow state technology and valves are horrendously inefficient users of power. The pizza-sized screen set probably used three times more power than today's 42 inch plazma - and they started a good few fires to boot !
Re: SO VERY TRUE
We didn't have a telly till 1961, so never saw the Coronation. On the other hand the telly programmes were not on all day so telly wasn't watched that much. Also telly closed down about 10-10.30. When it closed down you had the National Anthem played, then a couple of minutes after the Anthem played a mans voice came over saying don't forget to switch your telly off. Mind you the power used in the little time we watched it, it compensates for all the power thats used today.
Going back to childhood which was in the 40's I remember playing in the bombsites. Going out all day to play and coming home when hungry and making camps, one being in the middle of an enormous bush/tree. Then having a camp fire in the middle and doing jacket potatoes in the ashes. Makes you cringe when you think the tree could have gone up in a flash especially the dry summers we had. Oh memories

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

Magic and Content Marketing
Magic is one of those occupations that has a mix of lovers and haters. Some dislike feeling tricked, or not being "in the know" about how something is performed. Regardless I think there are some similarities between performing magic and the art of successful content marketing. Yes, magic is an art and so is content marketing. Here are four questions you should ask about your content marketing.
Where are your users looking?
One of the first things magicians and sleight-of-hand artists learn is the skill of misdirection. Causing your audience to watch one hand while the other hand performs the trick. Hmm, deception, how does that relate to content marketing.
Well of course we don't want to encourage deception in our writing, but there's another principle that must first be learned that is far more important than deception. The magician must know exactly where their audience is looking. They must command their audience and draw their eyes to exactly what they want them to see. As a content marketing expert you want to be so in touch with your audience that you know exactly where they are looking and what will keep them looking. You want to draw their eyes to what you want them to see.
Are you entertaining?
There's no doubt that sleight-of-hand artists are entertaining. You can't help but watch them somewhat mesmerized when they are performing a trick. You want to see every move, every split-second action. You're highly engaged and entertained. Just the same, you as a content marketing artist must make people feel entertained while they are reading what you write. It's no longer just a manual or a blog article about a new feature for a piece of software. It's an opportunity to entertain.
This means because you know where your audience is looking and because you are in touch with what interests them you can now craft a story, an intrigue, a heartbreak, or a comedy which captures their hearts and engages them in what you are sharing. You must be entertaining. You must be engaging. Your content is your stage from which you can mesmerize the world.
Are you exciting?
Magic is exciting because the user knows what to expect and yet is still fooled. They are drawn into the illusion and the magic of the moment. When you craft content marketing you have an opportunity to excite. Yes, of course the user may know what to expect and yet you can still surprise and delight them through your delivery methods. Be exciting in the sentences you construct and the words you use to deliver your message.
Content marketing is not just business. Yes, it has many real-life applications and uses. But we should never forget that our content is a way to communicate, excite others, and stir within them a passion for the thing which drives and motivates us. Your words can empower people. You can excite your audience to do more.
Are you encouraging questions?
If you've ever watched a magic show you've seen audience members shocked, amazed, entertained, and excited. Then the questions start to come out. They want to know how the trick was done. They want to know more. They want it to be performed for them again. A good artist will be at home with their audience, will encourage interaction, and will welcome the opportunity to establish a more personal interaction.
As a content marketer you want to do the same. Content marketing is about engaging with your audience; sharing relevant information and encouraging questions. Good marketers leave their audience wanting to know more and asking questions. Great content marketers not only cause their audience to ask questions but they provide answers as well. Suddenly the content has come alive and become a channel by which the writer and the audience share a bond.
Are you practicing?
One thing every magician or sleigh-of-hand artist will tell you is the importance practice plays in their success. I've heard stories of magicians practicing a single trick for thousands of hours before ever showing it to the world. They want the illusion to be perfect. They want the mystery to be captivating and the trick to be flawless.
Content writing is also a skill which must be practiced. Your words must be chosen carefully and thoughtfully and the more you practice writing beautiful sentences the better you will become. You should want your writing to be flawless. There is not a day which goes by when I don't see an imperfection a flaw, or a mistake which I could have done better in my writing. I see each day as an opportunity to practice more.
My wife laughs at me because I constantly go back, read and re-read my posts and then chagrin over how they could have been improved.
Practice your writing. Content marketing is an art which takes dedication, perseverance, and most importantly practice.
Magical Content Marketing
You can be a content marketer. You can be great at writing a thousand words a day without blinking an eye. Perhaps you are quite good at creating captivating posts. There is always room for improvements. We can all become better, hopefully these four questions playfully comparing content writing to magicians and other artists help to look lightheartedly at ways in which we can continue to improve our craft.
We are artists. We must be flawless in our execution, engaging in our delivery, exciting in our content and magical in the experience we create. Let's practice a bit more magic when performing content marketing.
Remember, we're all in this together!

I'm sure you've noticed that Rogue Bakery didn't deliver last weekend. Or maybe you didn't. But if you did, it's because someone had a wedding! And someone wanted a lot of cookies for their wedding. Why? Because the cookies are damn tasty. Also, this particular couple wasn't really into cake. So they thought "Who makes… Read More
A year ago (actually, one year and 4 days ago), Rogue Bakery made it's first delivery. Basically, a couple people ordered.

I know that a soft wood is not as resistant as the solid wood. The soft wood is a derivation of pine or cedar wood. Therefore, We need a solid wood because the soft wood can be easily shaped and carved. Solid wood furniture is made of very hard woods such as mahogany wood, cherry or maple wood.
These woods type is popular due to its strength and durability, yet it's very, very hard to create detailed shapes and fashion on its surface.
We must find out if these wood furnishings are entirely created from solid wood. In variable conditions of temperature and humidity, the timber furniture modifies its size, expanding and contracting.
The final from the pieces determines what sort of timber furniture will be in the long run and it's important to obtain a look without imperfections. Lacquering maybe the top coat in the furniture and gives beauty, waterproofing and durability.
Printing costs less compared to the veneering process and this is the reason why it is mostly used. The biggest flaw of the technique is actually the engraving or printing is exposed to solvents or water, it'll removed.
Not simply the types of materials are essential, but also the joints. The doors and drawers from the timber furniture must be easily closed and opened. In conclusion, you have each of the needed details for differentiating good wooden furniture from your mediocre one and make a good decision.
By the way, I found vouchercodesparade.co.uk site has a nCrowd Promo Codes from Devon Oak Range.
It beautifully hand crafted solid oak furniture. This stylish yet tough furnishings are created to the maximum specifications with conventional methods.
If you want to find other nCrowd Promo Codes and coupon, you can visit this site now.

We are entering the holiday season very soon. Halloween activities and parties are coming, Thanksgiving with the usual family drama, Christmas/Hanukah parties and shopping galore. Followed up by the pressure of New Year's Eve. I write this the day Mercury is about to go direct, that is always a relief. Scheduling can now commence. Plan around or for what the planets are doing to create a more fun filled and less stressful holiday time.
***My free report for October will be sent out September 30 with all the important details and dates for the month. Get it with your email signup.
Reason #1– Pick a good night for a party. Not all nights are equal, the moon will change signs and the contacts it makes to other planets are different depending on the night and time. A Saturn like halloween party will not be fun. It is obvious the weekend is the ideal time, but which weekend? and is there a weeknight that is actually astrologically better? Also, Mars joins with Pluto the month of October, better to have a party after this then before it.
Reason #2– We can't choose when to have Thanksgiving of course, but we can choose the right start time for the big dinner. If you know the planetary action happening then you'll be prepared for the type of drama or uncomfortable situation that will come up. Choose the right time and activities can go really well, choose the a bad timed much arguing can ensue. The best start time for Thanksgiving dinner this earths year is 5:30pm pacific time. If you start it before 5:30 there will be lots of conflict and good things planned won't get realized. If you start after 6:00pm or later it will just be kind of blah, okay, but not fun. 5:30pm pacific time is the perfect time that day.
Reason #3– I'm sure you know Mercury goes retrograde several times a year and that we have one more left for the year. I'll give you a hint, it's in December. That makes prepping time in December a really top notch hassle. When Mercury is retro it is a bad time to buy new things (especially tech stuff), schedule appointments with new people, start a new venture and travel. So you see how it can put a kink in the Christmas/Hanukah planning. If you want to reduce stress this holiday season and not have gifts break or have to be returned then be done buying all gifts by December 10. If you really have to shop Black Friday weekend then just shop on that Friday, not the Saturday or Sunday.
Reason #4– One of the weeks in December will have major weather. This is good to know for such things as wanting most of your guests to actually show up at your holiday party. Bad weather can be a major deterrent to go out at night. It is also a big deterrent for traveling as well. If you know what days are going to be bad, why would you travel those days and get stuck in it or stranded somewhere?
***My December free report will be sent out November 30. Get it with your email signup.
Reason #5– Lots of travel happens in December, wouldn't it be nice to know the worst days to avoid for travel? What also helps is making all your travel plans about 3-4 weeks before Mercury goes retrograde. The worst days not related to bad weather are Dec 18, 19, 20.
You too can Use Astrology to Plan Success!

At CAM Painters we love transforming the exterior of Toronto homes with lasting beauty. Here are 3 exterior ideas for your Toronto home that you might not have considered. Among them are simple ideas that will enhance the look of your home!
Exterior Idea 1: Scripted House Numbers
We've had requests for scripted house numbers. Rather than hire a sign painting artist we decided to print the scripted address in vinyl, similar to what you'd see on the side of a commercial vehicle. The installation process is very similar to wallpaper installation, so it was right up our alley! Here's the process from start to finish!
Exterior Idea 2: Paint your Front Door a Bold Colour!
A front door is a great place to introduce a hit of colour. When there is a bold colour on the front door people's eyes are attracted to it, and where their eyes are attracted they will go. So by painting your front door a bold colour you will attract people to the place you want them to go! Here are a couple of great examples of a bold front door colour:
Exterior Idea 3: Paint your vinyl or aluminum window frames
Today's paint and primers are very advanced and they will adhere on surfaces you might not have thought of. So, if your aluminum or vinyl windows are looking a little faded and tired, why don't you have us paint them? Or, if you just want a colour change and don't want to replace the windows, why don't we paint them?

Any more ideas?
These are just a few exterior ideas of the many possible things to paint and enhance your home, I'm sure you can come up with more. If you want CAM Painters to do the legwork to implement one of these ideas why don't you book a quote? We'd be happy to transform the exterior of your Toronto home with lasting beauty!

Client "X", an international fast food brand came to Luminati Waycon LTD to design and manufacture a national roll out of cookie cabinets to sit at till points in their restaurants. A thorough R&D process combined with detailed design and manufacture produced a fantastic cabinet which was designed to hold and display multiple cookies and sweet snacks.
Client "X" stated "this has been one of the smoothest new equipment roll outs they have ever had". Since launching the cabinets, cookie sales have tripled and the client is delighted with the design and execution of the project, and in particular the extremely positive effect it has had on cookie sales in the restaurant.
Following the success of the first rollout, the client has subsequently placed their order for additional rollouts, and has also asked Luminati to look at 3 more projects with the group. With the ability to provide a flawless roll out for this international client, it was certainly an all-round success story!
Keep an eye out for more Luminati Case Studies in the future! Not sure how your project fits into what we do at Luminati Design? Please get in touch so we can discuss your requirements.

TABS and VETEC Announce Joint Admissions Event
ASHEVILLE NC, USA – March 17 2013
The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) in partnership with The Vietnam Education Center (VETEC) has announced that it will be hosting a Boarding School Admissions Fair at Asiana Saigon Intercontinental Hotel on Thursday, November 7 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
Families with children ages 10 to 17, and interested in learning about university preparatory schools abroad, are invited to attend this informal FREE event. Pre-registration will open soon at BoardingSchools.com/HCMC. (Registration will also be available on-site November 7.)
Schools from Canada, USA and around the globe will be available to answer questions, offer catalogs and application information, and to generally explore the boarding school option with families. Many types of schools will be represented such as single gender and coed, military, rural and urban, junior schools, athletics and pre-professional arts, IB, a variety of religious affiliations and those specializing in learning differences.
College prep boarding schools provide unequaled academics, supported by small classes of 10 to 12 students on average and students are allowed a kind of controlled independence. Living on campus with peers promotes lifetime friendships, and provides teachable moments for mentors to reinforce the lessons of both school and life. By the time graduates arrive at the world's finest universities or their first professional job, they're fully prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of adult life.
This event is just one leg of TABS annual 9-city Admissions Tour throughout Asia. To learn more, contact Annie Lundahl at firstname.lastname@example.com or Mark Matsumoto at email@example.com

We have a window (that hinges open) on the front of our camper. Unfortunately, since it wasn't made to be mounted in the front, while driving in rain, it will let some water in. We'd rather not seal the entire window up, it's really great to have for added ventilation.
Does anybody have any ideas for building a cover to go over windows for driving? We're not sure how to go about attaching one on there, and have looked at different options, but it seems like they won't work.
Thanks for any advice!

Emperor: You gave us something new, and fresh tonight.
Mozart: So, Majesty, you liked it, you really liked it?!
Emperor: Well, of course I liked it my dear fellow. It was just that every now and then... every now and then, it had... it had... oh, how would you say it, Court Conductor?
Court Conductor: Too many notes, your Majesty.
(Amadeus, Milos Forman, 1984).
Let us be clear upfront. If our politics were not so stupid, the following proposal would not even be on the list of recommendations to create new jobs, grow the economy and reduce the deficit.
Railing against dysfunction, and only railing against it, however, condemns us to paralysis. No one on the other side is listening or, frankly, cares. Much like true psychoses often have their own internal logic, we need to understand the triggers in our political psychosis to determine if there is anything that can be done to provide some relief to the American people.
That is, we need to be street-smart. Make them an offer their paymasters will not let them refuse.
Millions of Americans need jobs. This is not just an economic imperative, but a social need as an increasing number of young adults get no chance to burnish their resumes and experience for their later lives, and near-retirement boomers have no opportunity to rebuild their nest-eggs.
As the political class perseverates on creating phony crises and lying about the country's problems, it behooves us to get the economy growing so another 3 million Americans can have jobs.
Incidentally, more Americans working means less unemployment payments, fewer people on food stamps, fewer people needing Medicaid, and more revenues from their paychecks, and a reduction in the deficit. So, even if the policy itself is less than ideal, its impact can trigger a virtuous cycle.
Businesses complain that they have ~$1.5T in profits sitting overseas that they will not "repatriate" because of taxes, and seek a tax-holiday to allow them to bring back that money. The problem is that the last time we did that not very many jobs were created. There is no reason for the American people to provide another gift to large corporations without a meaningful benefit.
So, here is the deal: For every new U.S. job created, a business gets to repatriate $1 million paying just a 10 percent tax. If they create 1 million new jobs, they repatriate $1 Trillion, and we receive $100B in revenues. (We can use FICA submissions to determine if the number of employees has increased over last year or not).
As the quid-pro-quo, we get to use that $100B to create jobs -- the American Jobs Act, an Infrastructure Bank, re-hiring teachers, police, firefighters, public health workers, whatever mix of direct hiring makes the most sense.
Adding this together, corporations will repatriate $1T (or more if they wish), with which they can do anything they wish so long as 1 million jobs are created to enable them to take that credit. The 10 percent tax on the income provides $100B to fund new jobs. The American Jobs Act alone is estimated to produce 1.9 million new jobs that, when added to the 1 million jobs the repatriation provision provides, gets us nearly 3 million new jobs.
It has not added one dime to the deficit, and all the provisions are short-term. Republicans get to serve their corporate paymasters, providing them $900,000 after taxes to buy back their own stock, give out as dividends or pay for corporate jets. Out of that $900,000 will also come the new worker's salary and benefits, but that is not likely to average even $100,000, and that, of course, is deductible as an expense before taxes anyhow.
The American people get 3 million new jobs, and a deficit that quietly reduces itself while the political class continues to yammer about nothingness.
This is not great economic policy. Some of those new jobs would have been created anyhow.
But, so what? In the era of stupid, the country needs some street-smarts.

Trekking Everest Base Camp
Trekking to Everest Base Camp has long been at the top of many people's bucket lists, and now is the perfect time for you to help Nepal's tourist industry get back on track. Join other Solo Travellers on this amazing 2-week adventure, trekking through the stunning Nepalese Himalayas. A flight from Kathmandu will offer magnificent views of the vast mountain range for where you are destined. Your adventure will start as soon as you land in Lukla, trekking through the mountains and valleys until you reach your goal; Everest Base Camp.
Price from: £999.00
5 Nov 2018 – 19 Nov 2018
18 Apr 2019 – 2 May 2019
Day 1 – Arrive Kathmandu
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, proceed to your hotel for check-in. After you have freshened up, you will be given a talk about the trek and given any help you might need organising your trekking gear. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Day 2 – Kathmandu / Lukla / Phakding
Today you will catch a very early flight (around 6.30am) to Lukla. If the weather is good, the views of the Himalayas from the small plane are amazing. After breakfast in Lukla (2810m) you will be given a short safety talk and be introduced to the porters and other staff. You will then get geared up and start the trek. Today's walk will be fairly gentle, following the Dudh Kosi River approximately 3-hours to Phakding.
Day 3 – Phakding / Namche Bazaar
Today you will be trekking for roughly 6.5 hours. After breakfast at Phakding you will continue trekking along the river until you stop for lunch. After lunch it is a gentle walk until the final suspension bridge, at which point you will notice the altitude as you begin to climb. Today you will have your first glimpse of Mount Everest and this will be your last opportunity to check your equipment and hire any additional gear. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
Day 4 – Namche Bazaar
Today is an acclimatisation day, so you will be staying in Namche Bazaar and visiting the local museum and surrounding village. The best way to acclimatise yourself is to take a strenuous walk up to a high altitude and then come back down and sleep. No matter how fit you are, altitude sickness can affect anyone, so make sure you chat to your doctor or travel nurse about possible affects before you leave. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
Day 5 – Namche Bazaar / Tengboche
Today you will be trekking for roughly 6 hours. Today's trail offers stunning views of Everest, Lotse, Nuptse, Amadablam, and Thamserku mountains until you reach the holy ground of Tangboche with its wonderful monastery. The monastery opens at 3pm, inside you will find wall hangings, musical instruments and robes of Lamas, as well as a 20ft sculpture of Lord Buddha. Overnight in Tengboche.
Day 6 – Tengboche / Dingboche
Today you will be trekking for around 6 hours. From Tengboche, you will follow the valley, passing through the village of Pangboche, which has one of the oldest monasteries in the Khumbu region. From now on you are really in high altitude; barley is the only crop which grows up here. You will walk to the picturesque summer village of Dingboche, where you will overnight.
Day 7 – Dingboche
Today is another acclimatisation day. You will take a hike to Nagarstang Hill, climbing about 300m from Dingboche, and back before lunch and free time in the afternoon to rest. Overnight in Dingboche.
Day 8 – Dingboche / Labuche
The trek to Labuche takes roughly 5 hours. Today you will have views of the Khumbu icefall and pass by frozen rivers where stone houses sit in an icy wilderness of stunning beauty. Overnight in Labuche.
Day 9 – Labuche / Everest Base Camp / Gorakshep
From Labuche you will start early and get to Gorakshep for an early lunch. Then you will head up to Everest Base Camp. After spending some time up here you will return to your lodge at Gorakshep (5180m). Here you have incredible views of the Himalayas. Overnight in Gorakshep.
Day 10 – Gorakshep / Kalapathar / Orsho
Today you will make the steady climb to the summit of Kalapathar (5550m). Most people who are fit and have acclimatised without any problems make this ascent. The views from Kalapathar are breathtaking – far better than the views from basecamp. After descending from the peak, continue the descent to Orsho (4100m). Overnight in Orsho.
Day 11 – Orsho / Namche Bazaar
Today you will descend through Imja Valley and a much greener landscape to reach Pangboche. Continue on to Phungithanga along a beautiful path, high above the Dudh Kosi river, eventually arriving back in Namche Bazaar where you will overnight. Today's walking will be around 8 hours.
Day 12 – Namche Bazaar / Phakding
Today will start later than normal and you will have time to chill out and buy any souvenirs you might want. From Namche the path descends steeply down to the Dudh Kosi river which you will cross via a high bridge. Walking through Jorsale and Monjo, where the national park entrance is, you will reach Phakding. Today you will be walking for around 5 hours.
Day 13 – Phakding / Lukla
This morning you will be trekking to Lukla after breakfast which will take around 3 hours. You will spend your last night here with the group before flying back to Kathmandu in the morning.
Day 14 – Lukla / Kathmandu
Take a flight from Lukla to Kathmandu, where you will have the day at your leisure for sightseeing, shopping, and mostly likely relaxing!
Day 15 – Depart Kathmandu
Today you will be transferred back to Tribhuvan Airport for international flights home.

Hong Kong's SFC said to survey participants on investor codes
[HONG KONG] Hong Kong's financial regulator is moving forward with its project for real-time identification of the investors behind every trade, with an initial survey of market participants about the plan to assign see-through codes under way, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The Securities and Futures Commission is discussing with brokerages the design of the proposed ID codes and the degree of their disclosures to the market before having a public consultation period, the final step before implementation, in the second half of the year, the people said. The introduction of the new system is still at least a year away, they said.
The purpose of the codes is to facilitate so-called see-through market oversight that allows regulators to trace trades beyond the broker to the investor who provided the funds.
That would help to more efficiently detect and deter manipulation, Keith Lui, executive director for market supervision at the SFC, said earlier this year. The agency, which currently can track live trading only to the brokers, would be able to react more quickly to market disruptions, such as the two-minute plunge and recovery in Chinese stock futures in Hong Kong on Monday.
Global regulators have been working to improve market surveillance to avoid events like the US flash crash in May 2010 and catch rogue traders. The SFC, which already can order brokers to reveal information about questionable trades, has been reviewing the US securities watchdog's plan to enhance its ability to scrutinize markets, as well as examining markets in China, Malaysia and South Korea, which use see-through records, Mr Lui said in an interview in February.
Mr Lui didn't specify how the ID codes would be assigned, or whether the new system would be similar to mainland China's, where regulators assign identifiers to investors, or to Australia's, where brokers provide acronyms for their clients, which can be seen by the local watchdog. Some brokers are worried that the added layer of regulation may damage the city's appeal to investors.
"It's just one more complication for people to trade," said Andrew Sullivan, managing director for sales trading at Haitong International Securities Group in Hong Kong.
"It's a retrograde step. It's more unnecessary policing. I can't see any benefit of it." A spokesman for the SFC declined to comment.
Some brokers have been asking the regulator about the disclosure of trading data and whether exchange participants would be able to see investors' real-time orders. This could increase impact costs for large investors, because the market may turn against them when a big order is traded.
Risk of exposure for investors would be less if orders reported at the end of the day or could be only seen by the SFC.
The introduction of investor see-through ID codes would make Hong Kong market surveillance similar to the system in China, where the regulator can monitor investors' trading in real time, said Francis Lun, chief executive officer at Geo Securities Ltd in Hong Kong.
That would give the government too much information about investors' strategies and the ability to interfere in the market, he said. China last year banned some major shareholders from selling stocks for six months during the US$5 trillion equity selloff.
"I don't want the government to know my every single move when I buy or sell shares," Mr Lun said. "It's a matter of privacy and freedom of investment."

Troopers: Thief Used Machete in Burglary Attempt
TURBOT TOWNSHIP – A man is in custody after he tried to break into a home in Northumberland County with a machete, according to state police.
Investigators said the burglar caused about $100 in damage with a machete, trying to break into a home on Golf Course Road in Turbot Township around 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Troopers said he was taken to a hospital for treatment and will be arraigned when released.
A previous version of this story indicated that the homeowner was the person involved in the burglary. That was incorrect.
