Here's What Happens When You Strap a Camera to an Alligator's Head
On first glance, the image to the right looks like an alligator with a laser strapped to its back, which is surely some evil genius's biggest dream. In reality, it's a camera placed there by University of Florida biologists. That may not be as exciting as laser-armed gators, but getting to see a gator-eyed view of the world is pretty neat.
UF biologist James Nifong captured 15 gators throughout the waters of Florida and strapped National Geographic provided cameras to their backs in order to get a better insight into their feeding habits and day-to-day lives.
Here are the results:
As it turns out, most gators live pretty boring lives. Because they're cold-blooded, docile predators who mostly sit and wait around for their prey to come to them the footage caught wasn't exactly blockbuster worthy. Turns out most gators like to hunt at night, and their diet consists of a lot of small prey like fish and frogs instead of larger meals like deer or your neighbor's dog. Yes, they still occasionally eat larger mammals like that, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
They tend to eat something about once every two hours and are twice as successful at catching food in the water rather on land.
Though, mostly they're kind of clumsy, lazy critters. Scientists caught one gator who was missing part of his tail and got so exhausted from swimming in rougher waters that he just passed out at the bottom for a little while to refresh before waking up and starting again.
Ultimately, Nifong and his team hope that the information they've collected will give them more information into how gators interact with their ecosystem.

One of the keys to procrastination (which is a constant whatever the medium you're working in) is looking for inspiration on the internet, and the first such quote comes from Robin Bougie, the guy behind the Cinema Sewer zine (made here in Vancouver, don't click the link if bewbs offend you.)
He branched off from writing about pornography to actually making some, and whatever you may think of that particular genre and his life choices, the fact remains that the fimmaking process is more or less the same for porn as any other kind of movie. He said, in an interview for the Druid Underground Film Festival, that:
"But it made me realize that I prefer comics as a storyteller. It's so much more fulfilling. I get to be the director, actor, producer, cameraman, and my whole budget is the cost of $6 worth of drawing supplies. And better yet, I don't have to rely on anyone else. If you can't afford to pay your cast and crew (and I couldn't), how can you expect them to be as passionate about your project as you are? My cast and crew on a comic is *me*. And all of me is passionate as fuck!"
This is exactly the kind of attitude I'm moving towards. Film is what I grew up with and aspired to, but I could have been working towards a more achievable goal such as writing or learning to draw. As it is I'm trying to make up for lost time, but I'm also finding the experience much more pleasant, because as stated above, I can rely solely on myself to get things done.
Another interesting point, and this applies more to the professional echelons of creative pursuit, is the Jackass Factor. The more money that's involved, the more likely the people involved in that medium will be jerks. Or as author and smart guy Charles Stross once said:
"The prevalence of sociopathy in (the creative) industries scales with the amount of money in play."
Even from my position interviewing creators and others for both Radio Free Skaro and The Electric Playground, I've found this to be the case. Film, television and music people are hit and miss (though I must stress almost everyone involved with Doctor Who has been unusually welcoming and lovely), but generally speaking authors and those in the comic book industry are a pretty humble and approachable bunch. Even at the lower rungs, people tend to look out for one another, which certainly isn't the case with indie film.
What am I hoping to accomplish by writing all this? Nothing beyond actually making a point of writing more on this blog, and also encouraging others to not give up their dreams but to maybe re-orient them towards more achievable (and friendlier!) goals. Or as a friend of mine once said, "getting older makes you sane."
1) writing a story for Seasons of War
2) making a new Bookshelf Doctors comic strip every week
3) trying my hand at standup comedy (!)
As some of you know, I recently wrote "Crowsnest Past" for the Seasons of War anthology, along with assisting with editing chores under grand poobah Declan May. My story was generally well received, amongst the many other excellent tales held within the book, and we're already planning for a second volume of the anthology. So that's a thing.
I've also kept plugging away at Bookshelf Doctors photo comics. I can't draw very well but I do have an obscene number of Doctor Who action dollies taking up space in the tiny library of my condominium, and so I might as well put the little rascals to work amusing myself and, from what I surmise, a few other nerds on the internet.
But the big thing I've been up to is trying my hand at standup comedy. I've been something of an irreverent buffoon my entire life, but up until recently I lacked the gumption to go up on stage and muse publicly on things I find hilarious. Well, I finally decided to prove to myself once and for all that I could do it, and I've attended three open mics so far, with more to come.
I was prepped to receive no laughter whatsoever, and to my surprise I did get a few chuckles. To my further surprise, Vancouver has a very supportive comedy community, and I was soon told by multiple people that my material is very good, I just need to work on my delivery. The only way to do that is to practice and keep practicing, which means getting up on a stage and saying allegedly amusing things. I'm going to keep plugging away. If nothing else, it's an interesting hobby that gets me out into the world.
Finally, expect to see some changes on Freyburg.com in months to come. It was originally conceived more than 10 years ago as a daly blog, but as life and responsibilities have caught up with me I just don't have the time to maintain that schedule. The site will get revamped to showcase my writing, video work, comics and attempts at live hilarity…with some room on the side for blogging. Watch this space.]]>
I wrote a story called "Crowsnest Past" for Seasons of War, the unofficial War Doctor anthology due out early next year. It's got a "young" War Doctor, rural Canada, homicidal robopeople and shotgunning of beer. What more do you want? How about many more stories by incredibly talented writers, all of them devoting their time to a good cause. A big shout out to writer and gentleman Declan May, who has ably shepherded the anthology into its present state and deserves buckets of praise for his tireless work.
The cause in question is the Cauldwell Children, which helps out families of autistic children as well as the kids themselves. The anthology has to date raised over 3,00o pounds, and all of it goes to the charity.
I also wrote a story that appears in Dark Tales from Elder Regions: New York, an anthology of ghoulish and ghastly horror tales set in NYC. My story, "The None Percent," tackles the thorny problem of what an ultra-wealthy Wall Street magnate does with himself once he's shuffled off this mortal coil, and all that's left is his coal-black soul. You can pick up Dark Tales from Elder Regions up now from Amazon or directly from Myth Ink Books.
What else? Well, work continues on Bookshelf Doctors and Master Control, my ode to days gone by in the televisual trade (which is also hosted on the Bookshelf Doctors site). And I have a few more irons in the fire, which I will discuss when they go from "warming up" to "oww, that's scorching."]]>
While I've fallen off the anime train in a big way as time has gone on, it's done my life a lot of good in many ways. People I met decades ago in a dank club room in the Students Union Building at the University of Alberta are still some of my best friends. I've also been to Japan four times and lived there briefly, and that's due to anime in at least some small way. I experienced culture through my circle of friends in Edmonton, one of the most whitebread cities in Canada. I also got to see Spirited Away, widely regarded as one of Miyazaki's best, in a theater in Japan, and indeed knew about the master's works years before he became popular in North America.
One of my favourite anime is Otaku No Video, the thinly veiled story of the rise and fall and rise of Gainax, a fan-run anime company. Being Japanese, anime tends to not bother with irony and satire, but Otaku No Video (gently) gives the genre and the fans both barrels.
Obviously it's somewhat out of date by now, but nerd truths hold true regardless. If you have a couple of hours to spare, give it a watch.
I'm not saying anything that hasn't been discussed to death by others, but Chandler has an amazing gift for turns of phrase. When I started "The Big Sleep," I was struck by the same sensation that I had when I saw John Carpenter's Halloween for the first time, namely that even though I was reading the formative text, I could spot all the cliches of the noir private eye genre in Chandler's work. Of course with both Chandler and Carpenter, it was all new, and it's only the countless rip-offs since that have tainted my perception of the originals.
With all good work, the quality eventually shines through, and it certainly did with "The Big Sleep." It's an expertly concocted evocation of the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles in the late 1930s, with sassy dames, crooked cops and a rumpled but determined everyman sussing out layers of mystery.
The plot, such as it is, exists mostly for Marlowe to cleverly observe the comings and goings around him in a caustic, clipped manner, which is a delight to read. The book is definitely a product of its time, and the women are either femme fatales or bubbly blondes, and gays get treated particularly shabbily.
But despite the incongruity of those attitudes through the lens of the present, it's still a gripping (and quick) read that's worth it just for the brilliant dialogue and descriptions. Though Quentin Tarantino is rightly praised for his dialogue, I've always felt the Coen brothers had him beat, and raading Chandler you can see how their writing has been influenced by his work. The Big Lebowski even lifts quite liberally from Chandler's work.
I can't be anywhere as effusive about "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: Lord Foul's Bane." As part of my quest to read the science fiction and fantasy I missed in my youth, I picked this widey praised tome up and dove in. I'm not quite finished, but I'm scratching my head as to why this book is revered in geek circles.
There's something to be said for an anti-hero, or for a character whose arc goes from reviled to revered. Thomas Covenant starts out as a leper and and outcast in the "real" world, and through a car accident, wizardry, or both, finds himself in a mythical land where he is supposedly the reincarnation of an ancient hero.
I'm willing to go that far with the book, despite the fact that the whole fish-out-of-water/real word to fantasy trope is too cliche for a RPG campaign at this point. I was even up for exploring this new world Covenent finds himself unceremoniously dumped into…until I realized I'd read it all before, and better, in Lord of the Rings.
Lord Foul's Bane isn't an exact ripoff of Fellowship of the Ring, but there are certainly similarities. Noble horse people sorta-kinda wood elves, powers derived from the land, singing and even a ring of power in Covenant's possession. A group of warriors go on a quest, there's a council meeting to decide Covenant's fate and that of the realm…you've seen it all before, and much better.
But where Fellowship had Frodo, a kindly hobbit out of his depth on a quest to vanquish evil, Lord Foul's Bane has….well, an asshole. Covenant starts out completely unsympathetic, self-pitying and rude, and he doesn't change for at least the first 300-odd pages. He may get his act together near the end, and I'm bloody-mindedly plowing through the book to find out how it all comes together, but I don't hold out much hope.
Covenant seems to me to be an embodiment of a particular breed of angry, self-pitying nerd that blames everyone else for his (or her, but mostly his) ineptitude and lashes out whenever shown any kindness. He's an awkward man-baby given what amounts to a fantastical ICBM in the form of the ring, and most of the time he just mopes about it. He's also a novelist before he gets transported to the Land (as the fantasy setting is called in the book), which sounds like a bit of bizarre wish-fulfillment on the part of author Stephen Donaldson.
Oh yes, and Covenant is also (wait for it) a rapist. Apparently this aspect of his character has been hashed out ad infinitum by fandom over the last 30 years, so I won't go into it other than to say any chance of sympathy for his leprous plight went right out the window when he committed one of the most heinous acts imaginable and really wasn't punished at all for it.
It's not the worst written book in the history of swords and elves, but it is wordier than necessary, and feels pretty turgid by today's standards. It may improve near the end (and I have a plane ride shortly to forge my way to the conclusion, so I may update this post once that's happened) but I can't really recommend it.
Up next, "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Leguin and "On Basilisk Station" by David Weber.
The upside of the literary bent of Westercon was that the dealer's room was filled with books, many of them astonishingly cheap. I bought something like thirty paperbacks for around thirty dollars, and I was able to grab many of the sci-fi and fantasy books (classic and otherwise) that I'd missed as a youth.
Buying that stack of books seemed to spark a love of reading fiction which had dimmed considerably in the last few years. I'm also trying to branch out into other forms of fiction besides sci-fi/fantasy such as mysteries and thrillers. If I'm going to write in those genres (and there's no reason to restrict myself when it comes to writing) then I'd better read them as well.
So I started with Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express," which I realized I'd never read. It's one of the biggest sellers in the history of the English language, so clearly I was not paying attention somewhere down the line, but I made amends and plower through it in short order.
"Orient Express" is definitely a product of its time. There's numerous mentions of the hot tempered nature of some of the more..Mediterranean nationalities, and women don't come off looking too great, even though the book is written by Agatha Christie, quite possibly the most successful female author to have ever lived.
I won't say how the book ends, because surely some people are like me and have spent their lives ignorant of the goings-on with Mr. Hercule Poirot, but it struck me as a conclusion that wouldn't wash in today's society.
I'm also reading "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever: Lord Foul's Bane." I'll be honest, it's a bit of a slog. The protagonist is something of a jerk and so far it's, while not a total Tolkien ripoff, it's definitely not unfamiliar with said works.
I'm also reading "London Falling" by Paul Cornell, who was nice enough to give me a copy and sign it when I was last at Gallifrey 2014 in Los Angeles. I'm only 1/3rd through the book, but so far it's an entertaining romp with gangsters and the supernatural clashing in present-day London.
And lest I forget my stack of Westercon goodies, I plowed through "Spock Must Die!," the first Pocket Book Star Trek novel ever made after the original series was cancelled in 1969. It's a good thing I bought it for something like 50 cents, because the newness of the enterprise (heh) certainly shines through. To be fair to James Blish, he only had three seasons of television to go off of, and likely even then was operating more on memory than anything else. But "Spock Must Die" doesn't really feel like Trek at all. Later novels captured the ephemeral feel of the show, but this felt more like a somewhat experimental short story with Trek characters inserted into the plot.
Plenty more books to get through over the next few months, and lots of free evenings to read them, so expect more reports soon!]]>

He got away, but the next guy was the unlucky one. Right as he was about to pass me I flipped backwards, crossed over once toward him and "ooops, Hipcheck."
I ended up with a good bruise on my hip (kinda forgot that my hockey pants have a good hip pad, but my skating shorts didn't) He ended up with a serious case of roadrash on the whole right side up his body. I dont think he ever knew that I did it intentionally, but then again, when you're on a bicycle cutting that close to people on skates its bound to happen. HIPCHECK!

Guadalupe Man Wants $750,000 After Being Run Over by Deputy; Family Members Claim Deputy Also Attacked Them
A Guadalupe man claims a deputy who pulled him over for a burned-out brake light ran over him, then assaulted his family as he lay trapped and screaming beneath a squad car.
These hair-raising details are found in a notice of claim filed last week against Maricopa County, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and one of his deputies, James Carey.
Armando Luis Nido wants $750,000 for his well-documented pain and suffering, plus the civil rights violation. His mother and two brothers are asking for $25,000 each.
It's the latest bad news for the sheriff, who was slammed with an $8 million lawsuit by jail guards and more damning news about the Sheriff's Command Association.
The claim, stamped August 6 by the clerk of the court's office, was written by Robert Ramirez of Miranda, Ramirez and Associates, a Phoenix law firm.
The ugly affair, as Ramirez tells it, unfolded on February 10, 2009 after Carey tried to pull over Nido.
The Guadalupe man was wanting none of it that night -- he claims to have been previously arrested, illegally jailed for three days and "nearly deported" by the sheriff's office, which provides police services for the tiny Valley town. He's a legal resident of the United States, says the claim. Instead of stopping right away, Nido drove home -- never exceeding the speed limit and stopping at all stop signs, writes Ramirez.
Once in front of his residence, he got out of the car... and was promptly run over by Carey's vehicle. Nido was trapped on the right side of the patrol car, the claims says. Here's a sample:
Nido's brother took two pictures of the incident and was allegedly "attacked" by Carey:
The claim goes on to detail Nido's injuries, which included severe road rash (he needed a skin graft on his butt), plus fractures of his ribs, pelvis and tailbone. The sheriff's office version of events might differ dramatically from Nido's, but it'll be hard to argue with the medical reports Nido racked up.
If we had to bet at this first blush, we'd put our money on the guy with the screws and skin grafts.
UPDATE: October 6, 2010 -- Nido wins $600,000 in settlement with the county.

Fitness can be bad for your health
Relevant offers
Thinking of giving fitness trends CrossFit or Zumba a go? You might be better off staying on the couch.
CrossFit and Zumba have exploded in popularity around the globe with millions of people tackling CrossFit's high-intensity training or Zumba's high-intensity dance workout in pursuit of a body beautiful or just to be fit.
But should these fitness fads, or just heading to the gym come with a health warning?
New statistics from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) show a staggering rise in the number of claims from injuries Kiwis have suffered while exercising.
In 2013 ACC handled 23,325 claims made by Kiwis who were injured while "fitness training" or in the gym, data released to the Sunday Star-Times shows.
This was a rise of about 10,000 claims on the previous two years.
The jump has prompted ACC and industry body Exercise New Zealand to launch a research programme into why workouts are doing us harm.
On average, ACC spends about $330 million on sport and recreation claims annually. In 2013 gym and fitness injuries were the third highest total of claims for injuries in the sport and recreation sector behind rugby and football.
Exercise New Zealand chief executive officer Richard Beddie said there had been a 35 per cent increase in people undertaking exercise programmes in the past five years.
"We don't actually know for certain why this is happening but we have some ideas, and we want to test them before leaping into solutions."
In January this year it was reported a US CrossFit athlete, Kevin Ogar, was paralysed from the waist down when he severed his spine attempting to complete a heavy weight lifting technique called a snatch.
Les Mills' globally successful BodyPump class has also had its share of injuries.
Its instructors are warning members not to pack up and put weights away while the class is still running after a weight was dropped on someone lying down, the Sunday Star-Times has been told.
National health and safety regulator Worksafe New Zealand received 12 complaints related to gym operations in 2013 and a further 15 in 2012.
The 2012 complaints include an incident at a BodyPump class where someone was "poked in the eye" with a weight by another user.
Les Mills human resources manager Marilyn Manning said from January to March this year there have been four injuries related to weights in its gyms with two in BodyPump classes.
Manning said Les Mills took health and safety seriously including appointing an external health and safety expert to review its systems, policies and practices to identify gaps or improvements.
Beddie said he was still working through the detail with ACC on how the research programme will unfold but it should begin in June.
They will discuss with gyms why they think there are more injuries and investigate accident log books at gyms to get a clearer picture.
Once ACC and Exercise NZ have the findings they can then put together a programme to help bring injuries down, he said.

John Erck
Senior Director of Development & External Relationships
University of Arkansas Walton College of Business
Age: 39
John Erck
Several years ago, John Erck's then 5-year-old son, Jack, was asked to explain what his dad did for a living. "He goes and meets with people and asks them for money," Jack said. "Then he brings some home to us."
Erck actually does something close to that as the senior director of development for the University of Arkansas' Walton College of Business. Erck heads the college's $225 million fundraising campaign.
He comes to the position with plenty of experience. Erck served three years with the university's Athletics Department, where he helped raised the funds to build a $40 million football center. "Higher education has a lot more complexity than athletics," Erck said. "My role raising money for the football center is something I'm proud of. I'm proud of being able to take on the tough ones. I can get them to give."
Erck and his wife have two daughters in addition to his son. His daughter Ava was born with hyperinsulinism, which caused doctors to remove 95 percent of her pancreas and gave Erck a greater appreciation for charitable donations to health foundations and the Ronald McDonald House. "If I'm ever in the position of the people I call, that's where my money would go," Erck said. "That was a life-saver for her."

Super Rugby
The Blues first away win in 16 months still leaves them on borrowed time, but New Zealand's original Super Rugby standard bearer at least kept their slender title hopes alive by ending the Western Force's five-match unbeaten streak in Perth.
Needing to win their three remaining games when the competition resumed after the June test window, the Blues cleared the first obstacle at nib Stadium with a stylish 40-14 - victory that boosts them from 10th to eighth at the close of an abbreviated round.
The inclusion of six All Blacks involved in the clean-sweep over England earlier this month easily counteracted the return of a half dozen Force personnel from injury - including former All Black halfback Alby Mathewson.
A coveted four-try bonus point enhanced the Blues first win on Australian soil since 2012 - and first road win since beating the Hurricanes at Westpac Stadium on February 23 last year.
The Blues focus is now on their remaining games against the Crusaders and Chiefs, plus other outcomes, as they strive to sneak into the finals for the first time since 2011.
On the strength of last night's performance they could be a dangerous opponent should they make the cut - the test break was hardly detrimental as the Blues produced a fine all-round effort to increase their point tally to 36.
"Everyone knows we've struggled away for a year and a bit. It was good just to start well," said Blues captain Luke Braid.
"We got some points on the board, the boys felt comfortable and we got into the Blues rhythm and started playing rugby."
The Force were condemned to catch up mode from just the 18th minute - a scenario that doesn't suit their no frills game plan - after the Blues made a scintillating start with a scoring blitz that should have the Crusaders nervous ahead of Saturday's clash in Christchurch.
Four sparkling tries inside the opening quarter had the bonus point locked down as Ihaia West, Charlie Faumuina, Lolagi Visinia and Ma'a Nonu capitalised on a totally dominant performance by the Blues loose trio.
Rookie first five-eighth West crossed in the fifth minute after Visinia chipped ahead after halfback Bryn Hall found the fullback with an astute cross kick; Faumuina was unstoppable from close range once former teammate Alby Mathewson had a clearance charged down, then a Steven Luatua turnover set Visinia's straight burst to the corner in motion.
Nonu, easily the most experienced member of the Blues exciting back division completed the bonus point -yielding play when he brushed aside Sias Ebersohn and Jayden Hayward, to set the scene for a potential rout.
However, the Force dominated the remainder of the half territorially and possession-wise yet had no tangible reward at the break thanks to a defensive effort from the Blues that proved they were unwilling to rest on their laurels.
The Force enjoyed 95 per cent of possession for a 10-minute period but were unable to crack a resolute - and occasionally borderline - alignment that drew a warning from Australian referee Rohan Hoffman at the half hour mark.
Undeterred, the Blues continued to frustrate the Force at close quarters while the damage was also self-inflicted as botched lineouts, scrum infringements and lax ball security dashing any hopes of a comeback.
The Blues 26-point advantage was their biggest lead at halftime since 2008 and although Tom Donnelly was sacrificed in the 47th minute after Hoffman finally tired of the visitors' indiscretions they scored their fifth try - to skipper Luke Braid - while a man down.
Blindside flanker Luatua, who is seeking to rediscover the form that earned him All Black status last year, opened the second half with a turnover to encapsulate the Force's woes - and the Blues' strength - while Jerome Kaino was also impressive during his 56-minute shift.
Nonu was also rested soon after with the result beyond doubt but the bench maintained the Blues high standards although hooker Nathan Charles broke the Force's duck in the 65th minute, a consolation try that raised the biggest cheer since cult hero Nick Cummins - a late withdrawal with a neck injury - was shown on the big screen.
The Force will be hoping the Wallabies wing is available to face the Reds next Saturday, where a drastic improvement is required if they are to qualify for the play-offs for the first time since joining the competition in 2006.
Centre Pita Ahki raised the possibility of the Blues record a their biggest winning margin against the Force, but in the final minute replacement forward Brynard Stander ensured a 31-point loss in their first ever game remains the low point.
Blues 40 (Ihaia West, Charlie Faumuina, Lolagi Visinia, Ma Nonu, Luke Braid, Pita Ahki tries; West 5 con) Western Force 14 (Nathan Charles, Brynard Stander tries; Jayden Hayward 2 con). HT: 26-0

Facebook agrees to buy Oculus for $2 billion (U.S.)
|Report an Error
Share via Email
SAN FRANCISCO—Facebook Inc. said it will buy virtual-reality technology company Oculus VR Inc. for about $2 billion (U.S.), in its first push into mobile hardware.
The deal includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million Facebook shares, as well as an additional $300 million if the acquisition achieves certain milestones, the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company said in a statement Tuesday. Oculus, based in Irvine, Calif., makes a ski-goggles-like device that people wear to play games and access other immersive virtual-reality experiences.
Facebook is building its mobile business with acquisitions as the more than 1.2 billion members of the world's largest social network increasingly use the service through smartphones and tablets. The company purchased mobile photo-sharing application Instagram in 2012 for about $700 million and last month agreed to buy mobile messaging app WhatsApp Inc. for about $19 billion.
The deal pushes Facebook into the wearable-technology market, where it will compete with Google Inc.'s Glass, which are spectacles that have smartphone capabilities. The Oculus product could become the basis of a communications platform, letting people watch games courtside, consult with doctors or take online courses, chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on Facebook.
"Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow," Zuckerberg said. "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."
Oculus has raised more than $91 million, including a $75 million round led by Andreessen Horowitz in December and $2.5 million of preorders from a campaign on crowdfunding website Kickstarter in 2012.
Most of Oculus's 100 employees work in Orange County, Calif., in an office park that's festooned with old game controllers and models of alien creatures.
The Oculus team met with Facebook executives a few months ago in Southern California, and discussions evolved into "an even deeper vision of creating a new platform for interaction that allows billions of people to connect in a way never before possible," Oculus said in a blog post.
