College Hockey:Vermont and Denver both get strong goaltending in 1-1 tie
Lawson and Shore tally their teams' lone goals
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Following up on a 5-3 Denver victory Friday night, it was a different game for the Vermont Catamounts and the Pioneers on Saturday as they skated to a 1-1 tie in front of a sold out crowd at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
Sophomore Drew Shore scored the only goal for Denver while Senior Dan Lawson recorded the goal for Vermont.
"From our standpoint, I thought we took a step forward in our improvement overall from last night," Denver coach George Gwozdecky said. "I thought we did a much better job managing the offensive part of the game, puck management, we had some pretty good chances offensively. I thought it was a very, very good, exciting college hockey game."
Denver started off the contest very strong, out-shooting Vermont 10-5 in the opening period. Neither team was able to score though and the game remained 0-0 heading into the second.
"I think the first period we looked a little sluggish," Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon said. "You know for a lot of the players it's their first time playing back-to-back. I thought Denver played extremely well. They got on us, kind of put us back on our heels a little bit, and we didn't respond real well."
Vermont freshman Connor Brickely got the puck close to the Denver crease to start the second period but was unable to get it past freshman goalie Sam Brittain.
Instead, Denver struck first at 3:06 of the second when freshman Jason Zucker passed the puck to an open Shore, capitalizing on a Vermont defensive turnover that had occurred behind the net. Shore was ready and waiting in the slot and he sent the puck in past Madore for the goal.
Denver senior Jesse Martin made a hard snap-shot minutes later, attempting to take advantage of a Vermont tripping penalty committed by senior Josh Burrows, but Madore made a key glove save to keep the deficit at one.
The Cats were then able to even the score as the period was winding down at 18:06 when sophomore Tobias Nilsson-Roos pitched the puck back to Lawson, who scored from the point when his shot deflected off of Denver defensemen Paul Phillips.
The third period ended up as another scoreless one for both teams and the game went into overtime.
When the clock was winding down with less than a minute left in the overtime period, the puck was dangling just to the left of the Vermont net. Players swarmed to try and take possession of it but neither team was able to gain control.
After such decidedly one-sided shooting in the opening period, the shots were even at the end of the game with 29 for both teams.
"Great sign for our team that we can have a poor period and then come back and play as well and as hard as they did for the final two periods," Sneddon said.
"Sometimes your best friend is intermission and sometimes it's your worst enemy," Gwozdecky said of Denver's lack of total domination following the first period.
Both coaches were pleased with the performances of their respective goaltenders however.
"I was really pleased for Sam," Gwozdecky said. "I thought he played a very controlled game. The goal that was scored on him, you couldn't fault him at all. I thought both goaltenders were very good tonight but obviously for young Sam, a real good step forward."
"Both goalies were sensational," Sneddon agreed. "Rob made some huge saves and I thought their young goaltender, that's his first official college game. I thought he played excellent for them."

Not really related to left handed guitar playing or whatever, but still something I'd like to share. Just to show you guys I'm still alive :)
I'm currently in a mix of thought about continuing to learn left handed guitar, or do the right handed thing with my thumb. I guess I'll be doing a bit of both (so my progression will probably be slower if you look at just one of these styles). It's always been that way with me. There's so many things I like to do. Photoshopin', gaming, video editing, recording music, playing guitar, lifting weights, tricking. I guess I'm as all round as it gets. It just kinda sits in the way of being master at one.
Here's the vid.

Many people do not realize that dogs can get Lupus. It is the same disease that affects humans. The cause in both dogs and humans is unknown and in humans seems to affect women most often and those of the African, Asian, Hispanic and Native American descent. Although in dogs it does not seem to discriminate between sexes or breeds.
Lupus is a disease where the dog's immune system attacks itself destroying healthy tissue. The problem in diagnosing Lupus is that it often mimics other diseases.
The signs of Lupus are:
Increased respiratory rate
Thinning of the skin
Lack of Appetite and weight loss
Abnormal behavior such as aggression
Renal disorders
Widespread arthritis
While there is no cure for Lupus, the good news is that it is relatively rare.
If you suspect that your dog has Lupus, take them to a veterinarian. Diagnosing Lupus is done through a battery of tests to eliminate other similar diseases.

NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the schedule tells The Associated Press that the NFL has devised a temporary five-week setup for using replacement officials.
The regular on-field officials are locked out and replacements worked the preseason and the first week of the regular season.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not made public officiating schedules.
In early June, the league locked out the officials, who are part-time NFL employees, after their collective bargaining agreement expired. The NFL Referees Association and the league met for three days at the beginning of September before talks collapsed.

Color Terms
There are many terms which are used to describe colors, and often there is some confusion as to what each of the terms mean. Here I will try to explain some of the most common terms use in color theory.
Hue is somewhat synonymous to what we usually refer to as "colors". Red, green, blue, yellow, and orange are a few examples of different hues. The different hues have different wavelenghts in the spectrum.
The value is a measurement of the brightness of a colour. The brighter a colour is, the higher is its value and the more light it emits. For instance, a vivid yellow is brighter than dark blue, therefore its value is higher than that of the blue. A good way to see the difference in the values of colours is to look at the corresponding greyscale version.
Tint and Shade
These are terms to describe how a color varies from its original hue. If white is added, the lighter version of the color is called a tint of the color. On the other hand, if black is added the, darker version of the color is called a shade of the color.
Saturation can also be called a color's intensity. It is a measurement of how different from pure grey the color is. Saturation is not really a matter of light and dark, but rather how pale or strong the colour is. The saturation of a color is not constant, but it varies depending on the surroundings and what light the color is seen in.

Don and Sue Sausser awoke on Sunday to find an unidentified species of owl in their 10th story apartment in downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho according to a CDA Press report. The owl gained entry to their apartment through the sliding glass door leading to the apartment balcony. The Saussers were disturbed to find bird dropping all through their apartment. Don spotted the owl behind a chest but the owl flew out the doorway, leaving feathers all through the apartment.
Evening more disturbing was the sight in their wire birdcage. Evidently the owl somehow lifted the cage door with its beak, talons, or head, repositioned the water dish, and killed one of the canaries inside. The other canary was letting out loud, nervous chirps and was visibly shaken by the incident.
Beth Paragamian, an Idaho wildlife education specialist, said it was unusual for owls to fly so high in an area that did not have tall trees. She sent images to the Saussers so they could identify the owl's species. While the Saussers will continue to leave the sliding glass door open, they will put twist-ties on the birdcage to deter the owl just in case he decides to return.
In 2007, ecologists discovered owls in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ornithologists have long-believed that the barred owls require old growth forests in order to survive. The owls must think differently, and most Charlotteans do not mind that the owls share their yards. There are so many owls that tagging and research is being conducted to study the 78 pairs of owls and their nesting habits.
Urban bats live under the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, while deer and skunks have also been seen in Northwest Austin. Coyotes wander into residential areas of Scottsdale, Arizona, and many sightings of wildlife in or near residential areas have been reported.
With the bizarre cold in the northeast and extreme heat in the southwest, who knows what critters may appear next.

Here is the story of Elise Testone, as told by Idol: Elise charmed the world with approximately one note televised during auditions. That one note was scintillating enough to earn her the wacky, loving and tough coaching of Steven, Jennifer and Randy, plus Jimmy Iovine from time to time. Together, they taught the fledgling-yet-strangely-elderly singerlet to find her calling: rock music! She left in sixth place because, y'know, sometimes Ryan Seacrest has to make bad things happen.
Everything in that paragraph was wrong, by the way. Here is the story of Elise Testone, as told by reality: A fantastic blues-rock singer (who is younger than Nicki Minaj, i.e. not old) spent years honing her craft and talent in South Carolina, then went on Idol because for all its infinite faults, it does sometimes get you exposure. Idol proceeded to do nothing with her: no introductory personality package, no showcasing, no real critique whatsoever, and no recognition that hey, here's a singer with all the voice, gravitas and realness of Adele, someone whose breakthrough might be a fluke but whose successors might nevertheless be in labels' top ten gets and who could do quite well. Instead, Elise joined Allison Iraheta, Gina Glocksen, Carly Smithson, Erika Van Pelt and countless others in early elimination, all because she made the crucial mistake of being one or more of the following: female, older, possibly unconventionally attractive, sometimes un-perky, a rock singer and not a WGWG.
Elise said it best herself, in a comment I'm flabbergasted nobody edited out: "How do I not get slapped for looking a certain [unenthused] way without looking fake?" Good question, Elise. How should a woman–it's usually a woman–act when life, or Idol, shits on her week after week, when you've got to be happy and simultaneously have to be genuine? How do you solve your "personality problem" when your "personality problem" is a combination of genuine, rational responses and creative TV editing? How do you turn yourself into a marketable country spritzer like Skylar, a steely pageant child like Jessica or a sparkly pageant sprite like Hollie? (To be fair, Hollie did slip in a half-miked, seemingly real "oh, lord" before rewatching her performance. So maybe the sparkles are creative editing too.)
You don't. You take your sixth-place finish and the fanbase and connections you've developed and go off and make excellent music. Allison, Gina and Carly all did. Erika might. Hell, even Tora Woloshin did, and she didn't even make the finals of her show. This might not be as immediately gratifying to recappers as throwing a Fiona Apple "this world is bullshit" fit of rebellion–which Elise didn't do, but which she deserved to–but it'll be better for her career, should she get one. (She should.)
Sigh. On to the superlatives. This week, they're doozies.
LEAST LIKELY REFERENCE: Katy Perry's track, which was almost certainly sung live–well, live to a track and probably pre-recorded, but live in some part, at some point–unsurprisingly got a military theme. (Some would argue it got more than just a theme.) This mostly meant that she was dropped in by (prop) helicopter and marched to drumrolls and drill-sergeant orders, and that the bridge bathed stage and dancers in a sea of thick green light. In other words, Katy Perry's arguable military propaganda just alluded to "Dulce et Decorum Est". That is kind of sweet and right.
MOST INFLUENTIAL TRACK ON MODERN B-LIST POP MUSIC, SHE REALIZED WHILE IN HER ROOM WATCHING IDOL: The Vengaboys' "Boom Boom Boom." Even putting aside every possible argument containing the word "EDM," first Rye Rye interpolated its chorus, and now Stefano's song is practically the same thing.
I am sorry, Rye Rye, for putting you in the same paragraph as Stefano Langone. I suspect a lot more people will be a lot more upset with me for putting Stefano in the same paragraph as Rye Rye. They are wrong.
MOST "CLUBBY" PERFORMANCE: Not the Vengaboys one. Not Katy Perry's "Part of Me." According to esteemed record-industry man Jimmy Iovine, Elise Testone's Queen song–also called a "monotone stadium anthem"–was too clubby to save her.
MOST ICONIC VIDEO THAT JIMMY IOVINE MIGHT ACTUALLY NOT KNOW: "Bohemian Rhapsody," whose four-heads intro Jessica used as a graphic and which Jimmy called "less Queen than Steven King." Are you starting to doubt Jimmy Iovine's job qualifications here? Maybe a little? Relax, he's probably
BEST GOOGLE-FU: TMZ, who dug and scoured and mined data and searched far and wide on the mean streets with nothing but a reporter's notebook and pluck to learn that Joshua's nickname Mantasia is also the name of a male strip club. Also, the No. 1 search result. Keep making yourself useful, TMZ.
LEAST NECESSARY, IN GENERAL: TMZ. Did we mention this was an entire segment? Didn't you feel fantastic about yourself and your life choices while watching this?
BEST EXTRA: The kid in the audience who jumped up and waved his arms while Ryan introduced himself. So some people still feel fantastic while watching this. They're just usually toddlers.
MOST LIKELY TO SPAWN FANFICTION: The following exchange between Ryan and Joshua:
Ryan: (after reading some tweets) "Thanks, Joshua. Call me."
Joshua: "I will!"
(Runner-up: The Queen Extravaganza performance, if only because that basically was Queen self-insert fanfic.)
MOST CONSPICUOUS ABSENCE FROM PROCEEDINGS: In the Ford Music Video, Jessica can magically turn soap bubbles into birds, as if she's Zooey Deschanel or something. Elise can re-animate origami frogs. Hollie and Joshua can flirt. Skylar can carry bags or something. Phillip Phillips apparently can do nothing, because he wasn't in it. And with that, I turn things over to Richard Lawson:
J.Lo has it bad for Phil Phillips. I wonder if she's hit that up yet. Do you think? I bet she's doing some sort of tantra delay thing and she will just motherf-cking pounce on him at the finale party. Just a flurry of extensions and gold jewelry, flying at him with sonic speed. That'll be fun for him. For now it's all foreplay and he knows it. He deeply knows it. She knows it. "Was that song for me?" she of the famous rump asked, mock offended. Phil just grinned his country grin, trying to act cool, trying to think about his grandma's legs and baseball and whatever else would cool him down. "He's always faking sick to get out of going to shoots and stuff," one of the other contestants said about Phil in a video segment. MhHm. Suuure. That's why he wants to stay back at the mansion alone. To avoid photoshoots. Riiiight.
ON THAT NOTE: So many unmiked-yet-audible comments! Like this one, loud and clear amid the audience booing in response to Jimmy Iovine saying "someone other than Phillip" might be in the finale, which is kind of like saying "one of these coins is not a nickel" but still: "YOU'RE STILL SEXY!"
That comment came from the general direction of J. Lo. We're just saying.

Sakowitz, O W; Unterberg, A W; Stover, J F (2002). Neuronal activity determined by quantitative EEG and cortical microdialysis is increased following controlled cortical impact injury in rats. In: Czosnyka, M. Intracranial pressure and brain biochemical monitoring. Wien: Springer, 221-223.
Full text not available from this repository.
Following brain injury increased glutamate release is linked to sustained neuronal activation resulting in excitotoxic tissue damage. Isoflurane anesthesia has been shown to decrease electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and extracellular (e.c.) glutamate, possibly attenuating excitotoxic tissue damage. However, based on clinical experience EEG activity can fluctuate despite stable isoflurane concentrations. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the impact of neuronal activity assessed by quantitative EEG on e.c. glutamate during isoflurane anesthesia following controlled cortical impact injury (CCII). In 10 rats balanced anesthesia using isoflurane was induced at 4 hours after CCII. Under steady-state conditions maintaining isoflurane at 1.8 vol%, EEG was recorded for 3 hours. During this period, e.c. glutamate was sampled in the pericontusional cortex by microdialysis. Despite maintaining isoflurane at 1.8 vol%, neuronal activity expressed as low frequency EEG power showed marked fluctuations. Spontaneous increases in neuronal activity coincided with elevated e.c. glutamate levels and vice versa. Overall, EEG power correlated significantly with pathologically elevated e.c. glutamate levels (n = 58; R2 = 0.54; p < 0.05). Despite unchanged isoflurance concentrations fluctuations in neuronal activity were reflected by altered EEG power and e.c. glutamate concentrations. Therefore, neuronal activity needs to be considered for the interpretation of e.c. glutamate levels.

DEBUT AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: Mark D. Evans "No Shelter from Darkness" (Urban Fantasy/Horror)
Debut Author Spotlight is a Saturday feature at Book Chick City. We will be showcasing a debut author each week from the genres of horror, urban fantasy and paranormal romance. We will give you all the relevant book information as well as an insight into the author.
MARK D. EVANS was born near London, England. He graduated university with a degree in something not even remotely connected with writing and went on to become a successful consultant. Then he threw it all away to chase his dream of being an author, via a considerable amount of travelling. Today, his life largely resembles that of a nomad, and he can currently be found typing away in a tiny flat in north London, sustained by coffee.
GENRE: Urban Fantasy/Horror | RELEASE DATE: June 2013 | PUBLISHER: Booktrope
"Her hands began to shake as she looked down wide-eyed at the blood-soaked cotton that covered her." London emerges from the Blitz, and every corner of the city bears the scars. In the East End-a corner fairing worse than most-thirteen year-old Beth Wade endures this new way of life with her adoptive family. She also suffers the prejudice against her appearance, an abiding loneliness and now the trials of adolescence. But with this new burden comes a persisting fatigue and an unquenchable thirst that ultimately steals her into unconsciousness…
What happens next is the start of something Beth will fear more than the war itself. She begins to change in ways that can't be explained by her coming-of-age, none more frightening than her need to consume blood. The family who took her in and the former best friend who's taken refuge in their house can never know. Aware of the danger she poses to everyone around her, Beth has never felt more alone. But someone else knows Beth's secret… someone who understands just how different she really is. He alone can decrypt her past and explain her future. But he's been sworn to destroy her kind, and as Beth grows ever more dangerous, he's forced to take sides. Can Beth keep all of the secrets? Can she trust a man sworn to kill her? And can she stop the vampire within from taking her humanity?
What is NO SHELTER FROM DARKNESS about?
My book is about the hardships that befall a young girl who has always been different from everyone else, and then discovers she's more different than anyone could ever have imagined. It's a true coming-of-age story in so many ways, and in this case the responsibility she must learn to carry is one that could kill those she loves.
But on top of the personal story of a young girl turning into a vampire woman, is also that of her best friend and other family members, and how it affects them even though they don't truly know what's going on. And of course, what you as the reader will really want to know, is just how in the hell does a vampire child get mixed up in a human family in the first place? All that's explained via some shocking revelations, while keeping everything firmly grounded in reality against the backdrop of the Second World War.
Tell us a bit more about the hero/heroine in NO SHELTER FROM DARKNESS
The primary protagonist is a 13-year old girl who was adopted as a baby. From her outward appearance it's clear to everyone that her family isn't her flesh and blood, and in fact her exotic appearance and darker skin is the initial cause of her out-casting. Because of this she has a natural independence, strengthened when the only friend she had seemingly turned against her not long before where the book picks up. Used to being on her own, she's determined to get through adolescence in much the same way, until the weird changes start occurring like the heightened senses and what she eventually learns is a thirst for blood. Finally she's faced with something that truly scares her, and the one person she ends up confiding in is the last person on earth she expected to.
How did you research NO SHELTER FROM DARKNESS?
Development was what made up the majority of the book's lifecycle and I dare say I spent longer researching than writing. Half of that research was done because the book is set in 1941, during World War 2. It was important for me to get the details right, not so that I could be informative about life during the war, but so that the period could blend in to the background and be non-intrusive. The book isn't about the war, but I needed to know everything about the war to make it feel real. This meant lots of reading, watching films and visiting museums and archives. A lot of the events that happen in the book happened in real life.
The other half of the research (and far more than half, to be honest) was to create my vampires. As you may have gathered, making the book feel real was a priority, and this meant my vampires had to be realistic, too. Gone are all supernatural elements, and instead I've used science to explain everything. If I couldn't explain something using science, it's not in the book. I love the idea of vampires not having a reflection, but there's no plausible way I could explain it and so they can see themselves in the mirror. In fact, as the book is set in the real world, I subtly explain away elements of popular vampire myth. As such, my research included a lot of biology and history, going through hundreds of articles in both hard copy and online encyclopaedias. I have medical books and history books falling off my shelves (not really, but I do have a few).
Is NO SHELTER FROM DARKNESS the first in a series or a stand alone novel?
It is indeed the first book in a series, and it's called The Cruentus Saga. "Cruentus" is a latin word and among other things (depending on context), it can mean "bloodthirsty". I roughly mapped out the entire series before starting book one, and as such I can say that five books are planned in total. This isn't to say there won't be six if I find that the overall story needs expanding, but at present and for a very long time now, five is the number I have in mind.
Each novel is it's own story, but each is also one part of a larger story. I aim to provide a certain amount of closure with each book, but at the same time pave the way for the next.
When and where is your favourite time to write?
I'm fortunately blessed to be able to write pretty much anywhere, even if it's in an airport on my iPad. My favourite place is probably the old cliche of a cafe with a latte at my fingertips, but this is expensive and not wholly ideal (going to the toilet always poses a problem – do you leave your stuff at the table risking it being stolen, or take it with you and risk losing your seat?). So, at home at my desk is the usual place. And no matter how early in the day I intend to write, you can be sure I won't get started until the evening. I have no idea why, other than I am a true master at procrastination.
When did you decide to become a writer?
It was in 2005 when I decided to make the leap and ditch my old life to start anew. Until then I was just playing around with the idea, doing little bits of development and research but not really having any particular plan. I would go around saying I wanted to write a book, this book, but I didn't really put any real effort into it until then.
What was the last book you enjoyed and why?
Darn. I read two really good books back-to-back and can't remember the order, so it was either 1984 by George Orwell or The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas. If it was 1984 I enjoyed it because I love reading old books that depict the future that we are now living in. And of course, though not bang on the money, Orwell got a hell of a lot right. I think the book must have more significance now than it did when it was first published. And that ending? Oh, man.
If it was Mr. Y, what can I say? Pure genius. I love books that have originality and this had bucket-loads, and again, what en ending. A few of my favourite books have very mediocre endings, but I enjoy them for the ride. But these two, the endings didn't disappoint at all.
Which authors do you admire?
Dean Koontz is simply amazing with both his prose and his ideas. Chuck Palahniuk for having the balls to write the stuff he does. But there are authors I admire who aren't necessarily one of my favourites. I've read Stephen King, only a fraction in comparison to his entire catalogue, and while I enjoy his work something always stops me from listing him as a favourite. Yet I still admire him immensely, not least for his sheer capacity of imagination. It seems limitless. But further, there are authors I admire whom I have never even read. I have not read any of the Harry Potter books (gasp), but I still admire JK Rowling for creating such a rich and complete world.
Describe yourself in five words.
Dreamer. Geek. Confused. Complicated. Odd.
What's next?
The opposite to previous. (That's been done before, right?) I am currently finishing up the first draft of book two of The Cruentus Saga. After that there'll be a lot of tinkering with details and plot threads before doing the second draft and beyond. Sometime soon I'd like to do another short story (I have two available already), and there are other novel ideas waiting to be worked on. And there will always be the next cup of coffee.

Bill of Rights saves lives again
Last Wednesday in Omaha, Neb., gun control failed America again. Robert A. Hawkins, a deranged 19-year-old illegally possessing an illicit AK-47 illegally smuggled his weapon past "No concealed weapons allowed" signs at a gun-free shopping mall. As he casually picked off shoppers and mall employees, unarmed security officers only could duck and cover. Police were there within minutes, but by then, he had killed eight, wounded three and committed suicide.
On Sunday in Colorado Springs, Colo., the Second Amendment saved lives again. A gunman with a high-powered rifle opened fire at the New Life Church, killing two and wounding two before an armed guard blew him away. Police arrived three minutes later; had the killer been up against an unarmed flock, three minutes might have seemed like an eternity to the 7,000 people on the campus. Police are investigating whether that rampage was connected to one hours earlier in a Denver suburb, where two unarmed people at a missionary center were slain.

Travel the Tulsa Tunnels
1 hour walking tour
Walk over and under the streets of downtown Tulsa on a walking tour via the Tulsa tunnels. See ornate buildings of art deco and gothic design built during the oil boom days of the early 20th century.
See sculptures, murals and paintings in those buildings. Walk across the streets under the streets on this tour, going back in time to see Tulsa when it was in its early days. This is a great tour for groups of friends, co-workers, school kids, and people of all ages! Come downtown on a walking tour to see a glimpse of Tulsa's fascinating past.
All our tours are private so you can choose the time and day that works best for you. The tunnels are open during the work week during the work week hours. Your group can be from 1 to 15 people. Cash, checks or credit is accepted. You will be walking about 8 blocks on the one hour tour, three inside and four outside. Your guide will cover many areas of interest, including fascinating local history, architecture, and art information. Questions are welcome, and our guides are used to gearing discussions to a variety of ages and interests. The starting point of the walking tour is flexible. People staying at downtown motels, for example, can start and end at their hotel if they wish.
Art Deco Tour
2 to 4 hour, step-on guide service
Hear about and see the sites that tell the story of Tulsa from its beginning to its presence today as a diverse and beautiful city. Hear of the men and women, Native Americans and cowboys, back when the Indians were the cowboys! Hear about those who came to strike it rich and the locals who also struck it rich; settlers from all parts of this country and the world who were responsible for Tulsa's beginnings and its oil-boom growth.
Tulsa, known for its art deco architecture, is also known as "terra-cotta city" for the elaborate ornamentation including gargoyles on some of the downtown buildings. On this tour we will drive by and maybe go inside to see the lobbies of several of these historic buildings. We'll travel to the Creek Council Oak Tree and Park where the original Tulsans settled and named Tulsa"Tullasi". We'll drive through "Black Gold Row," blocks of mansions built by the oilmen in the 1920s when Tulsa was the "Oil Capitol" of the entire world! We may drive by the Philbrook Museum of Art, once the private home of Waite Phillips, one of the oil barons from early Tulsa. We could see the Gilcrease Museum on our tour or take a walk through the beautiful Tulsa Rose Garden, home of over 10,000 varieties of roses, and drive to the campus of Oral Roberts University to see the Praying Hands. We may go to historic Greenwood, once called "Black Wall Street," home of a thriving African-American community in the early 20th century; then on to the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park where the history of African-Americans in this country and in Tulsa is told in sculpture. This park, built to honor the survivors of what has been called a race riot that occurred in 1921, is a place for hope and reconciliation between races.
Tulsa, once called "Magic City" and the south's "Most Beautiful City," has a powerful and moving story that can be seen through its past and present. The history of Tulsa and the remarkable resilience and indomitable spirit of its friendly and generous people make Tulsa as exciting to visit today as it was when it was the "Oil Capitol of the World."
Church Tours
A City of Beautiful Houses of Worship
2 to 4 hours
Astonishing church buildings, built with grandeur and beauty in styles of both the past and present are an important part of Tulsa's past and Tulsa today. On this tour we'll hear about the founding of the downtown churches built between 1914 and 1929 when oil and prayer funded these powerful monuments to religious beliefs that are still vibrant and active today. We'll visit the interior of a number of the churches to see their extraordinary beauty close-up and hear about their history. The churches of Tulsa tell the story of its people and their faith, a story that resonates in the past and reverberates for the present and the future.
*Churches include those of various denominations and faiths.
Art and Architecture
The "High Points" of Tulsa Tour
2 to 4 hours
Hear the story of Tulsa told by its architectural treasures, sculptures, and murals in parks, on the streets and in buildings. They tell the story of Tulsa's past, present and hopes for the future. Included on this tour are bronze and wood sculptures, some depicting real people, including an actress who graduated from a Tulsa high school and won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a saint in a movie made in 1943. This art also depicts oilmen, roughnecks, policemen, Native Americans, prominent African-Americans from Tulsa, settlers, and aviation pioneers; people from Tulsa history. It includes the good guys and the bad guys, the ordinary everyday people, the famous and the infamous, and events from Tulsa's past.
On this tour we'll also see buildings that reflect the grand vision Tulsa had in the early days and we'll see architecture that embodies the bold spirit of the time and the high hopes for the future of this diverse, beautiful and complex city. The story of Tulsa in its art and architecture is the story of our country: the past, the present, the pride, the vision and the hopeful future that make Tulsa a great place to visit and a great place to live.

Reviews for Pepperoni Ziti Casserole
"No need for the ground turkey. I doubled spinach. I substituted cottage cheese for the ricotta. Delicious!- Theresa"
"The whole family really enjoyed this and I love casseroles, win-win. A lot of flavor in this simple ingredient recipe. Perfect amount of sauce to noodle ratio. Since shredded mozzarella comes in 2 cup bags I used the 2 cups. Thanks for the recipe."
"Perfect! I must admit when I usually make a baked ziti dish I do not follow a recipe. Not now! This is our new go-to recipe. As a volunteer food editor for Taste of Home I appreciate recipes that are easy to assemble and provide lots of flavor. Not to mention lots of food for a family of five. With or without the pepperoni this is a great dish!"
"saving recipe! thanky ou for sharing TOH. J."
"Really please with the way this turned out. Prep took a bit longer than I expected, but overall I was happy with it! Definitely feels healthier than eating a traditional ziti...there is a lot less cheese. If you want more - just add it in!"

The results can be frightening, but can they motivate you? For the first time, doctors are trying to use genetic testing to get people to live healthier lives.
New mom, Melissa Christenson runs marathons and eats her vegetables, but the healthy 30-year-old recently discovered she is a candidate for heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis - warnings straight from her own DNA.
It doesn't mean for sure that you'll get any of these health conditions. There are things you can do to stay healthy regardless of your genetic markers.
Christenson is one of the first few hundred Americans to see a personal, practical benefit from the Human Genome Project. Since science can now map the DNA that makes you you, doctors can now pinpoint the genetic traits that might make you sick if you're not careful.
"We could identify people who are at risk early in their life, long before they become overweight or become inactive or smoke cigarettes," said Colleen McBride with the National Human Genome Research Institute.
A simple blood test checks for eight different genetic flaws that often give rise to the eight diseases that kill and cost the most. Among them - skin, lung and colon cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease.
"I'm hoping we find that this information really hits home with people and where maybe before they weren't as committed, now here it is in black and white and its reality so they feel more motivated," said Susan Alford, Principle Researcher of the Henry Ford Hospital.
The idea is to inspire healthy people to stay that way so right now they only test people for preventable diseases, but this is also an experiment to see how much grim information a person actually wants. Doctors are anxious to know what emotional barriers stand between patients and technology, but for Christenson, this knowledge is power and the generic advice to "take your vitamins and exercise" now has very new and very personal meaning.

The two sides reviewed bilateral relations, with Prince Saud stressing the Kingdom's commitment to supporting Tunisia.
While on their two-day visit, Prince Saud and Prince Abdulaziz also met with Tunisian Interim Prime Minister Baji Gaed Al-Sabasi and Foreign Minister Al-Mouldi Al-Kafi.

Whether it's a new romance or a relationship in need of romance, take these makeup tips into consideration when getting ready for your loved one this Valentine's Day.
There is a parody on Facebook of a girl wearing a ton of makeup. Her boyfriend states "you don't need makeup, you look better natural". The next picture shows her wearing makeup but the natural look we have come to love with nude eye colors and little bit of blush. Her guy says "See, told ya you would look better without any makeup". The last picture the girl is wearing no makeup and he says "Yikes are you feeling ok? You look sick." The lesson learned here is that less is more, but definitely some!
However, because it's Valentine's Day, it's okay to go a little outside of the box. Why not shy away from the black smoky eye and the au natural look. Why not make your eyes pop. After all, the eyes are the window to the soul. So trap your man in those eyes over a steamy candlelit dinner.
If you have brown eyes you have a lot to play with. Any warm color will make them stand out. If your eyes are green, play with a plum/eggplant color. Blue eyes really pop with bronze colors. My go-to eye shadow palette is the original Naked by Urban Decay. This palette has a couple of nude matte colors as well as many shimmery. It's perfect for every occasion.
Additionally, eyeliner application can be detrimental in making your eyes pop. My favorite one is Tarte's multiplEYE liquid in black. Liquid eyeliner is easier to build a thicker line without going too thick. It's also great for creating a cat eye or little wings. This eyeliner is liquid in a pen and the tip is like a very fine paint brush. In order to make your eyes pop, start with a very thin line towards the inside of your eye, and as you draw out make it thicker then square off the end. This gives different shape to your eyes and makes them look bigger.
Mascara- the "most girls can't live without item on a desert island"! You can't really go wrong as long as you pick a voluminous mascara to help lengthen and thicken your lashes to give them a dreamy look. My top picks are Big Fatty by Urban Decay, and They're Real by Benefit. When applying mascara on your top lashes, close your eyes as much as you can while still seeing and apply the mascara to the top of your lashes. After letting that dry for a few seconds open your eyes and apply the mascara regularly to the front of your lashes. This will thicken! I learned this trick working at Ulta and have done my eyelashes this way since then.
Now you have the perfect romancing eyes this Valentine's day. Dreamy and eye popping.
As always, you are beautiful!

If you want to buy something that equals a steal for your money then faux fur is the way to go. Seeing as the season truly did just change to winter, this means that you have a few months to rock the look out.
The original picture that was going to be shown was from, (you won't believe it!), Eddie Bauer. After receiving one of their bad boy faux fur vests for Christmas, it seemed a must to share with you. However, unable to grab a pic and having sent the one that was given to me back in for a different size, you are about to view some other very worthy furry friends.
Having purchased what seems to look like a shag rug to me at a thrift store, people would come out of nowhere to see if the faux was actual fur. Seemingly matted in my eyes, others looked at it in sheer glory. I don't think that there are many tips that can be given for wearing faux fur, but it can be worn anywhere...
Throw on some jeans, boots of any sort and you're ready to jump out the door. Paired with jeans and heels with socks, you get a great look that you can still rock through the season. Have a shindig to attend? Throw on a little black dress your heels and faux fur and get to party hopping.
Faux furs are easy to keep, (real furs have to be kept in certain climates), inexpensive, and look great on any person. Even Johhny Weir loves them, (... but then again maybe his are real ;)).

No, this not a debate on epidurals...
My husband and I live on the east coast, and our whole family lives on the west. Because we'll have a 3 year old son when this new baby is born, we'll need someone to watch our son while I'm in the hospital laboring.
My husband thinks it's a fantastic idea to call his mom when I start "labor" and she'll get on the next air plane and fly out. But that will only work if I have an early labor longer than 10 hours. I had a pretty fast labor with my son, and I imagine this labor will go faster.
I do have neighbors that would help, but I just feel bad for my son who likes to sleep in his bed and is most comfortable at home. And I don't have any neighbor that I'm comfortable calling at 3am for help. My husband vetoed hiring help.
The other option would be to invite his mother to stay with us 2 weeks before my due date, just so I know she's here. But I think that will drive me nuts. I don't want her in my business while I'm in labor.
What would you do? Suck it up and get the help around the house with my son for a couple weeks? Or go with a "last minute" plan that might end up with me giving birth without my husband because he's watching our son in the waiting room?

State police are investigating the double suicide of a man and a woman from Clayton whose bodies were found inside a parked vehicle at Blackbird State Forest near Townsend on Jan. 2.
The bodies of the 32-year-old man and 23-year-old woman were discovered by a state forest employee in a campground at the Tybout Tract in the 500 block of Blackbird Forest Road about 1:10 p.m., according to Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The bodies were later taken to the state medical examiner's office, which determined their deaths to have been the result of suicide.
Police are not releasing the names of the couple.
Shavack said detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
However, no further information would be released, he said.

Influential bloggers from boldface names Tavi and Bryanboy to up-and-coming online scribes have unquestionably revolutionized the fashion landscape. Love Blogging explores the implications of this platform with a short series of five films about bright young bloggers along with tips for how to build a great blog of your own. Get a behind the scenes look at anonymous blogger Disney Roller Girl's industry influence with a JC Report-exclusive film clip and interview, followed by a film about how upstarts Alice, Letty and Louise combined their independent blogs to create an online fanzine.
JC Report: Why did you start blogging? Did you know your work was going to be impactful then?
Disney Roller Girl: I've always been interested in fashion and writing but the publication I was working for at the time had no space for the type of things I wanted to cover. I'm also very opinionated and generally when you write for magazines you can't be objective, you have to say everything is lovely. So I decided a blog would be a good place to empty my brain and also practice being more analytical with my writing. Of course, when you start a blog, you're thinking "no one's going to read this" so you can be really vocal about your opinions. It's only now, three years on, that I find myself thinking, "Hmmm, should I really be saying this or am I going to end up pissing someone off?" No one knows when they start a project if it's going to be impactful. You'd like to think it might be, but honestly that wasn't at all what I was thinking. I was really just playing and also learning how to use the technology.
JCR: How important is blogging? What does it mean for brands and companies? What does it mean for you?
DRG: Blogging is fashionable at the moment so there's a lot of hoo-ha surrounding it but I really think it has legs, and brands have seen the impact it can have. I've noticed especially for brands and designers that don't have a big PR machine, word of mouth (which is essentially what blogging and tweeting is) can achieve phenomenal results in brand recognition and perception. For me as a consumer, blogging means that our voices are being heard and brands want to engage with us. As a fashion professional, my blog has become a shop window for some of my skills and has brought recognition to me that would otherwise have passed me by. Also though, as an anonymous blogger who works in the fashion industry, I am seeing things from two sides, as an insider and an outsider. The view is fascinating!
JCR: How do you think it will change or morph?
DRG: I have worked in online media (among other things) for over ten years and have seen a lot of changes. In 1999, I wrote fashion articles for a website which were 400-500 words long. Then it was decided that people didn't want to read long articles on a screen, they wanted easily digestible galleries of top ten images to scroll through in their lunch hour. As we started using laptops, it become normal to consume media on screens for longer periods of time. But as we start consuming media on the go with smart phones and tablet devices, attention spans will get shorter again. I think people will want to look at pictures and videos rather than text when they're on the move, so I see visual blogs like Tumblr becoming more important. I also see video blogging growing as it's another new skill to learn, the technology is cheaper and easier and it hasn't been done to death. People want to be able to relate to bloggers, and video will bring them to life.
JCR: Any tips on how brands can engage you? What about people who want to start bogs? What advice would you give them?
DRG: Brands need to realize that bloggers don't need help with their content, they have plenty of their own ideas. A blog is personal so a blogger will only write about what resonates with them. However if a brand does its research and targets blogs that are relevant to it, then there can be mutual benefits. On the whole though, just sending out a press release saying, "please feature our product" is really misunderstanding blogs. Brands and their publicists should get to know their target bloggers and work with them to create unique content so that you don't get ten blogs all running the same story on the same day. That's when it gets boring. For those who want to start blogs, I'd suggest thinking about why you want to have a blog. What do you want to communicate? If you really have something to say then a blog is an amazing communication tool. A blog is great if you're a creative, as you can really use it to showcase your art or styling or illustration or opinions. It makes a lot of sense from that point of view. But if you do it with the sole aim of becoming famous or being sent free Chanel handbags then I'm sorry, that just ain't gonna happen.

Need help finding a new Gym
June 8, 2013 1 Comment
I'm looking for a new gym to join, preferably one with a pool (but not a must if the gym is really great). These are the three new gyms that I like, but each of them has some negatives (no pool, price, don't open on Fridays… etc) and some positives (personal trainers, full gym\spa, quite… etc). Rush is located in Salhiya, Thermae in AlHamra mall in Kuwait City, and Steam is in Yarmouk.
There are a others that I haven't included (like the 360 mall one), because I know I won't join them (imagine finding a parking spot in 360!).
So if you have any recommendations or if you know of other gyms that might be good, then please let me know.

There's no doubt that downtown Columbus is a great destination for the festivities around the Fourth of July. Comfest is a major draw for those who love great music, culture, and fun. Red, White, & Boom is always a huge draw for tens of thousands of people in the area, and who can forget the fun and craziness of the Doodah Parade?
But what's the number one reason people don't partake of these fun events? That's right - traffic. No one likes to be stuck behind the wheel with cranky, tired kids for an extra hour or two while downtown Columbus clears out after the last rocket blows up and the music dies away for another year.
There's a solution, and COTA and Pedal Instead are that solution.
COTA's offering extra buses heading into and out of downtown before, during, and after the Red, White, & Boom fireworks from 5:30 to 8:30. There are also extra express routes for those who live further outside of downtown with pickup at the various Park'n'Ride locations around the city and in the various suburbs! In addition, showing your COTA pass (or express ride wristband or BuckID) will get you into Huntington Park for a comfortable viewing of the fireworks free of extra charge!
Prices and schedules are available at the Red, White & Boom page.
As always, bikes are welcome in and around Red, White & Boom (and with more bike racks downtown than ever before, parking them safely will be even easier!).
In addition, for Comfest and the Doodah Parade, the folks at Pedal Instead are offering their now-famous free bike corrals to allow you to get to the festival (this weekend) and the parade on July 4th, park your bike safely, and enjoy all the festivities.
Pedal Instead is also looking for volunteers to help out at the corrals. Sign up is on the page linked to above. And tips are accepted at the corral to help defray costs!

Arizona Women's Basketball vs. Louisiana Tech
December 3, 2006
Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini
"This was a game that will not be one of our highlights, but it was a good game. I thought Shannon (Hobson) had a great presence in the post, she had a lot of energy coming off of the bench. Ashley (Whisonant) and Joy (Hollingsworth) did great in the backcourt as well."
"Once we got running, we were playing very well. We knew that we needed to get to the free-throw line and rebound; those were both key statistics for us today."
"They (Louisiana Tech) are a great program and I am proud of our players for how they played. This is a good win for us."
"When a team loses, they show their character after that loss. A lot of the things that we worked on before today showed in the game."
Junior Forward/Center Shannon Hobson
"After taking a year off I didn't think it would be so difficult to come back, but my mind was racing at a hundred miles an hour. I'm definitely more comfortable on the court now."
"I'm very hard on myself, but my teammates are great at helping me through things. It really helps when your teammates are always there to pick you up."
"We have the ability to play inside-out. If the post dominates then the guards will be wide open, and if the guards are dominating then that frees up the post. If we take advantage of mismatches we can be unstoppable."
"All I try to do every night is go out there and have fun."
Senior Guard Joy Hollingsworth
"I think coming into the game the guards were looking to score more. We had to set the tone on defense first, though."
"Shannon (Hobson) came off the bench and was our sparkplug. She gives the whole team a boost when she's out there, I really fed off of here energy."
"We had good scouting and a strong practice. Our practice players played that hard Louisiana Tech defense against us, which really helped prepare us."

Lancaster County Council reversed course on the Avondale development Monday night, voting to more forward with the project despite pleas from an overflowing chamber of red-shirted Indian Land residents.
But the council also is placing the proposed Ansley Park project back on the agenda for its June 27 meeting, to address neighbors' concerns about a change in the plan that they fear will worsen traffic.
The Avondale ordinance will return to council for a second reading June 27. A public hearing will be held before the third and final reading.
Facing an agitated crowd from the Panhandle, Lancaster County Council on Monday night reinstated two Indian Land members of the county planning commission who had been removed for missing too many meetings.
Jerry Holt and David Freeman both missed five meetings this fiscal year, which automatically vacated their seats under county ordinance.
Before voting, council members warned the two that if they wanted to be on the commission, they had to show up.
Lancaster County Council took the first step Monday night toward approving a 2 percent hospitality tax. The first reading of the ordinance passed 5-2.
The tax would apply to all establishments that sell prepared meals and beverages located in the unincorporated areas of Lancaster County.
"Estimated revenue from the hospitality tax could be as high as $800,000 per year," said County Administrator Steve Willis.
A 7-year-old Lancaster boy riding a scooter died Monday evening after he was struck by a cargo truck.
The Lancaster County Coroner's Office identified the child as Nija K. Tinsley Jr. of Forest Glen Drive.
The accident happened about 6:20 on Morningside Drive about 1.8 miles south of Lancaster near the intersection of China Berry Drive, Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Garry Miller said.
Retiring Lancaster Fire Chief Chuck Small was named the state's top fire chief this past weekend during the 2016 S.C. State Association of Fire Chiefs Leadership Conference in Myrtle Beach.
Small, who announced his retirement in late May after 38 years on the job due to health concerns, received the 2016 Fritz Turner Award on Saturday.
This Saturday morning, members of at least 33 congregations across the county are gathering at Lancaster's Historic Courthouse in what is expected to be a prayer demonstration that's the first of its kind in Lancaster.
It's called Lancaster's Citywide Unity Prayer Rally and is sponsored by the Lancaster Division of My Hope with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
The goal is to unite the county in spiritual purpose.
Week Ahead

County council to meet
The Lancaster County Council meeting is 6:30 p.m. June 27 in County Council Chambers in the Lancaster County Administration Building, 101 N. Main St.
Development review committee to meet
The Lancaster County Development Review Committee meeting is 9 a.m. June 28 on the second floor of the Lancaster County Historic Courthouse, 100 N. Main St.
Public comment on sheriff's office sought
I just want to let Dianne Evans, who serves on the Lancaster County Library Board, know that I believe rules need to be applied and followed. (Evans wrote the column, "Some think rules don't apply to them," in last week's Gateway.)
What many residents don't realize is that all the county boards and commissions are different and, therefore, their rules need to be written accordingly.

Man receives no jail or prison in child porn case
July 28, 2011
Elkhorn — A 45-year-old former Williams Bay man who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography won't have to serve time in a state prison or the Walworth County Jail. However, Ronald Oehm, now of Whitewater, will have to register as a sex offender for the next 15 years and serve five years of probation. On July 28, Judge Robert Kennedy spared Oehm from jail after he claimed he didn't intentionally seek out child pornography and, according to evidence on his computer, likely rarely viewed the illegal, illicit images.

Ackley helps Afghanistan woman who was shot by insurgents
July 28, 2011
Khowst Province, Afghanistan — If it wasn't for the fast thinking of an army medic and a 2001 Big Foot High School graduate, an Afghanistan woman who was caught in the middle of a fire fight between insurgents and U.S. forces might be dead. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Chris Ackley, a Sharon native, helped provide medical care on July 6 to the 36-year-old Afghanistan woman who suffered from a gunshot wound to her chest. "I feel like I was doing my job, and if it were to happen again, I would not change a thing," Ackley wrote in a July 21 e-mail. "I'm thankful for everyone who took time to show their appreciation, but I was just doing my job."

Terrorist Organization Profile:
|IJU, Islamic Jihad Union
|April 11, 2004
|Unknown number of members
|Nationalist/Separatist, Religious
|The Islamic Jihad Group (IJG) is a violent terrorist organization responsible for several high-profile bombings in Uzbekistan. Islamic Jihad Group is a splinter organization from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), another terror group operating in Central Asia.
"A group of young Muslims executed martyrdom operations that put fear in the apostate government and its infidel allies, the Americans and Jews. The mujahidin belonging to Islamic Jihad Group attacked both the American and Israeli embassies as well as the court building where the trials of a large number of the brothers from the Group had begun. These martyrdom operations that the group is executing will not stop, God willing. It is for the purpose of repelling the injustice of the apostate government and supporting the jihad of our Muslim brothers in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, the Hijaz, and in other Muslim countries ruled by infidels and apostates."
|On May 25, 2005, the US State Department designated Islamic Jihad Group as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Group. The United Nations shortly followed suit. Although IJG has not claimed responsibility for any attacks since 2004, it is highly likely that the group will continue attacks in the near future.

When beauty steps onto a red carpet the general saying is "Whatever Works!"
When that beauty is Evan Rachel Wood – arriving on cue for her debuting film – you better damn sure utilize that phrase and work whatever you need out to make the moment come to pass!
Proclaim your love for dress, new hair color, stilettos, the beauty that was, is and will be combined – you get the picture! (Don't you judge me… I meant every word!)
And so went the official Tribeca Film Festival kick off with Woody Allen's film at the Ziegfeld Theater, last night.
Seriously, girl shined in her ballerina inspired basic black number!

Oracle VM Blog: Xen Virtualization with Oracle: Commitment, Integration, Mission-critical Virtualization
By Honglin Su-Oracle on Jul 11, 2009
The Xen Directions 2009 event was recently held in Berlin, Germany. Christian Rothe from Oracle presented the topic of Xen Virtualization with Oracle: Commitment, Integration, Mission-critical Virtualization at the event. I'd like to summarize the key points in this presentation.
Oracle is committed to Linux and has contributed significantly to the open-source communities to help make Linux better. Oracle's Linux commitment began in 1998 with the first commercial database on Linux. Not only does Oracle run the whole business on Linux, but also run the base development on Linux for all our products. Today Oracle has over 9,000 developers working on Linux and provides Global Linux Support in over 100 countries. Oracle provides comprehensive indemnification for intellectual property claims raised against our customers, available to all Oracle-supported customers so that customers can deploy Linux with confidence. Moreover, Oracle has made significant technology contributions to the Linux as well as Xen community. You can see community contributions from Oracle at oss.oracle.com. There's nice blog The Real Story on Oracle Unbreakable Linux.
Oracle provides customers an integrated software stack, top to bottom, from applications to Oracle Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM. With Oracle VM Templates, you can simply download and import pre-configured virtual machines containing pre-installed Oracle enterprise applications or other software to get up and running in hours not weeks. We also provide a pre-packaged, small foot-print Oracle Enterprise Linux image for x86 and x86-64, along with a script to customize the image. This minimal install of Oracle Enterprise Linux is also known as JeOS (Just Enough OS). It's the same Oracle Enterprise Linux that is freely re-distributable and backed by enterprise-class support, but has been secured and minimized to facilitate Oracle VM Templates creation - for any software (Oracle or non-Oracle) you want to deploy. Furthermore the entire stack can be managed by a single console Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
Oracle VM is about mission-critical deployment. The software certification is based on real-world testing – supported for use with the most sophisticated enterprise workloads under real-world conditions and backed by world-class support organization to cover the entire software stack. Oracle VM has proven production deployments across multiple industries. See Customers Succeed with Oracle VM.
