"Scramble is On" to Save a Marin, CA Pedestrian CrossingBy
Mary Lauran Hall
on January 17, 2013 Advocacy Advance, the collaborative advocacy team composed of staff from the League of American Bicyclists and the Alliance for Biking & Walking, recently awarded a series of Rapid Response Grants. These quick-turnaround grants help state and local advocacy organizations take advantage of unexpected opportunities to win, increase, or preserve funding for biking and walking. In this series of blog posts, we talk with recipients of the grants about their advocacy campaigns. Without a safe crossing, a highway can turn a perfectly nice walk or bike ride into a dead end. So when a transportation agency decided to take out a bike and pedestrian crossing over the busy 101 freeway in Marin County, CA, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition had to get involved. This pedestrian flyover in the "Twin Cities" of Larkspur and Corte Madera in Marin County, CA provides a safe, accessible way for people biking and walking to cross Highway 101. But as part of a new interchange project, the Transportation Authority of Marin proposes tearing down the crossing, requiring instead that people walking and riding bikes use a highly congested and far more dangerous undercrossing. "They're going to reroute pedestrian crossing to an existing undercrossing," explained Andy Peri, Advocacy Director of MCBC. "When they finish construction, the undercrossing will have several freeway onramps and offramps intersecting it that pedestrians will need to cross. In terms of safety, there is no comparison with having a completely separate-from-cars overcrossing." For the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, that's an unacceptable solution. The undercrossing would require children and elderly residents to navigate multiple surface streets, onramps and off-ramps in order to get across the freeway. "MCBC doesn't support any projects that create an impediment or a total barrier for people to walk and bike," Andy said.
Now, Andy and fellow Marin advocates are asking the county to replace the existing crossing with an equally accessible overpass. "The scramble is on," said Andy. The Coalition created an online petition for the campaign to garner public support. "Using signatures from petitions for campaigns that dated back to 2006, we assembled a database with about 5200 names," said Andy. "From that list, we've now gotten over 1,000 signatures on this current petition in less than a month — a 20% return rate." The petition demonstrates public support, a boon when the Coalition approaches local elected officials to discuss the project. The Coalition also sends updates to petition-signers with updates about the campaign information about how to help. Advocates have met with officials on the 16-member Transportation Authority of Marin agency to explain the importance of a safe crossing, and the Coalition expects to drive a strong turn-out to a public hearing scheduled for later this month. The Advocacy Advance rapid response grant helps keep the campaign going. "The grant primarily support our staff team, but also pays for the tools that we use, including Survey Monkey for the petition and Constant Contact for our email to members," Andy explained. "This campaign is going to continue on for up to 6 months at a very high level." "Until I get the answer that I want from the Transportation Authority board, we are going to continue to push for a safe crossing of Highway 101" he said.

Five Winter Cocktails to Try Around Town
Though we've hardly earned it this particular winter–how about this weather, huh?–this is traditionally a season for hot toddies, brown liquors, and dark, spicy digestifs. Also, we're in the height of the season for citrus, the varieties and beauty of which other parts of the country never see, and cocktails provide an excellent vehicle for fresh tangerines, Cara Caras, and blood oranges. Below are a few of our recent favorites.
The Devil's Tooth at West of Pecos
Barman Brent Butler is a talented dude with a sophisticated palate, and over the last year, he's redone the drink list at West of Pecos to make it a bar befitting the snootiest of cocktail geeks, and ardent margarita fans alike. Our favorite libation of his on the winter menu is this single-barrel bourbon concoction with fresh tangerine juice, vermouth, vanilla, and bitters. It's tangy, sweet, balanced, and you'll probably want at least two of them.
The Meridian at Blackbird
Apples may be slightly out of season, but when they were at their peak, bartender Matt Grippo made an apple shrub that's used in this delicious, wintry drink. It features Lunazul Reposado tequila, Amaro Ciociaro, and black walnut bitters. It's a little sweet, a little fruity, and layered with a bit of chocolate, caramel apple, and spice. It's yet another reason why Blackbird has become one of the most interesting cocktail bars in town.
The English Redo '22 at Brasserie S&P
This hybrid of a Pimm's Cup and Blood and Sand from the very clever Priscilla Young features Charbay Blood Orange Vodka paired with freshly squeezed farmer's market blood oranges, as well as Bergamot sour oranges, Eureka lemons, Pimm's No.1, Drambuie 15 year, and Sensei Dried Italian Chili Falernum. It's just the tiniest bit spicy behind all that awesome citrus, and it's probably the most complex drink on this list despite being vodka-based.
The Cojiba Calientita (Warm Blanket) at Azucar Lounge
Here's a hot toddy that's a lovely variation on the age-old form. It's got Lexington bourbon, tamarind, lemon, and house herbs and spices, and it's served warm with the aid of hot water. Perfect for a cold night, of which we've had several between our sunny days.
The Night Moves at Trick Dog
This spin on an Irish coffee gets props for originality. It's a mixture of Black Grouse scotch, cold-brewed chicory coffee, curry, brown sugar, and cream. It's served cold, over ice, and it's far better than the sum of its parts.

Lock screen Question
So I really like the ability to go straight to texts or camera from the lock screen, but I was wondering if there is a way to be able to do that and have the pattern lock come up afterwards. If I can do it through my RAZR's settings that'd be cool, but if you know an app that can do the same it would be just as great.

Re: Lock screen Question
So instead of just doing to pattern t go straight to home, I would like to be able to use the unlock screen that you can unlock to the home, camera, text, or phone screen but still have it ask for the pattern lock.
I apologize for this late response.

A drunken bartender has the audacity to tell Jon Taffer that he can't enter a bar because he's not a member. This is just the tip of the iceberg with problems at KC's Bar & Grill.
The staff completely falls apart during the stress test at KC's Bar & Grill. The bartenders don't know how to make drinks, and there is no system in place to get food out. Taffer has his work cut out for him.
In order to fit the needs of this members-only bar in Kansas, Chef Tiffany Derry comes up with the perfect concept: a classy buffet. This combines high-end food with the reduced wait time seen at buffets.
Our professional mixologist teaches the staff to make The Dotted Line.
Our professional Mixologist teaches the staff to make the Rob Burgundy.
Our professional Mixologist teach the staff to make the Members Only.
During the recon session in this Kansas bar, Jon Taffer and his experts notice several unacceptable factors. Among them are drunk owners, dissident bartenders, and even a raccoon.
If you are a bartender that doesn't know how to make a simple martini, you should reconsider your career path. Also, Taffer and his experts witness a very rare sight: the "one minute chew."
The night after an owner goes on a drunken tirade, Jon Taffer confronts the staff and holds all accountable for their actions.
If this bar has any chance of surviving, the change needs to start with the owners and trickle down. Jon Taffer has a meeting with the owners, and gives them the brand of tough mentoring that only he can. Will it work?

Nikita Filatov, who was loaned to CSKA Moscow by the Columbus Blue Jackets, keeps on doing great in the KHL. He played 4 games so far and amassed 8 points, scoring 4 goals and giving 4 assists. Filatov also managed to set a new KHL record, scoring 3 game-winning goals in 3 matches in a row.
RussianHockeyFans.com offers you a translation of his interview published by Sovetskiy Sport, which he gave after yesterday's game against Spartak.
- One can see that now you are playing as if you had wings on your back. Is it because you don't have to focus so much on defence in CSKA as you had to in Columbus?
- Yes, it is. But I wouldn't say that I spend all my time in the offensive zone, I don't forget about the defence too. The defence was the only thing I had been thinking about in the NHL for 1.5 years...- But nevertheless you intend to return to the NHL next year. What can CSKA do to make you stay?
- The one thing I'm not thinking about right now is where I will spend next year. But I wouldn't exclude the possibility of staying in CSKA.
A few days before Filatov wrote in his conference on allhockey.ru, answering if there was a chance of him staying in Russia after this season:
I highly doubt it. But Ken Hitchkok can really help it.

Lake Bratan is a good size and at 1200 m. above sea level, feeds much of central Bali with fresh water. Driving over the mountains involved a lot of slow, …

Lovina is a nice quiet place in the North of Bali where the French seem to flock. It is made up of 7 villages, the most touristy one being Kalibukbuk where there is a "town center" i.e. a 3 block radius with 3 mini marts, some restaurants and massage places.

When we bought a bus ticket from Ubud to Lovina we had several hotels written down and were just going to cruise around and try to find the best deal. Suma was on our list and it so happened that they dropped us off there.
The reception guy started taking us to a room and we quickly let him know we were nearing the end of our trip and very low on money, we wanted to know how much the cheapest room they had was. He replied 150,000ird and we went to leave, he lowered it to 100,000 so we agreed to check out the room. It was fine, mosquito net, double bed, private bath- although we had drainage issues to our bathroom was a puddle most of the time, though the toilet is on a raised platform so we didn't care, cold water, and breakfast included. They also had a huge nice pool and wifi, although the wifi was pretty shitty. Breakfast though, that was great. Several choices of eggs, omlette with ham and onions, or nasi goreng, choice of coffee or tea, comes with 2 pieces of toast, butter and jam as well as juice and fruit. After paying 100,000 in Kuta and getting worse internet and just 2 pieces of toast, gross jam and lard for breakfast, this was quite the step up.
It's right on the beach, although the beach in that area is pretty trashy and has a lot of hawkers on it. Very pushy.. This place was great for the price we payed but I wouldn't want to pay much more. The staff is nice but pretty pushy about booking trips through them. Which by the way, do not do, it's much cheaper other places, just walk around and ask.

Where everyone has a voice
Published: Jan. 20, 2010
Updated: Aug. 4, 2011
Laryngeal cancer is not as well known by the general public as other types of cancer, yet it is not rare. The American Cancer Society's 2009 estimates (most recent data) for the U.S. population include 12,290 new cases of laryngeal cancer and 3,660 deaths as a result of laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer impacts the voice, breathing, and swallowing.
If you have one or more risk factors for laryngeal cancer and have any of the above symptoms, see an otolaryngologist.
An otolaryngologist (ENT doctor and surgeon) will evaluate you by performing a thorough head and neck exam and laryngoscopy. If needed, a head/neck CT scan may be performed.
A biopsy (removing a small sample of tissue to check for cancerous or pre-cancerous cells) may also be performed. Once your doctor knows the nature of the problem, a treatment plan can be made.
Depending of the nature of the laryngeal cancer, a number of treatment options may be provided. The treatment of laryngeal cancer often involves a team approach to design the most appropriate treatment and to rehabilitate the voice and swallowing.
Your physician will inform you how many different treatment options are available to treat your specific condition. The primary treatment options for laryngeal cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.
You may also see a speech pathologist, who can address voice and swallowing difficulties related to the cancer or the side effects from these treatments.
Remember that this is a preventable disease in the vast majority of cases, because the main risk factors are associated with modifiable behaviors. This disease is often considered curable if caught early enough.
Many treatment options are available to help you quit. Even if you've tried in the past, you may not have tried some of the newer and more successful options.
Your doctor may prescribe a medication which can help you stop. There are also other alternative options such as hypnosis and acupuncture, which help many patients.

Fallen Marine Honored in Byron Ceremony
Posted: 4:15 PM Nov 10, 2012
Reporter: Landon Cassman
Hundreds gather in a Byron cemetery this morning to honor one hometown hero who lost his life fighting for our country.
A monument in the Byron Cemetery was dedicated to Lance Corporal Alec Catherwood today in a ceremony attended by more than 200 people.
Catherwood was killed in action in Afghanistan two years ago. The memorial is a collaborative effort by the city and high school to honor Catherwood and all those who lost their lives serving in the military.
"We hope people remember Alec, as well as all veterans, as somebody who felt they did what they had to do for the country they believed in and loved," said Alec Catherwood's mother Gretchen. "And nobody could have talked Alec out of joining, and nobody tried. And I wouldn't do it now."
"We wanted a way as a community to say thank you back to them," said ceremony organizer Jerry Oleson. "You know, we don't want to wait too long, and keep reminiscing the grieving process for them, but the timing was perfect. They haven't moved on and we didn't want to make them think they were forgotten."
The monument was designed by the Byron High School landscape class, and funded by donations.

Standard Health Questionnaire
The Standard Health Questionnaire (SHQ) (www.wship.org) (PDF, 747KB) is part of the application you receive when you apply to buy individual health insurance in Washington state. Insurers use the SHQ to determine if you qualify for coverage.
The SHQ is a list of health conditions and each condition has a score value.
Note: Before you apply for health insurance, you can look up your score (www.wship.org) (PDF, 35KB).
How to take the SHQ
When you fill out the SHQ, you must mark "yes" beside any health conditions you have.
After you turn in your application, the insurance company adds up your "yes" responses to get your score. If your score is:
- 324 or below, the company will give you insurance.
- 325 or above, the company may deny you coverage and tell you about other health insurance options.
Do I have to take the SHQ when I apply for individual health insurance?
Yes, unless you qualify for an exemption. Page 2 of the SHQ (www.wship.org) (PDF, 163KB) lists the exemptions.
If you qualify for an exemption (about 25 percent of people qualify) you do not complete the health questionnaire and you may apply to the health carrier without completing it. The insurance company will ask you for information to prove you qualify for the exemption.

Published: Oct. 17, 2006
Updated: Oct. 28, 2010
At the age of 33, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile was young, fit, and had just passed a physical and EKG. So--though he had a family history of heart disease--Kile's sudden death in June 2002 from a heart attack came as a shock to his family, colleagues, and fans alike. As the Washington Post wrote shortly afterward, Kile's case exemplified "one of the biggest frustrations in cardiology": the fact that for an unlucky quarter-million Americans each year, a fatal heart attack will be their first and only clear symptom of heart disease.
A new diagnostic technology being studied at Duke may soon change that: cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or cardiovascular MRI. The technology can detect tiny areas of tissue damaged by transient, undiagnosed heart attacks that standard imaging techniques cannot. Sometimes called "silent" heart attacks, these events may be symptomless, or masquerade as a cold or other seemingly unrelated symptom.
In a study of patients with cardiac risk factors but no history of heart attack, Duke cardiologist Raymond Kim, MD, and biomedical engineer Robert Judd, PhD, discovered that a third of them did show evidence of heart attack with MRI. A subsequent study by the team found that the traditional nuclear imaging technique--single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT-- detected only 53 percent of the microinfarcts (the medical term for the subtle tissue damage caused by these transient "mini" heart attacks) that were detected by cardiac MRI. In fact, when used alone, SPECT completely missed previously diagnosed microinfarcts in 13 percent of the study patients.
"Unlike risk factor measures such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, this is actual, direct evidence of cell death from heart disease," says Kim. "If you have one of these events, we believe your risk for having another heart attack is quite high, and you should probably be evaluated and treated as if you've already had a noticeable heart attack."
Duke is home to one of the country's first and only centers dedicated to cardiovascular MRI. At the heart of the Duke Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Center (DCMRC) are two state-of-the-art MRI scanners ($2.6 million each) specially designed to capture images of the heart. MRI shows details of heart structure, function, and blood flow with unrivalled crispness--and, unlike the more standard imaging technology, echocardiography, it can view the heart from any angle, without interference from bone, lung, or air.
Magnetic resonance imaging has been a staple of medical diagnostics since the late 1970s. During an MRI examination, which is non-invasive and radiation-free, a patient is guided through the cavity of a large doughnut-shaped magnet. The magnet causes hydrogen nuclei in cells to give off characteristic signals, which are then converted into three-dimensional images of the heart and its structures. The technology uses powerful magnets that cause hydrogen nuclei within the body's molecules to vibrate or resonate, emitting radiofrequency energy. Even tiny differences in tissue change the rates at which this energy is emitted. The MRI machine detects these energy emissions and converts them into visible images, making it possible to see and evaluate many conditions, including very early stages of disease that were previously difficult or impossible to identify.
Despite the powerful benefits it offers other medical specialties, the use of MRI in cardiovascular medicine was limited by the technical difficulties of capturing a clear image of a beating heart. Over the past few years, however, a new form of high-speed MRI has been developed, allowing images of the heart to be captured in real time. Displaying the function, structure, and blood flow of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, these images facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac health. Cardiovascular MRI offers significant advantages over other imaging methods. It produces remarkably clear, complete, and detailed three-dimensional images of cardiac anatomy without interference from adjacent bone or air.
Those images can be used to accomplish a broad variety of diagnostic tasks. Cardiovascular MRI can identify damage from a heart attack, diagnose certain congenital cardiovascular defects, and evaluate disease of the larger cardiac blood vessels. It can be used to perform a real-time, minimally invasive stress test or to evaluate how well a heart is responding to treatment. All parts of the cardiovascular system can be imaged, making MRI especially useful in complex cases. The technique can be combined with other studies to help physicians predict which areas of the heart will respond best to bypass surgery, angioplasty, or revascularization. And MRI is as benign to the patient as it is powerful for physicians: Unlike most other non-invasive cardiac imaging tests, MRI does not expose the patient to potentially harmful radiation.
Its unique attributes make MRI especially valuable in evaluating congenital heart disease in both adults and children. "You can see things you can't see with echocardiography," says Stephen Sanders, MD, chief of pediatric cardiology. "It has a remarkable potential for use in young children, allowing us to image abnormal arteries in a painless, non-invasive way."
Duke cardiologist Eric Velazquez, MD, head of the Cardiac Diagnostic Unit, has turned to MRI numerous times to help him target treatments for patients. "Echo provides good general information, but the data it offers may not be sufficient," he says. "MRI is more specific, allowing you to quantify exactly how big the heart is, how thick the walls are, and whether there is evidence of irreversible damage. That information improves our ability to make the right clinical decisions."
And that's just the beginning. Soon, researchers think, MRI could be used to guide minimally invasive surgeries, replace many current techniques that are invasive or involve radiation, and perhaps even detect imminent heart attacks.
Says Judd, who co-directs the DCMRC with Kim, "The idea behind this center is to advance the field by improving cardiovascular imaging techniques, educating physicians about when MRI can be helpful, and making available those clinical applications that are ready for prime time."

Cedar Rapids Weather
Resetting The Big Ten's DivisionsBy Marc Morehouse, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa - While America watched a dazzling display of detective work and tactics from the Boston Police Department on Friday night -- I was awed and amazed how quickly the FBI and Boston police closed in, truly incredible -- the Big Ten let the news slip out.
Let's digest. According to ESPN.com (Adam Rittenberg and Brett McMurphy), the Big Ten will split into geographical divisions (East and West). -- Purdue will be slid into the West, with Indiana staying in East. (That didn't surprise me because of Indiana basketball. Why? It's competitive and the Big Ten is growing this east coast thing with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers.) -- East and West will be the names of the divisions. Your "Legends and Leaders" T-shirts will be relics starting in 2014. -- The six teams in the central time zone -- Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern and Wisconsin -- along with Purdue will be the West division. The East will be Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. -- This is all pending approval from the league's presidents and chancellors. That vote will happen this week, according to Rittenberg. -- Rittenberg and the ESPN Big Ten blog reported last month that the only protected crossover from the divisions will be Indiana-Purdue. No more forced phony baloney ("OMHR" from the BHGP). -- Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez told CBSsports.com that they are expected to approve a move to a nine-game conference schedule beginning in the 2016 season. (We've been Alvarez'd, yet again.) "Legends and Leaders" valid for 2013. The eight-game league schedule remain for three more seasons. You remember Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany preaching competitive balance when the Big Ten did this for the 2011 season. Where was that this time around? In my opinion, the effort for competitive balance fell away for a couple of reasons: 1) Ohio State and Michigan are the big dogs and they demanded to be fed, meaning give us more Michigan State, Penn State and each other over middle-tier Big Ten. So, an Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue will play at an Ohio State, based on average and at the most, three times in 12 years. And that's at most. Compare that to the six times in 12 years that Penn State and Michigan State will travel into Columbus. Does Iowa belong in that foursome? Not the Orange Bowl and the 2002 to 2010 Iowa, but the Iowa from the last two seasons? BTW, the math breakdown is two East-West teams will face each other six times in 12 years. Four teams will face each other five times in 12. The West teams will face Indiana four times in 12. That's "at most" and "on average." 2) Rivalry routed competitive balance in this round. The short view could not have been summed up better than in this tweet from @AnthonySLong: Every year from now until the Big Ten gets bored with this, the Hawkeyes will face five schools (Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwestern) that border the state. Competitive balance? There certainly is danger here. The Big Ten has four historic blue bloods in Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State. Three of those will call the east home beginning in 2014. I still think this can work and be competitive. Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa and Northwestern will keep each other honest. They'll also keep each other relatively close. Nebraska might have a slight edge in the majesty of its following and facilities, but the others are quickly catching up. In the east, you'll have Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State. PSU is currently a ceremonial program. There is a lot of pressure on Michigan State to hold up its end of the deal. In the west, the onus is on Iowa and Northwestern. Nebraska is Nebraska. It won't allow another Steve Pederson-Bill Callahan debacle. They've had that disaster at Nebraska and now they know what to do or not do. Wisconsin has played in five Rose Bowls in the last 20 years. Iowa and Northwestern have combined to play in one Rose Bowl in the last 20 years. Iowa and Northwestern have done and still do great things on the field. The Wildcats snapped a 63-year bowl victory drought last season. They also have one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in the conference in QB Kain Colter. There's also buzz surrounding the indoor facility that is scheduled to be built on Lake Michigan. Iowa won the Orange Bowl in 2009. Iowa played for the Rose Bowl at Ohio State in '09. In '10, Iowa was a great team that last its way after a 1-point loss to Wisconsin at Kinnick Stadium. J.J. Watt blocked a PAT in that game. That was the margin for error. Iowa is 14-17 since that loss, including last season's 4-8. Iowa is going to have to pick it up. It's going to have to hold up its end of the bargain. The Big Ten is a much more interesting place with "Bullies of the Big Ten" Iowa rather than the 4-8 high-wire act that showed up last fall.

Online dating? What's the worst that could happen? Well, apparently, you could find yourself trapped in an old house at the mercy of a pair of aging right-wing revolutionaries turned sadists with a penchant for torturing young women with decaying dynamite and buckets of nitroglycerin. Prolific low-budget horror maestro Bogliano serves up a stylish slice of extreme genre cinema, which also alludes to the troubled state of generational politics in his homeland.

Roque goes from young Lothario to activist and general rabble-rouser in this cleverly plotted parable revealing the underbelly of Argentinian politics. Set at the University of Buenos Aires, the heady mix of sex, intellectualism and shady ploys that would make Richard Nixon smile, soon become all too real and Roque finds that he's in way over his head. With nuanced performances and dynamic pacing, Santiago Mitre's debut feature has earned comparisons to Truffaut, Godard and Alexander Payne.

In Julia Leigh's unsettling take on the classic tale, the beauty is Lucy (Emily Browning), a young woman who begins working at a niche job in the sex industry in order to pay for her education. Drugged and placed in a "sleeping beauty chamber", Lucy becomes the play thing of paying customers, where almost anything is permissible.

Based on true events, this skillfully crafted psychological thriller centers on 16-year-old Jamie, who lives in a squalid, crime-ridden slum on the outskirts of Adelaide.

But as Bunting's behavior becomes increasingly sinister, Jamie finds himself caught up in horrors he could never have imagined as he realizes his new father-figure is actually a cold-blooded serial killer.

While troubling to use subtle and pedophilia in the same sentence, there's no better way to describe this matter-of-fact story of a man who keeps a young boy locked in his basement. The horrors of unseen sexual abuse merge with the banal cues of modern domestic life as this understated film carefully plots its twists and turns. The film forgoes explicit visuals in exchange for an ending that you won't forget.

Deception and irony fuel this World War II-set comedy. Victor Kauffman, the son of a wealthy Jewish gallery owner, and Rudi are lifelong friends. When Rudi returns to Vienna from Germany as an S.S. officer in the Third Reich, the Kaufmanns don't just have their own safety to worry about. A rare, long lost Michelangelo drawing the family has secretly held for centuries has become the most desired object of Adolf Hitler, and a comedy of errors ensues as the two old friends find themselves trying to outwit the other in a race to track down the work of art.
