It does seems rather contradictory that the most high-profile launch game for WiiWare - a service designed to bring simple, accessible and cheap games to a wider audience - is actually the most complex, niche and expensive example of what it has to offer.
Yes, it's a real-time strategy game, hardly the best genre for appealing to the masses. Yes, it's got ridiculously amounts of depth that needs to be explored and takes an absolute age (well, at least three hours) to really get into. And yes, it costs 1,500 Wii Points - around £10 - before you even factor in the downloadable content that, assuming Square-Enix keeps releasing it at the rate it already has, will set you back the same again at least. Does any of the above prevent Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King being one of the best, if not THE best game available so far though? Not in the slightest.
Planning Permission
Without wanting to belittle what Square-Enix has managed to create, My Life As A King is essentially the illegitimate love child of Sim City and Crystal Chronicles. Taking the role of a young king who's been left a new kingdom by his mysteriously-absent father, it's your job to create a thriving populous out of virtually nothing. Actually doing that in terms of raising buildings and attracting townsfolk is a piece of cake - you just stand on one of the glowing green areas, shake the Remote to summon Chime (your chancellor and loyal companion) and then pick what you want from a simple menu. Easy.
Not surprisingly then, the complexity lies in the gameplay hidden underneath the simple control scheme. Building requires Elementite - a special kind of crystal that powers your magical Architek ability. The only way to get Elementite is to raid nearby dungeons but, as you're the king and therefore too important, you need to employ adventurers to do it for you. However, as you only get one adventurer per house built, you need to build more houses which costs more Elementite... and so it goes on. The vicious cycle of house building (as well as constructing shops selling weapons, armour, items and even non-combat goods such as bread), dungeon raiding and recruiting is fairly intense to say the least, but it's also ridiculously addictive. Once it gets going, at least.
King For A Day
You see, My Life As A King is horribly slow to begin with. The initial grind of sending a small handful of adventurers out, only to see them slaughtered and bring your plans of conquest to a shuddering halt, takes a good few hours to get going. However (and it's a really important however), it's definitely worth the pain and effort. Once you get into the rhythm of sending people out on quests and then doing your part for the kingdom while they're busy, you'll find yourself playing for several hours without even realising it.
There's more to consider, too. How do you decide where to put your shops and houses, seeing as placement is imperative? Which adventurers do you train up as mages or thieves once you get the chance? What order should you tackle the dungeons in and should you spend time re-treading old ground for better rewards, or press forward and try to see as much as possible? Do you spend your time using your Morale Spheres boosting the relationships of your citizens to earn new adventurers medals, or use them to enhance your kingdom? Although it's not exactly simple in the first place, My Life As A King is as complex as you want to make it and the further you delve into the intricacies of it all, the richer the experience gets.

The Gallic or Celtic tribes of the Po Valley were the first inhabitants of today's Lombardia to have left a long lasting mark in such places as Bergamo, Como and Milan or Mediolanum.
Roberto Baggio was the last name to conquer Brescia. One of the first was Attila the Hun.
Brescia itself was originally called Brixia by the Romans and was an important strategic base for their conquest north.
Recipe for saffron risotto alla Milanese
Once you get the hang of cooking the rice to perfection, there is world of risottos out there, or is that 'risotti'. It's not too difficult to look like a genius. We'll bring you the recipe for radicchio and gorgonzola soon.
Museo del Bijou of Casalmaggiore
The Museo del Bijou di Casalmaggiore is a very fine jewellery museum located in the province of Cremona in Lombardia. The museum was founded in 1986 and celebrates an industry which grew up in Casalmaggiore from the end of the 19th century until its demise in the 1970's.
Trippa alla Lombarda
To paraphrase John Lennon, all we can say is give tripe a chance. Cooked well it is a delicacy. Cooked badly.. well. We're not to sure if delicious Italian tripe recipe from Lombardia will be picked up by the search engines, but we'll find out.
Gorgonzola Cheese
Along with parmigiano reggiano and grana padano, Gorgonzola is the most famous of Italian cheeses. It is a soft cheese or 'pasta cruda' made from full cream cow's milk. The characteristic blue streaks in the cheese are mold which forms during the maturing period.
Pizzoccheri pasta recipe from Valtellina
Pizzoccheri is a pasta which goes extremely well with butter and is ideal for those cold winter days in the lost valleys of the Valtellina. So lost, that even Garibaldi had second thoughts about heading into them.
Mythical Creatures of Lombardia
Lombardia is a region of enormous historical and cultural interest, a land full of antique traditions, legends, mystery and folklore. The following itinerary has been proposed by the Associazione Culturale Itinerari based in Sesto Calende to put the visitor on the trail of witches, fairies and ghosts.
Lombardia by Horse
Lombardia by Horse or 'Lombardia a Cavallo' is a neat little guide to enjoying a vacation in the region on horseback.
The guide is promoted by both the Italian Equestrian Sport Federation with the Lombardy Horse Centers and reminds us of the importance of these animals from the time of the Dukes of Mantua in the zone.
Valley life in Livigno
Livigno is situated in a vast valley. It s 18 kms long and hits an altitude of 1800m framed by a chain of mountains which still higher at 3000m.
The valley forms a connection between the Stelvio and Engadina National Parks, the largest in Europe apparently.

Interesting fact… Glenlochy 1968 - Rare Old (Gordon and MacPhail) whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Glenlochy 1968 - Rare Old (Gordon and MacPhail) whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Really fresh fruity aromas of granny smith apples and fresh cut pineapple, developing rainforest canopy aromas with time. Finally the sherry cask influence announces itself with a fanfare of dried fruits.
Palate: Initially milk chocolate and redcurrants, followed by a wave of warm winter spices.
Finish: Still surprisingly fresh with citrus peel and sweet oxidised sherry.
Overall: This malt is surprisingly fresh for a whisky of its age. There are plenty of fruity flavours emboldened by warmer spice and chocolate notes.

Jason Kidd is coming home to the Brooklyn Nets, the organization that transformed him from a good player into a superstar.
The Nets made the decision official Wednesday night following Billy King's long interview with Brian Shaw, who finished behind Kidd in Brooklyn's coaching search. According to sources, Kidd's contract will be guaranteed for 3 seasons with a possible team option for a fourth year.
Even though Kidd has never been a coach at any level before, he has been in the NBA for nearly 20 seasons and has been known as a coach on the floor, always making the right decisions and leading many, many good teams, including taking the New Jersey Nets to the finals twice.
More recently, Kidd won a championship with Dallas in 2011 and led the Manhattan Knicks to a better season than they would have had without him this year.
The Nets have yet to hire any assistants to join Kidd's coaching staff, but those names will be announced in the coming weeks and months. Jason's former coach with New Jersey, Lawrence Frank, is expected to be Kidd's lead assistant.
Whether or not Nets fans wanted Brian Shaw or Kidd to become the Nets coach, long time fans understand that Kidd was the most important player in franchise history and he will always be loved by the organization, whether or not he succeeds as a head coach.

Oh the lights are burning low.
Silence plays in the corner of the room.
Guess it won't be long before my voice is completely lost to you.
Read my name in lights because really it's all that's left;
When the last bulb burns only then will my echo be silenced.
Oh there's no place left to go.
Waves of stringent rules drown men in sin.
Scratch my nails down carpeted walls to feel the warmth of friction.
Paint my face with colours bright to hide a dulling grey;
My skin now raw, no stains remain - a mask will always fade.
Oh you couldn't really know.
Dreams are lost like choking morning dew.
Curtains close on the world's charade to signal the end is through.
If only I had sketched my life with stronger steady strokes,
I'd end my act with greater flair then in a single puff of smoke.

Will fully miss Herm Cain. But suspect yelling, demonically, NINE! NINE! NINE!
I read Piper Kerman's book, Orange is the New Black, twice. It is a memoir about her year in a women's prison and is one of the most interesting books I have ever read! As a fresh graduate of Smith College, Kerman yearned for excitement, and that's exactly what…
This graph made sense at first but now I'm not sure.
via bengreenman
Book #49 - Piper Kerman's Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
Kerman spends a little over a year in prison for a ten year old crime, one that she committed as a reckless and adventure-seeking young adult. As a Caucasian, well-educated (Smith grad!) woman, Kerman doesn't fit the "usual" description of a criminal, and this gives her advantages as well as puts her on alert. Not many women at the Danbury correctional facility were getting packages galore full of books or subscriptions to intellectual magazines and journals. Yet despite her differences, Kerman becomes friends with a colorful cast of characters and shows a side of them people would otherwise never encounter. Society tends to see the label "criminal" and forget all other characteristics.
Given the fact that I recently did a project on restorative justice, I found Kerman's brief comment on it very meaningful. Her crime was non-violent and drug-trafficking related. She had no prior record. Though she knew that her involvement was wrong on a cerebral level, it didn't sink home until she spent time among various inmates whose lives were adversely affected by drugs. Hearing about their struggles in drug-ridden neighborhoods or their own battles with addiction, Kerman finally sees how her poor judgment hurt many others. She comments that rather than spending 15 months in prison, it may have been more effective to do community service related to her offense and truly see the repercussions of her involvement in crime. It would have forced her to reflect on her wrongdoing earlier and with more depth. Plus, it would cut down on prison costs which are already sky high in this country.
Some food for thought…

Professor Terry's Article on Medical Technology Receives Favorable Review in "Jotwell"
The article "Information Technology's Failure to Disrupt Healthcare," 13 Nev. L.J. 722 (2013) by Professor Nicolas Terry received a rave review from JOTWELL, the "Journal of Things We Like (Lots)."
The review praises Terry's work for its observation that health information technology has failed to disrupt health care because to date disruptions haven't been radical enough.
Professor Terry is the Hall Render Professor of Law and co-director of the William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health. Professor Terry's research interests lie primarily at the intersection of medicine, law and information technology. He is a permanent blogger at the HealthLawProf Blog and at Harvard Law School's Bill of Health.

Brewer's yeast for fleas is thought to be effective, because the yeast contains thiamine. The smell and taste of thiamine is believed to be repulsive to fleas, so when dogs and cats eat brewer's yeast, the fleas are repelled by the presence of thiamine on the skin or in the blood of dogs and cats. Thiamine is a part of the B vitamin group.
Getting rid of fleas with brewer's yeast is easy to do, since the yeast is readily available from grocery stores, health food stores and online sources. It can be bought as a powder, a liquid or flakes. The most practical choice when it comes to using brewer's yeast is its powder form. For natural flea control, the powder can be mixed with pet food, dusted onto a pet's coat or dissolved in water.
Brewer's yeast for fleas should be dosed at 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) for small dogs or for cats. Medium-sized dogs should be given 2 teaspoons (10 ml), and larger dogs should be given 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml). The yeast can be sprinkled on dog or cat food, or it can be used directly on pets' coats as flea-control powder. If Brewer's yeast is utilized as a dietary supplement, it can take up to a month before it reaches maximum flea control power. Pet owners might want to start dusting their pet's coat or supplementing their pet's diet with brewer's yeast early in the spring, before a major flea problem occurs.
A mix of brewer's yeast with garlic should be avoided. Garlic is toxic to both dogs and cats, with cats being more sensitive to garlic than dogs are. It is possible for either cats or dogs to be allergic to brewer's yeast. If a dog or cat shows signs of an allergic reaction on its skin after it eats brewer's yeast for fleas, then use of the yeast should be stopped. Dog and cat owners need to be careful about how much yeast they give their pets, since overdosing with Brewer's yeast can cause skin allergy.
Another way to use brewer's yeast for fleas is to allow 0.25 cup (59 ml) of the yeast to dissolve in 1 quart (946 ml) water. This solution can be put into a spray bottle and sprayed onto a pet's coat. For maximum effectiveness, the mixture should be combed or rubbed into the fur.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Notre Dame re-signs Muffet McGraw
Notre Dame has rewarded longtime coach Muffet McGraw with a historic contract extension after she led the Fighting Irish to consecutive national runner-up finishes, signing her to a 10-year deal through the 2021-22 season.
"We are thrilled to be able to enter into a decade-long agreement with Muffet, who is not only the face of Notre Dame women's basketball, but increasingly, the face of women's basketball, given all that she's accomplished," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Monday on the school's website.
In addition to national championship game appearances the past two seasons, McGraw has led Notre Dame to the 2001 national title and another runner-up finish in 1997. She is one of three active NCAA Division I coaches to take one team to at least three national title games.
According to the statement, the deal is believed to be one of the longest contract agreements in NCAA women's basketball history.
Notre Dame hired McGraw as head coach in May 1987.
McGraw, 56, is 591-215 in 25 seasons with the Irish and her Notre Dame teams have made 19 NCAA tournament appearances, including 17 in a row. She is 679-256 overall, including five seasons at Lehigh.
"It's a privilege to be able to represent Notre Dame, in what is certainly the greatest job in the world, for another 10 years," McGraw, 56, said in the statement on the website. "I've been so blessed to work with some incredibly talented people, both in terms of the student-athletes that have come through Notre Dame, and the coaches and staff who have been part of our success through the years.
"We also have a tremendous administration, and I'm grateful to both Jack and Father Jenkins for their support," McGraw said of Notre Dame's AD and its president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, "as well as the support of our amazing fans, who are absolutely the best in the country."
Notre Dame's 2012 season ended with an 80-61 loss to Brittney Griner-led Baylor, which capped a perfect 40-0 season for the Lady Bears.

Colts honor Coach Pagano with CHUCKSTRONG campaign
The Indianapolis Colts are giving fans an opportunity to show their support for head coach Chuck Pagano, following Monday's announcement of his leukemia diagnosis.
The team announced in addition to focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they will also raise awareness for leukemia research through the CHUCKSTRONG campaign.
Beginning at 4 p.m. Friday, fans can support Pagano by purchasing a special edition CHUCKSTRONG t-shirt, which can be purchased online through the Colts Pro Shop. On Saturday, Oct. 6, the $20 t-shirts will be available in both Colts Pro Shop locations. Proceeds will benefit leukemia research at the IU Simon Cancer Center.
Next Tuesday, limited edition CHUCKSTRONG campaign posters will decorate Central Indiana Huntington Bank branches and Colts Blue Friday events.
The Indiana Blood Center has also teamed up with the Colts for the campaign, encouraging fans to donate blood, which help restore strength in cancer patients after a chemotherapy treatment. Fans can give blood at any of the nine donor center from Oct. 9-13. While there, donors will be provided with cards to write a personal message to Coach Pagano.
CHUCKSTRONG wristbands will be given to fans in exchange for a donation outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate at the Colts' October 21 game against the Cleveland Browns. Fans are asked to wear the bands in honor of Coach Pagano throughout the remainder of the season.
Fans who do not attend the Oct. 21 game can still donate to the cause by sending a check payable to the Indianapolis Colts Foundation with CHUCKSTRONG in the check memo. They can be mailed to the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center, Attn: Colts Foundation, PO Box 535000, Indianapolis, IN 46253.
Fans looking to send cards and notes of encouragement to Coach Pagano and his family should send them to: Indianapolis Colts, Attn: Chuck Pagano, PO Box 535000, Indianapolis, IN 46253. Neither flowers nor balloons can be accepted – a donation to the efforts listed above should be made in lieu of flowers or balloons.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

Sometimes we write for others....sometimes we write for ourselves. I am making an effort to write for my soul.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
A very famous person( my father) quotes, " A man is known by two things, his shoes and his wife(some contrast , I say) . Whereas a woman is known by the 4 walls she transforms into a home."
I agree to it. But somewhat.
I was never that clean and efficient at house chores and being jobless certainly gives my folks an opportunity to tread me down that path ,every second they get!!
I grunt,
I roar with anger, and even
Beg with my hands cupped,
But NO!!
My father is hell bent on making me a purrfect housewife ( My Dog just yawned at this!!!)
"There are maids and butlers for all this," I argue.
My father now puts his king size one liner at me at which I always fail,"Child, would you want your husband to go out and eat , especially when the restaurant lady is sooooooo ahhh jaw droppingly good looking."
"Well let her be good looking atleast, since you're not,SWEETY!!"
OOPS!! That was my mum.
So yeah, housework bores me ! It kinda resembles the prison of guantanamo bay for me especially when im not in the mood for it.
That broom with it's ghoulish and prickly whatever, the vaccuum like a scary anaconda, sucking everything in and to wipe it all out- the wet lazy mop.
Imagine those dirty dishes with half eaten slice, bread crumbs half chewed and half soaked in saliva or that spinach still wet with your …. NEVERMIND ( hate it when people dont empty their plates after dinner)
I AM NEVER GOING TO WASH DISHES!! Period.
Aaahhh for the pain of a housewife. I know too, ill face this wrath very soon but ill make sure of one thing atleast, that,
My House is never next to a good- looking lady's restaurant!! Tee-hee :)

This paper shines a spotlight on a major root cause of project failure in every organisation-requirements. And while the first reaction might be to place blame on the requirements author, the Business Analyst, this is incorrect. The REAL root causes run much deeper than that.

- Travel to Arles from Aix-en-Provence and sightsee independently with an Arles Passport
- Explore top city attractions at leisure in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Arles
- Enjoy entry to incredible Roman ruins and monuments like the Cryptoportiques, Arles Ampitheatre and the Constantin Baths
- Visit two famous Arles museums: Museum Réattu and Arles Museum of Antiquity
- Relax in the thermal Constantin Baths
- Round-trip transport by luxury minibus from Aix-en-Provence to Arles included
What You Can Expect
After an hour on the road, your driver will drop you right in the center of the town, leaving you with your Arles Passport and map – everything you need for four hours of independent sightseeing!
Perhaps start with a visit to Arles Ampitheater (Les Arènes), and step back in time to the early 2nd century AD when gladiators would fight to entertain a 20,000-strong crowd. Its thick stone walls are remarkably still intact, and history is indeed set in its stone. Its smaller counterpart, Arles Roman Theatre, is located just across the street, so head inside and see the pillars and columns that comprise the ruins of this intriguing attraction.
Tempted by the lure of more incredible remains? Visit Place du Forum to see where the heart of the city was during the days of the Roman Empire. Don't let the buzzing modern cafes fool you, for the ruins are craftily concealed below ground in the Cryptoportiques – a tantalizing network of cellars that were carved out in the 1st century BC; head underground to check them out! Back above ground, you can visit the Constantin Baths (Thermes de Constantin) to see the ruins of the thermal baths that were built for Roman Emperor Constantin.
Your Arles Passport also includes entry to St-Trophime Church – a true Romanesque beauty – and two museums: Museum Réattu and Arles Museum of Antiquity. See colorful canvases depicting modern-day Provencal life in the former, and an enchanting array of antiquities in the latter.
Meet your driver at the pre-arranged time, and return to Aix in the comfort of your air-conditioned minibus. Your tour finishes back at the start point in the early evening.

Amazing Roman buildings with Van Gogh interest sites. The guide was wonderful providing key information. A great trip.
November 2013
Renault was our tour guide. Very nice and charming. Provided a brief overview, but our group found ourselves a little lost navigating Arles on our own.On Monday the Contemporary Museum is closed, so that was somewhat dissapointing. Overall, nice to see where Van Gogh painted many of his famous works.

A Little Love for Lance Ball and our OLine
Definitely their best proformence of the season. It's been said that they are a better run blocking unit than a pass blocking unit and there's no doubt after last weekend. I'll bet those guys loved the game plan. But we'll clearly have to pass more this week to be effective.
I honestly think JJ could be better in this offense. Hopefully we get to see him a little Thursday.
Lance Ball was nothing special. I liked that he fell forward on every run, but he doesnt bring anything to the table that 30 other backup RBs wouldnt bring. Hell Knowshon almost had as many yards as Ball on 4 carries.
I am excited to see what JJ can do - he seems to be a more explosive runner than Lance.
Lulz - just seeing the title : 'Lance Ball Highlights' just tells you how much pwnage was going on last Sunday without even looking at the vid!
Leave it to McD... he drafted a couple of lineman knowing he wanted to pass the ball 50+ times a game. Turns out they arn't real good at pass blocking, but their a bunch of animals when running the ball... Go figure.
Regardless... Good to see something finally working on the field.
Go Lance GO!!!!
Footnotes. Lance Ball appears to be in good position to make the roster as the No. 5 running back. He is getting his share of reps — after Ronnie Hillman, Montee Ball, Knowshon Moreno and fullback Jacob Hester get theirs. Also, Ball is a special-teams mainstay.
Read more: Matt Prater is making adjustments to his mechanics - The Denver Post http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci...#ixzz2aW0PBDbR
I am sure he is feeling really good about being slotted as the #5 running back. Yeah, job security is just around the first corner and he is rounding it.....really wide.
Did we even keep five last year? I thought it was four.
Willis, Knowshon, Hillman and Ball right?
We only brought Hester in after Willis went on IR I believe.
I don't see us keeping him when we could ensure we keep all four TE's (Green would get nabbed quick - probably by the Pats) or prevent Duck Nacho from getting nabbed by another team if he keeps performing the way he has in camp thus far.
Add to the fact we can keep a young RB like CJ on our PS for an emergency and Willis is still out there as an FA if **** hits the fan injury wise.
Willis will be signed by someone before the season starts. Unless his money demands are too much.

The Bruins battled to beat the Penguins 2-1 in double OT and take a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Matt Kalman of CBSBostonSports.com joined 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher & Rich to discuss the big win by the Bruins, the injury to Gregory Campbell, Tuukka Rask's performance and the future of this series.
Halfway through the second period of Game 3 the Bruins lost Gregory Campbell after he took a slapshot to the right leg from Penguins' Evgeni Malkin. Play continued and Campbell had to stay on the ice due to the Bruins being unable to clear the puck.
Campbell had to remain on the ice for 50 seconds before he got the chance to get off the ice. After the injury to Campbell the Bruins played with just 10 forwards as Shawn Thornton served a too many men penalty then skated to the bench. How were the Bruins able to have more energy in the overtime periods than a team with a full bench?
Does this win mean that the Penguins are done in this series? Will they be able to win Game 4 and avoid a sweep?

CHAPTER TWO: Life With Keta
Jake and I were walking our bikes instead of
pedaling. We wanted to talk quietly, which we could do
easily when walking. Jake looked a bit flabbergasted.
"So, let me get this straight," he said, "You dad
wants me to walk up to Keta and ask her why she was
swimming naked in the pond last night. Just ask her
"That is correct," I replied.
Jake stared at me for awhile and I know this sounds
vain but from the look in his eyes I think he was admiring
how pretty I was. Yah sure, that sounds bad but he had a
gleam that was fairly evident. I couldn't help but think
that the more time he spent with me, the more he liked
me. Call me crazy but I could sense this. He shrugged his
shoulders. "Ok," was all he said.
"A man of few words," I said with a small smile, "In
many girls' eyes that would make you perfect." Jake didn't
respond but grinned for a good five seconds. "Hey, what
happened to your finger?" I asked while pointing to Jake's
right index finger.
Jake examined his finger for a brief moment.
"Cheap guitar string. I was tuning and the piece of crap
snapped and slit my finger a bit. Can hardly press down
on the new string at all, it'll probably take a week before I
can play properly."
I think I had a stunned expression on my face that
caused Jake to mimic me. "You play the guitar?" I

Quick, Convenient, and Affordable! Some call it the best VALUE in town, others the FASTEST car wash in town. If your car is dirty and you're in hurry, there's no need to worry, Super-Suds Express is going to make your car shine! At Super-Suds Express we understand that our customers have busy schedules, demand the highest quality, and want a great value. With car wash options that take less than 3 minutes, start at $5 and come with a FREE self service vacuum, and using the most advanced equipment and chemicals in the area, we strive to meet our customers' needs every day. It is our mission to be Tallahassee's #1 Car Wash!
You first encounter an ATM like touch screen auto cashier where you can select one of our three was packages: The Basic, The Deluxe or The ULTIMATE! We accept cash, credit cards and quarters and the transaction is normally complete in less than one minute. Change is returned in $1 bills so you don't have to fill your cup holder with quarters. Then, a futuristic gate opens prompting you to pull forward to the track where you are directed by the attendant. Following a few brief instructions, you ride inside your vehicle through the tunnel while whirling, patriotic red, white and blue brushes do the dirty work. The equipment is a mixture of high pressure spray nozzles, foam brushes and scratch free soft cloth, producing a super clean driving machine. The biodegradable chemicals are specifically formulated to gently but effectively remove the dirt, grime, bugs and build up that cover your vehicle after normal driving. The equipment is state of the art, with even the tire dressing put on automatically while you enjoy the three minute ride through the tunnel, never leaving your car. After your wash, use one of our 18 vacuum stations to clean the interior. We have a variety of one time use interior cleaning products for sale as well, to keep your vehicle's appearance at its best.
How Green are We?
Did you know that washing a car with a water hose at your home and leaving the hose running can use as much as 100 gallons of our precious drinking water supply? Did you know that the soaps you wash down the drive way and into the storm drain go directly to our public lakes and streams and damage our local ecosystem? That is why at Super-Suds Express we RECYCLE our water. Over 70% of the water used to wash each vehicle is collected, stored and treated in underground tanks where solids, oils and contaminants are removed and used again in the wash process. We also CONDITION our water which reduces the amount of chemicals needed to produce a clean car reducing packaging costs, over the road transportation and chemicals entering the sewer system. By using less chemicals and capturing 100 percent of the water used in the wash tunnel and sending it to local waste water treatment facilities, we are helping Tallahassee become a more environmentally friendly community.

Arensky was born in Novgorod on 12 July 1861 and became one of the most successful composers and pianists in nineteenth-century Russia. Initially taught by his mother, an amateur pianist, and encouraged by his father, a doctor and keen cellist, he entered the St Petersburg Conservatory in 1879.
His composition teacher at the Conservatory was Rimsky-Korsakov who must have been impressed by the young Arensky as he entrusted his student with a share of preparing his vocal score of The Snow Maiden. In later years he revised his opinion of Arensky's talent, and unfortunately it is Rimsky-Korsakov's cold pronouncement in his memoirs My Musical Life that 'he will soon be forgotten' which has lent ammunition to Arensky's detractors. In fact Arensky was enormously successful and respected in his lifetime and it was probably this very success which soured relations with his former teacher.
Nineteenth-century musical Russia was full of cliques and intrigues. In 1883 Balakirev took over the immensely important and well-paid post of Director of the Imperial Chapel, and Rimsky-Korsakov became his assistant. Meanwhile the young Arensky, having graduated with the Gold Medal for composition from St Petersburg Conservatory, was appointed Professor of Harmony and Counterpoint at the Moscow Conservatory. All might have been well had not Rimsky-Korsakov later fallen out with Balakirev. Rimsky-Korsakov became so unhappy at the Imperial Chapel that in November 1893 he resigned his position. The stress of working with the overbearing Balakirev had made him depressed and ill; also his daughter had died only a few months before, and this period marked one of the lowest points in the composer's life. The following year, however, Balakirev retired as Director and on his recommendation Arensky was offered the post. It is from this point that Rimsky-Korsakov seems to have decided that Arensky was second-rate!
Whilst a Professor at the Moscow Conservatory Arensky won many friends and admirers, notably Tchaikovsky and Taneyev. Among his pupils were Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Glière and Gretchaninov. As a composer he had a steady stream of successes, most notably his first opera Son na Volge (A Dream on the Volga). His appointment as Director of the Imperial Chapel lent him prestige, and on his retirement in 1901 he was given a special pension of 6000 roubles a year. The rest of his life was spent composing and giving concerts; he was successful as both a pianist and a conductor. For most of his life he had been a heavy drinker and gambler. Finally, in February 1906, with his health undermined, he contracted tuberculosis and died at Terioki in Finland.

I don't want anyone to prejudge me or think exactly one thing. They don't know me. Before I realized I was gay it was uncomfortable because I didn't really feel like it was me. I felt like oh tomboy was more comfortable for me whatever, but I definitely feel like I sort of opened up, and I have both of that now. I still am like a tomboy. I kind of have that athletic more masculine side, I feel like I have a feminine side as well. It's a big part of my vibe. Finding out how to be that way, be gay, be who am I, be athletic and be a tomboy at the same time. (ESPN The Magazine 2014 Body Issue)
Great quote. Thanks Megan! You described me and my life perfectly!

The Kermode Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) is a sub species of the American Black Bear. It lives deep within the temperate rainforest in British Columbia, Canada and is often referred to as the Spirit Bear. The creamy-white coloring of the bears coat is not caused by albinism, but a recessive allele. Its estimated that there are between 400-1000 individuals in the wild, the bear owing its survival to the indigenous people who featured the bears ghost-like appearance in their mythology and never hunted the bear or mentioned its existent to early fur trappers.

Sun Dec 4, 2011 2:31 pm Terrence Johnson was forced from Sunday's game against the Patriots with a forearm injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: His return is questionable. Johnson plays in the slot on nickel and dime packages and behind Jacob Lacey in the Colts base defense. Chris Rucker will replace him in the lineup.
Fri Sep 30, 2011 10:11 am According to the Indianapolis Star, there is "every chance" that Terrence Johnson will replace LCB Jacob Lacey in the base defense this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: After taking over nickelback duties from Justin Tryon, Johnson played 62 snaps inside and at left cornerback in Week 3. "As of (Thursday), it looks like I'm probably the starter," Johnson said. "We'll see how it shakes out by game time."

Loveland senior pitcher Olivia Pifer has verbally committed to Walsh University, according to Loveland softball coach Mike Rapp.
Walsh is a Division II program in Stark County.
Pifer is a four-year starter for Loveland High School and all-FAVC and all-ECC the past two seasons.
Pifer bats in the No. 3 spot for the Tigers.
"Olivia is one of the hardest working and dedicated softball players I have had the pleasure of coaching," Rapp said. "I think Walsh is a great fit for Olivia. Given Olivia's continued work and improvement, combined with the other six returning starters, we have set our goals very high for this spring, as we defend our ECC championship."

Introducing Fitocracy HeroTweet
It's been almost exactly a year since Richard and I started working on Fitocracy. In reflecting on all that's happened, I felt like sharing the latest on what's been going on and a peak at what to expect in the future.
One Year In
It's been a wild ride so far. Thirteen months ago, Richard and I started working on Fitocracy with the vision of turning fitness into a video game where users could level themselves up in real life. We figured that using the same addictive qualities of games that had kept us glued to TV screens for years could also be applied for a greater purpose: to improve people's health and fitness.
I am pleased to say that thirteen months later, the idea behind Fitocracy has resonated with quite a lot of people. In fact, last week we hit an incredible milestone: over 100,000 people are now a part of the Fitocracy community. We were amazed when we broke 10,000 just 5 months ago so you can imagine how blown away we are at the growth of the community to date. Word has continued to spread about us and it's showing no sign of slowing down.
Somehow, we've managed to move beyond our friends and family politely nodding their heads when we say we're running a startup to the point where they've seen us on places like CNN. And that's not the only place we've been popping up. We've also been written about (or sometimes made fun of ;)) in places like: XKCD,Penny Arcade, TechCrunch, and The NY Observer.
It's still weird for us to see our names on some of these places.
Fitocracy Hero
We've been hard at work trying to make sure Fitocracy is the most motivating and addictive way to reach your fitness goals. An important part of delivering the best experience possible is to figure out what key features are most valuable to the user. To help us do that quicker, we are introducing the Fitocracy Hero account. For just $4.99 a month, users receive a number of exclusive new benefits, including:
- Titles: A brand new set of unlockables that you can earn for particular fitness milestones. Want to be known as Edwin, The Bold? You'll have to hit level 10. Want to carry the title of Darius, The Disciplined? Then off to obtain the "Get Low" achievement with you!
- Copy workouts: Ever see someone else's workout and think, "I'd really like to try that?" Now you can. Just click the "Copy" icon next to any workout and set the date you'd like to do that workout. We'll send you an email with that workout the morning of that workout date.
- Premium stream visibility: Fitocracy Heroes enjoy enhanced visibility in the stream. When others hover over your name, they will see your level, your title, and can instantly follow you without having to visit your profile page.
- Exclusive early access: Supporting us as a Hero means the world to us. To show our gratitude, we will give you exclusive access to new features that you request before they're released to the rest of Fitocracy. Coming soon: GRAPHS
- Support the community: As Fitocracy continues to grow, our variable costs get bigger and bigger and we're not paying ourselves much of anything at all. Becoming a Fitocracy Hero helps us feed ourselves and cover expenses. Plus, it's a lot easier to build new features when we're not worried about becoming homeless.
By becoming a Fitocracy Hero, you'll be directly helping us speed up development and deliver the features you want. To learn more on how to become a Fitocracy Hero, just click here.
We also want to make it clear that even though Fitocracy Hero is a paid account, we will never compromise the Fitocracy experience for our free users. We know how much it sucks to see a community split between free and paid users so we are making sure Fitocracy remains awesome for everyone =).
-Brian, Richard, and Daniel

Countdown to camp: Day 10 – New coaches
- 6:00 am Wednesday, July 16th, 2014 by D. Orlando Ledbetter
FLOWERY BRANCH — The start of the Falcons training camp is 10 days away.
We'll start our countdown by looking at the new assistant coaches. Mike Tice, Wade Harman and Bryan Cox were added to the staff this offseason.
Tice was named the offensive line coach and Harman was added as his assistant. They replaced Pat Hill and Paul Dunn. Tice is the third offensive line coach under head coach Mike Smith.
Cox was hired to replace Ray Hamilton, who was on Smith's original staff and had also worked with him in Jacksonville.
With Mike Munchak available, Tice, 55, was a curious selection to help [More]

Do you cook too much?
Cooking is therapeutic for me- when I'm my most stressed, all I want to do is spend the day cooking. Sometimes it's meatballs, sometimes its cookies, sometimes its 4x pound cakes... but nothing makes me happier than getting up early, cleaning the kitchen, making the husband drive me to the grocery store (no small feat with a motorcycle in nyc) and then cooking all day.
The trouble is... it's just the two of us. We are friends with another couple who live close by and who we frequently host last-minute, but sometimes it's just too much food. As it stands today, I want to make two different batches of cookies, risotto and try a new lemon glazed poundcake recipe today. That's not even including dinner! I bring food to work, to my fave local bartenders, and to friends but I'm starting to think I have a problem ;)
Luckily, my husband loves to eat, but I'm wondering if anyone else cooks this much for pleasure instead of for necessity?
I do the same thing. Cooking is my hobby, a stress reducer, something I enjoy doing. It is also just the two of us.
While no motorcycle in NYC. We live on a farm in a very rural area, so the nearest grocery store is over 10 miles away. My days start early with feeding the goats and mini equine, pig, chickens, guinea fowl, dogs and cats. Then a shower and a trip to the store, if needed. I often spend the entire afternoon cooking, even if we don't need the food.
Today's plan is to make some bread plus three kinds of soup from the turkey stock I made yesterday. Freeze some and give some to neighbors. We have just two neighbors within a mile of the farm. One is a recently divorced single father of two young teens and the other is an 80-year old widow. So both of our neighbors love getting the results of my cooking frenzies.
The guys at the local feed store love seeing us pull up as it often means they are getting a free lunch or an afternoon snack.
re: Davwud
We do, and I have :) I love feeding people in any capacity- I spent 3 years volunteering at a soup kitchen every Saturday morning. I've moved a bit father from the location now so I make it less often, but that is a great idea. Sometimes it's nice to cook something new, though (the soup kitchen menu is not exactly exciting.)
re: CarmenR
So make it more exciting.
re: Davwud
ha, unfortunately most of the menus are pre-determined (the same every week) and the ingredients aren't really up for change as they are largely donated. Meatloaf, fresh salad and a soup are generally on the menu (usually vegetable soup) but sometimes we will have a sandwich or cake if we can get the ingredients. There's also a LOT of cabbage donated for whatever reason. If i had the money, I would donate fixings to make that into slaw or something but alas- ingredients for 400+ meals prepared in a kitchen the size of a walk-in closet is more of a science than an art ;) We are always proud of the food, though.
re: CarmenR
Well I understand that but how about switching things up a bit. Make a turkey meatloaf. Or Meatloaf sandwiches. Just to refresh things. Make them more, you know, exciting.
re: Davwud
Hey, if suddenly the kitchen was stocked with a few hundred pounds of ground turkey instead of ground beef, I'm sure they would gladly make turkey meatloaf. And if there is bread for sandwiches, again- happy to oblige. Sadly, the soup kitchen pantry is not well stocked.
re: CarmenR
Ya, I guess. Just spit ballin' here.
re: CarmenR
Hi Carmen,
You could throw in a twist by making Italian Wedding Soup which is based on meat and green veggies. Meatballs and cabbage are common. If dry beans, lentils, rice, or pasta are donated they'd work in it also.
I know you have limited resources, just an idea for you.
re: Davwud
A soup kitchen is a great idea. I also used to volunteer at one, but we moved to a new state. I read about a new soup kitchen that opened in town a few months ago.
re: c oliver
Have you considered smokers anonymous
re: scubadoo97
Truly! Our Latino market has these HUGE (25#) whole bone-in pork butts. I sooo wanted one (or more). And they had roasted a whole pig and I was wondering if it would fit :)
re: c oliver
What other veggies have you tried smoking? That whole tomato thread got me wondering about this.
re: nothingswrong
Nothing else yet. Gotta do some research for the next time. I did smoke some salt but didn't leave it in long enough so it wasn't anything special. Will re-smoke it next time.
re: c oliver
Please do report back if you try anything else! I'd love to know how veggies turn out.
re: nothingswrong
Will do. Over on that board :)
re: nothingswrong
I just saw a cooking show where the chef smoked mushrooms....... Which sounds insane and awesome
re: Ttrockwood
Ooh, liking that idea!
re: c oliver
I get that way every time I buy a big bag.
as long as budget permits and the food isn't going to waste, what's the problem? when i had more down-time last year i did lots of baking, even though the b/f and i rarely ate any of it. i gave some to neighbors and brought some to work.
everybody was happy.
I bake too much but I usually cut recipes in half so it helps.
re: youareabunny
Me too. I can easily unload a half-batch worth in one visit to my boyfriend's employees and they eat it on the spot. Then they ask if I'm making something new tomorrow.
Sometimes....cooking is also my hobby; I love to cook for other people (when I'm in the mood). There's only two of us in the house now and my fiancé loves to eat so there's not a problem as far as that's concerned. The problem lies in that he is not a chowhound. He is not as adventurous with food as I am so while I slip in dishes he's not familiar with, I mostly cook comfort foods for him because it's what he likes.
When I want to cook something I know he won't like, I have to alter a meal. If I normally make a meat and two sides, it'll be three sides, etc. On the upside, since we've been together, he has expanded his palate so that's a plus.
I can spend a whole day cooking only to put most of it in the freezer for what I call "hard times", meaning those days I don't feel like cooking.
re: fldhkybnva
What kills me in my situation is that my coworkers are NOT adventurous at ALL. We have a friend who always bring north of 5lbs of EXCELLENT cheese to our dinner parties (much of it is stinky!) so I brought a bunch into my office to share with coworkers after making everything I could think with it. I didn't bring anything too offensive smelling, however the entire 90 person floor took one look at it, turned up their noses and promptly deemed it inedible. Meanwhile, they'll chow down on cabot cheddar cubes all day long and will proudly call themselves "foodies."
:( Hounds, save my office!! I live in NYC, for goodness sake... and not that everyone has to love stinky cheese, but really- not a single soul out of an entire floor?! They do like my salted caramel cookies, though if I told them "salt" was the secret ingredient, I fear most of them would never forgive me...
re: CarmenR
I know that feeling, I've had coworkers ask to see food pictures and then scoff at seared tuna or other things which seem pretty ordinary to me but apparently are not. I guess you'll have to hide the good stuff and then let them know later. Throw some anchovies in there :)
I overcook- i seem to be incapable of making less than 4-6 servings of anything- and i live alone! But that's why my freezer is full of homemade meals and my friends and coworkers benefit as well.
Why don't you host a regular dinner party? Just a casual night with friends- it could be a creative outlet for you and i'm sure your social circle would appreciate it.
Or, you could be a hostess for eatwith events since you are in nyc- really fun idea:
re: Chinon00
I say this in the most respectful way possible...you need to get her some help. I mean seriously, your cooking too much is one thing but complaining about you cleaning after? Next thing you know she'll be griping about having too much money when you win the next $500 million powerball.
Dude...you're in trouble...
re: Chinon00
I always make enough for an army, even though I am usually cooking for two. So does Mr Rat - this is one of the reasons we hit it off in the first place. And yes, we always seem to have a dish to bring to parties :)
Besides, you're all going to be laughing out of the other side of your mouths when the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE gets here and we have enough food to last for months. Years, maybe.
re: ratgirlagogo
in the zombie apocalypse our freezers will no longer be functioning...
re: hotoynoodle
That's why you need a generator if you're going to be REALLY prepared...
re: Kajikit
That's right. In our fortified underground lair.
re: ratgirlagogo
aka wine cellar!
Why don't you contact Meals on Wheels (they provide meals to elderly, handicapped, and otherwise needy folks) and offer to help prepare meals, or portions of meals?
That way you could cook to your heart's desire, help out a charity and those locally in need, and its all in the interest of community service (and who cares if you do it too much)...
It would probably be less regimented as to menu choices than a soup kitchen since the plates of food are delivered to the recipients' homes, one at a time, and nobody knows (as far as I know) what anybody else got...
re: ePressureCooker
there are regulations in place about serving home-cooked meals to "strangers".
food has to come from inspected kitchens -- especially considering many of the recipients may have challenged immune systems.
re: hotoynoodle
Okay, then she could contact a local church. I'm sure there are plenty of churches that either have programs to feed the hungry or perhaps have parishoners on a small fixed income who could use and appreciate some extra meals. No doubt there are lots of folks who have lost their SNAP benefits or now will be unable to receive them in the future, who would greatly appreciate some extra Chowhound cooked fare.
You guys make me laugh. I like to cook too, but I need to eat low carb most of the time, and it is hard to find inspiring recipes to cook a lot of.
However, this holiday season I intend to bake cookies, even if I have to go house to house to get rid of most of them.
I miss holiday baking the most.
I do like making soup and chili. I keep thinking I need ask family members over for chili, and then i remember--girl, you've fed them chili over and over again. You need to feed them something else.
So, I roasted a chicken.
At any rate, I relate to all of this, even if my output is not as large a some of yours. Cook on!
re: sueatmo
re: sueatmo
I came across this blog the other day- all low carb recipes- and a good sized number of baking recipes:
re: Ttrockwood
Thanks a bunch!
I love CH!
Other people knit, we here cook. The suggestion to cut recipes in half whenever possible is an excellent one.
I've gotten somewhat better about not preparing too much, after I started making a weekly lunches & supper menu list and tracking planned/actual. The reality is that if I make too much of a dish the word "leftovers" shows up in the squares far more often than I'd like.
However, the stack of recipes I want to try keeps getting taller and the groceries purchased in support of the stack are filling my cupboards.
I've intentionally discouraged my husband from getting us a separate freezer. Lack of freezer space helps (somewhat) keep me from over-buying / excess cooking.
re: MidwesternerTT
I love projects and new ideas so I also find it hard to resist testing out something new even as my fridge and cabinets bust at the seams. And, I also have pondered a chest freezer because I like to buy steak in bulk and really I just like to hoard things but I'm sure it'd be a frightening sight within a week.
re: fldhkybnva
I bought a chest freezer for the pork and beef I buy from a farmer (the initial sticker price is a shock, but it's all works out to about $2/lb) and there is left over room for the corn, applesauce, and the likes.
I learned the art of preserving this year and need shelves for that stuff. I'm moving from the cooking too much to the being prepared to cook. Farmers markets and seasonal things are what I'm getting into so that when it IS time to cook, it's the best I can get
re: HeBrew
We're looking to get a chest freezer so we can buy local lambs and goats. I fear filling it with 'other' things :(
re: c oliver
I imagine I'd fill it with everything. Even now I can't stop myself if I see a good cut of meat at the store. I'd be in trouble with an entire freezer.
re: fldhkybnva
Meat, yes. But many years ago we had a behemoth that we got at a yard sale. When we finally cleaned it out, it was ridiculous. Especially the freezer-burned loaves of bread. We did buy a rack of lamb at Costco today as we ate the last one on Thursday. But nothing else! Too much meat. And as lagatta, we're older and not eating as much as not as much spontaneous entertaining so we really DO NOT need to stockpile so much :)
re: fldhkybnva
We have a freezer because we buy our meats by the halves (and chickens as whole birds from a local farmer). In our house, the freezer requires brutal management. If i let my guard down, my husband would fill it with all sorts of "treasures." Some people are disciplined about using those bits and pieces for soup, stock, etc. I am not that cook.
re: cleobeach
That describes us also! I really want one so those large purchases have somewhere to be. I dearly want the local meats and my current option is to just buy (at a premium price) at our co-op.
re: c oliver
I would recommend an upright. I grew up with chest freezers and things tend to get lost. With an upright, I can see almost everything. I put like items together so if I am looking at the ground beef, I know it is ground beef all the way back to the freezer wall.
re: c oliver
We broke down and bought a small chest freezer a few months ago. We have a strict rule that only meat, packed in vacuum sealed bags and clearly labeled with the date are allowed in the freezer. Right now it is full of venison.
All of the other "stuff" like leftovers and fruits/veggies that I buy from local farmers when in season, must fit in the freezer compartments of the two refrigerators.
I raise goats, c oliver...
re: Springhaze2
Hope I didn't offend when talking about goats in the freezer then!
We have a really, really small upright. It was supposed to fit in a spare bedroom closet but we kinda forgot about the chalet roof that slopes down in the back of said close. So it's actually "in" the room. But it's too small for what I'm talking about. I'd actually prefer a good-sized upright but I can get a chest one for around $150 while the uprights are significantly more.
And, yes, to vacuum sealing and labeling. I also keep various stocks and broths in the little upright. Freeze flat and then stand them up in shoeboxes and/or on the door.
I don't cook too often - fresh, homemade food is better for you than anything except very high-end catering with quality ingredients and no dodgy additives.
However, as a person currently living alone, in my late 50s, with an elderly cat, I really have to cut amounts even more. I don't waste a lot, but I hate wasting any good food. My appetite simply isn't as large as it used to be, which is a good thing. And while there is no shortage of friends, they are a bit less inclined to pop in spontaneously than when we were all younger.
Carmen, I live in a densely-populated urban area as well, in Montréal. I can walk to Jean-Talon Market, several "ethnic" and speciality shops, and at least three supermarkets. When there isn't snow and ice, in particular ice, I ride my bicycle.
I am a long-time volunteer in community associations, but it is hard for me to commit to working at a soup kitchen, as I'm a freelancer with very irregular hours.
re: lagatta
lagatta...I just can not eat the amounts I did when I was a bit younger either. Montreal is on my bucket list so exquisite:)The kitty sounds adorable.
re: MamasCooking
Kitty - his name is Renzo - is 18 years old. He is black, and half-Siamese. A talker.
re: lagatta
I agree, sounds adorable! Our family cat Truffles was 20 years old when he departed us, and now my house is full of energy from the wonderful Shiitake, a 7 month old kitten. They are great companions and he keeps me company since I'm alone a lot in this house :)
re: EWSflash
If you are "sad" about it, I do hope that everything is all right with you.
I used to and then gave it all away to my adult son and his housemates....turkey dinners...prime rib dinners.....cookies...cupcakes....stew....soups ....breads. Not now though since I caught on that cooking like that means dishes and hours of clean up:)
Keep on cooking if you love it. I don't cook too much but then I'm cooking for 4 and we can mow through large quantities fairly quickly.
If you really find you have too much, join a church/synagogue/institution of choice. UU or ethical society works fine if you aren't interested in the god part of it. Those groups can serve as a very effective mechanism for consuming your extras. Someone is always in need/had a baby/spouse is ill and welcomes good eats.
re: tcamp
I volunteered last year at the local "political party of my choice" county headquarters. Just one afternoon a week. The non-volunteer staff were young people who were living on caffeine and sugar. I almost immediately starting bring "real food" for them. They scarfed it down. So we all won. I got to cook and they got to eat. And I'm sure their parents were happy also :)
I was looking at my freezer and thinking the same thing a few days ago, but there is an ice storm heading here in the next 24-48 hours and so I'm thankful for being prepared. Tonight I'll just make sure I have fresh vegetables, fruits & cat food...and plenty of wine :)
I live alone and don't have anyone to cook for, so I've finally figured out how to portion frozen meals into 2 or 3 servings. I love popping an uncooked meatloaf or lasagna into the oven for a very easy dinner with little cleanup. Soups & chilis are great for lunch during the work week, and muffins are great for breakfast. All of these things are so convenient coming out of my freezer. I'll get on a roll when ingredients are on sale and cook a bunch of stuff in advance.
So, to answer your initial question, you are not alone!
