On the lowest two-sided cell in affine Weyl groups
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Bremke and Xi determined the lowest two-sided cell for affine Weyl groups with unequal parameters and showed that it consists of at most left cells where is the associated finite Weyl group. We prove that this bound is exact. Previously, this was known in the equal parameter case and when the parameters were coming from a graph automorphism. Our argument uniformly works for any choice of parameters.

Demi Lovato confirms 'X Factor' exit
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Demi Lovato says she's leaving "The X Factor" to focus on her music career.
In an interview after Wednesday's performance show the 21-year-old singer-actress said she wanted to return to her "roots."
Lavoto plans to devote next year to touring and working on a new album.
"X Factor" producer-judge Simon Cowell said working with Lovato has been "fun," but the timing is right for "something new." Cowell would not comment on potential replacements for Lovato.
This is the "Heart Attack" singer's second season on the judging panel of the Fox competition.
Lovato's fourth studio album, "Demi," debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in May.
The season three "X Factor" winner will be announced during Thursday's finale.

So, you've finished school? Well done. It's a massive achievement to stick at anything for 13 years. This may not have occurred to you at the age of 5 when you began school, but it's a big achievement nonetheless.
Now what?
Make or Break
The first few months after you finish school can be a make or break time for your Christian faith.
For some who have grown up in a Christian family, there's a risk that as they graduate from the church youth program, they'll keep walking straight out the door and graduate from Jesus too. It's heart-breaking when that happens.
Conversely, it's massively encouraging to see young people graduate from high school and make godly decisions to keep following Jesus into adulthood.
Blog Series
This blog series is all about the "now what?" question. Most of your life has probably just happened up until this point. I'm not suggesting you have been totally unreflective in how you've lived your life. But, in Australia at least, school is compulsory, so you just roll with it until it's over.
Now what? For some time now, the trajectory of your life has been moving away from your parents' authority, as you increasingly taking responsibility for yourself. Now is a great time to stop and ask yourself some honest questions. Here are six questions every school leaver should ask and answer:
1/ Why am I here?
2/ Who are my real friends?
3/ What do I want to do when I grow up?
4/ How can I make a difference?
5/ What will I fight for?
6/ Where can I find happiness?
How you answer these questions will shape how you live your life. The answers to these questions will answer the "now what?" question.
Now What? Jesus.
I'll be upfront. I believe Jesus should be central to each of these answers. So please follow along if you are a follower of Jesus, or if you're simply curious to see why Jesus really matters.
Follow the series via this tag or check back to this post. I'll also tweet and facebook when new articles go live.

Hello everyone.
So, I'm no stranger to TDR, but have very little experience with Duffy and friends. I was able to snag a couple Gelatoni items for myself a couple weeks ago when they went on sale, but now I have quite a few requests from friends in the states to pick some things up for them. As some of you may know, everything but the plush is sold out!
I've scoured Twitter and the only developments I've seen are "rumors" that the items won't be restocked until September. I will only be in the country until August 16th so I was wondering if anyone here wanted to weigh in and estimate as to when the items will be restocked. As I stated earlier, I have no experience with waiting for Disney Friends to be restocked and have never really been a collector myself so I'd love to hear all of your guesses.
If they really aren't going to be restocked until September, I will certainly go and pick up plushes while they're still available as soon as possible. However, if I have the chance to pick up other merchandise before the 16th, I'm sure my friends would appreciate it.
Any and all opinions will help. Thanks!

targeted for use on the next console generation (whenever that is), Epic President Mike Capps is confident that the product will have "better dominance" than its already ubiquitous Unreal Engine 3. Speaking with Edge, Capps notes the next console generation is "really murky compared to last time," but sees the next-gen tech hanging around the mean streets of the PC market.
Capps also isn't getting antsy about Crytek's CryEngine 3 being the best solution for developers. He explained, "They've positioned themselves strongly as the 'we're gonna be on console, push one button and it's great on all three platforms' engine. ... They've yet to ship an Xbox 360 game and we're five years in. It surprises me that people take them seriously as a crossplatform engine company. We don't know how to compete against a company that hasn't shipped yet. It's all potential, so we'll see." Crytek previously stated its next engine would arrive in 2012.
Now, the real question: will Crytek or Epic even have "next generation consoles" to sell these newfangled engines for in the next couple years?

Falcons tight end pretty sure he's retiring Brad Biggs
Tony Gonzalez would not say he is 100 percent done.
But it looks that way.
The Atlanta Falcons tight end is leaning strongly toward retirement after his team was eliminated in an NFC Championship Game loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Just the week before, Gonzalez won a playoff game for the first time in his decorated 16-year career.
Gonzalez didn't do any crying after he made eight receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown. He knows he can continue playing at a high level if he chooses to do so.
"I don't want nobody out there to feel sorry for me," Gonzalez said, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News. "I've had a great ride. Unbelievable ride. A great career. From the Falcons to the Chiefs, it's been awesome.
"I have no regrets. Not one. And if anybody out there, the media, if you even think about saying that I'm going to have regrets, I'm telling you right now that's not the case with me. I've enjoyed this. And I wouldn't trade it for anything."
The 36-year-old, who previously starred for the Kansas City Chiefs, came up one game short of reaching Super Bowl XLVII. But it doesn't sound like he's thinking about another season. Not at this point.
"I'm not 100 percent sure," he said. "But I'm pretty much positive that this is probably it. You can't keep chasing a Super Bowl."
If this is it for Gonzalez, he will go out as the greatest pass-catching tight end to ever play the game. His records stand alone.

|You've served me well. Sort of.
Chinjury. I bet you've never heard that word too often? The Urban Dictionary says it's applies to when you fall over and hit your chin. Yeah, that's all very good, but I've got a far better variation of it, after something which happened yesterday.
I'd completed a day walk and whilst on my way home, I suddenly realised I'd forgotten to eat any food for the day, other than the world's smallest apple. This was clearly insane, so I stopped at a sleepy country town, found a chicken shop and promptly ordered big. Being way too far from base camp, I decided to plonk myself on a seat and began to inhale the contents crammed into a Styrofoam box.
Firstly, I was intrigued by the chicken which appeared to be circa 1975, due to its distinctly leathery texture. Are you wondering where this is going? Don't worry, I'm about to tell you. I had my food box on my right and I was leaning across to select slabs of food with my bear paw in order to hurl into my mouth. As I was doing this, I felt a twinge on the lower left side of my back. Damn. All that leaning to my right had put my back out. Yes, I officially had a chicken injury, or as we now know, a chinjury. It's a rare condition, but I'm telling you, it now exists.
Now, what's this post about? It's actually a tale of two entries really. The other day I wrote up a full spiel about a pair of boots I'd worn for the past two years. It detailed quite a saga, but upon finishing the entire write-up, my brain was officially somewhere else, as I deleted it by accident. Huh? How does that happen? Don't ask, but all you need to know is I did. I considered re-writing it, but really, it's a tall ask, so I've elected to recall bits of what I wrote, tap them out and get the thing over with.
Was this going to be a gear review? No, not really. It was only a pondering of an ongoing shoe drama, which I've had over the past few years. I'm always amazed how many types of footwear there are, yet none fit me. The main reason is simple. I've got wide feet, but this shouldn't be too much of a problem, as a few companies make such a boot. EXCEPT THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA. Phew, glad to get that off my chest. There's something to be said about living in a country which is miles from anywhere and with no one in it. The market is too small? Who knows.
When I kicked off hiking a few years back, I went for the traditional leather boot. You know what? After five years, the sole might be worn down, but they're still going strong. Yeah, I'm aware they're a bit heavy though, so I've attempted to embrace the lighter footwear train. I've tried them all. Runners, trail runners, Gore-tex, non-Gore-tex, mids, whatever. Some have been great, except for one problem. Most haven't been wide enough and I've compromised the fit. What was the solution? I researched the guts out of the outdoor shoe world.
In the end, the Merrell Moab Ventilator (yes, I'm aware of how dumb that name is) kept coming up. It seemed to fit the bill for me. Lightweight and no wear-in time. I still prefer to have my ankles covered, so that was good, but best of all, they have a wide fit. Oh, but of course the wide fit is not available in Australia. Talk about a ball breaker, but I wasn't deterred. In the end, I took a punt and stumped for a pair online and within a month they duly arrived. How were they? I must say it was quite an enlightening feeling, wearing boots which actually fit, instead of having my feet crushed at the sides.
There was minor problem though. I was wandering around and I noted something. It appeared I could feel every minor object on the ground through the sole. Mm... Investigating further, I examined the insole and concluded they appeared to be an afterthought. They're so thin, I'm sure you could see through them if you held them up to the light.
|Merrell insole. So thin. So light. So crap.
There wasn't much else I could do, other than peruse and then throw them to the shithouse and look for an alternative. Some more pottering and pondering came up with a possible solution. Superfeet. They come in all different types and colours, but in the end I went for the green...
...and they're green. You know what? They're pretty good, as they give a reasonable arch support, which is rigid. I've used them for the past 18 months and they've barely shown any wear or tear, so they must be doing something right.
Ah, but it doesn't end there. A month ago, I spent a day walking on hard sand and at the end, my feet were killing me. I considered whether some custom orthotics might be a proper fix, so upon my return I went to Mr Podiatrist. He decided I should try custom insoles, but not the rigid, top of the range style, as they cost too much. He suggested something called 'Joeys'.
|Joeys orthotic. In a lovely shade of blue.
Oh, but these things were $340, so they're not exactly bargain basement in price. I guess this is cheaper than the stronger type, which Mr Footman says would stitch me up for about $500 - $600. He could be talking crap, but what do I know? I went with his suggestion, but there's a problem. He said the insole would last only 12 months or so, but if the Joeys worked okay, I could get some more rigid ones cast. I'm sure I saw his eyeballs rotating dollar signs and lemons as he said this.
How have they gone so far? Well, I must say, I got them home, read some accompanying instructions, which specified things such as, 'wear them initially for one hour a day' and 'don't wear them in exercise footwear for a month'. I sat back in my chair, pondered what I'd read and promptly ignored it. I stuck them in the Merrell boots and went for a six hour walk. Yeah, I know, there was a potential fiasco on the cards, but in the end, they felt fantastic.
After a number of hours strolling in a dry river bed and stumbling through uneven ground under long grass, my feet were feeling great. Mind you, my feet were, but not the rest of my body, as it was 33 C and everything above the ankles felt like it was going to pack it in. Anyway, the most important aspect is they were a great success. Except things can't be great all the time, can they?
I'd spent six hours wandering and was walking through bush with literally only 200 metres to a road and conclusion of the walk. My feet were feeling great and I was thinking how amazing the Merrell's were when my toe snagged a dead tree branch. The large stick may have been lifeless, but it still packed a bit of mojo as it promptly speared through the leather toe cap of the boot. Is this possible? Yes, of course it is.
Damn. It kinda ruins the shoe, doesn't it? Having a huge hole in the toe? Instead of leather, if only they'd been made the protective toe cap out of the country town chicken I ate yesterday, as I'm sure the branch would have bounced off such leathery meat.
Anyway, are they knackered? Probably, but I'll wear them for a bit longer until they finally fall apart. So, that's where I stand in this shoe saga. A pair of damaged boots, but the feel of the Joeys has opened up a few more possibilities. I have a pair of Asic runners, which have been on the back burner, but their fit isn't too bad, so I'm contemplating sticking the new insoles in them and seeing what happens. One day I'll sort this footwear business out. One day.
So there you have it. The original post had a lot more in it, so deleting it by accident wasn't the greatest idea. Anyway, this'll do for the time being. What's coming up? I'm not sure, but I was contemplating changing tack for a month. How's this for an idea?
Instead of writing the usual guff, I'm considering posting a picture a day for however long I can be bothered. Ten days straight? Twenty? Maybe the full month? The idea came about, as I've noted I've been pretty lazy with the camera lately. The idea being it'll force me to get out and take a photo a day. That's all the post will be. Some sort of image. It could be from a walk, the city or anywhere really. I can't guarantee it'll be taken the day of the post, but mostly they will. So, if you suddenly start seeing a post a day, rest assured, it's only part of an experiment to get me back into blogging and fire up some enthusiasm for blogging in general.
Writing about boots is pretty dry and dull, isn't it? There's a reason I leave gear reviews to others, as I'd rather be looking at stuff like this instead...

Roger Simon: Our fools on the Hill
We used to have a ship of state, and now we have a ship of fools.
To call what happened on Capitol Hill over the past few days Kabuki is to insult Kabuki. What actually happened was more like ancient farce when actors used to come out and hit each other over the head with socks full of cowpies.
Contrary to what you have heard, we did not face up to a financial or economic or budgetary crisis. All Congress and the White House did was slog through another political crisis.
And the way they did it was comical: a 2 a.m. vote in the Senate followed by an 11 p.m. vote in the House. This is drive-by government.
That the White House was going to win was never in doubt. Barack Obama won reelection in November by nearly 5 million votes. According to CBS News, his approval rating is at 57 percent.
The members of Congress, on the other hand, are close to being put in stocks and pelted with vegetables. According to CBS, congressional job approval is at 11 percent. Any lower than that and Congress might as well move to Canada and try there.
One of the reasons our politicians are held in such low regard is that what they do is so divorced from reality.
What was the No. 1 issue of the last election? What did both sides promise the American people? As I recall, it was jobs, jobs and more jobs. But what did the recent fiscal cliff law do about creating more jobs? Nothing.
Some politicians like nothing. Nothing is why they went to Washington. They want to shrink government, in the famous words of Grover Norquist, "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
Why? Because as Mitt Romney said in the campaign, 47 percent of voters "believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."
(If you haven't heard much from Romney since the election, it's probably because he has been down in the Cayman Islands visiting his money.)
In this view, the government spends far too much on "entitlements" like Medicare. Medicare costs are strangling America, we hear, and according to the Congressional Budget Office, spending for Medicare in 2012 was a very hefty $555 billion.
But Medicare recipients are not exactly rolling in dough. In 2006, the last study my ace research team (Wikipedia) could find, the "average household income of Medicare enrollees was $22,600 compared with a U.S. median income of $48,201."
Yet these people are viewed as greed-heads sucking up precious dollars that could be better spent on . defense contractors!
The defense budget for 2012 was more than $600 billion, which is nearly twice as much as the rest of the planet combined. We outspend China, the next biggest military power in the world, by about 6-to-1.
Maybe this wild spending would not be so bad if it bought us quick and easy victories over ill-armed opponents. But it doesn't. We have poured more than a trillion dollars into the war in Afghanistan over the past 11 years - to say nothing of more than 2,000 precious U.S. lives lost - and we are still fighting there.
Some say this is good for the U.S. economy because it means we have to buy more and more bullets and bombs and drones, but personally I'd rather buy more liver transplants for the 47 percent.
Yet nobody in Washington is talking about serious cuts to the defense budget. On the contrary, they are talking about ways to avoid making serious cuts to the defense budget.
In the meantime, the government borrows more and more money, which means it keeps bumping up against the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling was invented as a way to keep Congress from spending too much, but it doesn't work.
So we keep raising the debt ceiling. We raised it 18 times under Ronald Reagan, four times under Bill Clinton, seven times under George W. Bush and three times, as of August 2011, under Barack Obama.
As Obama points out, the debt ceiling does not allow Congress to spend more money. It merely allows the government to pay the bills Congress has already racked up.
In just a few weeks, we will face another crisis over the debt ceiling. It shouldn't be a crisis, but politics will make it a crisis.
It's a broken system. It's why Americans hate politics.
Late on Jan. 1, President Obama briefly addressed the nation from a nearly empty White House briefing room. "I think, hopefully, in the new year we'll focus on is seeing if we can put a package like this together with a little bit less drama, a little less brinksmanship, not scare the heck out of folks quite as much," he said.
A little bit less drama? Drama is what government is about these days. Drama is the only thing our elected leaders seem good at.
So you bring the socks. I'll bring the cowpies.

R 5 000 000Bond Costs
Bot River, Bot River
Situated on the R43 - 10 minutes from Hermanus - approx. 80km to Cape Town International Airport. Very peaceful and a lot of potential for whatever you want to do or any farming purposes. Farms surroundings views of a beautiful green landscape. Main activities are Fynbos cultivation, fishing and life style living.
Main house and 2 flatlets. 5.2ha smallholding farm. It is really a unique property. Protea nursery business included with database of clients. Lots of water and dams. Kitchen - really old farm house. Dining room very spacious and lounge with fireplace, spacious and welcoming. 2 Dams. You can still build 3 more houses/cottages on the farm.
The small, picturesque village of Botrivier lies in the foothills of the Houw Hoek Mountains, en route to Hermanus. The Bot River, after which the hamlet is named, meanders its way through a fertile ... valley surrounded by mountains covered in fynbos, historical wine farms and fields of wheat.
A place of crossing in the Bot River originally served as a spot for bartering butter with the Khoi-khoi tribes and the river was attributed with the name 'butter' from both sides - the Afrikaans word for butter is 'botter' and the Khoi-khoi called it 'Couga', which means 'lots of butter'. The name stuck and today this river flows through the town into a large lagoon, which forms a marsh at its mouth. These wetlands are home to thousands of waterfowl and one of the only remaining herds of wild horses is said roam the area. Botrivier has a tradition of accommodating travellers. The Bot River Hotel was probably built in the 1890s.
A whole generation of South Africans were introduced to the town of Botrivier as the setting for their favourite TV series - 'Nommer Asseblief' (number please) and visitors used to insist on seeing the telephone exchange and meeting the characters from the soapie. Close to Kleinmond and Walker Bay, Botrivier is ideal for travellers who want to escape the throngs during whale watching season, but remain in the vicinity for easy access. Botrivier is a haven for nature lovers, wine tasters and artists, and the sheer tranquillity of the setting means a complete escape from it all. Read More

|Tax by ambush
|Written by News Desk
|Tuesday, 15 January 2013 20:33
In a boring management class I had at Auburn the professor was lecturing on the importance of managerial control. He used an example of always doing the right thing as a manager by telling us the story of a sailor on a ship.
The sailor was delegated the responsibility of making sure several canons were tied down before the night was over. The sailor agreed to the task and then promptly took a nap. He awoke in the nick of time and saw the canons rolling about the deck endangering life, limb and of course loss of the canons should they crash the rails and go overboard. The sailor hustled about and eventually tied the canons down and avoided all problems.
The next day the captain of the ship, in the presence of all hands, awarded a medal to the sailor for solving the dangerous problem. Once he pinned the medal on his chest the captain stepped back, pulled out his pistol and shot the sailor dead. The shooting was for causing the problem in the first place. The lesson learned from this is to reward those who do a good job and solve problems but get rid of those that cause the problems in the first place. I remember the professor referring to this management method as "The Gun."
In no way am I advocating the use of a gun but shouldn't we the voters use our power to get rid of politicians who create the many problems we have?
One incident that reminds me of the sailor story comes to mind. Last year HB120 was introduced in the 2012 regular session of the Alabama Legislature and became law (Act 2012-313) after it passed both houses without a dissenting vote. The bill's sole sponsor, Jack Williams (R-Dist 47), has now pre-filed HB19 for the 2013 regular session, which substantively repeals Act 2012-313 by reverting most of the provisions changed in HB120 to their original language.
The bill that passed last year, which is current law, removed an exemption from LOCAL property taxes for disabled homeowners with a net taxable income of $12,000 or more. Prior to 2005, disabled taxpayers who had a net taxable income of $7,500 or less qualified for a total exemption from all LOCAL property taxes. In 2005, an attorney general's opinion stated that a person who was permanently and totally disabled was exempt from all LOCAL property taxes regardless of income. HB120 reinstated an income threshold so that this LOCAL tax exemption only applies to disabled taxpayers whose combined net taxable income is $12,000 or less. After the passage of HB120 disabled homeowners whose net taxable income exceeds $12,000 only receive the "regular" homestead exemption. This exemption reduces the homestead's assessed value by $2,000.
Williams' HB120 required anyone who previously received a homestead exemption based on age or disability (except the blind) to "recertify" his or her exemption. This caused mass confusion and uproar from people. Taxpayers now had to recertify the fact that they were still disabled or that they were still 65 or older. HB19 not only retains this provision it provides criminal penalties (Class B misdemeanor) for knowingly or willfully providing false information to obtain an exemption.
In Elmore County qualifying residents received a letter from Revenue Commissioner Mike Harper about the changes in the law. That letter from Harper warned that failure to respond to the exemption recertification request by December 31, 2012 may result in the taxpayer losing their entire homestead exemption. Presumably this is true in other counties as these provisions are supposed to be uniform throughout the state.
Mike Hubbard, Alabama's Speaker of the House, sent a memo to House members on September 28, 2012 painting a picture that the legislature was doing Alabama taxpayers a favor by passing this law. Hubbard said in the memo that according to the Legislative Fiscal Office this bill will lower the property tax liabilities in the collective for Alabamians who are permanently disabled or 65 plus. He added that this action would cost the state coffers $6 million. I can't help but wonder how much money the state will make when they deny taxpayers the exemptions they are entitled to, just because they failed to "recertify" their obvious condition. Furthermore HB120 provided that homeowners 65 or older would now have their spouse's income considered in the means test for homestead exemptions. How many disabled vets over 65 with a household income just over $12,000 will no longer receive the blanket exemption they have come to expect?
Now, to the management of those that screw things up in the first place. The bill to repeal last year's mentally deficient action is sponsored by several folks and not just the original sponsor. This tells me that several want to be viewed as the "hero" in addition to Williams. What we need to remember is not the group that wants to be heroes, but the real villains in the first place. To get rid of the legislative villians voters should be ready with our "gun" and fire our bullets at the ballot box.

- acid resistance;
- crystal structure;
- protein stability;
- substrate specificity
Bacterial formyl-CoA:oxalate CoA-transferase (FCOCT) and oxalyl-CoA decarboxylase work in tandem to perform a proton-consuming decarboxylation that has been suggested to have a role in generalized acid resistance. FCOCT is the product of uctB in the acidophilic acetic acid bacterium Acetobacter aceti. As expected for an acid-resistance factor, UctB remains folded at the low pH values encountered in the A. aceti cytoplasm. A comparison of crystal structures of FCOCTs and related proteins revealed few features in UctB that would distinguish it from nonacidophilic proteins and thereby account for its acid stability properties, other than a strikingly featureless electrostatic surface. The apparently neutral surface is a result of a "speckled" charge decoration, in which charged surface residues are surrounded by compensating charges but do not form salt bridges. A quantitative comparison among orthologs identified a pattern of residue substitution in UctB that may be a consequence of selection for protein stability by constant exposure to acetic acid. We suggest that this surface charge pattern, which is a distinctive feature of A. aceti proteins, creates a stabilizing electrostatic network without stiffening the protein or compromising protein–solvent interactions.

|This is a fun climb. Instead of running of to the right or left, just take her straight up the middle. It nice and friction happy. The holds get a little skimpy, but there is enough there.

|True, the rock is not a "destination climb", but as an after work workout, or a low-key day in the sun, it's GREAT. The chains at the top make it an easy toprope, and personally, I wouldn't lead any of the climbs on the face--there aren't even enough micro cracks (Perfect Climb, to the left, is a good lead, however). Be aware, though--just because the approach and setup can be casual, this rock deserves respect: there have been more than one serious injury and at least one death here.

I saw somebody drytooling on TR here today.
Maybe that will make the climbs less slippery.

Couple quick notes,
Be careful w/ a 60m rope as it just barely makes it (knot your rope).
The powerlines are quite close to the cliff, particularly if you are belaying a toprope, or pulling your rope at the end of the day. I thought this was kind of the spookiest part of my evening last night.
My recollection of the accident in the late '90s is that the guy bought a long piece of webbing, the webbing had a splice that was taped together (sometimes in a roll of webbing, it isn't just one continuous piece, so they often tape the end of one piece to the end of the next piece), he began to rap, and the splice pulled apart. He was a roommate of a good friend of mine. It was a major bummer.

Hey Adam,
Was that the day there was a tremor in the state?
If the boulder being loose is an issue, then it should be trundled off at a safe time as to not hit cars, etc. I do recall a boulder up there that wobbled when ya put your hand on i.t but otherwise it was pretty stable: i.e. not going anywhere soon.

"From the time my 93 year old dad experienced multiple
falls at home, through his stay in the hospital, and then to a
rehabilitation center, and finally to his present home, you have
always been there for us. You were never too busy,
always very generous with your time, and if we
called when you were helping another family, you always
promptly returned our call. Most importantly the
advice you gave was right on and really comforted my wife and I at
a time of crisis and a situation we were totally
unfamiliar dealing with."
