Hi Correspondents!
One Young World Leadership Conference is recruiting youth around the world for their next event in Switzerland this year. Last year, Sunita Basnet and Gifty Pearl Abenaab, both VOF 2009 Correspondents, represented their countries--do you think you could do the same? If you were born in 1985 or later, you can apply! Go to http://www.oneyoungworld.com/takepart/ to find out more.
If you have questions about the conference, I'd suggest you get in touch with Sunita and Gifty through PulseWire. They are also both a part of the Voices of Our Future Correspondents Network.
One Young World is the premier global forum for young people of leadership calibre. Its purpose is to connect and bring together the youngest and brightest and to ensure that their concerns, opinions and solutions are heard and taken into account by those in power, whether in government, business or any other sector.
Kind regards,
Thank you reachel
Dear Rachael,
Thank you for posting this information. I have receive several email regarding sponsorship from many friends so I think to include some of the sponsorship basic information from One Young World.
Here is what One Young World has to say:
"Explanation on Financial Aid
We appreciate that sponsorship is a tricky issue for many delegates, especially those from the developing world. Since we are a not-for-profit ourselves, we don't have the resources in our own organisation to sponsor delegates. So instead, we've developed an array of resources for you to utilise in the search for sponsorship.
Provided you've obviously taken care in your application and fulfil the criteria of active participation, we're happy to help you out with some fundraising materials. We'll send you a letter template for you to fill in your particulars and approach businesses, NGOs, Universities etc. with, showing that we endorse your candidature. Last year, delegates managed to get sponsorship from all the above sources, as well as foundations, media companies, and others. You can feel free to use any of the materials from www.youtube.com/oneyoungworld or our Flickr stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/oneyoungworld/, as well as our new e-brochure to help explain One Young World; check it out at: www.oneyoungworld.com/pageflip
Since the inaugural summit was based around the 6 plenary sessions (which the 2nd summit will likely build on), it may be worth aligning any businesses you approach with the content from those plenary sessions. For example, if you approach a bank for sponsorship, stress the Global business plenary and involvement of Nobel Laureate Professor Yunus, if you're approaching, say, a Mining company, use the environmental plenary to stress the public's demand for positive action and transparency from them.
Even if you foresee difficulties in raising the full summit fee, we urge you to persist in your efforts. There were many cases last year of delegates raising some of the necessary funding, and us being able to "top up" the remainder (via sponsorships pledged from businesses and individuals) having been convinced of their quality and their commitment towards attendance. This allowed for the equivalent of one delegate fee in sponsorship from 3rd parties to go towards securing the attendance of two, or in one case even three delegates.
There would not generally be any information from our side on matters of sponsorship for candidates until any agreements regarding the sponsorship had been finalised. This is because we
1.Don't want to get delegates' hopes up in case it initially appears they might get sponsored, but the sponsors then change their minds or decide to sponsor somebody else instead
2.Don't want to encourage our candidates to stop their fundraising and sponsorship efforts, in case a situation as above happens, and
3.We ourselves can never know which of the delegates we recommend for sponsorship might ultimately get sponsored. We don't know until the sponsors do, and we can't favour one candidate above another - once they've been earmarked to become delegates, they should all have an equal chance.
Last time I did fundraising from friends and family. If you want to know how I did, Please feel free to send me an email.
Thank you.
With Love and Regards
Sunita Basnet
Thank you for this info! The
Thank you for this info! The first I dint know how to get started in this OYW but after reading sister's notes so now I get the points and I will try to do it. I really wish to join it!

Thank you
Thank you, Rachael and Sunita. The information was very helpful. Gifty Pearl also told me she contacted development agencies in her country as well as UN organs and the government.
I am going to try and do the same. If you have any extra ideas, please share! I would love to attend this conference, but I'm not getting much feedback from the potential sponsors I have been contacting.
All the best!

I think I am going to post a topic on the section NEED of the Resource Exchange. Maybe someone comes up with something! What do you think?

What does it mean to be saved by grace?
by Matt Slick
To be saved by grace means to be delivered from the righteous judgment of God through no act of your own but by his unmerited favor. God gave us the law (Exodus 20:1-17). The law is comprised of what we should and should not do regarding loving God and loving man (Matthew 22:37-40). However, to break the law of God is to sin (1 John 3:4). Unfortunately, we have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23), so we all deserve to be judged by God according to the Law. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and separation from him (Isaiah 59:2). So, we are all under the righteous judgment of God. Because we are sinners, we are by nature children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3).
Grace, on the other hand, is unmerited favor. Let me illustrate with three scenarios.
- First, let's say that I go over to your house and I steal your bike. You catch me, and I go to jail. That is justice. I got what I deserved.
- Second, I go to your house and steal your bike. You catch me but set me free. That is mercy. I did not get what I deserved.
- Third, I go to your house and steal your bike. You catch me; but you not only set me free, you give me the bike. I got what I did not deserve. So, in justice we get what we deserve. In mercy we don't get what we deserve. In grace we get what we do not deserve.
Grace is getting what we do not deserve from God. We do not deserve forgiveness of our sins, but he gives it to us through Jesus. We do not deserve to go to heaven, but we are able to do that through Jesus.
So, to be saved by grace means that the judgment due to us because of our sin against God, i.e., lying, stealing, adultery, fornication, coveting, lust, etc., will not befall us; that is forgiveness. But in addition, we get what we do not deserve--being in the presence of God.
Finally, the only way to be saved by grace is by putting your trust in what Jesus did on the cross. He never sinned (1 Peter 2:22), and he bore our sin in his body (1 Peter 2:24). He paid the price. He satisfied the penalty of the law by dying on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Because our righteous deeds are filthy rags before God (Isaiah 64:6), then we have nothing that is pure to offer God (Deuteronomy 17:1; Romans 3:10-12). Therefore, the only thing left for us to do is to trust what Christ has done on the cross--by faith. That is why the Bible tells us that we are made right before God by faith (Romans 5:1). Therefore, to be saved by grace means to be safe from the righteous judgment of God by the unmerited favor found only in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

That's the conclusion of a new scholarly book entitled Sick from Freedom, by Connecticut College historian Jim Downs. Early reviews of the book tend to repeat the historically false and cartoonish notion that Lincoln "freed the slaves" by the stroke of a pen with an "executive order." The truth, of course, is that the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to "rebel territory" where no slaves could be freed, specifically exempted all areas, including West Virginia and numerous parishes in Louisiana that were controlled by the U.S. Army, and was defined by Lincoln as a "war measure" that would end immediately if the war ended. If the war ended the day after the Proclamation was announced, then nothing at all would have been done about slavery by the Lincoln administration. Thus, it was designed to free no one and was roundly denounced by genuine abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison. It was the Thirteenth Amendment that ended slavery in 1866. Lincoln, meanwhile, was busy plotting to deport every last black person out of the U.S. up to his dying day, as documented in another Oxford University Press book, Colonization After Emancipation by Phillip Magness and Sebastian Page.
Sick from Freedom shows that as many as 1 million of the freed slaves died from cholera or smallpox while the federal government, controlled by The Party of Lincoln for half a century after the war, did essentially nothing at all about it. Thousands of ex-slaves returned to work on the plantations where they were previously enslaved because the alternative was starvation and death from disease.
The main priority of The Party of Lincoln at that time (from 1865–1890) was its war of genocide against another colored race, the Plains Indians, in order to "make way for the railroad," as General Sherman himself announced. The U.S. army, aided by ex slaves known as "Buffalo Soldiers," eventually murdered some 60,000 Plains Indians, including thousands of women and children, while putting the rest of them into concentration camps known as "reservations."
So far, the naive and historically ignorant media, such as the New York Times, have expressed shock over the notion that this book, along with several others published in recent years, seems to challenge the "established view" that in the 1860s all Northerners were angels sent by God to take up arms to murder hundreds of thousands of barbaric Southerners solely for the benefit of black strangers in places like Mississippi and Louisiana, where almost none of them had ever been. This of course has been the defining philosophy of American imperialism ever since 1861: Resisters to the American empire, from nineteenth-century Southerners, to the Plains Indians, to turn-of-the-century Filipinos, to anyone anywhere today, are supposedly legitimate targets of extinction so that the earth can be "civilized," American style. It's called "American exceptionalism."6:03 am on June 18, 2012 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

Becker's blast boosts WC to split
April 18, 2013
Kelsey Becker produced a game-winning, two-out in the opener. She has raised her batting averaged from .167 to .286. (Wilmington file photo)
ADA – Kelsey Becker's two-out, two-run double in the top of the seventh inning boosted the Wilmington College softball team to the 5-3 victory in the opener of their Ohio Athletic Conference doubleheader split with Ohio Northern. The Lady Quakers fell 9-3 in the nightcap.
"We are in good position to make a solid run and anytime you can get a win over a solid OAC team, you are pleased," said head coach Beth Floyd.
Becker (Clarksville, IN/Clarksville) has hits in four straight games, all multi-hit games, raising her batting average from .167 to .286. In those four games, the senior catcher has recorded nine of her 16 hits on the season. Her game-winning hit in the opener capped a 3-for-4 day in which she added two runs scored.
Brooke Byrne (Wilmington, OH/Wilmington) opened the seventh by reaching on an error, and moved to second on a bunt single from Caitlin Shilling (Waverly, OH/Waverly). After a series of fielder's choices, WC had bases loaded with two outs bringing up Becker, who came through in the clutch.
Wilmington was able to claim the victory after Danielle Monnier (Houston, OH/Houston) wiggled out of trouble in the sixth. The Polar Bears strung together three straight hits to tie the game and put insurance runs on second and third.
With the game potentially hanging in the balance, Floyd made the decision to walk the bases loaded.
"I am very confident in my team," said Floyd. "I knew I had a fighter on the mound, and I am just very confident in our team. I just had to make the coaching decision to put them in the best position to be successful."
Monnier and the defense made the decision look brilliant. Back-to-back outs at the plate on fielder's choice and a lineout to left enabled WC to get out of the sixth inning tied.
ONU took the lead with a run in the first, but a two-double by Stacy Lunsford (Wilmington, OH/Clinton-Massie) scored Becker with the tying run in the second. The Lady Quakers took the lead in the fourth inning on two unearned runs. The Polar Bears got a run back in the fourth before pulling even in the sixth.
Monnier (11-3) scattered a season-high 12 hits with five strikeouts, allowing three runs (two earned) in earning the victory. Lunsford and Shilling were each 2-for-4 in the win.
Ohio Northern scored six runs in the second and two in the third in salvaging the split. Jess Clutter (Englewood, OH/Northmont) took the loss, allowing four earned runs on six hits in four innings of work.
Nine different players recorded hits in the loss, including multi-hit efforts from Becker and Allie Noggle (Ashville, OH/Teays Valley). Shilling added her team-high ninth homerun in the seventh inning.
Wilmington (19-9 overall, 5-7 OAC) returns to the diamond Saturday with a pivotal OAC doubleheader with Mount Union.

Get ready to smile.
During the heated matchup between Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat on Sunday afternoon, ESPN on ABC reporter Lisa Salters was in the crowd interviewing Yannick Noah, the very proud father of Bulls All-Star Joakim Noah. In the midst of the interview, Noah stopped LeBron James from scoring on the defensive end before running down the floor, pulling down the offensive rebound and drawing the foul on the other side of the court. Yannick became too focused on the game to continue to the interview, and began wildly cheering for his son.
The Heat currently lead the Bulls 82-80 with just over three minutes left in regulation. Noah has 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
Update: The Bulls defeated the Heat 95-88 in overtime. Noah finished with the double-double, dropping 20 points, grabbing 12 boards while adding seven assists and five blocks.

Renaissance of Kisko-Seura
Kisko is a small municipality with a population just under 2000. It is situated in Southwestern Finland not far from the coast, between Helsinki (the current capital) and Turku (the former capital). The commercial and administrative center of Kisko is a town called Toija. Kisko recently celebrated its 650th anniversary.
In 1960 the local people founded an association called Kisko-Seura. It organized local activities for about 10 years but fell into a near coma in the 1970s, when the Finnish countryside was undergoing a major change due to a structural change in the society.
Felice Vinci's theory came as a fireball giving a spark of new life to Kisko-Seura and the entire municipality of Kisko. To think that the legendary city of Troy could be hidden in this outwardly peaceful Finnish countryside.
The president of Kisko-Seura at the time was Ms. Soili Kuussaari who had the acuteness to recognize the theory as an unparalleled opportunity to boost Kisko's cultural life as well as make the municipality better known outside of its own area. Immediately after hearing about Vinci's theory on Troy, she approached the director of the municipality proposing that cultural events could be organized as a concerted effort for the benefit of all and that the national interest in Vinci's ideas could be utilized to gain larger interest in the media.
In the summer of 1994, only a couple of months after the first article on the theory appeared in the Finnish media, Kisko-Seura organized the coronation of the first Helen of Toija, opened an art exhibition called Ulysses in the North and had a play performed by amateur actors.
The prerequisite for all these events to take place was that a suitable space for them could be found. The local farmers' association owned an old storage house made of natural stone. It was right in the heart of Toija and was not used by the farmers except to store some old farming equipment. It was a handsome building which inspired many to think up different uses for it.
Now was the time to see if something could be done about the building. The farmers were sympathetic to the idea of putting it to use and consented to clean and fix the building for Kisko-Seura. It took a lot of hard work to accomplish everything, but it was all finished in time so that the various events could take place already in June of 1994.
Already in the spring of 1994 the local school children were given an extra lesson on Homer and his epics. They were also asked to draw their idea of Troy. The drawings and paintings created by the children were presented in the local library as an art exhibition. Also the local Lions Club was inspired by the comparison of Toija with Troy and produced a wooden horse statue that was placed on a field by the roadside near the village of Toija.
For the coronation of Helen of Toija a dress and suitable jewelry were needed. With the sponsorship of Benefon Oy these items were designed by Irma Lehtosalo and Mauri Sarparanta.
Other emblems of Troy in Toija were the official postage franking stamp of the municipality of Kisko which had the Finnish names for Troy and Ulysses, and t-shirts and caps with an expressly designed image to commemorate the possible great history of Toija.

There was a time when Robbers Cave State Park wasn?t named as such. If it had, it would have been a pretty obvious tip for police, who might have stumbled upon outlaws such as Jesse James, Belle Starr, and the Youngers hiding out from the law. The wooded hills, rugged caves, and remote location amid the Sans Bois Mountains made it an ideal place for the infamous to disappear after robbing a train or showing the townsfolk their bare ankles.
Today, this same natural landscape attracts a different sort of adventurer?rock climbers, cave explorers, and all manner of outdoor enthusiasts. The park's 8,200 acres include three fishable lakes that teem with trout and perch, and the trails offer scenic trips for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. Climbers scale and rappel sandstone cliffs, and the wilderness area's wildlife attracts hunters and nature watchers.
After trying to track down the old outlaw cave among the sandstone hills and cliffs?which can reach heights of 1,500 feet?visitors warm up next to the fireplace in one of the park's 26 cabins. To make visits comfortable, these feature fully equipped kitchens, linens, and satellite TV, as well as central heat and air. The Belle Starr View Lodge also welcomes guests, and there are plenty of sites for tents, RVs, and stockpiles of loot as well.
Nowata Firearms is a destinations for all things firearms?from pistols all the way up to fully-automatic machine guns. In the pro shop, the staff helps customers peruse both used and new guns, which come from manufacturers such as Ruger and Taurus. The team also includes firearms instructors, who teach concealed-carry classes.
At Star Skate, you might find skaters trailing balloon bouquets or waving glow sticks as they circulate smoothly around the rink. These—along with providing dishes of ice cream, hot dogs, and soda—are a few of the ways the staff helps party guests celebrate birthdays and other events. But whether it's someone's birthday or not, guests can always celebrate the joy of frictionless frolicking by outfitting their feet with roller, inline, or speed skates at any of Star Skate's four locations.
The Rusty Nail Winery is a premier tourist destination in southern Oklahoma. Tourists and locals alike can sip, taste, relax, select the perfect bottle of wine to take home, explore our unique gift shop, or sample tasty foods from our Bistro.
In 2000, the city of Pauls Valley hosted VISION 2010, a series of meetings where locals proposed goals they had for the next 10 years. When it came to creating new city attractions, the VISION 2010 turned to local toy designer and collector Kevin Stark. Five years later, one October 15, 2005, the Toy and Action Figure Museum welcomed its first visitors. Inside, more than 13,000 collectibles??from Incredible Hulks and Millennium Falcons to Wonder Womans and Simpsons toys??celebrate the art of the action figure.
For devotees of the Dark Knight, meanwhile, the "Batcave" traces the evolution of Batman figures, from Tim Burton's moody caped crusader to Christopher Nolan's even moodier caped crusader. Over in the playroom, youngsters can even dive deeper into make-believe by playing with toys and dressing up in a handful of costumes. Besides action figures, the museum houses The Oklahoma Cartoonist Collection, a retrospective of drawings by notable state artists such as Zack Mosley and Carole Bender.

Founded in 1968, Intel is one of the most enduring technology giants in the marketplace today. In 2007, Intel launched the Passport program to their over 55,000 US based blue badge employees. The Passport program replaced a long-standing legacy employee discount program, which had been in place at Intel for numerous years.
Intel made a carefully calculated decision when choosing to implement Passport to replace an already well-established discount program. The company knew there would be some pain points when making the transition, but felt that the value proposition brought to the table by Passport outweighed any the challenges they might encounter.
The first step to ensuring a smooth transition between programs was to understand the structure and details of the current program. The Passport team spent time with the Intel stakeholders who had managed the relationship with the previous provider to learn more about how the program was used by employees. With this information, Passport created a comprehensive project plan to cover all aspects of the migration.
One of the major considerations when implementing the Passport program was the relatively large size of the employee base, as well as the varied geographic locations of major campus locations. While some organizations have employees concentrated at a few major locations, Intel's employees are spread across the nation, necessitating a timely and accurate distribution process for new cards.
Intel also has a robust program for retirees, and they sought to offer the Passport program to these valuable former employees as well. Passport worked directly with the Intel employees who manage the retiree program to determine a unique implementation and distribution process for this special group of cardholders.
Since the program's launch in 2007, the Intel program has experiences steady growth. The Passport program is now an integral part of the company's culture. New employees travelling to the US from foreign locations often request a Passport card immediately upon arrival because they have heard from their US-based counterparts about the value of the program. The Passport program is featured at Intel's new employee orientation, and also showcased at the company's yearly benefits fairs.

What was the best Christmas gift you've ever gotten?
All in all, I cant say it was a bad draft
Other than someone else did it for me. How many of you would let someone else put your fantasy-football destiny in their hands??? Many of you know Bovenzi, (Two Girls One Cutler) from the other league. He was my surrogate drafter for the Gab league. The wife and I were at the NYSFair at a 3DoorsDown concert and used the power of cell to throw ideas as to whom to draft back and forth.
With 5 minutes to go before draft time, Bo FINALLY returned my text to tell me I had the 3rd spot
Oh baby!!! I know A.Petterson and A.Foster wouldnt make it that far so I set my eyes
er, text message on Ray Rice! No word from Bo after about 20 minutes and then I got the return
With the 3rd pick, YaGata NGata drafts Ray Rice! My #1 pick is set
Time for me
er, Bo, to build a franchise!!! This is my first time having RayRay... dont let me down...
Here is how my draft went

I have been seeing artifacts and textures not loading in Counter Strike. I alt tabbed to check the temp of my gpu and it was around 80C. When I alt tabbed I noticed the bars on my desktop as well so it isn't a CS GO only problem. Any ideas?. 8 gig ram. Intel Quad core @ 2.4. SS ingame: i48.tinypic.com/308wmzp.jpg
I cleaned it out and I'm still seeing thise bars on desktop and in game. Only way to get rid of them is when I change resolution to something different then back to what it was. It is however running 10 degrees cooler

SHIFT: Is Big Brother living in your Kindle?
Talk about irony. In an Orwellian moment, owners of Amazon's Kindle discovered that their recently purchased copies of George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm had been deleted by Amazon. Apparently, a third-party retailer who specializes in selling public-domain books used Amazon's self-service platform to sell copies of two Orwell titles. Unfortunately, those books aren't public domain in the U.S.A. Oops.
Granted, the copies were unauthorized copies, but they were already sold. Yet Amazon seemed to be completely comfortable with reaching out and remotely deleting the copies on all those Kindles (the company later apologized for the deletions). It's kind of like they sneaked into your home and snatched it off your bookshelf. And it's not the only device out there vulnerable to this sort of "invasion." While everyone was busy celebrating the amazing cavalcade of gadgets that have emerged in the last few years, we failed to notice that the technology is firmly in place to enable third parties to come in and take away media that you own. Keep reading for the whole story.
Terms of Service
Amazon's own Terms of Service state that once an e-book is yours, it's yours:
Upon your payment of the applicable fees set by Amazon, Amazon grants you the non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy of the applicable Digital Content and to view, use, and display such Digital Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Device or as authorized by Amazon as part of the Service and solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
Despite that, customers discovered their copies of those books were gone. One poor kid even lost all the work he had done on a book report that he had started, using the Kindle to take notes.
However, even Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos thought the deletion was wrong. Very wrong. "This is an apology for the way we previously handled illegally sold copies of 1984 and other novels on Kindle. Our 'solution' to the problem was stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles. It is wholly self-inflicted, and we deserve the criticism we've received. We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward, ones that match our mission."
What Shouldn't Happen
While even Bezos admits it was a stupid move, it does make you wonder what else Amazon (and others) does that is straight out of 1984. Isn't it creepy when Amazon posts their "Customers who looked at this also bought that" links? Do you really want it to remind you "You bought this, now you might want to buy that?" Who's had a birthday surprise, or a secret purchase revealed because of Amazon's meddling ways? (Come on, you know there was a purchase you were keeping from your girlfriend, right?) And when it's suggesting Tummy Tuck jeans to me, are they trying to tell me something? Information is gathered by many websites. Google ads are just one, but the banner ads on most website are targeted to directly to you. Maybe Amazon deleted 1984 because it already was hitting just a little too close to home.
Big Bro'
Besides the Big Brother moves, this mass deletion brings up a more disturbing question. With more and more of our life in a digital cloud, what do you really own when you buy software? Many people use cloud computing to store documents, files, and even purchased music, movies, and well, books. When you buy something with Digital Rights Management (DRM), what rights do you have to that property? What rights are you really conceding when you "purchase" something with DRM, and whose rights are being protected?
Certainly not the consumer's. Imagine this: you buy a love song that written for a singer's current flame. When that flame flickers out, the artist is so heartbroken, he wants to delete that song from everyone's library. It sounds far-fetched, but the technology exists. Even if you reformat the song to something DRM-free, software like Shazam has other ways of identifying music. TiVo used to let consumers record a pay-per-view movie from DirecTV and keep it for however long they want. Now, after paying the same amount, most DirecTV movies get automatically erased after 24 hours, whether or not you've actually viewed them.
In addition to that public apology by Bezos, Amazon has said that in the future, it will not automatically remove copies of a book from Kindle if a similar situation comes up in the future. But the remote delete key is still somewhere in a locked room in Amazon's basement. Will it really never be pushed again, under any circumstances? What would George say?

Morning all
I've had this problem thrown at me by the 'creative media' department this morning.
They have bought some cheap Goodmans MP4 Players to save their Logic/Final Cut finished projects to so they can listen to/watch them. Unfortunately it looks like the macs won't let users write to them.
I've checked and they're formatted FAT32 and I can read and write to them as an administrator but not as an Active Directory user.
They've said this also happens with some cameras that show up as external drives.
I've checked my Workgroup settings and I can't see any restrictions in place for external media (I haven't got anything selected for media access).
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a workaround?

Parent Hacks admin: On the road
I am just bowled over by the outpouring of understanding and comfort brought on by my last post. Thank you for the comments and emails, and for all of the wonderful offers of help. I'm out of town right now -- on my first-ever blogger "junket" out to meet the Pampers folks at Procter & Gamble HQ in Cincinnati -- and the timing couldn't be better. Even though it's only a 36-hour trip, having some time with my blogger friends (and by myself) is clearing the mental fog. My #1 Parent Hacks task once I get home will be to get helpers on board. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, please do poke around in the archives. As Jess said in her comment, there's enough there to keep you going for a year!
Back soon. You are the best.
