A letter of thanks to Evergreen on Thanksgiving Editor: In this economy it is sometimes difficult to come up with something for which we are or should be thankful. Living in Evergreen, however, makes thankfulness an easy task. We are blessed to live in this community. Last week proved this to be so true.
Evergreen residents quick to help Editor: Spending time in Evergreen is like going back in time for me … to my childhood where neighbors were family and rallied to help one another. On a recent Saturday, the people of Evergreen did just that. While riding your beautiful trails, I fell from my horse and was unable to get to my feet.
Library board expresses regret for possible open-meetings violations Editor: In a recent Columbine Courier article by Emile Hallez and Doug Bell, the story pointed out that the Jeffco Library Board of Trustees may have made mistakes in invoking executive sessions to discuss the potential recruitment of a new executive director.
Spencer's Team says thanks Editor: We would like to thank all volunteers and supporters of the Spencer Page family fund-raisers. The Page family is honored to be part of such a wonderful and supportive community! The fund-raisers were a big success, and we are grateful to all who participated:
Expanded church would be incompatible with its residential surroundings Editor:
Church expansion would harm Lookout Mountain, Lariat Loop Editor:
You call that hunting? Editor: So shooting an animal from one's deck is called "hunting"? Hunting formerly involved tracking, using skills to outwit the animal, stamina, woodsmanship, and dispatching the quarry with a well-placed shot, all for food for the family.
Irony or hypocrisy? Editor: Isn't it surprising that on Aug. 18 when the Jefferson County Board of Education was considering how to have fewer students referred to law enforcement, they called the Sheriff's Office to take care of a citizen attending the board meeting?
Extra care required when driving on Buffalo Park Road Editor: We live near the intersection of Buffalo Park Road and Blue Spruce Road, and as the school year begins we wanted to share some concerns about the traffic on Buffalo Park Road.
Don't take our dedicated EMTs for granted Editor: On July 4, 2011, I suffered a near-fatal fall down a steep flight of stairs, resulting in eight broken ribs (many with multiple breaks) and a lacerated spleen. The Evergreen paramedics and EMTs saved my life. Due to their prompt response and phenomenal care on site and during my transport to St. Anthony's trauma center, I am now recovering quite well.

Welcome To Dermot's Dishes
Your taste buds will come alive with this mouth-watering range of original recipes using all the best in local Irish produce. Currently in the 2nd edition which is focused on Co. Louth. To see a sample of the recipes available in the book please click on the link above.
By downloading or buying a hard copy of the book or CD online you are contributing to the support and development of "The Ministry of Food".
About Dermot
Dermot Seberry is a lecturer of culinary arts and gastronomy, a food writer and a former International 5 Star Chef. From the "Wee County" of Louth, Dermot was reared in the countryside parish of Monasterboice, on the East coast of Ireland. As a young lad living in a predominantly farmland community, his culinary passion was inspired by youthful memories of huge field mushrooms cooked on the old Aga stove, the taste of fresh thick cream skimmed from the top of the freshly squeezed bucket of milk and the aroma and taste of the warm currant bread from the neighbouring farm house kitchen.
Educated and trained in the Dublin Institute of Technology, his profession led him around Ireland and abroad for 16 years to establishments such as the Ballymascanlon Hotel, Ballynahinch Castle, The Copthorne Hotel Gatwick, The Savoy Hotel London, The Palace Hotel, Sun City in South Africa, Smollenskys Restaurants in London and Mount Juliet Golf & Country Club in Co. Kilkenny. Dermot set up a hospitality consultancy business in London addressing quality assurance within the catering industry and education sector. He left London as a Senior Lecturer in 2005 returning to live in Monasterboice, Co Louth where he now teaches and continues his consultancy work for his former place of training, the Dublin Institute of Technology.
Inspired and impressed with the development of Irish food artisans and their produce, this book represents a combination of three important aspects of Dermot's life – Promoting true artisan food, sharing the simple life skill of 'how to cook' and where possible, being a blessing to those less fortunate.

I had to respond to this. I have the same situation on and off for about 8 years with my best friend.
I was completely in love with him. We began to do things too when drinking. He started it. The first time he started stroking his Dick out side of his pants when I was messaging him. I sucked him off he said thanks and went to bed. He got very weird the next day we had gone out to the gay bar for kybirthday where he picked a fight with a guy who was looking at him. Go figure trying to prove his masculinity.
We started doing things again a few months later, me sucking him off. I finally brought some jerk off toys into it, different lube and things. Finally I started fingering his ass which he loved and will never admit it. Finally after awhile I felt used and I wanted to be loved so bad in return. This whole time I thought he was just getting comfortable and would eventually start loving me.
He started tucking girls and i was devastated. I cried everyday for weeks. It hurt me so very badly.
Then he would come around again, tell me they broke up and he could never get off with them like he could with me. Stupid me, I sucked him off again.
During this whole time of him wanting it he would turn at times and say I took advantage of him because he was drunk. I was floored. If anybody was being taken advantage of it was me being used.
But it continued. We would be on then he would freak out and not talk for months. Come back apologize and start things up again.
Finally he said one night. I want to know what its like for gay guys, dropped his pants and wanted me to fuck him. I was Sooo nervous I couldn't get a full on erection. But we fucked for a few minutes real slow. Then I got on top of him and road his cock. It felt wonderful!
That was the last time anything happened. We remain friends and he is actually living with me for a ear now. I have set my feelings aside to remain friends. It's been working out. I never regret what we have done, if he offers im on it. Knowing what of only will be.
Lately he has been bringing up what we have done, especially the ass, I think he is wanting it again. Has to be his idea, I will not be responsible.
That's my story, if you can separate your feeling.vs, then have fun. If not, you will be heart broken when he is done using you. And it hurts very very bad. Be careful, have fun and when you can't stand the lack of love and emotion, get out for your own sanity. If you get heart broken, you will heal in time, don't do anything crazy. Surround yourself with people who love you.

Drip irrigation works OK on herbs and veggies but on large (2-6 feet) fruit plants and containers I want to use micro sprayers to spread out the water evenly instead dripping water in one spot that concentrated in the bottom and the other side of the root/plant does get watered. I see one local nursery using it but I'm having hard time buying from local big box store, I'd like to advoid ordering online and wait for days and hassle with their refund. |
Follow-Up Postings:
To be specific I'm looking for 6Gph mist micro sprayers . Adjustable would be great, I'm onl my way to HD to return more sprayers |
Try one of the specialists that sells to nurseries and irrigation professionals. Main problem may be that they sell in quantities of 100 or so. I don't know; you'll have to ask. |
d, I suggest you make a 1/4" drip line ring at about 3/4 the way out from the trunk to the outer edge of the pot. Evenly place 6- each adjustable drippers on the ring. Adjust the dripper and the irrigation time to get the wetness you desire. Use a fairly good draining soil mix and at the beginning time the irrigation till the water comes out of the bottom of the pot. Let us know how it goes. Misting is not good for trees or vegetables leaves. The roots are the most important part of the plant. JMHO aloha |

You aren't going to find it at home depot. Lots of online stores for micro irrigation. Note: Most places distinguish between mist and spray. Mist nozzles produce very fine droplets. (a few thousands of an inch. Big fog. Squint to see.) Half of them evaporate on the way to the ground, and a 1 mph wind takes the entire stream away. Spray droplets are bigger -- about 1/40th of an inch. |

Increase Home Value

Welcome Week 2013 - SFTS Celebrates Beginning of School Year |
Included in Welcome Week were the usual orientation-type activities to help new students thrive in their chosen academic programs: tours of both the SFTS and Graduate Theological Union libraries, obtaining student ID cards, learning how to register for classes, and meeting academic advisors. However, Welcome Week was much more than a New Student Orientation; it was a celebration of the enfolding of new and returning members of our community into a shared life. In line with God's call into community, the Welcome Week team envisioned this week as an opportunity for the whole community to re-gather, and to attune a newly-comprised community to the rhythms of hospitality that San Francisco Theological Seminary strives to embody.
Therefore, a number of the events were social gatherings. The staff of SFTS hosted a Cookout on Monday following the grand reopening of Holy Grounds and the Community Fair, which featured area businesses, churches, and other community organizations. On Wednesday, students will trekked over to Berkeley to mingle with students of other GTU member schools, and on Friday afternoon, Bouick Field was the site of "A Picnic, Kickball, & Other Shenanigans." Welcome Week events closed on Saturday with a hike across Mt. Tamalpais to Stinson Beach, where a BBQ and cheering group was waiting.
Whether or not you were able to join us, we hope that each of our valued audiences enjoy the video and slideshow below as a way to share in the excitement, community, and fun of Welcome Week!

Backstreet Café
Houston, TX, 77019, United States
Inside a charming '30s-era house in Houston's Montrose neighborhood is the Backstreet Café. The intimate dining room spans two floors, but the real draw for this restaurant is the New Orleans-style patio. Set amongst lush shrubbery and vine-covered arbors, the tree-shaded patio is a favorite of guests looking to enjoy the weather. Executive chef Hugo Ortega serves up a menu of New American cuisine with signature dishes like pecan-crusted chicken and the hulking, aptly-named meatloaf tower. The restaurant is especially popular for its weekend brunch specialties, which include brioche French toast stuffed with bananas and the ever-popular shrimp and stone ground cheese grits.
Insider Tip:
Backstreet Cafe is a good choice for vegetarians. They offer a separate menu that's entirely vegetarian, sporting options like portabella burgers and jalapeno fettucine.

Tony Greenberg, CEO of RampRate (http://www.ramprate.com/ and DeepStrat (http://www.deepstrat.com/) shares his checklist for hiring the right person. When thinking about who to hire it is important to think about factors like their strengths and weaknesses, level of honesty, and references.
- Decide if you would want to have dinner with this person
- Assess their strengths & weaknesses
- Check references- 3 employers, 3 past team members & last fired position
- Figure out their level of honesty
- Determine their desired compensation & overall employment goals
Companies are not projects. They're teams. They deliver something so how the team works and team dynamics are critical to a success? So when I think about inserting someone into a particular team of innovation, I think are they conceptual, linear, adapting, or changing? What exactly are their innate strengths?
As result, now that I know that, are they actually going to work well within the construct of the team? When I want to have dinner with this person, it's the first thing on my checklist because if I don't, the team won't.
The second, I want to decide what they're great at. You've got only certain strengths and certain weaknesses and you don't put all the people with the same strengths and the same team of innovation.
I find outside references through LinkedIn and other tools. I don't want to talk to someone's golfing buddies to find out if they're great at work or not. I do ask a person, "Give me three people you worked for, three people that work for you and a reference to the last job you got fired from."
If they can't be honest about that, it's a little bit of a problem. Self promotion is okay, lying is not. It's the next on my checklist. I love – I had verbally driven individual. I love a guy with gusto and proud of his achievements but it's a very slippery slope between that and an outright lie. Liars will lie to your team and then ruin your organization. Stay away.
And the last is something that I've learned probably too recently. You can't get people for less than they think they're worth. What they make does not mean how they're committed to the company and I've learned this and skinned my knees a hundred times. Ask someone, "What do you want to do here? What do you want your job to be? What is it you want with your compensation? What percentage is base pay versus variable or performance compensation? And what are your personal goals?"
And if those things that they answer don't align with your vision of what you need, it's not a fit. Move on.
Knowing the person's resume and their professional fit is nothing to do with his success as part of your team but deeply beyond into how they fit into your ethos and groups to ensure that innovation is maximized and efficient.

Joint Release WASHINGTON ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
SEATTLE – Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna and Scott Jarvis, director of the state Department of Financial Institutions, announced that they have joined attorneys general and banking regulators nationwide in forming a multistate group to investigate whether mortgage servicers have improperly submitted affidavits or other documents related to foreclosure in their states.
McKenna said the Washington Attorney General's Office will serve on the executive committee of the multistate group, while simultaneously pursuing its own investigation that began in May. McKenna and Jarvis scheduled a press conference at 9:30 a.m. today in Seattle to reveal additional efforts to address foreclosure-related problems in Washington state. They'll be joined by representatives of the Washington State Housing Finance Commission.
Members of the multistate group include attorneys general of 50 states and mortgage regulators in 30 states. They issued a joint statement today through the National Association of Attorney General in which they voiced their shared concerns over reports that a number of mortgage loan servicers have submitted affidavits or signed other documents in support of foreclosures that appear to have procedural defects.
"It appears affidavits and other documents have been signed by persons who did not have personal knowledge of the facts asserted in the documents," the members wrote. "In addition, it appears that many affidavits were signed outside of the presence of a notary public, contrary to state law. This process of signing documents without confirming their accuracy has come to be known as 'robo-signing.' We believe such a process may constitute a deceptive act and/or an unfair practice or otherwise violate state laws."
"We live in a nation of laws," McKenna said. "Those laws apply to the rich – and in this case, the poor – alike. Unfortunately, people lose homes during an economic downturn. But they have the expectation that if they are subject to a foreclosure, it will be done legally. That's what this investigation is about."
"DFI's participation on this multi-state group is an example of our commitment to consumer protection focused in the mortgage industry," Jarvis said. "These allegations of 'robo-signing' are but one example of questionable actions that cause undue harm and hardship to homeowners desperately struggling to keep their homes. The creation of this multi-state committee is a step in the right direction to better protect consumers not just in our state, but throughout our country."
Jim Sugarman and David Huey, assistant attorneys general in the Consumer Protection Division, and Deborah Bortner, director of DFI's Division of Consumer Services, will represent Washington on the new multistate group.
The multistate group, through its executive committee, will contact a comprehensive list of individual mortgage servicers. The group's initial goals include:
The Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, a joint federal-state initiative co-chaired by McKenna, is also investigating certain aspects of these foreclosure problems.

Legacy Place in Dedham, Mass., features a full "Studio 3" restaurant and a broad range of refreshment options that include branded offerings from Starbucks to Nathan's Famous favorites. The premium Lux Level VIP bar and lounge extends its menu—about 65% has been changed since the last launch—at the push of an integrated call button. With Angus beef sliders an ongoing hit and full-sized hamburgers available for the first time, in-theatre dining and bar services are available to 180 patrons in four auditoria sections with custom-designed swivel tables that extend from the super-plush and private love seats.
No wonder the media release justifiably invited guests to be "pampered" and to "indulge themselves" in "an enhanced level of luxury and comfort." The 15-screen Legacy Place cinema complex anchors a 675,000-square-foot (62,700 sq. m.) lifestyle destination of the same name with some 75 stores and restaurants. All of the cinemas still have 35mm film installed and three are equipped with NEC DLP Cinema projectors, Dolby D-Cinema servers and RealD. Some 2,900 rockers fill capacities ranging from just under 100 to over 400 seats. (For more details, please refer to our "Legacy Leaders" sidebar.)
"This is really a love-fest," National Amusements' president Shari Redstone insisted in her welcome. "We really enjoyed working together," she said of the developers and municipal representatives. "Walking around Legacy Place earlier today, I was once again reminded that actions speak a lot louder than words. I could not be prouder than I am…to welcome you to what we believe will become the number-one lifestyle destination in New England and beyond." Redstone thanked all those "who have been working 24 hours a day for the past several weeks, so that we could open these doors to this beautiful theatre this evening. And it has been 24 hours, if not 38 and 42 per day."
All of you who have been reading Film Journal International, at a much more relaxed pace, had the opportunity to follow, first-hand and exclusively, the progression of the Cinema de Lux concept and ensuing brand. The Lux Level pilot debuted during the holiday 2007 season at Showcase Randolph, Mass. ( March 2008 edition). Eight months thereafter, Redstone and her team launched 14 de Lux screens and the neighboring, state-of-the-art "Showcase Live!" entertainment venue at Patriot Place in Foxborough, Mass. ( FJI October 2008).
"Years ago," Redstone details, "I embarked on a journey to reinvent the moviegoing experience in our theatres. I realized that while we could not control what appears on our screens, we could control the experience that our patrons had when they walked through our doors. I believed that if we did it right, while they might forget the movie—and we always hoped that they didn't—they would never forget lounging in a comfortable chair, drinking a Cookie Dough Martini or Pineapple Passion, perhaps, and snacking on their favorite foods. Fortunately, here at Legacy we not only have tenants which are determined to make their projects unique, but partners who share our vision and who understand that it is not just about what is on the screen or in the store, but about the experience of our guests and the memories that will bring them back."
And for her, the Place is full of memories too. "This is indeed a very special evening for me personally," Redstone revealed. "Not only because of what we have accomplished here at Legacy—it is truly a dream come true—but also because of the significance to my family, to National Amusements and the community of Dedham." In 1948, "long before I was born," she insists with a laugh, Shari's grandfather Michael Redstone "purchased much of the land that is now part of this project. It has been home to many of the Redstone family businesses, including Frosty's Ice Cream, one of our original drive-ins and numerous Showcase Cinemas."
A testament to the company founder's foresight and forté, this particular property—like so many others at National Amusements—also showcases, quite literally, the past 60 years of exhibition history.
Starting out as a drive-in in 1948, the first Showcase hardtop opened right by its side as a triplex on Nov. 21, 1973. It was in that same year that the Redstone family trademarked the term "multiplex." On Dec. 22, 1976, a fourth screen was added and—to the day, two years later—the official multiplexing age began in earnest, reaching its first culmination with theatre number eight on Nov. 14, 1979. By the time the Dedham drive-in closed down in 1982, additional screens were being deployed, with Redstone's first dozen completed on August 17, 1990.
Further highlights collected by The Boston Globe include 450 motorists receiving "emergency shelter at the cinema during the blizzard of '78," and the circuit making national headlines in 1990 when it relented to town pressure and did not showcase Henry & June, the first ever NC-17 title. Dedham's selectmen and women did not return any favors to NA after a federal judge upheld the town ordinance that forbade showing movies at midnight (Feb. 10, 1994). Good will and fortune changed, however, when the Dedham planning board gave partners WS Development and National Amusements the go-ahead to reshape the legacy of the place (August 31, 2007).

The MDG Acceleration Framework helps to accelerate progress at the country level on those MDGs currently seen as unlikely to be reached by 2015. It can be adapted to different country circumstances and complements existing government planning processes, while also improving the mobilization coordination of efforts and resources contributed by various partners. Countries can use this approach as one way to respond to the shared call to accelerate progress that was made at the MDG Summit in September 2010. The MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF) provides national stakeholders with a systematic approach to identify and analyze bottlenecks that are causing MDGs to veer off-track or to advance too slowly. It then aims to generate shared diagnostics and to recommend comprehensive, It also helps governments to focus on disparities and inequalities, two of the major causes of uneven progress, by particularly responding to the needs of the vulnerable. In the run up to the MDG Summit in September 2010, 10 countries (Belize, Colombia, Ghana, Jordan, Lao PDR, Papua New Guinea, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda) began to pilot the MDG Acceleration Framework with the support of the UN system. The pilot experience has shown that when governments take the lead and have effective assistance from all partners, progress is possible. |

What a weekend for our golfers! Thomas Aiken won the Avanta Masters for his second Euro win, he also become the second SA winner in consecutive years after Jbe Kruger won this event last year. Jbe himself failed to make the cut and thus continue his bad form since he won this tournament. But he is a talented and determent character and I believe it's only a matter of time before he flies high again. Back to Aiken: before his break through win almost two years ago, he was seen as an under achiever, someone who had a great amateur career but struggled with the enormous pressure in the professional game. He racked up a lot of top 10's and second places but always seems to stumble over the last hurdle….Now I believe the "ice is broken" and although he struggled the 1st year after he's 1st win, I actually called that he would win this year again (my money though was on one of the co-sanctioned Sunshine tour events).
On the US PGA Tour George Coetzee was doing the most with his sponsors invitation and was co-leading after the 3rd round, but unfortunately he faded away in the last round and finished T17 after a 74. I see both him and Brandon Grace recieved invites into this weekend's Arnold Palmer Invitational, so hopefully this will prepare them well for the upcoming Masters whereby both of them will be making their debuts.
On the Sunshine tour Jaco van Zyl won the Telkom PGA Championship (one of SA's majors), this is his second Sunshine Tour win of the seoson and he will be hoping this will lead to greater success in Europ later this year. This win also took Jaco to the top of the Investec Cup rankings and with the final event this weekend he will be 1st in line for some big cash payouts.
The world rankings: SA Players in top 200
1) L Oosthuizen 6
2) C Scwartzel 17
3) E Els 24
4) B Grace 29

10) T Aiken 90

12) G Mulroy 127
SA have 10 players in the top 100, which is a impresive stat…and only the USA have more players in the top 60 than us. This is excelent and the best part is…there is more SA guys coming!

KIEV, Ukraine - Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov says his country could stop importing Russian natural gas in years to come if Moscow does not lower the price.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that a price cut would be possible — if Ukraine doesn't sign up to a political association agreement with the European Union next month.
Suggesting that Ukraine will go ahead with the EU deal, Azarov said in an interview with RIA Novosti and Russian television Thursday that Ukraine will seek alternative energy resources and could stop purchasing Russian natural gas altogether over several years if the price isn't cut.
The signing of the EU deal hinges on the release of jailed former premier Yulia Tymoshenko, which Ukraine has so far resisted.

Odd Behavior
I've got an odd friend. Her name is Michelle and this past weekend we celebrated her 40th birthday. She's too nutty, carefree and spontaneous to plan something normal with her girlfriends for a milestone celebration like this one. As is fitting for Michelle, she chose unusual activities to mark her special day.
First we went out to a vegetarian restaurant. Yes, you heard me correctly. They don't serve meat.
Girl, I know. I was just as shocked as you are. I'm from Texas; born and raised. Our state song has something to do with big juicy steaks, I think. It's hard to imagine me in a place like that, isn't it? What's so interesting is that my friend is not a vegetarian. She was just drawn to the idea of trying someplace different and breaking out of the box a bit. Well, if you know me then you know that if there's one thing I don't have any problem eating - it's a tasty piece of meat, and yet this spot didn't have even one sliver to be ordered. From the moment we walked into this quaint cafe I'd passed a million times before, I knew it was different - just like my friend. And despite the hesitation of all 10 of us, every morsel of the meat-free entrees was delicious.
After dinner, we packed into our cars and headed to a roller skating rink. For two hours, we rolled around the rink with a bunch of teenagers from the local junior high schools. Grouped together for support, we clung to each other's hands, jackets; whatever we could to keep from meeting with that hard floor. For some reason, I'd felt like a fairly young woman until I saw those teenagers staring at us with pity, or was it just bewilderment, as they whizzed by on one foot.
Exhausted, we left the rink and drove across town to Michelle's house. We gathered our sleeping bags and slept on bean bags and the carpet in her living room - that is, after we talked and giggled until 2:45am.
2:45 AM. . . What in the world were we thinking?
The next morning, after we gathered our lazy bones off the floor, I made everyone homemade pancakes, eggs and, you guessed it, BACON. And I made enough to make up for the lack of meat we'd consumed the day before. Everyone thanked me profusely, and then we got dressed and headed out for a ride on a Segway. Maybe you've never heard of these things before, but possibly you've seen a cop roll passed on one and wondered why officers don't care to walk anymore like they did in the good ol' days. Well, now I know why. Who'd ever pass up the chance to have this much fun??
After a quick tutorial, we were on our way for a guided tour through downtown Dallas on our new little gadgets. For an hour or so, we wove our way in and out of streets, laughing and cutting up the whole way.
Odd behavior for women celebrating the forties, huh? And yet so much fun.
In fact, unforgettable.
I had to get home after that portion of the celebration but I heard that those who stayed did something that was similar to bungie jumping.
(Awww man, I should have stayed!)
It was a zany and weird weekend that brought a little spark of unusual fun into our otherwise routine existences. I love Michelle and her desire to live life to the hilt - even if it means being a bit odd. We're all the better for it. There's nothing like an odd friend and some odd activities to put a skip in your step and smile on your face - especially after you've had some bacon for breakfast!
So, have you done anything odd lately? Tell me about it.

New NIH Study to Look at House-to-House HIV Testing, Other Measures, to Reduce HIV Burden in Africa
A study in South Africa and Zambia is assessing whether house-to-house voluntary HIV testing and prompt treatment of HIV infection, along with other proven HIV prevention measures, can substantially reduce the number of new HIV infections across communities. The trial is funded primarily by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), administered by the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator. "Through this new study, we aim to learn whether the treatment of HIV-infected individuals as a form of HIV prevention, an approach previously tested in roughly 1,800 heterosexual couples where one partner was infected, will be just as effective when implemented across an entire adult population," said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MD. "The study also will tell us whether this method of delivering population-wide HIV treatment as prevention is feasible and cost-effective." The trial is being conducted in South Africa and Zambia because the HIV prevalence in those countries is among the highest in the world. An estimated 12.5 percent of adults in Zambia and 17.3 percent of adults in South Africa are infected. The study team will measure the impact of the two HIV prevention packages by determining the number of new HIV infections among a representative sample of 52,500 adults drawn from the 21 study communities and followed for three years. The study is expected to end in 2019. Read more on AIDS.
Study: Better Awareness Likely Reason for Increase in ER Visits for Youth Concussions
Improved awareness of the signs and symptoms of traumatic brain injuries (TMI)—such as concussions—is likely the cause of a noticeable increase in TMI-related emergency department visits by children, according to a new study from doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The study appeared in the journal pediatrics. Visits for these types of injuries climbed about 92 percent from 2002 to 2011, while the overall severity of the injuries decreased and the hospitalization rate remained at around 10 percent. "We are doing a better job at educating ourselves and educating the public about concussion," said Dr. Holly Hanson, lead study author and an emergency medicine fellow. "People and doctors are recognizing sports-related concussions more. People are recognizing the signs and symptoms. People are more aware of the complications. So people are coming in more." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevent, each year TMI accounts for about 630,000 emergency department visits, 67,000 hospitalizations and 6,100 deaths in children and teens annually.

HHS Developing New Burn Treatments to Improve Disaster Response, Daily Care
Through its Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HUD) is working to develop five new types of burn treatments for disaster response and daily emergency medical care. The thermal burn medical countermeasures—which could take the form of drugs, vaccines or medical products—will be for chemical, radiological or nuclear incidents. Developing new measures is critical, because with only 127 burn centers in the country, a mass casualty event could quickly overwhelm the public health response. "Sustainability of these medical countermeasures for thermal burns is critical for their availability when they are needed most," said BARDA Director Robin Robinson, PhD. "Our repurposing and multi-purpose strategy facilitates development, ensures availability, and reduces overall costs for thermal burn medical countermeasures." Read more on disasters.

UN: Improved Access to HIV/AIDS Treatment Reduces Number of AIDS-related Deaths
The United Nations' annual report on HIV infections and AIDS related-deaths around the world concluded that increased access to treatment in poorer and middle-income countries has led to positive health outcomes. "AIDS-related deaths in 2012 fell to 1.6 million, down from 1.7 million in 2011 and a peak of 2.3 million in 2005. And the number of people newly infected with the disease dropped to 2.3 million in 2012 down from 2.5 million in 2011." The executive director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé, said that the international community is well on its way to surpass the 2015 goals of expanding access to treatment. Read more on the public health impact of AIDS.
Racism Leads to Negative Effects on Mental Health of Children and Teens
A new report published in the journal Social Science & Medicine examines the link between the mental health and well-being of youth ages 12-18 and racism. The review shows that being a victim of racial discrimination can lead to low self-esteem, reduced resilience, and increased behavior problems. There was also evidence of increased risk of poorer birth outcomes for children when mother experienced racism while pregnant. These types of detriments to children and teen's mental health and well-being can lead to larger problems in terms of engagement in education and employment later in life, according to study authors. Read more on health disparities.
Positive Relationships May Help Break the Cycle of Maltreatment
In a special supplement released by the Journal of Adolescent Health, investigations on the effects of safe, stable, nurturing relationships found that these types of relationships could help break the cycle of child maltreatment that is often passed along from parents to children. Findings also showed that supportive and nurturing relationships between adults can help protect children as well. This study can provide helpful prevention strategies for breaking the cycle of maltreatment and promoting improved health in the long term. Read more on violence prevention.
Thinking Globally: A Q&A with Kathy Calvin of the UN Foundation
The United Nations Foundation believes that, for the biggest public health obstacles facing the world, it will take all nations and all sectors working toward solutions to succeed. So the Foundation works to make that a reality, bringing together partnerships, growing constituencies, mobilizing resources and advocating policies that can help everyone—in both the developing and developed world.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Kathy Calvin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the United Nations Foundation, about the organization's many efforts to improve health both globally and locally—and how these two goals can support each other.
NewPublicHealth: What changes have you seen in global health during your time in the field?
Kathy Calvin: The number of nonprofits dedicated to health issues has quadrupled it seems, and real progress has been made, which is the most important point—that we're actually seeing a reduction in maternal deaths and newborn deaths and preventable diseases such as measles and diarrhea and pneumonia. I mean, there's just been enormous progress, with still much more to happen. But it's been an exciting time after what I think has been a pretty discouraging period where no amounts of foreign aid seemed to be making a difference. I attribute that partly to some innovations in research and financing, but also to the fact that a lot of governments in Africa actually have prioritized women and prioritized health in some pretty significant ways. And I think we've had a very enlightened government in the last five years here, too, in terms of what we're doing overseas.
So, it's been exciting to see it. Health is not my background. I've really been privileged to see both how serious and significant the challenges are, but also how much good can be done with just a little bit of organized effort.
NPH: When you talk about enlightened government, what are some examples? What is making the difference now?
Calvin: Well ironically it isn't all that political. In fact, some of the biggest shifts took place under President George W. Bush's administration with his creation of the President's Malaria Initiative—until then, there had been zero real depth of interest and progress on malaria—as well as PEPFAR, which some people criticized because it was so bilateral, but it had a huge impact in allowing the current administration to really set some ambitious goals for reducing and eliminating parent-to-child transmission and setting that audacious goal of an AIDS-free generation.

Mammography Rates Remained Steady After Change in Guidelines
The proportion of women undergoing screening for breast cancer every year did not change after U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released recommendations saying there wasn't enough evidence to support routine mammograms for women in their 40s, according to a new study published in the journal Cancer. In 2009, the Task Force changed their recommendations to state that women aged 50 to 74 should have a mammogram every other year, and screenings for women under age 50 should be evaluated by each woman with her doctor, according to individual risk factors. "When there are conflicting versions of guidelines, providers may err on the side of screening," said David Howard, a health policy researcher from Emory University in Atlanta, in an interview with Reuters.

Latest HIV Vaccine Study Halted
The National Institutes of Health halted a study testing an experimental HIV vaccine after an independent review board found the vaccine did not prevent HIV infection and did not reduce the amount of HIV in the blood. The trial, started in 2009, is the latest in a series of failed HIV vaccine trials, according to Reuters. The halted study included more than 2,500 volunteers in 19 U.S. cities. Study populations included men who have sex with men and transgender people who have sex with men. Read more on HIV.
CDC's Food Safety Report Card: Some Foodborne Illnesses Spiked in 2012
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released the "nation's annual food safety report card," and it shows that 2012 rates of infections from two types of foodborne bacteria—campylobacter and Vibrio—have increased significantly when compared to a baseline period of 2006-2008, while rates of most others have not changed during the same period. The data are part of the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network report. Campylobacter infections have been linked to tranmission in many foods, including poultry, raw milk and produce. These infections were at their highest level since 2000, up 14 percent since 2006-2008. Vibrio infections, often associated with raw shellfish, were up 43 percent.
"The U.S. food supply remains one of the safest in the world," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH. "However, some foodborne diseases continue to pose a challenge. We have the ability, through investments in emerging technologies, to identify outbreaks even more quickly and implement interventions even faster to protect people from the dangers posed by contaminated food."

Kaiser Family Foundation Report Highlights U.S. Engagement in Global Health: A NewPublicHealth Q&A with Josh Michaud
The increasing globalization of the world circles back to health as well. That's a key tenet in a new report, The U.S. Government Engagement in Global Health: A Primer, from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report describes the U.S. agencies and programs involved in global health and the federal budget supporting these efforts. Following the release of the primer, NewPublicHealth spoke with Josh Michaud, a Principal Policy Analyst at the Kaiser Family Foundation focused on the U.S. government's role in global health.
NewPublicHealth: Why did the Kaiser Family Foundation create the global health primer?
Josh Michaud: The Kaiser Family Foundation has produced primers for other health issues on which we work, including Medicare and Medicaid. We felt that global health was an area in which we've built up some good data and analysis and we wanted to put it together in a format accessible to as wide an audience as possible. There has also been a growing interest at universities among young people in global issues, in particular global health issues.
Another critical reason to produce the primer is to set out a baseline for discussions, whether it is for different sides of a policy debate, student's writing papers or people just getting started in the field. We don't come at this with a particular recommendation, it really is meant to be a portrait of all the different parts of the U.S. government that are involved in global health. In the final section of the primer, we pulled together some policy issues that are of particular importance right now.
NPH: What trends or changes does the report note?
Michaud: The major trends have been increased levels of funding and an engagement by many different parts of the U.S. government in global health. The budget has increased significantly. In fiscal year 2001 the global health budget was about $1.5 billion. In fiscal year 2012 it was $8.8 billion. And while the United States is the most important and largest donor to global health, contributions from other governments have also grown significantly.
Much of the increased funding has been driven by increases for HIV/AIDS programs worldwide, and in particular, the PEPFAR program that the United States funds, as well as U.S. funding in support of Malaria. Earlier in the decade, there were significant increases year by year. That's now leveled off and we don't know what will happen in the future.
Public Health News Roundup: March 4
Eleven Public Health Departments First to Achieve National Accreditation Status
The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) has awarded 5-year accreditation to eleven public health departments. The national program, which is jointly supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aims to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing the quality and performance of the nation's state, tribal, local and territorial public health departments. The newly accredited agencies are the first of hundreds currently preparing to seek national accreditation through PHAB, an independent organization that administers the national accreditation program. "With accreditation, we now have national standards that promote continuous quality improvement for public health and a mechanism for recognizing high performing public health departments," said PHAB President and CEO Kaye Bender, PhD, RN, FAAN. "These are the first of many health departments that we look forward to being able to recognize for achieving national standards that foster efficiency and effectiveness, and promote continuous quality improvement."Read more on accreditation.
Report: HIV Cured in Baby
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center will report today that a baby in rural Mississippi has been cured of HIV through aggressive use of anti-retroviral drugs following birth. The finding will be presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta. The findings have not been yet been published in a peer review journal and the researchers say the findings may not apply to adults. Read more on HIV/AIDS.
Public Health and Sequestration
Several public health organizations has issued statements on the potential impact of sequestration, across the board budget cuts to the federal budget, including the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers (ASTHO), the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). Read more on budgets.
I'm Positive—World AIDS Day Documentary
On World AIDS Day, Saturday, December 1, I'm Positive, a new documentary produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV, will introduce three young adults living with HIV. The documentary is part of a project called GYT: Get Yourself Tested, a campaign to encourage testing for STDs, including HIV. GYT is a sexual health public information partnership between the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV.
NewPublicHealth spoke with cast member Otis Harris, who is an HIV/AIDS peer advocate who lives in Chicago.
NewPublicHealth: How old are you and how old were you when you found out that you were HIV positive?
Otis Harris Jr.: I am 25 years old and I was 22 [when I found out I was HIV positive].
NPH: What do you wish you had known then that you know now?
Otis Harris Jr.: I wish that I could have been a little more educated about the virus and what to look for and how to protect myself. And if I would have known what I know now then I probably wouldn't have been infected.
NPH: People have been working on HIV/AIDS education efforts for so many years now, but clearly they weren't getting through. What are the ways in which they didn't communicate well and how can they communicate better?
Girls, with Cameras and Computers, on the Road to a Better Life
>>EDITOR'S NOTE: On 9/13/2012 CeaseFire changed its name to Cure Violence.
Mandisa Madikane, a 20-year old, HIV-positive, newly minted journalist from Soweto, South Africa, was the star at a high-wattage Washington D.C. event Wednesday night hosted by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief in conjunction with the 2012 AIDS International Conference meeting this week. Her co-panelists, who spoke about empowering women to protect them from rape, poverty, discrimination and humiliation included Tom Frieden, MD, director of the Centers for Disease Control; Rajiv Shah, Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development; and Melanne Verveer, U.S. Ambassador at Large for Global Women's Issues. Discussion was helped by a video, "Mandisa's Story," aired at the event. Directed by the young journalist, it tells the story of her rape by a neighbor at age six, which is how Mandisa contracted HIV.
Mandisa is one of three HIV-positive young women from South Africa covering the AIDS conference who received their journalism training through GlobalGirl Media (GGM), a non-profit that teaches teenage girls from disadvantaged communities around the world, including the U.S., to become citizen-journalists. Launched in 2010 by a group of women broadcasters and journalists, GGM teaches girls to use print, video and electronic media to tell their stories in order to build their self-esteem and champion the role of girls throughout the world. The project currently has bureaus in South Africa, Morocco, Los Angeles and one opened just this month in Chicago. "The girls who train with GGM are a family, and we all have important stories to tell," said Evelyn Mokele, one of the South Africa journalists in Washington this week. "When I found out I was HIV positive, I almost gave up on everything. But instead of letting my status be a death-sentence, I used it as a tool to find my voice."
Public Health News Roundup: July 25
NIH Will Test Vaginal Ring for HIV Prevention in Women
U.S. researchers announced at the 2012 International AIDS Conference yesterday that they will begin a multinational clinical trial this month to test the effectiveness and extended safety of a vaginal ring containing an experimental antiretroviral drug to prevent HIV infection in women. Results are expected in early 2015.
"Developing scientifically proven forms of HIV prevention that women can control is essential," said Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "Because the vaginal ring is a long-acting intervention, it has a potential added benefit in that women may find it relatively easy to use."
Most women who acquire HIV do so through unprotected sex, according to the National Institutes of Health. Because many women cannot negotiate male condom use with their sexual partners, women need forms of HIV prevention that they can use independently and regularly. The clinical trial will be conducted in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Read more on AIDS.
Ground Beef, Strollers Recalled
Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling 29,339 pounds of fresh ground beef products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis, according to the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Although the "use by date" has passed, the USDA is concerned that consumers may have packages of the meat, which is stamped EST. 9400, in their freezers. So far, 33 people in seven states have become ill. The states are Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia and Vermont.
Baby stroller firm Peg-Perego is recalling more than 200,000 strollers sold between 2004 and 2007 because of a baby death caused by a Peg-Perego stroller eight years ago. A baby's head and neck can become trapped between the stroller tray and the seat bottom. Read more on food safety.
Study: Tanning Beds Vastly Increase Skin Cancer Risk in Young People
Using a tanning bed increases the risk of skin cancer by 20 percent, according to a new study in the British Medical Journal. However, starting to use tanning beds before age 35 can raise that risk by 87 percent, according to the study. The results are based on an analysis of 27 studies published between 1981 and 2012 that looked at 11,000 cases of skin cancer. Read more on cancer.
HIV/AIDS in Washington, D.C.
The choice of Washington, D.C. as the site of the 2012 International AIDS Conference is an important one – about 3 percent of the adult and teen residents of the city are HIV positive. That exceeds the definition of an AIDS epidemic by UNAIDS – 1 percent of a population.
A new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation says that, "In many ways, the D.C. epidemic is a microcosm for what is happening nationally": D.C. is a small, densely populated community with overlapping sexual networks that can fuel transmission, and also faces significant health care access challenges, poverty, drug use, high rates of other sexually transmitted infections, stigma and lack of knowledge about HIV status.
Blacks in D.C. have the highest HIV prevalence rates per 100,000 adults and adolescents (4,264.6)—more than twice the rate among Latinos (1,836.4) and three times the rate among whites (1,226.3). One difference is that in D.C., there is a higher prevalence of HIV among Black women (2.6%) compared with white men (2.4%).
Importantly, though, the report finds gains in HIV awareness and testing in the city. Over 100,000 HIV tests were done in DC last year, triple the number in 2007. And, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, D.C. was the first jurisdiction to adopt CDC recommendations for routine HIV testing in health care settings and actively works with providers to expand testing. More than four in 10 D.C. residents, ages 18-64, report being tested for HIV within the past year, the highest share of any state.
>>Bonus Link: The Washington Post has been live blogging the AIDS conference this week and the site also has some notable features including an important story on the stigma of AIDS in the South and obstacles in the U.S. to successful treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Wireless Network Access is Coming to CCRI
The Department of Information Technology is pleased to announce our plan for deployment of wireless network access on all four CCRI campuses. Our wireless project is supported by funding from the CCRI Foundation and Governor Carcieri's math and science initiatives.
Starting in the Fall 2007 semester, wireless network access will be available in key areas of the Newport and Warwick campuses. This service will allow members of the college community to access CCRI services, like Pipeline, as well as resources on the internet from portable computers with wireless network cards. Initial coverage areas will include public spaces like the atrium and great hall, classrooms, the libraries, shared meeting rooms and key office areas. Wireless access for the Providence and Lincoln campuses is planned for the Fall 2008 semester.
Additional information about wireless access will be provided on the Information Technology web page under Wireless Computing Initiative.

Much of Hinsdale Power-less Again
Updated at 11:00 a.m.
Power is out for approximately two-thirds of the Hinsdale community according to Hinsdale Police Chief Brad Bloom after a quick but powerful storm hit Monday morning.
"Because the storm was so widespread, we've been advised [by ComEd] that it's going to be a multi-day response," Bloom said.
ComEd confirmed the multi-day response time. The utility's media relations office said 378 crews are out working to restore power for 660,000 customers in the Chicago area are without electricity Monday morning. Approximately 156,000 of those customers are in the west region.
In the north suburbs, there are 298,000 affected customers and 90,000 in the south. According to ComEd the utility has requested support from surrounding states.
According to a Chicago Tribune story Monday morning, storms that passed through the Chicago area contained wind gusts that reached 75 mph.
Bloom said he was told the storm front was 30 miles wide. He's not aware of any significant property damage or of any injuries as a result of the storm.
Bloom said felled trees are blocking a lot of Hinsdale's roads. The chief said there are many damaged trees, but not as many as the June 21 storm.
In Clarendon Hills, Fire Chief Brian Leahy said outages in that village are mostly on the north side of town. Leahy guessed that about 1,500 Clarendon Hills customers were without power.
There are a lot of tree and wire problems in Clarendon Hills, though, according to Leahy. "About two dozen" reports of such problems have been made and the village's public works department is working with private contractors to clear approximately 20 roads closed due to felled trees.
Acting Clarendon Hills Police Chief Ted Jenkins said the traffic lights along Chicago Avenue are out.
All-in-all, however, Leahy said the effects of Monday's storm are much less problematic than those of the June 21 storm.
"This wasn't as bad," Leahy said. "Nothing like that."
According to Hinsdale's Bloom, the village will have a better idea of how long power-line repairs will take later Monday morning.

Azalea, considered to be evergreen or semi-evergreen, grow two sets of leaves. Their spring leaves are thinner, larger, and grow along the stems. In the fall these leaves will be discarded. Summer leaves of this shrub are thicker, smaller, and are clustered near the branch ends. These leaves remain through winter, and depending on the variety, persist for several years.
Good drainage is important since they dislike wet feet. Blooms on old wood, so prune to shape immediately after flowering. Fertilize in early spring. Pine needle mulch is beneficial.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. Learn More

BigRedKitty: Armor penetration stinks {WoW}
Dec 29th 2008 12:26PM After 80 comments I doubt anyone is really still reading these, but I really want to say I disagree that armor penetration is crap. I liked what it was at 70 and at 80 its different but still seems cool and i think it definitely can be better than crit.
15.38 armor pen rating = 1% armor ignore
45.91 crit rating = 1% crit
so in same amounts of rating, any X% crit = about 3X% armor ignore
the sunder debuffed boss has 9075 armor, with 10% armor ignore it has 8167.5 armor
9075 armor = 37.33% physical damage reduction, so your physical damage is cut to 62.67%
8167.5 armor = 34.90%, physical damage is cut to 65.1%
62.67% to 65.1 is a 3.88% ((65.1-62.67)/62.67 x 100%) increase in physical damage, for the same amount of rating as 3.33% crit, and IF 1% crit = 1% more damage in the long run, then the armor pen is 16.5% ((3.88-3.33)/3.33 x 100%) MORE effective in this case, which is very possible as its 160ish rating for both, and in pvp this armor amount is a bit higher than a hunter. BUT *disclaimer* armor penetration effects only physical damage, and crit could also proc other things to increase dps.
However since it's a bit sweeter to remove the last part of an enemies armor than the first part, if you continue to pile on armor pen to ignore 50% armor (4537.5 armor, 22.95% physical damage reduc), which is maybe doable with trinket procs and gems, you get 22.95% ((77.05-62.67)/62.67 x 100%) more physical damage, which is 37.76% more effective than the corresponding 16.66% crit, again if 1% crit was equal to 1% more physical damage.
Another point is that stats work together. For example if you had 20% crit, then lets say your damage would be 120% (100% = your damage without crits + 20% if crits are 1% straight more damage). If you add 3.33% crit, then your damage is 123.33%, which is actually a 2.78% ((123.33-120)/120 x 100%) increase over where you were at, whereas if all your damage was physical, 10% armor penetration, as shown above, would multiply with, instead of just add to, your 120% damage for a 3.88% damage increase, 39.57% ((3.88-2.78)/2.78) x 100%, OMG) more effective than the crit assuming everything i assumed to crit before to make these calculations simpler, and at this point and if you pile on armor pen even further, armor pen should definitely outweigh the fact that it probably doesn't affect as many things or increase uptime of talents and abilities like crit.
So basically armor penetration seems pretty good now, which i even just convinced myself after typing all this, and should scale better than other stats in high amounts and when the enemy has high armor (or admittedly less effective against low armor targets). Even though its new, I think its not trash, and therefore should not gtfo off physical damage gear like haste should.

Measuring cartridge lengths across the bullets tips is not as reliable method for measuring your loaded rounds. It's common for variations of up to .025" to exist from one round to the next. Hornady's bullet comparator solves that problem by measuring rounds from a reliable surface on the bullet, the ogive, precise measurements of your rounds. Hornady's Bullet Comparator attaches to the blade of your caliper with a thumbscrew and uses interchangeable insert bushings to measure from the bullet ogive. These bushings are available in fourteen sizes from .17 caliber to .45 caliber.
• 6 Comparator inserts for the following diameter bullets: 224, 243, 257, 277, 284 and 308. Other inserts sold separately.

If you're in a fun, frisky and foxy kind of mood, a fox tail butt plug might be just what you need. Slender enough for a beginner, yet full enough to satisfy a butt plug connoisseur, the beautiful and bushy foxtail is a wonderful added bonus guaranteed to bring a sense of fun and play to your love life.
When my boyfriend first brought me home the gift of a butt plug with a tail on it, I admit I told him he was crazy if he thought I would ever wear that thing.
He smiled and told me that he just thought I should have one, since I was his foxy chick. I made some comment about how corny he was and put that toy away in my "forget about it" drawer.
But I couldn't forget about it. I kept wondering how it would feel to wear it and feel all that softness hanging against my skin. The more I thought about it, the more it turned me on until finally, I had to give it a try.
Award Winning Fetish Plugs At a Lowest Price online here!
I surprised my man in bed one night. I took a little time to get ready, worked the tail into place, and waited for him, feeling more excited than ever. Without going into details, I will just say that he was very pleased! I was too. I had no idea how much that tail would bring out the raw sexual animal in me while bringing out the imagination in us both. Even when not in, the fox tail butt plug is a lot of fun. The soft furry feel of it is quite wonderful against sensitive skin, especially when blindfolded. I admit that I thought he'd lost his mind at first, but it turns out he knew what he was doing. He hit this gift right out of the park!
