WATCH: Amanda Seyfried Brings Life To Porn In "Lovelace" Trailer
Though shooting wrapped, like 800 years ago, the trailer for Lovelace has been suspiciously absent — especially since the movie is set to hit theaters next month. Finally, however, it has appeared, and it has all the makings of an indie, possibly Oscar-winning, hit: A load of A-list stars, an entire Liberace-esque closet full of amazing '70s fashion, and Amanda Seyfried's gorgeous locks traded in for a mega-perm. It's clear that producers know Seyfried is the star of this one, allowing the Mean Girls/Les Mis good girl to swap her angelic singing voice for the raunchy story behind Deep Throat, porn's most infamous film.
Seyfried is playing Linda Lovelace, the star of Deep Throat, who initially said that the filming was "liberating" but later alleged she was forced to do the movie with "a gun to her head." Alongside Seyfried's wide-eyed depiction is Peter Sarsgaard as her abusive ex-husband, Chloë Sevigny as the thoughtful journalist (a serious trope for all biopics), and, of course, James Franco as Hugh Hefner. Just call him "Hef," he explains. Well, no indie movie is complete without the Franco, after all.

I got the pop-up ad on the net saying I won a free all-paid vacation, and it had a DirectTV logo on it. I was already thinking about DirectTV anyway...so I called. They give you the whole tourist trap rap - but never mentioned that it did NOT include airfare. You have to sign up for a year of DirectTV to get the free vacation, and you have to give up your credit card number, your email address (I'm already getting the junk email) and home address for satellite installation, before they will give you THEIR information. No time to check them out - you lose the free vacation if you don't agree over the phone immediately. So I thought DirectTV is credible and wouldn't DARE try to scam people and lose their good reputation. So I fell for it... for a day. I started looking at the website they give you to enter my confirmation numbers. There was no address on the website for this hotel or promotion company. There was no "contact us" link, and the "About Us" link went nowhere. This made me nervous. I did happen to print the purchase letter (contract) off the website, for which you have to find the only one link that works, and the purchase letter doesn't have an address either. You cannot get the website address or access the contract or even see what the prize really is until after they have your credit card numbers. The purchase letter says you can cancel everything within 7 days, but nobody answers the phone or acknowledges your cancellation. When I finally talked to someone after holding 30 minutes, they said someone would call me back, and THEY didn't have an address, either!! THAT told me everything I needed to know! You can't put your cancellation in WRITING and send it to them because you have no address to mail it. I called DirectTV and they said they have absolutely NO affiliation with Summer Bay Resort. The promotion's DirectTV pkg. was $5 more per month MORE than what I can get from DirectTV myself. So I wrote a nasty email to the resort using their "reservations" email on their site, and I sent my written notice of cancellation, and cc'd BBB. Surprisingly I got a call back the next day....after I saw these terrible reviews, to top it all off. The man from the Resort that called me was:
M. "Eddie" Avegno, Marketing Quality Assurance
Summer Bay Resorts
Office - 1.888.742.1100 Ext:7919
Fax - 352.242.2669
He tried to accuse me of slander, and then tried very hard to convince me that the resort was credible, and that he was responsible for making customers happy. I could tell he was very frustrated. He explained that his DirectTV partner, "Direct Activation" couldn't handle the swarm of installation appointments from the pop-up promotion, and lost its license to sell DirectTV because they made installation appointments they couldn't honor. So he said he had to find another installation company. I wonder how long he knew this, cuz they still charged me for the $29.99 to ship me the sattelite equipment. I said - "They probably lost their license due to charging too much for the satellite packages! You cannot buy a franchise (like McDonald's) and charge whatever you want for the burgers!" Needless to say - my refund is taken care of (I told him I had already cancelled thru my credit card company) -- and he never mentioned slander again.
NEVER trust anyone that will not let you check them out first, even when you hear credible names like DirectTV and Disneyworld. And those other reviews that praise the resort - some of them had complete lists of activities using hotel-given titles and list all the wonderful tourist attractions in the state of Florida - sounds a little too professional, like it was written by someone in advertising. The purchase letter says you have to give up a few hours of your vacation to attend their sales seminar (every day you are there) so they can try to sell you time-share properties. If you don't attend, you lose the entire discount and the full price of everything will be charged against your credit card. I guess they figure if they got you once, they can get you again! Those perfect reviews for this resort are probably written by time-share owners that are desperate to get something back on their investment.

2010 Grad Records Te'o Song
Dec 4, 2012, 11:29 AM EDT
Though it came as a surprise to no one, Manti Te'o was officially announced as a Heisman Trophy finalist last night during Sportscenter. The Irish senior linebacker will join quarterbacks Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M) and Collin Klein (Kansas State) at the trophy presentation on Saturday night.
Long before the announcement that Te'o would be heading to New York, Notre Dame released a few videos (like this one and this one) in support of Manti for college football's most prestigious award.
But by far, the most popular of these is the Manti Te'o Music Video, which as of Tuesday morning, had more than 89,000 views and is continuing to sweep the Notre Dame community via Twitter and Facebook. "Te'O," a remake of "Day-O," was recorded by Pat McKillen, a 2010 ND graduate and Barrington, Ill. native. (Download a free mp3 here.)
Some Notre Dame alums might recognize him from the Spirit of Notre Dame CD, a compilation which featured his song "Loyal Sons," inspired by the Notre Dame Victory March.
But McKillen is about much more than remakes and cover songs. He released his debut album Stagefright in May 2011, and a follow-up, The Red Headed Enemy is planned for early 2013.
McKillen has performed at several campus events and venues, both as a student and young alum, including the B1 Block Party, Legends and Relay for Life. The Observer published a nice feature on his musical aspirations in Feb. 2010.
Stagefright is available on iTunes and Spotify, and you can check out more of his original work at patmckillen.com. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys acoustic folk/rock music, or any Domer, for that matter.
For more on how the "Te'O" song came about, make sure to check out yesterday's feature from NBCChicago.com.

Still in his early days in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart the Sun knows what he is up against, with not only the most important weeks of your professional year underway but the busiest as well. While the solar spotlight is now on matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative, there is a need this year to be a lot more vigilant when it comes to a balance between work and play. The key to having it all is believing that you can.
For less than a week all the planets that will visit your home and family sector this year are all here at the same time, providing a rare window of opportunity where for the next six days you have your heart and head in the game, eyes open and head out of the sand. This is allowing you to look at things realistically and honestly, while also aware that as this is just a starting point what you want and how to make it happen. These could be some valuable and even game changing days across the home, family and/or property fronts.
At any time a line up of planets in your communication sector would have been good news for your relationships, but the timing couldn't be better. With the relationship gods holding the doors open to the past for just a few more weeks, this is a chance to get in and give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. With the communication and relationship gods working closely over the coming weeks, these are important times for friendship and relationship building.
Just three days into the Sun's month long visit to your income sector but as the money gods reach a point where they're ready to pull up the gang plank and get things moving, the Moon's return to your career sector brings the intuitive edge needed to tie everything together. It is not just that you're moving into the most potentially lucrative weeks of 2016 but there are some major developments across the work and career fronts over the next three weeks that make it imperative to trust what your professional instincts are telling you.
The timing of the Moon's return to an adventurous part of your chart today couldn't be better, for just three days into your birthday month and new solar year this is a timely reminder that it is all about the journey. Yet there is more to a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure this is likely to trigger than a boost of confidence and anticipation in the early days of a new solar year, awakening something in you just days before the doors are due to open to the past and second chances.
With the month long wind down of your old solar year under way it is more important than ever to find or make time to hear yourself think, with the less time you think you have the more you probably need this. It is said that if you want something done then give it to a busy person, for they don't have time to muck around. What you need is to find a balance between staying on top of your game, while still finding the time for navel gazing that is required at this time of year. It doesn't help that your future is getting impatient, with this annual wind down over before you know it.
The Moon's return to your relationship sector during the Sun's early days in your friendship sector was always going to lend itself to some important days for friendship and relationship building, but this is also a valuable chance to listen to your emotional responses. Just five days before Uranus' retrograde turn in your relationship sector is due to open the doors to the past and second chances and at a time when the communication gods already have old doors open, this is a chance to get in first by giving your emotional responses, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.
Returning to your work sector just three days after the Sun's return to your career sector not only gives you an intuitive edge when you need it most, but sends a clear message that it is now 'game on'. It's not just that an intuitive edge on the work front is an important resource as new career doors open, but at an important point of the year for income and work matters in their own right, this is the glue that holds everything together. With new career doors open, the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped potential on the income front and opening to the past on the work front by the end of the week, dare to believe that anything is possible.
While any work/life balance tensions that the Moon may have fuelled over the last few days will drop off fairly quickly today, there is an urgent need to take heed. Moving into the most important and busiest months of your professional year, with some of the most important career developments in a decade coming together over the next seven weeks, it is more important than ever to work smarter. Today's playful lunar vibes add another layer to this by reminding you how important having the right balance between work and play really is.
The Sun's return to your financial sector three days ago couldn't come soon enough, despite the fact that he returns at the same time every year. This year, with Mercury and Venus moving ahead of the pack you've already got heart and head in the game, a smart head for money to work with and you're well on the way to fuelling your financial confidence, desires and expectations. While the Sun's more sober look on things may bring some unwanted reality checks, you can't turn ideas and desires into reality without at some point getting real.
Just three days after the Sun's return to your relationship sector and into your annual relationship return, the Moon's return to your communication sector is a welcome, though redundant advantage. Redundant in that you've already got two communication gods on the job, but as any good strategist or planner knows, redundancy has to be built into anything you want to succeed at. Right now, in the early days of your annual relationship review, this gives you the means to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice, while leaving you with no excuses to hide behind.
Sometimes it is not the event itself that is significant and more the timing and that is the case when it comes to the Moon's return to your income sector today and the nose for money and Eureka moments this will trigger over the coming days. Arriving three days after the Sun's return to your work sector and just as you move into some game changing weeks across the income, work and career fronts, as well as giving you a nose for money when you need it most, this is the glue that brings everything together.

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite Hero Foundation (IHF) today announced the inaugural Veterans Innovation Summit for Investing & Technology (VISIT) that will educate, engage and inspire organizations and individuals to examine how to accelerate the rehabilitation and recovery of U.S. military veterans through emerging technology and medical advances. Set to take place Sept. 15-16, VISIT will provide a forum for leaders from various industry sectors to share best practices and ideas for cooperative efforts aimed at improving the mental and physical recovery for returning military veterans.
"VISIT is an exciting endeavor for Infinite Hero Foundation as it will help further propel innovation, accessibility and collaboration among organizations combating the most critical issues facing the returning military community," said Colin Baden, Oakley CEO and Infinite Hero Foundation board president. "We are honored by the caliber of panelists and attendees at the forefront of innovation who have committed to joining this momentous gathering of minds and hope their involvement will spark a much-needed dialogue about how to best serve our veterans with cutting-edge technology and progressive thinking."
Hosted by lnfinite Hero Foundation, the two-day summit will be held at Oakley's global headquarters in Foothill Ranch, Calif. and feature engaging presentations and discussions that address mental and physical recovery for veterans following combat. In addition to tackling challenging issues such as war trauma to the mind and body, carefully curated presentations on topics such as the civilian-military disconnect will facilitate productive discussions with a shared goal to foster resilience and well-being among heroic veterans and unwavering support from American citizens and corporations.
The summit will feature thought-leading presentations on topics including:
Cutting-Edge Counseling Programs
Supporting the personal, social and academic needs of military-connected children affected by war-related impacts and injuries is vital to helping military families transition and cope with everything from multiple deployments, high suicide rates to civilian-life transition. Dr. Anthony Hassan, clinical associate professor and director, USC Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families and Patricia Driscoll, CEO, Frontline Defense Systems, LLC and president and executive director, Armed Forces Foundation, will lead a lively discussion around what is needed to foster resiliency and the continuum of care for the future. Dr. Hassan will also introduce some cutting edge artificial intelligence models being used to train the next generation of military social workers.
Bionic Bodies: The Future of Human Mobility
A new generation of bionics is restoring touch and natural movement to those who have lost a limb, transforming the lives of thousands of injured veterans. Attendees will hear about the future of human mobility from a panel of engineers, scientists and doctors at the forefront of tomorrow's techniques.
Moneyball Philanthropy
Helping veterans return home, heal and rebuild their lives takes more than good intentions: It's all in the numbers. New philanthropic models offer scalable solutions for measurement and accountability in philanthropic investment, but what constitutes the best approaches? Panelists explore how deploying capital in business and philanthropy must follow similar rules – and how both can create lasting social impact.
Healing the Warrior Brain
The brain is the coordination center of sensation, nervous and intellectual activity that drives our reality. Extreme emotional trauma, a severe physical blow to the head and actions in battle that contradict personal moral beliefs often result in disorders and injuries that haunt veterans long after they return from war zones. Experts in brain imaging will outline the cause and effect of post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and moral injury, setting the stage for a discussion about the technologies and treatments being developed to evaluate and rehabilitate sufferers.
Resiliency, Recovery and Renewal
In recovery from injury and trauma, the human mind can play a key role in renewing the body's energy—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Dr. Jim Loehr, who has researched and developed a science-based model for the Holistic Energy System for three decades, will apply his findings to veterans and the military, providing practical, performance-based guidance to strengthen physical, mental and emotional resilience.
For a complete look at VISIT's 2014 agenda and to apply to attend, please visit www.infinitehero.org/events and click on VISIT (password: "VISIT"). Please note that space is limited; qualified applicants will be notified of their accepted registration.
Infinite Hero Foundation depends on the public support of individuals that are equally committed to combating the issues facing our military heroes and their families. Supporters can make a donation at www.infinitehero.org or follow Infinite Hero on Facebook.
About Infinite Hero Foundation
A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Infinite Hero Foundation combats the most difficult front line issues – mental and physical – facing returning military heroes and their families. The Foundation funds programs that drive innovation and the accessibility of effective treatments for military heroes and their families dealing with service-related mental and physical injuries.

I started some zinnias from seed over the winter and was so proud when they came up! They are now about 3 feet tall and thriving in my flower border ( I think). This is the first time I have tried them so I wasn't sure what to expect. A few nights ago, I noticed about half of the petals were missing from a lot of the blooms. By morning, the remaining petals were gone and there is now nothing left but the center. Is this normal for zinnias, or is something wrong?
Zinnia question
Ladybeetle zone 7, TX Jun 25, 2008
If the petals went through a color change and the center of the zinnia changed shape...I imagine this would be normal. The next phase would be the seeds starting to ripen or whatever they call it.
dp72 Woodway, TX(Zone 8a) Jun 25, 2008
Assuming that your plants are not diseased, if you will cut off the spent blossoms ('deadhead' them) that will encourage new flowers. The job of the zinnia is to make seed and die. Your job is to make it keep flowering in an attempt to produce seed.

SYDNEY Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said on Friday objects spotted on satellite images that sparked an international hunt in the remote southern Indian Ocean for Malaysia Airlines MASM.KL Flight MH370 may have sunk.
The satellite images were taken on March 16.
"Something that was floating on the sea that long ago may no longer be floating," he told reporters in Perth. "It may have slipped to the bottom."
Truss said the search continued in treacherous seas in an area some 2,500 km (1,500 miles) southwest of Perth, and Australian, New Zealand and U.S. aircraft would be joined by Chinese and Japanese planes over the weekend.

Title: Browning of leaf tops on Iris plants
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My Iris plants bloomed beautifully, now some of the leaves are turning brown from the top down, about half way. Is this normal? What can I do about it and should I cut off the brown leaves? Also, what causes this?
Irises are very tough and, unless you have borers in the rhizomes, it is okay for them to have some brown leaf tips. We always liked to trim them off below the browning with a sharp scissors or pruner, and at a diagonal. No particular reason, it just seemed more attractive that way. You need to leave as much healthy leaf as you can, as the leaves are the manufacturing facilities building up the root systems of the iris and preparing the rhizomes to expand and give you more blooms next year. In the Fall, you can trim off all the leaves the same way, in a fan, about 4 to 5 inches above the root system. Clean out any dead litter around the rhizomes to help prevent disease or mold. See this page of Images of iris care. Some of the images can be clicked on for more information.

Catholic Financial Life had a very successful brat fry at the Festival Foods De Pere location this past Friday, July 22nd. Proceeds from the brat fry benefited our local St. Vincent de Paul Society.
And, there's more: We spoke with Joe Giganti, an Advisor with Catholic Financial Life, and he filled us in on what he calls "a great moment."
"At one point, a police officer approached our service window to order a brat. There was another gentleman approaching at the same time, and we assumed they were together. Actually, they were not; they didn't even know each other. Anyway, when the police officer finished placing his order, the other gentleman steps up, and pays for the officer's lunch; telling him it's his way of thanking him for all he does for our community.
To me, this just emphasized what we're all about at Catholic Financial Life. We're dedicated to building our community, and builing up the relationships that strengthen that community. Everything we do is based on serving the greater good.
This gentleman took the time to put his gratitude into action. In doing so, he met the officer - whom he had not known before - and in that one great moment, our community grew stronger."
Joe also reported that, according to Festival Foods, De Pere, the Catholic Financial Life Brat Fry was one of the most successful of the Summer.

Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Clinical Presentation
- Author: Prashant Purohit, MD; Chief Editor: Timothy E Corden, MD more...
Histories at the time of initial presentation offer a little with regards to the diagnosis of ARDS because of diverse etiologies and the heterogeneity of susceptibility. However, the definition of "At risk of PARDS" might help clinician to closely monitor certain population. [2]
Physical Examination
The onset of ARDS can be as rapid as few hours, but it can have a gradual onset with evolution of clinical features over 1 to 5 days. The evolution of clinical signs depends on the type, acuity, and severity of the initial insult. As lungs undergo changes during the first exudative stage of the disease, tachypnea is typically noted as the initial physical finding. Respiratory distress, agitation and hypoxemia could be other initial clinical features at this stage. Crackles may be audible throughout the lung fields, signifying pulmonary edema coinciding with infiltrates on chest radiographs. Concomitant fever may reflect the underlying process causing ARDS (eg, pneumonia, sepsis) or may reflect massive cytokine release. Although these are non-specific features and can be seen with any other respiratory or even systemic illness. Hypoxemia might be evident by high oxygen requirement, higher CPAP or PEEP and elevated alveolar-arterial (A-a) oxygen gradient. A-a gradient can be calculated from the equation as mentioned below for the sea level assuming 100% humidification at the alveolar level. Link the equation.
A-a gradient = PAO2 – PaO2 = {FiO2 (Patm – PH2O) – PaCO2/0.8} – PaO2
= {0.6 (760-46) – 40/0.8} – 85
= {428.4 – 50} – 85
= 293.4
This is for the patient that was discussed earlier for other calculations, who was on mechanical ventilation with FiO2 0.6, PaO2 of 85, SPO2 of 98% and PCO2 of 40 mm Hg.
Reduction in lung compliance and functional residual capacity is noticed with the development of pulmonary edema. Hypoxemia results from intrapulmonary shunting and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. At this stage, utilization of high PEEP will help in oxygenation by alveolar recruitment. Certain areas of lung still would have maintained normal lung compliance and remain at risk of air leak syndromes from high PEEP. After the initiation of fibro proliferation, lung compliance is further reduced. Benefit of PEEP on oxygenation is less remarkable at this stage. In fact, difficulty in achieving adequate ventilation might be experienced at this stage with resultant hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis. The requirement of mechanical ventilation might be as long as few weeks with overall clinical recovery in months. Pediatric patients have exhibited reduced lung function, broncho reactivity, muscle wasting and weakness for a prolonged period of time after survival from ARDS.[45]
Several complications are associated with ARDS, though many of these are due to the precipitating conditions that lead to ARDS. Acute complications include air-leak syndromes, ventilator-induced lung infection (VILI), and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), although definitive evidence linking this syndrome to ARDS or ventilator use remains controversial.
Numerous pulmonary complications may result from ARDS. The most common are the air-leak syndromes, particularly pneumothorax but also pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, pneumoperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema. Features of a pneumothorax include decreased air entry on the side of the air leak, an increased percussion note on the same side, and tracheal deviation away from the affected side in a tension pneumothorax. Heart sounds may be muffled, and signs of decreased cardiac output may be observed with a tension pneumothorax. Clinicians must also maintain a high index of suspicion for tension pneumothoraces as a cause for acute onset of decreased cardiac output.
VILI is an entity receiving attention with the publication of landmark trials suggesting that a "kinder, gentler" form of mechanical ventilation improves outcomes in ARDS. VILI most likely has several causes, including excessive lung stretching due to high tidal volumes, repetitive opening and closing of alveoli leading to shear stress, oxygen toxicity, and cytokine release.
ARDS patients may also be compromised from a cardiovascular standpoint. Patients with sepsis, trauma, or other multisystem insults may lose their ability to tolerate higher airway pressures often required to maintain adequate oxygenation. Higher airway pressures lead to a higher net intrathoracic pressure, which results in decreased preload and cardiac output. Moreover, hypoxia, hypercarbia, and acidosis may elevate pulmonary artery pressures, increasing right ventricular afterload and leading to increased right ventricular work. Right ventricular dilatation can develop and then result in leftward movement of the intraventricular septum and cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Gastrointestinal complications commonly observed in the critically ill population include stress ulcers, liver failure, pancreatitis, and pancreatic insufficiency, leading to glucose intolerance.
Renal failure may result from the primary illness or may occur secondarily as a result of poor cardiac output, acute tubular necrosis, and MODS.
Secondary or nosocomial pneumonia is not uncommon in critically ill children. In addition to Staphylococcus aureus, other organisms more typically isolated include Pseudomonas species, Acinetobacter baumannii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli, and Candida species. Bacteremia from indwelling vascular catheters and skin ulcerations may also occur. Risk of urinary tract infection increases with prolonged indwelling Foley catheters.
Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM) is seen in a subset of patients of unclear etiology. Many factors have been identified to have an increased association with CIPNM, such as sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, MODS, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Use of muscle relaxants, especially in conjunction with steroids, appears to have a particularly high association with CIPNM. Initial reports describe CIPNM with concomitant use of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants and corticosteroids. However, case reports of weakness with cisatracurium and corticosteroids have also been described. Clinically, patients develop profound or flaccid weakness that is often prolonged. This may complicate the mechanical ventilator weaning process and may also require inpatient rehabilitation care upon discharge from the hospital.[46, 47]

Theve hiddon our pie
said bob
the usual score
(10/10 5/5)
THe beginning was funny with Weeble and Bob singing a parody to that one Jennifer Lopez song and i couldn't stop laughing at that dancing cooked chicken then when he ran away with the pie,a great episode of Weeble and Bob.
Pretty good
I like the beginning when he was singing, but then it got kinda boring.
My goodness
Such delicious memories from my teenage years.

Glenn Beck Attacks Trump Supporters With The Worst Insult Imaginable: They're As Bad As Obama Supporters
After campaigning for Ted Cruz in Nevada earlier this week, Glenn Beck warned that the Donald Trump campaign is "grooming Brownshirts," likening Trump's supporters to the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.
It turns out that calling Trump supporters "Brownshirts" is not even the most insulting comparison Beck could come up with because, on his television program last night, he took things even further when he compared them to the worst people imaginable: Obama supporters!
After revealing that he is getting word that "stations want to cancel the show because they believe that Donald Trump is going to be the next president," Beck vowed that he was not going to stop attacking Trump because the GOP presidential front runner is simply too dangerous, something he learned when he encountered Trump supporters at the Nevada caucuses.
"The Trump supporters, they're Brownshirts," Beck said. "I've never witnessed anything like I saw today, it was just, it was grotesque and sad that Americans ... It's like these people are treating people like Obama supporters treated us, just the worst of the worst Obama supporters. It was like walking into Ferguson or walking into Baltimore. There's no reason, there's no common decency, there's nothing. It's just bizarre."
