We suggest, then, that you learn how to read and write.
We do not accept the burden of providing you with an education.
Think what you want. We're not here to try to talk you out of it. If you want to jump, feel free, be our guest, and have at it -- if that's what you want to do.
Meanwhile, we stand by every nuance of our initial assessment of Mr. Furman's letter, regardless of your posturing about honesty.

Keep in mind that we did not write to you, but you wrote to us.
Keep in mind that each week between ten and thirty people write here to claim that they have The One True Proof of something for which I have absolutely no interest: religion. Why they do this is beyond me, but they do.
And each one has a book to sell. I could sympathize if they were trying to peddle their own books, works they'd authored themselves. But no: very few of these semi-literate Goofuses could pull off writing even the title page of a book, much less knock off whole books.
So they cover up their own lack of fortitude by jumping up and down about what others have said! And I'm not talking about a simple healthy interest in the opinions of others, perhaps in the interest of openness or balance; I'm referring to such a whopper of an obsession toward the works of a specific individual that you'd hit people over the head for their indifference toward this individual.
Hey! Just because you're too unimaginative to lead your own life, don't go telling me to follow somebody else! Or will convincing others to make the same mistake soften the pangs of shame you feel from your own lack of creativity?
Keep in mind that if you wish to stand out among those others and actually get our attention, you'll need to give us a reason to take you seriously.
Keep in mind that unless and until you learn how to read and write, you will have a very tough time getting other people to take you seriously.

Dayton firefighter Matt Allen comes up with Frito Lay flavor cheddar bacon, mac and cheese chip
A firefighter is being celebrated in his Ohio hometown for concocting a new potato chip flavor that's being produced by Frito Lay.
Dayton firefighter Matt Allen is competing for a $1 million prize in an online best-new-flavor contest sponsored by the snack maker. Allen says he came up with the cheddar bacon, mac and cheese chip while cooking at a firehouse.
The Dayton Daily News reports that his hometown of Troy celebrated Thursday with an event in the public square. Troy Mayor Michael Beamish proclaimed it "Lay's Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese Potato Chip Day" in the city just north of Dayton.
Allen says his wife Danielle encouraged him to enter the contest. Chip lovers can vote on their favorite of the four new flavors on social media. You can also vote online here.

Claim to fame: BJ's Restaurant and Brewery first opened in 1978 in Santa Ana specializing in deep-dish pizza, which is still a big draw for customers today. The chain added its first brewing facilities in 1996 at the Brea location. The pizzas are successful because of the, "lightly sauced bakery pizza crust, signature five cheese blend and unique combinations of toppings," according to BJ's. The recently added Gourmet Five Meat is perfect for meat lovers because of the meatballs, pepperoni, oven roasted ham, salami, Italian sausage that is then topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top. Another new pizza is the Portobello Mushroom, which features grilled Portobello mushrooms, roasted mushrooms marinated in balsamic vinaigrette, caramelized onion, and spices and Fontina cheese, topped with a balsamic glaze. There are also several menu sections for people with special diets, including the vegetarian pizza and thin-crust gluten-free pizza.
Did you know? The famous Pizookie is a great compliment to the deep dish pizzas. Served in its own tin, the Pizookie is a cookie topped with two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. When you buy a Pizookie, BJ's donates a portion of the sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). The Cookies for Kids and several major CFF events that BJ's has sponsored have raised more than half a million dollars

Claim God's Promise of Divine Multiplication
We find many examples of God performing acts of supernatural multiplication throughout His Word.
Spiritual Multiplication
The children of Israel came out of Egypt with millions of sheep, oxen, and cattle. The wealth of Egypt was literally poured out upon the Israelites, and all their needs were met because of the incredible power of supernatural multiplication. The God we serve not only took care of them but also was concerned about their livestock!
We are told throughout the Bible that God has many ways of multiplying whatever we offer to Him:
It shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.... Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Proverbs 3:6, 9-10)
God is a God of supernatural multiplication, and He desires for believers today to move into a higher level of abundance like Abraham in the Old Testament who found favor in the sight of Pharaoh (Genesis 12), a divine favor that produced a historic wealth transfer.
The Anointing for Divine Multiplication
The God of supernatural multiplication placed an anointing on the life of Isaac that gave him the wealth of Abimelech (Genesis 26). It was that same anointing on Joseph that promoted him everywhere he went. And it was that anointing on Solomon that caused the world to honor him with gold, silver, and jewels beyond description.
It is also that same anointing that Moses talked about: "The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand" (Deuteronomy 28:12).
Only God's divine multiplication could do all those things, and only His multiplication of anointing prosperity can accomplish all that needs to be done for the kingdom in this generation!
Our Lord Jesus spoke of this supernatural multiplication when He said, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again" (Luke 6:38).
Rising to a Higher Level Through Supernatural Multiplication
Just as a jumbo jetliner must increase speed to lift off and reach higher altitudes, so must we increase our seed-planting level to move to a higher level of harvest, abundance, and multiplication.
We are told, "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully" (2 Corinthians 9:6). The apostle Paul even used the language of accounting—giving and receiving and multiplication—to talk about the abundance that comes to those who give toward God's kingdom!
God's multiplication principle is clear. If we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly. But when we increase what we plant, our harvest will increase dramatically, not just by addition but by divine multiplication.
While we measure seed to plant with our small human hands, God measures the harvest with His mighty hands! That is supernatural multiplication!
We mustn't stay at the level of minimum planting with its sparing harvest! Instead, we must rise to the abundant harvest level by understanding God's desire for supernatural multiplication in our life. Increasing our seed level releases the abundance of the prosperity anointing on our life.
If you give God little to multiply, that's all He has to work with. If you give Him much, He has promised to multiply much!
Supernatural Multiplication Today
Why not take God at His word? Why not give God more to work with and multiply?
It is impossible to see greater multiplication in your harvest if you are content to plant sparingly! You must move to sowing greater levels of seed.
If you've been giving $20 a month toward the Gospel, give $40 and see what happens. If you've been giving $40, move up to a higher level, perhaps $80. Double your seed for an even greater harvest. See what happens when you move into God's supernatural multiplication!
Dear partner, I believe this anointing belongs to you as a child of God! It is your covenant right to have it every day. Giving releases the treasures of heaven on your life and triggers the anointing for prosperity. Greater levels of giving release an even more abundant outpouring.
I truly believe this is an important, life-changing time for the higher level of multiplication and prosperity anointing. I want to do whatever I can to encourage and challenge you to claim the promises that are available to you, given to you by our mighty God.
Step into His supernatural multiplication. Prayerfully consider planting your most generous seed-gift. Then watch God at work as He multiplies your seed in return as He uses that seed to touch hearts and lives around the world!
Continue to pray for God to bless our services in Indonesia this week—in both Semarang and Jakarta—and for God's protection as we travel to the nations to proclaim the saving and healing Gospel of Jesus Christ!
I love you for all you do for the cause of Christ! May God bless you abundantly for all you do for our Lord Jesus.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being my partner,
Benny Hinn
Help this ministry take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.

Need for Speed debuted a new trailer during Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII.
The new trailer focuses on the need for speed, particularly on the speeding luxurious and vintage cars involved in the film.
Although there is no actual dialogue in the new trailer, it is packed with dramatic action and visuals to make up for it.
However one important question is asked by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, "Do you have anything faster?"
Need for Speed is based on EA's popular racing video game of the same name, The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country race against time — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall (Paul) — who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side — reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). Just as a major sale to a car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poot) looks like it will save the business, a disastrous, unsanctioned race results in Dino framing Tobey for manslaughter.
Two years later and fresh out of prison, Tobey is set on revenge with plans to take down Dino in the high-stakes De Leon race — the Super Bowl of underground racing. To get there in time, Tobey must run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet, dodging cops coast-to-coast and dealing with fallout from a dangerous bounty Dino put on his car. With his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia as allies, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.
Need for Speed opens in theaters March 14.

Mercer's Nikki Kempf returns a shot as Hurley's Becca Ratowski, left, and Julia Nelson watch during Thursday's Indianhead Conference game at the Hurley K-12 School.
HURLEY — Mercer dominated rival Hurley 25-7, 25-9, 25-15 in an Indianhead Conference East Division match Thursday.
"Any win over Hurley is sweet anytime," Mercer coach Robyn Schoeneman said.
Mercer improved to 9-1 overall and 2-0 in the conference.
"We were excited coming into it and we performed well," Schoeneman said. "We had a really hard time getting our offense going tonight, but that's something we're going to work on over the weekend. Getting the ball to our hitters has been a little bit more of a challenge the last couple of days. We're hoping they'll have a chance to take some good swings and get the ball down (Saturday at home). We did have a time there where we were really putting the ball down, but it needs to happen every time.
"It was a good test for us tonight."
Mercer's Nikki Kempf and Lexi Engler each had 10 kills. Kassie Wiedower totaled 12 assists and Caitlyn Hiller had 10 assists. Camille Kich and Sydney Thompson both had two kills.
"Mercer always does a really job of keeping the ball in play and picking everything up and throwing it back at you," Hurley coach Liz Constantini said. "I was pretty impressed with their offense. They got some pretty good swings at the ball tonight."
Hurley's Felicia Herlevi and Kourtney Zacharias each had three kills. Julia Nelson had six assists.
"I thought our defense was really good," Constantini said. "We had our coverages. We hustled. We started blocking in the middle of the second game. We were just giving them too easy of balls. Our offense just wasn't executing to put any pressure on them."
Schoeneman said Hurley was scrappy, returning balls the Tigers didn't expect to come back over the net.
Hurley goes to Ashland Tuesday and Bessemer Thursday.
Mercer hosts a quad with Butternut, Lac Courte Oreilles and Bruce Saturday at 9 a.m.

Louis Jordan: Take The A Train
Take The A Train
Louis Jordan (vocals, alto sax)
I Believe In Music (Evidence 26006-2)
Louis Jordan (vocals, alto sax),
Irv Cox (tenor), Duke Burrell (piano), John Duke (bass), Archie Taylor (drums).
Composed by Billy Strayhorn.
Recorded: Paris, France, Nov. 6, 1973
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Louis Jordan, one of the original creators of R & B and a key influence on the development of rock 'n roll, is best remembered today for his irrepressible vocals on such '40's hits as "Caldonia," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Let the Good Times Roll," and "Five Guys Named Moe." But look past Jordan's jump band jive and you can't help but admire his alto saxophone playing, so swinging, piercing, and zestful. Let's not forget that he honed both his alto and vocal skills with Chick Webb's orchestra before breaking through on his own in the '40's with his Tympany Five. He was as much a jazz musician as an R & B or blues performer, and considered himself to be such.
Less than two years before his death in 1975, the then 65-year-old Jordan recorded this instrumental version of "Take the A Train" at a session in Paris, a track that was not released until the CD reissue in 1992. Listening to it, one wonders what Duke Ellington's orchestra might have sounded like with Jordan in the sax section and as a featured soloist (and singer!). The theme is taken at standard Ellington pace and harmony between Jordan's alto and Irv Cox's tenor, while Duke Burrell lays down some Dukish chords and phrases. Jordan enters his solo with a clarion call before suavely gliding through a series of interconnected and engagingly bluesy riffs, motifs, and exuberant shouts. His trades with drummer Archie Taylor are a little one-sided, as Taylor seems to be a better timekeeper than improviser. Burrell's fills during the horns' hearty reprise even top those of the pianist at the beginning of the piece, adding to the reverent authenticity pervading this small group treatment.

Hungarian Soccer Fans Long for Glory Days
For the first time in almost 15 years, Hungarian soccer fans have grounded hopes that the national team can get past the group stages of an international tournament's qualification round.
The team delivered what was expected of them Tuesday night with a 2-0 away win against Moldova, keeping them tied in second place in the Euro 2012 group with Sweden and in the running for a qualifying place in the group. But overcoming countries that aren't necessarily renowned for their soccer wasn't always a realistic expectation. In, fact, it hasn't been so for decades.
Hungary last managed to clinch a second place in its respective group in 1997 at the World Cup qualifiers. It then went on to crumble against Yugoslavia in the two-game knockout stage with a painful aggregate of 12-1.
The last time Hungary actually qualified for a major international tournament was in 1986 at the World Cup in Mexico. At that point, the team was highly regarded internationally and was the top-ranked team in Europe. Then something broke.
In a game that is still frequently discussed, Hungary suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat by the Soviet Union and eventually dropped out in the group stage. The team, and Hungarian football, despite its rich history, hasn't been able to recover ever since.
Even so, soccer remains the most popular sport in Hungary, with ardent supporters like Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose home town of Felcsut is home to the Puskas Football Academy, or OTP Bank boss Sandor Csanyi, who is the head of the Hungarian Soccer Federation.
But up until now, apart from a few rare flourishes, reminiscing over the better times was all fans had.
Now, all it takes is a win in the last round against Finland — in front of what will surely be a capacity crowd in Budapest — and also hoping the Swedes run into difficulties in their final two games.
It's far from a done deal, but even if it won't all fall into place this time around, Hungarian soccer fans will be all the more enthusiastic while chanting "Ria, ria, Hungaria," because they can finally feel like they have a team to full-heartedly support.

This cute couple's motto for their wedding was, "why buy it if you can make it?" Centered around the color blue and a love of crafting, this beautiful wedding turned into a truly DIY event. Having the wedding in the brides backyard literally brought the wedding very close to home, but with every handmade detail created to be unique and personal, memories were made that will stay with the bride and groom for a lifetime.
If you're looking for some cute DIY inspiration to incorporate into your own wedding make sure to take a look at all of the details from this DIY blue backyard wedding in the full gallery here, all wonderfully captured by The McCartneys Photography.
From the Bride:
My ideas evolved from a couple different places. I love the "olden day" clothing, their styles, and decor…it is just SO FUN! My mom also has a lot of old pieces so I felt that a somewhat vintage inspired wedding needed to be incorporated.
A lot of my ideas came from my past, growing up, and some from different wedding websites that I made into my own. For all this crafting and DIYing, 98% of our nights Jason and I had craft fest of 2012; making flowers, pom poms, me making belts, finding his men's bow ties, shoes, etc. We didn't really do much except for craft! I came up with the idea that we should make a song to sing in our wedding party for the grand march. So Jason made the beats, we wrote the lyrics and together we sang/recorded the song! I was very excited for everyone to hear them!
We just wanted our wedding celebration to be so much fun for everybody! I also wanted to make a lot of my wedding elements so that they held more meaning behind them. Every piece could have a story behind it, how I found it, how we made it, who helped, who said what about it. And I love that in life, all my knick-knacks around the house and pieces of furniture hold a lot of memories that I will carry forward with in my life.

Married mothers of infants and labor force participation
April 25, 2007
In recent years, the labor force participation of married mothers, especially those with young children, has stopped its advance.
Married mothers with children under a year old (infants) showed the most dramatic changes. After reaching a peak of 59.2 percent in 1997, the participation rate for married mothers of infants fell by about 6 percentage points to 53.3 percent in 2000 and has shown no clear trend since then.
In comparison, the participation rate of married mothers of school-age children (aged 6 to 17) fell by just 2 percentage points, from 77 percent in 1997 to about 75 percent in 2005.
Data for the labor force participation of married mothers are from the Current Population Survey. Find more on this topic in "Trends in labor force participation of married mothers of infants," by Sharon R. Cohany and Emy Sok, Monthly Labor Review, February 2007.

Cordy Overgaard and his daughter Karen traveled to Antarctica in February, 2007 aboard the expedition cruise ship Explorer II. This book combines a narrative description of the trip with several of Cordy's many photographs, including one which was judged the best overall photograph of the entire cruise. It includes some remarkable photos taken by Karen of a leopard seal that stalked their zodiac.
I became seriously interested in photography when I photographed magnificent horses and carriages at the annual Horse Fair in Jerez, Spain. Since then I have added photos from trips to Antarctica, Botswana and Galapagos.

Black Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne InterviewMarch 14, 2013
Never let it be said that Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne is averse to trying new things. In 2012, the metal icon and former slaughterhouse worker went vegan. Unlike his animal-loving friend Paul McCartney, Osbourne quickly conceded defeat.
"I tried it, but I didn't last more than a week or two," Osbourne admits. "I'm eating more meat now than ever! The only meat I haven't touched is the horse they're eating over here. I'll eat anything…"
Was there a specific meal you missed while living as a vegan?
"I'll tell you what I really missed – meat! How can the guy who bit the head off several creatures suddenly turn full circle and now live on vegetables? That doesn't sound right. I was Satan last week, now I'm on some fucking do-it-yourself gardening experience. These days I'm on a very low carb, high protein diet and I've dropped 30 pounds and I exercise like a freak. I'm 65 this year. God only knows how I got that far – I should have been dead a thousand times."
Although his popular 2000s reality program The Osbournes modified the public perception of the Birmingham-born singer, Osbourne's humorous observations are reminders that this genial grandfather was once Public Enemy Number One in the eyes of Conservative America. After using his teeth to tear the head off a live dove during a pivotal CBS Records meeting in 1981, Osbourne bit the head off a bat during an Iowa concert a year later. Obliterated by drugs and alcohol, Osbourne's engaging autobiography I Am Ozzy details other lamentable '80s exploits including pissing on the Alamo, attempting to murder his manager/wife Sharon and shitting on crooner Roger Whittaker's curtains.
Surviving his excesses and now triumphantly returning to front the band that sacked him in 1979, Osbourne's perversely redemptive tale is deserving of a Hollywood film. Although original drummer Bill Ward is absent from Black Sabbath's current line-up after a financial dispute ("I haven't spoken to him in maybe six months," Osbourne comments, "but I don't want to slag him since he's my buddy and I wish him well"), founding guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler join Osbourne for their first Australian tour in nearly 40 years. Touring on the back of successful 1970 albums Black Sabbath and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's debut Australian show was right here in Adelaide.
"That was the Myponga Pop Festival if I remember right? Management told us we'd have an exact copy of our amplifiers there, which we thought was great, but when we got there they were nothing like our amplifiers! But you know what? You get up there and do your best and I had a good time.
"I remember we had a big party at the hotel and some chicks there got absolutely shit-faced and were throwing up everywhere and we had to send them home. I don't remember much on the sex front after that…"
Black Sabbath are currently mixing 13, their first album featuring Osbourne out front since 1979's forgettable Never Say Die!. Acclaimed US producer Rick Rubin is on board as producer.
"Every time I've seen him for the past 15 or 20 years, Rick Rubin's always said to me that if Sabbath ever got back together, he wanted to produce us. Before we went into the studio, people were telling us that he's always got five things going on at the same time, so he'll be in there one day and then you won't see him for three weeks. All I can say is that whenever I was in the studio he was there. Rick Rubin is the producer and he knows what he's doing. If this is anywhere near as successful as the Adele album I'll be happy!"
Perhaps Rubin could sort out an Ozzy and Adele collaboration? Osbourne sounds excited at the suggestion.
"I'd die a happy man, I think she's fucking great. She's not fucking botox-faced, she's a normal, healthy girl who speaks in her native accent."
Despite burying the hatchet on 30 years of fractious friendships and estrangement, the Sabbath reunion of Osbourne, Butler and Iommi hasn't been without its hurdles. In January this year Osbourne suffered minor burns when his Beverly Hills home caught fire, while Iommi's 2012 lymphoma diagnosis ensured the Birmingham trio only managed three reunion shows last year.
"Tony's fine, but he can only go out on the road for six weeks at a time as he has to have infusions or some shit for his immune system. I was amazed that during his chemotherapy he was still writing songs. My heart goes out to him, because when Sharon had cancer a few years back, she was so sick from chemotherapy she could barely get out of bed. It's like having a football kick to the nuts. The chemotherapy is worse than the cancer – Sharon was like [the possessed child Regan in] The Exorcist, having seizures all the time. Tony is doing really well though."
Talk of The Exorcist brings to mind Iommi's confession he once saw a ghost in Clearwell Castle while the band were recording Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in 1973. Osbourne's having none of it.
"From what I remember, it was this white stuff we were snorting through straws that made you see things like ghosts… so maybe it was that!"
Sampled by Kanye West, covered by William Shatner and even surreptitiously making an impact in last year's Hollywood blockbuster The Avengers (Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man character wears a classic band T-shirt throughout the film), Black Sabbath's influence stretches far beyond their role as metal forefathers. While Osbourne now enjoys a comfortable lifestyle in Beverly Hills and routinely mixes with rock royalty, the Prince Of Darkness never forgets his poverty-stricken West Midlands upbringing.
"You're not going to believe it, but if I'm passing I frequently go back to my old house and sit on the doorstep for half an hour in the middle of the night. I'll be going from Liverpool down the M6 and I'll pull off in Aston for the memories. I can remember sitting on that step when I was a kid wondering what I'd be when I was a man. It's all Pakistanis living there now."
Given that Ozzy Osbourne is filmed at the end of the 2011 God Bless Ozzy Osbourne documentary on his knees silently praying in his dressing room, have his spiritual beliefs changed over the years?
"Oh, that? That was part of my alcohol and drug recovery. I had to get on my knees and give thanks for what I have, but I don't do that anymore. I just burn a few witches in the garden and go to bed…"

At some point in life, one must observe the way in which one is living, regarding the decisions of how one may act or think. Humans can do wrong, and sin against God in so many ways. However, the moment when humans can see is so critical in sustaining that relationship with our Lord.
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35)'".
Do you ever recall a time when you saw someone in need and you did not supply him with that in which he needed? Was there ever a time you noticed a beggar off the side of the road, and you just drive on, trying not to look at the person? Did you ever come across someone who was sitting alone at a party, or event, and instead of greeting the person, you mocked her from a far? Have you ever given a waiter a hard time in a restaurant or a clerk in a department store, making him or her distressed?
Consider those questions, and try to think about how many of those scenarios you can identify with and recollect. Perhaps you noticed such occurrences take place, whether it was you or someone around you. Try to think about how you reacted afterwards, and what was going through your mind. Do you make efforts to justify any action that may or may not contradict your morals and ethical reasoning? Alternatively, perhaps, do you brush things off, and do not worry yourself with such things, because you have other things to worry about?
Beloved understand that in this life all of us will have to carry our own Cross in some way, shape, or form. There will be tribulation and problems that will throw you off guard. You will face roadblocks in the midst of sunshine and blue skies. There will be darkness around the corner you least expect. Do not fear such things for they must take place.
Do not allow the Cross you carry to interfere with how you treat one another. Be kind to your brothers and sisters, for no human is better than another is. The only One who was and is better is our Lord, Jesus. He was and still is our Lord, our God.
As Christians, we all will be tempted, tested, and taunted by many things, from multiple angles. Be aware of this and be strong in our Lord. Try to remember how our Lord forgave up until He took His last breath on the Cross. He asked God to "Forgive them, for they know not what they do". Remember this and try to do as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ did. Make sure to forgive and our Lord will take it from there.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made many disparaging remarks about Israel over the years, but his latest accusations brought condemnation not only from Israel, but also from the White House, the United Nations and the U.N. Watch.
Speaking on Islamophobia at a conference sponsored by the U.N. Alliance of Civilizations, Erdogan compared Zionism to fascism, calling it a crime against humanity.
"Just like Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism, it becomes unavoidable that Islamophobia must be regarded as a crime against humanity," the Turkish leader told participants.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who attended the conference, called Erdogan's remarks "hurtful" and "divisive."
"The secretary-general believes it is unfortunate that such hurtful and divisive comments were uttered at a meeting being held under the theme of responsible leadership," a statement by his spokesman read.
The U.N. Watch, a group that tracks human rights abuses, said his "Ahmadinejad-style pronouncements" appealed to the "lowest common denominator in the Muslim world."
"Erdogan's misuse of this global podium to incite hatred and his resort to Ahmadinejad-style pronouncements appealing to the lowest common denominator in the Muslim world will only strengthen the believe that his government is hewing to a confrontational stance and fundamentally unwilling to end its four-year-feud with Israel," the group said, adding that Ban should have immediately condemned the remarks.
"We remind Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that his predecessor, Kofi Annan, recognized that the U.N.'s 1975 Zionism-is-racism resolution was an expression of anti-Semitism and he welcomed its repeal," the group said in a statement. It called on Erdogan to apologize.
The White House added its rejection of Erdogan's remarks.
"We reject Prime Minister Erdogan's characterization of Zionism as a crime against, humanity, which is offensive and wrong," White House spokesman Tommy Victor said.
In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "a sinister and mendacious statement the likes of which we thought had disappeared from the world."
Israeli Foreign Minister spokesman Yigal Palmor said Erdogan's "hollow words…only reflect ignorance."
"Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people and to deny any people their right to self-determination and to their national movement is absurd," Palmor said. "We will not dignify such nonsense with any further comment."

Kicking off Day 10 at the 2014 World Cup (Copa Mundial de la FIFA Brasil 2014) is a lopsided soccer (futbol) clash between Argentina vs. Iran (Group F), for which live streaming (online) information and TV schedule coverage is available courtesy of ESPN (TV/free live stream), Univision Deportes (en vivo en Español) and CBC (Canada). As noted in an ESPN (June 20) preview, Estádio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, Brasil, will be the site for today's World Cup 2014 opener, slated to kick off at 12 p.m. Eastern Time (11 a.m. CT/10 a.m. MT/9 a.m. PT).
After nine exhilarating days of FIFA World Cup action, the marriage between Univision and ESPN has been a match made in soccer/football/futbol heaven. The TV/live streaming combination of ESPN and ESPN-Deportes, and the one-two punch of Univision/Univision-Deportes has delivered consistent quality product, and today's Argentina vs. Iran clash (en vivo) should be no exception.
*Watch Germany vs. Ghana (Alemania vs. Ghana) live stream (en vivo) 2014 FIFA World Cup (Copa Mundial de Futbol)*
As usual, the soccer festivities get underway with ESPN3's Pre-Match (Argentina vs. Iran) 2014 FIFA World Cup live stream online coverage at 10 a.m. on the East Coast (7 a.m. Pacific Time). The Worldwide Leader in Sports will preview today's game by giving hardcore soccer fans unprecedented access into Argentina and Iran's locker rooms, as well as both team's pre-match rituals and warm-up routines.
Once the (Internet) tailgate party wraps up it's time for ESPN's TV broadcasts and simultaneous live stream feeds to keep the momentum going. Kicking off at 11:30 a.m. ET on big ESPN (DirecTV channel 206) will be Argentina vs. Iran 2014 FIFA World Cup for TV (English-speaking) viewers. Meanwhile, on the theme of online live streams, it's certainly worth pointing out that WatchESPN will offer the following free Internet feeds (All Eastern Times):
(11:30 a.m.) Argentina vs. Iran (Group F) (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(11:55 a.m.) Tactical Cam - Argentina vs. Iran (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(11:55 a.m.) Portuguese Audio - Argentina vs. Iran (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(11:55 a.m.) EDT Highlight Reel - Argentina vs. Iran (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(11:57 a.m.) EDT Em Português - Argentina vs. Irã (Grupo F) ESPN-Deportes
For those trying to watch Argentina vs. Iran en vivo (En Español) on television, Univision will handle Spanish broadcasting duties half-hour before the scheduled Noon TV start time. Much like in the case of ESPN, Copa Mundial de la FIFA Brasil 2014 television coverage gets underway at 11:30 a.m. with pre-game analysis, starting lineups and exclusive interviews from Los Argentinos and Los Iranies moments before their clash.
With the top two spots in Group F still up-for-grabs, who will rise to the challenge with only one match remaining in the group-play stage? Can Argentina overcome the recent controversy surrounding Lionel Messi's criticism of Alejandro Sabella's tactics, or will Iran continue to excel in tough situations? English-speaking and Latino (Español) fans in the United States cannot afford to miss ESPN and Univision's TV and live stream/en vivo presentations of the opening FIFA World Cup (Copa Mundial de la FIFA Brasil 2014) match on Saturday's schedule.

Verizon's Black Friday deals leak out, Motorola Droid RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 featured
One after another, the Black Friday deals that carriers and retailer have readied for your persuasion are leaking out ahead of time. Right now, we're focusing on what Verizon will have on offer in four days.
Big Red's Black Friday ad shows us a new, limited edition Motorola Droid RAZR coming in "cranberry". This device will be free (after a $50 mail-in rebate in the form of a debit card) with a new two-year contract.
One thing you have to note here is that we aren't talking about the new Droid RAZR HD that was launched not long ago. Rather, this is the original Droid RAZR from yesteryear. Still a capable device of course, but more like a midranger in this day and age in terms of specs.
Alongside the Droid RAZR, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will also be offered by Verizon. This Friday only, you'll be able to purchase one for just $99.99. Apparently you'll need to sign a new two-year contract for this deal too, although that's pretty odd since Verizon supposedly stopped selling tablets on contract a while back. Who knows, maybe this is a one-off thing.
The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that's on offer is a 'special edition' white model, so if that's your favorite color this will surely interest you.

We're a little too young to remember the fervor surrounding Princess Diana's engagement to Prince Charles in 1981, but boy, do we ever have royalty fever now that Prince William is finally engaged to Kate Middleton. At their engagement announcement, Kate looked every bit the princess in a royal blue silk jersey wrap dress by Brazilian-born designer Daniella Issa Helayel. The dress, which retails for about $620, naturally sold out within hours. The princess-obsessed little girl in us still yearns to copy that effortlessly classy look, so here are nine others (#9 is another Issa wrap dress).
And, of course, congratulations, William & Kate!
1. Sinclaier 10 Melinda Cap Sleeve Belted Dress ($250)
2. Golden Goose Short Crepe Dress ($225)
3. La Petite Robe di Chiara Boni 3/4 Length Dress ($590)

Friday Night Bites is a weekly round-up for various tidbits of show and cast/crew news not quite big enough to warrant a blog post, not strictly Vampire Diaries-related, or that somehow just fell through the cracks. Please insert theme song by Explosions in the Sky here and enjoy.

Well, you can put away those wishlists, Vampire Diaries fans: TV Guide has exclusively revealed who will be portraying our final two unknown Originals. British actor Casper Zafer will play Finn and Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic will play Kol, brothers to Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. (The article clarifies the point that the two other Original siblings died before/during the events of Ordinary People.) GET THE DETAILS OVER AT TV GUIDE.
(We couldn't find a proper head shot of Mr. Zafer, so had to use a still from a film. We'll be on the look out for a better one! Also, there seems to be a lot of confusion about how his name is spelled, so apologies if IMDb is wrong. We'll fix that, too, if we chose the wrong one.)
UPDATE: Zap2It has a very interesting tidbit via Julie Plec that will be sure to interest the coffin-counters in the house.

We used to look forward to a bucketload of candy as an Easter morning treat. Being responsible grown-up types now, we think we'd rather see some luxurious bath and body goodies in our baskets. These French Soap Eggs ($25) have a seasonally-appropriate look, and each one is packed with real plant pieces and scents, from grapefruit peel to green tea. Now that's what we're talking about (though a Cadbury creme-bomb or two wouldn't go completely amiss...)

Hundreds of people stood shoulder to shoulder outside the Microsoft store at Scottsdale Fashion Square on Wednesday afternoon, hoping to catch a glimpse of four stars of the upcoming "Hunger Games" movie.
Outstretched hands held cell phones, moving up and down as people jockeyed for the best spot to snap a photo. The pitch of excited voices rose and fell in the mall corridor.
"Can you see them?" friends asked each other.
"I'm so excited!" fans agreed.
"Liam is so cute," girls giggled.
The fans were waiting to meet actors Liam Hemsworth (portraying Gale Hawthorne, friend of protagonist Katniss Everdeen), Leven Rambin (Glimmer, District 1 female tribute), Jack Quaid (Marvel, District 1 male tribute) and Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh, District 11 male tribute).
The actors appeared in Scottsdale as part of an eight-city mall tour promoting the film, which is based on the highly successful Suzanne Collins novels of the same name.
The movie, which opens March 23, recently beat the record for first-day advance ticket sales previously held by "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," according to online ticket-seller Fandango.
The novels, a book club favorite at the moment, are set in a dystopian state called Panem, where each of the country's 12 districts must send two teenagers a year to the Hunger Games, a fight-to-the-death competition.
Watching through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the Microsoft store, fans broke out in hysterics as the actors emerged from a back room.
Mellissa Carroll, 24, of Phoenix, was the first to meet the stars. She wore six "Hunger Games" buttons pinned to her cardigan, which she wore over a black "District 12" T-shirt. She entered the store smiling in anticipation, and left screaming while holding a signed poster.
Carroll had camped at the mall for nearly two days. She made friends with Emily Hahn, 19, of Goodyear, and Nicole Wursta, 13, of Phoenix, who waited in line in a parking garage with their families. The group slept sparingly, shared snacks and tried to entertain each other.
The three left the store walking closely together, moving in a tight circle.
"Liam was so nice," said Carroll.
"He was so, so nice," Wursta added immediately.
Hahn was dressed as "Katniss during her interview," in a floor-length sequined dress with a gold Mockingjay pin. She wanted to get the attention of Quaid, whom she'd been tweeting all day.
"I knew I would leave an impression for Jack (Quaid) in this," she said, smiling. "And Leven (Rambin) said I looked pretty."
Wursta, who was dressed as a tribute in all black, was doubly excited about the movie release -- it falls on her 14th birthday.
" 'Hunger Games' is going to be way better than 'Twilight,' " she said. "Those books were good, but the movies ruined them."
A few hundred fans who either waited for, or won, red wristbands met the actors and got signed posters.
After the signing, the actors moved to the rotunda near the Barney's New York store for a question-and-answer session emceed by Johnjay and Rich of 104.7 KISS FM.
More than 1,200 people packed the nooks at store entrances and squeezed together on the second floor near H&M.
The actors sat in front of a large "Hunger Games" backdrop, emblazoned with the Mockingjay logo, and answered fan-submitted questions about themselves and their roles.
The Scottsdale stop was the third on the tour, which ends Saturday in Seattle.
Fans gather for the Hunger Games event at the Scottsdale Fashion Square.

KOTOR III - Really going to happen?

You're probably right, but LA's premise escapes me. It's as if the company presumes all Star Wars games will sell to the same audience simply because they are Star Wars games. To me that is a misconception, because I need look no further than myself to see the theory disproven. I'm attracted to CRPGs and few other games. Granted, I do own Battlefront, but only after the pricetag fell after the release of Battlefront 2. I don't own Battlefront 2, and I'm not going to unless I stumble across it in the cheapos pile. And I'm not even going to go looking for it there, either.
Not so with KotOR3, which I'm seriously going to consider buying at the full price tag when it comes out.
I have none of the LEGO Star Wars games, and I'm not going to either. I don't play kids' games on my computer. Don't get me wrong - that's no bash against Legos. I like Legos, but they just aren't Star Wars to me, and so I'm not going anywhere near any game that combines the two.
So basically LA is making very little or no money from me as long as they continue this policy, because I won't be interested in the games they publish.
Battlefront, KotOR and LEGO Star Wars may all be Star Wars games, but to assume that they will all appeal to the same audience for that reason alone is a pretty far leap IMHO.

So if LA needs to make fewer SW games so they can focus on quality instead of quantity then that is a good thing. As you point out however the unfortunate tradeoff is some games won't get made.
While that sounds plausible, you seem to me to presume something that I don't think is the case, namely that LA can only develop so many games at a given time. But since LA develop few of those games themselves, that does not seem to me to be the case. LA usually hires others to make the games for them, so development time really isn't an issue, I think, as there are certainly enough developers around.
It's true that there is a chance of oversaturating the market if too many Star Wars games are published, but the "only two Star Wars games per year" philosophy just seems flawed given that the games don't all target the same audience. If they did, we would not hang around here wondering about when or if KotOR3 is coming out - we'd be playing the newest Star Wars games and discussing them on the relevant forums. I know that I do neither, and I doubt I'm the only one.
So while LA might make more money on LEGO Star Wars and Battlefront than from KotOR - and I don't know if that's the case or not - they are cheating themselves out of the money they could make from people like me, because we're not going to buy the games they publish.
That being the case, the only valid consideration for whether KotOR3 should be made or not (assuming that a suitable and compelling plot exists or can be written) is really whether LA would make a profit on it, not whether Battlefront 3 or LEGO-whatever would make more money. Profit is still profit. Even if you make less of it from KotOR3 than you do from Battlefront 3, you're still making more $$ altogether.
Instead LA is now losing people like me from their potential audience - and therefore losing potential profit - because I'll be going elsewhere with my money. Heck, LA doesn't even need to look for a developer, seeing as how Obsidian is actively pushing for a KotOR3.
This is really a no-brainer, LA. What's the hold-up?
My prediction: Yes, KotOR3 will come. But we're all better off presuming that it won't, because it could be a long wait indeed. Hope for the best, but always expect the worst...

Bébé Dress Pincushion
Posted by ShariB on Friday, June 1st, 2012
Download the pattern and printable instructions here.
Course Instructor: Shari Butler, Doohikey Designs at www.doohikeydesigns.com.
Fabric Line: Dress Up Days by Shari Butler, Doohikey Designs for Riley Blake Designs.
Dress Up Days inspired this pincushion. It's the pinafore from the main print of Dress Up Days. You will see my version of Ramona standing by the clothespin with the wind blowing in her hair. I wanted to create something that can be fun to look at as you sew your projects, clothing, and quilts. I warn you now! You will want to make three or four of these, especially when your little girl sees them. They may disappear when you aren't looking!
Hope you enjoy the process!
Yardage for 1 Pincushion, You could use Fat Quarters to make more than one.
2 - 7.5" x 9.5" Skirt, Floral
2 - 6" x 7" Top, Solid
1 - 4" x 7" Apron, Damask
1 - 1/2 yard Trim, Ric Rac or Crocheted Lace
1 - Button, Riley Blake or Doodlebug Designs
FiberFill and Crushed Almonds from (Bird Section at Pet Store)
Hot Glue Gun
Basic Sewing Supplies
Seam Allowance is 1/4".
The neckline and sleeves are small and can be difficult to sew. I recommend sewing slowly and pinning as you go to create this pincushion.
Step 1
Print out pattern pieces, cut and place pieces on fabric. I layer skirt and top wrong sides together, pin then cut at one time.
Step 2
Pin top and skirt, right sides together. Sew making sure you backstitch when you begin and end sewing.
Step 3
Press. Pin right sides together. Make sure you mark an inch with a pin from both corners on the pincushion. Start sewing on left side at the inch mark making sure you backstitch and sew all around the dress to the last inch mark and backstitch. Clip all curves.
Step 4
Turn the dress through the opening at the bottom. Make sure to use a chopstick to press out all corners and sides. Press.
Step 5
Stuff top of dress with fiberfill, making sure you get the sleeves first nice and tight. Fill the fiberfill on the top till it's nice and tight.
Step 6
Now fill with Crushed Almonds from the bird section at the pet store. I love to use this, because it will give a heavier base for the dress to stand and it will help keep your pins nice and sharp.
Step 7
Take base template and cut out of cardboard. Place in the bottom of dress starting and one side, then sliding in till it's nice and taught. Press down to make flat.
Step 8
Hot Glue the fabric to the base starting at one side, then folding over the other side so it lays flat.
Step 9
Optional, thread button then hot glue to top of dress.
Step 10
Fold the bottom of apron a 1/4", press. Fold another 1/4" then topstitch. Cut extra corners off. Then take corner fold in and fold sides in 1/4", pin and topstitch.
Step 11
Fold top 1/4" and stitch in place. Turn to right side. Fold your ric rac in half and pin from the center of apron. Stitch ric rac in place with like color.
Step 12
Tie your apron on, double knotted. Cut the ends off. And your new pincushion is done!
Oh the possibilities in making more! Here are few more pictures of this fun dress pincushion. I couldn't just stop at one colorway, I wanted to show you examples from the Aqua and Purple collections.
I hope you have fun making this pincushion and I can't wait to see what you all create!
Thanks but I can't find the pattern; can you please check the link? I love this pincushion!!! :)))by mati64

Justified – "Kill the Messenger"
Season 5, Episode 6
Air date: Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 10PM E/P on FX
"I can tell you're a man that would run into a burning building without blinking an eye. Thing is, I think you're the one setting the fire." – Allison to Raylan
"Kill the Messenger" starts off with a punch in the face, literally. And if you think there was double crossing going on in "Shot All To Hell," you ain't seen nothing yet. In this week's installment, there is goading, betrayal, and a lot of bruises. "Kill the Messenger" is a bit more complex in the story arcs as we are introduced to several new characters. Some of the plots are moving forward while others are stewing on the back burner.
I knew Art (Nick Searcy) wasn't going to take what Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) said in "Shot All To Hell" very well and their awkward silence is now raising eyebrows and curiosity for Tim (Jacob Pitts) and Rachel (Erica Tazel). I'm not sure what Art is going to do but I think this is something that will fester a bit before action is taken. I can't say it enough – both Pitts and Tazel are vastly underutilized actors on Justified. I'm grateful for the extra screen time Rachel gets in "Kill the Messenger," showing she is more than a pretty face behind the badge. She's a badass. I'm glad she insists on tagging along with Raylan during their elevator ride because she knows he has no intentions on doing inventory; he's going to see Danny Crowe (A.J. Buckley) about the attack on Allison (Amy Smart).
Rachel: "How come you pushed 'basement'?"
Raylan: "That's where you count bullets."
Rachel: "Please; I'm going with you."
Raylan: "Where am I going?"
Rachel: "You're going down to Harlan to kick Danny Crowe's ass."
Raylan: "Fine. You can drive."
Danny Crowe is a piece of work. His maniacal barking and flashing that huge chip on his shoulder are going to get him into a lot of trouble. Buckley completely becomes this arrogant son of a bitch, giving us a performance so compelling, you would love to shoot Danny just to wipe that smug look off his face.
Boyd (Walton Goggins) is in a world of hurt. His Ava (Joelle Carter) is in the Kentucky State Women's Prison so he seeks the aid of an old friend to help him protect her while she's in the joint. I should have known right off the bat that Gunnar Swift (Branton Box) isn't to be fully trusted. He's still all about 'white power' and Boyd's long moved on from that soap box. Swift warns Boyd about his sister Gretchen's (Casey McCarthy) bad attitude and from the looks of her, she seems to hold her brother's belief in white supremacy. I feel for Ava because if it isn't Gretchen coming for her, there are others who would love a piece of her in more ways than one. This sudden hitch in the protection plan causes Boyd to seek an alliance with someone he probably never thought he would – Daryl Crowe (Michael Rapaport).
As Boyd tries to get his ducks in a row, he and Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) meet with their new drug suppliers, Alberto Ruiz (Justin Huen) and Mr. Yoon (James Kyson). It's a brief scene but it leaves quite an impression, not only with the "kimchee in the salsa" comment but Yoon's message to Boyd about what will happen if things don't work out in his boss' favor. While I don't care for the addition of more characters, Yoon is a breath of fresh air. He's cultured, wears a nice suit, and articulates his points with precision and a touch of foreboding. I don't think Boyd is going to cause ripples deliberately but it's not Boyd who is causing a fuss. Hot Rod (Mickey Jones) sends a clear message that only Boyd would understand, forcing Boyd to do something he didn't think he would do again so soon.
The one person to watch on Boyd's team is Carl (Justin Welborn). He's smart, cunning, and has a lot of gumption. He isn't afraid of a fight and doesn't back down easily. I'm keeping my eye on this dude.
Justified isn't known for its comedic prowess, but it has its moments. The funniest moment of "Kill the Messenger" is the cell phone conversation among Dewey (Damon Herriman), Jimmy (Jesse Luken), and Boyd.
Dewey is desperate to be rid of his Florida kin. He shouts out, "I ain't giving up on my dream" when he fails to sell his beloved above ground pool – a symbol of his grand dream to be his own boss.
Does Daryl really believe his buddy Jean-Baptiste (Edi Gathegi) actually went back to Miami? I think he knows something is up but maybe Daryl is wary of Danny's unpredictability.
Wendy (Alicia Witt) is still a mystery to me. I know she's there to help her brothers but she knows what they do isn't always legal or moral. I'm hoping the writers have something up their sleeves for her character.
Is Allison right about Raylan? Is he a pot stirrer? She's becoming Raylan's Achilles heel. Danny goes after her and sure as a bear defecates in the woods, Raylan goes gunning for him. Is Raylan tired of the Marshal life? Perhaps he's restless and needs to prove he's still got what it takes to kick someone's ass.
Interesting lines:
- Raylan to Wendy about Danny's barking at Allison: "Well, your brother is a world-class dumb ass, no offense, so I hesitate to try and analyze what goes on in his head. But if I had to guess, I'd say it was his way of trying to call me out."
- Raylan to Rachel: "You're not a kiss ass; I'm sorry I said that. You know I think the world of ya and I trust you with my life, but Rachel, I ain't saying a goddamn thing about me and Art."
- Boyd to Gunnar: "Now Gunnar, I know it's gonna be real unpleasant for you to talk for a little while, but you need to let your sister know that if anything else happens to my woman, if she cuts her leg shaving, I'm gonna take it out on you a hundred fold."
While "Kill the Messenger" is an engaging and surprise-filled episode, I feel the show is dragging things out a bit too much. I'm ready to go to Mexico with the heroin and see the showdown between Boyd and Johnny (David Meunier). I also want to see Ava kick some ass too; I know she's got it in her.
Let me know what you thought of "Kill the Messenger." Leave a comment below and/or tweet me @judybopp.
Justified is taking a short break and will return with the new episode, "Raw Deal," on Tuesday, February 25 at 10:00 PM ET/PT, only on FX.

Argentina Paratroopers and military parachutists Around The World by Herbert Holeman
Agatha Chrisite Pages by Herbert Holeman, Ph.D.
PARATROOPERS of ARGENTINA
The Argentine Army is proud of having the distinction of being the first military force in Latin America to field Paratroops organized as a coherent fighting force. This was accomplished at a time when only four other nations, the Soviet Union, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States in that order had such airborne forces.
The paratroop forces are organizationally within the 4th Parachute Brigade (4 Brigada Paracaidista)and functionally is similar to the other infantry brigades, but with parachute capability and once deployed, it can sustain itself in independent action.
Parachute infantry regiments of the Brigade have fought in several conflicts, including the War of the Falklands. During that conflict, known as
La Guerra de las Malvinas
The airborne brigade's, Artillery Battalion 4 brave defense of its positions won the respect of their British paratroopers and one of the captured pieces now occupies a place in the British Airborne Museum in Aldershot. Today, paratroopers of both countries engage in exchange jump training opportunities. One example is the completion of jump training at the British parachute school in the UK by an Argentine Army Lieutenant who is the son of an Argentine paratroop colonel who fought in the Falklands.
The brigade has participated in peace missions in such places as Angola, Croatia, Cyprus, Kuwait, and Morocco.
