Sprouting brings a dormant seed to life. The germination process can multiply the nutritional value of nutrients by 300 to 1,200 percent. (Source: www.livestrong.com)
Sunflower Sprouts
Pea Shoots
Buckwheat Sprouts
Wheatgrass (Source: www.hippocratesinst.org)
- Richest source of chlorophyll, which has a remarkable similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood.
- Increases red blood cells count and lowers blood pressure.
- Cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris.
- Stimulates metabolism and the body's enzyme systems by enriching the blood.
- Stimulates the thyroid gland, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints.
- The juice's abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over-acidity in the blood.
- A powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector.
- The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.
- Recent studies show that wheatgrass juice has a powerful ability to fight tumors without the usual toxicity of drugs that also inhibit cell-destroying agents.
- Has remarkable similarity to our own blood.
- In the case of illness, wheatgrass implants stimulate a rapid cleansing of the lower bowel and draw out accumulations of debris.
- Externally applied to the skin, can help eliminate itching almost immediately.
- Will soothe sunburned skin and act as a disinfectant.
- Rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it will help repair damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly, scalp conditions.
- Soothing and healing for cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete's foot, insect bites, boils, sores, open ulcers and tumors. Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.
- Works as a sleep aide. A tray of living wheatgrass placed at near the head of your bed will increase oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly.
- Enhances your bath. Add some to your bath water and settle in for a nice, long soak.
- Sweetens the breath and firms up and tightens gums. Gargle with the juice.
- Neutralizes toxic substances like cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury, and polyvinyl chloride.
- Offers the benefits of a liquid oxygen transfusion since the juice contains liquid oxygen. Oxygen is vital to many body processes: it stimulates digestion (the oxidation of food), promotes clearer thinking (the brain utilizes 25% of the body's oxygen supply), and protects the blood against anaerobic bacteria. Cancer cells cannot exist in the presence of oxygen.
- Help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing down the aging process
- One enzyme found in wheatgrass, SOD, lessens the effects of radiation and acts as an anti-inflammatory compound that may prevent cellular damage.
- Restores fertility and promotes youthfulness.
- Can double your red blood cell count just by soaking in it. Renowned nutritionist Dr. Bernard Jensen found that no other blood builders are superior to green juices and wheatgrass. In his book Health Magic Through Chlorophyll from Living Plant Life he mentions several cases where he was able to double the red blood cell count in a matter of days merely by having patients soak in a chlorophyll-water bath. Blood building results occur even more rapidly when patients drink green juices and wheatgrass regularly.
Sunflower Sprouts (Source: www.natralnews.com)
- Have such an affinity for the life giving force that they twist on their stems so their faces can bask in sunlight all through the day.
- Photons from the sun are stored in the DNA of the sunflower, making its seed resonate with the photons in human cells.
- Key nutrients in sunflower seeds raise serotonin levels and boost nerve function naturally.
- High levels of magnesium help regulate nerve function.
- Substantial content of the amino acid tryptophan enhances serotonin production and thus improves mood.
- Good source of vitamin B6 also necessary to fuel the body's normal depression-fighting chemical reactions.
- Rich in vitamin E, the primary fat-soluble antioxidant in the human body. It protects against inflammation, making it a potent fighter of arthritis, cancer and diabetes.
- One-quarter cup of sunflower seeds contains over 90% of the daily value of vitamin E.
- Loaded with potassium
- One-quarter cup of sunflower seeds contains more than 30% of the daily value for selenium in a form with much greater bioavailability than can be obtained from selenium supplements.
- Rich source of selenium, magnesium, and manganese.
- Act as a natural pH buffer because of their high mineral content.
Pea Shoots (Source: www.livestrong.com)
- Young leaves of the pea plant, harvested as microgreens at just a few weeks of growth.
- Taste like peas and are excellent in salads, sandwiches and juiced.
- Great source of three cancer fighting agents: foliate, antioxidants and carotene. Foliate helps produce and maintain cells and protects against DNA damage. Antioxidants help the body fight free radical damage, commonly associated with high cancer risk. Carotenes help inhibit antioxidant activity and are commonly associated with increased cancer prevention.
- One cup of pea shoots provides about 35% the daily value of vitamin C and 15% the DV of vitamin A. In comparison, this is seven times as much vitamin C as blueberries and four times as much vitamin A as tomatoes.
- Excellent source of vitamin K, providing 66% the DV from a one cup serving.
Buckwheat Sprouts (Source: www.natralnews.com)
- Buckwheat becomes packed with live enzymes and vital nutrients when sprouted.
- Tastes like a grain but is actually gluten and wheat free and not a grain at all.
- One of the most complete sources of protein on the planet, containing all eight essential amino acids.
- Lowers high blood pressure.
- Cleanses the colon and alkalizes the body.
- Wonderful super food for people who have varicose veins or hardening of the arteries.
- Full of rutin, a compound that is known as a powerful capillary wall strengthener.
- Rich in lecithin, making it a wonderful cholesterol balancer because lecithin soaks up "bad" cholesterol and prevents it from being absorbed.
- Brain boosting super food. 28% of the brain is actually made up of lecithin. Research suggests that regularly consuming foods rich in lecithin may actually prevent anxiety, depression, brain fog, mental fatigue and generally make the brain sharper and clearer.
- High in iron so it is a good blood builder.
- Prevents osteoporosis because of its high boron and calcium levels.
- High in bioflavonoids, flavonols and co-enzyme Q10. It contains all of the B vitamins, magnesium, manganese, and selenium, as well as many other health giving compounds.

If you saw the commercial for Sarah Palin's "Amazing America" last week like I did and thought it couldn't get any better, Madison Rising just proved yo ass wrong. This patriotic jam is 10 times as American as John Ashcroft's "Let The Eagle Soar" and 50 times more American than the Star Spangled Banner. When's the last time you even saw a rampart? Those songs are lame — this shit knocks.
It represents everything America is about: guitar slide rings, passion, leather vests, talkin' about how awesome America is, firing heavy rounds into bullet-proof glass, The Running of the Bulls, dogsled races, wrestling, talkin' about guts and glory, and rockin' the fuck out.
You can keep all the news shows and politics shows and informative documentaries to yourself — that ain't America. America is about goatees and being free and staying "Red, Wild, and Blue". Sarah Palin gets it, Madison Rising gets it, and hopefully you do too.

And he's apologizing because….?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced that he will make an official apology on behalf of the government for the horrific abuse suffered by victims of Canada's residential school system over the past 100 years.
Harper will make the apology in the House of Commons on June 11th.
While it is good to see the government showing some sort of accountability to the extreme genocide they have inflicted on Aboriginal peoples, I have to wonder if Harper even really knows what he's apologizing for.
Because his government has so far:
-Refused to sign the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, making Canada an international human rights laughing stock
-Cut the Status of Women which included major funding losses for the Sisters in Spirit Initiative that advocated for victims of violence at the Native Women's Association of Canada, which was their largest contribution agreement
-Thrown out the Kelowna Accord, which, say what you will about it, was the first time the government actually asked Aboriginal people to be at the same table and collectively make decisions for our own people
-Has not done anything to help our people protect our own land and silently watched our leaders be thrown in jail, from the KI6 in Northern Ontario to Mohawk territory to the tar sands in Alberta, etc. More than 20% of inmates in Canada are Aboriginal, while we only make up roughly 3% of the population.
And the list goes on……..
90% of Aboriginal people today are affected by the residential school system on some level, the last of these schools closing in Saskatchewan in 1996.
So is an apology in order? Absolutely. Does the Conservative government really know what they are doing? I think not.
For starters, it's going to take much more than an apology.
Fort Resolution residential school, North West Territories

I am mainly a Firefox user, but I dab in other browsers like Chrome, IE, and Opera. My experience with IE always ends up being horrid, with IE freezing at least once, if not many more times. Ironcilly often times it freezes while trying to load MSN.com (if try to navigate to another site or use an IE feature from the menus before allowing MSN to fully load). I really can't understand how people manage to use IE; I try to give IE a fair chance – ignoring all the bias against it – but it really drags its own face in the mud…
August 21, 2009
Hey Ashraf!
Well, since I sometimes (OK…often) am 1 of the few here who has this on my OS….or uses THAT still (i.e. Hotmail)….or has such limited tech know-how skills ….etc. it should come as no surprise that…I use IE8.
Ironically…I've rarely had freezes or other probs with IE (unless I click on something & think it's not loading…& click on again…& when hitting escape or other desperate measures don't work), while my last FF (say 4 years ago) experience caused my 1st (used) computer I owned many issues—but can't say what part of my then even-more-naive-than-now knowledge of what to do to fix anything was the REAL cause—way before I knew of forums (yes–long ago…. there were no dotTechs for me to ask benign/stupid/silly questions to!)
I was just thinking about the big switch…but waiting until the issues are straitened out (like from the ongoing FF 3.6.8 forum topic here).
BTW: (1 final benign/stupid/silly, etc. question) Like…. there is a way to have multiple OS systems (long ways away for me)….so, … can you have more than 1 browser? I guess the only reason would be to have the strengths of each to use when needed.
March 19, 2010
June 16, 2010
As a firefox and opera user, I also do not understand.
Firefox has the customability that IE failed with and Opera has the speed to kill IE 8 in any rendering race. A lot of people are complacent and do not like change, and since IE has been around forever while being bundled with every Windows OS it is not surprising that IE still has a market share of more than 60%.
To be fair, IE 9 looks like it'll be good, at least in the previews (however they are probably showing off the best features).
August 21, 2009
You can "test drive" the latest version "preview platform" of IE9 (beta) here:

Also, from zdnet.com:
"….Microsoft is readying a beta of its Internet Explorer (IE) 9 browser that it will roll out in September, according to Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner…"

Abramowitz expressed astonishment that Israel, with its reliable year-around access to sunlight in the Negev and elsewhere, had only committed itself to obtaining 10% of its energy from renewable sources, like solar and wind power, by 2020. He called that target "really, incredibly, embarrassingly modest" and voiced dismay that the government has not been eager to allow more solar projects in the country.
Vinegar said he was not opposed to developing Israel's solar potential – and would welcome a tax on fossil fuels to fund research and development of renewable energy sources. "We believe renewables and fossil fuels can coexist and help each other," he said.
Abramowtiz wants Israel to show the way for other nations to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. He specifically called on the Jewish state to use natural gas to produce electricity instead of the much more polluting coal and diesel on which it now significantly relies. He also wants Israel to start using electric cars and to invest in better electric storage capability to allow solar plants to store electricity for use overnight.
The timeliness of the two advocates' debate was underlined by an event taking place outside the conference at Walter E. Washington Convention Center, even as they spoke. At a protest outside the White House, just a few blocks away, hundreds of college students from around the country called on President Obama to reject the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport tar sands oil from Alberta to refineries in the Gulf Coast. Like Vinegar's shale oil, tar sands oil is difficult to extract and produces more greenhouse gases than regular oil.
The protest ended with 398 students arrested in an act of civil disobedience.
The event was the brainchild of Michael Greenberg, a Jewish sophomore at Columbia University, who is heavily involved in the Columbia Hillel and the Columbia chapter of J Street, a progressive Israel advocacy group.
"The Keystone decision symbolizes the choice between finding progressively worse forms of energy, or making the transition to safer and more just ways of powering our society," Greenberg said. "President Obama has been waffling on his commitment to future generations and putting our bodies on the line could be our most powerful tool for holding him accountable."

@ceilingcat - Yes, divinely ordained rulers does seem like a pretty silly idea now. But then again, I'm an American, so I'm pretty attached to democracy.
When I was reading this article I was reminded of the book Game of Thrones and the television series that was based upon it. In the story, a King is killed "by accident" on a hunting expedition. Of course, it later turns out to not have been an accident at all, but it ends up being quite hard to prove. It seems the author of the book to a cue from actual history!

skachat besplatnie filmi 2012The Past of the Great Takuri and his GiftJanuary Thirty. 2012
This is my 1st Journal entry. Why do people write a journal? Probably coz they're lonely. But I, the great Takuri, or at least that's what I'm calling myself those days, am at no time lonely. No I'm writing this journal so that other people can watch, can read what great things I've done and where I've erred. It feels like I'm writing the truth. Christmas in DelawareThis is my 1st story so be good. It happened on Christmas Eve 2012. We went to visit Emmy's f****y out on the East Coast. Emmy and I had always wanted to fuck outside somewhere and the opportunity had at no time presented itself until now. Now being a Hoosier I at no time had the opportunity to go out to the beach and watch the Atlantic, so we decided to go walk the beaches.
One Night in BangkokSo this is my 1st crack at putting into words one of my very many raunchy adventures. I'm sure the paragraph and sentence structure will be lacking, but undressed with me as I proceed mastering the art of writing those erotic stories.
This is a recent story that occurred December of 2012. The names have been changed, but the locations and details are real and true. Jessy's Diary Part TwoJessys Diary, January 10th 2012
Here we are afresh, dear diary. I thought, I tell u a bit greater amount about my life, in advance of I begin making supper for my spouse. As u know, my life kinda changed with this youthful man named Karl, who invited me as his date for our prom. U might be wondering, if smth happened that night. Well, let me begin at the starting. Large Dark Dick for a sissy doxyI was in Fresh Orleans back in July of 2012. It was so hawt. I was lascivious and hadn't been screwed in over 6 months. I don't actually care for some of the clubs in NOLA. So after walking around downtown for a not many hours and getting all lascivious and bothered I went back to my hotel on Chef Mentuer Hwy, right beside the Adult Theater. (I purposely picked that hotel.
Rosalyn's trip to a stripclub 09/22/2012 part 3I kissed her asscheek, navel, neck, breasts and her cheek. I sucked on her nipps, and then this babe sat her giant butt on my "clitoris" during the time that leaning on my chest with her next to mine I nibbled on her ear lobe during the time that one hand was on a titty and the other was betwixt her asscheeks and this babe was lifting her leg up in the air.
All the Way to Heaven part 13They were making love now, ardent, hawt, perspired love. The muscles in his back, haunches, arms, and ass flexed and this guy cried out into the night, 'Ohhhhhhhh God,' as this guy experienced his own personal heaven.
This guy collapsed onto her, breathless. 'Are u ok?' this guy asked, genuinely anxious for her well-being. Taisha comforted him with her whispers and enjoyable, soft kisses on his face and lips. I Made Smutty Phone Calls To Me Boy-friend's Younger part 6This guy told, 'Nah, it's okay. Leave it. Me and my bruv jerk off ourselves off all the time and we leave our semen everywhere. Mum and Daddy don't mind.'
I got clothed and I panicked a bit cuz I was thinking: what if my boy-friend comes in and catches me here with his younger bruv nude like this? I said him to put his garments on. This guy told, 'Chill out.' Hawt MaidHi all,
This story is about my lascivious sex experience with my hawt maid servant. As people normally write in advance of going about sharing their experience, I'd likewise like to state that this is a real story. And I mean real, by all possible means. Let me go about explaining things to each single detail that I can remember of. Coz, this was one outstanding experience that gives me unstoppable hard-ons even now when I think of it. Rosalyn's trip to a stripclub 09/22/2012I'd like to share and tell u all about my trip tonight to a stripclub. It all started when I left the local bar after having a not many drinks and hanging out with some co-workers. I then decided to go to the nearest stripclub, fortunate for me I had a free-pass for the put in question :). I went in bought a beer and checked out the "dancers" I'm butt and titty sort of gal.

Wood is skillfully crafted to create a building that gently sets itself into its context.
The meditative back side with lichen-moss-covered rocks was left untouched. The sauna building located at this end of the site was built by hand without any major machinery in order to preserve the natural surround.
Interior view of the office space that overlooks the forest.
The front side, on the other hand, is more active with a variety of trees and thus provides for the entrance way and children's play area. The segregated working facilities orient towards the quiet of the surrounding forest. However, the many functions and people are brought together in the contacting zone that serves for social activities such as dining and negotiation.
The wooden building partially inserts itself into the rock bed.
The architects wanted to keep the building envelope hygroscopic and homogenous whilst providing for a flexible plan, relating hence more to the wooden hall than the typical residential unit in structural format. This generated an innovative approach of bringing together wood and rock on site wherein the wooden building is partially inserted into the rock. This solution enables an ease of maintenance of technical installations crucial to sustainable structures. Further, inclined structural screwing was employed in the wooden connections due to the resulting nature of the main frame.

Schalkwyk, who was dumped by Santos last season, is at home in Klerksdorp training by himself with no teams in the First Division or the Premiership showing any interest in signing him.
The midfielder trained with SuperSport United last year but did nothing to impress coach Gavin Hunt.
CLICK HERE for more transfer news.
Schalkwyk tells KickOff.com that he is losing his patience about playing football at the highest level again.
"I am at home and training on my own. I am still searching for a club but with no success.
"If I can't find a team during the transfer window period then I am ready to throw in the towel and quit soccer," he says.
"I have lined-up other projects which I want to be involved with and to help my community here in Klerksdorp, which I intend to start as-soon-as I quit football," Schalkwyk adds.

930 Poydras Street

930 Poydras Street, in New Orleans, by Eskew+Dumez+Ripple.

Residents access the ninth floor lobby by elevators from the ground floor (which let out in the red-curtained alcove) and then they must walk through the space to transfer to another bank of elevators to reach the apartments. The circulation path allows for chance interactions with other residents, creating a firmer sense of community in a city unused to high-rise living. Pop colors and exposed concrete surfaces give the interior a modern feel that targets the mainly young tenants, and glass doors lead out to the pool area.
The sky lobby cantilevers out from the main structure and offers views of the Louisiana Superdome, City Hall, and Lake Pontchartrain. Lounge furniture and high-top tables help create a space for informal events.
The sky lobby is not the only lounge space in the complex: The ninth-floor deck features a pool, terraced seating and chaises for sunbathing, and a grilling area for resident use.
Private outdoor space for the two-story townhouses opens out onto the pool deck but is kept separate from public circulation areas by plank fences and tall planters. The view up to the L-shaped residential tower shows the variegated façade: On these habitable levels, there are more glass panels per floor than on the parking levels below. This is in order to admit light into, and city views out of, the apartments.
Inside, the apartments have simple, loftlike floor plans that afford city views from the living spaces and bedrooms. Finishes are spare, consisting of gypsum walls, polished concrete floors, and sliding polycarbonate panels that divide the rooms. About two-thirds of the apartments are one-bedroom units; the others have two bedrooms.
Few American cities embody "place" quite like New Orleans, where European, African, and Caribbean traditions are blended in a kind of cultural jambalaya. The city's architecture reflects this same multiculturalism, particularly in the French Quarter, which still bears the lasting imprint of Spanish rulers. Their insistence on masonry construction produced an explosion of Creole townhouses—buildings with thick, solid walls punctuated by breezeways leading to courtyards, fountains, and lush interior gardens.
These European antecedents of the old city were inspiration for lead design architect Steve Dumez, whose design for a new high-rise apartment tower at 930 Poydras Street draws on the building patterns of the city's historic quarter—and their social implications. "New Orleans really does not have a tradition of urban, high-rise living," says Dumez, design director at Eskew+Dumez+Ripple. "So we looked at the French Quarter to reinterpret the notion of a shared, semi-private domain for a small community."
His scheme for the 21-story apartment building in the city's business district does just that, seeking to create a sense of community among its residents. In this case, however, people proceed to the semi-private realm along a vertical, rather than horizontal, path. Placed on top of a rectangular podium consisting of eight levels of parking, the L-shaped residential tower consolidates tenant amenities on the ninth floor. This level functions like the inner courtyard of a Creole townhouse—a shared space that is the social heart of the complex.
Anchoring the ninth floor is the sky lobby, a dramatic glass box that cantilevers off the building façade. This double-height lounge—which features polished concrete floors, bar counters set into bright yellow walls, and informal groupings of furniture—serves as an extension of tenants' living spaces. It also houses the elevators serving the residential floors.
Outside the sky lobby is the pool deck, with tiered seating rising alongside the narrow pool. Tucked beneath the bleachers is the facility's fitness center. Five two-story townhouses create an architectural edge along the south side of the deck, producing the effect of a courtyard on the garage rooftop.
In order to make the project work financially, Dumez had to scale back his vision for an all-glass tower. Exhaustive cladding studies resulted in 35 percent glass coverage on the skin. "It was an interesting dilemma," admits Dumez, who turned the limitation into a design opportunity. He devised an animated fenestration pattern with tinted, low-E glass arranged in a field of slate gray steel panels. Most of the glass is concentrated on the upper floors to bring light into the apartments.
As the project advanced through the planning process, city staffers lobbied to include ground-level retail along Poydras Street. "We had absolutely no concerns with that," Dumez says. "We think it provides a better urban condition and a better streetscape." Three retail spaces were included, and a restaurant already occupies one of them.
Although it looks backward to the fabric of 19th century New Orleans, 930 Poydras demonstrates that good urbanism is alive and well in the 21st century, too.

Many of you are wondering what changes this third trimester will bring to you. Find out what surprises are in store during this third trimester of pregnancy here. This is going to be the last trimester and with it comes still yet a few signs and symptoms, most of which are merely a continuation of those that started in the first and second trimesters. The good news is you near the end!
And as a result, your expectant body knows that too. And you will
find find that you have a bust of energy that you will need to prepare and plan to welcome baby. Both into this world, and in your home. Don't be surprised, when all you can think of is about baby! Your thoughts and worries have now re-directed.
Instead of worrying about baby being alright, it now about getting everything ready for his/her arrival. Do as much as you can, but don't forget to take plenty of rest.
I made out a list for you, of signs and symptoms that might bother you during this trimester, and what you can do to make yourself more comfortable if indeed any of these pregnancy symptoms happen to you.
2. Flatulence or gas pains During the third trimester, you might also suffer flatulence and gas pains. These actually tend to show up anytime, especially after 20 weeks. So, usually you might have had them in the second trimester as well. By now, you should have learned to avoid gas-forming foods such as beans, cabbage and sodas. Increase your bulk and water in the food diet, as well as exercise. And, if it's okay with your doctor, take Mylicon. |
1. Hemorrhoids Many women in the third trimester, now with the extra weight they are carrying, leads to the development of hemorrhoids. This incidence increases with a history of constipation in the second trimester. To prevent hemorrhoid occurrence, ensure that you avoid constipation. But, if you do get hemorrhoids, do the following to get some relief;
3. Increased perspiration Increased perspiration can
happen at anytime, but you will find that this occurs more often in your
third trimester of pregnancy. 4. Shortness of breath Do not be alarmed if you suffer
this symptom in the third trimester. In some expectant moms, it actually
starts towards the end of the second trimester. If
you find this symptom quite scaring, and is more severe than you
expected, see you doctor for reassurance and check up. To rule out,
other causes of shortness of breath. |
5. Lower backache In this third trimester, lower backache that might have started in the second half of pregnancy might get a lot more annoying. There were a couple of things i did, that helped a lot and these were, moving about frequently and getting back rubs.
6. Sleeplessness
The third trimester also comes along with sleeplessness.
Although this can start anytime, it's more likely to show up in
the last trimester. If you find yourself in this situation, I would recommend;
7. Varicose veins
Varicose veins usually appear in the third trimester, but they tend to increase as pregnancy grows. What I would recommend you to do, so as to feel comfortable is to put support hose or elastic stockings on in bed before lowering feet down in the morning. Avoid tight clothing and crossing legs or standing for long periods. Most of all, rest with legs elevated and practice good posture. And you should be just fine.
8. Vision changes
Now, vision changes may present in the third trimester or start earlier. But, they can also be throughout pregnancy. Because it's a physiological process of pregnancy, and you will probably return to pre-expectant vision after delivery, I suggest that you don't buy a new prescription for glasses.
Unless, of course, if you really want to buy one.
Otherwise, take frequent eye-breaks to rest your eyes. The only bothersome issue here is, if you wear contact lenses, you might not be able to wear them during pregnancy, if you have vision changes.

Leos Celebrity Deli
Judging a Jewish deli starts with the bagelsare they dense and doughy with a crust that fights back, or simply another form of round bread. Good fresh bialys are another bonus a real test of the real deal in Jewish baking. Then I critique the cream cheese .is it light in texture and dense in taste? Anything resembling a Philadelphia brick brings immediate point deductions next survey the salmon. Is it thinly and expertly sliced, with a flavor of salmoness not salt? And do the half-sour pickles and the slaw have tang and freshness .or are they straight from the shelves of smart and final?
The pastrami should be peppery and well trimmed of fat and the corned beef should make you weep. The brisket pride should be shown in the soups, starting to those pillowy meat dumplings called kreplach .
Others must haves are mighty soft matzohs and plenty of pictures of celebrities. Somehow I feel better devouring a whitefish platter with Joan Rivers (looking like she was photographed through a mayonnaise jar) staring down at me.
The celebrity deli has all of these things and more including a much needed sprucing up and an owner who seems to finally care what his customers think of the place. The sign outside says under new management and theyre not kiddin. Everything about the celebrity delinow called Leosis much improved over what it was, and only the over-dry brisket failed to meet my standards. Is it the best Ive ever been in? Not in a long shot for an east side deli lunch, Leos Celebrity is hard to beat.
And while were at it, did you hear the one about the bad Jewish restaurant? Not only was the food terrible but the portions were really really small. (Cymbal Sound!)

PS4: Too Little, Too Early
Alejandro Grover / Mar 27th, 2013 21 Comments
What is up with Sony jumping the gun on their next-gen console? Well, it is not necessarily jumping the gun… The timing is just about right. Late 2013 is a very appropriate time for the next generation of gaming consoles to come out. But, it has been a month now since Sony announced the PS4 and gave its "details" about how it's going to change the future of gaming, and the "details" were sparse and pretty unsatisfying.
In many ways, the PS3 was technically a better system than Xbox 360. Not only did it have higher stats in general, it also had a built in Blu-Ray player and free Internet access. It seemed kind of ridiculous that Microsoft was charging for this new "Xbox Live." Somehow, developers and gamers alike gravitated toward the Xbox 360 more so than the PS3 in the United States. The Xbox 360 pretty much became the main gamer platform. To be clear, PS3 and Xbox 360 have always been close in sales, but Xbox 360 simply has a higher rate of active users, which means a good amount of people have a PS3 laying around in a corner of a closet somewhere and maybe use it primarily as a Blu-Ray player whenever they decide to watch one. The intention is not to downplay the PS3's user base here, because obviously there are still plenty of PS3 gamers out there, they are just not as prevalent as Xbox 360 gamers, which is an issue for Sony's reputation in the console arena.
To review the information that's been released about PS4 so far, check out here. Some interesting concepts were discussed, some plans that the company had for taking advantage of the Internet cloud were mentioned, a controller was shown, built-in social networking, and the idea of making PS4 games available across multiple mobile platforms was also a subject of conversation. However, some very notable details were missing: Where's the device? It can't really be considered an "unveiling" if its not unveiled… Price range? Sure, probably too early for that, but at least a ballpark figure? Backwards compatibility? Will you have to throw away your PS3 games? Current-Gen Controllers? Will any of the controllers, including steering wheels/PS move controllers be compatible?
Microsoft is probably less than worried about these vague details about the mysterious upcoming PS4. If anything, it is like a learning opportunity. Sony gives away some of their information, so Microsoft gets a chance to know what they are up against way ahead of time. Try to research details on Microsoft's Next-gen console and there will be nothing but rumors. People are hyping it up and nicknaming it Xbox 720 even though that name was never official. Microsoft will most likely truly unveil their system when they are good and ready. It kind of seems like Sony is trying to distract from its shortcomings with the PS3 when compared with the 360 by hyping up gamers and developers about something that they do not seem to know enough about to be announcing yet. Sure, it could be all just part of the marketing game, keeping gamers in suspense over the lack of details… But, how long is that supposed to go on for? Are gamers really supposed to just live in suspense over something as vaguely described as the PS4? Die-hard PS3 fans will probably be on their toes, but realistically, in a competitive market, Sony should have probably held off the announcement a bit until they had enough details to get anyone and everyone excited about their new beast. In short, it really feels like this "unveiling" that Sony provided does not really change anything about what is in demand, and further, it seems like it's nothing more than an annoying teaser/distraction from the current-gen systems that we are all occupied with at the moment.

Good value for price, actually a (2) for one. Great for our Class A motorhome as both foot rest and table
I love the ottoman, table, foot rest, this is such a versatile piece!!
Good quality, packaged well for shipping, Have to install the feet. Trays are a nice solid wood, and lots of storage underneath. Top is soft enough to use as a footrest, but sturdy enough to also hold glasses of liquid without spilling. Overall pleased with this purchase.
I read several of the revives, and was a little nervous about ordering this product. the ottoman's color is just as it is described; brown(espresso), which goes great with all of our living room furniture. there were no defect upon arrival the trays are prefect. the overall size is just as it states. this is not a huge ottoman, but goes great in a medium size living room. Plenty of storage space for blankets and other item. I am very happy with this purchase, A++
First return ever. Larger of 2 was taller than described, looked bad next to lower/modern furniture. The top (white side) of larger ottoman was scratched and discolored like something sharp and brown scraped over it. Sent it back.

Ok, so I have a few RDAs and i need to drill some holes.
How are you guys doing this?
Basically what I've tried thus far is mounting the thing on an old non-working Ego battery and then trying to use my drill to make a hole. All it is doing though is skipping around and not going into the hole. It's marring up the finish on the atty housing.
I realize a drill press would be optimal but I don't own one.
Are there some tips or something I'm missing?

WEST, Texas (USAToday)—Students are back in class, homes are being rebuilt and, at least on the surface, normalcy appears to be returning to this battered town six months after one of the worst chemical blasts in U.S. history.
But there is a lingering unease.
The explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. depot occurred six months ago last Thursday. A fire inside a storage building reached a store of ammonium nitrate and triggered the blast, killing 15 people, including 10 first responders. More than 200 were injured, and 161 homes were wiped out.
For miles, the blast blew out windows and tossed people to the ground. It left a crater 90 feet across and 10 feet deep and caused more than $200 million in damage.
Firefighter Robert Payne had nerve damage to his right shoulder, a broken left ankle, broken ribs, broken cheek bones and five teeth blown out.
"The city in general is recuperating," Payne says. "Mentally, it's going to take a long, long time."
The state fire marshal and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are still investigating.
How the incident changes the way ammonium nitrate is regulated in the USA remains to be seen. Ammonium nitrate is a widely used fertilizer but can also be used as an explosive.
In 1995, Timothy McVeigh packed more than 2,000 pounds of it into a truck bomb that killed 168 people in Oklahoma City.
West Fertilizer had 540,000 pounds on site four months before the blast, state records show.
This month, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the company's owners with 24 "serious safety violations."
Sixteen lawsuits have been filed against Adair Grain, which owns the fertilizer depot. Company owner Donald Adair declined to comment.
Reminders are everywhere here. West Fertilizer was razed. Homes are in rubble or hollowed-out ruin. Others have work crews out front.
The blast blew out all the windows and popped the roof off Robert Seith's home two blocks from the fertilizer company. Insurance covered $95,000 of the $150,000 in damage. He was recently approved for a low-interest loan by the Small Business Administration to cover the gap. He plans to rebuild on the place where he and his two siblings were raised.
Seith, 48, and his wife, Kim, have been living in his sister's RV. "I'm ready to come home," he says.
The city has issued 150 building permits for new and remodeled homes, says Mayor Tommy Muska, whose house was badly damaged. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has paid $700,000 in grants for city repairs.
"One of our biggest challenges is keeping morale up and making sure these people are mentally taken care of," Muska says.
West Long-Term Recovery, created to help blast victims, has seen a steady influx of people complaining of hyperventilation, short tempers and personality changes, Executive Director Karen Bernsen says.
Bernsen says the symptoms could be brought on by stress, but she worries they might be from undiagnosed brain damage or internal injuries.
A counseling center organized by Baylor University closed recently because of a lack of clients, but people are just now seeking help, she says. "Now everybody needs it, and it's gone."
Reliving the Nightmare
The fire call went out just before 7:30 p.m. on April 17. Payne, 51, was on vacation and had turned his pager off. A relative called with the news. He headed to the depot in his wife's SUV.
When fire officials saw how fast the fire was spreading, they pulled everyone back.
There Payne's memory cuts out.
The blast had the force of 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of TNT and registered as a magnitude-2.1 earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
It threw Payne 25 feet into the air and deposited him in a cattle feed tank. He spent two days in intensive care and two more weeks in the hospital. He still has therapy on his arm.
He knows others are worse off.
"It was awful," Payne says. "But we're a stronger and closer-knit community because of it."

How to Clean/steralize Bath Toys
Hello everyone!
I was just curious about what other mommies do to clean their babies bath toys? I get anxious about using bleach? If that's what do to, how much? I have been just cleaning them with soap and water, but he has ALOT of bath toys:)
Any advice would be helpful.

Okay here's the deal I understand that hospitals reccommend bleach; however, when you use bleach in your bathroom where moisture is trapped under the tub, flooring and in the walls it turns into TOXIC MOLD! I use vinegar based cleaners which are now available almost anywhere. You can also, if you have one, put the toys in the dishwasher on the top rack, which works well for all plastic toys.
I hope that my input helps you.

Bleach is the only thing hospitals recommend because it kills EVERYTHING. Clorox makes those wipes, theyare safe and effective. If you want to use a bleach solution, onepart bleach 10 parts water is safe, effective and healthy for the kids!!!
Good luck!!
K.L. answers from Seattle on January 04, 2007
I put all of my kids toys in the dish washer.
K.P. answers from Los Angeles on January 04, 2007
As for cleaning the toys I dont blame you for now wants to use liquid bleach....Soap and water would work but why not use like dawn dish soap that has the bleach alternative in it...Since you have alot do them in small groups or just put them all in the tub at the same time us as hot water as you can take it and the dawn with bleach....the best part is you can drain is and let them dry in the tub...Let me know what ya do...
D.N. answers from Medford on January 03, 2007
Soap and warm water is fine, be sure to rinse well. Please do not use bleach, it's so bad for everyone. Personally, I don't use any toxic products in my home (like the ones sold in grocery stores). I use wonderful non-toxic products that are much better and certainly give me peace of mind.
V.H. answers from Las Vegas on January 04, 2007
run them through the dishwasher. Mine has a sterilize cycle, but really any cycle will work as long as its hot water. I just gather up a bunch of toys teethers, anything really. You can do the hairbrushes at the same time too. Happy cleaning! ~V.
H.M. answers from San Diego on January 04, 2007
I wouldnt use bleach.. Cleaning with antibacterial soap and towel drying should be fine
S.M. answers from Chico on January 04, 2007
I toss ALL of my sons toys in the washing machine with a load of clothes...sometimes in a tied pillowcase, other times; just toss 'em in!
I figure if they don't work/are broken...he has PLENTY to pick up the slack! :) But, to be honest, I have yet to have a problem with any of them...even the ones that say "don't wash".

Executive Order to Increase the Energy Efficiency of Wisconsin State Buildings
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle issued an executive order on April 11 that requires state buildings to conform to stricter energy efficiency standards. The order is part of the Conserve Wisconsin Agenda Doyle announced last year to establish green building and water efficiency standards and encourage use of renewable energy and recycled materials. Read Executive Order 145.
The governor said the new standards could save as much as $30 million annually on utility bills. "In Wisconsin, we are on the cutting-edge of energy innovation — with the most forward looking and balanced energy policy anywhere in the Midwest, and a strong commitment to renewable energy," Doyle said. "And as part of that effort, I want the state to lead by example."
The governor directs the Wisconsin Department of Administration to establish efficiency standards for state buildings based on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification managed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council in Washington, D.C. The department will assess the state's 6,300 buildings over the next several years to determine how to implement the standards. The Department of Administration, which also administers the State Energy Program in Wisconsin, will also:
- Identify state facilities that are suitable for energy performance contracts.
- Reduce energy consumption at the University of Wisconsin by The goals should reduce overall actual energy usage per square foot by at least 10% by FY08 from the FY05 state energy report baseline adjusted for weather and 20% by 2010.
- Pursue demonstration projects of photovoltaics and other renewable energy technologies.
- Review the state's purchasing procedures for energy efficiency.
For more information, read the governor's April 11 press release.

Code of Conduct Summary
Student Discipline Procedures
Updated: September 2013
The Rochester City School District strives to provide a safe and productive learning environment that helps students to become successful, responsible citizens. Our goal is for every student to participate fully in his or her education, without disruption.
The Code of Conduct is written to promote a positive learning environment for all students. It sets expectations for responsible behavior by all partners in the school community: students, teachers, administrators and other staff, parents, and visitors.
Students are expected to attend school every day, work to the best of their ability, and behave properly--which means following school rules, showing respect for others, contributing to a safe school environment, and accepting responsibility for your actions. Consequences for violating the Code can include warnings, loss of privileges, suspensions, or removal from the regular school program.
There are five specific actions that students can expect will result in immediate placement in "PM school," receiving instruction after school hours or at home.
- Participation in any group that engages in violence. This applies not only to joining an organized group or taking part in a fight. It includes any effort that promotes or encourages violence, such as videotaping or cheering on a fight.
- Bullying other students, as defined by the Dignity for All Students Act
- Carrying weapons
- Assaulting any person in the school community
- Trespassing on school property, which means being in the building or on the grounds of a school that is not the location of a student's assigned program
Anyone who witnesses these or other violations of the Code of Conduct should contact the school's Dignity Act coordinator, another adult at school or the District Safety and Security office: 262-8600.
Students found engaging in any of the above activities will be immediately referred to a Principal and School Chief for a long-term suspension hearing. Until that hearing, the student will be reassigned to after-hours or home instruction. Parents will be required to participate in a mandatory orientation with their children as part of this reassignment.
A student's actions outside of school can also result in suspension or other discipline, if the actions infringe on the rights of other students or are likely to cause disruption at school.
Visit www.rcsdk12.org for details on the Code of Conduct, a list of Dignity Act coordinators and other information about Rochester schools.

Active New Zealand
Once Active New Zealand's IT team and Management team discovered that 25% of traffic to the Active New Zealand's site was coming via mobile devices, it was time for Pinch to build them a Mobile site.
Pinch built a brand reflective mobile site still containing enough content to intrigue the user. An email and contact information form was added to capture leads which are provided to the Active team to follow up.
Queenstown Water Taxis
Pinch designed and built a mobile site for Queenstown Water Taxi's that is user friendly, and most importantly easy to find the phone number to call a cab. A water Cab that is!
Thunder Jet Queenstown
Thunder Jet provides a jet boating trip up the Kawarau River just out of Queenstown. The owners of Thunder Jet are aware that more and more tourists are travelling with smart phones, whether it be an android or iPhone.
To be ready for travellers on their way to Queenstown it became obvious that a mobile website should be part of their next marketing strategy.
The user can now view Thunder Jets trip details, watch a video, and most importantly book a trip all from their mobile phone. Pinch even arranged the third party booking system to be mobile so the complete sales funnel is easy to use, and Mobile!
Water Sports World
Water Sports World, situated in Queenstown New Zealand, offers Jet Ski hire and Boat hire on the stunning Lake Wakitipu. Pinch had the opportunity to analyse Water Sports World's Google analytics, and discovered that up to 30% of traffic was coming to the Water sports site from a mobile phone. With this information it was very easy for the owner to see the benefits of having a mobile website.
With clear call to action and an easy to navigate home page, Pinch feels that all the important aspects of a mobile website have been displayed.
Winnie's Pizza Bar & Restaurant
With more and more people using their mobile phones (50% of local searches are currently done from a mobile phone) to access the internet it was imperative that Winnie's Gourmet Pizza Restaurant went mobile.
Winnie's is situated in Queenstown New Zealand, one of New Zealand's, and the world's, most popular tourist destinations.
Pinch has built Winnie's a user-friendly mobile site which enables their clients easy access to the content management systems where they can update their specials page when required.
The next step for Winnie's is for Pinch to develop a mobile marketing strategy to capitalise on their mobile site using QR codes.

Mug-Shot Friday: Hieroglyphics, a Poet, and a Guy Who Can't Do Anything Right
Categories: Broward News
Charged with: Out-of-state fugitive
-- Our theory: All she wanted was a new license picture. She put on the special bracelets, got in line, and right before the picture was taken the camera guy yelled, "Just kidding -- you're going to jail."
Charged with: Unknown; possibly speeding in a school zone
-- At first glance, this looked like a textbook case of Old Guy With a Soul Patch. Zoom in and BOOM, it's actually a very rare case of Old Guy With Hieroglyphics on His Face.
Charged with: Possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug equipment
-- It's about damned time they arrested that Maroon 5 guy. What isn't included in the records is that the controlled substance cops say he had was actually a big satchel of schmaltzy love songs.

Usually when you apply for life insurance, the company will ask you to undergo a medical exam. At the exam, you'll get your height and weight measured and blood pressure taken. You'll also provide blood and urine samples and answer questions to confirm information you provided on the life insurance application.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable life insurance now.
The insurance company will use the results of the information to set your life insurance premium. Insurers look for signs that indicate risk, such as high blood pressure or unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Although you can't reverse major health conditions in a matter of days, you can take some simple steps to prepare so the exam results are accurate.
Just getting a good night's sleep the night before will help you feel rested and avoid nervousness that could cause a spike in blood pressure. Make sure you follow directions for fasting to avoid inaccurate blood test results. Lay off alcohol the night before the exam, which can cause dehydration, and don't drink coffee or smoke an hour before the exam. Both can elevate blood pressure.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which will make it easier to draw blood, and write down a list of the medications and the amounts you take each day.
Want to skip the exam? Some insurance companies market "guaranteed acceptance" life insurance policies that do not require a medical exam. However, if you're in reasonably good health, you'll get a better deal on life insurance that requires an exam. The more information insurance companies have, the more accurately they can price policies. Guaranteed acceptance policies are priced higher to cover the unknown risks.
For more, see "How to ace your life insurance medical exam."

For educational reasons, I've been watching a lot of video music clips over the past couple of months, namely, because I'm currently involved in producing one. A lot of random and referenced YouTube clips and the weekend morning showcases. One particular program has shown a particular clip every(?) week since I was taking notice. Charge Group's Run. It's great, the song is some sort of progressive post grunge rock and the clip is without a doubt my favourite clip I've seen this year (the fact they are local and it was done on a small budget gave them no added points). There is a great article / interview on The Vine with reference to one of my favourite authors and book, something I made a connection with before reading anything about it. Although that's not saying much because transformative / initiation stories tend to appeal to me. Unfortunately, the official YouTube version only has 6,849 views as of this writing. With the amount of exposure on (at least) Rage, this makes me feel disappointed in an entire generation.
Now for some negativity. With credit card ready, I googled the band, came across the YouTube video and article, but beyond the article I got stuck on YouTube and went through some links to their other material …it's ffffolk rock… I have nothing against folk rock, I like it, some of my favourite artists are branded under that. Folk rock is very well represented in my music collection. But I sort Charge Group out, ready to buy their MP3s, based on a band promoting themselves through their single as progressive post grunge rock. That's what I wanted, I wanted more Run, and I don't mean 2 remixes of it on their 7 track ep (another track of which is also a remix), I mean more songs that would fit under the above four-word-label. By all appearances they are a folk rock band that did a progressive post grunge rock song, not a progressive post grunge rock band that have done a couple of folk rock songs. Maybe they could have got me through the folk rock stuff if that was my introduction to them, but they got me through Run and the rest inevitably has to be disappointing. I like both chocolate and vanilla ice-cream, but if I have a craving for chocolate, vanilla isn't going to satisfy (and vice versa). So they won't be getting my $6 (or more) for the EP nor $8 (or more) for the first album, but I'll give them their dollar for Run. It's unfortunate because the other stuff is probably great but I can't get past the child in me who was looking through the freezer for chocolate ice-cream. Maybe a separate group with the same members doing the different styles, a'la Nick Cave / Grinderman, would be the way to go.
More on the shared universe
So things are slowly coming along with the Time of the Dead shared universe. It's kind of difficult because I'm juggling it in with a few projects but it is happening.
The more I go into it the more I realise the difficulty of a shared universe both creatively and legally. The first idea I had for a shared universe was about 10 years ago but there was a big problem technologically and the way I envisioned it, a legal and creative minefield. The technology is around now but the legal aspects of are still problematic. The second idea was about five or six years ago when I was living in Japan. There was another writer, also living in Japan at the time, on board and a couple other interested parties. The tech was possible and I had devised a solution for the legalities but the creative problem remained. People are attached to the idea of owning their ideas. The girl who was onboard for the project was involved in fan fiction (as well as her original work) and yet she had problems with anyone working with her creations. It was through talking with her that I was able to figure out how to share in that particular version of a shared universe yet she was one against (to be fair, let's use 'strongly hesitant') the idea of people being able to play with her creations. I figured that if I was to go ahead with it, and people who were happy to use other peoples creations in fan fiction would not be happy to share alike, it would be doomed.
So now with a third attempt to create a shared universe, I hope I have thought through all the problems. Keep it simple. The zombie genre is ideal for this as it's practically a shared universe as it is. Have a set of rules in the public domain, which is the basis for the universe and people own their own work, stories and characters.
Going to stop there to follow a thread/rant – this is pure opinion: A common scenario for a speculative fiction writer when given an assignment – in this case the assignment is – to write a zombie story, would be to sit down and think, "how do I make this original?" And it can be fun writing a unique take on zombies, very satisfying for the writer. However, I think that from the perspective of the reader who likes zombies, they like their zombies in an apocalypse, told through the perspectives of people trying to survive, not a bizarro explanation of the weather told from the perspective of a rotting intestine. I think readers want well told stories about characters they care about no matter the genre.
I just finished Tomb Raider Underworld. Fun game, although it could possibly be over done if you've played any of the previous entries in the series. I haven't for more than maybe half an hour of the first or second one many many years ago, so this was fairly fresh to me. What really got to me was the sophisticated technology in ancient civilizations, it was something I realized was not often seen outside of video games and put simply, I think it's great because it fires my imagination. In games it seems to be everywhere and I suspect is conveniently used for puzzles and style / story substance second. The more I think about it, it is probably an almost perfect example of deus ex machina when used in video games.
But now I can't think of anything I've read that really deals with this in that particular time period. Not something like Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones where they are in the modern era encountering ancient technology, but something set in the time of an ancient, fictional or real civilization. Forget the relics they are after, I would be far more interested in the stone and wood clockwork that pulls giant statues of gods with Mattel style moving parts out of the ground.
This got me wondering what it's called and who actually writes in the genre. So looking around, this all officially falls under the steampunk label for anyone that has no interest in steampunk or genrepunk anything. Other people have commented on it but it really only comes down to labels, agreed or not. I guess the closest that any label comes to it would be clockpunk or probably closer still, mythpunk. For me, the punk suffix doesn't really work the same way for myth as it does for cyber and steam but I guess the alternative, -tech doesn't either. Mythtech works to a degree because it is more descriptive than any -punk suffix but I'm unsure if it works as a genre. The most common place for the usage is games, roll playing and video, but I would guess that they would mostly just fall under the Fantasy category. Something I may have to follow up…

Home → Wildlife → Reports & Publications → WMA Plans
Wildlife Management Area Plans
Management plans are developed for each of the WMAs on a five year rotational basis. These plans are comprehensive in that they provide detailed descriptions of the areas, provide a history of the property, outline existing habitat and provide a plan for implementing future habitat management activities.
The WMA Plans are important because they provide the framework in which implementation of habitat management to provide for optimum wetland or upland habitats can take place as well as to provide opportunities for the public to use the WMAs. The WMA plans are developed by the Regional Wildlife and Fisheries Biologists with input from the Research Assessment Section, Lands Management Program, and the Engineering Division within the Department.
Links to these plans will be provided as the most recent versions are completed.

how do i upload images onto the net? and erm... thats it 0o' please help...
What are you really asking for? Death and damnation?
Sorry, death is sold out. However, damnation has a 2 for the price of 1 deal.
thats twice as painful though... id rather go for black market dealing to get death... or hopefully living?
But the black market is expensive, usually 4 times the price I sell. I'll restock tomorrow. Come early!
I also have a by 2 death and get 1 damnation free if you want.
i really want to avoid damnation if you can... whats included in both packages?
Well, with death, you get eternal lifelessness until you pay your reincarnation fee (which costs a fortune by the way). And in damnation, you get eternal misfortune until maybe, a very small chance, like 1 in 10000, that a saint shall free your soul from my clutches.
