Ten Years Ago Today the Banning Started
The Nation of Shopkeepers remembers:
Ten years ago today, parliament passed an act to outlaw private handgun ownership.....
Since this removal of freedoms of the few, the bastards that run this country have clearly got a taste for it. None of you really need reminding how bad things are, and how all the elements of a closed police state are now in place, to be enacted on a whim. The difference is now they are confident enough to bring is restrictions that affect the many, rather than the unpopular few.
Let us all hope that we don't come to rue the words of one George Orwell, when he said;
"The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
(8 January 1941 article Orwell wrote for Evening Standard.)

The 7-Minute Workout: That's Not All Folks
A study has recently come out that could change the way many people think about exercise. It was done by scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. It's being called the "The Scientific 7-Minute Workout". Basically, the premise of it is that a few minutes of high intensity interval training produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike riding.
To put it plainly, if you are the type of person who jogs, bikes, or goes on any of those cardio machines at the gym, in an attempt to get fit – you could be getting the same benefits for your body by doing rapid succession (and in essence, more challenging) strength training moves over a shorter period of time.
But hang on for a second, before you go and scrap everything you've been doing up until now, there are a few caveats to this whole idea that a person needs to consider…
First, think about your goals. If you happen to LIKE riding your bike, or jogging outside, then I say you should still do it. If however, you are only doing it because you are trying to lose weight or get fit or change your body composition, then yeah, maybe it's time you made a change, or at least, incorporated this recommended type of training into your routine.
High intensity interval training has some great benefits. Because you are doing strength training movements – pushups, squats, wall sits, step ups, etc. – you are building lean muscle mass, which in turn, increases your metabolism, which helps your body to burn calories even when you are NOT exercising. Also, because you are doing these moves in rapid succession, you are getting the benefits of a cardiovascular workout as well.
This is what the workout looks like. Do each movement for 30 seconds and give yourself a ten second rest in between. You should be working at about 80% of your max during the active phase. It will be hard. Expect it.
This type of workout has been all the rage in many of the videos that are popular today. I've mentioned them before – Insanity, BodyRock, P90X, Tabata, Crossfit, just to name a few.
One other word of caution: just because the 7 minutes is equal to an extended period of steady-state cardiovascular training, that does not mean it's all you need to do. People are not made to just sit. People are made to move. So go out there and do stuff. Do this stuff. Do other stuff. Just be active.
There is the common misconception that fitness is about trying to fit the most amount of activity – or get the most bang for your buck – into the least amount of time. It is if you don't HAVE the time, but I'd say that people also need to change their priorities. Fitness is about moving one's body often, and in lots of different ways.
I will tell you this: people who are very fit – who look fit, and who are capable of doing great physical things – exercise for way longer than seven minutes a day, it doesn't matter what they do. This is like a bare minimum. In fact, it should be considered a comparison rather than a recommendation.
I guess the bottom line for me is, if you haven't tried this type of workout yet, you should. If you are attempting to make changes to your body, and up until now, the things you've been doing haven't been working – AND you haven't tried this – then do it. What have you got to lose? Nothing but some fat. Once you can do the seven minutes, go for longer. Do it again. Add more intervals. Just keep going. Don't start by limiting yourself.
My recommendation: put on some of your favourite music while you are at it. It helps. For me, music is what makes it fun. Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

I agree with you 100%!
I've been incorporating HIIT moves into my regimen for better than a year now because I detest steady-state cardio. I like to jolt my body into action with movements that are done at a fast and furious pace because it works for me. However, as I said, such moves are an incorporation, not a cure-all.
I love exercising and couldn't fathom doing it for ONLY 7-minutes, but I know that's not the case for everyone. So, I'm right there with you, whatever gets you moving is the key thing…but keep moving after that; don't stop!
May 22, 2013 at 5:19 pm
See, my common sense tells me that 7 minutes isn't going to accomplish much. HOWEVER, it is better than doing nothing to get the heart pumping. Procrastination is my problem; I can always find something more fun and entertaining to do. Maybe I should get myself jump-started with something like this.

CORPUS CHRISTI -- The Coastal Bend now has 68 new American citizens that call our community home.
A naturalization ceremony brought people from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe to the Federal Courthouse for the official ceremony this morning.
After singing the national anthem and the holding the American flag in hand, all 68 people became American citizens.
"Yes! I'm American," Martha Patricia Martinez exclaimed after receiving her certificate of citizenship. She was born in Mexico City, but for the last 14 years, she's called Corpus Christi home.
"I love Corpus Christi, the beach is wonderful and in the morning when you come to work, to see the sky, its gorgeous," Martinez told us. She works at Christus Spohn as a Certified Nursing Assistant.
Diala Abuoali walked into today's ceremony a citizen of Lebanon and left as an American Citizen. "Its a very good thing, I like to be a citizen, American citizen," she said. She's spent three years in the Coastal Bend. Her son and husband are citizens and her unborn daughter will be one too.
She says she took this step for family. "For my son, he's going to learn and go to university here, its very very good," Abuoali said. In fact, she got her G.E.D. here and she plans to attend college.
Both women thank their family for support. "It's a big emotion, it's a big emotion, I was waiting for this moment for a long time and now I'm here, it's like oh my God, thanks, God," Martinez said.
They say now, the sky is the limit. "The United States is a place where dreams come true," Martinez said.
The new citizens come from several countries all over the world. The majority are from Mexico.

"Are all girls like this, or just the ones I know?"Gender equality is a bit of a funny thing. Not too long ago, having a woman kicking ass was an earth-shocking novelty. Now, however, there are loads of tropes and archetypes that effortlessly manage to combine a double-dose of femininity and a double-dose of asskickery. We have powerful video game heroines, we have powerful film heroines, we have powerful comic heroines, people could go on and on about examples left and right and all over the place. In some fiction, though, it seems that being a woman instantly gives you masterful ability in gunslinging, martial arts, swordplay, or sometimes more. In these settings, almost every major female character is an incredibly dangerous badass that could take on the police and military with their hands tied behind their back, and are far more numerous than the men to boot. While that's not to say that the ass-kicking men are non-existent, they are either secondary characters or just simply vastly outnumbered. It's far more likely that the men will be a Non-Action Guy, tagging along and acting as either Mission Control or moral support. When you have only a small squadron of badass women, that's an Amazon Brigade. When nearly every man and woman and maybe even some kids are badass and the numbers are fairly equal, that's a World of Badass. This trope is not the women of a World of Badass; rather, it is when the numbers are decisively tilted in the women's side. Loosely related to the Improbably Female Cast.

Pittsburgh, Penn...
I bought the Ruby Shorts pattern a while ago with the intent to make them at the beginning of the summer… in any case, the weather forecast for this weekend in Pittsburgh is 91 degrees, so it's not over yet! Plus, I had a pair of shorts on my list for my 52 Weeks of Sewing project :-)
As for the pattern, oh Burdastyle, why why why? Perhaps I've been spoiled since childhood with Simplicity and McCall's precise and dumbed-down instructions, but would it really hurt you to adequately explain a welt pocket? Or how to sew the rest of the pattern for that matter? The instructions may as well have just read "sew all the pieces together." With that said, even without proper instructions they were straightforward to put together.
This pair is made of "Linen Look" fabric (I think that means something cheap and synthetic that looks like linen but doesn't wrinkle as much?). The only diversion I made from the actual pattern was to line it as well as to shorten the legs by about 2 inches. Next time I might cut it to a 38 instead of a 36 – I always forget that Burdastyle patterns actually run true to size.

And summer´s not over as long as you can still wear dresses: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/warmest-winter-dress
Nice shorts!
Aug 24, 2012, 07.20 AMby scuffsan
I love your shorts! The contrast hem is that little extra detail that makes them more interesting than other sailor shorts. And yes, burda instructions do suck. That is the main reason I hardly ever bother to make anythinh from their patterns. Even if i cen figure it out myself I like instructions here and there.
Aug 24, 2012, 01.48 AMby schnui
Julia, your shorts look great and you have made them so well. I do like the white trim on the leg hem and the buttons down the side. I have to agree with you about Burda instructions; sometimes they leave out all the important stuff, assuming you already know everything about sewing. I have been sewing for over 40 years and I do not know everything about sewing, so I would still like help, especially as we all pay for the pattern and the instructions!!! I hope you continue to have some lovely warm weather so you can enjoy wearing your shorts a bit longer.

AYN RAND - A SENSE OF LIFE is the first authorized film look at the life and work of the controversial Russian-born author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Narrated by Emmy Award-wining actress Sharon Gless, the documentary offers millions of fans the opportunity to relive the drama of Ayn Rand`s life and fiction: from her early childhood and escape from Soviet Russia to her struggle and triumph as an American writer whose book sales exceed 300,000 copies annually after five decades in print. Drawing from personal papers and public archives across two continents, the film combines fact, literary fiction and an intimate weave of interviews with Rand`s intellectual heir Leonard Peikoff, television journalist Mike Wallace, as well as rare photos, archival footage and an original film-noir scene from her 1934 play, Ideal.

toxin: poisonous
Pollution comes from many sources. It is more difficult to control when it is in water because water itself is a common solvent for many things and transfers pollutants throughout the ecosystem. Southern California has many problems with pollution in the marine environment.
There are many types of pollution, some of the worst are DDT and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls--used as insulation in the 1970's). Industrial wastes pollute wetlands, bays, estuaries, and the ocean itself.
Pollutants enter the marine ecosystem in a variety of ways. Until the 1960's some chemicals were allowed to be disposed of off-shore; we did not know then about their long-term toxic effects. Today urban street runoff, farm fields and industrial sites contribute to the toxins in the ocean. Some, such as mercury, which is spewed out by coal burning power plants, fall from the air.
Another important way pollutants enter the marine ecosystem is through sewage plants (outfall sites). They impact the environment through the effects at the outflow site (where the final treatment is deposited into the ocean). Soft, muddy sediments are like sponges that slowly soak up all of the chemicals and toxins. Small animals that live in the sediment pick up tiny particles of it and are then eaten by larger animals. Poisons are then spread throughout the food web. Southern California's Hyperian Sewage Plant is unfortunately a very good example. DDT has been found in the sludge from the Hyperian outfall site. It was thought that by depositing the sludge far out in the bay that the ocean would dilute and cleanse the outfall, but this did not happen.
Benthic (bottom dwelling) animals that live in the soft muddy sediment take the toxins and chemicals into their system, by eating the particles or through taking in the water with the dissolved contaminants. For example, on Catalina Island mussels have been found to contain arsenic. Small fish eat small animals and crustaceans in the sediment. Bigger fish such as the white croaker and California Halibut, eat these smaller fish as well as crustaceans who have already been contaminated. Essentially, fish that eat bottom-dwelling organisms become contaminated over time, as do the bigger fish who eat those fish.
Fish-eating birds and mammals also then become contaminated. Brown pelicans were nearly wiped out along the West Coast because they ate anchovies and other fish contaminated by DDT that flowed into waters off Palos Verdes from a pesticide plant. Scientist say that the DDT that destroyed the egg shells of the bald eagles and led to their extinction on Catalina Island, is related to the DDT in the San Pedro Channel. Years later after DDT had been outlawed, bald eagles were reintroduced to Catalina Island but once again they began to die out. It was discovered that the eagles were eating the seagulls' chicks and eggs who eat the fish which have levels of DDT in them. So although DDT was no longer being put into the San Pedro channel it was still present in the food causing the new group of eagles to have problems in hatching their young.
Dolphins in the San Pedro Channel have higher levels of toxins in them than dolphins found elsewhere. In general dolphins and seals off of Los Angeles County remain highly contaminated. They may grow tumors or lose their ability to fight off disease.
DDT (and other toxins that bioaccumluate) never leaves the system of an organism. Every time an animal is eaten by another animal the DDT or other toxin goes into the new animal and becomes even more concentrated, because the bigger the animal, the more contaminated food they will eat. It is important to note that people are not immune to this problem. People can get very sick from eating tainted fish or shellfish. These toxins can cause cancer or birth defects.

RELEASED: Feb. 10, 2006
EAU CLAIRE — Family Groove Company will present three free concerts at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Feb. 23-25. The four-piece groove-oriented band will begin its shows at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in The Cabin of Davies Center.
Family Groove Company came on the Los Angeles music scene in January 2001, when guitarist Adam Lewis and keyboardist Jordan Wilkow met bassist Janis Wallin and drummer Mattias Blanck while studying music at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. The chemistry between the four musicians was immediate, and they soon recorded their first demo and began performing throughout Southern California. West Coast tours followed, with regular appearances in such cities as San Diego, San Francisco and Portland.
In spring 2002, the band released their 10-track debut album, "Reachin'." The band's first studio effort reflects Family Groove Company's commitment to conscientious song craft and the band's determination to offer material of compositional interest along with their solo/improv ideas.
Now based in Chicago, Family Groove Company integrates the groove sensibility developed by James Brown and Herbie Hancock with the more traditional song structure and consciousness of the hook revolutionized by the Beatles. FGC proudly avoids the ubiquitous jam-band formula of the hip-hop/funk/rock groove combined with endless guitar solos and has managed to supplement its passion for improvisation with a fierce attentiveness to compositional coherence and ingenuity. Rich vocal harmonies and a passionate dedication to improvisation are the threads that tie it all together, creating a sound that captivates audiences ranging from the most casual music fan to the most critical musician.
People of all ages are welcome to The Cabin performances. Soda, tea, coffee and coffee-related beverages, and domestic and imported beer will be sold; proof of age is required for alcohol purchases.
The Cabin program is sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the UW-Eau Claire Student Senate. For more information, visit The Cabin Web site or contact the Activities and Programs office, (715) 836-4833.

This shade is perfect if you don't want a full on dark black! It's a dark, ashy/brown-y color, and I love using this when I am using all browns and creams in an eyeshadow look. I use this in the outer corner, and it isn't too harsh, but definitely not too light either. I have no problems with the way this applies, it's creamy and blends well!
Thanks to all the MUAers who inspired me to buy this shade! I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said about this classic, but it has a quality that I really like (though others may not). This color can go on very sheer -very easily. I like that, I can put a wash of color and easily build where I want more, versus trying to apply as little as possible and buffing most of it back off. This makes a beautiful wash of color.

Brun oh brun, where do I begin? I've recently purchased a 15 color mac e/s palette and this is the one color I can't live without, of them all.
Brun is a cool toned (ash/grey) shade which I find difficult to call brown, but well it doesn't come close to any other color so let's just call it brown :).
Excellent color payoff that is buildable, great lasting power and I see no fall out with this.
I apply Artdeco e/s base then MAC PP in Painterly first, then my eyeshadows go on top of that. I use mostly MAC brushes for the whole process.
Brun works well in a myriad of ways: crease color, lid color, outer V, all over (lid+crease+outer V) for a smoky eye, on the lower lash line and for my eyebrows too. Staple. HG. I'd say Brun is the cool toned version of my Bourjois Taupe Essentiel.
Suggested look: Arabic Smoky Eyes
I use Brun as a lid color and on the LLL, Texture in the crease deepened with Brown Script, Carbon on the outer V, Blanc Type as a highlight...and don't forget to add some false lashes ;)

A nice, dark and rich matte brown colour. It has a nice soft finish and it is easy to blend. I used to use carbon to fill in my really dark brows but I felt like it was way too harsh for me. I asked the MUA at MAC what she thought would look good on me and she suggested this. I love it so much, it matches my brows perfectly without making them look too harsh like carbon did. It is also a great colour to deepen the crease of your makeup with or if you want a smokey brown eye look you could use it in the crease. It is a very versatile colour and I'd recommend it to anyone.:)
I've had MAC's Brun e/s for quite some time and use it to fill in my brows every day. The product is rich on colour so you don't need much - I still can't see any sign of the pan :) this is gorgeous in the crease or under the lower lash line if you want to add some drama to the eye. I find there's hardly any fallout with this e/s and doesn't crease up on you. A true 'milk chocolate' brown. Not too deep, nor too reddy.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this as an eyeliner and I absolutely love it.
Black isn't my daily choice for eyeliner because I'm pale and it's too dramatic for daytime, so I tend to lean towards different shades of brown (MAC Embark or Handwritten (slight plummy undertones), TM definer in dark brown), BB Espresso.
Brun is a bit lighter than the colors listed above. It's a perfect straight up dark brown color that really enhances the green in my blue-green eyes. . I don't detect any red or purple undertones in this.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is an absolute staple for me on the crease, it matches with so many different lid colours, and just finishes off any look perfectly. Brun is so deeply pigmented- its what I thought Espresso was going to be. I use it pretty much every single day. It should be in everybody's palette!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great to fill in brows with a slanted brush. As an olive-toned person with dark hair and very sparse brows, brun fills it in and the grey-brown hue looks more natural than anything else I've tried. Has great staying power whether I'm applying it alone or over foundation.
I have very dark brown hair so my eyebrows are just equally dark. This eyeshadow is perfect to fill them in with. It is a satin but when applied it looks matte. I highly recommend for anyone who has almost black brows!

Title: For Halloween, good buy!
Date: Nov 02, 2012
It was not the best quality but served its purpose for Halloween! My daughter loved it but I felt it came apart at some parts easily. However, it did last for 3 events that she attended. With a little maintenance, it was perfect to complete costume.

Title: Hmmm....
Date: Oct 29, 2011
This wig started out beautiful. But after wearing it for a costume party and then trying to wear it again for a Halloween Carnival, it was so frazzled and the pigtails were falling out. I had to try to fix it and re-do the pigtails for the carnival. I'm not sure if this is normal for wigs or not, but I was not impressed with how difficult this was to fix after one wearing. I would have thought it would stay a little better for the price...

Berthoud Recorder
This past July, the Berthoud Recorder wrote a story on the Loveland Elks' support of an Iraqi burn clinic run by the 82nd Airborne Division. When the 82nd Airborne returned to the United States, the burn clinic was turned over to the Iraqis, and according to Troop Support Committee member Larry Reisdorff, supplies the Elks have sent have since not reached their destination.
"We lost all of our contacts with them," he explained. "I just got a box back that we shipped that says, 'no longer in service.'"
However, Riesdorff added, the Elks continue to support the troops in other ways. In fact, they are in the process of putting together a holiday shipment, which will be sent out on November 15.
In the Elks latest newsletter, Riesdorff asked for as many cookies as people could bake. "We want to try to do a holiday thing," he said. He'll also include mints, candy, beef jerky, powder drinks, books, shampoo and Tabasco sauce.
"That's something they always ask for," Riesdorff said of the spicy sauce. "They love to kill the taste of the MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)."
"So far we've shipped 34 shipments to 18 different units," Riesdorff added. The total cost has been about $20,000, and the goods sent have included everything from soccer balls and feminine hygiene items to 300 pounds of coffee and a complete and brand new softball outfit. "We try to get basketballs, footballs … something to give the troops something to do," Riesdorff said. "A lot of them have free time and are sitting around twiddling their fingers."
Though the Elks don't get much direct feedback from troops, they often hear back from the appreciative families, who are typically directly connected with an Elks member. In fact, this shipment is being sent to a variety of individuals who are directly related to Elks Lodge members, including: Corporal Scott Marvick, who is with the Third Armored Calvary Reg. FOB Warhorse; Trevor Johnson, with the HOLO B Co. 2nd Aviation Wing; and his wife (they recently married), Specialist Kelli Aitken, who is with B Company 2-1 General Support Aviation, FOB Speicner.
"Our main goal is to support the troops period," Riesdorff explained. "But we want to try to support Colorado people first, and then go from there."
Riesdorff specifically requests money rather than used goods. It costs anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 to mail packages to Iraq and Afghanistan, and Riesdorff prefers purchasing new items rather than used goods. For more information, call the Elks Lodge at (970) 669-6330, or drop goods or checks off at 103 E. Fourth Street in Loveland.

There must be some sort of secret celebrity douche club I don't know about, because Kevin Federline and Paris Hilton were spotted partying together at Tao last Friday. Paris was with her boyfriend Josh Henderson though, so hopefully she and K-Fed weren't doing anything too horrifying. Can you imagine if these two actually did get together? Their kids would come out with flippers instead of arms. And I'm not sure if it's possible to have a negative IQ, but man would they try.
Paris Hilton and K-Fed get it on
disgusting and pathetic
what happened to the magical bra?
oh, my good. i dont know where is the end, where is this world going to…
good probably punished us with this because of the global warming, and he anounced the apocalypse with this.
sorry about the grammar mistakes in the comment 53. i ment god instead of good. whell, man, i am croatian i am aloud to make english grammar mistakes
Paris better watch her shit..she's messin with anti-brittney's X..maybe she'll do a Loraine Bobbit on his dick and then chock Paris with it!
His eyes look like they are ready to bleed.
It's nice to see Earl slumming again. Paris will be fat in no time.
#57 and pregnant
If they got it on, i imagine it would create a black hole from their combined lack of IQ. Like a vacuum gone wild. With a meshback on sideways.
Wait…where's her garbage bag or 80′s mompants???
She's so out of style!!!!
Look out Paris…. You gonna get THE SHOCKER!
I'm pretty sure that greenhouse gases come from Paris' crotch. Way to cause global warming, Captain Herpisyphilis.
Haha, if the first two don't rock 'er…. the third one will shock 'er!
They had to edit out the 40′s and the bingo hair
Two in the pinky, one in the stinky!
He think's he's black and she thinks she's attractive.
K-Fed is moving up the goldigger ladder:
Shar Jackson
Now Paris.
If he impregnates her and and marries into that family, it will be proof that he has near god-like powers, and people will start worshipping him.
before she was just gross…
Now shes the laughing stock of the entire world. How Desperate do you have to be. If you have to get off that fn bad BUY A VIBRATOR.
then again it is paris and i do oh so love laughing at her so god i pray she is knocked up that would be the celebrity laugh of my lifetime!!!
You've got to be fucking kidding me!!! Now K-Fed and Paris hang out?! What the fuck is wrong with people!
Hee hee……K-Fag's got some palsy going on with that claw/hand.
Oh god… there are no words.
PLEASE people you cannot let this happen.
If Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline are aloud to mate they will become a PURE EVIL/STUPID invincible duo known forever as P-Fed. In their hideous filthy reign the world will be covered in darkness for TEN MILLION years and we will all be forced to endure endless Paris+K-Fed concerts which would cause a world wide ear bleeding epidemic of epic proportions. The massive bloodshed, from our ears, would form a satanic river leading straight to PARIS and K-Fed, when the bloody stream reached
P-FED and pooled around their filthy diseased bodies it would be the dawn of super mutant STD unlike the world has ever seen, an STD made of every single STD EVER (since Paris and K-Fed have them all). Most of us will be killed or deformed by the heinous and horrific super disease and those who lived would be forced into slave labor in one of two Hilterline factories; one factory manufacturing ointment for Kevin's anal STD boils and the other manufacturing giant specialized size 11 women
#25 – LMFAO. Excellent thought!
K-Earl's face looks like one you'd see in the post office or on a highway rest stop billboard:
"This man owes his children $57,491.43″
{insert K-Earl's headshot here}
How much of Brit's child support will Shar ever see? Maybe Shar ought to take K-Earl back to court now.
Damn – I forgot to slag on Paris.
If she's at Tao with her boyfriend, did they bring in K-Earl for a 3-some? Anyone order a Paris Double Stacker?
Take note, all. Today, you have witnessed the day before the Anti-Christ was conceived.
He's saying; "Here…smell this before an infection sets in and I have to lose the hand."
These two shit streaks are so over.
Since when is Paris into the leftovers from Lindsay?
Although i've to admit,they could be the perfect couple in the eyes of Lucifer.
I Smell this guy is trying to get more MILLI@NS!
Two media whores found one another..a match for sure. He'll take anything he can get, she'll give it all easily, anytime, anywhere. Yep, it's a keeper.
What's next?Paris and Lindsay get it on?
the crips & bloods have a hand-sign/gesture that translates to
who knew
WTF is wrong with his hand???
she can suck his dick for all i care..everyone else gets it, he's scarey lookin in the eyes, freakboy.

Art Nouveau Mirror Slide Antique Locket
SOLDItem 11234
A statement of sheer presence, the strength of this Art Nouveau locket is its bold use of graphic design elements. Very grand in scale, this is a slide locket that is hinged at the top. It pivots and scissors open to reveal two compartments. One currently holds a mirror edged by braided red cord wrapped in silver; the other is a glass covered compartment lined with maroon velvet. Either or both could be removed to make room for photographs, snips of hair or other mementos.
Rendered with a confident hand, the Japanese aesthetic depicts a water scene with lotus blossoms adrift, the water's edge, a verdant bush and several abstract flowers - one of which appears to be a large lily.
Condition: Very good. Back has overall even wear as expected with age and use; due to the nature of the locket design, the pivot easily swings open and shut so when worn may separate slightly and return to a closed position.
Hallmarks: 800 for 800 parts silver out of 1000 (sterling is 925), a crown and two other illegible marks.
Measurements: Very large at 3-3/8 inches (8.5 cm) in length with the top "O" fitting by 1-3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in width by 3/8 of an inch (0.9 cm) in depth. Substantial weight of 53 grams (less if the mirror were removed to make room for a photograph).
Date & Origin: Circa 1890 and is Continental in origin.

Once again, East Valley school districts are shifting into high gear to offer options for families of gifted children.
Tempe Elementary School District announced plans this week to create the ASPIRE Academy at Connolly Middle School. It will offer self-contained classrooms for highly gifted middle school students, where they are put together in classrooms with other gifted students and taught under the guidance of a gifted-endorsed teacher. The only options for gifted students now in the district's middle schools are honors classes.
ASPIRE will offer children gifted classes in language arts, math, social studies and science, along with a project-based learning class, said Lori McClellan, gifted coordinator for Tempe Elementary School District.
"Parents (have) expressed an interest that they want this for their students. We also recognize some students who have left the district have indicated they would come back if they had a self-contained gifted program. We also want to make sure we're providing additional services to our most academically able students," McClellan said.
Enrollment would be based on an application process, with students required to test for gifted in at least two areas, she said. The district is hoping to open at least two classrooms for both sixth grade and seventh grade and at least one for eighth grade, but if interest varies, that may change.
Tempe Elementary estimates it has little more than 1,000 students identified as gifted in the district's population of 11,700 enrolled children.
Just this school year, the Chandler Unified School District opened The Academy at Knox, a school-within-a-school that gives gifted students a place of their own with a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). More than 200 students enrolled. With the high interest in the program, more classrooms will be opened for the 2012-2013 school year, which begins in July, as the district plans to gradually make the entire campus a gifted academy.
Chandler also has regionally placed self-contained classrooms throughout the district for gifted students.
A standing-room-only audience of parents, teachers and children sat in on a report Tuesday evening about gifted education in the Gilbert Unified School District. School leaders there are preparing a recommendation to create a self-contained classroom, possibly for the third grade, located somewhere in the district for next year, Superintendent Dave Allison told the Tribune later in the week.
Gilbert now offers cluster programming — where gifted students are put together with one teacher, as well as typical and highly performing students. The district also offers gifted writing and math programs for students in grades four through six.
The district governing board hopes to make a decision in early April for next fall.
Not lost on many gifted parents is the fact that lawmakers are trying to open up the state's voucher-like "empowerment accounts" to gifted students. The program now allows special needs students in public schools to receive funds that can be used for private school tuition if they agree to leave the public school setting. If HB 2626 becomes law, it would open it up to gifted students, as well as children of military servicemen and children in poorly performing schools.
Parents of gifted students are passionate about the types of programs they want for their children — and what works and doesn't work.
At the meeting Tuesday, a group of parents who have pulled their children out of the Gilbert school district and taken them to other schools, said the Gilbert program is lacking. They encouraged the governing board to shift into the self-contained model.
"I think a lot of parents of profoundly gifted children think that Gilbert Public Schools actually doesn't have a gifted program, but an accelerated program, extra homework," said Ashlee LeSueur, mom of two children who do not attend Gilbert district schools now. But LeSueur pointed out that if the district were to change, it could draw in parents who have left, as well as children from surrounding school districts.
Stacey Eddy, who has two gifted children, said she pulled her kids out of Gilbert district schools two years ago because, "the gifted program wasn't serving my children." She said she may move back to the district if a self-contained option existed.
"The idea of a self-contained gifted program is appealing to me," she said.
Gilbert school board member Staci Burk agreed.
"I think it's important we attract students this next year before we continue to lose students to other charter schools or other options," she said.
While not specifically targeted to gifted students, Chandler district's Basha High School announced plans to offer its own "academy" to sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students in the fall with a focus on pre-Advance Placement and honors courses.

FDA, Drug Companies Struggle with Compassionate Use Requests
By Jill Wechsler | Published: May 13, 2014
A national publicity campaign recently succeeded in obtaining early access to an experimental treatment for a seriously ill child, touching off a broader discussion of compassionate use policies and their impact on drug development and approval.

Patients on the Picket Line
Good science can't be rushed, even when the lives of patients hang in the balance. But regulatory science, and its relationship to a drug's commercial success or failure, can inadvertently block access to individual patients in their hour of need.

Vodafone CEO calls for end of "free-ism"
UK-based mobile operator Vodafone was one of the earliest providers to call an end to the all you can eat data buffet and CEO Vittorio Colao believes more tiers are on the way.
Tiered services are a step backward
The dominoes are beginning to tumble. The move toward tiered pricing for mobile data services started by AT&T is spreading, with the news that O2 UK is also abandoning flat-rate subscriptions in favor of tiered services, and more are bound to follow. However, in an age and an industry in which the new focus is on what customers want, rather than what their service providers think they want, it seems incongruous for operators to offer services based on their own needs rather than those of their customers.
Tiers start flowing at O2 UK
The floodgates have opened, as UK carrier O2 becomes the latest operator to put an end to all you can eat data. New and upgrading smartphone users will be affected, making the move rather timely in light of the imminent launch of the iPhone 4.

I'm too lazy to rhyme...it takes too much time...
Exactly. I made a hellacool guitar line thingy. I just felt like saying hella. I set up an appointment with the rock school guy. When I told Jackie about it, she didn't really care at all. And Jenn and Gail wouldn't exactly go there for any specific purpose. So it's like I'll be there alone. Oh well, that's cool. I can join a new band and stuff. And we can be all bandlike. And they have should have hellacool equipment there. Yaay. I just sneezed on my Squier. Don't worry, there's not snot or anything on there. Damn you chapstick...getting me sick...it's all Jenn's fault. But it's only Jenn's fault because of Kam. Damn Kam. Getting me sick. Hopefully I'll be good for the FATA show. Pretty Squier...I love you. I'm gonna put all my time this week into my bat so I can be hellacool for the guitar guy on Saturday. But we might go tomorrrow if we can. I like the word hellacool. I'm gonna start saying hellacool. So I can be all 'whoa! That's hellacool!' Fun fun. WE'LL TO YOU IN THE YEAR 2000! Silverchair is hellacool. I haven't heard 'em in awhile 'cause Troy was the only with the CD. I'm gonna make a pin out of my I.R. pick. It'll be hellacool. I should stop that. Before you think I hellasuck. Ok, I'll really stop now. Wait, one last time, HELLACOOL! Ok, I'm good.

Sit back and watch as your heart fills with fire, a growing desire, an item within...
My mom gave me cash on Friday so we went to Sound Waves. I would've invited Sarah but she called up and bitched about not inviting her to anything and denying the fact that she pretty much likes any band I like. So we went to Sound Waves, Jenn-less ::tear::, and Gail met Rachelle Smith who was with this freaky chick named Nikki or something. So after asking for pot and talking about sex and stuff (Jackie had like a permanent turtle face), we walked around and stuff. Some guy had a Strong Bad shirt and I was wearing my Strong Sad shirt and he said that both of our shirts were awesome or something like that...and ummm...Five Minute Freakshow was better than the last time I saw them. And I dunno. So we came home. Jenn called and said her mom refused to drive her, so my mom, being the awesome, loving mum she is, picked her up in the mafia car. So we came back made our cake, laughed at each other, ate Easy Cheese crap...eww...We also stuck m&ms in a candle and that's pretty much it. Jenn had a shirt with a 'condom pocket' so I asked my mom if she had a condom because I was determined to see if it would fit but I don't think she heard me. That or she was trying to not to hear her daughter talking about condoms. Exactly. So we slept, with Jackie and Jenn fighting over covers on the bed, me with the Travis blanket on the floor and Gail with my old Minnie blanket on the bean bag chair. Jenn woke up early and then she kept talking to Jackie and I so we were up and Gail was still sleeping. So Jackie decided she was going to go downstairs for some unknown reason, so we lock her out. She comes back up 15 minutes later and starts scratching at my door and peeling my quotes off but still, the door stays locked. So she says that 'shes leaving so she needs to come in and get her stuff' so we let her in. And she grabs her stuff, but fails to grab her shoes. Seeing this opportunity, Gail and Jenn each hide one of her shoes. So she searches and only finds one, so she couldn't leave. And then she started being all sad and stuff and we were like 'but we love you Jackie' and she was all blah blah and I'm all 'well, I try to show my love but you're all ::shrinks away from touch::' and Jenn's all 'we love you Jackie' and it was all...yeah...exactly. So with Jackie semi-satisfied, we head downstairs eat a bit, head back upstairs and jam out a bit. I taught Jenn the bass line for Crazytrain so she was all DODO, DODO, DODO, DODO. And I'm all dodo do do do do do do dodo do do dodo do do...exactly. We accomplished a tiny bit. I tuned my guitar all stupid to see if Shawn's LP tab books are right. And Jenn learned guitary/bassy crap. And Jackie did some bass work. And Gail and I just played guitar the whole time. But it was still semiuseful. After that, we headed back downstairs so Jenn could call her mom. Then we played with fire for a little while. Then Jenn left, and we retrieved our frozen egg. We cut it in half and then Gail payed me 5 bucks to take a bite out of it. I didn't have to swalllow, but I still had to taste the damn thing. It was nasty. And she's giving Jackie 8 bucks for drinking water that she poured in the candle. How nice. So Gail and Jackie left and then I slept for awhile. My parents left, so I came down and went on the computer and made fun of Shawn for a little while. Then I got dressed and all that crap and got bored so I put my hair in pig tail thingys. How fun. And then I did my math homework. What a disaster. I put my book down and here it is plainly visible, "I am a whore ~Sarah" in big Jackie letters. So my mom's like 'what's this?!' and I'm just like "that would be Jackie" so now my dad's all MAKE HER BUY YOU A NEW BOOK COVER OR I'LL TELL HER PARENTS! So my plan is to put that cover on my bio book and use a purple one. Or just exchange covers with Jackie to hide my tracks. Sadly Jackie, I don't think my parents like you all that much anymore. They do appreciate the social contact though. So after that, we watched Once Upon A Time In Mexico with the dead sexaay Johnny Depp and I read Jenn's book thing she wanted me to read. It was actually pretty cool and stuff. I wish I could spend my entire year of art class drawing trees and stuff, even if I was never satisfied with 'em. And I bet that teacher was way better then Braun...alright, I'm headin' out....goodbye to all.
The Theories of a Shattered Mind:
M&M's are not meant for candles. They are simply a sick tool for trying to teach children the letter M. Give the child candy and get them to learn at the same time! LOOK MOM! I CAN SPELL MMM! At least they're not K's. But they do share one special purpose--lighting them on fire. Although they scar your candle forever and are a severe misuse of candy privileges, they are still fun to burn.

Running out of places to hide, just this little hole to which I am confined...
My stomach hurt, so I decided, hey, I'll eat some Chinese fried noodley things. It didn't help much. Now that I've told you all the half of the bunny story...oh wait, I didn't tell Jenn...oh well...anyway...my dogs decided they were going to eat my dad's bagel and spill his coffee while he was taking a nap or whatever, I'm not allowed to walk them. So they won't shut up. But now they're all watching me eat Chinese fried noodley things. I don't know if we're having OBP at my house or Jackie's. Owww my stomach hurts soo bad. Well, my mom would be upstairs the entire time...so that would be a plus...but my house sucks...which would be a minus or whatever. Exactly. I have to go 'cause my stomach is eating itself.

Hello my devoted readers...you all smell like bird feeders.
You try coming up with something that rhymes with readers! That doesn't count! Hey...that ummm...AT LEAST I DON'T SMELL LIKE A BIRD FEEDER! Exactly. Today wasn't so bad. Except that fact that Jackie kept on being all 'you suck 'cause you don't have a cool name like Jackielyn and Jennyfer!'...asswhore...plus, she got the cool pen...and she broke the one I had! Once again, such an asswhore. My mathbook has become a refuge for chapstick and other lip-related make up. Fun fun. And umm...I finally wrote a poem-y thingy called Irony. I said I would, so I figure I might as well. And I couldn't find something that fit and rhymes with real (yes, I tried heal and feel) so as of this point it goes "I found truth that was always false when a vegetarian ate some veal" Exactly. I am such a retard. I'll type the whole thing up...
In light I find the darkness
My sickness is my health
In pain I see pure happiness
In destitution I found wealth
My simiplicity is complicated
My purity corrupted
I was lost but never missing
My inner peace erupted
One time I died but still I live
Imagining what was real
I found truth that was always false
when a vegetarian ate some veal...

And I get my braces off in 2 months...finally. Spent the day playing Monopoly again. Sarah didn't win either games so ::sticks tongue out:: I should really study for history. Oh yeah, I get to go smash our old mouse. YAY! ooo, then I should set in on FIRE! mmm...fire...and uhhh...smashing things is fun! YAY! My shower door is attached. Ok, there is a slight chance we might not have school tomorrow. It's almost definite for a 2 hour delay. But if we have no school, we should have band practice. AH! MY COMPUTER SAID CUTIE PIE!

If you want to read about my whole exciting weekend, go check out Gail's journal. Highlights: I got my forehead stamped...twice. ANyway, today, Sarah and Kelly came over and we decided to play Monopoly 'cause Sarah claims that she kicks our asses at any game. Suuure...and then we went over there and ate quesidillas. Those weren't fucking hot, you guys are insane. And ummmm....the guy from BGL smashed his guitar. That was awesome. And another guy killed his amp. Ooo...we have to go see the Butterfly Effect. But we shouldn't, 'cause we lack CASH. I'm gonna have to work my ass off til summer. Then I get my job at BK 'cause Jackie will hire me 'cause I'm 'responsible'. I know what you're thinking, AND I AM RESPONSIBLE! Oooh yeah...I was supposed to let Gail borrow The Crow. I'll get it to her eventually...

Exactly. Anyway, I was reading our newsletter thingy and apparently some 7th grader won another national contest or something...now who was his teacher you ask? Mrs. Getz. Also, the style of writing is similar to a certain someone's winning paper. That lady is soo cheating. Oh, and I think Adam Flammer was in a car accident. My mom was telling me how her friend's daughter that I hung out with a couple times was in a car accident with this chick that she wasn't supposed to drive with and then she showed me the article in the paper and it said 'Adam Flammer, 16, some address of Hamburg' He hasn't been in school in a couple days. Oh well. Don't care. I just figured I'd mention it. Or whatever. STILL don't know what's going on tomorrow. Yet again, oh well. Uhhhh...yeeeaaah...du....du hast....I just remembered that some people still have to take the verbal German test. And that I haven't studied at all for it. Oh well, I'll study in my newly acquired study hall. That's so conveniently directly before German. Yeah...I'm headin' out...

How should I begin my day? There's just so much for me to say...
OK, rhyming sucks. Anyway...I got up at 8 o clock yesterday. Shawn wanted to be there at 12, but we left at like 9. We picked up BKP guy and BKJ and shoved 'em in the back 'cause we only had one extra seat so we figured they could just hang out back there. We stopped at Sheetz, how interesting. We had to drive really really slow because it was all snowy/freezingrainy. If my dad had remembered to pay for the gas, we could have been hit by remnants of a tractor trailer thingy that crashed. Oh well. So we drived to NY. We stopped and asked a cop where to go even though Shawn and the BKP guy were now in the back. Retards... But we got there at like 3. We sent out the guys and me and BKJ went with my parents to find some umbrellas. First, my dad bought a 15 dollar one at some place, but we made him return it, so we went to oddjob or something and got 3 for 10 bucks. So now, at 320, we joined the guys in the snowy/freezingrainy mix and extreme cold for 3 hours. IT WAS FUCKING HORRIBLE!!! Plus, with our luck, there was this really annoying dude that wouldnt shut up right behind us. Then this whore showed up at like 5 that had nothing but a tank top on. A fucking tank top in a snowy/freezingrainy mix and extreme cold. So a little after 6, they decided to break the line into 2, which means frantic people running. A couple guys that weren't even there for an hour got in front of us. So anyway, we were fucking squished as all hell for 5 minutes until they finally decided to start taking tickets. We got in the actual floor area at like 630, so we had to stand there doing nothing for half an hour until Story of the Year came on. They're really good at putting on a show, but I wouldn't buy a cd. They were too AFIish for me. I'd stop for 'em on the radio but I wouldn't actually spend any sort of money on them, and if I got there cd, I'd listen to it twice and let it collect dust. AND THE KID RIGHT IN FRONT OF US GOT A PICK! But anyway...next came Hoobastank. The guy wouldn't get off his damn box (he had a box to stand on). Then, during Spinning out of control, the large collection of fat chicks behind us started going insane. I figured 'hey, we're surrounded by chicks, we won't get pushed around at all!' but alas, we did. And on top of that, they all had very high pitched screams. And the crowd surfers didn't help any. So thinking the pushing was over for now, 'cause POD sucks ass, we just waited for the horridness to end. But all of a sudden, we were bombarged with an assload of crowd surfers. I got slammed into Shawn and then pushed into him so I couldn't even move my arms. Then, the crowd relaxed for a few seconds so I got my arms out and then another load comes. My arm got stuck between Shawn's arm and side and I had to hold on to the dude in front of him so I wouldn't fall over. It was horrible. Who fucking crowd surfs to POD? So that entire time, I couldn't move my arms at all, was entirely too close to Shawn then I ever want to be and had some random dude clinging to my back for dear life. And then the last song came on. Oh my fucking god. There was like 20 people crowd surfing at once. One of 'em fell down right behind BKJ and kicked her. BKP guy picked 2 up by himself to throw him. And thank god for the beefy guy clinging to my back. So me and BKJ got outta there 'cause if it was like this for POD, then for Linkin Park it would be horrible. So we went out and got a soda for 4 bucks, and went back in and were at like the center of the floor. We could see perfectly fine but weren't pushed up against each other until we couldn't move at all. yay. So after the show, we found Shawn and walked our freezing asses over to the car where my parents were talking about some dude at the bar. Shawn got a long sleeved shirt for 10 bucks. I LOVE YOU PARKING LOT! So it took us 30 minutes to get out of the parking lot, but we got home in only 3 hours, so the ride was better. I came home, ate some creamy salsa dip, and slept. Wow. I still have to do my math homework. And I should really study for german...

What else should I say? Everyone is gay.
That's the only thing I could think of. It's from Nirvana by the way. Retards...anyway...mmm...root beer again. My mom's goin' to pick up Shawn from college tonight so he can go to the LP concert on Sunday. Holy crap, I'm typing really slow 'cause my fingers are frozen. I tried to make muffiny things, but I only had half a bag of chocolate chips, so they're kinda nasty. Crappy online recipe finders... My Paint Jackie that I made in computer class-"My love for Brando has cast me into oblivion. Every moment without him is more tragic than the last. Where is my shining star? My light that keeps me going? The one person who understands my lethal ways?" ::snickers:: We shouldn't have had that damn delay man. That was a load of asscrap. Yes, asscrap. Jackie was practicing her speech thing, but she messed up and she stopped, so I said 'dude, you have to stop using and in between sentences' and she fucking smack me across the face. That asswhore. Just trying to help... But anyway...I got distracted again...anyway, ummm...I'm considering asking my mom to get me zoloft. I don't even play my guitar often anymore. I play it often I guess, but just for like 2 minutes at a time. And I'm just like naturally depressed. Nothing gives me joy anymore. Oh well. I'll live...ok, maybe I won't...that damn knifeblade thing attached to my nailclippers was a little too tempting for comfort yesterday.

I'll try to make all my subjects rhyme, so look for that next time...
'Ello. Eatin' creamy salsa dip+tortilla chips and drinkin' slightly flat root beer. Without Shawn, there seems to be an endless supply of both. That bastard took my good smelling shampoo with him. Oh well. There's also always orange juice. Which is why I probably haven't been getting much sleep. I'm probably having dreams but not remembering them. (My mom always tells me not to drink orange juice before going to bed 'cause it makes you have dreams). It's cold. Anyway...ummm...ooo my Seether icon is mesmerizing. ooooo... Jackie's a slow typer. Or she's retarded. I think it's a combination of both. I kick ass in computer class. I don't even see the point of this crap. I finish it all in a couple minutes. I'll try to make this semi-long since Jenn said that these are getting increasingly shorter. Hey, I used that phrase to describe hers awhile ago. I think it was in the IR guestbook. I will move away from here, you don't be afraid of fear. I DON'T HAVE TO DO MY SPEECH TIL TUESDAY! ::claps!:: I forgot to call Terese again. I'll call her Friday or something. Maybe. I love Nirvana. ::mumbles about Courtney fuckin' Love:: I doooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I dooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I think Gail and Jackie have abandoned their journals. Ewww, I have to clean this computer room. It's all ash-y. Crappy dad. OOO I CAN PLAY THAT! ::sings:: GRANDMA TAKE ME HOME! (that's Sliver for all you non-Nirvana retards). I haven't played my bat in a couple days. I feel unfulfilled. It's cold to play now though. Especially the bass. It would hurt like hell. The bass needs a nickname. I got the Squier, the Bat...and ummmmm...I'll figure it out...

^For some reason, Jackie and Sarah found this quite entertaining. ooo Brandon Boyd from Incubus looks really hot in the Megalomaniac video...his hair is all longish and stuff...yeah, I'm sure you care. mmm ROOT BEER! My dad got me a sandwich thing from Sheetz and he got jalapenos and onions on it, both of which I have never liked and repeatedly tell him I don't like. I like peppery flavor, but I just don't really like eating them whole. exactly. I gotta feed the pups. Ok...ooo lighter! damn you diesel! Anyway...umm...AH! Gail spilled milk on my hoodie!

God save us all...
Apparently, I have a bunch of random cousins in California that will be coming up for the November wedding, so my mum's like "Now we have to learn the salsa dance!" So now I guess I'm going to be forced to salsa. Stupid crap. And now that my dreams of moving to Miami are trashed...I couldve gotten me grandmum to teach me Spanish 'cause me dad's too lazy to...and then I could be all...Miami like and stuff. Looks like I'm goin' to Virginia or something. Anywhere but here. Well, as long as its not a redneck state. Like KY or something. I have to study for my cooking final. Joy.

This weekend was slightly eventful...
My dad made me plantains! mmmm...plantains. And me, Gail, and Sharayah ate tacos and then went to see ThrodL. There weren't many people there at all. And most of them were old. But it was still cool. We were kinda being harassed by ThrodL's new guitarist. But he's cool. And ummm...the singer from the first band did the chicken dance. I don't think he meant to. But it was pretty chicken-y. And ummm...I told Sharayah to ask random people for a hacky sack, and she finally listened and this dude had one so her and Gail and these other random dudes were playing. And I was laughing horribly at them. And Gail tried doing her Kam call but he wasn't there. And ummm...I bought a ThrodL hoodie. And ummm...yeah...Then I came home and slept.
I had to get up at 6 o clock in the morning which was horrible. And the heat sucks on our new car thing so we literally froze man. It was horrible. We went to my grandpa's house and him and Mina and my dad were talking in spanish the whole time, it was confusing. Me and Shawn were just like 'uhhhh....' I was like She just said du! That means you! DAMNIT THAT'S GERMAN! And then we went to NY for the party thing. There was tons of food because the entire other family is Italian. So they were all talking in Italian and my dad was talking to his dad in spanish so once again, there's me and Shawn just like 'uhhh...' The food was really good. But there was a lot of it. And people wonder why Italian women are always fat...When they're young, they're usually skinny, but once they get married they balloon quickly. Oh well. Wow, this entry was really boring. And stuff.

I've been listening to Nirvana constantly now...it's fun! AND HE LIKES TO SING ALOOONG!" ASHTRAYS ARE MADE FOR A PURPOSE...crappy father...::mumbles incoherently::...and I say yeah...Those inflation needles are still here...Shawn doesn't have money at the moment so he won't buy candy yet. But I'm sure he'll get around to it. It's not like there's anything else to do around here. Me go play bat. And I have to erase a certain few things from the wall...I changed one to say "Krystal + The Bat FOREVER!" I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks...
