Painful heels and heel spurs need instant relief. Thats why halo-shaped heel cushions lift, support, and surround heels so that the painful area never touches the ground. Halo Heels contain millions of tiny air bubbles that cushion and soften every step leaving your feet refreshed and fatigue free. You will experience instant relief from heel spurs, sharp heel pains, or just plain sore heels - we guarantee it.
I've had heel pain for years from being a waitress decades ago carrying large trays of food. The Halo Heel has been the perfect pain reliever for me. I've never gone to a foot doctor, since this product has relieved the pressure off my heel.
I can personally attest that I got more relief from my "Halo Heels" than I ever did with my podiatrist-prescribed customized foot orthoticcs!! I got one for each foot, and in my brisk walking/jogging workouts (4 miles a day, for 5-6 days a week), these have stood "tough" through each workout and I never got my plantar fasciitis back. Got the PF in November and it finally went fully away in July, and these Halo Heels were a HUGE help in my getting over PF for good! I am going to buy more, so I have some in my most-used shoes (work, running, etc.). GREAT product - will make you feel like you're walking on a cloud!! :)
These are the best thing since sliced bread. Being a hairdresser and being on my feet all day I seldom have any pain in my heels. I would highly recommend this product

I am in North Carolina. I have a white azalea that is growing very well and puts out a beautiful show of white blooms. Unfortunately, every year they turn yellow, then brown quickly: perhaps a week or less. I thought this might be normal but on keeping track of the many azaleas in this area, I think they last for a month or much more. I recently heard about some disease, perhaps a fungus (I forgot), that causes this.
Can you tell me what and when to do something about this. I just thought of this site. the flowers died a month or more ago. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The fungus is Petal Blight If you are getting petal blight, then deadheading is very important. All spent flowers should be destroyed. The best way is to toss them in the trash. Petal blight is a disease that hits some rhododendrons and azaleas that bloom later in the spring. It causes the flower to turn mushy before it naturally wilts. If you look closely it forms unsightly brown spots on the flowers. Petal Blight, Ovulinia azaleae: This fungal disease, caused by Ovulinia azaleae, primarily affects the flowers of azaleas, but mountain laurel and rhododendron flowers can also be infected. Indian and Kurume azaleas are especially susceptible. The disease starts on the flower petals as tiny, irregularly-shaped spots, giving a "freckled" appearance. On colored flowers the spots are white, and on white flowers the spots are brown. The spots quickly enlarge and become soft and watery. Flowers rot and stick to the leaves. Infection is easily spread from flower to flower by wind, rain and insects. The fungus survives the winter in the soil. The most important things that you can do to control this disease in the home landscape are to pick and destroy infected flowers and avoid overhead watering. This fungus survives in the soil, so it is important to replace the ground litter with uncontaminated mulches. Rake and remove flower debris from beneath plants and, if possible, remove old flowers still attached to plants. Apply new mulch around the base of plants to serve as a barrier to new infection. On large azalea plantings, where it is not practical to remove infected flowers, make weekly fungicide applications beginning just before bloom and continue until the last buds open. The best fungicides are a combination of chlorothalonil and benomyl or Mancozeb or Bayleton or triadimefon. During moist seasons, control may be difficult for late blooming varieties. Sanitation practices such as deadheading and removal of diseased material my improve control. In the northwestern US, Ovulinia is present, but similar symptoms can also be caused by Botrytis cinerea which is less damaging to the flowers and easier to control. It is important to remove diseased material from the vicinity of a planting. This means removing dead material that harbors spores of fungal disease and dying material that contains eggs of insects. Dying portions of a plant should be cut off and removed. The ground should be cleaned of dead leaves or flower parts. Pruned parts should be removed. Deadheading flowers involves removing the structure left after blooming before seedpods form. A rhododendron or azalea flower is composed of several florets connected to the stem by a base that is easy to break. When deadheading just grab the flower near this base area and twist the flower sideways and break it off in this spongy area. Try not to break any of the buds that are around the base of the flower. |
Thanks for being so fast Rhodyman. That sure sounds like what it is. I already have chlorothalonil which used to be very expensive but now is available as ortho max. I got it for iris leaf spot. The affected iris were in the same plot as the azalea. Perhahps there is a relationship although the iris fungus is Didymellina macrospora. The Ortho Max and removing all the iris, dumping them in clorox (who knows) and cleaning up, did the trick. I will deadhead, cut some low branches and rake my brains out. I noticed that you list favoring the Pond site. That is my favored site although I don't post often. I have a pond with long stream that acts as my filter etc. |

Am I the only one kicking myself for not attending this year? I just don't think my wallet can handle any more great LEGO news. :o)
Update: Our friends over at FBTB have the entire LEGO Press Release posted for the San Diego 2012 Comic Con. Additionally, FBTB will be attending the show and posting pictures so keep checking back!
Update 2: LEGO has released a picture of The Rancor Pit! Thanks to Forum user jawapez for the link.
91 comments on this article
I'm not able to attend this year. I didn't mind before.. But now... AAAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!
Shut up and take my money!
There's just no way to stay on budget! I have to decide between LOTR and SWs. I picked LOTR but SWs is in a Golden Age Swing with the minifigs right now. Uhggg!
Wow! That has to be one of the biggest news of the year! The Rancor Pit! Finally! I've been waiting for a LEGO Rancor since 2001! I never really cared about going to Comic-Con, but now, I am so annoyed I'm not able to go!
Not surprised about the Rancor pit, seeing as Jabba's palace has those 4 gaps on the bottom which may be for pillars, but this is some really awesome stuff! :D
Am I the only one who doesn't like Ninjago?
^^no your not the only one, I also do not like ninjago because it just seems a bit too all over the place.
No, I also don't like it except Nya and Samurai X minifigures.
Aaand maybe Sensei Wu in white. ^^
OMG A LEGO Rancor it must be the end of days! :O
Lego Rancor, 2013?!? I am going to be seriously ticked off if the world ends before I get my Rancor ;)
This is truly amazing. I am simply astonished at all the great sets we are about to see within the next 3 days! The exclusive minifigures are the highlight for me however. The entire reason I wanted the Marvel line was to get a Venom figure (Hulk-size or not) since he is my favorite Spidey villain. Although, I won't be attending sadly, and I won't be able to receive the Venom. :( On the other hand, I cannot wait to see the new Star Wars and Superhero sets which will come out next year. No doubt some of them will be based on the new Super man and Iron man movies. Either way, I cannot wait for the new Rancor Pit as well sounds great! I will inevitably keep myself posted!
PS. Can anyone snag me a Venom if they go? :)
My bets on the Rancor being brick-built rather than a Hulk/Wampa like mold (unlike what we saw in the Padawan Menace DVD) so that there's actually something to build, not just 4 pillars :) I think it'll be like the Lex Luther mech just more animal...
Maybe it will be like the Cuussoo project?
I'm really jazzed about the Rancor, but I have doubts that it'll be anywhere near as cool as the one on Cuusoo:
^ Thats amazing. Although it looks a bit too complex for LEGO's standards. Haven't they turned down multiple sets due to their difficult on Cuusoo?
Venom? Phoenix? Things are looking good for expansion of the Marvel line...
Rancor pit?!?! YES!
I don't even know what to say - this totally has locked in my purchase of Jabba's Palace. That set it much more valuable with a Rancor Pit set to accompany it. I'm curious to see how they support the whole thing on top of it, though. Must be a lot of rock wall in addition to the pillars.
unless you are a kid 5-10 then you prob will not like ninjago.
at the schools, its all the boys talk about.....
however, my son secretly likes city and pretends he likes ninjago at school... haha
I'm never gonna be rich!
CURSES! I am going to be in debt in 2013
Ok first, why don't i live close to SD, and secondly will anyone on here who is attending mind selling the exclusive figures for a reasonable price, if they don't want them.
Four promotional minifigures...? Wouldn't surprise me (given that they're divided between Marvel and DC characters) if we see them appear in sets during 2013. If there's still a wave of each series slotted for 2013, there's still hope to get these or similar minifigures. Although, I'm still waiting for a Green Lantern set....
HOLY CRAP!! The minifigures and the Jar Jar Binks in carbonate are making me regret not going! Not to mention I can't WAIT to see the 2013 superheroes and the Rancor Pit! Maybe next year I'll take a trip to California for Disneyland and Comic Con ;)
As for this whole Ninjago debate, a couple of the sets were cool, but I didn't go out of my way for them.
Can anyone who gos there please say what new marvel sets there will be? Oh and the new figs too.
bionicle212, No superhero sets will be on display, just the figures.
Hopefully I will be able to get the marvel venom, the others are okay, but I will buy the rest off of people yay hope I win
@legofanatic2414 - No, I don't believe anything has been rejected from Cuusoo for being too complex. Lego always redesigns a project once it reaches 10,000, so regardless of how complicated the project looks, it's not necessarily what Lego will end up with.
Any bets on whether or not these exclusives will be at NYCC as well?
I've always wanted to go to Comic Con, because I used to live in San Diego but mostly for the exclusive Lego stuff ;)
Every year, I sort of shrug it off and say "maybe next year," but now all I have to say is...
YESSSSSS. Confirmation that the Marvel and DC lines won't be One Wave Wonders like POTC is the best news I've heard in a long time. Hopefully we'll get an Aquaman!
Plus, Rancor Pit sounds awesome, provided they do it right.
I honestly don't think the Venom will be in maxi-fig for this promo-figure. Look at the Hulk promo-release.
Maybe one day down the line, Venom will be his rightful-size, i.e. Maxi. But not now, I propose.
Am I the only one that hopes the Rancor is more along the lines of the LotR Cave Troll than an actual buildable structure?
Yes!!!!!!!!!! I can not wait!!!! I wonder If the rancor will be built or a hole figure...? I'm hoping that it will be built because it would have to be a small figure to fit in the small boxes legos come in now! I would HATE if lego took the easy way out and made it the size of the large rock monsters!!! Also lets hope that there will be a Luke Skywalker and a Gamorrean Guard. Now I REALLY need to get Jabba's palace!!! (and the desert skiff) My only question is this, the way how Jabba's Palace is designed, could Jabba's Palace be placed on top of the rancor pit...? Especially since the "hole" to the rancor pit in Jabba's Palace is "covered." Hopefully they will make the rancor pit so it will be able to fit under Jabba's Palace, and re-release Jabba's Palace so there's a HOLE in the hole to the rancor pit!!! They should also have the door able to come down on the rancor!!! YES RANCOR!!!!!!!!!!
Rancor Pit!! Can't wait
Is it to much to hope for a clone factory in 2013
Thankfully Lego knew most of us wanted us Rancor to go with the latest batch of SW Minifigs...and they are delivering; I just worry our expectations may be too high. I like the fact the Cuusoo's version the mouth looks like it big enough to bite (hold) a Gamorrean. Wonder if Lego will do the same; similiar to the Great White Shark from the Pirates II theme.
It would also be cool if they somehow figured out how to tie it in to the latest Jabba's Palace (still don't have mine).
YAYY! rancor pit:)
Lego is starting to irritate me, no joke. If we dont see a Green Lantern in 2013 then my hopes of getting a variation of these other SDCC exclusive figures is diminished greatly. That is where the irritation arrises. How can you create a theme line and then not offer the charactors to everyone? I mean them giving out Bizarro, Shazam, Venom, and Phoeinx to me is like giving if they never made a Darth Maul, or Gimli and then made him a SDCC exclusive. To those of us who are really into the Super Heros line and grew up with the comics these charactors are part of the whole group. It in a way makes me want to turn my back on the entire line, if I can not have all the figures why get any? Seriously,if you could only get eight of the fellowship of the ring why get any?
Sorry for the rant.
Spency13 I am with you. I hope the rancor is more like the troll or castle dragons form 2008 for better stability. If it is brick built I just want it to look right and be solid.
Oh, and I dont care for Ninjago either. It is a true blessing too because with LOTR, Star Wars, and Super Heros I am tapped out. Collectible minifigures dont help the bank either but those saw a decrease in desire this past year with LOTR's arrival. The only other lines that Lego make the would bend me more is GI Joe (and that will never happen) or a Chronicles of Narnia.... the amazing flesh tone mythical charactors would be fantastic.
I think this is the first that I've heard of the Super Heroes staying around for another year, so that's exciting. Can't wait to see picts from the event. :)
^ @schvatts totally agree. I thought that a minifigure Green Latern would have been released in a set by now. I'm not too fussed about the 4 exclusives this year as they're not main characters in the DC and Marvel universe, but I feel your pain nonetheless.
On another note, well there goes my budget for next year! Looks like I'll have to take out a second mortgage at this rate..... thank goodness I'm not into Ninjago but the other three themes are going to kill me...... financially speaking!
I really hope these figures will be in other sets. Including Green Lantern but especially Shazam!
I thought that I would be able to tune out Ninjago with all the great stuff coming out, but there are certain sets that I feel are/were must haves. Any of the Dragon sets are amazing, along with some of the vehicles. The Samurai Mech is really cool too. I have bought a lot of the Ninjago Spinners on sale for $6 or less. My stepson likes the theme and TV show as well and we have a lot of fun with these sets.
I do understand why they are so popular but I can also understand that they can be a turn off for AFOL and those who remember the Ninja Castle sets of old.
Venom is at the top of my minifigure to buy list, then Bizzaro, Phoniex, Shazam.
If you be there,please get some pictures of hobbbit sets.
Venom and Phoenix and Captain Marvel and Bizarro! Nooooo! They'll be this year's Green Lantern figure, won't they?
I bet the new Marvel sutheme will be the Fantastic 4!
@jarlo145' I would love for the FF to come to LEGO! If I were to predict next year's superhero wave, it would be:
Wave 1 (January): Comic-Based DC and Marvel sets
Wave 2 (April): Iron Man 3
Wave 3 (May): Man of Steel
Wave 4 (October): More comic based sets and Thor 2 sets
FINALLY!!! The Rancor! I may have to get that set if it's any good. It's the figure I've been waiting for for so long. I may also have to get the new Jabba's Palace so I can display them together.
Does everyone think the Rancor pit is going to attach to Jabba's Palace? I have a feeling it will be a stand-alone set.
@el_rey95 - The Rancor pit will attach to Jabba's Palace. Weeks ago, the Eurobricks Star Wars blog showed shots of the bottom of the set, indicating that there would be a set attaching below it. Otherwise, Lego would not have left any holes - it just wouldn't have made any sense.
@nightmarevalkyrie I will give you my luck so that you can win those awesome figures since I live in Ohio.
@Energyarrow I personally think that venom will be in a 2013 set with spider man, so i want the other three.
@Everyone who wants green lantern I also hope and couldn't imagine Lego not putting green lantern in a set also with Sinestro.
Over all i want to see all of the Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes minifigures in sets this year.
Yeah. Ninjago. One of lego's most successful themes and Lego wants to stop. It should go as long as star wars.
I just found images of Bizzaro and Phoenix on brickipedia.
I'm very impressed with Bizzaro and Phoenix. Bizzaro looks just like the video game, so I assume Shazam will be similar.
I thought ninjago was going to go like atlantis: it started at the beggining of the year, very popular so they made more sets in the summer, but everyone forgot about it in 2012 when they changed it slightly (like skeletons to snakes, except that was popular.) but I am glad ninjago is succesful!
Every 5 year old boy my son knew in prek, knew Ninjago. Ninjago was played on the playground. The kids talked about the new sets coming out. The kids talked about what happened on the episodes. Ninjago has hit playground mode and school fad. Star Wars was the only other item that was as big. By the end of the year, though, Star Wars was rarely mentioned, since all the boy talk/play was Ninjago related.
For me, the main interest in this media release is the Sunday Ninjago info. I am excited about that.
Mayans wont stop me,l'll get that rancor!!!!
Oh my god. So excited!!! A Lego Rancor!! Can't wait!! I hope that the rest of the new Star Wars sets are going to be just as amazing….. hmmmm… think I might need a bigger house!!
That's fascinating how popular Ninjago has become. I had no idea. I wonder why it took off? The game aspect of it? The fact that it's ninjas and snakes? The cartoon supporting it?
And after reading some of these comments, I have a growing sense of dread that the Rancor will in fact be a Cave Troll-sized minifig and not a buildable creature like it should be. Not only would that be the easy way to do it, it would also explain how the entire pit could fit under Jabba's Palace.
Im curious to how lego have thought of the the door killing the rancor thing. Will it be split in two once the door hits it? Will the rancor have a gap in the back to fit the door? Will the door have a gap in it? I'll just have to wait and see...
Modok is right. Don't get too excited about the Rancor until you see pictures of it. My thought is that Lego is going to put a different paint scheme and different arms on the LOTR Cave Troll and call it the Rancor. Look at the stubby legs and head forward design of the Cave Troll. Attach different arms and that is your official Lego Rancor.
Ugh u r killing me!!!!! My parents won't take it's too expensive!!!!!! But can any one sneek a picture of that rancor for me I've been dying to an official rancor and maybe get me a venom???????
My wallet can't take it anymore withe the SW sets. But I hope these time we will have a real big ship. Not like the malevolence who is too small for the price. The minifigures are getting better but I'm quite disappointed with most of the summer sets. I like collecting minifigures but I also like large models.
@mikes0000 have some faith re: Rancor.... lego is on a roll, they won't let you down.
NO FLIPEN WAY!?!?!?!?!?!?!? THE RANCOR IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! And it looks like jabba's palace sits right on top of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An good excuse too get jabba's palace:), but for small kids it might be somewhat tricky too play with:\
Cant wait!
The picture's been removed from the link! Lego has once again realized their "mistakenly" released picture. Again. :(
Don't like the Ninjago line either, but they're hitting their target demographic of 5-8 years old perfectly. To me the line has a real lack of direction, whereas really excellent lines die after one wave of releases (Alien Conquest, Adventurers/Egypt, Agents...).
Must have that rancor!
the rancor will be like the cave troll
The picture can still be seen on the front page of this article as well as in the relevant discussion in the Brickset Forum. They may ask for them to be pulled but I've so far not seen any requests.
The Rancor is pretty awesome, but I'm so scared that it'll be Lego exploiting AFOLs with ridiculous prices again.
The set look pretty poor too - just one arena, no hole up to the surface, no second door like that one the Rancor gets stuck under. What are the chances of it being the same price as the Wampa cave? (0%? :P)
Saying that, the figures in this and the Jabba's palace are amazing, and the sets do look like good fun. I guess if the sets were £120 together I'd be happier. Thank you Lego for being so awesome! But I just can't justify your prices. :S
Doubt there will be fantastic four, but the Doc Doom minifig is quite cartoony, and Doc Doom was in the Ultimate Spiderman TV show. I predict he'll come with Nova and the plane that they flew in the episode. Also glad about the DKR set, that bane is awesome :D Knew they'd release it :P
I really need this along with Jabba's palace. Do we know when they are selling Jabba's palace in the US LEGO online store?
I imagined as such, those four holes beneath Jabba's Palace to fit over a Rancor pit were a bit of a give away I thought! The Rancor looks pretty good to me but maybe a little under sized, nevertheless, this looks like a great model to me!
Don't think much of the Rancor Pit, hardly any room for it, let alone any of the other minifigures, and knowing LEGO it will be hideously overpriced. Will pass on this and Jabba's Palace.
this is going to be cool
Rancor and minifigs look cool; set looks pretty meh though. Wonder how much this one will be.
Awesome! Now we need the band with the blue elephant and jabba's palace will be complete! That means that if they make another addition to the palace or a brand new sail barge, they'll need to remake a slave leia minifig.
Some people say there is a major flaw in the design, that the gate can't be lifted up with Jabba's palace on top of the rancor pit. But if you look closely at the edge of the side of the gate, there is a hinge piece, and there is the same thing in the front of Jabba's Palace, so you could pull the back of Jabba's palace away then pull up the gate, or the other way around. So it would still work.
^Good point. I saw another picture on FBTB and it definitely looks like the whole gate aparatus can be detached (or swung open as you have pointed out). If you look closely at the close up pic of the rancor keeper the gate and the main pit do not line up. They are separate entities. I'd post the link but I'm not sure if that is allowed? Someone also posted the underside pic of the palace and after doing a stud count it looks like the gate may not be able to open freely even when the gate piece is swung closed, which is not ideal. But i guess we'll have to wait and see if this is the case. But I have to say I like the idea of the swing gate. Better for playability and displaying IMO. I'm getting the space ready on my shelf :)
So, where's the Ninjago news?
@tamamahm: Yeah! I've been waiting all week, and still there is nothing
I posted the picture of the holes under Jabba's Palace and the theory about an upcoming Rancor Pit on Eurobricks back on June 8th (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58035&view=findpost&p=1306495), and also here on Brickset on June 20th (http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=3498). Ever since building the Palace, I have been wondering how they were going to design the inevitable Rancor Pit, and I was glad to see the pictures so soon!
I have to say however that the pictures of The official Rancor Pit I have seen so far have been a let-down. Not because of the size or because of the Rancor, but because of the seeming lack of integration and vision in the designs of the Palace and the Pit.
First of all, the holes / pyramid tabs are not in a square: they are spaced 12 and 14 studs respectively. This means the Palace can only be stacked on the Pit in two different ways, instead of at 90° intervals. Secondly, the hinges on the Palace do not match up with the hinges on the Pit: on the Palace, the holes are on the hinging part, whereas on the Pit, they are not. Thirdly, the limited ways of stacking the Palace on the Pit, in combination with the limited 90° opening of the Pit gate means that the Pit gate is in no way able to support the tower. Fourthly (as has been mentioned above), when the Palace is stacked and the Pit hinges are in the compact position, the portcullis cannot be opened. And lastly, when the Palace is stacked on the Pit, the crossbars between the pyramid tabs severely obstruct 'Jabba's view' through the 8x8 grates in the floor of the Palace. BTW, these last two problems can be 'remedied' slightly by opening the Pit's hinged gate part: allowing for both an unobstructed view AND for a working portcullis play feature, by having the portcullis stick out from under the Palace, but it's going to make the complete structure look even messier than it would do already with just the free-floating tower.
oh man! I can't wait for this to come out, Does anyone know if this will come out in January 2013?
Someone pointed out to me that I mistook which side measures 12 studs and which side measures 14 studs: which means that the Rancor Pit gate will always be to the left or the right side, instead of back or front. This means that although the Rancor gate might in fact support the tower, the 8x8 grate WILL always be partially blocked by a beam, and the tower will still block the portcullis if the gate is folded under it.
@The Reviewer: This set will be coming out in January 2013.
@ iabstract: The price for the rancor pit will be $59.99.
what will go under the tower when the main building is on top of the rancor pit?
@dilophosaurus: It is likely that you will have to take it off, or modify it by putting supports under it. Hopefully it will stay up with out the need of supports!!! But I doubt it!!!

Deep into the bowels of ancestral cuisine!
Grease… vital saturated fat and cholesterol
Guts… organ meat & offal
Bones…meat on the bone & bone stock
Grass… safe to consume raw animal food
Shoots… proper seed preparation
Pickles… wild fermentation & culturing
In this six-week series we will shadow a real life Indiana Jones character, in the person of Dr. Weston A. Price, as he traverses the globe in search of healthy, disease-free populations. Along with the visionary doctor and his intrepid wife and assistant Florence, we'll visit indigenous groups in fourteen different countries still in existence in the early part of the last century, enjoying a rare bird's-eye view of a culture as it relates to it's ancient nourishing traditions.
We will come to understand the wisdom of building a cuisine around such unlikely sounding ingredients as: grease, guts, bones, grass, shoots and pickles, as well as the high price a culture pays when they abandon their ancestral food-ways.
We will gain an understanding of the six principles of healthy indigenous diets that transcend global position, historical context and specific food availability, and develop the skills necessary to integrate them into our modern existence.
Each 3 hour class will be divided between exploration/discussion and hands on kitchen technique building. The series tuition is $300, payable before the first class. To maintain a consistent class experience for all, I require a series commitment; you pay for all six classes regardless of attendance. However, each student is entitled to make-up one missed class due to illness or personal emergency.
We will learn to:
* Preserve and enhance the nutrient content of food while simultaneously replenishing our own 'gut ecology' through the ancient alchemy of lacto-fermentation in recipes like sauerkraut, kombucha, crème fraiche, and yogurt cheese
* Create an unparalleled digestive elixir in the form of old-fashioned meat stock and bone broth to use in soups, stews, sauces and gravies
* Prepare grains and other seed foods for maximum digestibility/nutrient absorption and minimal anti-nutrient interference in recipes your family will love, like buttermilk soaked granola, sprouted spelt butter crackers and chocolate/almond 'nookies'
* Appreciate the unequalled repairing and rebuilding properties of organ meat prepared in recipes like gourmet French chicken liver pate and old-fashioned 'hearty' meatloaf
* Consume raw/rare animal food daily to enjoy an unprecedented increase in energy in mouth-watering recipes like seared filet of beef with Marsala reduction sauce
* Revere sacred animal fats and tropical oils to finally experience true satiation when consuming recipes like homemade ice cream with chocolate 'magic shell'

NOAA depicts several maritime boundaries on its nautical charts. U.S. maritime limits and boundaries are measured by nautical miles.
A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth, and is equal to one minute of latitude. It is slightly more than a statute (land measured) mile (1 nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles). Nautical miles are used for charting and navigating.
A knot is one nautical mile per hour (1 knot = 1.15 miles per hour). The term knot dates from the 17th century, when sailors measured the speed of their ship by using a device called a "common log." This device was a coil of rope with uniformly spaced knots, attached to a piece of wood shaped like a slice of pie. The piece of wood was lowered from the back of the ship and allowed to float behind it. The line was allowed to pay out freely from the coil as the piece of wood fell behind the ship for a specific amount of time. When the specified time had passed, the line was pulled in and the number of knots on the rope between the ship and the wood were counted. The speed of the ship was said to be the number of knots counted (Bowditch, 1984).
NOAA's Office of Coast Survey is the nation's nautical chartmaker. Originally formed by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807, Coast Survey updates charts, surveys the coastal sea floor, responds to maritime emergencies, and searches for underwater obstructions that pose a danger to navigation.

There is an oak tree in my back yard that was apparently transplanted there (from the front) by the previous owners. I am not sure what exactly is wrong with it, but it definitely is not blooming as it should! I was wondering if any experts out there could look at the pictures and tell me if it is a lost cause . . . if not, what should we do with it? If you click on the pic below, it will take you to the picasa album.
It has started to flower just a bit as spring has started here in South Carolina. But it seems very diseased! Thank you in advance for any help you can give as I am new to gardening (and to the forum!) :) |

Whatever that bondage is that's encasing the rootball is the likely cause. tj |
What is that stuff on the ground. I can't tell if it's pieces of tile or wood or what. I guess that's what TJ is talking about. Whatever it is, does it extend underground? |
If you're getting green new growth it's not dead, but the black on the trunk bottom is weird, I assumed those were rocks on the soil.Is it a live oak? They lose their leaves in spring and put out new ones, did it defoliate? I can't see anything that would worry me if it were my tree besides the black on the trunk,maybe my eyeballs are not working as good as someone elses. |

A good indicator that a plant is alive is when it flowers. I suspect the black stuff on the trunk is from a brush fire. And that stuff around the trunk all looks bad. Poor thing just has obstacle after obstacle thrown at it, and it keeps going on. A lesson for all of us! Dan |
- Posted by marinewife2009 none (My Page) on Fri, Apr 15, 11 at 22:00
I apologize for taking so long in responding! Crazy few days of meetings. Anyway, I think that we probably need to look at what the bondage at the bottom of the tree is. I will let you all know what the status is after we excavate around the trunk! @Poaky, it simply does not grow at all. I realize that an oak tree would lose its leaves and then grow back, but each year it only produces a teeny tiny bit of leaves and then stagnates. That is why I am concerned. Thanks so much for everyone's help! |

It might need to be inoculated with soil fungus from under a healthy oak tree. Then keep it mulched. |

Tobacco Tax Petitions
8:19 am
Fri January 20, 2012
Tobacco tax petitions seek approval for circualtion
Reporting by KCUR's Elana Gordon was used in this story.
Two petitions that would affect taxes on tobacco products in Missouri are going through the approval process for circulation.
One would give cities and counties the ability to set and control tobacco taxes. The state has preempted local tobacco taxes since 1993.
Petitions supporters say local communities should have the right to determine how tobacco tax dollars are used. But Misty Snodgrass with the American Cancer Society says the proposal is problematic.
"It doesn't have any significant public health benefit to the state," Snodgrass said, " and it won't go towards all the activities that we're focused on."
Snodgrass is leading a separate petition effort by a coalition of health groups. Their proposal would raise the state cigarette tax by 73 cents. Half the additional revenue would be directed to elementary education, a third would go to higher education and the rest would go to tobacco prevention programs.
Both groups need to collect more than 90,000 signatures by May in order for the proposals to be brought up for a vote this year.

What Distinguishes Quality Interactions® From Other Healthcare and Healthplan Professional Approaches?
  Teaches the ResCUE model for cross-cultural communication (Respect Diversity, Communicate Clearly, Understand Differences, and Engage the Individual), a framework that aims to improve interactions with diverse patient populations as well as colleagues and co-workers. The ResCUE model is centered on the idea that there are basic principles, tools and skills one can utilize to improve cross-cultural communication in the care of patients, and in the workplace. This is unlike other training methods that teach separate approaches, or focus specifically on cultural awareness or sensitivity.
  Utilizes the latest in problem-based learning educational theory, allowing the user to actively engage in multiple scenarios and real cases that are interactive, as well as instructive. This is unlike other training methods that are didactic or observational, where the user is not challenged or given the opportunity to "solve the problem."
  Uses e-learning technology, which is time-flexible and allows the user to move at their own pace−at a time that is convenient for them and provides personalized, real-time performance feedback. This is unlike other training methods that are time and resource intensive, require individuals to be pulled out of their daily jobs at set times to participate in workshops, and oftentimes necessitate outside expertise for group facilitation.
  Allows users to obtain a certificate and for organizations to track the utilization and performance of their staff. This is unlike other training methods that can be given to users without ever verifying whether they used the product, or how well they performed on it.
  Was created by nationally recognized experts with extensive experience providing, researching, and teaching cross-cultural care and communication. Together they have accrued over forty years of combined experience in cross-cultural care and education and have numerous peer-reviewed publications in the field. This is unlike other training programs conducted by individuals with limited experience, and no validation of their strategies by their peers.
  Responds directly to the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine Reports "Unequal Treatment" and "Crossing the Quality Chasm" by focusing on quality of care, disparities, patient-centeredness, equity, and the use of evidence-based practice guidelines (provided as links in the program). This is unlike other training methods that separate cross-cultural issues from communications and patient experience education, allowing cultural competence to be "marginalized."
  Provides a framework to provide quality care to all patients in an effective and time−efficient manner.This is unlike other training methods that teach extensive lists of patient "types" that are both stereotypic and impractical in the busy health care setting.

If Left Unnamed
If left out there, unnamed, it can't escape
Evade definitions and then return
Becoming something new and giving names
To that unnamed and hidden sense of dread
That turns all days to nights and nights to fears
Which haunt each dream, and grow from shadowed dark
To walk though memory and night and dreams.
So nightmare turns, becomes obsession. Dread
Itself becomes a fear of fear that grows
From days and nights which turn from dreams to fear.
And you are there and waiting for the day
To take your hand and take you on towards
A better form of life, away from here
And all it promised you, and failed to bring
Up to your open door you left ajar
And waiting for the day to come for you
To take you far from here to some unknown
And newer, further place not weighted down
So heavily with histories and tales
The stories, myths and legends all now told
Of golden days from long ago, and times
Before these days became the newest days
And suddenly it seemed as though forever
Was closer, ready now to grow and bloom
Into these moments you could never lose.

A series of comedic ads promoting Krisview CCTV feature people hiding from their oppressors behind their backs. Each ad has a different scenario where a person gleefully hides behind the back of the person searching for them. One ad shows a burglar stuck to the back of a police officer. Another has a worker sleeping behind his supervisor's back. The tagline "No more blind spots" is written next to the humorous visuals.
The print ads were conceived and implemented by ad agency JWT Indonesia. JWT promoted Krisview by presenting scenarios where the surveillance system could be useful. By featuring scenes where the hider is literally behind the seeker's back, the ad agency is creating a sense of frustration in the viewer.

You are here:
Performance Gallery was developed at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery in response to the excellent collections which relate to performance. The new gallery opened in 2002, and Kalabari masquerade is one of the eight installations of people in performance from around the world.
Performance Gallery presents Naked Big Fish on open display at an entrance to the gallery. Just larger than life and crowned with a large Sawfish mask, the figure towers over the viewer, brandishing swords in both hands. Behind the sculpture is a large image showing an Ijo sawfish masker in performance.
Performance is about an experience at a particular time. That experience is very different if you are the performer or the spectator. In writing texts for the gallery we tried to present these very different perspectives for the different performances. We tried where possible to work the direct quotes of performers or spectators or makers into these texts.
Consider Kalabari Masquerade as Spectator, as Performer, as Maker.
Kalabari people live surrounded by the water of the Niger Delta. We believe in water spirits.
Long ago Kalabari women saw water spirits playing at the shore. They described them to their men, who made Masquerade. In a cycle lasting twenty years, spirits come to perform for you and they tell you stories about their world.
'I am a viewer. A woman is a viewer. Women don't expose the maskers. Even if it is your son. We know but we don't expose them.' (Kalabari masquerade spectator).
The young men bring their costumes and headdresses and transform themselves into gods.
The men are sewn into their costumes. In front they strap on pregnant bellies, with huge phalluses behind. On their heads the carvings have conversations with God.
'People can never know it is you. Even my wife can never know that I am playing the masquerade. When you put it on, the spirit will descend on you and you don't feel anything. No tiredness, no heat, nothing.' Anonymous (Kalabari masker).
'I wanted people to know what a mask looked like when it was fully dressed and alive ... not as it is often introduced in museums, without a body.
'In 1996 Nigerians in the Delta were killed without trial. ... I wanted to show the gods had left us and we were just left with men pretending to be gods. 'Naked Big Fish came about because I wanted to undress the masquerader and show him for what he was, a man in a costume.' Sokari Douglas Camp (artist)

Let Terrence Ross dunk. Also, give the kid some more minutes. That is all…
On the next one, the rookie decided to preface the jam by showing off his range and defensive awareness:
Once Ross got out on the fast break, it was pretty awesome to see nearly the entire arena (including the Raptors bench) rise in anticipation of what he was about to do.
The guy that was supposedly "a reach" at No. 8 in the draft is an athletic freak who can shoot and already plays legit NBA defence at the wing. Yeah, 'cause guys like that just aren't top-eight material. Remember what I've been saying about people underestimating Ross' potential?

Apparently there are some things even the almighty Oprah Winfrey can't save.
After fans of canceled soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" started bombarding the talk show giant with requests for her to pick up the shows on the OWN network, Winfrey made a video explaining why she just can't.
"I understand what it feels like to have a show you love off the air, I appreciate that you all think I could save the soaps," says Oprah. "But here is the bone marrow truth. The soaps have been an institution in
broadcast history and television because they had the support of the
Winfrey then lays out the sad statistics -- and the ratings info she has isn't pretty.
She continues, "Believe me, if there was a dime left to be made from them on broadcast television it would still be happening ... I will not be taking on the responsibility of trying to revive an institution that for all intent and all purpose indicates that that time has come for it to be over. So thank you for believing I could save them. But I really can't."
"All My Children" has been on the air since 1970 ... and "One Life to Live" debuted in 1968. Both were given the ax last week.

I stopped watching CBS and now ABC, they do not care they made their money, they do not care about the fans that had watched these show for years.
sue: 1379 days ago
I cannot believe they are taking All My Children off the air, I have watched it since day one! I don't think they took into consideration that some people watch these 2 shows on soapnet, since we work during the day. Have you checked the ratings on there also ? I will not even turn my TV on during my lunch hours again !
kitty: 1379 days ago
I understand that Oprah's network might not have money to buy the soaps, but I wished she checked the facts before citing low ratings:
1. One Live to Live is the 3rd highest rated soap on daytime tv, and it's also has high rating among 18-38 viewers (it's obvious ABC doesn't give a damn about anybody older than 38). So if it was all about the ratings why did they choose OLTL?
2. OLTL ratings have been climbing up not declining.
3. The ratings of daytime shows are inaccurate. A lot of us professional people record them to watch in the evening/weekends. Also most of us don't want to bother be "Nielson families" - I know somebody who was asked and refused.
4. The ratings would've been much higher if Frohns hadn't been purposely destroying them for years by ignoring fans' suggestions, by getting rid of actors that fans like, by re-writing history, etc....
5. If the ratings of AMC is low, it could well be improved with better storylines.
6. Over half of soap opera viewers are professionals who record the shows. NOBODY is going to record yet another talk show or yet another show about food or losing weight.

For 25 years soaps have been a lead in to her show. The way her new network is floundering you would think she would at least extend there life and give it chance. I'm sure that would be a way to get ppl to watch her channel,I bet there is a very huge number of soap fans that watch her show. She could be shooting herself in the foot by pi$$ing them off. She could always air them at night IMO I think that she is making a very bad business decision, but now that she is sitting on a mint it doesn't really matter to her. At least as short term trial to thank them for helping put her on the map. and if she gets the rights to the older shows and airs them as well it would be a goldmine.
TIRED OF ALL SLUTS,MCGEE, ETC...: 1379 days ago
So sorry to see the soaps cancelled. I have watched for years. They are our extended family.
Athletes, Entertainers, Singers, watch them too. Big mistake ABC. Send Sawyer,Roberts and Walters to the Royal Wedding, 3 to cover it at least, use the money for the shows and actors!!!
ELI: 1379 days ago
Oprah is just blowing smoke out her a..!
She could buy the two shows and then put them on OWN!
fran: 1379 days ago
I cannot believe he is taking these 2 shows off. For what more food shows? Why stop there, take General Hospital off and make a clean sweep. There is more violence on GH then AMC & OLTL. If the ratings are down then go after the writers to write good stories. I will not watch another food show or reality show and as for Rachel Ray I will not watch anymore either. She is so happy the food show is coming on because they are her friends. Not one word about our soaps going off. I don't watch the View, can't stand the people on there, all they do is hackle the whole time. ABC has turned me off and now I will turn you off. I am not alone when I say I will BOYCOTT these shows. I guess Brian Frons was lying when he said the fans matter. After Jan 2012 ABC is dead to me and I can't wait for those 2 shows to fail.
pam: 1379 days ago
Oprah is right. The soaps would still be on the air if enough people were watching them. Producing a soap is very expensive compared to reality, cooking or talk shows. The truth is there is more money to be made with other types of shows. The networks are losing viewers to cable channels and the internet every day. They are not in the business of keeping their loyal soap fans happy. If anything, they are willing to drop you and pick up a more profitable viewing demographic. The only thing about fans that matters to a network is the number of them watching a show. And if that number isn't high enough to justify the production costs, the show will be gone. That's why there are so many reality shows. They are cheap to make and lots of people watch them (not me). the soaps have been dying for at least 20 years. Time to let them go.
Stella: 1379 days ago
That is BULL and you know it. I know for a FACT that Bob Iger got an $8M Christmas bonus, trust me there is money available. Why does it ALWAYS come down to money, REALLY? what about joy and looking forward to escaping with Erica.
Do the right thing ABC and Oprah your support would help.
lora: 1379 days ago
I shall boycott whatever appears in the time slot that belongs to AMC...good bye Channel 7. I have a graduate degree...not uneducated or stupid. This decision is a BIG mistake
Roxanne : 1379 days ago
Why not buy them and air the shows later in the evening? Why not check soap net veiwership? Yes we have to work during the day but most busy soap fans catch up during the evening. Air those shows at 6pm and 7pm, that way to catch fans who are home from work and you're not competing with primetime heavy hitters like american idol, dancing with the stars etc... take a page out of Telemundo and Univision's book. They have huge success with their late night novelas. Remember when General Hospital had theit primetime special and what about the many successful primetime serials in the past (Dallas, Knots Landing,Dynasty, Falcon Crest etc...). I know it's more expensive to shoot on film (used for prime time shows) vs. video (used for most daytime serials), 6 and 7pm are still early enough that they could get away with it.
I have a graduate degree and I LOVE soaps
Betty: 1378 days ago
I am so angry that my two favorite soaps have been cancelled. I have watched All My Children since it started and record it daily. It is the only show I watch regularly. My husband and I look forward to watching it each night when we get home from work. I will not watch another talk show or reality show!! I am so sick of them!!
Maria: 1377 days ago
I understand ...Oprah will be way too busy trying to save the Obamas over the next 2 years.

Julien Farel, French celebrity hairstylist, opened his first international salon at Capella Pedregal back in July 2009. During his last visit he sat down with me to talk about his new projects and share some vacation hairstyling tips for our Capella Blog readers.
Julien, I am so excited to have you back with us at Capella Pedregal! What surprises did you prepare for us this time?
I am so happy to be back and to have escaped the NYC winter. I came to train the team on my new product line to ensure that we are taking the Capella hair experience to the next level. Of course, I had appointments with a few Capella clients as well. I always love seeing my Capella Pedregal clients!
And we love having you here. Please tell me more about your line of haircare and styling products, what are its benefits, what were your intentions when creating it?
We are taking the lead in the Anti-Aging Haircare arena and by bringing the science of skincare to haircare. Our hero product, Restore brings us a cut above the rest because it is a completely new way of treating the hair, scalp and follicle. Restore is multifunctional, like advanced skincare, so with one product, you can cleanse, treat and condition your hair. Our entire Anti-Aging haircare line is powered by Anti-Aging Balance 'A2B' Technology to deliver powerful Bioactives to the hair, scalp and follicle. This results in the optimal environment for hair growth.
It is very hard to protect your hair while on vacation, being on the ocean and under the sun can damage your hair. Do you have any tips and products you can suggest for enjoying the beach and pools without damaging one's hair?
YES. JF Anti-Aging Haircare Restore is a must for after swimming in the pool or in salt water. It replenishes and rebalances the natural oils of your hair for immediate results due to its ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid. It cancels out a long day of bad hair behavior by deeply penetrating into the follicle, scalp, and hair.
And for a romantic night (say, at El Farallón Restaurant!), you have a trained team at the Julien Farel Salon at Capella Pedregal that can pamper guests. Can you tell me what services would suit such an occasion?
JF Salon at Capella Pedregal can offer hair styling with our cutting-edge products, hair coloring as well as any makeup application. A bold cut that is based on the architecture of your face and silhouette, and reveals your personality can give you the confidence to conquer the world. And, confidence is the sexiest part of a woman.
Thank you Julien! Cannot wait to book my next appointment at the Salon!

ok...i have a really weirdo weirderton question...first let me explain...i have a lip ring...a quite new one, and one of the things needed to keep it clean is mouthwash after you eat anything. now i'm not always around a sink or somewhere i can spit in (or sometimes i just wanna lounge in bed w/ the hubby, but i dont wanna kill him w/ the breath ;)aaaanyway...i was wondering if it would hurt a plant at all if i spit the mouthwash into the soil. (i feel so weird asking this question...blech...) anybody have any idea? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm thinking it couldn't be too good, there are tons of chemicals in those.....but how about doing what they did in the old, old days - a "spit bowl" of some sort (with a cover of course!) at the bedside?? |
As harsh as it feels to the human mouth, Listerine might be fine for plants (not supporting Pfizer, but it's the only brand I could get the ingredient list to quickly). See below. Most of the active ingredients are actually herbal derivatives (from thyme oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil; methyl salicylate is similar to asprin). The benzoic acid and sodium benzoate in the inactive ingredients are probably not the best for plant health, but are in as preservative and probably at low concentrations. Poloxamer 407 is a surfactant and shouldn't be directly toxic but may affect the soil (surfactants are used environmentally to help 'wash' contaminated soils). HOWEVER, I don't know what the effects of alcohol on plants would be. That'd be the ingredient of concern. Might be worth experimenting with one of you least favorite plants. LISTERINE® Active Ingredients: Thymol 0.064%, Eucalyptol 0.092%, Methyl Salicylate 0.060% and Menthol 0.042%. Inactive Ingredients: Water, Alcohol 26.9%, Benzoic Acid, Poloxamer 407, Sodium Benzoate, and Caramel. |
With the major ingredient as alcohol can't see where this is going to hurt plants. I use straight alcohol for dealing with pest on houseplants. |
- Posted by ChicagoMike z5 IL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 05 at 14:23
Wouldn't the alcohol kill off some of the living microorganisms in the soil? It's a disinfectant. Wouldn't want to wipe out your microherd with a mouthful, eh? |
The amount of mouthwash is very small compared to the micoherd in the soil-it isn't going to hurt anything. |
I used mouthwash to kill ants that took up residents in my green onion bed and it did not hurt the onions at all. |

My husband uses Listerine in a lawn concoction he got from Jerry Baker. It actually helps the lawn! |
- Posted by Dchall_San_Antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Jun 11, 05 at 12:12
Yes it absolutely will significantly hurt the soil microherd. As was mentioned alcohol is an antiseptic. Thus by definition it kills bacteria. Bacteria are what give life and structure to soil. And since there are 10-20 layers of invisible bacteria and fungi living on the leaf surfaces, too, spraying plants with alcohol is disturbing the plant's ability to fight off disease. How about a spitoon? |
- Posted by chancygardener 6-NW AR (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 05 at 21:24
BF and I started to wonder about the old Listerine's effect on our septic system....will it harm the necessary bacteria living in there? Dentist orders for us both to do Listerine rinses at least twice a day. I usually go outside and spit it out on weeds in the morning. Can't tell that it's harmed any weeds where I've been spitting. |
Jerry Baker, radio gardener, has used mouthwash as part of his hose-end sprayer recipes with great success. It does not hurt plants, but it does kill microbes in the soil. Bottom line: I don't think it will hurt the house plants and it should keep mold and mildew from forming in the soil. Re: septic tanks I think anything you put down the drain will hurt a septic system's bacteria. Including mouthwash. Alcohol will kill some bacteria (not all in the septic tank) and slow the process. Same thing with drain openers, and cleaners with bleach and other chemicals (like cleanser with bleach). |
I've been living with septic systems for 25 years. Rinsing you mouth a couple of times a day with Listerine or doing a few loads of wash with bleach added won't make a dent in the microbial population in a septic system. Dumping gallons and gallons of the stuff into the septic might. Just like a few mothfulls of alcohol containing mouthwash spit into the soil. Immediately kill microbes? Maybe a few. Alter the overall population and ruin the garden? Not likely. Lets be realistic. |
- Posted by Dchall_San_Antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Oct 8, 05 at 2:23
Realistically speaking (or writing), every bacterium or fungus that gets soaked in 25% alcohol will die. If she's spitting into the same potted plant all the time, the soil will lose all its life and will require continual sterilizations to prevent the "mold and mildew" from forming. If the soil was left alone or organically fertilized, it would prevent mold and mildew by itself. The Jerry Baker concoction has very little sterilization effect because the small amount of mouthwash is diluted in 15 gallons of water and they sprayed through the air where the alcohol will evaporate before hitting the ground. |

Vintage Christmas Photos
Posted By Stuart L On November 1, 2009 @ 4:51 pm In Photo Tips | 2 Comments
Reliving memories of the past is always good fun, bringing back feelings of nostalgia even to the grinchiest of adults. Rummage through Grandma's closet, dust off old photo albums and sort through old Christmas photos. You'll need to scan physical photos onto your computer (or take them to a professional scanning services company.) Once you do, upload pictures on Shutterfly and put together your own vintage Christmas photo book using Simple Path. It'll be 5 minutes of easy work that will draw coos and laughter on Christmas morning, especially if pictures involve family members with dated clothes and bad hair.
Here are some Christmas photos I found online to get you in the right mind set:

I have a saltillo tile floor in my manufactured home. I was assured by the dealer it would not be a problem to install this. It was fine at first, but now after several years the grout is cracking and drying out, leaving holes. What is causing this? The tile was laid over lineolium. I don't know if the grout can be repaired, or even if I do, it will just crack again. I am wondering if I should just have the tile removed and replaced with something else like Pergo or hardwood? It looks horrible and is driving me crazy! Please, any ideas? My home is a Santa Fe style and that is why we did the Saltillo. I also have it in the master bath and office... where it still looks fine. It is only bad in the entry area, kitchen and part of the living room (just around the edge). The majority of the living room is fine. But if I have to take it out, it will all have to go! |

I'm not a tile expert, but I won't let that stop me from offering an opinion! Perhaps it's not the fault of the tile or grout. I've never seen tile installed over a non-absorbant material. Wood sub-flooring or even concrete gives a surface that tile, adhesive and grout can all cling to. I'm not sure that grout has a prayer of adhering to linoleum. Sounds to me like whoever installed the tile took a shortcut by not removing the linoleum. Wayne |

The floor is not strong enough to support the weight of tile. the deflecting due to the weight is causing the joints to flex and breaks the grout. I would remove the tile and go with a lighter finish. Oh, don't trust the dealers, they will tell you anything you want to hear! |
