I echo what others have said: The yellow tanks help to break up the teal color of Hydron. He looks better with the tanks.
Why is it the na fans that always get this treatment?

I'm relieved I was right about the tank lying around in a box somewhere.
Awesome sticker included!
Im glad that now I don't have to hunt around for an extra Stinkor tank to paint and customize into a scuba tank!
You know, I have to tell you that I met with Toy Guru last year at Power-Con and he couldn't have been nicer to me. There's no question but that NA didn't live up to its expectations and that the other eras were much more popular. But the fact is that we did produce sixty-five episodes of NA and never during or after has anyone at Mattel dissed me.
In fact, TG shared one of the comics with me and playfully pointed out that He-man's last line in that edition was "Are you ready for some 'new adventures'?"
Again, as the creator of NA and writer of thirty-seven of its episodes, I will categorically tell you that neither TG nor Mattel has ever made me feel as if NA was some sort of outcast black sheep. Quite to the contrary, TG has always interacted with me as a gentleman and a professional.
I can definitely believe this. Scott is a real stand-up guy, and a huge fan, like the rest of us. If New Adventures figures don't perform as well as other figures, i.e. PoP/vintage, then I am sure it is his only option to produce figures that will (most likely) sell in bigger numbers.....
With that said, I certainly don't like it. I personally feel that NA has some of the most interesting, cool, and unique characters in all of MOTU. The 4H have proven that they fit right in with all other eras, and NA is a HUGE part of He-Man's history!!!
It breaks my heart that we actually have to choose between Darius, Mara, and Tuskador.... that is like choosing between family members; an impossible choice and one that will NOT have a good outcome. Why? Because these are ALL great characters that deserve to be made! I am sad just thinking about all of the awesome potential NA has in MOTUC's....... potential we may never see. Quakke, Staghorn, Vizar, Spinwit, Crita, Lizorr, Hoove, Sebrian, Kayo, Nocturna, Caz, Drissi .......... and the list goes on and on....... ALL are worthy!

MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
1st: Yay for Hydron getting his SCSBA gear (Self Contained Space Breathing Apparatus). Now maybe we can take a deep breathe and enjoy Hydron.
2nd: Well, said. I was never a NA fan (still don't like the look of the originial toys) but the Classics NA figures are well done. I love the concepts of all the NA characters (I was a GI Joe kid so Vizar and Nocturna appeal to me). I think that Scott will continue to get the NA figures out as best as he can. I'm pretty sure that he wants a complete He-man collection (NA, Vintage, PoP, Filmation, Mini-Comics, etc) as much as I do, if not more so. I think that we will see NA figures come out in 2016 to 2017. I'm hoping for that SDCC/Power-Con 6 pack of Galactic Guardians. It will cost an arm and a leg but it would knock the whole group out in one swing. Or 3 Mutants and 3 Guardians in a battle diorama pack, like the Man of Steel SDCC pack this year.

Glad TG cleared that up, not sure how he misunderstood the original question, but glad that the CPT will still get the tank.
Jii Dee regarding Matty's view on MOTUC Collectors: "Here be whiny surrender monkey dragons".
MOTUC NEEDS: Sssqueeze, Dragstor, Saurod, Blast Attack, & Lord Masque.
Holy smokes! That would be a dream come true! Unfortunately, there would have to be massive fan-demand, which I still believe is possible, but not until most of the PoP and Vintage stuff is made...... which really irks me to no extent.
Really, New Adventures should have been given a fairer shake right from the get-go. It has been five years (which equals roughly 140 unique figures) and only five of them are from New Adventures. That. is. ridiculous.
All we can do is wait, and keep our fingers crossed for something along the lines of a NA mini-sub. Of all the polls I've seen here on the .org, the one's asking about a NA sub always seem to be in favor of it..... it is still a possibility....

Captain Hydron turned out great, but dang I wanted a non helmeted "human" head for a 2nd display option like Flipshot and GG He-man
NA fans suffer the most collecting this line and thats purely due to the lack of character representation. The Horsemen "kill it" with every NA figure they have done so far, its a shame we only got a small taste.
A deluxe New Adventures box set (6 to 10 figs) would be a dream come true for this guy!
I can dream cant I?
Goat Man is the MOTUC 2014 Traveling Con Exclusive! Im officially the happiest boy in the whole world.
Yeah, it is a bummer he does not have a normal head like flipshot.
I wish the proposed head pack would just be an all era head pack.
I want NA Skeletor and Rio Blast and I want them now!
Just for the record: my Stinkor's mouth piece was NEVER able to sit properly and tightly on his face... so I guess I prefer Hydron the way he is.they could have given Hydron a nose and mouth at least...and the red mouthpiece could be like Stinkor's
Should have given him a Tom Cruise head.
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.

Well the software patent is never going to be a past. Every other other day you hear some company used ideas of some other company. This is what is going to happen in coming years.

Oral History Program Trudy Damon Interviewed by Marci Farr 14 October 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Trudy Damon Interviewed by Marci Farr 14 October 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Trudy discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Trudy Damon and she attended St. Benedict's School of Nursing. It is October 14, 2010 and we are interviewing her in her home in Brigham City, Utah. Tell us a little bit about your early life, about your family, where you grew up, and also where you attended school. TD: I was born and raised in Ohio—West Lake, Ohio now—it used to be Dover Center. I grew up there and went to school until I was in my junior year of school at Dover High School. My dad moved to Lakewood. My last six months I had to be in a bigger school of two hundred and fifty students up from thirty-six students. I graduated from Lakewood High School in Ohio. From there, I waited about a year, I worked, and then I went to Ohio State University. I entered the nurses program there. I was interviewed by Miss Hall, the head of the students. My girlfriend and I were both there. We said we didn't know if we could go because we didn't have a job or anything. She said, "I have a job for you." She gave us a job at the hospital, we worked four hours a day at the hospital for our meals. My dad just had tuition which was twenty-five dollars a quarter. MF: That is good. TD: We were able to manage that. I went there in 1940 and in '41 the war broke out. I quit and happened to be engaged at the time. So I quit and got married. My 2 husband was in the naval reserve for awhile. When he was called we got married. He went overseas, I was with him for awhile when he was stationed in Miami a couple of times but then he went overseas and I stayed home. That is about it. So I gave up the schooling when the war broke out. MF: That would be a challenge. Where was he at when he was stationed overseas? TD: He went overseas on a little destroyer escort to Ireland. I think they were carrying some of the soldiers, I am just not sure. Everything was kind of secret but he was overseas and he came back. He told me, "Be back in New York." So I just got a room in New York all by myself and waited for him. I didn't know if he was going to get back or not. And he did, he got back into port and found me. He had to call home to my sister to find out where I was in New York and met me there. Then he was transferred to some chaser training center in Florida. So I went down there with him and we lived in Florida for a short time. Then his orders came through and he went up to Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland. The war was practically over by then. MF: So how did you make it to Utah? TD: Oh dear. We lived in Lima, Ohio. He had a real good job at Ford Motor Company. Somehow he had a call from out here and decided to come out for an interview with Thiokol. He said, "I don't know whether to go out there or not and work," because it was way out west and there we were back east. We all put what we wanted to do on a piece of paper and vote. The kids did too. I guess we all said yes that we wanted to go. It was a big step for us. It was a real big 3 step for us to come west. I missed my sisters most of all when I came, and my dad. MF: But that was best for your family, huh? TD: Yes but they got to come out here. It was kind of a challenge because a lot of people that came here left. The wives didn't like it, they wouldn't stay. They didn't like the area. I got involved with bowling and church work and things. It was just good. Then I went—when did I go back to nurses' training? I've got to think about that. Gary was going in the Navy and I stopped by St. Ben's—we were driving out that way—I said, "I'll go in and see Sister Cassian." So I went in to see her. My daughter had gone into nurse's training in Colorado Presbyterian Hospital in Denver. She called me on the phone one night, she said, "Mom there is a lady here that is fifty-one and she is coming into our class. It is not too late for you to go back." I quit to get married. I had always wanted to go back. So she said, "Why don't you see about doing that?" I called St. Ben's and saw Sister Cassian and went to talk with her—I was forty at the time—no, she said there was a limit of forty years of age. I said, "That lets me out," because I was forty-four. She said, "Wait a minute, not too fast! Maybe we can work it out." I was happy about that because I just wanted to do something. There was another lady that was thirty-seven years old. She wanted to go back too. And one other lady, so there were three older ladies with all the young gals that were seventeen. It was kind of interesting but it was fun. We had good teachers. MF: You didn't have to stay at the dorms, did you? 4 TD: Oh no, I lived at home. My classes were such that I was home by the time that my one son that was still in eighth grade—I wanted to be home when he got home from school and I was able to get home. I left in the morning just before he left for school. I said, "Will you be okay?" He said, "Yes, I'll get on the bus." We lived out in Perry so he was real good about that. MF: That is good. Who were some of your instructors that you remember? TD: Sister Keith, Mrs. Farr—is she any relation to you? MF: Her husband and my husband's great-great grandfather are brothers. So yes, the long way around. TD: I will never forget in the one class we had that she said, "I never liked geriatric nursing." I thought, "What a thing to say to a class when you are coming in." Everything else she liked but geriatric nursing. I think that stuck with me and I never wanted to go into it either. But anyway we had a real nice class. I think of all the girls that got started we lost quite a few. They say, I think we had about thirty when we started but all the girls didn't finish. MF: So why do you think they dropped out, because of grades or do you think other things came up? TD: That could be, grades, I don't know why, maybe they just didn't like it. MF: That always is a challenge. Do you remember some of the doctors that you worked with? TD: I don't remember. There was one that had the GI gastro, Doctor Grua. The nursing instructors, there were Sister Keith, Sister Cassian never taught us 5 anything, Mrs. Farr, the pharmacy nurse—I worked in the pharmacy for awhile and I can't think of her name. Would you know? MF: I was trying to think of—Sister Danile? Was that her? TD: Yes. I think so. She was kind of short. Sister Keith got ill and they transferred the classes over to Weber. MF: That is interesting that they would have done that so abruptly. TD: They took us in. We didn't—you couldn't get into Weber but they accepted us because we had that class. I don't know what they did in the nursing into that but they did. There were only two or three of us that went to St. Ben's. All the rest of the girls went down to Salt Lake. MF: Oh down to Holy Cross? TD: Yes I think so. I couldn't go down to Holy Cross because I lived in Perry. I had to drive every day. MF: That would make it hard. MJ: You finished your training at Weber then? TD: Yes. We graduated from Weber. We had a June graduation that was outside with all the rest of the students. It was a long line. MF: What do you remember most about the Sisters while you were at St. Benedict's? TD: They were strict, really strict but real nice. They were all helping you. I got along with all of them. MF: Do you remember any in particular? Was Sister Berno still there at that time? TD: No. I don't remember that name. MF: So Sister Cassian had taken over. 6 TD: Yes she was there, she interviewed me. MF: So she was probably the director. TD: Yes she was the director. She was really nice. I will never forget the day after state boards we had to go down to Salt Lake for a couple of days. I was walking down in the hall at the hospital when I was working and she stopped me in the hall. I had my name but I didn't have anything except my name. There was something else on it but she took it off so it showed RN. She let me know I passed. MF: That is a good thing. Did you have to do any rotations at that time? Did you have to do anything out of state? TD: No. I did a little bit at the Dee Hospital, the old Dee. MF: Yes the old, old Dee Hospital. TD: The old Dee in the psych ward which was interesting. I only had to go there a couple of days and just watch and talk with people that were in it. The patients were walking around. I don't know why they were doing that. There was one gal that had been on there. She had taken an overdose of aspirin that I remember that I talked with. It was interesting. It is so long ago I can't really—I mean really, I am eighty-nine now. I wonder if I can remember anything. MF: Did you have rotations on every floor? Did you have so many hours that you had to put in? TD: Yes. MF: Which floor did you enjoy the most? 7 TD: Probably—it wasn't the nursery I don't think. I saw one baby being born though. I can't remember really what floor, I liked them all I guess. MF: Did you have a least favorite rotation? TD: I remember one I had to sit and watch kids through a window. You had to observe children, that must have been a class though that I had at Weber. We had to study children. I liked everything, I had to to get through. MF: Do you remember about your capping ceremony? Do you remember when that took place? Did they do a capping ceremony? TD: Yes they did. I had pictures of my capping and Sister Cassian capping me. It wasn't the cap from Weber. It was the cap from—I have misplaced it and I can't find it anymore. I am just going to have to look until I do. I was hoping I could find it so you would have it. I do have a picture of that. I was going to show it to you girls. I will show it to you after this film. It is a real nice picture of the girls that got capped. I had it and I told Gary, "I have misplaced it." I don't know if it is downstairs or where. I said, "I'd found it." I saw it and I was kneeling and she was capping me with the St. Ben's cap. I can't find that cap anywhere. But I have my cap from Weber. MF: Oh good. When was graduation? TD: June of '69. MF: That was the year I was born so it is a good year. What did you do after you graduated? Did you stay at St. Benedict's or did you go to a different hospital? TD: I stayed at St. Benedict's awhile and then my husband worked out at Thiokol. He talked with the doctor that worked out there. They needed a nurse. 8 MF: Oh so industrial nursing. TD: I had nothing to do with industrial nursing in my classes but I got the job with Doctor Lewis. He had been at St. Ben's for awhile. So I worked with him for eleven and a half years before he left. I missed him when he left. We got another younger doctor in there but I worked almost twelve years out there. MF: What do you think was probably your greatest challenge going through nurses' training? TD: When I went back to Weber I had to take some other courses that weren't really—they were college courses. It was rough. I told my husband I never would have gotten through physics if he hadn't helped me. MF: That is good. TD: As I remember, Ohio State physics was terrible. And I got a terrible grade and had a terrible instructor. It was awful. MF: We are glad you made it through. That is a good thing. Did you have anything you wanted to ask her? MJ: I was wondering—when you first started nurses' training in Ohio, what made you decide that you wanted to be a nurse? TD: My mother was ill when I was—she was very ill and died in 1935. I was in ninth grade. I took care of her in bed. She called me Trudy and nobody else did. Kids used to call me Ort in school. She said, "You'd make a good nurse." My mother said that to me. I was just in high school and my mom died. I just always thought I'd like to be a nurse. Then the war came along and I got married. 9 MF: Do you think you appreciated your training since you were starting out when you had children? Do you think it was easier? I know it wasn't probably easier but you had more dedication because you had a family already. TD: It could be because my daughter had entered nurses' training. She encouraged me too because she always knew I wanted to be one because I had left training. MJ: How far into your training did you get before you got married? TD: There was a first year you had because it was at Ohio State. You had a first year of nothing but studies and no clinical work. Then the first six months of the next year was clinical work of six months. If you could've seen the uniforms that we had—the skirts, the sleeves, and the aprons, and we had to wear black stockings while we were in the first part of it. We couldn't wear our white shoes yet because it was the probationary period. MJ: Did you get into the clinical work in Ohio before you got married or did you just have that first year? TD: I just had that first year. I quit and went home and got a job. So I left the nursing and never went back until I had gotten married. MJ: That was quite a big period where you weren't in the training, was there a big difference when you went back? Did you notice a big change in the way that they taught the courses? TD: Yes. I worked at the hospital in the supply room when I was going to college. I cleaned needles with ether, the liquid ether. Then we would wash them and wrap them and send them up to the autoclaves. I worked in the central supply room with this girl I was going to school with. It was a little bit different than 10 throwing away everything now. It was glass syringes and needles, it was interesting. It was a good job to have. MF: So what did you do after you were at Thiokol? Did you stay there? TD: I worked there almost twelve years. MF: Did you retire after that? TD: I retired when I was sixty-three. I didn't want to work anymore. I could have gone on and worked another couple of years but that was a long drive out there for me. I worked swing shift but that was the one I liked. Doctor Lewis, when he lost a day nurse, he said, "Don't you want to work days with me?" I thought, "Oh I don't want to get up at five in the morning and have to drive out there." I thanked him anyway. He was always good to me. He was good to work for. So I just worked the swing shift. MF: That is great. Well thanks for letting us come visit with you. We appreciate you sharing your memories about St. Benedict's. TD: I am glad too. MF: I am glad you called us up so we could get your story.

A famine in Israel, The Shunammite obtains her land. (1-6) Elisha consulted by Hazael, Death of Benhadad. (7-15) Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah. (16-24) Ahaziah's wicked reign in Judah. (25-29)
Verses 1-6 The kindness of the good Shunammite to Elisha, was rewarded by the care taken of her in famine. It is well to foresee an evil, and wisdom, when we foresee it, to hide ourselves if we lawfully may do so. When the famine was over, she returned out of the land of the Philistines; that was no proper place for an Israelite, any longer than there was necessity for it. Time was when she dwelt so securely among her own people, that she had no occasion to be spoken for to the king; but there is much uncertainty in this life, so that things or persons may fail us which we most depend upon, and those befriend us which we think we shall never need. Sometimes events, small in themselves, prove of consequence, as here; for they made the king ready to believe Gehazi's narrative, when thus confirmed. It made him ready to grant her request, and to support a life which was given once and again by miracle.
Verses 7-15 Among other changes of men's minds by affliction, it often gives other thoughts of God's ministers, and teaches to value the counsels and prayers of those whom they have hated and despised. It was not in Hazael's countenance that Elisha read what he would do, but God revealed it to him, and it fetched tears from his eyes: the more foresight men have, the more grief they are liable to. It is possible for a man, under the convictions and restraints of natural conscience, to express great abhorrence of a sin, yet afterwards to be reconciled to it. Those that are little and low in the world, cannot imagine how strong the temptations of power and prosperity are, which, if ever they arrive at, they will find how deceitful their hearts are, how much worse than they suspected. The devil ruins men, by saying they shall certainly recover and do well, so rocking them asleep in security. Hazael's false account was an injury to the king, who lost the benefit of the prophet's warning to prepare for death, and an injury to Elisha, who would be counted a false prophet. It is not certain that Hazael murdered his master, or if he caused his death it may have been without any design. But he was a dissembler, and afterwards proved a persecutor to Israel.
Verses 16-24 A general idea is given of Jehoram's badness. His father, no doubt, had him taught the true knowledge of the Lord, but did ill to marry him to the daughter of Ahab; no good could come of union with an idolatrous family.
Verses 25-29 Names do not make natures, but it was bad for Jehoshaphat's family to borrow names from Ahab's. Ahaziah's relation to Ahab's family was the occasion of his wickedness and of his fall. When men choose wives for themselves, let them remember they are choosing mothers for their children. Providence so ordered it, that Ahaziah might be cut off with the house of Ahab, when the measure of their iniquity was full. Those who partake with sinners in their sin, must expect to partake with them in their plagues. May all the changes, troubles, and wickedness of the world, make us more earnest to obtain an interest in the salvation of Christ.
2 Kings 8:1-6 . THE SHUNAMMITE'S LAND RESTORED.
1. Then spake Elisha unto the woman--rather "had spoken." The repetition of Elisha's direction to the Shunammite is merely given as an introduction to the following narrative; and it probably took place before the events recorded in the chapters 5 and 6.
the Lord hath called for a famine--All such calamities are chastisements inflicted by the hand of God; and this famine was to be of double duration to that one which happened in the time of Elijah ( James 5:17 )--a just increase of severity, since the Israelites still continued obdurate and incorrigible under the ministry and miracles of Elisha ( Leviticus 26:21 Leviticus 26:24 Leviticus 26:28 ).
2. she . . . sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years--Their territory was recommended to her from its contiguity to her usual residence; and now that this state had been so greatly reduced, there was less risk than formerly from the seductions of idolatry; and many of the Jews and Israelites were residing there. Besides, an emigration thither was less offensive to the king of Israel than going to sojourn in Judah.
3. she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land--In consequence of her long-continued absence from the country, her possessions were occupied by her kindred, or had been confiscated by the crown. No statute in the law of Moses ordained that alienation. But the innovation seems to have been adopted in Israel.
4-6. the king talked with Gehazi--Ceremonial pollution being conveyed by contact alone, there was nothing to prevent a conference being held with this leper at a distance; and although he was excluded from the town of Samaria, this reported conversation may have taken place at the gate or in one of the royal gardens. The providence of God so ordained that King Jehoram had been led to inquire, with great interest, into the miraculous deeds of Elisha, and that the prophet's servant was in the act of relating the marvellous incident of the restoration of the Shunammite's son when she made her appearance to prefer her request. The king was pleased to grant it; and a state officer was charged to afford her every facility in the recovery of her family possession out of the hands of the occupier.
2 Kings 8:7-15 . HAZAEL KILLS HIS MASTER, AND SUCCEEDS HIM.
7, 8. Elisha came to Damascus--He was directed thither by the Spirit of God, in pursuance of the mission formerly given to his master in Horeb ( 1 Kings 19:15 ), to anoint Hazael king of Syria. On the arrival of the prophet being known, Ben-hadad, who was sick, sent to inquire the issue of his disease, and, according to the practice of the heathens in consulting their soothsayers, ordered a liberal present in remuneration for the service.
9. forty camels' burden--The present, consisting of the rarest and most valuable produce of the land, would be liberal and magnificent. But it must not be supposed it was actually so large as to require forty camels to carry it. The Orientals are fond of display, and would, ostentatiously, lay upon forty beasts what might very easily have been borne by four.
Thy son Ben-hadad--so called from the established usage of designating the prophet "father." This was the same Syrian monarch who had formerly persecuted him (see 2 Kings 6:13 2 Kings 6:14 ).
10. Go, say . . . Thou mayest certainly recover--There was no contradiction in this message. This part was properly the answer to Ben-hadad's inquiry [ 2 Kings 8:9 ]. The second part was intended for Hazael, who, like an artful and ambitious courtier, reported only as much of the prophet's statement as suited his own views (compare 2 Kings 8:14 ).
11. he settled his countenance stedfastly until he was ashamed--that is, Hazael. The steadfast, penetrating look of the prophet seemed to have convinced Hazael that his secret designs were known. The deep emotions of Elisha were justified by the horrible atrocities which, too common in ancient warfare, that successful usurper committed in Israel ( 2 Kings 10:32 , 2 Kings 13:3 2 Kings 13:4 2 Kings 13:22 ).
15. took a thick cloth, &c.--a coverlet. In the East, this article of bedding is generally a thick quilt of wool or cotton, so that, with its great weight, when steeped in water, it would be a fit instrument for accomplishing the murderous purpose, without leaving any marks of violence. It has been supposed by many that Hazael purposely murdered the king. But it is common for Eastern people to sleep with their faces covered with a mosquito net; and, in some cases of fever, they dampen the bedclothes. Hazael, aware of those chilling remedies being usually resorted to, might have, with an honest intention, spread a refreshing cover over him. The rapid occurrence of the king's death and immediate burial were favorable to his instant elevation to the throne.
2 Kings 8:16-23 . JEHORAM'S WICKED REIGN.
16. Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat . . . began to to him two years before his death.
18. daughter of Ahab--Athaliah, through whose influence Jehoram introduced the worship of Baal and many other evils into the kingdom of Judah (see 2 Chronicles 21:2-20 ). This apostasy would have led to the total extinction of the royal family in that kingdom, had it not been for the divine promise to David ( 2 Samuel 7:16 ). A national chastisement, however, was inflicted on Judah by the revolt of Edom, which, being hitherto governed by a tributary ruler ( 2 Kings 3:9 , 1 Kings 22:47 ), erected the standard of independence ( 2 Chronicles 21:9 ).
2 Kings 8:24 . AHAZIAH SUCCEEDS HIM.

"I never doubted that I would be a good mayor," said Ed Koch, with a self-satisfied smile. "I never did."
It was Tuesday night, and the documentary "Koch," written and directed by my old friend Neil Barsky, was having its premiere at the Museum of Modern Art. In his late 80s, the former New York mayor looked his age in the film, but he was still very sharp and quite funny — and as needy as he'd always been for public attention and approval. As Ed Koch matter-of-factly uttered those words, early in the movie, the audience, full of former staff aides, political loyalists and New York movers and shakers, chuckled knowingly. Throughout his political life, Koch's ego had never been far from the surface. It says here that his egotism is part of what made him a great mayor.
Koch had planned to be in the audience Tuesday night. He had cooperated fully with Barsky and had given a few interviews in the run-up to the premiere. He was clearly looking forward to basking in the spotlight again. But earlier that day he had been admitted to the hospital. By Friday, he was dead. Is it tasteless to say he couldn't have planned a better promotional campaign? Probably. But Koch himself would have laughed at the joke. Which was another thing about him: He was probably the last mayor of New York to have a sense of humor.
Like Koch, Barsky was born in the Bronx. A former Wall Street Journal reporter and hedge fund manager, he was in college when Koch was first elected mayor. About 10 years ago, he told me, he had driven around the South Bronx, an area he hadn't ventured into in decades. He was stunned to see, as he put it, that "I couldn't find any of the old burned-out buildings" that he recalled from the 1970s. "They had all been replaced with real housing."
Affordable housing was a big part of Koch's legacy, Barsky realized; indeed, under Koch, the city spent $5 billion on housing, more than the next 50 American cities combined. The memory of that tour of the South Bronx stuck with him. When Barsky closed his hedge fund to become a filmmaker, Koch was an obvious subject.
Which is not to say the film is a big wet kiss. Yes, it gives plenty of credit where it is due: Koch's sound financial management brought the city back from the brink of bankruptcy. He helped New York regain its confidence. He took on the transit union. He began the process that led to the renewal of Times Square and other areas of the city. He reduced the rampant crime that had created such a climate of fear in New York.
But Barsky is also cleareyed about his foibles. Koch's lack of empathy. His contentious and at times ugly relationship with the black community. His slowness to react to the AIDS crisis. Barsky tackles the rumors that Koch was a closeted gay man, asking him point-blank about his sexuality. "None of your business," replied Koch, in somewhat more pungent language. (Many gay activists are convinced that Koch didn't do more during the AIDS crisis because he was uncomfortable with his own sexuality. But the totality of Koch's record — he was a leader in pushing for gay rights — suggests otherwise, at least to me.)
What was most striking about "Koch," however, was the extent to which, for Hizzoner, it was always about, well, Ed Koch. He needlessly picks fights, calling people "schmucks" and "idiots" when they disagreed with him. He takes actions designed to win him praise in the media. One of his former aides recalls him saying, after reading the paper, that nothing of note had happened that day. What he meant was that he wasn't mentioned. "How'm I doin'?" wasn't just a trademark phrase; it was an expression of a deep psychological need. On the other hand, if that is what drove him to spend $5 billion on new housing, who can complain?
A few days after the "Koch" premiere, I went to see "Fiorello!," a 1959 musical about another great New York mayor, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, which is having a short run at City Center. LaGuardia was also an egotist, who loved "the people" more than he did people, who reformed city government yet who also had a profound need to be at the center of every orbit he entered.
Indeed, the same can largely be said of our current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, whose view of himself as a Great Man doing a Great Job is so ingrained that, according to The New York Times, he has tried to recruit someone he thinks has sufficient stature to succeed him.
New York's three greatest mayors were also three of its great egotists. It's no accident.

This is a procedure to treat chronic anal fissures. An anal fissure is a painful tear in the lining of the anus. The anus is the opening through which stool passes from the body. Tears generally occur just inside the opening.
Muscle spasms in the rectum can prevent fissures from healing. A sphincterotomy relieves these muscle spasms. Anal fissures often heal by taking certain steps, such as:
When these do not work, a sphincterotomy may be done. This procedure allows the fissure to heal and decreases pain and spasms. Pain will begin to go away within a few days.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Before surgery, your doctor may do the following determine the extent of your fissure:
In the days leading up to the surgery, your doctor may:
You should also talk to your doctor about your medicines, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
Depending on which option is best for you, your doctor may give you:
If there are any skin tags near the fissure, they will be removed. Next, the doctor will carefully make a cut on the anal sphincter muscle. This will relax the sphincter and allow it to stretch, taking pressure off the fissure. The doctor will put a dressing into your anus to stop the bleeding.
Less than one hour
Anesthesetics will prevent pain during the procedure. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You may be given pain medications and instructions for how to care for your rectal area. A nurse may change your dressing or instruct you on how to change it.
During your stay, the care center staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:

Find a grass you don't recognize? Use an app on your Smartphone to pull up an image for identification. If nutrient issues are puzzling you, soil and tissue testing offer analysis and recommendations. If you're concerned about water use, you can check ET data and reprogram your irrigation system remotely. If you encounter a turfgrass issue you've never seen before, you can share it with a network of your peers via emailed digital images or by Skype onsite from your laptop computer.
So many of the tools now in our arsenal tap into the body of knowledge we've gained from innovative researchers and educators. At the top of that list on the international level is Dr. James B. Beard. Now director and chief scientist of the International Sports Turf Institute, Inc. headquartered in College Station, Texas, and professor emeritus of turfgrass science, Texas A & M University, he's actively advancing the turfgrass industry.
Turfgrasses have been - and will continue to be - questioned on multiple fronts. Currently, Beard is leading the charge on one prime issue: the native/non-native/invasive/non-indigenous species issue. He says, "It's ongoing in today's public arena by individuals promoting laws to make non-native plants illegal."
Introduced in late 2011, his position paper on "Origin, Biogeographical Migrations and Diversifications of Turfgrasses," addresses those challenges.
Beard notes that no one has effectively defined the word native and admits that, after five drafts, he didn't define it either. "Is it the anthropological event when man became active; when Europeans arrived on the continent; when the first explorers pushed hay off the boat in some island? Or, will the newly-introduced research on turfgrasses extend the timeline back beyond the point requiring such precise definition of that term?"
He points to university research taxonomists who draw grass samples from herbariums around the world for analysis. "Recent development of paleobotanical studies using ultrastructural electron microscopic techniques and stable carbon isotope dating instrumentation and research procedures, plus molecular phylogenetic research and cladistic biogeographic analysis of large data sets are clarifying our understanding of migration patterns and dating of multiple secondary centers-of-origin for grasses.
"The results of this research propose the appearance of primitive ancestral grasses between 65 and 96 million years ago (mya) in Gondwanan Africa. Tracking migrations and diversifications shows the emergence of an ancient Poeae group known as the fine-leaf fescues (Festuca) in central-Europe around 13 mya. Subsequent migrations place them in Patagonia between 3.8 and 10 mya, which is before the anthropological effects of humans. Clearly the fine-leaf fescues are native to North America and migrated eastward across the continent after the ice age glacial melt around 1 mya."
Delving into research for this project, Beard says, "I felt like a kid with a brand-new Ph.D. I'd wake up at night with an idea or insight and couldn't wait to pursue it." The resulting paper, he says, "begins to clarify the question of whether certain turfgrasses are native to North America."
Again setting the stage for what will happen in the future, this paper will start a new series of strictly electronic publications from Michigan State University (MSU). Free access is important, Beard says, "to get it out to the people that are the policy-makers/politicians." Though he hopes hard copies also will be funded, "to get it into the state capitols and libraries of collections for even greater access."
He's well-prepared to face the challenges. Beard earned his B.S. in agronomy from The Ohio State University; his M.S. in crop ecology and his Ph.D. in turfgrass physiology (with an emphasis on biochemistry) from Purdue University. He completed a National Science Foundation (NSF) post-doctoral study in plant physiology at the University of California-Riverside.
With his basic training in biochemistry, Beard had the opportunity to go into sophisticated labs working at the molecular level within a highly controlled environment. He opted instead to focus on turfgrass, working outdoors in an ever-changing environment that he saw as more challenging intellectually.
Through the 1950s, few experiment stations were supporting turfgrass work and funding for turfgrass research was very limited. With the main money coming from companies seeking evaluation of their products, turfgrass research was dubbed a "squirt and peek" science. Beard says, "Yet, the targets of those products were the major problem areas at that time."
Turfgrass science was beginning to change when Beard came to Michigan State University in 1961. "We drew an exceptional team of graduate students to turfgrass," he says. "At one time, there were Keith Karnok, John Kaufmann, John King, Jeff Krans, David Martin and Bob Shearman, while my colleagues, Dr. Paul Rieke advised Bob Carrow and Dr. Bill Meggit advised Al Turgeon."
With this amazing team, research flourished. "In turfgrass, we had the advantage of concentrating on the vegetative state. With crops such as corn and wheat, researchers must consider the whole complexity of flowering and seed production, which is more difficult in terms of environmental stress throughout all the stages involved," Beard says.
Shade adaptation was one of Beard's earliest projects. "It had always been assumed that lack of light was the major factor. Research showed it was the altered microenvironment, including lack of light, which increased disease stress," says Beard. That major breakthrough led to work on the shade adaptation of cool-season grasses.
Other research focused on the causes of winterkill. Bob Shearman's Ph.D. work centered on the plant mechanisms that allow wear tolerance.
Graduate student Joe DiPalo constructed the first turfgrass rhizotron at TexasA&M during that period. This allowed the non-invasive viewing of root systems, aiding a variety of basic botanical studies along with a range of work on turfgrass stresses that included the discovery of spring root decline.
The root decline discovery in warm-season grasses impacted fertilization and mowing strategies that reached beyond turfgrass to forage crops. Beard says, "The body of work on turfgrass science and culture influenced the field of crop science and was used in the crop physiology courses as well."
Another legacy of that period is Beard's first of nine books, "Turfgrass: Science and Culture." It was published in 1973 by Prentice Hall and is still selling. Noted throughout the industry for what would become a tradition "of in-depth study and exhaustive investigation," it marked the change from art-dominated turfgrass maintenance to science-dominated. "That doesn't mean art is not still important. Dominance is the key word there," Beard says.
That publication also marked the beginning of the collaborative process with his wife, Harriet, the typist, fact-checker and facilitator extraordinaire.
Beard's enthusiasm and foresight spearheaded the formation of the International Turfgrass Society (ITS) in 1969 and the first International Turfgrass Research Conference. He served as the first ITS president and remained on the executive committee until 1999.
That led to many international lecture trips, with Harriet as his support team on most of them. Typically, multiple topics are addressed as in this past November's series in Italy with: the history of turfgrass, future trends, and warm-season grasses. These travels provide additional opportunities to assess progress within the turfgrass industry.
"Italy has been dominated by England's cool-season grass influence, but is starting to move in the warm-season direction," he says. "They lacked good producers of warm-season vegetative plant material. That is changing, with more than 10 golf courses converting to warm-season turfgrasses."
Beard continued to teach and to direct and coordinate turfgrass research within the Soil and Crop Sciences Department of Texas A&M from 1975 to 1992. One of his areas of concentration that continues to evolve is the optimization of water use, the understanding of grass morphology with low water. He says, "ET technology and the impact of effluent water make that ongoing research even more relevant."
Water use issues are another area where turfgrasses are being questioned. "The high visibility of turfgrass irrigation makes it a target," says Beard. "Agriculture uses much of the available water west of the Mississippi River. Many city irrigation systems are archaic, with 30 to 40 percent leakage. Turfgrasses are a minor part of urban usage, yet more entities are restricting turfgrass irrigation. Some states are monitoring private wells and mandating how much can be pumped for various uses, including turfgrass irrigation."
In times of shortage, water needs to be available in reservoirs where it can be accessed, rather than relying totally on removal via rivers, notes Beard. Yet, over the last four decades, single-issue activists have been able to block reservoir development in favor of endangered species.
"How hard a hit turfgrasses take will depend on how good we are in developing drought-resistant grasses; highly efficient, ET-based irrigation and conservation strategies; and effective use of effluent water," says Beard. "There are ways around much of this, but it will take research and development, and public education. Will the money be there to get it done?"
He's spreading the message through his "future of turfgrass" presentations and addressing other "crystal ball" issues as well. On the environmental/social-political side, he predicts opposition to genetic modification and pesticide use will continue and drive further enhancement in IPM and BMP programs. He says, "GPS for precise, targeted applications will be expected for large-area turfgrass management. I anticipate the technology used for facial recognition will extend to spreader or sprayer-mounted digital recognition systems to identify weeds and apply targeted remedies as needed. I foresee advances in controlled-release nutrients and physiological-enhancer foliar treatments. There will be expanded use of laser and computer technologies in construction and maintenance procedures."
He's recording progress, too. His latest turfgrass history book is working its way toward production at Michigan State University Press. In 2012, he'll finish the documented history of turfgrasses and soils at St. Andrews. That project spanned five years of research with unprecedented access to greens committee records.
The Dr. James B. and Harriet Beard endowed graduate fellowship at MSU was established to encourage continuation of the high-quality research in the fields of turfgrass science and management they have exemplified.

Hi ladies! i've hung around here for a while but never really introduced myself so here goes.
i'm Diana, i grew up in the sunny island state of Singapore, in the middle of Southeast Asia. After getting married, we moved up to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, a sleepy city just a bridge away. Nobody else here does any serious scrapbooking so it does get lonely, but i'm glad i can 'hang out' with you folks and share my scraps.
One funny thing about me - over the year plus i've been scrapping, i've somehow turned into an 'album scrapper'. i have so many ideas for albums and projects like my wedding album, my honeymoon album, and annual birthday albums for my kids, i hardly ever have time to do standalone pages, except for the layouts i do as a guest CT for Maria Designs. Anyone else here the same?

Not too great but I use it as an accent ON my chaise in the family room. It does look like a bear rug in the dark brown, Im satisfied with it and have gotten some lovely rugs from you in the past. Thanks
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I am satisfied with my purchase and I would shop with you again. It is soft and looks exactly like the picture .
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.i am enjoying my rug I purchased from you. In fact I was thinking of ordering a smaller one for in front of my recliner. Thank you
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Looks good, feels very thin, not as described by others. it's not plush, feels like walking on wood. Was very disappointed.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This rug has issues as described in other reviews. The color is not white. It is a yellowish ivory that is not unpleasant, but is not white. The quality is substandard as it is not plush. It is soft, but there are alot of areas uncovered by the shag, meaning it is sparse, not dense. At full price it would not be worth the money . At 75% discount...you get what you pay for. I will be using it, but I didn't have a high expectation initially.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Very plush, soft and comfortable underfoot. It's even a pleasure to sit or lay on. Looks exactly as pictured. Time will tell how it wears, but it looks great in the space after two weeks. Excellent quality for the price! Delivery was prompt. Would readily buy another!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Looks exactly like the picture. Color is a bit more on the yellow-side, but still "ivory" as described. Very soft. Haven't had problems w shedding. Great quality for the price!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The shag is plush and the color titanium has great dimension to it! Great rug to relax with and rub feet in :0)
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Amazingly awesome rug! So beautiful and very high-end. If you want a rich soft full silk-feeling rug...this is it!! RUGSUSA is a 1st class website and highly recommended!Quickly shipped as well :) you have a customer for life

- 12/30/2014 7:44:29 PM That's the best product I have ever used that heals my previous scars super fast and prevents me from breaking out. My skin ton looks now even! I have been using this product since last August so basically for 5 months and my skin has never been so bright and clean! For The past 2 years I had some acnee issues and I was breaking out regularly. Since I've bought this product the first time, never broke out again!LOVE this stuff! - 12/30/2014 6:01:47 AM I too love this mask. I am older, and use it where needed for the occasional menapausal break out. It smells great and is so easy to use... and effective! (my teenagers like it too!)LOVE this stuff! - 12/30/2014 5:48:06 AM I have used this product for over 4 years and my skin looks better & better. I use this one, and the slightly darker shade in summer for a warm glow. I It is not a heavy coverage- so do not expect that. But it gives you a glowy, even toned face- plus some Sun protection!.I have Celiac Disease, and use mainly Juice Beauty products- love that they are pure, & most importantly gluten free.Can't get past the smell.. - 12/30/2014 5:37:03 AM I do like the oil- in fact, I use only Juice Beauty products because they are gentle and GlutenFree. BUT I cannot get past the funny smell. I am into scents, and need products to have a nice fresh scent, or no scent at all. Not the case here- For that reason- I am out.Just right - 12/23/2014 3:06:45 AM I have sensitive skin and this cleanser is not too harsh.Affordable Organic! - 12/8/2014 5:04:20 AM I have been using Green Apple for over 1 year. Being over 45 and battling zits and wrinkles was annoying. After using the GA line I am happy to report both problems solved! I would also recommend using their make up line which is rarely available on this site. I have never been extremely nutty about anything organic but after my mum died from cancer I looked into how we absorb topical products, not good! Using organic seems to be a healthier choice and my skin has never looked better.What is up with the strange container? - 11/30/2014 1:07:30 PM I'm torn with this one. I love Juice Beauty Cellular Moisturizer a lot; the product itself is great and works really well. Its one of my favorites. But I have a big, BIG, problem with the odd container the product comes in. Instead of being able to screw the lid off the top, for some strange reason, someone at Juice Beauty labs thought a solid plastic, pump-action "dispenser" attached to the top was the way to go. Not only is it a waste of plastic but it's completely useless and you can't easily remove it: I'm going to have to take a screwdriver to the top once the product gets so low it won't pump out of that tiny hole in the top of the plastic. I implore the makers of this packaging to stop creating more plastic waste that only annoys those of us who don't want to have a complex (re: pointless) system just to get the product out of the container.I wanted to return it - 11/25/2014 11:33:19 PM My skin looked dull and congested when I was using these products.- 10/14/2014 7:37:31 AM Push mechanism on container stops working all the time due to air bubbles. Hassle to get it working again.love this product! - 9/3/2014 7:39:56 AM I've been looking high and low for a zinc oxide sunscreen (could also be a tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or CC cream) for my face. The others I have tried were either white and I had to put foundation over them to get rid of the white cast, or they did have a tint but had dimethicone and other bad stuff in them. Some were also difficult to apply because they weren't very creamy (because of the lack of silicones). I absolutely love this one. I can't believe how creamy it is. And very thick, which is wonderful for my dry skin. And it has a light, fresh, healthy smelling fragrance. I can't understand why people don't like it, unless it is just too much moisturizer for them. The "coverage" is very light, after all it is not a foundation, BB or CC cream. I don't really see it covering anything on my 50+ year old skin... But the fact that it isn't white is the biggest seller for me. -

^ right, when you have name launched faster in your mind- without reference
Such a redundant question!!
^ I love Alessandro the way Cotton loves Leo
True. Most of the original cast wanted to move on to other projects, I think and also the characters eventually have to move on from doing community service. lol
New cast looks...interesting. Seth, Rudy and Curtis will still be on the show.
Yaaaassss. He's come a long way since his Queer As Folk days.
His Sons of Anarchy look is so dreamy, tbh. It's perfect on him.

Not 100% gay. Would never wish to be. I love my sexuality the way it is, and I'm not "absolutist" in any regard, to be honest.
The guy from QAF...what is his name? I don't remember him.
Yes I do. I find guys hot, I can see my self in a relationship with a guy and for the rest of my life. I appreciate the beauty of girls but I am not in anyway attracted to a girl.
Maybe with a butch lesbian. Some of the masculine ones are quit attractive. Hell, they look mannish...close enough.

If you could just put a light bulb over every gay persons head, people would see just how well-lit their streets and cities are.
-Alexey Odintsov
No, I'm not 100% gay. Plenty of women I'd go for. At this point I'd probably hit anything that didn't hit me first...
I definitely not 100% gay. I even fell in love with a girl when I was younger and was very sexually attracted to her. I still do find some women very sexy. I can't think of any famous ones in particular. I think I would have no problems getting hard with a gorgeous woman and I probably could be with one but I would always be thinking of men at the same time.
So how long has it been since any of you put your penis into a vagina?
Lots of people like to talk about the future and lots are in Fantasyland.
I'm definitely not 100% gay...I'm 100,000% gay, although I come across as totally straight to anyone who meets me.
"The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him." ~ Robert Benchley
Fucking a chick doesn't make you bi.
I'm absolutely gay. I tried a three-way with a guy and a girl, and the girl being there made me so uncomfortable that I couldn't even start getting hard.
hey world leadurs
why no say alls born a gay ans lesbian
ans go straight woteva age is da worlds figas
or woteva words fit da cultures doodoo
save lot folk suck it up help nogs learn abc
I more or less offered to have sex with a woman once. I can't say I found her especially attractive, but I liked her. And I found she had one sex partner in her life, and he had been an utter clod in bed. I basically told her that I felt she deserved a positive sexual experience, and that I would be honored to give it to her if she ever felt like it. She was utterly flattered but chose not to. Just as well. She's now married to a guy who's a monster in bed, and I couldn't be happier for her.
customa alway right
50%.. Androgyny turns me on..
I think that we should remember that appreciating the aesthetics of the opposite sex's form, doesn't imply any real sexual attraction. Whenever I see a beautiful or genuinely charismatic woman, I can appreciate her appeal and I am affected by it like every other human being would. That doesn't mean, however, that there is any desire or arousal. It's just that there are some people who are above average in some way, and we cannot help but to notice and react to them at some very primeval level.
For instance, here are some women I find very beautiful. Does that mean that I would ever want to sleep with them, or I could fall in love with one of them? Definitely not.
I have always found Isabelle Adjani, Ana de la Reguera and Francesca Dellera to be ravishingly beautiful but no, I would never, ever be able to get it up for them.
There are definately women that I wish I were straight, or at least a woman prefering bisexual: Zoey Deshchannel, Emma Stone to name a couple. But when push comes to shove, I don't think it works with my gayness.
I'm not 100.0%, just as I imagine probably most aren't and, for that matter, the same is probably true of most straight people.
The more you get to know people the more you start to hear them say things they'd be very inhibited to say to just anyone. Even if it's just "he's a nicelooking dude" from one of your straight friends. Or "I had a crush on my same gender teacher once.."
I wanted to marry my (female) 5th grade teacher. Big time.
Not 100 % gay , nor 100 % straight. As my massage therapist and I have had lenghty discussions on this subject , we both agree that many people slide up and down the sexually scale over their life time. I always get a chuckle out of threads or websites that talk about straight guys fucking guys. Well, they aren't straight if they are fucking guys, now are they
Back to answering your question directly: No I am not 100 % gay, but if you force me to put a number on it I will go with 85 %
Bottom line is I am totally comfortable with my sexuality and very comfortable in my own skin
Still not sure what my sexuality is. There are many women I've lusted after, I've slept with one woman. I try to pull women in clubs/pubs, but usually end up being turned down. Men are so much better, not one word needs to be said and you can be guaranteed a fuck.

Almost but not quite
I ordered a size larger as suggested. Not sure if that was the right thing to do. I have ample breasts and the halter type top does not cover the sides of the breast. Will be ordering my regular size and see if that helps, otherwise they both will be returned. It is a well made and nice fitting suit otherwise.
