You Can Put Lipstick on a Bad Writer, but…
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. And you can put a tired catch phrase in the mouth of a great orator, and it's still a tired catch phrase.
Next thing you know, Sen. Barack Obama will be trying to turn chicken spit into chicken salad or lemons into lemonade. 'Cause when the going gets tough...well, you know the rest.
I winced when I heard Obama drag out the lip schtick, not because it was a sexist remark aimed at the rootin' tootin' governor of Alaska, but because it is now a standard debating point of so many politicians, a fact demonstrated by video clips of Senator John McCain and Vice President Dick Cheney using the same gag. Gag indeed.
The line does have a down-to-earth quality about it, probably an effort by the elegant Obama to "get the hay down where the goats can eat it," as we used to say in the South.
But it was George Orwell who advised us never to use an image we are used to seeing in print, or, I would add, a slogan we're used to hearing on the air.
It is not that hard to come up with something original, folks; it's just a matter of transforming the tired image into something surprising and new. So instead of lipstick on a pig, imagine these alternatives:
- You can put a catcher's mask on a ballet dancer, but it's still a ballet dancer.
- You can put a tutu on a sumo wrestler, but it's still a sumo wrestler.
- You can put a nun's habit on a porn star, but it's still a porn star.
- You can put perfume on a skunk, but it's still a skunk.
- You can put a condom on a sperm whale, but it's still a sperm whale.
Hey, I ain't doin' all the work, kids. Now it's your turn. Add your best "you can put" saying to the Comments section of this article. One saying only, please. The winner gets an autographed copy of the book Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer.

10 Merritt Island customers still without power after tractor-trailer brings down lines
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - The power still out in Brevard County for about 10 customers after a tractor-trailer heading south on Courtenay Parkway went on the shoulder of the road and hit power poles.
Several Merritt Island businesses were without power.
Florida Power and Light hoped to have power restored by 7 p.m.
Troopers said the driver didn't know he'd hit lines until he was pulled over.
In the meantime, some of the businesses in the south Courtenay Centre shut down early for the day as a result of the power outage including a
day care and a hair salon.
"It's going to get hot. I had to cancel all my clients. I still have one at 5:30 I have not canceled yet," salon owner Denise McCarty said.
FPL said it's in the process of major repair for a relatively isolated outage.
Crews will need to replace three power poles, two transformers and restring 100 feet of wire to restore power to about 10 customers.
"He had to know, he had to know," McCarty said.
Troopers said the semi-truck driver won't be charged with hit and run, but charged are pending for taking down the lines.
There was also personal property damage sustained.

Just looking at Robyn's catalog and see that she has posted two tiaras,
Crystal and Heavenly. They really sound nice and since tiaras have a
reputation for being special I am thinking that they would be a nice
purchase. Anyone seen either of these and want to give a testimonial?
Bevie, when did you take the photo of Heavenly Tiara on the library and how
did it look at the end of the summer? Wanna tell us where you got it? N.

On Aug. 5, Bobcat Company opened the Bobcat and Doosan Acceleration Center in Bismarck, N.D. The grand opening was attended by North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple, Sen. John Hoeven, Rep.Kevin Cramer and Bismarck Mayor Mike Seminary. They joined Rich Goldsbury, president of Bobcat Company and Doosan, North America, for remarks during the dedication ceremony and open house.
Spanning 35 acres, the Acceleration Center campus features a 195,000-square-foot operational building and a 22-acre outdoor testing area. The building includes 100,000 square feet of lab and a 35,000-square-foot indoor testing arena.
The Acceleration Center will be used for developing and testing Bobcat products. Doosan will also use the center for research and development.
One of the interesting features of the new Acceleration Center is its office, which features a non-traditional environment: no assigned seats. Employees instead have carts where they store their laptops, phones and any other office equipment they need for their jobs. The office is made up of more than enough desk spaces, allowing employees to sit in different places, depending on what they're working on and who they're working with. With only three assigned seats in the whole office, all levels of staff can be seen sitting throughout the office.
Along with the open spaces, the two-floors office also features enclosed focus enclaves for more privacy, different sized meeting rooms and group table spaces for collaboration. With a focus on chance encounters, the office houses a few games, such as shuffleboard, to allow co-workers to interact in a non-work-related environment to spur innovation.
The new Acceleration Center has 175 employees, with 102 of them in the engineering department.
The center's indoor testing arena is overlooked by two viewing areas, allowing customers, dealers and media members to watch the equipment in action.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 5, 1980, New Braunfels, Texas T uesday Taylor Communications Inc. 25 cents August 5,1980 P.O. Box ii t3 Da Ii as I •J £* '• ■» e■ Herald-Zeitunq Vol. 89 - No. 33 16 Pages (LISPS 377 880) New Braunfels. TexasIt adds up to better mathematics scores A plan that improved basic math scores in Austin schools by 15 to 50 percent in a year has been adapted for use by the New Braunfels Independent School District. NBISD trustees heard Bonnie Lietch, a mathematics teacher at New Braunfels High School, report on the plan at a special meeting late Monday. "We're very excited by it. It's a great opportunity for us to do what we've always wanted to do. It not only raised scores in Austin, but changed the classroom decorum as well," she said. The procedure, as outlined by I^eitch, involves testing high school freshman with the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills exam, which was developed a year ago. The TABS test would determine if the student could handle "minimum competencies." Out of ll different categories of basic math skills, he or she would have to pass seven of them. The categories consist of such areas as "working with money, problems of measurement, personal finance, whole numbers, fractions, and so on." The test was not designed to fit a grade level, but to determine if the student had reached "exit level" proficiency in mathematics, Leitch said. If a freshman fails the test, a letter will be sent to parents detailing two alternatives: when the test is taken a second time, as a sophomore, those who fail can enroll in tutorial classes to improve the skills that are lacking, or parents can sign a letter of release stating they understand their child does not meet the minimum requirements. Board President Rudy Renner did not like the "escape clause." "I'm a little uncomfortable with it. If we set a standard it should be for every child in the school," he said. Austin Independent School District added the clause on the advice of its lawyers, twitch explained, but "as it turned out, parents refused to sign the release. The pressure was put back on the student, and the scores went up." Assistant Supt. Oscar Smith suggested the district could try the escape clause for a year, "and if we get a lot of letters, then we could close the door." "I don't think we would have any. We'd certainly discourage a parent from signing," Supt. O.K. Hendricks said. Leitch said the plan was a "convenient .starting point." "They've done all the work tor us. All we have to do is implement it. And since the tests will be given to freshmen, not seniors, it will mean something. The kids will have to live with the results of the tests If they're deficient in some areas, we can work with them," she said. Carter's explanation not Billy case end Schertz may annex more land in ComalDrainage By HENRY KRAUSSE Staff writer Comal County commissioners took a hard look Monday at Sattler Village flooding problems caused in part by a county road. Area homeowners asked the county to condemn part of a strip of land bordering Guadalupe Road, just off River Road near its fourth crossing ofproblem the Guadalupe River. The road crosses a stream carrying water runoff from the Sattler area to the river. Heavy rainfall in May and July 1979 caused two 36-mch concrete culverts to act as a dam, forcing water out of the stream bed, across the road and into the garages and living rooms of two homes built next to the stream. Comm. Orville Heitkamp said county efforts to correct the problem wereaired hampered by a chain-link fence running along the downstream side of the road, covering part of the culvert structure. Earlier efforts by Heitkamp to obtain the cooperation of the owner of the stream, Lloyd Rathburn of Pasadena, in removing the fence were inconclusive, so he joined homeowners See DRAINAGE, Page Id WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter's extraordinary defense of his handling of brother Billy's Libyan connection doesn't close the case that has rocked his presidency and his party in the final days of his race for nomination to a second term The president's own account Monday night to the public and to the Senate subcommittee investigating the affair acknowledged that it is "not definitive or final." Members of the panel indicated they would withhold judgment until their probe is complete. And in the highly charged atmosphere of an election campaign, Carter's opponents could hardly be expected to let the matter rest. But in his 99-page report and the hour-long nationally broadcast news conference that followed, the president insisted that although he may have made some mistakes in getting information about the case out in the open, none of his actions in dealing Schertz City Council is thinking about annexing a 207.9-acre tract in Comal County, and a public hearing on the matter will be held today at 7 p.m. at Schertz City Hall, 1400 Live Oak. The tract extends 750 feet on both sides of IR 35 from Schertz's present city limits at Schwab I-me to the end of the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) a mile to the north If approved, the annexation would extend Schertz's ETJ to where it would abut New Braunfels'. The two cities have already begun preliminary talks about establishing a common ETJ boundary line, Schertz City Manager Jimmy Gilmore said Monday. The Comal County tract is one of three tracts (the other two are in with Billy and the Libyans was illegal or improper. The president said — and excerpts from his personal diary confirm that he tried repeatedly, if unsuccessfully, to dissuade his headstrong brother from making a return trip to Libya last year. "I'm not trying to make excuses," the older brother said. But "anyone who knows Billy knows that no one can push him around." The president defended using Billy to get to the Libyan government in the early days of the Iranian hostage crisis and said the mission was at least partly successful in obtaining the support of the radical Islamic regime for U S. efforts to free the American captives. He conceded, however, that "it may have been bad judgment" to have "enhanced Billy's stature in the minds of the Libyans." In his statement. Carter reiterated "I can state categorically that my Bexar and Guadalupe counties) the council is considering for annexation, Gilmore said. last year, Schertz City Council thought about annexing 1,121.5 acres in Comal and Guadalupe counties: this year, the three tracts total 324.89 acres. Schertz City Council defeated last year's annexation recoiiunendation by a 14 Volt Gilmore said both Schertz arid New Braunfels should be concerned about San Antonio's plan*! Noting San Antonio has a five-mile ETJ (Schertz and New Braunfels have one mile), Gilmore said, "I'd sure hate to see either one of us get engulfed I'm not saying we would, but ifs a possibility." brother Billy has had no influence on my decisions or on any U.S. government policy or action concerning Libya. I can also state that Billy has never asked me to take any step that would affect any of these actions or policies." The president also made these sweeping points: He never tried to influence the Justice Department investigation of Billy Carter. He did not learn until it was made public last month that the Libyan government had paid his brother $220,000. He never received any of Billy Carter's libyan money. Initial reaction to Carter's explanation was cautious. Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., chairman of the special Senate subcommittee, declined comment, but his vice chairman. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., said, "We have heard the president's side of the matter; now we will hear the witnesses and maybe hear the other side." Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., perhaps the president's sharpest critic on the committee, said there still is "a lot to explore." He expressed particular interest in a conversation between Carter and Attorney General Benjamin R. Ctviletti m which Civiletti told the president that Billy Carter would not be prosecuted if he registered as a libyan agent. Inside COMICS............... 14 DEATHS...................16 NATIONAL NEWS........... 2 3 OPINIONS 4 SPORTS.................. 5 6 STATE NEWS 2 3 STOCKS 16 WEATHER...................2 Utilities policy on water receives okay Bob Sohn's interim suggestions on water conservation became New Braunfels Utilities trustees' official interim water policy Monday. The board unanimously adopted the policy, but agreed to review it if the current water situation worsens. The policy, which came in response to a request for stringent water conservation measures from the Natural Resources Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, asks local residents to obey them voluntarily. It includes four measures: 1. No lawn watering from IO a.m. to 5 p.m. 2. Even-odd watering. Under that plan, residents whose addresses end in even numbers can water on even-numbered days of the month and odd numbers on odd-numbered days. 3. Avoidance of overspray. 4. A general awareness of water misuse. Sofui said he had no figures on water pumpage to see if the suggestions had had any effect, but added, "I feel like 90 percent or more of our citizens are observing these rules." "In general, I think the community is responding very well," he said. Meeting to explore problems of water By SANDY JACKSON Staff Writer With water conservation on the minds of more and more concerned citizens, a group is forming in Comal County to investigate the problems ahead. As yet unnamed, the group is holding its "Third Town Meeting on Water" Aug. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Snuthson Valley High School for all residents and landowners who obtain their water by well or system from the Glen Rose or Cow Creek water formations. Two previous meetings held by the group have been attended by state and county officials . The purpose of this meeting is to continue the process of looking into the problems and solutions to the reported limited water supply of Glen Rose and Cow Creek formations in western Comal County. Scheduled speakers are Dick Reeves of the U.S. Geological Survey and Iz?roy Goodson of the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority. Hydrology and geology data show that ground water resources cannot be expected to continue to support the level of growth and development which has taken place in the areas of concern in the recent past. The state cannot control the number of private wells because in Texas, the ground water is owned by the land owner When the area goes through a period of deficient rainfall, the problem intensifies. The group's philosophy is to utilize knowledgeable and disciplined persons from every facet of local, county and federal agencies, committees, commissions and persons from the business sector to deal with aspects of the total picture and to work toward a solution for now and the future. For further information, contact Betty Baker at 438-2218 or Beth Shorty at 438-7819. County requests tubes be closed Commissioners Court Monday approved a New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce request that Hie portholes on the sides of county dam drawdown tubes be covered. District Conservationist Carl Englerth said he would forward a copy of the court's minutes to the state Soil Conservation Service headquarters tor their permission "It shouldn't take too long," he told coiiunissioners. The portholes are located about four feet below the top of the concrete tubes, and serve to keep the volume of water behind four county dams at a 200 acre-feet maximum Die chamber's Natural Resources Committee concluded more water would enter the Edwards underground reservoir if water levels behind the dams were allowed to rise, and recommended closing the portholes as a water conservation measure. The action, lf taken, would mean a difference of 500 acre feet of water, Englerth said The motion, on County Judge Max Woimnack's recoiiunendation, was made by Comm. Harry Carpenter, with Comm. Charles Mund seconding. It passed unanimously. In the field ^ ^ County officials inspect a Sattler drainage cul- are Comms. Charles Mund, Monroe Wetz, vert.

Have You Been Pwned?
It's has simply become a fact of life now that personal information is going to be compromised by hackers. Both private and public entities are routinely having information stolen because they are either unable or unwilling to properly inoculate against these kinds of attacks. So if you can't rely on third parties to safeguard your data, there should at least be a way to know if it has fallen into the hands of hackers. Now there is.
Have I been pwned is a website that keeps track of all the public releases of user data, and allows you to check your email address against the information that's out there. For me, it was immediately helpful - it told me that I had, in fact, been pwned when Gawker's user account system was hacked a few years ago.
Of course, this website is limited to account data that has been posted publicly. Things like last month's Target hack will not show up here, because that information has not popped up on torrent sites or PasteBin like the Gawker hack did. But sites like this could be a template for companies to roll out a similar system in the future.
Another useful feature I could see being built into a site like this would be some kind of pwnage gradation system, which would let you know just how much or what kind of information about you is floating around out there. But still, this a nice start. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go change all my passwords.

The performance of user-facing applications is critical to client platforms. Many of these applications are event-driven and exhibit "bursty" behavior: the application is generally idle but generates bursts of activity in response to human interaction. We study one example of a bursty application, web-browsers, and produce two important insights: (1) Activity bursts contain false parallelism, bringing many cores out of a deep sleep to inefficiently render a single webpage, and (2) these bursts are highly compute driven, and thus scale nearly linearly with frequency. We show average performance gains/energy reductions of 14%/17% respectively on real hardware by statically moving threads from multiple cores to a single core. We then propose dynamic hardware driven thread migration and scheduling enhancements that detect these bursts, leading to further benefits.

Advanced Improv
Denver actor/comedian/poet Matt Zambrano is the free spirit behind 10 x 10: Deviations on a Theme, a new variation on the open-mike concept at the BINDERY | space, 770 22nd Street, home of the Lida Project and other left-of-kilter visiting performance groups. But in the hope of setting it apart from other open-mike events in town, such as the Bug's Freak Train, Zambrano and Lida's Julie Rada determined that this one would be themed and would feature ten performers or teams some invited and some who sign up on a lark for ten minutes each session.
The idea is to let people who've given a lot to us artistically a chance to take a night and run with it, but we want it to happen in a more controlled way, Rada says. The goal is to be as 'cross-genrefied' as possible, with more of a cross-section of artists in the Denver area coming in to hang out, have some beers and share some work. That, she adds, might include poetry, visual art, film or other disciplines.
For a sense of where things might go in the coming months, the inaugural theme was Sex, Drugs and Bossa Nova. The performers can interpret that however they like, notes Rada.

Could this force the Chancellor to bring duty into line with our partners by cutting the rate on EC wines in the Budget? It would put a rosier complexion on shopping at Thresher, unless you are buying New World wines.
The new guide levels for imported drinks, which replaced the old duty-free allowances on 1 January, should give a boost to wine tour operators, as vineyard-visiting becomes a more tempting prospect. If there is no devaluation of the French franc, brush up now on your Spanish and Italian and phrases such as caveat emptor - buyer beware. Visiting a vineyard can be a wonderful way to idle away part (or all) of a holiday, as long as you remember there is no obligation to buy. I was told of a grower in Sancerre who charges an entrance fee. Anyone that desperate should be avoided.
At home, the bargain-hunting spirit is likely to make the competition between supermarkets and off-licences at price levels of pounds 2.99, pounds 3.99 and pounds 4.99 hotter than ever, with occasional forays into the pounds 1.99 loss-leader zone. The trouble with penny-pinching is that it creates all sorts of pressures from buyers through to producers to cut corners, not the least of which is for buyers to choose the cheaper blend in preference to the better-quality one. The buyers I have spoken to say they are against lowering quality in this underhand way. But they may have no alternative.
The new year kicked off with news to gladden the hearts of an endangered species, the sherry drinker. Thanks to legal action by the sherry producers against the Government (for treating so- called British sherry more favourably than the real thing from Jerez), agreement has been reached on a reduction in the duty on sherry. Current levels of 42 per cent will drop to 25 per cent by 1996, with reductions applying to all fortified wines such as port and madeira. The effect will be to bring the duty on a bottle of sherry down by 8p this year and of port by around 30p, although how much of this is passed on to the consumer remains to be seen. Further phased reductions will follow over the next three years, which should leave sherry 54p cheaper overall and port roughly pounds 3 cheaper.
Unless you have been in hibernation for the past three months, you will know that much of France suffered a pretty average vintage in 1992, nowhere more so than Bordeaux. It looks as if there will be no en primeur (futures) market for the second year running. This is a blessing in disguise. Prices in the Eighties were too high for too long. So we can expect plenty of fine wine bargains this year, like some of those that were around at Christmas. We are in a buyer's market once again. Selective buying of earlier vintages of the Eighties, either at auction or through one-off special offers, will be a good way of starting a cellar or filling gaps in an existing one.
This year will be difficult for any producers who still live the lie of the 'If you've got it, charge for it' era. France, Italy and California come first to mind, although all are now taking a crash course in the Nineties school of new realism. A poor 1992 vintage, a strong franc in the wake of Black Wednesday and an increasingly competitive New World could make this a crunch year for France's 'classic regions' in particular.
After successive bumper crops of indifferent quality, a drop in grape prices and pressure on fizz prices from the New World, there is no reason why champagne prices should not continue to fall. In fact, champagne may even go a pound or so better than the pounds 7.99 bottom-dollar 1992 price. However, on the evidence of last year's examples, I would not be in too much of a hurry to celebrate.
Developments outside Western Europe have never been more exciting. Eastern Europe is still more full of dross than promise, but from its bottomless vat of cheap wines there will be some excellent stuff coming from the likes of Bulgaria's go-ahead co- operatives at Russe and Sliven.
Hugh Ryman and the new group of flying winemakers should bring us selective pickings from the east. And now that Moldova is desperate for Western cash, we should soon see a trickle of surprising bordeaux-style reds from one of the few parts of the world whose enormous potential is still untapped.
On current form there is no reason why Australia and New Zealand should not continue to swallow most of the New World column inches, but more New World countries are doing their best to elbow them out, some with more success than others. Chile today is not unlike the rioja of yesteryear, a discovery of often good-value reds (and whites) to watch. The added attraction lies in the fact that Chile has gone down the classic varietal route of cabernet sauvignon and merlot, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. Expect ripples if not waves from Argentina, a country which some believe has even greater potential than Chile.
South Africa remains an enigma, still promising more than it delivers. Now that its industry is moving towards a market economy, we will see more cheap, good-value wines - whites in particular - from the better co-operatives such as Robertson. If the estates get their pricing right, there could be some fine wines, too, notably from Rustenberg, Thelema Mountain and Neil Ellis. South Africa also has the potential to produce sparkling wine to rival Australia in quality, although again the value equation is crucial.
California is still the dark horse of the New World. Despite the strong dollar, there could yet be surprises if Oddbins carries out its threat to bring over some good, inexpensive California wines.
And so back to Europe, where the South of France remains the best hope to offset the hot competition from Eastern Europe and the New World. Vins de pays and appellation wines are fast displacing the classic regions for everyday recession drinking.
When the royal appointee, Corney & Barrow, tells us that what its customers want more than anything is 'an expanded selection of keenly priced French country wines', clearly this is the place to explore. The beaujolais crus, too, from 1991, one of the best vintages there in a long while, will be drinking beautifully this year with lots of juicy, soft strawberry fruitiness.
Quantity-wise, there is no reason why Italy's Mezzogiorno should not follow the example of France's Midi. Puglia and Sicily each produce more than most countries. But, so often, southern Italy has failed to live up to expectations. If you can call back in the year 2000, I may have better news.

Ford Focus EV recalled, again, this time with ambulances

When we saw a note about a recall for the Ford Focus Electric, our first reaction was, "is that a new one? Because it's getting hard to tell." This year, we've already seen the Blue Oval's all-electric hatch recalled for non-working door chimes and a "wiring incompatibility" in the headlights. The car is also reportedly under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the "Stop Safely Now" issue.
Ford Focus EV 'Stop Safely Now' stalling problem under NHTSA probe

The feds are stepping in to investigate the "Stop Safely Now" messages that a Ford Focus Electric vehicle driver reported to AutoblogGreen earlier this year. The situation is a serious one, but not widespread as Reuters reports that the NHTSA has received just 12 complaints. Not a big number considering Ford has sold 1,910 Focus EVs through August of this year, and Reuters estimates 1,000 of the EVs are included in the just-launched federal probe.

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.

So far this year (through the end of May), Ford sold 723 Focus Electrics in the US. Not a whole lot – especially compared to Nissan, which sold more than ten times that many Leafs (7,614). What's interesting is that Ford isn't going to immediately make a bunch of changes for the 2014 model year to try and push that number up. Not according to a report in The Detroit News, anyway.

Archbishop Lori's Homily: St. Patrick Parade Mass
March 13, 2017
Second Sunday of Lent; St. Patrick Parade Mass
Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Baltimore, Baltimore
By Archbishop William E. Lori
In a scene that was to repeat itself many times in our history, a priest by the name of Dolan and a physician by the name of Donovan met a ship in the Baltimore harbor arriving from famine-stricken Ireland. The year was 1847. Father Dolan wrote in his diary that the ship was "freighted with human misery and death" (Cf. Spalding, Premier See, p. 139).
These vulnerable men, women, and children - like Abram in today's first reading - left behind their homeland and came to these shores in hope of a better life. They were fortunate to be greeted in our harbor by a compassionate priest and a devoted doctor, both of Irish descent, They assumed responsibility for the stricken people on that ship. They found shelter for the dying passengers. Father Dolan heard their confessions and anointed them while Dr. Donovan did his best to soothe their sufferings and to save any life that he could. They did not hesitate to take charge of some forty orphans on that ship and with the help of the Hibernian Society opened an orphanage to house them and to teach them a trade or to teach them how to farm.
Moved by the compassion of Christ and his victory over sin and death, Father Dolan - and many priests like him - and Dr. Donovan - and many Catholic lay persons like him - as well as countless religious sisters and brothers welcomed immigrants from Ireland and from many other parts of Europe and transformed their lives. Not only did they help them find housing, education, and employment but they imparted to them the Catholic faith with clarity and fervor and from these generations of Irish-American Catholics there arose leaders - leaders in the Church, including many Archbishops of Baltimore, and leaders in society: in the trades, in government, in the academy, in all walks of life. And most importantly of all, there arose from those generations of Irish Catholics strong, loving, and cohesive families that were the bedrock of Church and society. Not that there weren't problems and serious problems at that - of course, there were. Yet, the transformation that took place in the mid to late 19th century can still be seen in these still early years of the 21st century. Indeed, many of you are here today to celebrate that glorious heritage, to keep it alive, and to pass it on to the up-and-coming generation.
Yet, it is a hopeless task to try to pass along one's cultural heritage if it shorn from its religious roots, indeed its specifically Catholic roots. With each passing day this becomes more and more evident in European Union. St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict, and Pope Francis have all urged that the European Union not ignore the Christian roots of Europe. They have warned that doing so will lead to the loss of cultural identity - a loss that results in not greater unity among peoples but rather in isolation and confusion and a lack of cohesion . . . not to mention the loss of shared truths and values that protect human life and dignity and the common good.
This is surely true of the Irish and Irish-American culture. It was the faith which, centuries ago, helped to form the Irish culture and the faith which sustained that culture through times of war, persecution, and famine. It was the faith communicated in and through the Catholic Church and its institutions that transformed the lives of countless Irish-immigrant families and gave them a spiritual home in which to build their new lives. I think of parishes such as St. Patrick's on Broadway, St. Vincent de Paul, St. John's 10th Ward, St. Peter the Apostle in West Baltimore, St. John the Evangelist in Frederick, St. Paul's in Ellicott City, St. Patrick in Cumberland - and many others besides! In these parishes and schools in the faith was transmitted and lives were transformed. To try to tell the story of heritage of Ireland in the United States apart from this is to rob the Irish-American heritage of its essential content, to render it a mere shadow of itself .
That is why we should pay special attention to today's readings which speak about the transformative power of the faith we share and teach us how to tap into the power of our faith during this holy season of Lent. The first step in reclaiming our faith and tapping into its power to change us is found in the story of how God called Abram to leave his homeland - to leave his country, his father's house, his kith and kin, for a land unknown where he would become the source of God's blessing for the whole world. Abram put his faith in God; he left behind everything he ever knew so as to become the source of a fruitfulness he could not imagine or envision. In these days of Lent, with special intensity, God is calling us to leave behind everything in our lives that hinders us from living our Catholic faith - every sin, every false idol, every lie, every grudge, every bad habit. Self-renunciation and penance is the key to what Christ wants to show us.
And what Christ wants to show us is his glory. We find ourselves today atop Mt. Tabor where Christ, who will soon be mocked, scourged, crowned with thorns and crucified, is revealed in the glory that was his before the creation of the world. Jesus' appearance is dazzling - he is revealed as "the light of the world" - as "God from God, light from light, true God from true God." The Father's voice from heaven is heard: "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!" even as the Holy Spirit overshadows Jesus and the apostles with the very glory of God. Moses and Elijah are there on Mt. Tabor, conversing with Jesus, to confirm that he is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. Friends, this Gospel brings us to the epicenter of our faith (Cf. J. Corbon, Wellspring of Worship, p. 91 f.), to that moment in time when the power of the death & resurrection of the Son of God to change us, to transform us, to make us alive and joyful in God's glory, is revealed. This is what has fueled the Church's mission for over 2,000 years. This is what will fuel it until the very end of time.
Peter, James, and John - who witnessed the Lord's Transfiguration - did not understood what they had seen and heard atop Mt. Tabor until after the Lord's death and resurrection - when they began to share in the Lord's sufferings as they went about preaching the Gospel. So too, St. Paul writing from a prison in Rome, tells his co-worker, Timothy, "Bear your share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God!" St. Paul goes on to describe God's plan to conquer death through Jesus' suffering so as to let "the light of immortal life" dawn in the darkness of human misery. The first generation of Christians realized that the path to new life and glory could only be found in sharing in the Cross of Christ (Balthasar, Light of the World, p. 56). Those who migrated from Ireland to the United States and those who received them with love and compassion understood this.
Now, it is our turn. As we look upon Christ transfigured in glory, let us not fail to see the Cross. And as we encounter the Cross in our daily lives, let us not fail to see the path to resurrection and glory. Indeed, let us in this Lenten season embrace the Cross through genuine penitence, resolve no longer to be half-hearted Christians but true disciples - and connecting or re-connecting with the Church's sacramental life - most especially the Sacrament of Penance and regular attendance at Sunday Mass-let us follow the Lord from Tabor to Calvary and from Calvary to the new life of grace which Christ won for us by his Resurrection. Then will our heritage live as we embrace our faith and welcome those - newly arrived and otherwise - who stand in need of a love that has the power to transform their lives.
May God bless us and keep us always in his love!

A Drop In The Ocean - Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell
A drop of me in the ocean of you,
I drowned in the summer of eighty-four.
In the rose of pink and the sky of blue,
I opened myself as you closed the door.
I dared to dance on the edge of your name
and struck my heels against the setting sun
as the stem of innocence burst in flame
and two hearts for a moment beat as one.
I caressed the curve of your dimpled smile
and attentively gazed into your eyes
so still in the moment, so breathless, while
my heart was suffused with euphoric sighs.
There was blood in the sky and Purple Rain
and sad doves crying who suffered with ease
whose tear-stained wings were uplifted in vain
beneath the shadow of tenebrous trees.
The fireflies flickered, and we watched their light.
They numbered the pages of poetry.
I flowered beside you the palest white
never knowing you were a part of me.
After all these years, I am haunted still,
haunted by sweet, suffering devotion.
Though I wish it, I do not have the will
to be more than a drop in your ocean.

Mar 25, 2011 at 6:10 pm #1271128
I've scoured the BPL forums for information on Trail Runners. I thought I'd find allot of information here, but did not find what I was looking for. I'll be using these for walking only; I'm not a runner. Here's what I'd like to know:
1. Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it?
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight?
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter?
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter?
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog?
Background: I went to Road Runner today. Got the Shoe Dog fitting and found I need Stability shoes. I then tried on two different shoes: Brooks Cascadia and ASICS GEL-Trail Sensor 4. The Cascadia was OK, but didn't fit me very well, whereas the Trail Sensor 4 fit really nicely and also had a deeper heel cup. I definitely liked them the best. The Trail Sensor 4 fit very nice with the custom shoe dogs insert ($70! – ouch) but I did not fit them with the stock inserts.
I'd really like to know what sock you are pairing with your shoes and why. I will use trail runners for day hiking and backpacking with a trail weight of around 20-30 lbs. I'm really looking forward to ditching the boots. But I need your help to make the best choice. Thanks.Mar 25, 2011 at 7:01 pm #1714836
(beware: rant) It's what I did for both road and trail running after years of being told I needed motion control and routinely having injuries, etc. I've since dropped to pretty minimal shoes and have been much happier, although it did take a while for my body to adjust. Ran my first marathon in racing flats and ran my first (and only so far) ultra trail run in x-talon's.Maybe motion control will work well for you. On trails I am believer in having a flexible, close to the ground foot for less change of ankle roll, better trail feel, and more precise landing and pushoff. (end: rant)
Sorry, had to get that out, feel free to ignore it. Here's what I use:
1.Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it?
Inov-8 x-talon 212's. Pretty minimal, lightweight, super flexible, fairly low heal to toe drop (6mm), decent trail feel. They have crazy effective traction in just about everything I've thrown at them. On my 5th pair now and each has held up well. I am beginning to think about stocking up in case they drop this model.
Just tried NB MT101's, a bit stiff in the midsole in comparison to the 212's. Sold them due to this and due to the heel to toe drop, which was greater than I expected (10mm). Using those funds to try the inov-8 x-talon 195's. Same sole as the 212's, but even less cushion and a 3mm H2T drop.
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight?
I have some drymax trail lite's (1/4 crew & mini-crew), but usually wear icebreaker run lite's (micro & mini's). I use micro cut when not concerned about grit, rock, etc. and I prefer them.
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter? Use 1/4 crew with gaiters.
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter? I have in the past, don't follow recommendation though.
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog? No, generally use the stock insoles, but sometimes run without insoles on smooth hardpack.Mar 25, 2011 at 7:09 pm #1714842
Art …BPL Member
1. Favorite shoes – are a very personal thing. What works for one person may be terrible for another.
That said, even "my favorite shoe" is a moving target. This is due to two things mostly. The evolution of my concept of a favorite shoe and what it should do for me. The evolution of the shoe industry itself in its never ending quest for our money.
Current favorite shoe : Salomon XT Wings S-Lab 3 (the lightweight racing version of the Salomon Wings.
I also own "and use" Brooks Cascadia 6,Pearl Izumi SyncroFuel, Salomon XA Comp 4, Vasque Transistor. Each has its pros and cons.
I also own but no longer use at least 8 other models.
This is what I mean by evolution of concept …
What we think a shoe should do changes. Its a process of self discovery.
I find that I'm slowly moving to a lighter weight, more flexible and more responsive shoe.
2. Socks – this is the easiest. I only wear Injinji coolmax(synthetic) minicrew toe socks.
they come in wool which is more durable, but not in the minicrew length I prefer.
3. Gators – if I ever wear a gator, its the ultralight Dirty Girl gator. I keep the same socks mentioned above and pull the gator over the sock.
4. No Shoe Fitter. fit is an evolutionary concept based on our minds connection to our body. No shoe fitter can get inside our head. They only spout the standard line.
5. I do not use special insoles. if a shoe requires a special insole its the wrong shoe for you.Mar 25, 2011 at 7:17 pm #1714847
Thanks for ALL your comments. Just what I'm looking for. I would like to try some Inov8 shoes, but couldn't find any dealers that are reasonably close. The X212s look great. I'm just wondering if they are a bit to minimal for me? As with the MT 101s too. I need a good rock plate cause my feet can't take the rocks, and there are allot of them on many of the trails I hike.
Can you tell me if you like wool or synthetic better? Also, I'm used to wearing medium wool hiking socks. Should I use less or go with a medium weight low hiker?
Thanks for the help.Mar 25, 2011 at 7:25 pm #1714852
Art, thanks. I was refering to the Dirty Girls. I may go that way. Not sure.
Thanks for the other comments as well. I will look at the socks you mentioned. I've liked wool in the past. Just wondering if people who wear trail runners use wool or synthetic? Do I need as heavy of a sock for trail runners as I'm used to using with l/w boots? I use medium-weight wool socks in boots.
Finally, I really yearn to go as light as possible. But I'm just not sure if my 47-year old body will like that. Mostly I'm looking for a good rock plate and good traction with some support. And I don't know how I'll do without the ankle support (of a boot). Seems most people say that trail runners provide plenty of support. I guess we'll find out.

I second the minimalist approach. If you have something in mind that you want to do right away and it is a significant distance then you are probably best just finding a simple (no motion control etc.) light, flat bottomed shoe. The cheaper the better.
If you have some time and flexibility then just go to Walmart and buy some "water shoes". Wear them for all runs but make sure you start very slow and short. Build up for a number of months (10% rule). Your age is no issue, your feet and legs will easily adapt, just give them time. Your body will thank you long term.
It may seem that a flimsy rubber sole would not work well on rock or scree, but I assure you it does. You can actulally run in barefeet across all that if you really want to put some effort into it. But water shoes are a simple, cheap fall back that will provode all the necessary protection you seek. For reference I run most races in barefeet, and ultras in water shoes (I like the "aqua sock" variety from Canadian Tire).Mar 25, 2011 at 7:54 pm #1714871

Hi Warren,
I like Bridgedale Ventums for socks (may be discontinued–not sure–my local store still has them). Also like Darn Tough.
I'm a pretty recent convert to trail runners. Had two pairs of Keen Ridgelines after I switched from boots. Liked them a lot, but the soles wore quick. Loved the wide toes box. Light-ish at 26 oz/pair. Unfortunately, Keen discontinued them.
Just got a pair of Inov8 295s from Zappos (no local dealer near me either). Had to order 2 pairs and return one to get the right size, but they feel great, and Zappos has free shipping both ways. 21.5 oz/pair in size 10. A little narrower than the Keens. Not much cushion. Haven't hiked in them yet–just one day walking around town, but I think I'm going to be really happy with them.Mar 25, 2011 at 8:11 pm #1714883
I prefer lightweight wool socks, but do mid-weight in the winter for added warmth. They are much more comfy to me when wet and I run where there are a good amount of stream crossings. I also don't get hotspot or blisters with them.
The advice on shoes being very personal is spot on. I usually get inov-8's from running warehouse as they allow you to try them on and send back for free if you don't like them. You can't, however, try them on road or trail and then send back. As for the x-talon's they run quite narrow, like many inov-8 models. I switched to minimal road shoes first and started running trails in them. The transition was relatively easy, some soreness in my feet and achilles. Nothing notable and only for the first month at most as I transitioned. I believe part of the key to this was that I was already a mid to forefoot striker. I have yet to see a minimal shoe that works for heel strikers. (edit: when running, no problem heel striking when walking in them.)
I have not needed a rock plate or ankle support. I do just about all of my hiking in the same setup, including peak bagging 14'ers where there's been plenty of skree. I've found my ankles and foot muscles have gained strength and stability as I worked up to doing my full mileage in minimal shoes.
Regardless of what you go with now, I'd say listen to your body and keep an open mind regarding the potential of change.Mar 26, 2011 at 5:54 am #1714975

Good topic!
1. Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it? Been using the Saucony Peregrine for the last few months with sucess. It is minimalism with cushion. It feels like a 3 arrow Inov8 but has a better fit and feel. Also love the 4 mm forefoot to heel drop.
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight? I have used Darn Tough wool socks for years but lately have been experimenting with Injinji. Still not sold on them yet.
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter? Short sock with simblissity gaiters
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter? Bought them at runningwarehouse.com
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog? Never, they hurt my kneesMar 26, 2011 at 6:52 am #1714982

Looks like a few people here use running warehouse. Fyi, you can click on "Team Discounts" at top of main page and enter cp20 for 15% off any order.
(edit: that code no longer works. However, CP15 does work for 15% off and runcolod works for 10% off.)Mar 26, 2011 at 10:21 am #1715045

@cmorseLocale: New England, USA
I currently favor the Inov-8 Roclite 285 – same 2 arrow design as the X-talon 212 (6mm drop), but a bit more protection underfoot and a better rand in front (I tend to kick a lot of rock when running), still a pretty light shoe. Same great outsole as the 212.
I pretty much just use Thorlo Trail Running mini-crew socks except in winter.
Since I know by now what shoe/size I need, I order my Inov-8's directly from one of the guys on Team Inov-8 who has them drop shipped from the warehouse to me.
I've tried various insoles in the past (other shoe brands, not in Inov-8's), but have always gone back to relatively low to the ground shoe which is more stable on uneven terrain and just more comfortable overall..Mar 26, 2011 at 2:38 pm #1715124

The short answer is that you have to figure out what works best for yourself. If you look at elite professional runners training footwear is all over the place; and their goal in running may be different than most of us.
But if you look at an elite 10K or marathoner, they put in a lot of miles each week… often up to 150 mpw. Most competitive runners I know do train a lot on trails, but usually not in trail runners. They may use different shoes based on the training goal of a particular workout. Ryan Hall often runs in shoes at the 12 oz range and races in shoes 1/2 that weight, and most Hall watchers comment that he trains in a myriad of shoes. Some runners train in minimalist shoes.
Socks. Again individual. Some go without, some use simple liners, others use thicker. And many use cotton most of the year. The important thing is to prevent blisters and other friction related injuries. When we hike, we live in our shoes and socks all day. When we run, we usually are only out for a limited period of time.
Professional fitting: Be careful here, because the fitter is going to suggest shoes based on his/her theory on how shoe fit integrates into the training regimen. Some fitters believe that the shoe must compensate for foot strike, others feel compensation contributes to injuries by forcing an unnatural strike. One good think I have noticed in almost all fitters is that they put people in shoes that are larger than what the individual has been using in the past.
When I run, I often just grab the shoes closest at hand. Might be a Brooks training shoe or a trail runner. Really does matter that much to me, as long as they are properly fitted and they provide the proper traction on the surface I am running on.Mar 26, 2011 at 5:37 pm #1715197
Ryan, that sounds a bit minimal for me, especially at this point in my journey. But I will keep in mind your comments as I get further into this new footwear thing.
David, thanks for the tip on Zappos. I didn't know that there were shoe sellers would provide shipping both ways (runningwarehouse too). That's cool. -And another vote for Darn Tough.
Chris, thanks for the clarification and expounding on your preferences and the discounts at runningwarehouse.
Jonathan, yet another vote for Darn Tough. I too have tried Injinji, only in the store. Didn't like them. They felt too tight around my digits. -Seems no one has gone to a shoe fitter and inserts hurt your knees. Glad to hear your experience. It is helpful. I have Super Green feet. Been on only one hike with them but many times on my walks in the neighborhood. Not sold on them either.
Thom, very concise. Like it! I have looked at the Montrail RR. I sure like the weight. Maybe they are enough for me. Gonna go look again tomorrow.
Clinton, your comments are very helpful. Especially about how you "have always gone back to (a) relatively low to the ground shoe which is more stable on uneven terrain and just more comfortable overall." I'm taking that into consideration too.
Nick, thanks for the expanded view of this type of shoe. I know little and now I know a bit more.
All, thanks allot. I'm taking it all in and am heading out to do some more trying on shoes tomorrow. I realize I may not make the absolute best choice the first time around, but I think I'll be allot closer with all of your help. It is much appreciated.
Let the conversation continue.Mar 26, 2011 at 5:42 pm #1715200
Art …BPL Member
Jonathan prefers the Saucony Peregrine
Thom prefers the Montrail Rogue Racer
Rogue Racer has only been on the market a month.
and I think this is also true of the Peregrine.
How many miles do you guys actually have on these shoes.
anything less than 300 doesn't count as a full fledged recommendation.
I only say this because I have been looking seriously at these models myself.
Leaning toward trying the Rogue Racer at this point.
If you actually have miles on these shoes I would appreciate your review.Mar 27, 2011 at 6:06 pm #1715679
That this thread would go at least two pages. There's not much info out there regarding Trail Runners as used by walkers. I hope that more of you will come on and share your thoughts and experiences. Maybe even make this the definitive thread on Trail Runners.Mar 27, 2011 at 6:22 pm #1715689

1. Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it? (Favorite shoes may come and go so some will answer with current shoe)
My current shoe is the Saucony Excursion TR5 (after hearing about them from Dondo). I like that it is lightweight (11.4 oz/shoe, size 10.5) and has alot of cushion, maybe too much. My dislike is that it causes a small linear blister on the bottom of my heel if not pre-taped.
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight?
Working on that one to attempt to stop the friction. I have only used the shoe on two trips, both in the Chihuahaun desert, and they survived that abuse.
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter?
Always low sock. Currently do not wear gaiters.
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter?
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog?
No.Mar 27, 2011 at 6:25 pm #1715692

My last two pairs were Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX and I liked them a lot. However I tested a new pair of Pearl Izumi this weekend and they were great. I think they will become my new backpacking shoe:
– Pearl Izumi Snycro Fuel XC
– Defeet wool Trail 19. I use Defeet for running and hiking. Outstanding
– fit just over the ankle
– bought online (road runner)
– don't use an insole. thinking about trying one, but really haven't had a need
Shoes are different for everyone. What works for one will not for another. Good luck.

1. Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it?
Current favorite is New Balance 573. Not too stiff, has good heel cushion for the many downhills we have here.
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight?
Smartwool PhD Mini Crew Light Hikers. I also have some Injini toe socks when I'm in the mood.
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter?
Low, to fit under my Integral Designs eVent gaiters.
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter?
Nope, we're lucky to find a shoe store here in Arkansas.
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog?
Nope, I'm a stock shoe kinda guy.Mar 27, 2011 at 7:44 pm #1715732

Well for hiking, I keep going back to Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra. They just fit me perfect and last. I have 3 pair. One for when they quite making them, and one a size larger for winter hiking.
I usually wear a Wright Sock or a thinner Smartwool. Those are what I have the most of, as I just put them on my Christmas list each year. But just about any sock works for me. In really hot weather I like a short sock, the ones that do not stick out of the shoe. Gaiters… sometimes Dirty Girl Gaiters, but usually none.
For winter I went up one size on my Salomon. I am pretty set on this set up for socks in winter, after a lot experimenting this year:
– Silk Liner
– Rocky Goretex Sock
– Thicker Smartwool Sock
– OR Verglas Gaiters
Fitter – No. I know how they fit better than they do, since I have them on my feet.
Inserts/insoles – none. This winter I tried a pair of Thinsulate inserts for warmth. I guess they might help. On my last trip I used one Thinsulate and one stock one. Couldn't tell the difference, and I was on snow and in sub-freezing weather the whole time. Guess I might have wasted $30.
Sometimes I think we make shoes more of a shopping decision than we need to. I have tried many pairs over the past couple of years, trying to find the weight Nirvana. But I keep going back to the Salomons. When I see a big sale, I am going to buy a 1/2 dozen :)Mar 27, 2011 at 8:21 pm #1715744

Shoes are a personal thing, but I just wanted to warn you that I got stress fractures from minimalist footwear and 20+ mile days so they aren't for everyone. If you go that route I recommend you stop if your feet start to hurt to avoid injury.Mar 27, 2011 at 8:58 pm #1715760
John, thanks for your comments on your current shoe and the fact you gotta tape your heel for it.
Brad, I appreciate your tried shoe and the one that may become the new go to. Thanks.
Larry, I see NB show up a fair bit. And the sock comments are appreciated.
Nick, thanks for coming back and providing more commentary and insight. You tried the insoles and maybe they were an expense not needed. But now you know. I'm trying to avoid up some of this up front, though I know there'll be a few things that will wind up not working out. I just walked again in my Super Green feet. I think I'll give them one more go and if they don't feel right, I'm going to give them the axe.
Bradford, thanks for the comment. I'll be listening to my feet, especially for what you noted.
I'm heading down tomorrow to try on some more shoes and I'm gonna make a decision soon, whether at a store, or buying on line. With the return policies of some of these websites, it's tempting to just order a pair in two sizes and send back the looser. I'll let you all know what I do.Mar 27, 2011 at 9:28 pm #1715771

@chrismorganLocale: Southern Oregon
1. Your favorite shoe and what you like/dislike about it?
Whatever's on sale for less than $50. (Heaven's to Betsy!) Most shoes seem pretty similar to me, so the big issues for me is how fast do they dry after I've dunked them in a stream, and do they fit my funky calcaneus.
2. What sock do you wear with it? Wool, synthetic, light- or medium-weight?
Wool – whatever's on sale or the REI/EMS/etc. merino generics.
3. Low sock or one a bit higher to stick out the top of a short gaiter?
I like 1/4 length.
4. Did you go to a shoe fitter?
I did until I stopped growing. Now I wear a 12 sneaker.
5. Do you use an insole or have a custom insole like a Shoe Dog?
Nah, but then I have pretty decent feet (save my funky calcaneus)Mar 27, 2011 at 9:38 pm #1715772

Also, Sierratradingpost has had some crazy deals on Montrails lately – about $40 with coupon code:
Here's one for 30% off: TUW7228W
I find Montrails fit me just great. Got a pair of Sabinos a few weeks ago. Wore them for the first time today – no breaking in necessary! Amazing!
$40 – if you don't like them, send them back. $40.Mar 27, 2011 at 10:53 pm #1715793
I'll check out the deals at STP. I appreciate the tip and also your comments on shoes-n-socks.
