Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means "The Ultimate Argument of Kings," and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. "We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it's about: You'll do as I say or I'll send my goons to kill you."
I thought about that for a long time. If there's an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I've got bullets - he's got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that's not going to happen. So if there's an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain't bullets.
It finally came to me - and that's when I left the city, abandoned a goodly percentage of my goods, and gave all that was behind me a good, stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Chelsea Therapeutics' CEO Discusses Chelsea Therapeutics Receives Complete Response Letter From Food And Drug Administration For Northera(TM) (droxidopa) Capsules (Transcript)
They further acknowledged that that their guidance is open to the possibility of a single study approval in indications which there is an unmet serious medical need. And that NOH as a condition which is still [awaiting] symptoms with limited treatment options could be a condition for which they will consider an approval based on the results of one study. The letter also states that 301 has many of the characteristics of a single adequate well-controlled study that could make it adequate to support effectiveness.
However the agency's review of the data concluded that there were some subgroups namely women, older patients, US patients and those with Parkinson demonstrated less persuasive results following treatment with Northera and I will note separately that a majority of 301 was conducted in Ex US and that a majority of the US patients participating in the study were through consultation.
They further indicated that these inconsistencies, the results of Study 303 and 303 undercuts the persuasiveness of 301. Finally the letter raised some concerns regarding what they determined to be a disproportionate large favorable effect of one site on the outcome of Study 301. While we would agree that these results impacted the outcome of the 301 our analysis shows that consistent treatment effect is seen across the positive majority of the participating sites and that adjusted for the overall number of participants, results of Study 301 excluding the site would have been persuasive.
The letter also emphasizes the agency's interest in data that adequately demonstrates the durability of the effect. As you'll recall this was also a significant discussion point, both in the agency's briefing document and subsequent advisory committee meeting where the panel ultimately concluded the potential treatment benefits coupled with a significant unmet medical need warranted approval of Northera and outweighed the need for additional study concerning durability prior to the approval ultimately recommending approval of our NDA.

Europa Galante, a dozen early-music string players from Italy, won friends from a heatstricken but air-conditioned audience at Alice Tully Hall on Sunday afternoon. Fabio Biondi, the group's conductor and principal violinist, is a familiar figure in New York's often abortive period-instrument scene. Here he was making his first appearance at the Mostly Mozart series, as was his ensemble.
Europa Galante sounded tighter and more convincing some 20 minutes into the program. A certain rough and hectic quality gradually disappeared, and this became a more disciplined group. Its members smile a lot, and a gracious program of Baroque favorites gave them music to smile over.
Vivaldi was often present. An F-Major Concerto (Rv 141) was notable for sudden interjections of silence. More Vivaldi after intermission (the D-Major Concerto, Op. 3, No. 9) seduced us with a graceful slow movement. If anything truly kept the listener alert it was Geminiani's long and obsessive take on the traditional ''La Follia'' theme: here a concerto grosso in the form of 23 variations, many of them vivid. Locatelli's F-minor Sinfonia added a touch of gravity. The afternoon ended with Corelli's familiar ''Christmas'' Concerto.
Mr. Bondi is a solid virtuoso, and he is also unafraid to wander out into the world of florid ornament. If his group is not the last word in period-strings spit and polish, its members do their jobs well. No one will fault them for lack of enthusiasm.

Preview: H&M Spring 2013
Some of my faves coming next Spring...
I was at their show room yesterday and want so show you what's coming this Spring.
I like the charcoal drawstring bag, the embellished sweatshirts, the patterned leather mini and that red jacket (picture 5). I've already seen that jacket making the rounds online in Europe and I wanted to see how it really looks in person. It's feels like an embellished moto jacket.
Above are the pieces I liked the most although I regret not photographing the light weight peasant style shirt blouses that would be killer with the leather mini or the skinny jeans with side panel details.
I know it's simple but that pineapple thin t-shirt was a fave too. The metal tip ankle boots look very my style and I still recommend getting tips put on your own if you're up for it.

Thanks for the preview...I can't wait for spring...I had a feeling at the end u were gonna say u really liked the pineapple shirt lol. I love the studded vest and I like that there is still a nice focus on details :)

Well Done Karen for posting H&M's Spring preview. Only probs I want it now!!! Love the sweats, leathers and of course their version of the wonderful Arson Flames. Can't beat H&M for basics and their incredibly reasonable prices (and the best part, if you're patient and wait you will almost always find pieces at stupid prices in their clearance/sale section - that's how I re-stock my wardrobe) :0)
ReplyDelete those boots are SO you!! can't wait for that leather jacket, and those white embellished shorts :)
xo Diana
Dressed Up Alligatorsi really love that leather looking skirt with the embossed detailing on the sides.. can't wait to see that in stores! and the pineapple shirt is amazing!

I work at a restaurant in South Florida. Monday night Lil Scrappy, Bambi and two other men came to my job for dinner. They ran up an $85 bill, paid in cash, told my coworker the service was great, and tipped her $3 and change. I took a picture of the check and the cash tip and tweeted it.
My friend sent me Lil Scrappy's Twitter name and I mentioned him with the picture and said "Where is the rest of my coworker's tip?" Well I guess they felt some type of way about that.
The next day a female called my job complaining that one of the employees had put a picture on social media of their terrible tip (I guess they were trying to get me fired), demanded to speak to my boss, wanted the number to corporate and said they were going to sue my job (LOL). Lil Scrappy went to King of Diamonds that night so I'm guessing they're not broke, just CLASSLESS for leaving that miserable tip.
I didn't slander them. I didn't make a false statement. I did nothing more than embarrass them to my 400 twitter followers so they're IGNORANT too for thinking that they could sue anyone. Please share this story so more than 400 people can see just how petty and sad they are. – Story submitted by a C+D reader

Weird noise coming from under the shift knob
I just noticed a high pitched humming noise that is comparable to wind humming through trees. It seems to come from under where my shift knob is at. And it almost hums with the motor. Like when it revs high it hums higher. Anybody know what this could be?
Might be that the jamb nut is loose under the shift pattern insert in the knob.
It's more internal than the knob. That's just the general direction of the noise. Idk if its something with the clutch or with the engine.

Diary of A Worm
From Library Staff
Doreen Cronin's funny, diary-style account of the challenges and benefits of a being a worm. Students can listen and read along to this book through NYPL's Tumble Book database. http://bit.ly/rSV6Wg
Also available (with a nonfiction companion) through Bookflix.
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentI loved this book from the very first page. This is a journal written by a young boy worm. It is his perspective on life. Throughout he talks about the advantages that worms bring to the earth such as airing soil and composting. The little boy is mischievous at times, but is good to his friends.
The illustrations are wonderful, colorful and fun. The book is laced with humor that kept me laughing to the end. One of my favorite scenes is when the worms try to do the Hokey Pokey at a party, but they can only put their heads in, out and turn all around. I like the subtle way this book teaches ecology and the benefits worms bring to the earth. This book would be a perfect starting point for an Earth Day lesson. I also love the creativity of the worm's perspective.
There are two newer books in a series called Diary of a Worm written by Lori Houran. These are young readers based on this picture book, but are not written by Doreen Cronin. There are also Diary of Fly and Diary of a Spider by Cronin. I look forward to reading these next.
This book is advertized for ages 4-8. I really don't think four year olds would get most of the humor in this book. I would say it is more appropriate for ages 6-9.
Add Age SuitabilitySummary
Add a SummaryPreS-Gr 3-A baseball-capped crawler gives readers an episodic glimpse into the vicissitudes of his life in these hilarious diary entries. Difficulties such as having no arms, having a head that looks a lot like your rear end, and facing the dangers imposed by people digging for bait are balanced by a loving family and good friends. The young protagonist describes playing with his friend Spider, engaging in a variety of activities at school, and interacting with his parents and sister. Packed into these droll slice-of-worm-life vignettes are a few facts about earthworms and their behavior, all rendered with a dry sense of humor. The full-color watercolor-and-ink illustrations sprawl across the pages in lush earth tones. Bliss's cartoons give the worms lots of personality without overly anthropomorphizing them. The use of multiple perspectives will have children eagerly looking at the pictures to identify objects and locales. Primary-grade youngsters will especially appreciate the classroom scenes. This quirky worm's-eye view of the world makes these ubiquitous invertebrates a little more understandable and a lot more fun.-Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, WI (c) Copyright 2010.

Crank up your players' defensive pressure with this drill from University of Colorado head coach Tad Boyle. Coach Boyle likes to run this drill because it promotes good communication on defense, rebounding fundamentals and also helps players learn to fly to the ball.
Drill Summary: Three defensive players begin in the lane with four offensive players evenly spaced out around the perimeter. To begin, the coach rolls the ball to an offensive player. The offense gets a maximum of five passes before they have to shoot the ball. Until the ball is shot, the three defenders must use good closeouts and defensive rotations as the ball moves around. Once the ball is shot, the offense crashes and a fourth defensive player who has stayed under the rim until the shot enters the drill. The fourth defender's duty is to pick up whoever the other three defenders haven't boxed out. If the defense gets the rebound, they get a point. If the offense gets the rebound or makes the shot, the defense goes back to zero points. The goal of the drill is for the defense to get three stops consecutively.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Move your feet.
2) Pressure the ball.
3) Communicate.
4) Box out.
This video came from Championship Productions' video "Tad Boyle: Game-Like Defensive Practice Drills." View other world class Basketball videos!
Jeff Walz's Louisville Cardinals are one of the top teams in the nation for a reason – they know how to score easy buckets. In this set, which can be used during the game or with time running down at the end of a half, teams will open up a scoring opportunity from the corner as a player comes off a double screen from two posts.
Drill Summary: In this box set, begin with a post at each elbow and a guard at each block. First, the point guard dribbles to a side. As the point guard picks a side, the guard on the backside wraps around the two posts on the elbows and returns to the ball side block. The other guard follows the first guard cutter, but pops out to the top of the key instead. The point guard then passes to the player at the top of the key. In the meantime, the two posts relocate to the backside block and prepare to set a double screen for the guard on the block, who receives the pass ready to shoot or dish to a post.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Timing of screens and cuts.
2) Good double screen.
3) Be ready to slip if the defense switches.
4) Communication.

University of Ohio head coach Saul Phillips teaches his teams the pack line defense, a system developed specifically to limit dribble penetration and force low percentage shots. In this drill, teams work on pack line defensive fundamentals while learning the offensive techniques from the next team on the schedule. This is a great drill to use at every practice!
Drill Summary: Players split into teams of four. One team is on defense while the other two teams will alternate offensive possessions for five minutes. Before each rep, a coach or manager assigns the offense one of the top five concepts that the next opponent on the schedule likes to run. The offensive team runs that concept, while the defense works on becoming accustomed to the different looks from the offense.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Force the longest pass.
2) Keep your hands outside your body.
3) Look for "pick sixes".
4) Protect basket first.

Oklahoma State head coach Travis Ford takes you through his hard hedge method of defending a ball screen. The Cowboys' goal is to discourage the drive and frustrate the ball handler, in hope of causing a bad shot or creating a turnover.
Drill Summary: This method is used when the opposing team attempts to set a ball screen on the wing with three players on the back side. As the post comes up to set the screen, their defender communicates to the player guarding the ball that the screen is coming and makes it hard for the screener to set the screen by standing them up. Once the defender on the ball hears the screen is coming, they open up and get low. As the screen is being set, the player being screened gets "skinny and slippery", and goes around the screen, below the screener's hip. The big man hedges on the ball and "S&S" (scares and screams) to try to get the ball handler to back out towards half court. Following the screen attempt, the backside post defender serves as the TC (traffic controller) and communicates with the screener's defender on whether they should stay or switch.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Big man needs to "scare & scream" (S&S) when hedging.
2) Communicate all screens and defensive responsibilities.
3) Player being screened must be "skinny and slippery".
4) Force the ball into the screen.

Jackie Ansley, the CEO, owner, and performance coach of Performance Training Inc., as well as WNBA strength coach for the Atlanta Dream, Washington Mystics and Detroit Shock, shows a simple drill that any athlete with an open court or slab of concrete can do to improve their lateral quickness. Ansley's experience training professional athletes is sure to benefit basketball players of all skill levels.
Drill Summary: Set up a square of cones, with each square about five or six paces apart. The athlete begins in the center of the square and receives commands from a coach, who can tell them to move: right, left, up and left, up and right, back and left, and back and right. The athlete then performs a defensive shuffle in whichever direction the coach commands. Focus on staying in a good stance and moving on a straight line.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Lead with the foot closest to where you're going. (Ex: Right foot going right)
2) Keep your head in the same position.
3) Don't open up your feet (it stresses the hamstring).
4) Plant and get back quickly.

Let's Consider Some FactsSubmitted by Recent Leland Resident (not verified) on Tue, 11/08/2011 - 4:33am.
The population in Leland has increased since the year 1989(approximately 1960 residents) to over 12,000 residents today. That's an increse of about 500% over a 22 year period. The town council voted to increase their pay to be in line with similar towns their size and took the middle of the road. From what I have gathered, I believe this is the first pay increase since the town incorporated in 1989. Now how many of you have had no pay raises since 1989? So what is the point of WWAY's article? Is the pay increase too much, not enough or just right? »

I am writing unit tests for our main product and have one concern: how to differentiate
- tests that failed because what they tested went wrong (a bug was found and its a non regression test for it for instance)
- tests that failed because another unexpected part of the test failed (because the test is wrong or an unknown bug appeared)
For the first one, we have the jUnit Assert framework for sure, but what do we have for the second one?
Example: my unit test is testing that c() will not throw MyException, but to perform c() I need to first perform a() then b() which both can throw MyException(), so I would write:
public void testC() {
Object forC = b();
try {
} catch (MyException e) {
But then I need to handle the MyException that can be thrown by a or b, and also handle the fact that forC should not be null. What is the best way to do this?
- Catch MyException thrown by a or b and Assert.fail, but a and b are not tested by this test so for me they shouldn't be marked as test failure when they fail. Maybe they fail later because at this time we should do b();a() not a();b();.
- Let testC throws MyException, so that the test will fail with "MyException", but this is misleading because MyException will not tell that the test is wrongly written. All tests will then fail each with their own Exception. In this case I would also need to throw something like NullPointerException if forC is null, which also has no semantic.
- Catch and wrap MyException thrown by a and b into a exception telling that the test might be wrong, like a TestCorruptedException. But I couldnt find such exceptions in jUnit, so they would not be recognized by jUnit as such (that's ok for me). Also I would need to know this exception from all my unit tests which are of course split into multiple modules, projects and so on...So this is doable but adds dependencies.
What would be your solution to this problem? I will likely go for the second but I'm not pleased with it as explained above.

Comments about DMI Protrainer Staple Free Bristle Dart Board:
I've had this board for a long time now. The durability is fantastic (proper rotaion helps). The staple free embedded spider is great. It's perfect for honing your skills. The half sized double and triple areas can get frustrating, but if you're riding the wires on this board, you're in on a tourney board. This board gives that extra challenge in the DIDO 01 games.

The South
By Colm Toibin
(Scribner, Paperback, 9781476704487, 240pp.)
Publication Date: October 30, 2012

In 1950, Katherine Proctor leaves Ireland for Barcelona, determined to escape her family and become a painter. There she meets Miguel, an anarchist veteran of the Spanish Civil War, and begins to build a life with him. But Katherine cannot escape her past, as Michael Graves, a fellow Irish émigré in Spain, forces her to reexamine all her relationships: to her lover, her art, and the homeland she only thought she knew.
The South is a novel of classic themes—of art and exile, and of the seemingly irreconcilable yearnings for love and freedom—to which Colm Tóibín brings a new, passionate sensitivity.
Colm Tóibín was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of six novels, including The Blackwater Lightship; The Master, winner of a Los Angeles Times Book Prize; and Brooklyn, winner of a Costa Book Award. Twice shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Tóibín lives in Dublin and New York. His play The Testament of Mary, starring Fiona Shaw, directed by Deborah Warner, and produced by Scott Rudin, opens on Broadway April 29, 2013.
"Tóibín's talent is amazing…a stunning novel."—The Washington Post Book World
"A book of sustained lyrical beauty and power."—Chicago Tribune
"A strong and moving work of fiction about the hard truths of changing one's life. A grand achievement."—Don DeLillo
"Tóibín's first novel is a broad and beautifully worked canvas…an imaginative, deeply felt, and evocative tale."—The Sunday Times

In the euphoria over the surge in China's investment-driven growth announced last week, many forget that there is a real economic cost to excessive infrastructure investment.
Monday, 26 October, 2009, 12:00amThe mainland authorities have revived the economy with trillions of yuan in stimulus spending but it is still in danger of another slowdown next year unless Beijing can promote long-term domestic consumption growth, the chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia said yesterday.
6 Oct 2009 - 12:00amAt the weekend, leaders from the Group of 20 developed and emerging economies promised 'to return the world to high, sustainable and balanced growth'.
Achieving that will entail unwinding the great economic imbalances blamed by many for causing the whole financial crisis.
That means Americans must spend less of their incomes and save a good deal more.
29 Sep 2009 - 12:00amThe eternal debate between China enthusiasts and China sceptics rumbles on. These days the acrimony is centred on Beijing's massive programme of infrastructure spending.
27 Aug 2009 - 12:00amA planned economy can make a truism of the expression 'lies, damn lies and statistics'. National growth targets tend to become local commands. Ambitious officials are tempted to tweak the figures to make themselves look good. Higher-ups may want to adjust them to arrive at a national figure that reflects a desired rate of growth.
6 Aug 2009 - 12:00amMainland statisticians have been steadily earning respect for drawing an increasingly accurate picture of the nation's economic development. That is a marked contrast to six years ago, when 60,000 violations of statistics laws were reported.
30 Dec 2008 - 12:00amForging a stable society is a major task for the leadership in the next three decades
22 Dec 2008 - 12:00amThe mainland's economic growth might slow to less than 9 per cent next year, the smallest gain since 2002, should the government be too timid in using policy measures to fuel growth, economists at the country's top planning body said.
15 Oct 2008 - 12:00amThe likely impact of the global financial crisis on China will loom large at this week's meeting of the Communist Party Central Committee. Agricultural reform, however, is ultimately more important to the country's long-term future. The committee is expected to review an amendment to the land management law that will grant farmers more freedom to transfer non-farming land.
7 Oct 2008 - 12:00amHong Kong workers rank fifth worst on the global work-hours scale. Do you think this is just part of the city's hard-graft culture, or does it ultimately have a negative effect on productivity? Write to us.
21 Jul 2008 - 12:00amFactories shrug off poor demand outlook
Mainland industrial output maintained a healthy growth rate of 16 per cent last month as factories shrugged off increased uncertainty about slowing global consumer demand.
17 Jun 2008 - 12:00amCheung Yan, China's richest woman and chairman of Hong Kong-listed Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings), has marked down her handling of the controversy that erupted last month over her company's labour practices.
19 May 2008 - 12:00amThe mainland's manufacturing activities expanded at the fastest pace on record last month as strong domestic demand helped offset slowing exports.
The purchasing managers' index compiled on behalf of the National Bureau of Statistics jumped to a peak of 59.2 last month from 58.4 in March, the highest since it was launched 28 months ago.
2 May 2008 - 12:00am'The mainland's economy expanded faster than thought last year with the statistics agency raising its estimate for gross domestic product growth to 11.9 per cent from 11.4 per cent.'
SCMP, April 11
15 Apr 2008 - 12:00amGlobal economic uncertainty will retard Hong Kong's economic growth this year, according to economists.
The Asian Development Bank projected yesterday that the city's GDP growth this year would be 4.5 per cent. The University of Hong Kong's Apec Study Centre estimates GDP growth at 4.5 to 5 per cent.
The budget in February forecast growth of 4 to 5 per cent.

Method 2 of 2: Making the Head
1Lay hand towel flat.
2Fold it in half.
3Fold the 'closed' end toward the 'open' end approximately 1/4th of the way.
4Tuck the folded edge under, or fold the towel over.
5Fold the open end to the closed end.
6Hold the corner, pull it up and toward the center. Then, repeat for the opposite end.
7Roll ends to middle.
- Roll the bottom end up.
- While still holding the rolled bottom piece, roll the top half down.
- Roll the bottom end up.
8Turn over.
9Pull the front flaps down. Right flap tucked under, left flap still waiting to be tucked in, forming the "forehead".
10Fold and tuck the left flap.
11Place "head" on "body". Display proudly!Ad
We could really use your help!
t-shirt printing?
puffy eye treatment?
- Roll the towel tightly. Then the dog won't fall apart as easy. Have someone hold the other end or put something heavy on the side you are not rolling.
- Use an extra plush towel for the dog's body; thinner towels don't work as well.
- Try hard to use your imagination to see a dog, because the finished product does not actually look anything like a dog.
Things You'll Need
- A bath towel
- A hand towel (matching, preferably)

I'm pretty sure TF-4 recommends 4 minutes for traditional films and 1.5x that, or 6 minutes for tmax-type films (Tmax, Delta, Acros).
Printable View
Kodak gives very sensible instructions for small tank processing on their web site. It involves intermittent agitation that avoids bubbles in the developer. But, all water has dissolved air in it. And, bubbles arise from water exiting the tap into your sink. Watch for it on film when you wash the film. Tiny bubbles there with no agitation. The idea is to break up those bubbles by using agitation. At least that is one purpose of agitation.
While it isn't perfect, I usually use boiled water to get as much of that air out of the water as possible before I use it. I imagine it helps, but don't really know how to prove it. I know I don't get air bells on my negatives at all, even when I agitate as seldom as every 5 minutes.
I use the straight syrup out of the bottle. 12 mL in 600 mL water, one-shot developer. Inversion that takes 2 sec. to invert and return to upright. Invert 15 times in the first 30 sec. and 5 inversions in 10 sec. at each minute, on minutes one through eight. Pour out developer at 9 minutes development time for TMY-2. I use Indicator Stop then I use Eco Pro fixer for 7 minutes with the same inversions as developing. Works well for what I want. This is for ISO 400.
I'm certain the fix times recommeded for TF4 are intended to be well beyond merely adequate. I standardize on 5 min for all film types, and have no doubt it is more than ample.
Which is what I said, they make recommendations fool proof. Take the fool out of the equation and we are left with a vast range of possibilities, one of which is not to go down that path in the first place because of the possibilites of higher contrast and grain etc. It is eminently easier to increase contrast in a processed low contrast negative than it is to decrease contrast in a high contrast negative. We all should know that a manufacturers recommendations, in this case agitation, are to get a reasonable result most of the time. What I mean about Kodak having an 'aggressive' strategy is because it goes all the way back to the initial exposure, and not many people meter with a grey card nor even have time to make the perfect aperture and speed settings during a frantic attempt to press the shutter and capture the fleeting image. The Kodak times and methods are bred in the Lab, not in response to real life.
Look at the film as it washes. You will see tiny bubbles on the film caused from air entrained in the wash water. This can cause uneven washing with resulting dots of brown from retained hypo. We called it "measles". So, some sort of agitation should be used even in the wash. I just remove the reel from the tank and tap it a few times, then return it to the wash tank. I do this every time I see the bubbles accumulate.
This is not well known.
There was a huge staff of professional photographers at EK when I was there. They did not do lab experiments, they did the type of work, in the field, that any pro did! We had elaborate studios with sets and props and all of the studio lighting equipment you could imagine, and we had labs for them to process and print int.
So, these methods were tried and perfected by true professionals.
I might add that we had a fairly large staff of "Kodak Girls" (and guys) who were used as models both indoors and out.
Thanks for that explanation, Ron. I didn't read your post carefully enough to realize you were talking about washing. I thought it was about development agitation.
The method I use to wash film is with an upright dedicated film washer, where the reels are stacked on top of each other, just like in a developing tank. Extra air is introduced to the wash water, which causes a type of turbulent water flow. No air bubbles accumulate on the film surface in this washer, but I imagine that with plain running water it might.

I did my whole interior with these. Domes, footwells, hatch, rear passenger lamps and license plate. 4 months later and they are still good to go. dont spend crazy amounts of money on interior LED's. These are good.
