Bomber into stwndard pint.
A: clear honey gold color. A half inch of white head that fell to a sparse cap with a thick ring around the glass.
S: pretty standard ipa nose. Grassy with a little bit of fruit. A slight tropical note but mostly citrusy. Maybe pineapple in there. A little bit of the malt body.
T: runs the gambit of ipa flavors. Grassy floral hop that leaves a pleasant bitter on the palate. Not overpowering. The malt body is well hidden.
M: lighter than it should be as far as body goes. Kinda slick actually. Feels a little oily.
O: typical NWIPA less agressive than other ipa from Eugene OR, for that I am glad.

Oakshire Brewing Watershed IPA, 2010
Pour is a nice pale golden color. The head is about a index finger thick and is a nice white color with a creamy consistency. Smell a lot of citrus fruits including oranges, lemons, and also some sweet fruits like mangos and peaches. There is a strong presence of bitter hops on the nose as well. Beer taste is very floral. Not as bitter as expected but the body is very lovely. It hangs on the tongue for quite some time and the back end of each each drink is very impressive. The head remains throughout the drinking process and has very impressive retention. This beer is definitely worth a try.

12 oz can. Pours clear straw gold with a small frothy white head that goes to a thin film and laces the glass.
The aroma is subdued - stinky and metallic hops.
The flavor is subdued - some resiny hops that have decent bitterness. The mouthfeel is light bodied and kind of watery.
Overall, I liked this better on tap. The can is watery and subdued with not a lot of flavor.

Bottle provided by slasher007.
Light orange color with a small white head. The first thing that hits you in the aroma is hops. This is definitely a West Coast IPA. The predominant hop aroma is grapefruit. Taste is slightly fruity with citrus and grapefruit and then the bitterness hits you. The aftertaste is heavy on the grapefruit. This is a very drinkable IPA with no noticeable alcohol. I had never heard of this brewery but will definitely seek out other beers from them after being impressed by this beer.

Can purchased in Waterbury, VT. Served in a Unibroue snifter.
A: Hazy orange color with a sticky medium head... the classic look.
S: Earthy, herbal and citrusy hops with a touch of pine, some crystal malt. A little alcohol as it warms. Aroma is subdued for the style.
T: Grassy, herbal piney hops and sweet malt. Hop flavor is a little weak for the style and the firm hop bitterness just reinforces the relative lack of flavor.
M: Medium carbonation and body. A hint of alcohol. Clean bitter finish.
O: Not bad but nothing special. Could definitely use more flavor and aroma hopping, and maybe a smidgen less crystal malt. This reminds me of the dreaded 'east coast IPA' of 15 years ago, back when there actually was a difference. It's nice to have a decent IPA in cans and I might drink quite a bit of this outdoors if I was local. Given the 3000 mile trip it must take to me and the associated price premium, plus the abundance of good canned IPA's in New England, I probably won't be buying a lot of this but I'm glad for the opportunity to try it.

Copper and orange colored pour, good near 1" head on it, predominantly white in color, small bubbles. Very bitter aroma, but not dropping a lot of citrus, pine or tropical fruit notes to it. Just bitter. Sweet malt.
Taste, very bitter, but again, easily establishes itself as something far from an elite level ipa. All bitterness, little flavor. Tweekers are looking at this wondering how much copper wire they can strip out of it. Lots of sticky caramel malt to it, thankfully, not heavy, but not really working with the high bitterness that lacked any decent amount of dry hopping, or at least never used any aroma or proprietary hops. They went old school with C hops I suspect, which can make a damn good ipa, but it needs a kick up on the mouthfeel, taste and aroma.
Found this one to be way too bitter and astringent without supplying much in the way of taste. Too many superior options out there.

12 oz can served cold into a shaker pint glass.
Watershed IPA is a pale golden color with surprisingly good clarity for the style. It has about an inch of head and settles fairly fast. Some lacing is left behind.
Aroma is pleasantly fresh and hoppy with a nice blend of pacific nw hops and the citrusy west coast varieties.
Flavor is bitter but well judged for an IPA. Malts are there to support the hops with just enough sweetness. Hops provide fresh orange zest and pine notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated with good IPA balance.
Overall a very solid version of the style. Not sure why it doesn't get the love on BA.

22 oz. bomber poured into a straight pint glass.
A: The beer poured an orange color with a small head of foam that broke down to a thin cap covering the surface. Very heavy lacing clung to the side of the glass, but it quickly vanished.
S: The initial aroma is that of freshly cut grass along with more subtle notes of lemon, orange peel and pine.
T: The first flavor that I can detect is bitter lemongrass, almost like green tea in nature. I also notice some orange peel and pine, but the grassy flavor is very dominant. There's a bit of caramel malt, but it's drown out by the dry grassy wallop.
M: Watershed has a very dry mouth feel with some pleasant bitterness. The alcohol is masked very well.
O: This is my first offering from Oakshire, it's very nice. The grass flavor is noticeable in other IPAs, but this is the first one I've had where it's very front-forward and the dominant flavor.

Poured from the 22oz bottle into a pint glass. Body is a pretty cloudy golden-orange color with lots of suspended hop particles. A half-finger's worth of creamy white head lasts for about a minute before receding to a thin, creamy ring. Aroma of light, biscuity malt and a big, citrusy hop profile that's big on notes of orange juice and grass. with a hint of cannabis.
Palate is well-balanced between mildly sweet biscuit malt and citrusy hops. Notes of grapefruit, cannabis, and a touch of honey sweetness. Finish is surprisingly mellow for such a hoppy beer, but the hop flavor remains, minus the bitterness.
Body is nice and smooth for an IPA, with a very subtle stickiness from the hops. This is a highly drinkable west coast IPA, although not quite as hoppy as many from the region. Still, very nice and a pleasure to drink.

22oz bomber, bottleworks
appearance: served in a mash house shaker pint, dark copper-amber body, light beige ring
smell: ruby red grapefruit rind, pine resin, tropical fruit, heavy herbal/earthy presence
taste: Oakshire features the former head brewer of Flossmoor Station, a south chicago joint that whipped out a new IPA every month. Watershed is a big bodied ipa - bitter grapefruit rind, pine resin, big malt backbone, caramel and toffee, grainy and earthy. Interesting - didnt really like it at first, but it grew on me
mouthfeel: too big, bitter
overall: good

1 Pint, 6 FL OZS...brown bottle...
Appearance: Hazy orange/copper beer with a patchy cream off-white foam head that clings to the sides of the glass.
Smell: Very pronounced grapefruit hop aromas, spicy with background sweet malts and a faint bready grain aroma.
Taste: Hmmm...not exactly what I was expecting from the smell & appearance...Funky soapy flavor, which could be crazy hops?! Then, mellows out to a smooth and creamy with a relatively weak-body. The initial taste is a strange soap/hop mix on the palate! Some spicy, leaf and grass flavours pull-thru, then are followed by an alcohol presence and spiciness. The malt in this beer is faintly present but gets lost in hops/soaps weirdness. Beer finishes with residual hop spice and faint malt sweetness, with the last touch of weird soapy flavor.
Notes: I'm not sure about this beer? I've sure had better. 7.10 % abv.

22 oz bottle into a tulip glass. Thanks go to Wackyfoot for these bottles of Oakshire goodness.
Pours a brilliantly clear (yet effervescent) copper, with 2 foamy fingers of just the slightest off-white colored head. Retains with a 1/2 finger of froth, which leaves a big creamy cascade back, before settling into a thick latticework of lacing. The aroma is floral, with a bit of a dank herbal quality to it, with plenty of piney resins as well. Good bit of hoppy tropical fruit character gives this some sweetness. Pretty nice mashup of the different hop qualities here, with a little bit of everything thrown in. Toasted malts gives the nose an extra layer of grainy thickness. I'm getting just a touch of light warmth as well.
The taste has a strong bite of spicy and resinous bitterness to it. Thankfully, this doesn't get overbearing, due to a silky sweet backbone of softer tropical fruits and lightly toasted bready malts. The sweetness has a real delicate nature to it that I'm really digging, giving the balance more of a deft touch than anything. This finishes with a sticky resinous feel, before heading into the sunset with a steady dryness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with an extremely mellow feel to the carbonation, which keeps thisvery easy in the mouth. I'm getting nary a trace of alcohol from this, which I think speaks to the full flavors and great balance here.
I've been wanting to see what Matt Van Wyk has been up to out in Oregon, and after consuming this bottle, I'm very pleased to see that he's up to great things! This is definitely a robust West Coast IPA, but this was less about blow-your-socks-off hops, and more about the little things that this did right for me. No matter where he's at in the country, this man knows how to a brew an IPA!

Clear, honey-orange brew with a solid crown of tight white bubbles and very well carbonated. Very nice looking beer! Pleasing aroma, with piney hops dominant, and some honey malt characteristics present in the tail end of the the nose. Malt is more assertive in the beginning of the palate than I anticipated, with an astrigent, biting bitter coming in toward then end. I found the mouthfeel to be odd...a bit thin, yet a slight stickiness.

Slightly hazy golden color with one finger of head that had decent retention before settling to a thin cap. Moderate amount of sticky lacing is left down the glass.
Aroma is a surprising amount of sweet smelling malt. The hops add some citrus, possibly lemon, and herbal aromas.
On the sweeter side of the IPA spectrum, especially for an American IPA. Hops give some citrus and herbal qualities. Bitterness seems moderately high. Alcohol cleanses the palate in the finish.
Has good carbonation for an IPA. Light and fine bubbles that give just enough life to the beer.
I would of liked more hop flavor to accompany the bitterness. Otherwise an enjoyable beer.

Vietnamese national who tried to wed East Lancs stranger for visa walks free
Updated 3:28pm Saturday 26th July 2014 in News
A VIETNAMESE man who was part of a failed sham marriage ring has been walked free from court.
Dat Van Vu, 25, planned to marry Sarah Hesketh, a stranger who he met while working on a Blackburn Market stall, to obtain British citizenship.
Vu was given a six-month prison sentence for his part in the scam, but walked free from Preston Crown Court yesterday because he had already served the time on remand.
Vu and Hesketh's wedding never took place after the bride-to-be got cold feet, the court heard.
It was part of a wider sham marriage ring which saw four East Lancashire residents jailed last year and four Vietnamese nationals go on the run including ring leader and Vu's ex partner Trang Luu.
All the couples met in the nail bars Miss Nails and were caught out when officials received a tip-off the day after sham bride Amanda Nolan's fake £1,500 white wedding at Whitehall Country Club, Darwen.
Vu, who arrived in the UK in the back of a van from mainland Europe in 2005, had been in hiding since 2011 until police arrested him in London in April this year.
While using the name of Tony, Vu met Ms Hesketh when the pair worked together on Blackburn Market, in 2010.
David Clarke, prosecuting, said the 'couple' sent a form to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in June 2010 to begin the marriage process.
He said: "The form made out there was a relationship between the two and explained how they had met and how his residential permit had not been executed because of his poor English.
"Further supporting documents including passports, travel documents and birth certificates were attached. Bills and letters addressed to the couple were needed to support this further."
In October 2010, Vu and Ms Hesketh submitted more details about their relationship and wedding plans, before police traced a sham marriage ring to Vu's address in Castleton Road, Preston.
Mr Clarke said: "The defendant had lived there with Trang Luu. Papers were found in relation to Sarah Hesketh but Valentine's Day cards between Mr Vu and Trang Luu - the couple with the valid relationship - were also found.
"A marriage certificate was actually granted by UKBA, however, as the police investigation extended in 2011, the defendant disappeared and wasn't recovered until this year.
"Sarah Hesketh was cautioned for perjury by police and gave a statement on the events in March 2011. She explained she was a regular customer at Miss Nails, on Blackburn Market, and was offered a job in 2010.
"She was aware that a fellow worker called 'Tony' wished to have a marriage to stay in the UK.
"She was offered £10,000 if she went ahead with the fake marriage. She got cold feet and never went through with it."
Further police investigations led detectives to Vu's flat in Barnfield Road, London. He said he had been in a relationship with Ms Hesketh and that it was genuine but had broken down, and that he had never signed any forms.
Paul Bryning, defending, said his client fled Vietnam because his parents were persecuted due to their Catholic faith.
He said: "His grandparents arranged for his exile and he travelled through Europe and into Britain in a van.
"He presented himself to the Home Office and was placed in foster care. At the age of 18 he was provided with a National Insurance number and had to fend for himself.
"He knew at that stage he had to make an application to remain here and it seems he did not do so because of the language barrier."
Mr Bryning continued: "He never relied on welfare or benefits and contributed to society through his employment.
"He is now in a stable relationship with a Vietnamese girl and they had a son together last year. He is now seeking to apply for residency through the proper channels.
"He spends his time at home looking after his young son and his partner is a student at university.
"This is not a sophisticated offence but merely an attempt to gain citizenship in an inappropriate manner. He is remorseful."
Sentencing Vu, Justice Alistair Macduff said it was a 'serious offence'.
He said: "I believe the appropriate sentence is one of six months in prison which will result in your immediate release.
"I wish you good fortune in your application for proper residency status."
Vu, who sat in the dock with his interpreter throughout the hearing, was visibly delighted with the outcome.
Last March, Jason Procter, of Princes Street, Blackburn, and Kevin Donnelly, of Thwaites Road, Oswaldtwistle, were given 10 months in prison for their role in the sham marriage ring.
Denny Wallace, of Preston New Road, Blackburn, Gemma Nelson, of Whalley New Road, Blackburn, and Amanda Nolan, of Windsor Road, Blackburn, were all given suspended sentences for their roles in the plot.

The gun used in the shooting in Greenwood that left six people dead was one owned by the victim, the sheriff's office said on Monday.
Deputies said Bryan Sweatt killed three adults and two children along with himself in a murder-suicide at a home off Callison Highway Tuesday. They said Sweatt called 911 to warn them he was planning on "hurting himself" moments before shots were fired.
Deputies said the gun Sweatt used was one of the victim's but they were unsure how it came into his possession, the sheriff's office said just over a week after the murders.
Deputies have not released the type of gun used in the shooting at this time, but in the 911 call made before the incident a dispatcher asked Sweatt what type of gun he had and he replied, "a .44."
While officers were on the way to the scene, according to Greenwood County sheriff's spokesperson John Long, they received notice from the 911 center that a neighbor called and said two children from the home arrived at the neighbor's doorstep saying someone had fired shots.
After several unsuccessful attempts to communicate with Sweatt, SWAT teams went into the home and discovered the six dead. Long said they believe the incident resulted from a domestic dispute.
Davis said at a press conference on Wednesday that the victims were Richard Allen Fields, 51; Melissa Maroney Fields, 49; Chandra Marie Fields, 26; Tariq Kenyon Robinson, 11; and William Asa Robinson, 9.
The sheriff's office said the gun used in the shooting belonged to Richard Allen Fields.
The sheriff said Sweatt and Chandra Fields had a 7-month-old baby. Sweatt had an issue with his lack of access to the child, according to the sheriff.
Richard Fields and Melissa Fields were the parents of Chandra Fields, the sheriff confirmed. He also said, William and Tariq were nephews of Chandra Fields.
Two other children were in the house at the time of the shooting, the sheriff said. He said they were let go and went to the neighbor's house.
The sheriff said Sweatt used a "large caliber handgun."
"I've been in law enforcement in Greenwood since 1975 and to my knowledge this is the first [situation] that I responded to with this many deceased," said Davis.
Bryan Sweatt's cousin issued a statement via Facebook early Wednesday evening about the incident. "We love him and miss him very much and we are sorry for what happened," part of the statement read.
SLED crime scene units were called to the scene to assist.

Just as the University of Tulsa is about to embark on the 2013 season the Golden Hurricane lose a star player. Four-year safety Demarco Nelson is ruled ineligible after failing to reach the NCAAA's Progress Towards Degree Requirements.
It's otherwise known as the 40-60-80 rule. A student-athlete has to complete 60-percent toward their degree by the beginning of their fourth year or they are deemed ineligible.
The University submitted an appeal Tuesday to try to have the ruling overturned.
Not having Nelson on the field for the Golden Hurricane is a big loss and hurts them in a couple of areas. For one, on the field performance is diminished, he is the second highest returning tackler on the team.
And secondly, it's a blow to the leadership of a defense that has only three returning starters. What helped last year's Tulsa defense was experience and without Nelson, linebackers Mitchell Osborne and Shawn Jackson will have to carry an extra load.
"One thing last year in having so many seniors on the defense was when we did face adversity we knew how to bounce back from it." said Jackson, "Overall we're a young defense so the leaders have to show the young guys that we don't have to panic. Just play the next play and play the next series."
Tulsa travels to face the Falcons of Bowling Green Thursday at 6:00pm on ESPNU.

Amanda Marie Wade of Washington and Brian Kendall Niles of Boca Raton, Fla., were united in marriage Nov. 10, 2012, at the Old National Bank headquarters in Evansville, with Judge Richard D'Amour officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Ronald and Mindy Wade of Washington. She is the granddaughter of Aggie Wade of Washington and the late Paul Wade, Karen Vazquez of Chicago, and the late Johnny and Carole Vazquez of Chicago.
The bridegroom is the son of Justin and Lois Niles of Boca Raton, Fla. He is the grandson of Bill and Joyce Niles of Boynton Beach, Fla. and the late Sol and Ann Machulam.

Twins announce new ballpark plan
Collaboration between club, Hennepin County
MINNEAPOLIS -- With clanging bells at the Metrodome light rail station as a backdrop, the Minnesota Twins and Hennepin County announced Monday that they have agreed on a proposal to fund and construct a new ballpark in downtown Minneapolis."I can just visualize it out there now," said Twins owner Carl Pohlad of the proposed 42,000-seat stadium that would open in 2009 in the city's historic Warehouse District. "It's something we've dreamed about, all of us." The proposed ballpark would be located at the Rapid Park site behind the Target Center, which is located at the convergence of I-394 and I-94, the Hiawatha Light Rail line and the proposed Northstar Commuter Rail line. In addition to existing parking facilities, the area would benefit from access to existing bars and restaurants and the Downtown Minneapolis business district, as well as future mixed-use development, "Twinsville," which would be modeled after the Wrigleyville neighborhood in Chicago. Paying for a new ballpark has been a sticking point for past proposals, but the team and the county believe they've come up with a unique funding mechanism that will cover the project's $444 million price tag without tapping into the State of Minnesota's general fund. "This is the best deal we've had so far -- it's so simple and so straightforward," said Jerry Bell, president of Twins Sports, Inc. "It doesn't involve any state money, and so many aspects of the deal are exactly what the state legislators have been asking us to come up with." Under the proposal, the Twins would contribute $125 million, including a $40 million payment up front, with the balance to be paid prior to completion of construction. Hennepin County would fund its share -- including $235 million in construction costs and approximately $84 million in site development expenses -- through a countywide sales tax increase of .15 percent, or three cents on a $20 purchase. "Like a lot of people here, I'm a resident of Hennepin County," said Twins executive board member Jim Pohlad. "Any resident can be proud of the job the county did in the negotiations. They were diligent and thoughtful, they listened to us and left nothing to be decided. There are no side agreements, nothing is hidden. "If a ballpark can't be built on this proposal," he added, "I find it hard to imagine how it ever would be." The next step is to win approval of the State Legislature, which must grant the county the authority to implement the sales-tax increase without a referendum, which the team believes would be a deal-breaker.
|"This is the best deal we've had so far -- it's so simple and so straightforward. It doesn't involve any state money, and so many aspects of the deal are exactly what the state legislators have been asking us to come up with."

Enthusiastic anglers at Mosquito Creek Reservoir are venturing onto the water despite the vacillations in the spring weather. Highs in the 80s brought out plenty of pleasure anglers to enjoy the sunshine on Thursday, but it was the rainy weather Friday that brought out the dedicated few to practice their craft in preparation for a walleye tournament Sunday.
Nick Lary of Hermitage, Pa., was getting ready to launch his boat Friday afternoon. He's been fishing at the reservoir for about 10 years.
''I'm ready to see 60 and sunny,'' Lary said. ''I've got a walleye tournament to get ready for.''

Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Toby Holzer of East Palestine casts his line into Mosquito Lake on Thursday afternoon while fishing for bass. Holzer said he travels to Mosquito Lake 40 to 50 times a year to fish.
Parked next to him by the boat launch was Mike Porter, who had just returned from the choppy waters.
''We had a tournament about two weeks ago, but we only caught one fish,'' he said.
Porter is hoping to finish in the top five at the upcoming walleye tournament.
Across the boat launch, Kathy Wilson was keeping shop in the small marina. She is hoping better weather will bring in more business.
''The weather won't make its mind up, but we've got water back and that makes everybody happy,'' she said.
Drought conditions last year led to lowered levels in the reservoir.
This year the marina will be renting boats for the first time. Wilson said fishing boats are available and later in the season will have kayaks and canoes for rent.
Mosquito Creek and Lake Milton are gearing up for spring with cleanup days. Mosquito held an Earth Day cleanup Saturday, while Lake Milton's will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday. In addition, there will be tire and appliance recycling at Lake Milton on May 18.
''Just trying to get the cleanup done, there are a lot of little things that need tweaked,'' said maintenance worker Ron Williams as he repaired the roof of the restroom near the Mosquito boat launch.
Williams said it is his first year working at the park after being laid off from his previous job. Being from Bazetta, he said he has always enjoyed walking around the park.
In addition to weekend fishing tournaments, Mosquito will be hosting a ''Garage Sale Campout''' from April 26 to 28, where registered campers will be able to sell their goods, and a ''Pets in the Park Campout'' May 4 and 5, featuring a costume contest and games for pets.
Operations at the parks will remain the same as last year with hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. in day use areas and swimming locations open dawn to dusk. Both parks will be featuring concert series and additional warm weather events during the summer.

Frangipane Galette
- Summary
This beautiful French dessert is a perfect pairing of flavors and textures, combining crisp, buttery puff pastry with the traditional sweet-and-nutty almond paste known as frangipane. The perfect partner for fresh, seasonal fruits, the galette is handcrafted by artisan bakers under the guidance of legendary French-born pastry chef Jean-Yves Charon. Simply thaw, bake and serve warm from the oven.

- Serves 8.

Care Instructions:
- The galette was shipped frozen with dry ice, which may have evaporated during shipment. This is normal. Please take care not to touch any remaining dry ice with bare hands. Upon receipt, store the galette in the freezer where it will keep, unopened, up to 1 year frozen, or up to 2 days refrigerated. Once completely thawed, we do not recommend refreezing the galette.
Cooking Instructions:

Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Fans
Names Written in the Sand Wedding Program Fans The fans were exactly what I ordered with a very nice quality paper. They were a big hit at the beach wedding. I would not hesitate to order again from this company.
Great Product!
Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Cards I have never ordered anything before from magnet street, so I was a little apprehensive at first. But these save the dates exceeded all of my expectations! I will definitely be ordering more products in the future!
High Quality
Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Magnets Our "save the date" magnets turned out perfect. I was impressed with the high quality and professional presentation upon delivery. Definitely will use them for future invitations/cards/magnets.
Magnet street exceeded our expectations, beautiful work and extra special delivery. Really a wonderful experience from start to finish!
Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Magnets A friend recommended Magnet Street to us after having a great experience with them herself. I am so glad she did! We love all of the different options and the support they give in completing the order (to ensure you truly get what you are expecting). Our save-the-dates are better than we expected, and the delivery/presentation is just top notch! I haven't been this impressed in a very long time with a business!
Beautiful cards, accommodating personalization & fast delivery
Names Written in the Sand Rectangle Invitations I ordered the names in the sand save the dates & invitations for my wedding and they are gorgeous! The back of the invitations is a heart drawn in sand which Magnet street personalized for us by putting our initials in the center of the heart. I am a last min kind of person and as such I was worried we would not have time to get the save the dates out before sending our invitations, but magnetstreet came through for me and we had our package in less than 2 weeks. I can't say enough about this company.

Pleasanton school board goes out of town to hire new principals for schools here

I am disappointed to hear that Mr Bull has not been placed as Principal of Amador. If he has applied (as we all were sure he would), he is the only candidate that is qualified to lead our school. As the VP he has been assuming many of the Principal roles and this transistion would be seemless. Let's not miss an opportunity to keep talented people in the Pleasanton Unified system.

I totally agree with concerned parent. Mr. Bull would be Amador's best choice, and I will be very disappointed if he is not our next Principal.
on May 15, 2013 at 4:40 pm
I'm assuming he applied and wasn't appointed. Who could be better that Mr Bull?
