"High And Dry" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, and was the first single released from their second album, The Bends (1995). It was as a double A-side with album opener "Planet Telex". "High And Dry" was released in the UK on 5 March 1995 and remains one of the band's most popular radio hits, despite reaching only #17 upon release.
"High And Dry" was recorded during the Pablo Honey sessions but was dismissed by the band, who thought that it sounded like a Rod Stewart song.[1] However, during the sessions for The Bends it was rediscovered and remastered, as it was felt that it worked well with the rest of the album's content. The version that appears on the album is the original demo; it was never re-recorded.
The song is widely regarded as Radiohead's most accessible pop hit, and was a live favorite, though it has not been performed in a decade. In a 2007 interview with Pitchfork Media, Thom Yorke stated that he did not like the song, saying "It's not bad... it's very bad". He also stated that he was pressured into including the song on The Bends.[2]
In 2008, the song was featured on the Radiohead: The Best Of collection.

Music videos[edit]
Two music videos were created for "High And Dry", one produced for the American market and another for Britain. The former, directed by Paul Cunningham, stars the band in a diner (Dick's Restaurant & Cocktails, in San Leandro, California), where other patrons are involved in dramas of their own, which are revealed through the use of flashbacks. A couple and the diner's cook are involved in an unspecified crime. A businessman is hiding something in his briefcase. In the end, the two dramas are resolved when the guilty parties are betrayed, the cook gives the couple a time bomb and the businessman is ambushed and killed (though the murder is only suggested).
The British version of the video is in black and white, directed by David Mould. It shows the band performing in a desert setting amidst trucks and filming equipment. By the end of the video, it rains on the band, but they continue playing. This was actually the first version of the video produced, but the band expressed dissatisfaction with it, leading to the other video. Only the US version appears on the band's 1998 video compilation 7 Television Commercials, and both the UK and US versions appear on the Radiohead: The Best Of DVD released in 2008 by EMI.

Yipee Kai Ay Mother . . .
Next week the latest installment of one of the most beloved action film franchises ever blasts into theaters "Live Free or Die Hard." This is the fourth film where Bruce Willis has portrayed NYPD Detective John McClane and the first Die Hard film revolutionized action films. In the 90's many action films could be described as "Die Hard on a fill in the blank. So in honor of the fourth film I give you a list of some of the better Die Hard inspired movies: Under Siege 1 and 2: (Die Hard on a Boat and a Train) I know what you're thinking what are not one but two Steven Segal movies doing on this list? But truthfully these are really fun and well made movies thanks in no small part to the villains in both films. Segal plays a former Navy SEAL turned cook who has to deal with terrorists who have taken over an aircraft carrier in the first film and a train in the second. Tommy Lee Jones pretty much steals the first film as deranged wannabe rockstar terrorist, while Eric Bogosian steals the second movie as a disgruntled scientist with a doomsday weapon The Rock: (Die Hard in a Prison) Probably the best movie made so far by the big budget summer schlock master Michael Bay. In this film terrorists take over Alcatraz and a scientist employed by the FBI played by Nicholas Cage and an aging British commando with a history on the island played by Sean Connery are the only two who can stop them. A lot of this film succeeds because of the chemistry between Cage and Connery. Plus it's fun watching Connery in action. It's almost like if 007 aged in real time. Ed Harris also shines as the film's villain a disgruntled general who decides to go rogue Cliffhanger: (Die Hard on a Mountain): Yes this a Stallone film but it's one of his rare good action ones (like Demolition Man). Stallone plays a mountain climbing expert who must battle both the elements and a heavily armed band of thieves on a mountain Air Force One: (Die Hard on Plane): Remember where Harrison Ford made good action movies? If you don't give this film a watch. Granted the premise of the film is probably the most far fetched out of any of the films on this list but we're here to have fun and Air Force One certainly is a fun film. Ford plays the President of the United States, who through an unlikely turn of events is forced to single handedly take on a team of terrorists who have hijacked the presidential plane.

"It depends on the consumer and how much knowledge they have about it," said Vince Choate, director of marketing for Hollandia Produce LLC, Carpinteria, Calif.
The information might be confusing to some diners, he said.
"It's just a helpful hint," he added. "I'm sure those who are familiar with the system can look at it and understand it."
The regulation could benefit the produce industry, since fruits and vegetables are low in fat and calories, said Jay Iverson, partner and vice president of sales and marketing for GreenGate Fresh LLP, Salinas, Calif. But he doesn't think a calorie count should be mandatory.
"We don't need more regulations," he said.
Most people who go out to dinner on a Friday night will eat what they want anyway, unless they're on a diet, Iverson said.
"If you eat at a white-tablecloth restaurant, you expect to a down a few calories," he said.
However, he added that he might pay more attention to calories if he's buying a sandwich for lunch at a Subway restaurant.
"The nutrition and calorie information has to be there because, until people see what's in those foods, they're going to splurge," said Jayne Hurley, a senior nutritionist for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest.
"If you're churning out appetizers that are 1,000 calories, entrees that are 1,000 calories and desserts that are 1,000 calories, that information should be on the menu," she said.
Hurley would like to see restaurants post the information even before it becomes the law.
"If they would put calories up before they were mandated, I think that would help a lot," she said.

I think not, or are there any?!! Most other competitors are using the inferior 1680 Denier Nylon and the few who are sticking to 1050 don't have designs to my liking. What do you think?

Tom Bihn is the sun, all other bag makers are but shadows. http://www.tombihn.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif
Identical features are not necessary to define competition.
There is plenty of competition, maybe not in your eyes, but certainly in the eyes of the everyday traveler.
rdu, you raise an interesting point. Indeed not everyone has their eyes set only on one particular type of bags. People willing to buy leather messengers will certainly have many other choices (and competition to TB).
It's just that I spent 2-3 weeks looking at other manufacturers of messenger bags made from ballistic nylon, since I prefer a rugged yet very light bag, and IMO weren't as good. Then again, it's just my opinion and other people with similar needs may find other designs better.
Having said that, I personally prefer the Western Flyer I recently got (Obviously!) but I think anyone who is brand-loyal can often get caught up in thinking that they are the best.
But many people I am sure will look at something soft-sided, and with dimensions X by Y by Z and then compare from there, and I'm sure not everyone picks Bihn.
I can't envision any scenario where I'd choose a RedOxx over a Bihn, but I bet many on the RedOxx bandwagon would say the same thing in reverse!
You never know what makes people buy one thing over the other.
I was telling extolling the virtues of the Tri-Star to a friend who was looking for a similar bag. He kept bringing up the point that the front pockets were not lockable and he'd be worried that stuff he put in there would be stolen. (He's a photographer.) I told him the pockets were very thin and I only put things in there that if stolen are no big deal: 3-1-1 bag, magazines, snack bars, etc.
Still, that alone disqualified the bag. So, what did he do...he bought an air boss. Sure, he said, it doesn't have backpack straps, which was a big requirement for him, but it's outside pocket (one) was lockable. (I wonder how much he thinks he'll be able to get into that pocket. ) And add to it, he was looking for a smaller than allowable size because most of his travels are in Europe. The Tri-Star would be smaller.
Go figure.
I agree with your points, fellow forum members. I do look at other bag sites and have ordered from them. Yet, since my introduction to Tom Bihn products I find myself using TB as my bell weather by which I measure other bags and those other bags generally come up short. Do I pay more for a bag to serve a function at Tom Bihn? Sure I do. But the quality of that bag, for my money, is worth it. I see my TB purchases as an investment. An investment in my personal satisfaction (really, who else but me will be cognizant of the stitching in my bags), the durability, and the dependability of my bags (never had a Bihn bag disappoint me, same can't be said for others I have owned.)
Two bags I do use that are not TB bags are a Manhattan Portage Deluxe Europa, and an Ebags Professional Deluxe Carry-On Tote. Now the tote I got for under $20 due to a convergence of coupons and sales. I replaced the strap with an absolute strap which cost more than the bag! :P
Both are good bags, but not at the level of the bags offered by Tom Bihn. Do I use those bags still? Sure, when my load size requires it, I use them with or instead of my Imago. They will likely be excised when I get my bag order off in March, as I intend to get a Zephyr or Empire Builder. I'll still keep those bags, they are good bags, but I will use the Z/EB as a primary, and they will be secondary bags. A Nice resource to have for unexpected or short term needs.
I do see where some might prefer other bags for their needs. For instance, bundle packers may well indeed prefer a Red Oxx bag. Red Oxx makes a fine product line. Nothing wrong with them. I even use their monkey fists on my bags and I have their very cool sticker on my Moleskine (and two of the TB stickers on there too ;) But I use packing cubes. I like packing cubes. My clothing needs do not require me to be very concerned with wrinkles. For my needs and my likes, the bags at TB are a great fit. The mileage may vary for anyone of course, as taste, and needs are variable but for my bags, Bihn is the sun, and the other bags are shadows.
That said, I don't think I am being brand loyal blind, just brand quality aware. If Tom cashed out, sold his company, and the new people started making cheap knock-offs in a place with exploited people and low quality control, I would not be buying that stuff. For me, quality is a central issue, and TB has raised the bar in may ways as regards what I, a regular consumer, can acquire. Having a custom made one-off is a nice indulgence, but I suspect a pricier alternative in the end. Now I can have a level of quality, design, and overall aesthetic that I hadn't been able to find previously. Am I a fan of TB? Sure. But, they earned it by making a great product line.
Lockability of the entire bag is actually crucial for some people. Living in Australia most travel has to be via countries in SE Asia which have draconian laws on drug smuggling, imposing death penalties for possession of small quantities. This area also suffers from drug smugglers hiding drugs in checked luggage making someone an involuntary drug courier and therefore in breach of the laws on possession of drugs. Laws in these countries don't make any distinction as to ownership, just possession.
Refer to the Schapelle Corby case - she's serving 20 years (and was lucky to not get a death penalty) for having marijuana in her bag, which she denies was hers and insists was placed there by a baggage handler. Her protestations were irrelevant under the law and she was convicted.
There was another case of a man whose plane stopped for an hour at Singapore, they found drugs on him in a random check, dragged him out of the airport and after due legal process executed him a couple of years later. He wasn't even changing planes.
I very nearly didn't buy the Tri-Star for this reason, and I was one of the people who protested at the original plan to use cord zipper pulls on it - I would not have bought it with cord pulls! There will be trips where sadly I won't be able to take my Tri-Star. The pocket for the backpack straps is enormous and a particular danger.
The danger doesn't only lie with checked bags, by the way - you need to keep everything locked when the bag is in the overhead where someone else might access it.
I think there is plenty of competition out there, and lots of good products sold by good companies. This is a very good thing for two reasons because (a) it inspires innovation; and (b) one company cannot meet all the needs of all consumers all the time.
For me, you'll find a TB product on my shoulder(s) every day of the week. But I am not adverse to peeking at the competition. :)
Wow, falconea! I did not realize or consider these factors and I am grateful you posted these concerns as food for thought for those who travel to these places. This is an excellent argument for using just a one bag carry-on. It is also another reason for the development of a rain fly that could be used on Tom Bihn bags. I would feel pretty ok taking a nap if I knew my bag was wrapped in Dyneema, and locked tight in such a way as to prevent anyone from adding additional 'items.'
I'm still floored they pulled that fellow right off a plane in a country he wasn't intending to visit. Scary. http://www.tombihn.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif
I think there are other companies out there that make nice bags that serve different needs, have a different style, or perhaps have certain features (such as lockable zippers) that distinguish them. However, I've found recently that it really is hard to match Tom Bihn bags -- and in some cases there really isn't much competition at all.
Let me explain: I pre-ordered a plum Synapse because I've long wanted a smaller backpack for days when I don't have to carry a huge load (when I do, the Brain Bag is fantastic). I used the Synapse for a few weeks, and really liked the layout of the pockets and the sleekness of the design, but I started to think that it just looked a little too small on me (I'm 6'0"). So I let my wife, who's 5'2", try it out -- she loved it and has been using it ever since.
Well, using it for those few weeks really got me wanting to find a bag for the "lighter load" days, and I prefer backpacks to shoulder or messenger bags. I hadn't bought a non-Tom Bihn bag of any kind in years, but I decided to scour the web to see what was out there in the same size range as the Synapse that looked to be of decent quality. Answer: not much. I looked and looked, and finally ended up ordering a Timbuk2 "Q" backpack -- not crazy about their design, but it seemed like it might work. But despite being a bit longer and wider the the Synapse, it actually holds far less comfortably and its organization isn't nearly as good. Sent that back, searched around some more, and ordered a Dakine Factor. I like it OK -- it has a laptop compartment (though not a very good one), and has more pockets, but the straps aren't that comfortable and the construction just seems cheap. Of course, I wasn't expecting TB quality in a $40 backpack, but still. I'm sending it back, too.
So, no, sometimes there really isn't much competition at all. And I think I know what I'm going to do now: pre-order another Synapse, in navy (they're out of stock until March), and stop looking for something else to come close, because if it's out there, I sure can't find it.
I'd really want to see a combo of the adjustable and the absolute strap. Then I can have my bag feel lighter when I want it, and also pull it closer to my body at other times.
Falconea.....there is a way to lock the backpack compartment shut.
You need a lock similar to this one...it's the one I use:
Rick Steves FlexiLock
You put one end in the shut zipper of the backpack compartment and then loop it through the D-clip for shoulder straps. Then lock it. It just fits and there is no way to open the backpack compartment zipper. I've done this and I'm still able to use the Absolute Shoulder Strap.
I'm still working on finding a way to lock the front zipper compartments.
I look at other people's backpacks, and they all look sloppy compared to the Synapse.

Definition:The purpose of Flash Boom is simple. It will give you an estimate of how far away lightning is. The rule of thumb says to allow about 5 seconds for each mile (3 seconds for each kilometer). In reality it is more like 4.72 seconds per mile and 2.99 seconds per kilometer. For more details, please visit http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-the-Distance-from-Lightning
Tap the FLASH button when you see the lightning. The button will change to BOOM. Tap the BOOM button when you hear the thunder. Thunder will usually not travel more than 15 miles (24 kilometers).
If you are less than 5 miles from the lightning, please take cover.
The original Flash Boom program I knew of was writen by Kim Moelgaard for the Palm OS. I adapted the concept (without access to the code) to the iPhone.

Rules are for Control Freaks
January 24, 2013 in Commentary
Society has become a victim of rules! There are rules on how to raise children, on how to have sex, on how to treat one another, on how to fight a war, on how to be more human, on how to think, on how to have meaningful relationships, on how to date, on how to…etc, and then there are the Oprah's, the Dr. Phil's and the Media Moguls who relish in telling people on how to be men, to be women, to have orgasms, when to marry, why not to marry, be all you can be, achieve maturity, be free, find the G spot, have mighty erections, loose weight, be parents, and so on.
Nothing is undertaken without some form of instruction: we need psychiatrists, we need motivational speakers, we need decision makers and we need soothsayers. And then there are self-imposed etiquettes that dictate what may be spoken about in polite-conversation and how to act in public.
What about the modern propensity to Political Correctness, where new definitions on how to class people's disabilities are the rule of the day – hearing impaired, mentally impaired, physically challenged…? (Why must modern bureaucratic systems insist on having to categorize measure, diagnose and appraise society in order to keep it functioning in an organised way?)
The deliberation at hand is not on instructional credos like the rules of mathematics, reading, hygiene, etc, but on all the superfluous gumph that common sense and reason, more often than not, provides answers for. It's as if we want to be something that we are not, but that in the process of protecting that allusion, we have been reduced to levels of indecisiveness.
Being imperfect (not in a religious sense) by nature, means that learning by trial-and-error is what life is all about. Undertaking life-tasks without having to readjust in mid-step is unheard off. As Robert Burns so aptly put it "best laid plans of mice and men" usually go awry, for unforeseen circumstances overcome all humans.
Why then, are we so passionate at wanting rules? Is it because of the comfort they offer? Is it because, by following the rules, there is a lesser risk of being called upon to answer for one's actions? – (Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, observed that Modern society, rather than being based upon greater individual freedom as its apologists suggest, is in fact a disciplinary society that exerts its controlling influence through instilling guilt, shame and a general sense of abnormality in those who transgress the norms.)
Have we become sheep?
All positive strides undertaken by humankind had a risk taker at its helm. Not a passive rule player that stuck to the norm in case it all went sour and then had to face barrages of "I told you so" insults – and maybe therein lies the problem; our overly cautious approach to 'causality' (cause and effect,) is driving us to being guarded, non-committal and open to indoctrination.
Yet, in amongst all the 'how-to' literature and philosophies, there exists a world of questioning and intellect, that manages to keep its head above the whirlpool waters of 'how-to' information. The common denominator being the ability to observe and question with impudence, using powers of reason and common sense – all inherent abilities found within the human genome.
The solution to avoiding the 'how-to' trap lies within the grasp of all humans. All it takes is thoughtful assertion, pensive stability, cognitive curiosity; and the ability to overlook frailties for 'even the bright are given to forays of ignorance.'
"Bah bah black sheep, have you any wool. Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full…"

I have a Canon A630 and have used up two 2GB memory cards already. I bought them back at Christmas time for $19.99 and wow the price has gone up. I saw them for $40. recently. I am thinking of buying more 2GB cards and just keep storing my pics on them. On the other hand, I could buy a larger memory stick, take the pics off the computer and store it on that and reuse my 2GB memory cards. At any rate, I was looking for a sale and this week they have them for $19.99 for 2GB but they are not the name brand I bought at Christmas. I got SanDisk before but now what is on sale is...PNY @ $19.99, SimpleTech @ $17.99, and Lexar for $30. I also saw a Verbatim Store 'n' Go for $35. that was a 4GB USB 2.0 drive. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences about any of these choices? Thanks

That sounds like an expensive way to store photos. I've never heard of anyone doing it, although it might be quite common for all I know. The DPReview website has a good forum that deals with storage and media. They talk about brands all the time. I'll link the forum below. Susan |

I wouldn't recommend using the cards as your storage - they can and do fail. I load my pictures on my computer - back them up on an external hard drive, and back up to DVD twice a year. Redundant, I know - but it works for me! :) I really would not recommend using your camera card as your only storage device - or as a storage device at all. Plus - I can use a 2G card or more at one event! I do shoot some video with my camera - so that can really eat up the space on a card. I really haven't found a whole lot of difference in the brand of the card - all mine work equally well. |

Susan...I am sorry I don't remember seeing a response to my post in my inbox...sorry! Thanks for your help. I am familiar with the DPReviews site and I forgot I could ask there. Duh! iowagirl...thanks, I wasn't aware that they fail. Can you create a DVD on a CD burner or do you have to have special equipment? I don't have an external hard drive either. Well...I guess I have a little more homework to do on this subject. Thanks! |
You can find some external hard drive fairly cheap nowadays. We have a 40 GB one and use it to store our photos. I think you can find them on sale for $40 or so. Might be worth considering. Instead of burning DVDs you can also just burn photo CDs. They work great as a backup for good photos. |
I use a Vosonic portable storage & media device. The device without a hard drive is $99-$400 depends on the model. A 2.5" hard drive (laptop size) of your choice can be installed quite easily. When it's fulled, pop it out and change to a new one. I have one with 60GB and a later model with 40GB. I store not only photo but also music. Since it uses USB connections, I used it for computer back up as well. It is like an external hard drive but what so nice about one of these is that it allows any type of memory card to be downloaded and it fits in my purse! I wouldn't need to bring my laptop with me on trips. On my brother's wedding trip to California, many of my relatives also brought their cameras. I was able to download their photos into the device and had a collection of photos that otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have. The device costs a bit more than 1 or 2 memory cards but it's cheaper than purchasing several memory cards. |

Album review
Ian Brown - Remixes Of The Spheres
Having given way to his Messiah complex, Ian Brown has settled for producing satisfactory albums with flashes of brilliance. Starting life as an EP, this groove-based remix project fits into the template very neatly. The slick trance of U.N.K.L.E.'s "F.E.A.R." remix and in-demand bootlegger Roy Kerr's (aka Freelance Hellraiser) take on "Northern Lights" are the highlights. But really, who was asking for a re-recording of "My Star"?

Try this. You gather a group of people together who want the same thing and negotiate a better price than even the best solo haggler could achieve. You might even get the kind of discounts normally reserved for big spenders like millionaire business people or celebrities.
It's called group buying and has been around for a long time in different incarnations. It works for everything from food cooperatives in rural India purchasing staples like lentils to Internet deal of the day sites offering everything from discounted meals to massages.
It's popular because the purchasing power of the group is more effective at extracting better deals from merchants who benefit from economies of scale. To use the cliché it's a win/win.
Now try this. You gather a group of people together who want to switch from one product or service to another and introduce a subtle difference.
If the group is large enough, the merchants eager enough to grow their business and the group's negotiators savvy enough to bring the two together at the right time: it should create a better deal.
This is the revolution we call group switching. It's not about taking up a good deal that's already on offer, it's about creating a much better deal than what's in the market by simply gathering a group who are considering a switch.
We know switching is the best policy to save money in some of the most significant areas of the household budget: banking, mobile phones, broadband, electricity and gas. Move to a cheaper and better provider and if the service is comparable you are demonstrably better off. Unlike group buying deals which can actually lead to you spending more money on non-essentials, group switching is about saving you money on essential services.
Despite the savings switching can achieve, we know consumers are often too wary to take advantage.
There are a few definite barriers to change - some of which are erected by businesses to deter consumers from the very sensible strategy of switching. They include:
There's also a certain apathy which says it's better the devil you know than the one you don't. And some businesses take full advantage of their existing customers' reluctance to shift.
For example, CHOICE research found insurance companies willing to offer much better priced policies to new customers than the loyal clients they think will never bother moving. This is particularly true of the incumbents - the large established players who might think you owe them a living.
So let's consider the home loan market. The group is definitely large enough, with about $1 trillion loaned out as mortgages, and there are plenty of people concerned over cost of living pressures.
CHOICE's vision is to unlock the power of consumers in a way which can change existing markets to their benefit. One Big Switch is a small company keen to demonstrate the power of group switching and the skills and experience required to secure special deals.
Together we have partnered for a bold experiment. Can we gather together 1,000 mortgage holders who are willing to switch banks together, for a better deal? To support the CHOICE Big Bank Switch campaign all you have to do is register your name, email address and postcode. The beauty is that registering is obligation-free. In the end it's your decision whether you take up the any of the deals which are negotiated for the group.
We ask you to consider the proposition and weigh up the options. It might not be in the area you're considering switching this time, but we believe group switching is here to stay. Now it's up to you - the consumers - to get on board to demand a better deal. Remember nothing ventured, nothing gained.

HPV Tied to Heart Disease in Women, But What About Men? - By Ryan Jaslow
Human papillomavirus has been tied to deadly cancers, including cervical and throat cancer. Now a study has linked HPV to a disease that takes even more American lives - heart disease. The authors said in the statement that since the analysis was limited to women, more research is needed to determine if HPV is a risk factor for heart disease in men. Nieca Goldberg, MD, is quoted.

Opening hours: 7:30pm-9:30pm
Website: Visit website
Helen Mirren reprises her role as Elizabeth II in the world premiere of The Audience, a new play written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Daldry. The new play will look at The Queen's relationships with the twelve Prime Ministers who have served during her sixty year reign. Each week she has met with the nation's Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace - both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said, even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Prime Ministers and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional - sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. Prices: £10.00 - £59.00, plus concessions. A limited number of Day Seats will go on sale at £10 each from the Box Office, in person only, from 10am on the day of performance.

Composer Vangelis, who created the original Chariots of Fire score, and performers from the West End show by the same name greeted the Olympic torch as it passed London's Gielgud Theatre yesterday.
Vangelis said he was pleased that people still enjoy the original music but that the symbolism of the flame is most important.
"Forget the music, the flame as a light and symbol of excellence, wisdom and values is important, which we need today more than ever," he said.
Crowds of people gathered to see the flame as it passed along Shaftesbury Avenue while the Chariots of Fire music played out.
Actors Jack Lowden and James McArdle, who play runners Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams in the Chariots of Fire production, joined Vangelis on a podium outside the theatre to cheer on the procession.
McArdle said: "It's an honour to be here with Vangelis. What the flame means for humanity and for people to endure more and do more than what they thought they could do is exactly what the play is about."

Re: Trade for VY....
On that board there are always a number of posters that will chastise you if you even dream of criticizing VY in any sort of way. That's one of the most ridiculous boards I've ever seen on the web. Great site for articles and information, but their board is a freaking circus. ON a second note, I remembe reading his recent comments a few days ago, and when I read the article and report it didn't come off that bad. But then last night I saw where he was saying all of this into a camera where his words came off more as if he was demanding a trade which he was. He looked really stupid, and with that recent display he pretty much ruined any chances he'll have in Tennessee if you ask me. They seem to have stood by him and have tried to work with him to get in there when he's ready, and now he's basically on tv demanding a trade if he can't start. Really poor decision on his part, and I'm not sure what type of boneheads are in his camp and pumping his head up to put his foot in his mouth like that but he just made another really bad decision that made him look immature.

Re: Trade for VY....
I would pick up VY for 2, and only 2, reasons...
1. We pick him up in exchange for a plain cheese sandwich and are guaranteed by another team to take him off our hands in exchange for a 6" sub from subway. Just the sandwich, the combo would be asking too much. Even a veggie only one would suffice. 2. We trade the original sandwich to make him one of those flag runner guys whenever we score

Re: Trade for VY....
I'm not sure of that.....He might quit on his 3 team mates. I think he would do better as a parking attendant. He can just play for the first couple of hours and then if he quits...no body would really care...the parking lot is already full. Maybe as a part time beer guy.....Start work after halftime and then quit after the 3rd quarter.

Re: Trade for VY....
Most of the parking attendants have no idea whats going on anyways. But the beer idea is horrible. I don't need someone who isn't accurate pouring my beer and spilling it everywhere and ending up with a 60/40 head to beer ratio, but thinking it's ok because he has intangibles and in the end "willed" the beer into my cup. Only to shout out, "This is MY beer stand!" afterwards.

(1) What makes you think Vince is on the trading block? (2) In what possible way would he fit our offense? (assuming Vince suddenly had an infusion of heart and was magically given the ability to throw an accurate pass - I know, I know... there's still that whole ability to read a defense thing that needs work, but I don't want to use up ALL my Genie's damned magic trying to give VY a brain too...) |

Re: Trade for VY....
I can't believe I'm I am posting in this thread...
First, no team will trade for Vince Young's contract. Not for a 7th round pick in the 2100 draft. Ain't happening. So, let's set this foolishness aside, and discuss Young's options when, not if, he's released by the Titans. No one was a bigger critic of Vince Young as a QB than I. I still think his best position is a slash, ala early Kordell Stewart. There are teams in the NFL with innovative offensive minds that could use Young in this manner. The Texans are not one of these teams. The Texans run the Bronco West Coast/Zone offense and will continue to do so under this regime. There's no flexibility to work in elements of a wildcat/slash type offense on even a part-time basis. The Cardinals under Whisenhunt could utilize a hybrid like Young. So could the Chiefs, the Broncos, the Dolphins, and the Pats. The question is, would Vince Young accept a role as a slash player? Or would he pout and demand to play a conventional QB position? If Young would embrace the role, he could still become one of the more dynamic players in the NFL. If insists on being a QB only... The CFL needs QBs, too.

Re: Trade for VY....
Who wants VY? he hasnt done anything since college....he is a huge flop.....he needs to stop whining ,sit down shut up and dry his tears.... He blows worse than David Carr did for Carolina.... VY has thrown more interceptions then Touchdowns....Whoever said that needs to be smitted.... If we did anything bring in Marvin Harrison or someone like Dwayne Robertson(DT) from Denver, or Mike Brown(FS) from Chicago. I've put in my two cents...

Clients leave Elite Ink Tattoos transformed. Images of wolves, ankhs, and hearts permanently paint their skin, and metal loops dangle from earlobes, bellybuttons, and even throats. Such services are made possible by the tireless work of talented artists, each of whom has received Blood Borne Pathogen Certification from the American Red Cross. Sterilized, prepackaged needles ensure safety and that every torso portrait of Marvin the Martian aboard a razor scooter is pixel-perfect. A backlog of photos speaks to the caliber of work produced by Elite Ink?s artists. The tattooed names of ex-boyfriends and parents who put a hold your allowance can be safely removed by undergoing laser tattoo-removal treatments.
Jen draws on more than 15 years in the permanent-makeup industry to fill in sparse eyebrows, augment lash lines with permanent eyeliner, and strategically trace on lip liner to counterbalance lip asymmetries. The tattoo-like makeup applications streamline morning beauty routines, cutting out minutes spent distinguishing eyeliner from off-brand fountain pens. Jen offers free pretreatment consultations, as well as touchups for a modest fee.
With 45 combined years of tattooing experience, the artists at Tattoo Lounge Elyria can help clients turn their most imaginative ideas into distinctive skin art. Using vegan inks free of plastics or harmful ingredients, artist Ryan Carmichael decorate skin with floral designs, realistic portraits, or meticulous renderings of important text messages. Piercing specialist Danny Qualls creates openings for body jewelry without the use of constricting forceps, allowing flesh to heal more quickly. Extensive training in safety measures such as CPR, first aid, and infection control keeps all procedures as safe as crossing Sesame Street during rush hour.
The skincare experts at Beauty Enhancement Center of Ohio have been correcting imperfections and boosting clients' confidence for more than 16 years. Their treatments range from customized facials for a variety of skin conditions to exfoliating chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments. They also apply permanent makeup, which can flatter features with color and conceal scars. Their other services include waxing, eyelash extensions, and cellulite reduction via the GX-99 Vibratory Endermatic System.
The tattoo artists at Chroma Tattoo know that tattoos last a lifetime and create a permanent connection between the client and the artist. With that much at stake, they leave nothing to chance. Before their needles and inks ever pierce skin, the artists walk clients through a long preparation process that involves designing the tattoo and determining the placement. They first work out the details of the design on paper, and then, they freehand the design onto the skin. This process gives clients the chance to make adjustments and give feedback.
While their friends are getting tattoos, guests can sink into two large leather sofas that huddle around a flat-screen TV. Here they can wile away the hours watching Netflix, playing Xbox 360, or contemplating which president had the most imposing beard.
Dr. Michael Margolis, a board-certified physician, oversees each treatment at Erase The Ink M.D. To start, a trained technician applies topical Lidocaine to numb the area. Next, the technician aims a RevLite Q-switched laser at the offending ink. While the laser sends intense pulsed light beneath the skin to break up the pigment, which is then released naturally through the body's immune system, a jet releases cold air on the area to optimize comfort. Not without a sense of humor, the staff donates its services to the patient with the worst tattoo each week.

Can anyone tell me when the grafting of camellias began?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am not sure that this is your intended answer. Very ancient time, man discovered two branches was compacted together for a long time and the branches grafted together naturally. |

That's more information than I have now. I appreciate your answer and I believe that would qualify as grafting. Any dates? Thank you once again. |

This is my first year doing a SFG, and I haven't been very successful. The only crop that has been doing well is my butter beans, but I've been finding these on them: Can anyone identify this and tell me how to get rid of them? I've sprayed with insecticidal soap, but I'm still finding them on a daily basis. Help!!!! Thanks! |

Thanks Krintis!!! I'm starting to see new smaller ones, so I guess more eggs have hatched. The link you sent was very helpful. It sounds like my plants will be ok. The damage so far is less than 30%. Next year I'll know to start spraying as soon as I see the little nibble marks in the leaves :) |
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! LOL. Glad you've got some advice! All I can do for you is shiver. |

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: beckyDate: Saturday, 23 January 1999, at 5:50 p.m.
Is food meant to be enjoyment? I was discussing this with a friend of mine last week. She truly enjoys food. I on the other hand do not enjoy eating. I sometimes wish I could just go to some fill up station every morning where I would get an iv or shot or whatever and then go about my day feeling energized. Then there would be no gas and constipation and bloating from everything i ate. Does anyone think this day will ever come when we can forgo food? Just hopin and wishin..........:+) have a nice day

All employers with at least 50 full-time employees and equivalents must offer affordable and adequate health coverage starting January 1, 2015, or pay a penalty tax. The IRS issued proposed regulations at the end of 2012 to implement this employer play-or-pay health coverage mandate.
In co-employment relationships, such as those that exist in the entertainment industry, the ACA provides that the co-employer that directs and controls the worker's day-to-day functions is the responsible employer for the ACA. This means that the production company will be responsible for providing coverage under the ACA as the controlling co-employer.
EP will do everything we can to assist clients in meeting their obligations.

We've created a concise video to help unravel your potential obligations. Learn how the new laws affect your workflow, and about the changes we have made here at EP to help you remain compliant.

bold and adventurous in the kitchen as in life. sometimes successful and sometimes not, but always give it my all.
italian in my genes, italian in my soul, and definitely italian in my kitchen. although i work in all cuisines of the world, i consider them all to be just variations and elaborations of the flavors and techniques of the sublime cuisine of italy. sorry to all of you french classicists.
My Caesar Salad Dressingthis dressing is exceptional. i was actually looking for a blue caesar dressing recipe as i thought it sounded like a good combination. followed this to the letter with one addition. as a vegetarian, i do not eat anchovies. i once got a tip from a professional chef in an upscale, healthy restaurant to substitute kalamatta olives for the anchovies. although this recipe did not call for anchovies, i added the olives as suggested by my chef friend. they add a briny flavor that is reminiscent of salty anchovies. — HaroldH 7/14/2011 |
Buffalo Ranch Buttermilk Dressingused my own homemade mayonaise and this was first rate. it has true ranch flavor and is far better than any other recipe that i have tried. is great when used on ranch potato salad. — TheKitchenWitch 8/3/2010 |
Black Bean Burgers (spicy Optional!)used as a base for my own version. the proportions are on target, which enabled me to improvise with seasoning and flavors. i formed patties and baked in 350 degree oven. i omitted the final flour dredge as well. — atscott 7/20/2010 |
Classic Scottish Shortbreadthis is the classic shortbread recipe; simple, easy and oh so rich and good. thrilled to find an authentic rendition of my favorite cookie. — promfh 6/30/2010 |
Chocolate Cherry Bread (Machine) - Large Loafused elements of this recipe with others from the chocolate yeast bread recipe and developed a chocolate cherry loaf using standard baking techniques instead of the bread machine. met with rave reviews. makes a great dessert french toast with ice cream and cherry syrup and also bread pudding. — 5/23/2010 |
Italian Chocolate Bread Pudding (Bodino Nero)excellent base recipe. i used chocolate cherry bread, added dried cherries and chocolate chips with the bread and topped with caramel cajeta. absolutely "death by chocolate." baking time was 15 minutes longer than listed in the recipe. — 5/23/2010 |

Please everyone think of Lou and his family tonight. Prayers and thoughts needed.

Please everyone think of Lou and his family tonight. Prayers and thoughts needed.
It's pretty much all I've been thinking about today. My heart goes out to them!
Prayers for Lou and his family.
Prayers for them all.
Mary Jo and Lori started something on Facebook which is that they put a picture of themselves and Lou up as their display picture. I quickly followed suit and I would love to see this become some sort of movement or "Louvement" as my wife called it. So if you have Facebook to show your support for Lou and his family during this difficult time post a picture of you and Lou together, if you don't have a picture with Lou then maybe a picture of you with a WDW Radio T-Shirt, or your WDW Pin or holding your audioguides or Celebrations magazine! I'm sure Lou would really appreciate it. Prayers and Pixie Dust to Lou and his whole family at this time.
Thinking of you Deanna and the whole family Lou.
It's not my place to go into detail about what is going on but it's no secret that Lou's dad has been sick. Things are not looking good right now and I ask that you keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
I`ll add you up. I only met you once and it was at Lou`s Live Meet I simply said Deck 7 to Beci and you yelled at the top of your lungs. WOOOO! Deck 7! You were sitting on the ground.
Thoughts and prayers to Lou and family.
Thinking of you Lou and your family during this rough time. God bless.
Prayers, Pixie Dust and some magical Wishes are being sent Lou's way. I understand what it like when someone very close to you is sick and the outcome is up in the air. May the sun shine on Lou and his family.
Prayers and pixie dust to Lou and the entire family. Peace.
I hope he knows that we are here for him.

Ubisoft's flagship shooter series Far Cry 3 has sold about 4.5 million units into retail, the publisher has claimed.
Yves Guillemot, the chief executive at Ubisoft, told investors on Thursday that the game's sales performance was "way ahead of expectations". He claimed that the game's sell-through value was twice that of Far Cry 2 achieved in half the time.
Meanwhile, the four-year gap between the release of Far Cry 3 and its predecessor will not be repeated, Guillemot assured.
He said players "will certainly not be waiting so long for the next Far Cry game", effectively confirming plans to develop a sequel.
On top of the 4.5 million sales, Ubisoft said it expect Far Cry to produce further business in the months ahead.

Former Bishop Struggles With Memory In Deposition
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
(Minneapolis, MN) -- Nearly 200 times during a deposition, Archdiocese of St. Louis Archbishop Robert James Carlson said he can't remember details about alleged sexual abuse during his time in the Twin Cities. The transcript of his deposition was released on Monday in connection with a lawsuit against former priest Thomas Adamson, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the diocese of Winona. A victim is suing, alleging church officials kept moving Adamson around as allegations of abuse popped up.

With wet weather and high surf expected through the weekend, some people living in Oceano are not taking any chances. The area experienced serious flooding back in December, and now residents are taking precautions to keep it from happening again.
Steven Ehens lives on Security Court, one of the hardest hit streets back in December. He's hoping sand bags and water pumps will be enough to be get through the weekend.
"It depends how much we get and how high Arroyo Grande Creek gets because those flap gates won't drain if Arroyo Grande Creek's high, and we'll be sitting in a big old puddle basically," Ehens said.
Deputy Director of San Luis Obispo County Public Works Dave Flynn says crews have been preparing for the next round of wet weather since last month. He also says the flap gates in Oceano are silt-free and in working order.
"That's what we'll be looking at, the water levels in the Arroyo Grande Channel in combination with the high tides," Flynn said.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah. | 1 "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD. |
2 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, against the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah. | 2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the LORD. |
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply. | 3 "I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. |
4 And I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith Jehovah | 4 I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD |
5 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. | 5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. |
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness. | 6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. |
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; | 7 "So then, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when people will no longer say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' |
8 but, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land. | 8 but they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' Then they will live in their own land." |
9 Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of his holy words. | 9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD and his holy words. |
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right; | 10 The land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land lies parched and the pastures in the desert are withered. The [ prophets] follow an evil course and use their power unjustly. |
11 for both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah. | 11 "Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the LORD. |
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah. | 12 "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the LORD. |
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. | 13 "Among the prophets of Samaria I saw this repulsive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. |
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, so that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah | 14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah." |
15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land. | 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty says concerning the prophets: "I will make them eat bitter food and drink poisoned water, because from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land." |
16 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Jehovah. | 16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. |
17 They say continually unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you. | 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' |
18 For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it? | 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? |
19 Behold, the tempest of Jehovah, [even his] wrath, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked | 19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked |
20 The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly. | 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. |
21 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied | 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied |
22 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. | 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. |
23 Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off? | 23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the LORD, "and not a God far away? |
24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah. | 24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD. |
25 I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. | 25 "I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' |
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? | 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? |
27 that think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name for Baal. | 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. |
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith Jehovah. | 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the LORD. |
29 Is not my word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? | 29 "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? |
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. | 30 "Therefore," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. |
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. | 31 Yes," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' |
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah. | 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the LORD. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the LORD. |
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? then shalt thou say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, saith Jehovah. | 33 "When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, 'What is the oracle of the LORD?' say to them, 'What oracle? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.' |
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house. | 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household. |
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken? | 35 This is what each of you keeps on saying to his friend or relative: 'What is the LORD's answer?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' |
36 And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God | 36 But you must not mention 'the oracle of the LORD' again, because every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God, the LORD Almighty, our God |
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken? | 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: 'What is the LORD's answer to you?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' |
38 But if ye say, The burden of Jehovah; therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah | 38 Although you claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' this is what the LORD says: You used the words, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' even though I told you that you must not claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD. |
39 therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from my presence: | 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your fathers. |
40 and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. | 40 I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace--everlasting shame that will not be forgotten." |
