|Oakley Crosshair Sunglasses are a retro-inspired pair constructed with details that put a fresh spin on the classic teardrop silhouette. When Oakley created the Crosshair, they respected the classics but added more than a few modern innovations in performance, comfort and protection. They began with C-5 frame, then they let their designers do what they do best. With a high-quality design it only makes sense that this pair would offer the best performance features including optimized peripheral vision and side protection against the elements via an 8.75 curved frame, a Three-Point Fit that offers the perfect fit and Plutonite� lenses to protect from 100% of harmful UV rays. The result -- a modern pair of glasses that sets this teardrop frame apart. One size fits most.

It was an eventful first week of NBA action, and on Monday afternoon, the NBA announced its selections for the "Player of the Week" honor in both conferences.
Just Announced: @MCW1 (20.7ppg, 3-0) of the @Sixers & @KevinLove (29.7ppg, 3-0) of the @MNTimberwolves named NBA Players of the Week.
— NBA (@NBA) November 4, 2013
Beginning in the Western Conference, Minnesota PF Kevin Love is a more than deserving choice. Love led the T-Wolves to a 3-0 mark on the week, and is currently the leading scorer in the NBA (while being the 2nd-leading rebounder) at 29.7 points per game. Frankly, Love was a "no-brainer" selection in the wake of guys like Kevin Durant having slightly "off" weeks, but it was good to see him get the recognition that his play deserved.
In the East, Sixers rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams corralled the honor. Carter-Williams doesn't have the single-best statistical resume in the conference, but his profile was helped by an incredible 22-point, 12-assist, 7-rebound, 9-steal performance against the Miami Heat in Philly's upset win. In all likelihood, this will be the last "Player of the Week" honor for MCW this season, but he certainly earned it.
Both players were mentioned in our "MVP Power Rankings" post this morning, and while there is always room to quibble with this type of honor, there is no doubt that both Kevin Love and Michael Carter-Williams were deserving choices.

Cardinals consider leaving Flagstaff training site
The team has issued a request to Glendale on proposals to host training camp beginning in summer 2013.
Julie Frisoni with the City of Glendale said they have until Friday to give the team a plan.
"The Cardinals have had a sellout every game since they moved to their new stadium in Glendale in 2006," said Frisoni. "Certainly if it makes sense to host the training camp as well, it's something that we would definitely want to look into."
Members of the Glendale City Council are meeting this afternoon to discuss the possible move. Frisoni said cost is the top priority.
"We obviously have to look at all the benefits that hosting an event of this magnitude would bring."
Glendale is facing big budget issues after the council approved a $300 million deal to keep the Coyotes. The city will have to cut almost $20 million and 200 jobs within the next five years.
Frisoni said Glendale isn't the only Valley city on the Cardinals' list, in addition to the possibility the team could remain in Flagstaff.

Day 11
Chicken Salad
Crossroads Coffeehouse
Take a cue from When Harry Met Sally and have what she's having. She, in this case, is co-owner Jalene Berger, and her off-menu creation is chicken salad, pickles and lettuce, buttressed by two slices of provolone on a toasted everything bagel. The thing single-handedly rehabilitates chicken salad's image, which has been ravaged by years of plastic-wrapped, airport-terminal failure. (310 Southwest Boulevard, 816-255-2402, kccrossroadscoffee.com)
Day 12
Very Veggie
The Nutty Girl
The only prepackaged offering on this list (day-old sandwiches are $1 cheaper) is in the refrigerator at Waldo's One More Cup, but Nutty Girl products aren't so much plastic-wrapped as they are cared for. The Very Veggie marries garlic-and-dill cream cheese with swiss cheese in a well-suited, albeit unlikely, union. Tomatoes, carrots and cucumber slices fill out the rest of the space between multigrain bread for a sandwich that's uncommonly refreshing. (Sold at One More Cup, 7408 Wornall, 816-994-3644, onemorecupkc.com)
Day 13
Torta Pastor
El Torito II Supermart
Don't try to eat this one behind the wheel. Stick around the tiny taqueria attached to the big supermarket and absorb the flavors: the sauce, the spice, the creamy avocado, the plump spoonful of mayo. You'll be in good company, alongside road workers still wearing their neon vests and mothers trying to entice toddlers to eat. There's music in the air as the kitchen crew whistles and sings and your pork sizzles on the griddle. (1409 Central, Kansas City, Kansas, 816-668-2471, 1wp.com/go/eltoritosupermart)
Day 14
Fried Egg and Sage
Martin City Brewing Co.
Carefully pick your seat on the patio — every so often, you luck into a rocking metal chair — and let the beer-savvy waitstaff tell you what you want from the taps. Less thought is required for your sandwich, though, because whatever you're drinking probably goes with this herb garden encased in grilled sourdough. The yolk runs with the slow precision of Nicolas Cage, mingling with the garlic and the garlic aïoli and the tomato and the mozzarella. This is why we eat breakfast for dinner (with beer). (500 East 135th Street, 816-268-2222, martincitybrewingcompany.com)
Day 15
The Peanut
Bar food is like comedy — it usually improves after a few drinks. But the BLT is the rare pub sub that you find yourself craving even when you're sober as a judge. The Peanut version is the best we've had of the kind you might make in your own kitchen. No fancy ingredients are involved, just the right fixings (toasted wheat bread, for instance). Ask for crisp bacon, but don't otherwise mess with the sandwich that generates its own bacon craze. (5000 Main, 816-753-9499; other locations; peanutkc.com)
Day 16
Fried Gulf-Shrimp Po'boy
The Fish Market
Did a New Orleans fishing boat beach somewhere off Route 291? That's the only way to explain how the South so easily reaches Liberty. The fried gulf-shrimp po'boy at the month-old fish joint in the former Liberty Bend Fish Market has heaps of crunchy, zesty shrimp on lettuce, pickles, mayo, ketchup and a generous splash of Crystal Hot Sauce. Tell them that you want a side of hush puppies; here, those gloriously fried golf balls set you back just one more dollar. (1120 East Old State Route 210, Liberty, facebook.com/FishMarketLiberty)

Video: Okposo itching to return to game action
Kyle Okposo talked about expectations for the upcoming season, head coach Jack Capuano and his health Thursday at Islanders camp.
"I'm just ready to get back on the ice and get a few games under my belt and just feel healthy again, feel confident," Okposo said. "I wasn't playing very confident last year, and I'm just excited to get some games in."

For the first time in decades and just in time for spring, an exhibition of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings is currently on view at the De Young Museum. Originally from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O'Keeffe started out as a little seed within the exclusive garden of New York City and soon blossomed into one of the most creative women artists in history.
In the 1920's, O'Keeffe looked at flowers blooming through a magnifying glass and created enlarged paintings of it. She was known for her depictions of flowers because she was the first to relate "female iconography" with art, or so as the 1970's feminists claim.
Among her famous blossoming beauties, "Petunia" is the featured painting at the De Young Museum. The three central petunias overwhelm the viewers because the painting is hung high enough to give the illusion that the flowers are above you. The center bloom is looking straight at the viewer while the outer flowers blend to the center one. O'Keeffe uses purple as her main color with hints of grey and fading blues. Walking up to the painting, the viewer will be convinced the painting is hung upside down because the flowers are blooming downwards. Normally O'Keeffe would sign her paintings on the back but in this exception she signs it on the painting, which gives us the proper display direction.
Aside from Petunia, the De Young is also displaying "Lake George," "Autumn Leaves," and "Starlight Night." The exhibit is on display from Feb. 15 to May 11, and open every day except on Mondays and students only pay $22 for admission. Aside from being able to view the entire De Young Museum, visitors also have admittance to the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park, as long as the visit is on the same day.

First Poster for TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION with Mark Wahlberg
Paramount Pictures has released the first poster for Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction. It features Mark Wahlberg as the main character in the film Cade Yeager, and I imagine this is the first of several posters that will include characters from the movie.
The movie is set to be released on June 27th. The crazy looking action film also stars Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, Li Bingbing, T.J. Miller, Han Geng, and Titus Welliver.

On October 15, 1872, Virginia Minor applied to register to vote in Missouri. The registrar, Reese Happersett, turned down the application, because the Missouri state constitution read:
Every male citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote.
Mrs. Minor sued in Missouri state court, claiming her rights were violated on the basis of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Supreme Court Decides
The US Supreme Court, in an 1874 unanimous opinion written by the chief justice, found:
- women are citizens of the United States, and were even before the Fourteenth Amendment passed
- the right of suffrage -- the right to vote -- is not a "necessary privilege and immunity" to which all citizens are entitled
- the Fourteenth Amendment did not add the right of suffrage to citizenship privileges
- the Fifteenth Amendment was required to be sure voting rights were not "denied or abridged ... on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude" -- in other words, the amendment was not necessary if citizenship conferred voting rights
- women's suffrage was explicitly excluded in nearly every state either in the constitution or in its legal code; no state had been excluded from joining the Union for lack of women's voting rights, including states re-entering the Union after the Civil War, with newly written constitutions
- the US had made no objection when New Jersey explicitly withdrew women's suffrage rights in 1807
- arguments about the need for women's suffrage were irrelevant to their decisions

The Spencerian Business College opened its doors in 1863 in downtown Milwaukee. More than a hundred years later, in 1974, Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) took over the school; a merger that is the foundation for today's School of Business Administration at CUW, the second largest private business school in Wisconsin. On Satruday, May 4, Spencerian alumni and friends are gathering to celebrate its 150th anniversary.
"This event is a great opportunity for old friends and classmates to reunite," says Director of Corporate & Community Relations at CUW, Lisa Liljegren. "In many cases the attendees will not have seen each other in decades," Liljegren adds.
This milestone gathering will give alumni of Spencerian College of Business a chance to reunite and reminisce. Those taking part in the morning portion of the celebration will take a bus tour of the old neighborhood in downtown Milwaukee and visit the sites where the campus once stood. The first location was on East Wisconsin Ave. (years 1863-1923), then 2800 W. Wright St. (years 1923-72), and finally at N. 35th St. and Kilbourn Ave.
Later in the day, on May 4, the celebration will continue on CUW's campus in Mequon with a walking tour, a presentation titled "Then & Now," a wine reception in the Center for Environmental Stewardship, and a dinner & dancing reception.
John Sorensen, Class of '63, is on the organizing committee for the upcoming celebration. He believes that an event like this validates the important role that the Spencerian College of Business has played in lives of the graduates.
"I'm going to reunite with someone who was in my wedding party more than fifty years ago," say Sorensen. "I've enjoyed immensely helping organize this 150th anniversary event," he adds.
The acquisition of Spencerian College of Business has been an important part of CUW's expansion over the last 35 years. It has also brought to light many of the accomplishments and contributions that Robert C. Spencer, founder of the College, brought to Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
"He served six terms on the Milwaukee School Board, worked with Alexander Graham Bell in developing the first schools for the deaf in Wisconsin, and is said to have been a strong proponent that UW-Madison establish a Department of Commerce in the 1870's," says Special Project Coordinator at CUW, Dr. Lawrence Sohn.
The College is always looking to reconnect with alumni. Please contact Lisa Liljegren, director of Corporate & Community Relations at CUW, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 262-243-4474.

If you think Northfield is just another sleepy little midwestern town, try going downtown early on a Saturday morning in June. Packs of runners are coming and going, as well as groups of cyclists headed out for the open road. The Saturday morning yoga session at Heartwork Studio is packed and small bands of walkers are chatting and laughing as they head out. Northfield has an extraordinary number of very good athletes spanning all age groups and a large support group of peers for most any activity you choose. For me, there really is nothing like an early morning summer bike ride, sometimes by myself, and sometimes with a group, to make me feel strong and fast and just glad to be alive. Whatever activity you enjoy, it's time to get going.

I've got good news and I've got bad news. I'll give you the bad news first. Unless you have been exercising properly, you have been losing five to seven pounds of muscle every decade of your adult life. It gets worse; you have been gaining a pound of fat every year since you were thirty, or ten pounds every decade.
Now, before you stick your head in the oven and turn on the gas, let me tell you the good news. Younger people can avoid the loss of muscle mass by a regular strength-training program and older people can replace lost muscle mass at any age!

YMCA, city, schools team up to host Healthy Kids DaySubmitted by Anne Bretts on Fri, 03/16/2007 - 1:29pm
In the interest of full disclosure here, I'll start by noting that I am volunteering to help with publicity for this event. But it sounds like a lot of fun and something we'd be happy to write about even if I weren't involved.
And I know it's a little early but this will let you mark the date for one of the first big events for the new Northfield Area Family YMCA. The Y doesn't have a building yet, but its leaders are busy with new ideas.
The event – the first in Northfield – will combine the city's annual bike safety rodeo with a host of other activities in and around the school. There will be a display of police, fire and ambulance vehicles as well as an emergency helicopter and visits by police dogs, coordinated by Northfield Police, Rice County's Sheriff's Department and Northfield Hospital Emergency Medical Services. Key local co-sponsors include the City of Northfield, Northfield Public Schools Community Services and the Healthy Community Initiative, along with dozens of organizations who will offer activities and displays.

Peace protests unite dissenters
By Anya Galli, Contributing Writer
Peace and political protests are bizarre microcosms of the American population. They are instant communities of people from drastically different backgrounds joining together out of a conviction for a common cause, a beautifully cohesive representation of freedom of speech and peaceable assembly. When else can you find entire convents of nuns marching beside anarchist, angst-ridden teenagers?

Dom Kennedy Radio
Based out of Los Angeles, California, Dom Kennedy (born Dominic Hunn) is a rapper with a fiercely independent streak. With a style that pairs terse, simple lyricism with a knack for narrative, Kennedy has made a name for himself with a prolific string of mixtapes, making his debut in 2008 with 25th Hour, followed by Future Street/Drug Sounds and Best After Bobby in 2009, From the Westside with Love in 2011, and The Yellow Album and Young Nation in 2012. Rather than sign on with a label, the talented MC instead decided to start his own label, Other People's Money, which he used to release his own official albums, From the Westside with Love II and Get Home Safely, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. ~ Gregory HeaneyPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

More reviews by blackrosekitten
Used this product today in my baby fine naturally curly hair. Sprayed some on a comb to start to make sure i got it at my roots and then sprayed some in my hand and scrunched throughout my hair then turned my head upside down and dryed my hair with my blowdryer and diffuser. Didn't notice any offensive scent and the product didn't make my hair feel weighed down or crunchy or sticky. And I have great volume. Will definetly buy this again when i run out!
More reviews by obsessedwithtaylor
I use this almost every time I wash my hair now. I spray this only from my roots to midshaft, and although some people complain about heavy stickiness, it depends on how much you use. If you use it sparingly as it is very powerful, you can achieve lifted roots and volume without a product-y feeling, but if you use way to much of this things can get gross. The only downside for me is that the scent isn't great, kind of a weird fabric freshener scent? Anyway, I will continue to purchase this!
This stuff does work but has some major disadvantages. It has the potential of giving you mega volume but it can easily give you dirty hobo/cavewoman hair. It's meant to texturize your locks to achieve volume, but the costs outweigh the benefits for me so I won't repurchase. There are better volumizing products out there.
My main gripes with it: 1) It stinks. The smell reminds me of an air/fabric freshener, powder and glue. Nothing sweet, fruity or floral/herbal here. 2) It makes your hair feel heavy, dirty, and icky and I use less than half a palm size of this stuff. I have to wash my hair sooner than I normally would or my scalp will start to itch. On the other hand, it gives a lot of volume that holds up throughout the day.
The best way to apply this product is to spray a small amount onto your palm and work it through damp roots. Use more if you think you need it but it's easy to go overboard with this stuff. A little goes a long way. It's NOT A MOUSSE so don't expect it to dispense like one and certainly don't use it all over like it is one. Lift the roots up when you blow-dry, then blast with cool shot. I tried this on dry hair and it works just the same but it made my hair feel so much dirtier and heavier, so I suggest damp hair.
Try the travel size before you buy the full size and try the regular Root Pump if you have fine, limp hair.

I have purchased this multiple times. I have fine, limp hair and a friend of mine with the same told me about this product. She would use it to keep curls in her long hair all day long and I couldn't believe she could get that kind of hold with such fine hair. Convinced me.
I have shoulder length hair and this product does not weigh my hair down at all. Much like the previous reviewer, my hair is oily. When I use this, it is less oily the next day, though I still have to wash daily. This gives my hair lift that will last all day. It really is an amazing product. I won't even bother to try something else at this point. I spray out a palm-size mound of product. I then use both hands to work the product through damp hair, concentrating at the crown and my roots, and then use a bit on the ends of my hair. Then blowdry and style.
This is perfection with the exception of the large can; however, the quality of the packaging is great. I dropped a brand new can and broke the top on it. I simply pulled the top off an empty can that I was about to toss and put it on top of the can with the broken top. Wallaaaa! Fixed. Love it, love it, love it. I even use it to plump up my limp hair when I'm not even going out. Just hanging out around the house, my ponytail looks so much cuter. LOL!

More reviews by number1larissa
I have very fine, wavy hair (a lot of it!) that tends to err on the side of greasy after only one day (sometimes by the end of the same day that I shampoo), which makes my hair even more limp than it is to start with (which is pretty limp). I'm not usually a fan of mousse or volumizing products, but since I got this product (Root Pump Plus, not regular) free from a friend, I figured I'd give it a shot - and I am so glad I did!
I have used this product 3 times so far, so I may update as time passes, but so far I love this stuff.
I spray this product right onto my head and rub it in before blow drying. When I blow dry (I alternate between upside-down and right-side up because I can't stand to have my head upside-down for more than a minute at a time; I get a headache), my hair feels *almost* sticky to the touch - it definitely feels thicker and more texturized - but then I go to run my brush through my hair and it glides through effortlessly. What??!?! This is unbelievable to me - usually volumizing/texturizing products leave my hair a stiff tangled mess. Somehow this manages to create volume and texture but also leaves my very fine, prone-to-thousands of-tangles hair manageable. I think this stuff may be magical.
My second-day hair is still voluminous and manageable. It is also LESS GREASY than if I don't use this stuff. I swear - magical. So far I've only used this on the top of my head, but am tempted to see what happens if I branch into using it on the rest of my scalp.
I should note that I also use Aveda light elements smoothing fluid on the tips of my hair as a heat protectant, and the two products seem to work well together.

I tried both versions. This one gives a lot more volume and the volume lasts longer. Yeah, it's easy to overdo and get slightly crunchy (or super crunchy) but the regular version does very little in the way of volume. I can't wait to use that one up so I can buy more of the this one. The smell of neither is noteworthy but tolerable. These were on sale at Ulta for $10 recently which is a more appropriate price point than the regular price. The can lasted several months with regular use.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
There are two versions of Root Pump: Regular, and Plus. Regular is best for fine-to-medium hair, and Plus is for thick or coarse hair. I didn't realize this when I bought Plus (ages ago), and I have thin, fine hair, so I wish I had bought the regular one instead. But I didn't, so this review is for Plus, but keep in mind I'm not its ideal user.
All that being said, this stuff is SERIOUS! Serious hold, serious oomph. This, sprayed into my roots and rubbed in, coupled with an upside down blowdry=WHOA! Big a** hair! If it droops during the day, you can just refluff with your fingers and be back in business.
If you absolutely cannot abide the feeling of product in your hair, do not get this. It doesn't LOOK stiff and product-y, but you can feel it for sure. I love the results, but it feels a little too stiff and grungy for my taste. I assume the non-Plus might feel lighter.
The can is huge and if you only use it on your roots, it should last a good long while. If I ever run out of this, I'll try the regular and give that one a whirl. If you want serious body and lift, give one of the Root Pumps a try for sure.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Absolutely cannot live without this! I don't have the thickest hair but Root Pump Plus makes it impossible to tell. After I get out of the shower, I spray Paul Mitchell root lifter then apply Root Pump Plus all over my hair, not just on the roots, then blowdry and brush it out. Makes my hair have amazing body and volume. It's about $21.00 at CVS, but I will never use anything else. amazing amazing amazing
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have very fine, thin hair and this volumizes without weighing down. You only need to use a small amout. The diffuser applicator is kind of worthless, it's easier to just spray into your hands and work in. Need to use at the roots and the mid hair shaft for volume before blowdrying. Results don't last long, looked great after blow drying but was flat again the next morning. For the price, I probably won't repurchase because I like Giovanni's root 66 root lifting spray just as well at a much lower price.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The positive reviews on here really convinced me to buy this spray mousse but I wasn't impressed. It was pretty pricey at $18/19 and it didn't deliver on its promise. I used only 3 light sprays and then I would massage it throughout my crown area. After I used this my hair was slightly volumized but not much better than the usual volume of my hair. Plus, this product felt like it weighed down my hair and it broke me out! I noticed that after a couple uses, my back and chest (cleavage area) started developing acne. At first I didn't know what was causing it. Once I stopped using this, because I was unhappy with the results it gave me, I realized that this was causing my break outs. I definitely don't recommend this to those who are break out prone or those who have sensitive skin. For the price and disappointing results, I say save your money and look for something else.

Washed Up Emo Podcast

|Other Popular Episodes
|Episode 28 - Mike Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, American Football, Owen)
|January 26, 2014
|Recently, I got together with Mike Kinsella for the podcast who in these circles needs no introduction. Alas, for those unaware, he has been a part of some of the most revered bands in the scene from the last 90s through today. His work with Cap'n Jazz, American Football, Owls, Owen and Their / They're / There and Joan of Arc has influenced countless individuals and bands to pursue music. We talk about his upbringing, using maps while touring Europe, an upcoming American Football release, renaming "Never Meant" so it's funnier when someone yells it out at an Owen show and of course, the future. One thing is for sure, there is plenty of music left in Mr. Kinsella.
|Episode 29 - Frank Turner
|February 9, 2014
|Frank Turner couldn't wait to talk as he bounded to the back of the tour bus before his New York City gig at Terminal 5 late last year. When settled, he proclaimed that he never gets to talk about emo in any interview. Good start to say the least. After a full tour and pushing his latest album "Tape Deck Heart," he relaxed instantly and in turn we had a great conversation. We spoke about his time with Kneejerk and Million Dead, his upbringing in the UK and how he found out about emo and hardcore plus Mineral's influence and his favorite emo band I Hate Myself. Needless to say, we got along.
|Episode 30 - Travis Shettel (Piebald)
|March 24, 2014
|Hey, we are now part of it. One of the most requested guests, Travis Shettel from Piebald, sat down with me a few months back to chat about the band's history. We spoke about the Boston scene, their first name Dork Knob and some of the reasons for Piebald's break up. We also get an update on Travis' latest music endeavor with the Past Haunts. A true original in a scene full of copy cats, Piebald stood out for good reason, people are still talking about them to this day.
|Episode 27 - Jim Adkins & Eric Richter (Jimmy Eat World, Christie Front Drive)
|November 29, 2013
|After meeting Eric Richter from Christie Front Drive through a friend in the early 2000s, I got to ask all the questions I had pent up since high school about the early days of Christie Front Drive touring and connecting with the likes of Mineral, Boys Life and Jimmy Eat World. I was always intrigued about that connection with Jimmy Eat World and after interviewing Jim Adkins for the podcast, I couldn't wait to get them both in a room. Schedules aligned this year and almost instinctively I stepped out of the way on this one. No need for questions when two friends get in the room. In this episode, you will hear Eric and Jim discuss how they did their first 7" together, the Capitol Records years for Jimmy Eat World and plenty of stories from the road. To be able to put this together and hear Eric and Jim wax poetic on the early days of their bands was a dream come true and a first for the podcast.
|Episode 21 - Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World)
|April 1, 2013
|Twenty one episodes in and I'm finally legal. What better way to celebrate adulthood of the podcast than by having one of my favorite musicians Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World to chat with me. Jim and I discussed his first time singing live and what it accomplished to the audience of one, the first goal of the band and his take on how the band has had such longevity in the scene. There is so much in this episode that I think every fan new and old will find something interesting. From Jim's love for Guided by Voices, back story on the new album and a couple outtakes at the end you will surely not want to miss. I am beyond grateful for those that helped make this happen and Jim for taking the time to chat.
