Water Extremes: Too Little; Too Much; Too Slow; Too Fast | KCET
Water Extremes: Too Little; Too Much; Too Slow; Too Fast
High & Dry surveys the legacy of human enterprise in the California desert. Together, writer/historian Christopher Langley and photographer Osceola Refetoff document human activity, past and present, in the context of future development.
The marks of water, and its absence shape the story of human presence in the desert. I have lived in the desert for more than forty years, having been converted to desiccation.
In the desert I suffer from "rain hunger" nearly all the time. When a moisture-laden front makes it over the mountains, it is a gift from the gods, a time for a celebratory walk through puddles. In the Iranian desert, the Sarhad, where my Peace Corps site of Khash is located, it rained once in two years while I was there. It was not much but all the children had umbrellas, which immediately appeared for the short downpour.
The desert suffers from extremes: too little; too much; too slow; too fast. In my hometown of Lone Pine, the summer forecast is hot day after day. The rainiest month is in the winter, often February. However the most exciting rains come in August, or sometimes July, when the monsoonal flows out of Mexico sweep across the dry valleys, filling the air with moisture. We wait for the giant thunderheads, glowing and pulsing with electricity like great translucent jellyfish in the ancient seas that once covered these lands. They pulse and glow over the Inyo Mountains to the east towards Death Valley and the high desert beyond.
The towering cumulonimbus move in, first with the cold winds that sweep down in front of the storm, then with intensifying thunder and finally a downpour that comes in sheets of driving rain. All hell breaks loose in a release from the persistent waiting for the rains that have taken several summer months to arrive.
The thunder shakes everything in front of it. The rain pounds like a stampede of racing feet ever harder and faster. I rush out to see the storm, feel the icy rain on my face. Quickly I am soaked to the skin. Later I stand mesmerized at the front window as the storm obscures the landscape to the east in veils of rain.
Slowly the storm abates. The land falls into a satiated peace. Now the land smells sweet and perfumed, by the wet sage and the more bitter rabbit brush, and invasive Russian thistle. The air has cooled significantly, and there will be a good night's sleep.
Two storms from the past come to mind. First there was the microburst that came on a July afternoon. It had been sultry all day, pregnant with promise, yet still as death. The sky darkened and the heavens let loose an explosion of water for half an hour. Three inches of rain, more than half a year's worth, fell in that thirty minutes. The paved areas gave up the rush. Patios regurgitated water though sliding doors into living rooms. Desert highways flooded with brown water. Large arroyos were cut across the desert as water flowed downhill picking through the hillocks. Those marks are still there. The highway gagged and choked, and silt and boulders were left behind. These are called "debris flows."
What was startling was that if you went a mile north or south of town, it was more like half an inch of rain. Go further and it was dry.
The desert here suffers from flash brush fires that sweep across the land burning the resin ripe desert plants with brilliant heat. Just after the 4th of July, the Inyo County seat of Independence suffered from one of these fires. Driven by the winds, desultory in their direction, what appeared a controlled fire suddenly raced drunkenly across the landscape. The result was a barren land burned to black ash, hidden roots, and unanchored sandy soil. Add a summer downpour high in the Sierra and it is a recipe for disaster.
A year later, almost to the day, a microburst of clouds shedding tropical water became trapped in a canyon of the Sierra just west of town. A giant wall of water, dirt and boulders rushed down Ask Creek where there were many cabins and houses. Fifteen houses disappeared or were filled with silt waist high. No one drowned although one resident was rolled a while in the cavorting water. The scars remain still from the flash flood that swept across the highway.
Matching the rain that vents its anger against the desert landscape is the rain that doesn't fall to earth. This is virga. It is rain falling in sheets or lines that evaporate before hitting the surface of the earth. Above the virga there is a dark bellied cumulus cloud. Rolling thunder and a flash of lightning announces the forming of virga, but it also comes without a grand entrance.
Virga has a cold heart, often beginning at high altitudes as ice crystals. The falling to earth begins slowly as these crystals slide into thickening air. Compression heating of the air first melts the ice crystals then evaporates them into vapor.
Desert water has many secrets. Most people who die in the desert suffer and die of dehydration. That is the harsh story of the desert water, and its absence. Mary Austin wrote, "To underestimate one's thirst, to pass a given landmark to the right or left, to find a dry spring where one looked for running water - there is no help for any of these things."
We'll tell that tale another day.

in my memories,
all my happiness, and all my sorrows,
all my triumphs, and all my woes,
I always return to the two years spent out east
going to a tiny Liberal Arts University.
Every time I go to write
about those years that changed me
and shaped me
for the rest of my life,
every time I start off with a poem, and end
an apology.
I am sorry.
I am sorry to my parents,
who tried to keep me home.
Born on a small island floating off the west coast,
I longed to adventure to shores unknown,
to spread my wings and migrate to different lands.
I felt held back, repressed,
with a dream,
a dream to write poetry.
My parents didn't share this dream.
They saw it as a waste, a waste of my intellectual brain
why couldn't I study science
at the campus two hours away?
"You'll never make a living off limericks,"
they'd say.
But I
would not take no for an answer,
and fought them until I found myself
on a plane,
with two overweight bags,
and absolutely no idea
what I was about to experience.
First, the booze.
The never ending supply of liquor
reeking with the stench of nail polish remover,
I refused, and refused, and then,
got drunk.
I loved the way it numbed my lips and tongue,
I loved how it made me brave,
brave enough to tell the red head I'd been staring at
"I think you're really beautiful"
without having to regret it the next day.
No one listens to a drunk, anyways.
Second, the boys.
They came knocking on my door,
some with faces soft as peaches,
others, sharp as barbed wire.
I refused, and refused, and then,
used them,
for every dollar, drink, cigarette, and sex,
they could provide
still unable to hide
my loneliness.
Third, the smoke.
Nicotine clouds plumed into weed,
a simple head rush became a need
to get high, to let go, to be free,
when all I really wanted to do
was write poetry,
I found myself slipping,
sleeping through lectures about Chaucer and Beowulf,
I was a slave to my habits,
and sold my soul to pay my impossible debt
of want.
After two years,
the only things I had gained
were a slew of addictions
and 50 pounds weight.
I flunked out, flat broke,
moved back home,
at which point my parents told me
they would no longer pay,
and, just like that,
my dream
was over.
But, all I wanted to do
was write poetry,
and now, I'm a cashier at Home Depot.
And it's hard to look back and say
"lesson learned"
when the lesson still burns.
So I write this apology, if to no one else,
then, to myself,
for trading my loves and needs
for wants and desires.
Dear me,
I'm sorry.

Cuban Perez fitting in with Hillcats
By Chris Lang
Full article:Sunday, Perez showed the sort of hustle that piqued the Reds' interest. Perez doubled in his first two at-bats, and both times he ran hard to stretch singles into extra-base hits. He stole a base and drove in a run. Plugged into the No. 3 spot in Lynchburg's lineup, Perez immediately produced.
"I like to play aggressive and attack," Perez said through Soto. "I want the fans to feel good watching the game."
Perez played well in the DSL, hitting .429 in 16 games with a home run and 14 RBIs. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Perez has a solid blend of speed and gap power. And the Hillcats have been playing with just two true outfielders for some time, so his defensive skills in center field are a major plus.
"He seems to get good jumps and read the ball of the bat very well," Hillcats manager Pat Kelly said. "He runs a little bit better than you think because he kind of glides. (The Reds) were pleased with the way he played defensively.

Think Twice
I felt their presence before I heard them. I was sure there was someone coming up behind me. My right hip feeling as though it was on fire with acid hot pain I knew my gait was particularly poor but could only concentrate on keeping going.
The first time I looked over my shoulder I couldn't see anyone. I assumed my instincts were playing tricks on me and went back to concentrating on moving. Thinking about the chocolate reward at the end of it all.
So when I saw the two lads, faces obscured by their hoods I felt a moment of fear. I'd ignored my instincts that there had been someone there and my body was announcing how stupid that was with a rush of adrenaline.
Still unable to hear I fumbled with clumsy hands to pull out my headphones. The boys wearing hoods had passed me and were now turning round to face me. My heart plummeted.
Then, ever so politely a voice came from the closer of the hood wearing teenagers. And asked me if I was alright.

Nice story. Had me going there, for a moment. I mean, if someone hurt you, I'd have to get back on a plane and go over there and kick some ass. And frankly, that's a long plane ride. I'd be cranky by the time I got there. Then I'd REALLY have to hurt somebody. And, given that I am a newly-christened pacifist, that begins to go counter to my (new) nature. So, all in all, I'm so glad things turned out well.

The Iron-blue Vault
€ 11,99

September 1999
BeschreibungAttila Jozsef's extraordinary poetry is exhilarating in its power and transcends the scars of a difficult life. He is a genuinely revolutionary poet, neither simple-minded nor difficult, though his thought and imagery are complex. A deeply divided man, his poetry has a robust physicality as well as a jaunty and heroic intelligence-which is Marxist in its dedication but fueled in its audacity by both Freud and Surrealism. This new collection of his poetry includes two lengthy essays by the translators on his life and his art of poetry.

GENEVA (AP) The European Organization for Nuclear Research says its new particle collider has been damaged worse than previously thought and will be out of commission for at least two months.
On Thursday, the organization said the collider -- the world's largest -- malfunctioned within hours of its launch to great fanfare, but its operator didn't report the problem for a week.
Spokesman James Gillies says experts have gone into the Large Hadron Collider to examine the damage.
Gillies said Saturday the part that was damaged will have to be warmed up well above absolute zero so that repairs can be made. He said that will require having to shut off the new particle collider do to the repairs.

Well, if getting squashed into the ground wasn't enough this last week. Democrats on Wednesday plan to shoot themselves in the other foot.
"DEMOCRATS plan to offer a resolution in the US Senate on Wednesday seeking a timetable for a phased withdrawal from Iraq, California senator Dianne Feinstein said today.
Recent polls show a slight majority of Americans favour such a course but White House spokesman Tony Snow said President George W. Bush would not consider it.
Setting a timetable "would be an absolute, unmitigated disaster, not merely for the people of Iraq, but the larger war on terror", he said on CNN's Late Edition program.
The House of Representatives last week approved a nonbinding resolution which rejected a deadline for US troops to leave Iraq and called the conflict there part of the broader war on terrorism.
"Three years and three months and a bogging down, I think, suggests that the time has come for some discussion on where we go from here," said Senator Feinstein, who was also interviewed on CNN.
"I don't know why we are so afraid to stand up and say, 'look, we want to see an end to this thing'," she said."
"Cut and Run".....any questions?
I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day present than to have the Democrats continue to self destruct.

The Machinery Behind Google's Eco-friendly Data Centers
Google is an inspiration for data center builders and managers, especially those who are green-minded, so it's worth taking a lot at just how much machine learning is behind the latest developments. In 2014, Google announced that machine learning was the go-to strategy for upping data center efficiencies, and now Google is sharing even more as the strategy is being put into use. One year ago, Google was quiet about the fact that power usage effectiveness (PUE) had come to a standstill. However, one of the company's engineers took it upon himself to focus on efficiency boosts as a side project. Those efforts have snowballed into machine learning backing PUE bolstering to a degree never seen before.
The Vice President of Datacenter Operations, Joe Kava, told The Platform during a Googleplex tour that the company's engineers—as they often do—solved a big problem. Already, other data centers are copying the solution thanks to a piece of research recently published on the details. Many cloud creators were taught that measuring everything and using that data to drive outcomes was the only approach. It was used for selling goods, upping efficiency, and tackling new challenges. Google sticks to measuring everything possible, especially at data centers, but that doesn't make this approach easy. Pinpointing data then actually mining it for better PUE is no easy task. This is especially tricky since, technically, PUE has no limits.
Breaking the Plateau
A plateau doesn't necessarily mean poor performance, kind of like weight loss. You can be at your goal weight and have professional athlete-level muscle mass and body fat, but what about getting even better? Kava explains that even though Google's numbers are "awesome already, it had been flat for several quarters. So I put a challenge to the team and asked them what they could do about it. This gets back to that mentality that you continue to measure, implement, improve and remeasure." The engineer who came up with the answer is Jim Gao, who thought of using machine learning to go through billions of Google's data regarding data centers.
Gao looked at pump speeds, the outside elements/weather, cooling tower fan speeds and more. Of course, it's nearly impossible for a human to be able to analyze all of this information. Instead he came up with a machine learning model that required just four inputs to do all the legwork for him. Kava says, "We call him Boy Genius for a reason, and he went off and taught himself how to program and create machine learning algorithms, and trained the algorithm with billions of data points. We found that there are roughly 19 variables that are really important in the operating of the data center that would help to minimize PUE." Nineteen variables is phenomenal, and impossible without machine learning. Kava says, "I don't know about you, but I can't visualize a 19 variable matrix. That is why it is so hard to look at the data and know that it is clear that you have to do this or that to get a better PUE. But it's actually pretty trivial for a machine to run those millions of combinations and permutations."
Started from the Bottom…
Once Gao had created the machine learning model along with the 19 variables, Google crosschecked PUEs in datacenters then used the model to see how accurate it was. A little fine tuning was necessary to achieve 99.6 accuracy, but ultimately Gao's model was a huge success. It was found that in certain situations, a key subset must be used within the variables. That can be a challenge, but at the same time it was discovered that only a machine can achieve this analysis with accuracy—which is key for researchers to keep in mind for their own job security down the road.
Now, Gao's model has become a full-fledged tool used by Google data center managers around the world. It's been deployed at five sites since 2015, which has led to 15 percent better PUE overall (and up to 25 percent at one location). Gao's full research is now available online, and a number of data centers have used that treasure to achieve similar results. While Google is anti-open source algorithms of course, in order to keep that competitive edge, it's also an invaluable tool when golden nuggets are carefully revealed. Simply knowing there's no limit has helped others in the IT world get motivated, and who knows what improvements can be made from Gao's accomplishment?

Talk:potter's fields
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Wouldn't this be potters' fields ? -- 126.96.36.199 16:07, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- If it literally meant fields owned by potters- sure. In the usage we're talking about, though, it's an idiom that has nothing to do with who owns the place. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Rating the Packers vs. Lions
Win about more than defensive TD
Green Bay - The Detroit Lions stormed into Lambeau Field on Sunday night as if they owned the joint.
Despite their disappointing record, the Lions remained a cohesive force motivated by revenge and lacking just three of their preferred starters.
On the other hand, the Green Bay Packers were down eight starters as they attempted to get back on their feet after the Lions broke to a 14-0 lead.
Some might say it took a lucky play - Matthew Stafford's wacky fumble that was returned by Mike Daniels 43 yards for a second-quarter touchdown - to save the Packers.
It took more than just that. Green Bay absorbed the Lions' knockout punch and then asserted themselves on both lines in the second half.
Here is a rating of the Packers in their 27-20 victory, with their 1 to 5 football totals in parentheses:
Minus Jordy Nelson (hamstring), the roles were clearcut. Greg Jennings (46 of a possible 53 snaps) and James Jones (49) generally were outside, and Randall Cobb (41) played inside. Jarrett Boykin (five) and Donald Driver (three) also played, including two snaps each when Mike McCarthy played a five-WR set for the first time all season. The longest reception (38 yards) was made by Cobb in an all too familiar situation. When Aaron Rodgers breaks through the line, he invariably looks for Cobb because the results have been remarkable. Cobb just has a knack for breaking off routes and finding the softest spot among defenders. He broke a tackle by SLB Justin Durant 16 yards downfield and weaved his way for 22 more to set up the clinching field goal. The Lions refused to get beat by Jennings or Jones to the deep outside, sticking to their two-safety shell for 60 minutes. On a 27-yard zone-beater to Jennings, it took a great throw by Rodgers to complete. Cobb's 24-yard reception came on a spectacular one-handed grab on a corner route from the slot. Jermichael Finley played 15 of his 26 snaps either in the backfield (six) or in a three-point stance (nine). In the third quarter, he was supposed to lead from the backfield on one of the LBs in front of Alex Green. Finley didn't lay a glove on either one and, after Green was demolished, gestured as he is known to do as if it wasn't his fault. D.J. Williams, who is much lighter than Finley, has made himself into a creditable blocker because he's hungry and tough. Finley doesn't really seem to care about blocking. Tom Crabtree and Williams, each of whom played 13 snaps, blocked DEs three times at the point of attack for runs totaling 35 yards.
Once again, the plan was to have Jeff Saturday help Josh Sitton with Ndamukong Suh and leave Evan Dietrich-Smith one-on-one with Nick Fairley. On Suh's 28 pass rushes, he was blocked man-to-man by Sitton (seven times) and RT Don Barclay (once). He was double-teamed by various combinations of players 16 times, including 11 by Sitton-Saturday, and also ran four stunts. Saturday didn't allow a pressure and Sitton gave up just one. Sitton had one-half of a "bad" run against Suh; otherwise, he kept him away from plays in a savvy display of discipline and technique. On the other hand, Saturday was involved in four of the six "bad" runs: three halves and one full for a total of 2½. He's giving away so much size, strength and athletic ability, and his ability to get off to the second level remains a major problem. To his credit, Saturday handled the wet ball without incident. Probably the best performers were Dietrich-Smith and Marshall Newhouse. Dietrich-Smith failed to get his hands inside and got walked back by Fairley for a sack and a knockdown. But he didn't allow another pressure and joined Barclay as the only starters without a "bad" run. Dietrich-Smith was decisive to the second level, pulled and hit well on the move and finished blocks. Fairley had to leave late in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury suffered when Dietrich-Smith worked to the whistle and ended up on top of his talented adversary. Newhouse blunted everything that Kyle Vanden Bosch tried. He also came off hard in the run game and got some movement. Newhouse finished with 1½ pressures and 1½ "bad" runs. As for Barclay, who made his first start, he was much better blocking for run than the pass. He's persistent and won't back down. Actually, backup Willie Young gave Barclay more problems than Cliff Avril. Young registered three of the 6½ pressures against Barclay. Rookie Greg Van Roten debuted from scrimmage with five snaps, including two from the backfield, two from TE and one from the wing. As far as No. 6 O-linemen go, he wasn't nearly as agile or effective as Dietrich-Smith in Games 6 and 8.
You could chart pass rushes for years and not find a situation comparable to D-coordinator Gunther Cunningham not blitzing even one time in the Packers' two-game total of 66 dropbacks. What plays Rodgers made, he made with his legs. The go-ahead TD was little short of incredible. Both Newhouse and Barclay were bull-rushed into his lap; Newhouse was knocked flat on his back by DE Lawrence Jackson. Somehow, Rodgers scampered out of it, saw coverage floating away from him and took off on a 27-yard TD jaunt. He made several other big plays throwing on the move. Jackson made Rodgers pay earlier with a strip-sack in the red zone by blind-siding him as he was trying to run out. Rodgers made alterations in play selection about 50% of the time in the first half and many more in the second half. He had three or four errant tosses, but the wet ball accounted for some of that. Rodgers glared at Fairley and flipped the ball away after the DT hit him in the neck after a scramble. Later, Fairley smashed him down on his neck after the ball was away. Rodgers' durability remains the key to the Packers' season.
Green, who played merely six snaps in Detroit three weeks earlier, led John Kuhn (20), DuJuan Harris (seven) and Ryan Grant (two) with 32. Green gets to top speed in a hurry, doesn't hesitate to run downhill and is capable of beating the safety. His second effort was impressive. He also didn't get both hands up fast enough on a botched check-down and tripped on the back of Barclay's leg on a shovel pass that he fumbled. Harris, who counted 10 touches among his 48 snaps from scrimmage for Jacksonville in 2011, ripped into FS Don Carey at the end of his opening 11-yard toss. The contact and speed of the play were eye-opening.
Minus Mike Neal (shoulder) and C.J. Wilson (knee), the Packers had just four stalwarts and didn't play a snap of 3-4 for the second time against Detroit. Ryan Pickett (45) was good, not great, against RG Stephen Peterman. B.J. Raji (65) proved very hard to handle for LG Rob Sims, the best of the Lions' three linemen inside. Besides his game-changing TD, Daniels (32) was more effective off the bench than Jerel Worthy (23). Pickett was buckled a time or two and spent more time on the ground than normal. The coaches must take Pickett's health seriously, and if in fact he is wearing down GM Ted Thompson needs to make roster moves designed to relieve the burden and prepare him for the post-season. Raji drew two penalties after having none in the last eight games. He also kept beating Sims with power and athleticism, probably was the team's most effective rusher and kept yanking ball carriers down by the shoulders. The Packers shut off the run game in the second half by effectively slanting their front eight or 10 times. Daniels and Worthy each had a pressure but Daniels was more stout than Worthy, who seems to play small against double teams.
Dezman Moses probably played his finest game at Ford Field when neither Jeff Backus nor rookie Riley Reiff could handle his pass rush. Backus took the rookie to school this time and limited him to one pressure in 70 snaps. On the other side, Erik Walden (71) engaged in a struggle with RT Gosder Cherilus. Judged by the two meetings, they don't like each other. Walden stayed at home on a reverse, usually set a physical edge and had two pressures. Playing in his fourth game, Frank Zombo (27) had problems. On his first play, he waited instead of forcing the issue and destroying QB Matthew Stafford on a reverse, and suffered the embarrassment of being cut off his feet. Then Stafford got Zombo again four plays later on a naked bootleg. If it's a dive play, Zombo can't make the tackle, anyway. He needed to take a step or two up field whether the Lions had shown it on tape on not. Neither A.J. Hawk (53) nor Brad Jones (83) was equipped to excel in a blood-and-guts affair on a slow track. Jones made a few tackles before linemen could get to him but he also played too high at times. Hawk had a few good sticks but wasn't playing downhill hammering people like top ILBs do. Dom Capers blitzed just 20%; of the team's 21 individual blitzes, Jones used his team-high 10 to post two pressures.
Tramon Williams (84 snaps) shadowed Calvin Johnson when he was outside. When Capers brought a safety into the box late leaving Williams one-on-one, he probably fared better than Capers had hoped. Johnson caught five of the nine balls thrown his way with Williams in coverage for 63 yards. His long of the five was merely 19. Williams maintained position, reacted well to Johnson's routes and two or three times used his exceptional vertical jump to break up jump balls/take-off routes. On the other side, Davon House (27) had four terrible plays in the first two series and was replaced by Sam Shields (58). House didn't finish his press coverage on WR Kris Durham (27-yard catch), didn't even try to fight through a pick (Tony Scheffler's 3-yard TD) and missed the tackle at the line on the Lions' longest rush by a RB (13 yards by Joique Bell). The difference between House and Shields was dramatic on two reverses. On a 22-yard gain by Mike Thomas, his man, House was guilty of false steps, dawdled behind the line and never got near the tackle. When the Lions tried it again, Shields saw it immediately, sprinted behind the line and squared up to tackle Thomas for a gain of 3. Shields cut off Durham on a skinny post for an interception and blew chances for two more. Fresh legs or not, he made his case to get his job back. Casey Hayward played all 84 snaps, moved his feet well and was highly in tune with zone coverage. He was passive on five blitzes but at least got people down as a tackler. Safeties Morgan Burnett (84) and M.D. Jennings (73) spent the entire game trying to deceive Stafford on whether one of them was joining the box. Burnett was more physical than Jennings, but neither one short-circuited mentally and they avoided bad plays. Erring on the side of caution, Burnett was a step late attacking a few throws to Johnson.
Mason Crosby overcame snow, slush and wind, hitting from 49 when his team faced a two-TD deficit. He hit a solid ball from 51 but it hooked slightly left, and then he drilled one from 41. With Stefan Logan taking a conservative approach on KO returns, Crosby changed up his six boots and was effective. Tim Masthay (three punts) averaged 44.3 (gross), 37.7 (net) and 4.06 (hang time).
Cobb made good decisions and ran hard. Jamari Lattimore knocked a bunch of Lions down. Rob Francois and Ryan Taylor were physical, too. There were no penalties or missed tackles.

The itenary given to us was completely opposite to what was given earlier. The vouchers were send at the last minute. No proper work was done by the agent. For 7 people a 6 seater car was sent. Nothing was was according to our wishes and demands. Above all, when complaint about the same, the agent replied utter rudely. Our car had to be stopped in the middle of the jungle because the agent hasn't paid the dues to the car company. Very much non-cooperative people… Read Full Review

Hello, I was on a 4N/5D trip to Kerala recently with my hus. Overall the trip was good but there are few things which I think should be mentioned over here. Although I had a 4 night and 5 days package I felt like I have lost 1 day due to bad scheduling of the travel agent. You see my flight from Mumbai to Kochi was scheduled at 10:30 in the morning (23rd March) and the flight from Kochi to Mumbai was scheduled at 9:30am(27h March). So I had to getup at 4:30am to travel from Alleppey to Kochi… Read Full Review
