|Branded to Kill
Seijun Suzuki (Japan, 1967)
(Koroshi no rakuin). Hanada Goro, "Number 3 Killer," is hired by gang boss Yabuhara to undertake a mission fraught with danger, while Yabuhara busies himself with Hanada's wife. Three assassinations later, the sharpshooting but insecure No. 3 (Jo Shishido) would seem to be moving up on the menu until he bungles a shoot because a butterfly settles on his telescopic sight. Branded to Kill goes all the way with Seijun Suzuki's brand of eroticism and cruel humor, much of it at the expense of the hero. Hanada, for example, is able to become sexually aroused only when sniffing boiling rice, while his relationship with the missus is more like high stakes than high times. Then there's the true love interest, a female straight out of Detour who travels light, with white convertible, portable rainstorm, and death wish. "Things happen" is the conclusion of this absurdist thriller from Nikkatsu studio's enfant terrible–in-residence.
—Judy Bloch
• Written by Hachiro Guryu. Photographed by Kazue Nagatsuka. With Jo Shishido, Mariko Ogawa, Annu Mari, Koji Nanbara. (91 mins, In Japanese with English subtitles, B&W, 'Scope, 35mm, Permission Janus Films/Criterion Collection)

The unresolved thoughts create a death wish and a burden. The worm continues to burrow, deep into the recesses of the brain, until those painful memories and thoughts control and dictate every thought process that you undergo. It won't let go. It will hang on and it refuses to die. It takes such violent revolt to overthrow its cold grasp on the possibility of progression. It is unrelenting, and without it destiny is only a depressing process.
With all the faces you see, with all the recommendations and the crowds and the possibilities, where does the flood of memories cease? You wish that, you wanted that. With this person, you hoped for this. You wanted this person to do that. Each set of eyes unknowingly provides a backdrop and a story.
The days become short, and the night becomes long. Shadow overtakes reality. The lines blur, and all that's left is the shell of what was meant to be something else. Influenced by society. Controlled by the worm. Its clenches aren't going to release those thoughts. It isn't going to let you work through them. It doesn't budge.
You reach your hands out, to grasp a hand, and all that you are met with is the ghostly remnants of regret and illusion. It withers away before your very eyes into a wisp of hazed smoke. Life is a torrent of repeated occurrences. Then you look down at your own clenched fist, and you try to pry your fingers out of it. But they won't move. They've been manipulated, force-fed into this position.
If there was a way to redefine those outlines, and color them with reality, you would. The worm wants you to compromise your future so you'll be content with disregard and apathy. What simplicity it is to maintain that the names carved on your arm will be looked upon forever. Every time you try to blot them out, every time you scratch at them, they only bleed and scar. They're completely annihilated, and yet they won't die.
What, then, do you sacrifice? Underneath the gun, you simply quiver in fear. Yet you still don't know how to fight what always has been. Your mind doesn't look beyond that. It only looks at the destructive sequence. What had the possibility to become something prolific has twisted and converted itself at the whim of the worm. Don't let it die…kill it mercilessly…thought, release. Brainwash, release.
The holes are getting wider and deeper. You can't ignore the shadows anymore. The past, the former, can't bear the latter. The worm will flourish. It will dominate. It is bent on the path of destruction. The limbs shake, the heart grows cold. You try to rage against the dying light, like you were told. But how do you fight? How, indeed?
They only doubt. You can burn the images into their minds, just as the worm has done to yours, and yet they will refuse to accept your condition. The understanding of another becomes more impossible than defeating the worm itself. They only contribute. How can they help? Humanity is the reason the worm made its way there in the first place. Without conflict, it cannot survive. Yet you are still feeding it. You are still looking for influence.
Then you deny your own intent. Unjustification. You're waiting, wishing, hoping still. Then you hear the grinding and mashing of memory into present, and you feel the worm. You can't postpone any longer. This isn't about anyone else. This is your battle. It's time to plow through the thoughts, and meet them where they don't expect you to show up at. By the time it's over, the worm will have been attacked from behind before it can even come to terms with what's happened.
It's eaten those memories. You hold its squirming and reluctant body in your hand, and you feel the sudden burst of difficulty as it makes one final attempt to assail you with those hauntings and images. The onslaught is blinding. Your fist has made its way open, it's broken through its prison of thought-binding. Devastation, but now reform.
The worm lays there, full of its undead fury. Then, the fingers contract, the fingers close, the fingers smash, the fingers cripple. Silence. Clarity overwhelms. It's so bright, you don't understand it. But all that you know is that a corpse now lays where torture once assaulted. The pulses of hatred and disgust are no longer flowing.
And before you can look upon it in any further disgust, the Bird comes. You were looking for the Bird the whole time, and it was waiting for the moment. It heard your beseeching cries of horror, and it stood by. It deftly swoops in, and pulls the worm right out of your still-clenched hand. You stand aghast, and then open you hand again to find that its slime is there. The Bird flies over, and it disappears. The graceful wings have wiped it away.
The presence of the Bird still lingers in your mind, even after it has flown away. Now you realize that only one worm is illogical. It is chasing after the others. They will all die one day. You are sure of it. You are ready now to go show the names on your arms to others, the crimson scars still seeping. Your resolution is now going to be the story that the worm will fight even harder against. But there's nothing it can do now. The light has gathered again in your eyes. It is there to stay in twinkling eternal bliss.

Undisputedly the dominant visual theme of our time, the cartoon image is usually exalted and treated with a special reverence in the vast realm of modern Pop art, but artist JOYCE PENSATO's urgent cartoon attacks in the show of force that is her "The Eraser" exhibition currently on display at Chelsea's FRIEDRICH PETZEL GALLERY paint a much darker picture. Treating her charactersâ€â€from Felix to Cartmanâ€â€with a brush driven by a frenzied energy, the artist seeks to distill these American icons to their most basic elements, stripping them of their glossy countenances until they reach a state of decidedly uncharacteristic anxiety using a visceral technique recalling the fervent movement of Abstract Expressionism. All artspeak aside, it's a phenomenal exhibit by an often-overlooked artist that should not be missed. HAVE A LOOK:

Desoto School Reviews
I started sending my daughter to desoto when the surrounding public schools quality were starting to drop considerably. She was a middle-schooler so I was worried she wouldn't fit in. Man was I wrong! The students accepted her almost immediately and she loved all her teachers! I would highly recommend desoto over the surrounding public and private schools because the class sizes are small which means your child will get one on one time with their teachers, the athletics department is great, the have updated technology so your child gets the best learning experience, and is just an overall great school!

Hyannis Mets
From BR Bullpen
- Location: Hyannis, MA
- League: Cape Cod Baseball League
- Stadium: McKeon Field
[edit] Team Bio
The Hyannis Mets are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team playing in the Cape Cod Baseball League, considered by many to be the nation's premier summer collegiate baseball league. The Mets, founded in 1976, play their home games at McKeon Field in Hyannis, MA. Like other summer college baseball teams, the Hyannis Mets are dedicated and designed to provide minor league-style competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball and routinely send players to the MLB Drafts. The Hyannis Mets operate in the model of an Independent Minor League team: recruiting athletes, playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment, and experiencing road trips between games. Like all other summer collegiate players, the Hyannis Mets are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
- Like All Cape Cod Baseball League Games, Hyannis Mets games arefree to the public. A donation can be offered at the gate.

For everybody fighting with occasional clipping (or perfectionists wanting to test everything) you should try the attached sample, udial.
Your output can occasional clip without you knowing/hearing it. But for us perfectionists this will theoretically give a better quality output.
ATTENTION: Play this sample at a low volume anytime, even if you hear nothing special! It can be very harmful to equipment and/or your ears.
It's strongly recommended to use some very cheap (PC) speakers if you want to test this,
otherwise you might really ruin your tweeters (it has happened several times already).

Tuesday April 19, 2005Gator Baseball Falls to No. 14 FSU, 4-2
Tallahassee, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Senior Gibbs Chapman snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-run double in the fifth inning to lift No. 14 Florida State to a 4-2 victory over No. 5 Florida in front of 5.045 fans at Dick Howser Stadium on Tuesday night. Chapman (2-for-4) also belted a solo homer in the first inning to help the Seminoles (34-11) avenge a 9-2 loss to the Gators (27-10) on March 30.
Freshman Ryne Jernigan provided FSU some insurance run in the eighth with a two-out solo homer off junior Darren ODay (Jacksonville, Fla.). Sophomore Bryan Henry (3-2) allowed two runs on eight hits over a career-high 7.1 innings before sophomore Tyler Chambliss closed out the ninth to earn his 11th save.
In the top of the first, sophomore Adam Davis (Fort Myers, Fla.) drew a two-out walk from Henry, the first free pass issued by the right-hander in 20.2 innings. After taking second on a balk, Davis swiped his team-leading 17th stolen base in 20 attempts. However, Henry popped up sophomore Matt LaPorta (Port Charlotte, Fla.) in foul territory to strand his teammate.
Chapman staked the Seminoles to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the inning by sending a 2-0 offering from freshman Tommy Wynn (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) over the fence in right. It was his team-leading sixth home run and came with two out.
FSU had a pair of runners in scoring position in the second stanza but Wynn worked out of the jam. Senior Daniel Wardell and sophomore Josh Spivey delivered consecutive one-out singles and moved over on a balk by the hurler. The right-hander struck out freshman Tony Thomas Jr. on a 3-2 pitch and then induced a ground ball from sophomore Shane Robinson that junior shortstop Justin Tordi (Orlando, Fla.) scooped up and fired over to first.
The Gators tied the score in the third on a two-out double by Davis that plated junior Stephen Barton (Miami, Fla.). Barton had sliced a single into right field and sophomore Gavin Dickey (Tallahassee, Fla.) walked with two outs. Following an intentional walk to LaPorta that loaded the bases, Henry had sophomore Brian Leclerc (Clearwater, Fla.) tap the next pitch to the first baseman for the third out.
Senior Jeff Corsaletti (Port Charlotte, Fla.) punched a one-out single into left center in the fifth and stole second with two out for his eighth theft of the year. Soon after, Henry sat down Davis for his fifth strikeout. In the bottom of the inning, Wynn walked Robinson on four pitches with one out and was replaced by senior Mike Pete (Brandon, Fla.). The rookie right-hander worked a career-high 4.1 innings, giving up four hits and two runs with three walks and three strikeouts.
On Petes second pitch, sophomore Ryne Malone pounded a double off the screen in right to give the Seminoles runners on second and third. Chapman followed with a ground-rule double that bounced over the center field wall to give Florida State a 3-1 lead. A wild pitch by Pete pushed Chapman to third and the southpaw struck out senior Aaron Cheeseman before being replaced by senior Connor Falkenbach (Parkland, Fla.). The sidearm specialist fanned junior pinch hitter Brandon Manasa to hold UFs deficit at two runs.
LaPorta opened the sixth with an infield and freshman Brandon McArthur (Seffner, Fla.) extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a one-out chopper into left. Sophomore Brian Jeroloman (Wellington, Fla.) grounded into a 4-6-3 double rally to snuff out a potential rally.
Tordi led off the seventh with his eighth double down the left-field line and Barton laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance his teammate to third. Henry retired Corsaletti on an infield fly and Dickey ripped an RBI single up the middle to narrow the gap to 3-2. During Davis at bat, Dickey was thrown out attempting to take second base.
Davis legged out a bunt to begin the eighth before LaPorta flew out deep to left field, ending Henrys tenure on the mound. Davis moved into scoring position with his second stolen base of the night before junior Matt DiBlasi had Leclerc pop out to right, advancing Davis to third. Senior Kevin Lynch came out of the bullpen and had McArthur fly out to center to keep the hosts ahead.
With a league-best 10-5 mark, the Gators resume Southeastern Conference action on Friday when they meet No. 23 Auburn (25-14/8-7 SEC) in the opener of a three-game series. The contest from Plainsman Park will begin at 8 p.m. ET and air live in Gainesville on Cox Sports.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) -- The Miami Heat got off their charter plane Monday night and were greeted by a junkanoo band, and have been treated like royalty since arriving in the Bahamas.
That is, until coach Erik Spoelstra got things going at the first practice of the season Tuesday morning.
With two basketball courts and temporary lights strung in a cavernous hotel ballroom, the Heat got their season started with a workout that lasted about two hours. Predictably, the Heat did not do one offensive drill, with the focus entirely on defense.
Spoelstra says he cannot believe how well things came together logistically for this camp. Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade also raved about the setup.

It's no secret that I'm kind of obsessed with freezer paper stencils. So far, I've created a nautical, anchor-stenciled boat bag and some adorable onesies, but I'm not done yet. This week, I'm turning this cute cloud-and-raindrop stencil into a sweet summer dress.
If you're new to this adaptable technique, prepare to be smitten. To get started, simply print or cut out the design of your choice, then affix it to fabric or clothing with an iron. Then, paint on fabric paint, let dry and peel away the stencil. The result? The look of a custom screen print in a fraction of the time. Watch this week's video to learn more about the process:
Pretty cute, eh? I used a patterned cotton dress for this project, but it would look equally cute on a shirt, table runner or set of white cotton napkins. Download the stencil here to get started with your own design! If you'd like a longer pattern, pair the cloud and raindrop stencil with this extra set of raindrops.
Tell me, have you tried freezer paper stencils? Where would you use this cute cloud-and-raindrop design?

Review: Could Morlack be the funkiest man to ever have come out of France? Quite possibly. Listen to the Troutman-meets-Biggie EP title track and you'll see where we're coming from. A juicy jacking throwback to the '80s and '90s it's a one-way-ticket to Party Central. And there's no turning back. "Funky Thing" meanwhile takes a Meters-esque refrain from The Unemployed and throws in a bunch of chicken noises and series of soaking wet basses to great effect. Elsewhere we're bombarded by synth swoonery and old school hip-hop on "Hit Directly" while "In Brasilia" showcases Morlack's penchant for disco.

Review: Latin-obsessed Viennese radio DJ Herbert Bachofer, aka Shantisan, presented us with his single Avenida Atlantica back in March. Now he's back with full-length debut LP, Conexao, boasting 19 tracks to sink your teeth into. It covers a wide breadth of global styles and influences - including Bachofer's own bossa nova horn-fest remix of "Control Of Your Mind" by Carlos Reisch, his Chic-esque rework of "Favela Funk" and the summery party vibes of "Meninas & Meninos" which boasts the additional talents of Micheline Cardoso, Luiz Antonio Gomes and Stefan Obermaier. An impressive debut.

Fried Eggs Recipe
5 1
If you're watching calories, fry eggs in a nonstick pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs
- In a 7- or 8-in. skillet or omelet pan, melt butter over medium heat. Break eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer, then gently slide into the pan. Immediately reduce heat to low. Cook slowly until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken.
- For eggs sunny-side up, cover pan and cook until yolks thicken, but are not hard. For basted eggs, spoon butter in pan over eggs while cooking. For over-easy eggs, carefully turn eggs to cook both sides but do not cover pan. Yield: 2 servings.

After working for several years, Larry returned to college for a Forestry degree at North Carolina State University and a graduate degree in Recreation Management at the University of Montana. Larry's interest in birds came late in life while working for the BLM in the Birds of Prey area. As the area's first park ranger, he started an education program for the NCA in 1994 that includes presentations with live raptors. These birds all have permanent injuries which mean they can't be released back into the wild but their injuries do not diminish their impact on people. Larry still helps visitors to the NCA learn many things about birds of prey and to appreciate how awesome and important raptors are.
Larry lives in Boise and is married with two girls, 17 and 10 years old, three cats, a frog, a rabbit, and six bird feeders in the back yard.

Q: A friend told me that my holly is a female plant and I need a male one to get berries. Please explain.
A: Your friend is right. Hollies (Ilex spp.) are dioecious, meaning that the male and female flowers occur on separate plants. Generally all female plants produce berries, while male plants do not. In order for pollination of a female plant to occur, you need at least one male plant within close proximity. Keep in mind that one male plant can pollinate several female plants.
Pollination will occur through the transport of pollen by bees and other insects from the male plant to the female.
Your friend may be correct that you have a female plant, but determining the sex of a holly can be difficult prior to blooming. The best way to determine the sex of holly plants is to examine the flowers. The small clusters of creamy white flowers are located between the leaf and branch joint. Although the flowers are similar in appearance, the male plants have more prominent stamens than the female plants.
Synchronization of flowering of both female and male plants is important so that pollen is available at the same time the female flowers are open. Male and female plants of the same species or similar cultivars (cultivated varieties) are needed to produce abundant berries.
Male cultivars are now available that bloom at the same time as their female counterpart. Your local nursery can provide information on the best male cultivar for pollinating your holly.

With Florida being one of the key battleground states for the race for the White House, voters are getting out and making their voices heard at local polling locations.In Orlando, voters were waiting in excess of two hours to cast their votes.
When asked about the long lines, Bruce Miller, 56, a local artist at a theme park said, "It's never been this crowded at this precinct. Long lines are something you have to endure and talk to your neighbors in line and try to pass time."
With only one previous election under his belt, Jason Crawford, 22, an Orlando photographer will cast a vote in his second presidential election. Living in Florida there has been no shortage of campaigning and negative campaign advertisements on television, radio, and billboards.
"I think the young voters are very important because as young people, we will be shaping the future of the country," said Crawford.
The Hispanic vote in Florida will also play a key role in impacting the 2012 presidential election and 29 electoral votes that goes to the candidate who wins Florida. In Central Florida, Sandra Gonzalez, 51, a physical education teacher said,"The Hispanic vote is very important and with a growing Hispanic population, our voices have become louder and louder."
It dosen't appear that either candidate will run away with Florida. The winner will be decided by a small voter margin rather than a landslide.

McMillan to make his own name at Challenge
Dallas Jackson
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
MORE: Five-Star Challenge | Underclassmen Challenge
As one of just 20 players from the Class of 2014 selected to participate in the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge the writing is on the wall that Raekwon McMillan is bound to be one of the highest ranked prospects when his class comes through its evaluation next season.
For McMillan, that may be too long to wait.
"I don't want to be the best linebacker in my class," he said. "I want to be the best linebacker in the country right now."
The accolades are important to the Hinesville (Ga.) Liberty County inside linebacker and he feels that his chance to take on the best players in the nation from June 22-24 at Atlanta's Lakewood Stadium will be a chance to take the next step in the process.
A step, he says, that involves getting out of the shadow of the current No. 2 player in the nation, Alabama-bound Reuben Foster.
"He is a beast and an awesome player but I am not the guy in the background, I am not the next Rueben Foster. I want to make sure that is known."
McMillan said that he and Foster have participated in two camps together, once at a Georgia camp and once at a NIKE camp, and that while the two are not friends they were friendly.
"We talked," McMillan said. "He was a good person, in my opinion, but me being behind him in every article is getting a little old."
McMillan stands 6 feet 3 and weighs 235 pounds. Foster is a 6 feet 2 and 228 pound player. Each will be at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge.
McMillian said that his goal at the event isn't just to measure up to Foster but cement his status among the elite players in the country.
"I want to make sure I am a lock for the Top 10 in my class," he said. "It is very important to me to be recognized because it has always been a dream of mine since I was little to put my hometown on the map and show younger kids that you can be the best no matter where you are from."
The rise to the top is picking up fast for McMillan and a recent trip to WalMart showed the prospect that with the exposure responsibility follows.
"I had a lady ask for an autograph and a picture with me," McMillan said. "She told me that I was a blessing to her and her family. It was a little weird for me, I am just a sophomore with 11 offers not a millionaire but it felt good that people know me and support me and have high hopes for me just like I do."
The hopes for him inside the community are held in even higher standing at home where McMillan said his mother keeps him grounded, daily.
"I get the same speech everyday from her," he said. "I have to keep my grades up, not be boastful, and not mess up.
"My mom is hard on grades, if I drop below a 3.0 I will have to quit playing football. She takes education very seriously and she makes sure I am humble."
It is the humility that was put on the backburner as McMillan talked about his future.
"I am an energetic guy," he said. "So I get excited when I do talk about football and my future and my goals. But I have to be mindful to carry myself the way my mom wants me to represent our family and there are days that I won't talk about football all day unless someone asks me.
"If they ask me? I tell them I want to be the best."
Mike Farrell's take
McMillan is a ball of fury on film and is so good at reading angles, shooting the gap, and running down plays to the outside that he will cover a lot of ground at the event. He also has a chip on his shoulder and is tired of being compared to Reuben Foster so by playing on the same team in the same linebacker group, he can try to separate himself from the nation's No. 2 player and show his own strengths. He is arguably a top 10 player in the class of 2014 and this could be his way of cementing five star status of his own down the line when we rank the 2014 class. I really like the speed and quickness he shows as such a huge linebacker for his age.

Some of you will be pleased to know they aren't the real-live kind, though I do have pet rats, but that's another story…
The creative gene probably came to me via my Mother, who has been making things for years, even when she was quite a young child, and her Mother did also. She is a fantastic knitter, she could probably do things in her sleep, and her current thing to make is mice. The highly cute kind.
Here's some pictures of the first batch (or at least most recent, she has made them before) and I persuaded her to make little Halloween version too. She gets patterns, and then adapts them, and makes different clothes etc.
Please note, that I didn't inherit the knitting gene sadly, I am rubbish.

The Thursday wrap
The big guns of big liberalism are using Hurricane Sandy to make big, bogus and politicized arguments for an even larger federal government. "A big storm requires big government," blared a New York Times editorial even before the storm had run its course on Tuesday. Of course, it was a setup to bash Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for supposedly wanting to gut FEMA. Actually, he wants to streamline FEMA and give more direct control to the states to make its response to disasters more effective. And never mind that it's Barack Obama who, in his fiscal 2013 budget, actually proposed cutting the federal disaster agency's budget by more than $10 billion. But, hey, why let the facts get in the way of promoting the failed president you've endorsed, right? ... Never mind that the United States government has a Department of Commerce, Mr. Obama says he'll create even more bureaucracy in a second term by creating a Cabinet-level Department of Business. Why doesn't Obama simply name it for what he intends it to be — Department of National Industrial Policy, charged with the fatal conceit of further commanding the economy from his central government gun turret? ... Taxpayers, courtesy of the Department of Energy, spent about $300,000 for each of the 400 jobs "created" by the now bankrupt A123 Systems electric-car battery company, reports The Washington Times. It is the sad essence of the failure of command economics in general and Obamanomics in particular.

PGA Tour first for tourney's big draws
One week after he won for the third time this season, Tiger Woods gets a rare weekend off.
Woods missed the cut in the Greenbrier Classic by a stroke Friday, following an opening 71 with a 69 to finish at even par in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. He missed a cut for only the ninth time in his PGA Tour career, and for the third time in a tournament following a victory.
Phil Mickelson also failed to advance to weekend play, the first time Woods and Mickelson have missed the cut in the same tournament as professionals.
Mickelson shot his second straight 71.
After winning Sunday at Congressional, Woods was on a course he'd never seen before.
"I didn't quite have it," Woods said. "I drove it really good today and I just did not have the feel for the distances. The ball was just going forever. I know we're at altitude, but I just couldn't get the ball to hit pin high no matter what I did, and subsequently, I made some bogeys."
U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson topped the leaderboard at 9-under when play was suspended because of darkness in the round that was delayed because of rain.
Simpson made a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-3 18th for a 4-under-66.
A dozen players were unable to complete the round.
Mickelson had focused more on golf at this year's tournament after taking advantage of the resort's numerous amenities with his family last year. The result was the same.
"I really enjoy the golf course," he said. "I don't get it. I mean, I certainly struggled a little bit on the greens both years, but nothing that should have led to these scores."
He has gone seven consecutive rounds over par.
Wie contends in Open
Even as she climbed into the lead in the second round of the U.S. Women's Open, Suzann Pettersen took some time to admire Michelle Wie's big move into contention.
Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wis., and moved to 5 under for the tournament. But Wie was even better on the day, carding a 6-under 66 to reach 4 under and put herself in position to break out of a season-long slump.
Wie was tied with Cristie Kerr, the 2007 Open winner, one stroke off the lead.
"She was fist-pumping, every putt she looked at," Pettersen said.
Wie said she doesn't spend much time thinking about the attention she received as a high-profile child prodigy in the early 2000s, or whether some fans had written her off since then.
"I don't know if anyone gave up on me or not," Wie said. "I'm sure some did and some didn't. But I never gave up on myself, and today was a good reminder to myself that I can do (it) and I still have it."
Seventeen-year-old Lexi Thompson shot a 73 to top the group at 1-under. Top-ranked Yani Tseng was 2- over after a 72.
Cook tops First Tee
John Cook closed with a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 ninth hole at Del Monte for a 5-under 67 and a share of the lead with 62-year-old Tom Kite in the First Tee Open on the Monterey Peninsula.
Kite also opened at Del Monte. He won the 1983 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am and 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the site of his final two rounds in the Champions Tour event.
Cook won the 1981 Crosby for the first of his 11 PGA Tour titles.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Family members knew someone had helped save Eddie Capps the day he got hit by a car on San Pablo Road, but they never thought they would know who.
Now, the Capps hope to thank the men in person.
"I was so excited and the first thing I thought was I want to call them," said Capps' longtime girlfriend, Gayle Schultz.
Schultz heard about the two Navy rescue swim instructors because of a story about the pair.
AWS2 Frank Christian and STG1 Joseph Cowan saw the accident happen and immediately ran to help Capps, keeping him alive until EMS could arrive.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," gushed Schultz. "Thank you so much from all of us - his children and myself - we thank you so much. Thank you for taking the time to help him."
Schultz said Capps was in a medically induced coma for two weeks, but is now staring to progress. He spoke his first words Wednesday, she said.
Family members said Capps still has a lot of recovering to do and are hoping to raise money to cover some of his medical expenses by hosting a fundraiser on August 27.

Cheah Si Hock Haw Kong Kongsi
An active clan temple
What we say:
It's a mouthful of a name, but the Cheah Si Hock Haw Kong Kongsi (most refer to it as Cheah Kongsi) on Lebuh Armenian enjoys a very active clan association, which was originally formed in 1820. This makes it the oldest of the Straits Chinese clan associations. Once you pass its red painted cobblestone walkway, the kongsi opens up into a small garden. Find the small entrance to the main temple through a portal with mythical creatures decorating it.

An amazingly ambitious film, the Attack, reaches for a larger statement beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an intriguing, multi-layered story concerned with identity on a personal level. It seems a challenge to transcend a historic conflict by focusing on a private relationship, but by sticking with close human relations and using an intimate style of shooting, somehow director Ziad Doueiri succeeds. Though set against a backdrop of more than 2,000 years of conflict and the baggage that comes with that an important statement lies at the heart of the story: whether anyone can know another person wholly, even if they are their most intimate partner.
Based on Yasmina Khadra's award-winning best-selling novel, the film deals with a Palestinian doctor, Amin (Ali Suliman), who has comfortably integrated in Tel-Aviv with a Christian Arab wife, Siham (Reymond Amsalem). However, his world is up-ended when his wife is implicated in a suicide bombing that kills 19 people, including 11 children. Beyond the horrors of this scenario, the film follows this man's quest for the truth while illustrating how ultimately difficult it is to know anyone.
Doueiri was Quentin Tarantino's first assistant cameraman from Reservoir Dogs into Jackie Brown, and he proves that he learned some lessons from this master filmmaker from a standpoint of subtle, moody suspense. But, ultimately, it's his deeper understanding of the conflict he grew up with that informs his film. It's unfortunate that in May, the League of Arab States asked all of its 22 member nations to boycott the film, including the director's home country of Lebanon. In shooting part of the movie in Israel, he had violated a decades-old Lebanese rule prohibiting citizens from working there. But, the director has noted, that is not the real reason why the Attack was banned, but because his film fails to demonize Israel, which goes against the propaganda he grew up with as a child in Lebanon.
What's so powerful about this film is that there is no room for demons on either side when such a complex relationship lies at the heart of the movie. The film efficiently establishes this relationship within its first few minutes. Siham tells Amin that every day he leaves her a small piece of her dies. It's a heavy statement that is meant to inform this relationship where this career-driven man seems to have put work ahead of her. He is off to accept an award from the Israeli medical community. During an introductory speech Siham calls him, and he must abruptly cut the call short. As he rises to visit the stage, a female colleague, Kim (Evgenia Dodena), brushes his face rather intimately to congratulate him. The next day he is having lunch with Kim and other doctors when a distant explosion rattles the building.
Via brief scenes, the suspicion that descends on Amin grows more and more suffocating. On top of dealing with the trauma of identifying Siham's body, he becomes the target of harsh police interrogation tactics and vengeful vandals. Halfway through the film, he decides to visit Siham's family in the city of Nablus in the West Bank. Doueiri does a great job presenting the culture shock, from the taxi driver who insists they listen to a sheikh's hateful speech to an even more shocking revelation on how news of Siham's implication in the bombing is regarded by those living in the city.
The director uses tight shots on the actor's face and a very modern electronic ambient music coupled with shivering strings by Éric Neveux to enhance the contemplative, quiet suffering of Amin. Forgiving a couple of heavy-handed melodramatic moments, for the most part, Doueiri sticks to a moody work, using lots of shadow and quiet moments that reveal a temperance the film fares better to stick with. Amin wanders in the middle of two worlds, more alone than ever. The more he learns, the more lonely he seems. The deeply entrenched divides between these people is powerfully revealed through a most intimate search for truth that ends on a rather wry personal note the speaks to some rather heart-breaking possibilities. It's quite a journey to take whether you are Arab, Jew or other.
The Attack is rated R, runs 102 min., and is in Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles. It opens in South Florida Friday, June 28, at the following theaters:
Miami: The Tower Theater, Intracoastal Mall
Fort Lauderdale: Sunrise 11
Boca Raton/West Palm Beach: Regal Delray 18, Movies at Delray, Movies of Lake Worth, Frank Theaters Delray, Living Room Cinemas, Boca, Regal Shadowood
Fort Myers: Regal Bell Tower
The studio provided me with a preview screener on-line for the purposes of introducing and discussing the film at O Cinema as part of its Gathr Preview screenings, back in early June. More information on Gathr in Miami can be found here.
It's difficult to compare the retro-inspired Quentin Tarantino to any standard but the one he sets for himself with his own filmography. His latest film, Django Unchained, stands up well as a modern mash up of the Spaghetti Western and Blaxploitation cinema. It mines the past of cinema history while bringing something new to the mix through Tarantino's indulgence in meandering but purposeful and always entertaining dialogue. That said, already the inclination arises to consider this film against the many iconic movies the director has produced in his 20-year career. This latest entry probably falls most into the quality of Kill Bill for its sheer indulgence of length and its theme of vengeance. There lies both its faults and merits.
It's a well-constructed, if extra-long, film building up toward an over-indulgent climax with a push-pull tension between humor and violence. Tarantino's retro winks begin immediately with a vintage Columbia Pictures logo leader, and then the title track from the original Django film (Sergio Corbucci, 1966) that influenced the film only in name and style. As usual, Tarantino's soundtrack throughout is well-inspired when it sticks to the era influences of the spaghetti western (Ennio Morricone appears more than once) and the 70s era that film genre flourished in (a sly choice in Jim Croce's tune "I Got a Name"). When it diverts to modern hip-hop it feels like a stretch, however, and disturbs the film's vintage quality, even if a track samples James Brown.
During the romantic, dreamy swing of guitars and strings and the soaring cool vocals of the Roberto Fia-sung title track, a chain gang of slaves cross hostile lands of blazing sun and drizzling snow in meager clothing. The group shuffles behind a pair of slave traders on horses. It's almost a sick sort of dance sequence, and brilliantly establishes Tarantino's notion to exploit the horrific elements of the end of the slave-era in the United States. The irony of this delightful song, which oozes 1960s-kitsch, comes across in the juxtaposition of the suffering of these men.
The film follows a freed slave, the titular Django (Jamie Foxx), and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) the bounty hunter who emancipates him and takes him under his wing. The action unfolds in 1858 ("two years before the Civil War," as an intertitle in the film points out) as the pair travels from Texas to Mississippi. Their relationship begins as something practical and blossoms into something far more idealistic. Django wants to find his wife Broomhilde (Kerry Washington) and Schultz cannot help but fall enraptured by the parallels to the ancient German myth from the Nibelung Saga in Django's quest (Broomhilde was the name of a princess in the tale in need of rescue from a dragon).
As demonstrated by the film's own comparison to a myth dating back to Norse lore, the hero venturing to rescue the damsel is nothing new. But for the slavery-hating German character of Schultz, the opportunity to watch the definitive fairy tale of his beloved nation acted out by black slaves, one of which actually learned German during her servitude, seems irresistible. His drive to help Django just to experience the myth by proxy comes from a far more romantic place than even Django's drive. Django wants his wife back, Schultz helps him for the sake of myth! Schultz is the film's poetry and soul and when he falls out of the story, the film seems to sag as far as stakes go. Tarantino appearing in a cameo with a bad Australian accent adds an exclamation point to just how weak and uninvestable the rest of the film is, as it charges toward a literally explosive finale.
Of course, as the title reveals, this is not a film about the good Dr. King. However, Waltz steals the show, delighting in every inflection of the Tarantino script. His erudite delivery of Tarantino's mannered language in his crisp German accent makes him appear as not only the smartest of the bunch but the most noble. It's a wonderful turn away from Waltz's Oscar-winning performance as the equally mannered though greedy, "Jew-hunting" Nazi in Tarantino's amazing prior film Inglourious Basterds. The fundamental difference between Schultz and everyone else in Django Unchained is how far he goes to act on principle, always staying true to his romantic reasoning while acting like a psychopath— a lethal bounty hunter with a heart of gold. It's a brilliant character and Waltz embraces his role, dialogue and all, with effortless panache.
The irony in watching this character chew up the scenery is that he upstages the title character who Foxx can only seem to play as cool and distant … and sometimes befuddled. Often, Django seems in over his head during his adventures with his mentor. Whether it's making the most of his freedom to pick his own wardrobe or fighting for respect from other men as a freed man. It would have been nice to have a more fleshed out character in Django, but this was an oppressed man in oppressive times. That he must lay waste to everything in sight to be a hero becomes a bit of a cop-out, for the battle for true freedom looms as a long road that to this day has not reached its endpoint.
Problems with the story aside, Django Unchained feels like a comprehensive, albeit cartoonish, experience of the end of the slave-years in American history. Tarantino stays true to an era when a black man was never even allowed to ride horseback. Helpless violence is dealt unto black slaves with cruelty, from their position in shackles to whippings to even the abuse of the N-word, which has become verboten in today's post-PC-age, but has long made liberal appearances in Tarantino movies. Never mind that people of Tarantino's age grew up in the pre-PC age where elementary school teachers threw about the word during history lessons on the Underground Railroad. It was a part of history, and history's lessons become useless if we forget them. Today, watching a film of violence populated by characters who hate the Other with such entitlement magnifies the potency of the word, and its violence is made apparent throughout this film.
Some of the most unapologetic abusers of the word in Django Unchained include the plantation owner Big Daddy (a suave, scene-stealing Don Johnson), Mandingo fighting connoisseur Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio, playing high-strung and short-fused) and his bitter but sly (and there's not soft-shoeing around this one) "house nigger" Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson). But the crux of the film seems to be that those who do not know how to respect their fellow man, no matter the color of their skin, will ultimately get their comeuppance.
With Django Unchained Tarantino knows how to stay true to the era as well as the weight of its social inequalities on a character like Django, despite the film's often over-the-top tone. The Spaghetti western and, even more so, Blaxploitation, were powerful bursts of sex and violence in an era when cinema rebelled against the oppressive rules of self-censoring imposed by the Hays Code. Tarantino is well known to delight in violence inspired by early 1970s cinema, but also has a strong ear for characters and even their subtleties, or— better put— details. It's interesting to watch Tarantino work with both humor and horror to address things like the class system among not only slaves and their owners, but the levels of class within slavery, which brilliantly comes to light when Django and Schultz get to know Mr. Candie and his plantation. Despite the inevitable blood bath by the vengeful Django, the film has more than violence at its heart.
Django Unchained runs 165 min. and is Rated R for many good reasons. It opens Tuesday, Dec. 25, in most theaters. The Weinstein Company invited me to a preview screening for the purpose of this review. A few indie cinemas in the Miami area are also getting in on the action. It will make a first-run appearance at the Tower Theater in Miami with Spanish subtitles. Later that week, the Miami Beach Cinematheque will host screenings of the digitally-restored original Django, starting Friday, Dec. 28. Here's the trailer for that film:

The Oscar show picks, part 2
March 3, 2010
If there's any chance that Inglorious Basterds, my favorite film in Oscar® contention has a possibility of winning (see yesterday's post), it lies in the acting category.
The acting nominations probably have less drama surrounding them than the filmmaker races and seem like an easier race to call. Here are my predictions and picks…
Actress in a supporting role
Mo'Nique in Precious
Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air
Penélope Cruz in Nine
Anna Kendrick in Up in the Air
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Crazy Heart
Who will win: There's so much love for Mo'Nique and her humble approach to the nomination (not even campaigning for it) that she's bound to win it. She did at the Golden Globes, she will do the same here.
Who I think should win: I never got around to seeing Precious. It looks like such a downer of a movie, but Mo'Nique's turn from perky comedienne to abusive mother with no make-up has the most flash of all the roles nominated here. It's an extreme shift, like Charlize Theron in Monster. It's just such a no-brainer of a pick. As for Up in the Air, the only movie of these that I have seen, the performances are just too subtle. As for Cruz's nomination, as much as I love her, and enjoyed her win for Vicky Christina Barcelona last year, the only reason I think she is in contention here is thanks to studio head Harvey Weinstein, who always finds a way into the Academy, even if the movie is poorly received (Nine bombed with critics and audiences). It just goes to show Weinstein's clout in the business, which hints at why I am so half-heartedly posting this entry on the Oscars®. I think it's a sham popularity contest, which is why you will see a big contrast in actual winners than those I would have voted for the win.
Actor in a supporting role
Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds
Christopher Plummer in The Last Station
Matt Damon in Invictus
Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones
Woody Harrelson in The Messenger
Who will win: I would not be surprised if Harrelson wins over the favored Waltz. He is more Hollywood than the foreigner Waltz, who really broke out for his portrayal as the stately by cruel "Jew hunter" in one of Quentin Tarantino's greatest films of his career. The upset possibility is certainly there, but Waltz has already earned 27 of 29 award nominations for his work in Basterds, including the Golden Globe (see his imdb page).
Who I think should win: Of course Waltz. He played such a dynamic, fierce bad guy who you just loved to watch. Supporting role is an understatement, as he practically carried the film, driving the suspense in many scenes of the movie. I must admit to missing The Last Station (it has yet to play in Miami!) and Invictus, but the roles sound too low key to stand out above Waltz's work in Inglourious Basterds. Tucci was strong in Lovely Bones, but that film never had the same critical support as Basterds. His performance also might just be too creepy, compared to the comic elements of Waltz's Hans Landa.
Actress in a leading role
Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia
Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side
Helen Mirren in The Last Station
Gabourey Sidibe in Precious
Carey Mulligan in An Education
Who will win: None of these other actresses stand a chance against the buzz surrounding the competition between Bullock and Streep. Seeing as this is Hollywood voting for themselves here, this will go to a deeply entrenched Hollywood personality, and Bullock could be the favorite, seeing as Streep's nomination for her work is beginning to get cliché; she already has two wins, and this would be her 14th nomination.
Who I think should win: The only role here I have seen on the screen was Streep's. I can't really say who deserves to win here. I really wanted to catch An Education in theaters, but I missed it, though I heard amazing things about Mulligan's performance. Based on all the attention she has received for her work in the movie, it probably would not have received the attention it has so far garnered. Still, Streep really does disappear in the role of Julia Child, and I would be happy to see her win over Bullock's work in what has always sounded like a formulaic flick, which I cannot find any interest in watching.
Actor in a leading role
Morgan Freeman in Invictus
Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart
George Clooney in Up in the Air
Colin Firth in A Single Man
Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker
Who will win: George Clooney just might, though Bridges is favored, but since the Oscars is a popularity contest among the industry's peers, I'm going with the more popular of the two. Bridges has always been difficult and anti-establishment. His Golden Globe win could help him, though. But you also can't count out Firth, who has been given a lot of love for his work in a Single Man.
Who I think should win: Though, I'm behind in my movie-going in this category as well, my vote is for Bridges. Clooney was low key but solid in Up in the Air, but even he has said he was playing himself in that movie. I prefer to appreciate a guy who cane disappear into a character, as Bridges does in Crazy Heart, and that may just seal the deal for him.
The Academy Awards popularity show, Part 1
March 2, 2010
Since I have been asked, I shall use this blog entry offer my Oscar® picks and predictions. Though I have hardly ever given them any credit for furthering my appreciation of cinema, it's been a fun game to predict, which goes way beyond the quality of filmmaking and into the art of politicking.
Last week, we had the BAFTAs (the British equivalent to the Academy awards). It was nice to see Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son, win an award for Outstanding Debut By A British Writer, Director Or Producer. I happened to have recommended his short film "Whistle" for programming at the Miami Film Festival a few years ago. I am very happy to see him get that award. Moon was an amazing addition to the thinking man's science fiction cannon, plus he is a real down-to-Earth guy for a guy with his head snuggly in the sci-fi world.
But more revealing was how the Hurt Locker swept up so many major awards at the BAFTAs, beating out Avatar in several categories, including Best Film and Best Director, and casting a shadow over the awards it lost to Avatar at the Golden Globes. That said, I think it portends good things for Hurt Locker at the Oscars this weekend, but, for my tastes, Inglorious Basterds is the stronger film.
Well, here is the first half at my look of the picks, mainly the competition trying to beat the favored Hurt Locker. The second half of this post will appear tomorrow and focus on the acting categories.
Avatar (James Cameron)
The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow)
Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino)
Up in the Air (Jason Reitman)
Precious (Lee Daniels)
Who will win: It's about time a woman director won an Oscar ®, and Bigelow has ironically produced a strong testosterone-fueled movie that also offers some deep insight into the kind of person war creates. This film could win it for her. Plus, our society has increasingly grown concerned about equating injustices against those in groups whose rights have been historically tread upon for centuries, which adds to her chances.
Who I think should win: Tarantino. If this category were not so overshadowed by the battle of the exes (Cameron and Bigelow were once married) and was truly about the craftiness of the director, Tarantino should get it.
Writing (adapted screenplay)
District 9 (Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell)
An Education (Nick Hornby)
Precious (Geoffrey Fletcher)
Up in the Air (Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner)
In the Loop (Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci and Tony Roche)
Who will win: These are some real nice, varied nominees, though, again, I'm too behind in my movie viewing to fairly guess. If I had to go on the politics that drives this awards show, I'd say the only contenders here are Up in the Air and Precious. Both are the serious movies here. Up in the Air has something to say about the state of today's day and age thanks to the messed up economy. But Precious is also a powerful comment on the constant of society, those people typically ignored as damaged goods in today's day and age.
Who I think should win: I think because of the latter's perspective I just offered, I think not only will Precious win this category but also deserves it.
Writing (original screenplay)
The Hurt Locker (Mark Boal)
Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino)
A Serious Man (Joel and Ethan Coen)
Up (Pete Docter and Bob Petersen)
The Messenger (Alessandro Camon and Oren Moverman)
Who will win: Hurt Locker has not only won awards for Bigelow's work but also for Boal, a journalist once imbedded with troops in Iraq. The momentum behind this movie will certainly see it through to the Oscars®.
Who I think should win: Yes, Tarantino, who has done some amazing ballet with words throughout his career. Basterds is no exception. The opening scene of the movie itself was an amazing exercise of suspense through dialogue.
Animated feature film
Up (Pete Docter and Bob Peterson)
The Princess and the Frog (Ron Clements and John Musker)
Coraline (Henry Selick)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson)
The Secret of Kells (Tomm Moore)
Who will win: Seriously, how many Academy members even heard of the Secret of Kells much less saw in its brief run designed to have it qualify for this category. Coraline is too far in voters' memory (I thought it was released in 2008, when I tried to think back on my favorite movies of 2009). Fantastic Mr. Fox is probably to odd a film for most to swallow, often the predicament of Anderson's movies. The Princess and the Frog is old Disney, and comes from a different era (hence its failure at the box office, proving audiences have moved on to 3-D computer-animated films). That means Up will undoubtedly win this category.
Who I think should win: Up deserves it. It is a strong, simple and emotional story, which happens to unfold in an animated 3D world. However, I do happen to think Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stronger film, due to its complex story and whimsical delivery, which does not lean on sentimentality for its emotional tug, unlike Up. Still, if either one wins, I'd be happy, but I'm secretly rooting for Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Foreign language film
Ajami (Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, Israel)
A Prophet (Jacques Audiard, France)
The Secret of Her Eyes (Juan Jose Campanella, Argentina)
The White Ribbon (Michael Haneke, Germany)
The Milk of Sorrow (Claudia Llosa, Peru)
Who will win: Being stuck in Miami, foreign movies have to work hard to play at movie theaters here. None of these have even played our few art houses here. I can only guess Haneke will win for being overlooked so long by the Academy.
Who I think should win: I cannot fairly even guess. I have heard some great things about several of these films and look forward to checking them out, beyond the Oscars ® hype.
Best picture
Avatar (James Cameron and Jon Landau, producers)
District 9 (Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham, producers)
An Education (Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey, producers)
The Hurt Locker (nominees to be determined)
Inglourious Basterds (Lawrence Bender, producer)
Precious (Lee Daniels, Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness, producers)
A Serious Man (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, producers)
Up in the Air (Daniel Dubiecki, Ivan Reitman and Jason Reitman, producers)
The Blind Side (nominees to be determined)
Up (Jonas Rivera, producer)
Who will win: OK, first off, let's pretend this renewed idea of 10 nominees in this category never happened. If that were the case, the only films up here would look like this:
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
The Blind Side
Up in the Air
Yeah, no Avatar. It's just too much of a technical showpiece. It's all about the technology used to make the movie, the 3-D aspect and the box office, superficial elements that do no make a classic film. That would also null the contest between the ex's James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, and her movie would win, making her also the first female director to get the statuette for Best Picture, as she was during the BAFTAs, a tidbit helping to hype her movie, which has enjoyed buzz all year long.
Who I think should win: No doubt about it, in my opinion, Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino is a master filmmaker, and he has shown it again and again since his debut feature Reservoir Dogs, Bigelow's catalog is much more suspect, filled with too many superficial action flicks like Point Break and Strange Days, which have not aged as well as Tarantino's work. His latest work was relentless in its pace thanks to its camera work, writing, editing and the performance he elicited from his actors, an all around master work deserving attention on its own merits, not the hype that surrounds Hurt Locker, which was a strong movie, but not the masterwork of film craftsmanship that was Inglourious Basterds.
So what do you think? Am I wrong for loving Inglorious Basterds so much? Beyond the hype, does Bigelow deserve the awards, which I have no doubt she will win?

Re: TNG DVD Transfers
Let me start of by saying, I totally agree with the mediocre image quality. While Seasons 1 and 2 seem to look the worst, 3-7 don't look particularly "great" either.
The packaging, while sort of cool at first, just seems clunky over time. The interior digi-pack doesn't slide out of the exterior cardboard book all that easily. You have to unfold the digi-pack to get to the disc you want to watch. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'd much rather have slim cases. Similar to those used in the fan collectives and most other TV shows on DVD.
I've been kicking around the idea of buying slim cases and my own artwork for the discs. Maybe that's a project better left to when I have an usual amount of free time on my hands.
