Crooner Vandross dies aged 54

Luther Vandross, the crooner whose satin vocals earned him platinum albums and Grammy awards, has died aged 54 after a two-year battle to recover from a stroke.
His death at a New Jersey hospital on Friday was mourned by legions of fans in New York, where he was born and raised, and by close friends like Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin.
With classic songs like Here and Now and Power of Love, Vandross provided a soundtrack for romantic evenings and weddings for two decades.
His career hit a high note in 2004 when he won four Grammys, including a Best Song award for the emotional Dance With My Father.
The honour was bittersweet, however, since Vandross was hospitalised from his stroke and couldn't attend the ceremony.
"Remember, when I say goodbye it's never for long," he said in a taped acceptance speech, before breaking into song. "Because I believe in the power of love."
The child of two singers, Vandross began his career in the shadows, writing and singing backup for big names and recording commercial jingles.
In 1980, Roberta Flack helped him get a contract with Epic. The result was the album Never Too Much, and he became a fixture on the R&B charts.
"He was a musician who couldn't help but give you all he had," Flack said. "He was the kind of guy who was born to do what he did musically and let the world know about it. He was not born to keep it smothered in the chest."
"He was an icon," the Reverend Al Sharpton said.
"People got married to his music. You can almost chart your life based on what Luther records you were listening to when you were dating."
Behind the scenes, Vandross struggled with his health for years. His weight went up and down, and he suffered from obesity and high blood pressure.
After the lifelong bachelor had a stroke at his Manhattan home in April 2003, he was in a coma for six weeks. He spent months in rehab, but friends recently said he was improving.
Just months before he fell ill, Vandross said he couldn't imagine slowing down - or changing his unique style.
"I envision being 80-years-old and still singing the same way," he said. "I've also been breathing a long time, and I don't intend stopping that."

Modular Casio SK-5 Bent by Oceanus, the Vince Clarke Machine
YouTube via xd515. images via this auction
"in a modular design, with a intergrated Speak and Spell called the 'Vince Clarke Machine'.. not endorsed by Vince but totally capable of making erasure'esque sounds!
Over 100 man hours went into putting this beast together and it has many technical bends previously unheard on the SK, such as the spacial distorter the Auto bend ( as on my modular SK-1 but now syncronised to the internal clock signals ) and the ability to re-program the percussion patterns.
Sadly I can't show all the features in the 10 minutes youtube allow, It can also separate and solo any one of the 4 channels, has separate Percussion / Speak outputs, will sync the autobend to the address bus, you can switch of the internal highpass filters etc.
The Intergrated Speak and Spell has it's own LFO and I have a similar one here on youtube.
This machine may also be for sale for a sensible offer.. :-)
Some hi-res pictures and sound clips can be downloaded from here:

Brit Watch: TUF 18, Episode 1
Mike Wootten (6-0) vs. Emil Hartsner (3-0)
Wootten takes on Hartsner of Sweden, and Dana talks about how big of a prospect Wootten is. He goes on to say with a smile, "Not a great fight. I literally have nothing to say about it."
The fight:
White did comment on Hartsner being "boring", and his fence pushing "driving him nuts". He continued, "I'm rooting for Wootten now!" Though it was likely not his best performance, it was enough to Wootten to take the victory after fifteen minutes of fighting, so he can aim to further impress in the house.
Sorry - think it was Davey that Dana was threatening not Wooten
Has Davey been kicked as at the end Dana went on one and showed Davey stressed. hope not
That's what I was thinking ^^
Davey Grant was quality!
Davey looked quality, well happy for him. Honour to be named on his record :cool:
Grant looked real good,another-day-in-the-office-good. Mike secured his place in the house and that's the main thing now. At the later stages a loss whilst looking good can still get you a place on a card to potentially build a UFC career from. No one gives a fuck how good you look if you lose before getting in the house. you're just gone.
davey grant i thought looked one of the better guys ive seen fight onto the house in a while. but the editing really fucks me off, between the ad break it shows main points of the upcoming fight, knew grant lost a point before the fight had even started, because of the 'preview' before the adverts. same goes for the season review, grant looks in a bit of trouble, rousey crying alongside him and him saying 'its not your fault'. injury perhaps?
what is it with yank TV and having to give away/spoil all the highlights in the need to promote drama.

Unbeaten French Oaks (Fr-I) winner Treve uncoiled her electric burst of speed and wore down front-runner Wild Coco to win the Qatar Prix Vermeille Sept. 15 at Longchamp.
Carrying Frankie Dettori to his first group I victory in a year, Treve crossed the finish line 1 3/4 lengths to the good of Wild Coco, with Tasaday another 3 1/2 lengths back in third.
Relaxing off a moderate early pace laid down by Wild Coco, Treve uncorked a sizzling burst of speed in the final furlong for an authoritative victory. It was her fourth win from as many career starts for trainer Criquette Head-Maarek and the Head family's Haras de Quesnay, which also bred the Motivator filly.
The race is the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) trial for females, and Treve will try to become the fifth filly since 1920 to complete the Vermeille/Arc double in the same year. Zarkava in 2008 was the most recent to win both races in the same year.
Last year's Arc winner, Solemia, finished third in the Vermeille before stunning Japanese star Orfevre to win in the closing strides.
Treve's Prix Vermeille win at 4-5 odds was impressive enough to convince Irish bookmaker Paddy Power to install her at the 4-1 favorite for the Arc, to be run Oct. 6 at Longchamp. She is expected to be supplement to the race.
Treve covered the Prix Vermeille, run at the Arc distance of 2,400 meters (about 1 12 miles), in 2:36.82. She showed her explosive turn of foot to win Prix de Diane (Fr-I, French Oaks) by four lengths June 16 at Chantilly in her stakes debut and previous start.
Treve's dam is the winning Anabaa mare Trevise, a full sister to United States stakes winner Tsigane, who was grade I-placed. Her second dam, Trevillari, is a full sister to French group I winner Treble. Fourth dam Trillion was champion in the United States and Europe. Treve is a half sister to French group II-placed Trois Rois.

Denver, Colo. - Junior Melissa Cook (Bay Shore, N.Y.) scored a career-high five goals and juniors Courtney Bertolone (Farmingville, N.Y.) and Samantha Djaha (East Islip, N.Y.) each added three scores as the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team topped Duquesne, 16-8, on Saturday in a neutral site contest played at the University of Denver.
Sophomore Abby Ford (Baltimore, Md.) had a goal and three assists for the Seawolves, who are 1-2. Duquesne is 0-1. During a sequence in which Duquesne had the ball for just under a minute, Stony Brook, helped by goals from Cook, Djaha and sophmomore Jackie Hughes (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), opened a quick 3-0 lead. Following a goal by the Dukes, the trio, again, found the back of the net for a 6-1 advantage. Both of Hughes' goals were assisted by Ford.
Duquesne's Cailin Colegrove made it 6-2 with her tally, but it was all Stony Brook the rest of the first half. An 11-2 halftime lead, aided by three goals from Bertolone and a goal each from Djaha and Cook gave the Seawolves their biggest advantage of the first 30 minutes.
Stony Brook led by as many as 13 twice in the second half, 15-2, after tallies from Ford, Cook and a pair from freshman Jessica Romano (Massapequa, N.Y.). Cook's fifth of the game following a Dukes' goal gave the Seawolves a 16-3 lead.
Cook earned America East Player of the Game honors. Lauren Johnson scored two of Duquesne's final five goals. Junior Mickey Cahill (Bay Shore, N.Y.) made seven saves in goal for her first victory in three tries. Stony Brook was a perfect 18-for-18 on clear attempts.
Stony Brook returns to the East Coast and faces American on Saturday, February 27 in its next game First draw is scheduled for 12 pm.

US brands such as J Crew, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger have helped make Regent Street the most popular shopping destination for American tourists in the UK, landlord The Crown Estate revealed last night.
Regent Street is the only shopping area in London to count US shoppers in its top five highest-spending nationalities.
Regent Street tops the West End and the UK in growth in visits from overseas shoppers, according to a survey by tax-free spending expert Global Blue commissioned by the Crown, which owns the street in a joint venture with Norway's sovereign wealth fund Norges Bank Investment Management.
Visit Britain reported 2.8 million Americans visited the UK last year, spending £2.5 billion.Reuse content

I would like to respond to Stephanie Porter's Feb. 13 letter "Paranoia on the question of gun control."
Ms. Porter wrote that the Second Amendment "states that militias have a right to bear arms like law enforcement." I feel it necessary to quote, not paraphrase the Second Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
There is nothing in the Second Amendment stating "in case they would need to use their guns in situations of arresting criminals." The amendment states that we, as United States citizens, have the right to bear arms. Period.
Also appearing in the Bill of Rights is the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
There is no mention of the word "privilege" that Ms. Porter used in her letter. She has the privilege of being able to write her letter because she was granted that right by our Founding Fathers, under the First Amendment. Does she propose now that we pick and choose which of our rights are protected?
Would it be OK with her if authorities entered and searched her home without consent anytime they wish? How about being forced to feed someone other than her family with no control over it?
I suggest that Ms. Porter go back and do some research on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Maybe she'll realize that our founding fathers weren't being "paranoid."
If we give up one right (not privilege), Ms. Porter, where will it end?

Owner of Circle Y Cutting Horse Ranch in Weatherford, Tx.
Again, I was denied seeing Dr. George F.Cravens. This was my second time trying to see him. I told the PA that I would like to talk to him about my situation. I ask if he was there and she said "yea somewhere". I waited quite awhile then she came back in and told me he had left the building. I was referred to him, but I will not refer him. When you have an appointment with a doctor and he doesn't have time for you, I don't have time for him. I don't care how good he's suppose to be. I'm done. Rude and unprofessional.

Time for him to retire
I knew I had a Tumor going in and was referred by another Doctor. I took in the results of the MRI and CD it was on and 1st saw the PA and was not impressed at all and then Doctor Cravens came in and said I needed some blood test, a more specifics MRI of the tumor and I needed to see another Doctor as they might have to work together on the treatment or surgery on my head. He said they would set things up with appointments. Then he left. Getting this office to do something takes an act of God. I ended up setting the appointments and had trouble getting the Doctors orders of what the test consisted of. That took days and numerous phone calls. Then since we had an MRI the insurance company needed a pier to pier to have explained to them why a second MRI was needed. That never happened as Dr. Cravens could not take 5 minutes to talk to them. I made the appointment with the Dr. he wanted me to see and was told they needed results of the blood test and MRI so they could know what was going on and to be able to confer with Doctor Cravens. I called Cravens office numerous times to have them send it to the Doctor and was told many times they would. But they never did. The Doctor Cravens referred us to tried many times to reach him and to confer but his calls were never returned. After a month nothing was happening, I still was not able to get the other MRI of my Tumor, I had made many calls then finally heard from Dr Cravens office that instead of an MRI they could use a CT Scan. (He did not want to do that pier to pier.) They would order it. Two weeks later it was still not ordered so I made an appointment with another Neurosurgeon and am so glad I did. They are doing all the things that Dr Cravens office would not do. I think Dr. Cravens has done this so long that he just has no urgency, is bored by it all, and does not care anymore. The new Doctor has seen the size of my tumor and can not believe all I have had to go through as it needs to be taken care of. If you own a business or are a doctor, lawyer or whatever and your name is on the door you are responsible to see that your employees are doing the job right. He may have at one time been a great surgeon, but the way he is today and the way his office is run, he is no longer. I had heard all this from some others but thought it could not be that bad and went to him. Big mistake, it is that bad!

first visit
I saw dr.craven for the first time the other day and it was the worst appointment that ive ever had. I have seen many drs over the yrs, but not one of them didnt bother to sit and talk with me til i saw dr.craven. Not only was my visit longer than 2hrs, but to top it off dr.craven sent only his pa to see me. I didnt care much for his pa either. She wasnt empathetic to my situation and got frustrated when i voiced my opinion. I wouldnt suggest him to anyone and i plan on going to a different surgeon very soon.

I do not question Dr. Gravens surgical skills, but based on my experience with him I rate him very low in regards to patient dedication and communication. He does not clearly explain the details of his diagnosis. When pressed for details he is very evasive leaving you with an unsure opinion of what to expect. He implies that you must just trust him! I did just that, based on the recommendations I had received previously.His surgery on my upper back was much more extreme than he had implied it would be, however after a prolonged period of healing the results were good.Because of the extremity of the surgery I chose a different surgeon when it came time to perform surgery on my lumbar spine. However five years later follow up surgery is now required on my lumbar. At this time I felt I may have erred in not allowing Dr Cravens to do the lumbar surgery and that I needed to get his opinion before proceeding and perhaps allow him to do the follow up surgery. I made an appointment for this purpose and made my intentions clear. My appointment was accepted, however after the necessary paper work and an x-ray was completed, and a long wait, I was advised that Dr. Cravens would not see me and that he does not give second opinions.I felt this response was very arrogant and unprofessional. It is obvious that Dr, Cravens is not dedicated to helping the patient as much as his own personal convenience. I felt that his policy should have been made clear to me when I called to make the appointment.Based on my experience I would not recommend Dr. Cravens unless you are inclined to blindly accept his judgement as I did and are not prepared for unsatisfactory follow up. I believe in being very proactive when it comes to my personal health!

Follow up after surgery was very hard with this doctor. After having a surgery with complications we had to wait over two hours for one appointment and never saw the doctor. The next appointment we waited over three hours and never saw the doctor. We have a lot of questions that are unanswered.

How long is laterite capable of holiding onto the active ingredients in medications?
I treated my tank with Clout about 2 years ago, ran carbon for about a month to get rid of whatever may have persisted through the water changes. However, I am still having problems with keeping shrimp, and I am almost thinking that the laterite could still be holding something.
Is this possible?
I am also dosing Flourish, Flourish Iron, Potassium, and Phosphate, as well as Excell.
It also seems that my attemps at keeping shrimp are becoming increasingly successful, I see one almost every day now, and its been there about 2 months. I believe this is the longest I had one last so far.
Could it be that water changes are diluting out whatever the laterite is holding, or is it something else?
Sorry about the length.
Thanks in advance.
Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?
Hi Putty,
I have successfully kept Amano shrimp (Caridinia japonica) for about 5 1/2 months now. I have read quite a lot about them in this time.
They are very sensitive to water quality ESPECIALLY HEAVY METALS. Is it possible that something in the Flourish is too much for them?
Also are you sure they died? - Did you find bodies?
Fish as small as Glowlight Tetra have taken a chunk out of a shrimp tail, wouldn't take a much bigger fish to kill one. However the shrimp have good defenses and can be quite aggressive themselves.
Have you ever found exo-skeletons (shed skins)? These are a good sign that your shrimp accept their water conditions. Never finding any is not good at all, mine were all shedding in the 1st week.
The shrimp who survived may not be the only one, just the only one brave enough to come out. What fish are in there? How big is the tank etc?
I might never find my way back to this thread so I hope what ive said gives you something to go on. If you need any help at all with shrimpy stuff feel free to email me anytime mat AT happyhardcore.dj
Good luck, Matt :wink:
Thanks Matt.
I am redoing the tank this weekend, so I will know for sure how many shrimp there are left. I have not seet moults in the tank so far.

Halal chicken sausages containing pork DNA were served at St Mary's Bryanston Square primary school in Westminster
Aishah Ali
Yet another revelation of non-halal meat has been found in certified halal food. This time in a Church of England School in London.
Westminster Council confirmed that tests have established the presence of pork DNA in halal chicken sausages that have been served in at least one Westminster primary school, on March 14.
A further sample of non-halal minced beef showed that pork and lamb was present. The authority immediately ensured both items were removed from all school menus. The Council has instructed the contractor to temporarily cease supplying meat until this issue is resolved, and to no longer use its halal meat supplier.
The issue only came to light after the authority decided to carry out its own proactive tests on food contamination in the wake of the horse meat scandal. Samples were taken from three schools in the week beginning February 25. In a statement to The Muslim News the Council explained that all tests proved negative for horse DNA, but "a preliminary report was received on March 8 which suggested pig DNA could be present in the halal chicken sausages range." The evidence was found in one sample taken from St Mary's Bryanston Square Primary. A further round of tests were carried out and confirmed the preliminary findings.
The Council confirmed that the halal sausages were a menu choice in 15 primary schools; two nurseries; one special school and one pupil referral unit. All these schools take halal only meat. More than 7,000 school meals are served to primary pupils in Westminster every day. Of these 4,400 pupils have halal chicken sausages as an option.
The authority has launched its own investigation to establish how the contamination arose. Westminster City Council's Tri-borough Director of Children's Services, Andrew Christie, said: "We also understand and regret the upset that may have been caused to parents and children alike. We are contacting schools, parents and faith group leaders and are offering to meet them to discuss their concerns."
"The discovery of pork in these sausages came about because of extra tests Westminster City Council decided to carry out. The results were all the more shocking given the assurances about the food we receive from our suppliers," he added.
Muslims are concerned about the contamination of halal food with pork and are seeking assurances.
Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Dr Shuja Shafi, said: "All consumers have a right to know what they are eating. We are greatly concerned about authenticity and accuracy of food labelling."

Two programs on Staten Island aim to boost girls' self-esteem
Follow on Twitter
on October 22, 2013 at 10:20 AM, updated October 22, 2013 at 11:59 AM
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- From Barbie's unrealistic body proportions to magazine covers with flawlessly Photoshopped images showcasing the super-skinny, young females have been pushed to conform to a narrow standard of beauty for generations.
Today's crop of girls seems to have even more pressure to be all pretty-n-perfect, constantly bombarded by all the images of scantily clad women that dominate the Web, and "thinspiration" blogs featuring anorexic-looking models as motivation for young dieters not to stray.
Recognizing the harmful effects such messages can have on girls' self-esteem, two local initiatives are trying to show young females that their self-worth is not tied up in their physical appearance.
The first comes from Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Office. Called the New York City Girls' Project, the recently launched public health campaign is designed to help young females "recognize that their value comes from their character, skills and attributes — not appearance."
You may have spotted the bus and subway ads starring amateur models of different races and sizes with messages like "I'm a girl. I'm funny, playful, daring, strong, curious, smart, brave, healthy, friendly and caring," along with the tagline: "I'm beautiful the way I am."
An eight-week self-esteem curriculum also is being rolled out at after-school programs across the five boroughs for girls ages 10 to 15.
In workshops led by trained professionals, girls will be discussing topics like healthy body image, the media's portrayal of women and the attributes of positive role models.
Seeing how many girls struggle with self-esteem, Ingrid Ebanks says she "jumped on the opportunity" to bring the Girls' Project to the Jewish Community Center's (JCC) Beacon Center at Dreyfus Intermediate School, Stapleton.
The director of the Beacon program observes that it's not just physical appearance they grapple with, but also getting out of their comfort zone. She notes they seem afraid of failing, and also concerned about getting their peers' approval before attempting anything new.
That's exactly the kind of insecurity that Lindy Crescitelli and George Anthony address in their Stand Up and Lead! program, an initiative that helps young people develop leadership, communication and conflict resolution skills, which they have presented at schools throughout the five boroughs and beyond.
Sponsored by the United Federation of Teachers 'Brave' campaign and organized by the Sisterhood, a women's coalition, the free conference will "address issues that impact their self-esteem, leadership development and communication skills." Rosanna Scotto, co-host of "Good Day New York," and Kaitlin Monte, Miss New York State 2011, will be featured speakers.
Crescitelli says it promises to be a spirited day where girls of all ages and backgrounds will share their experiences in a safe, nurturing environment.
"It's very interactive," Crescitelli says, noting attendees will collaborate in smaller groups to discuss the issues plaguing girls.
From what Crescitelli and Anthony have heard from students who've participated in previous events, cyberbullying can have a devastating effect on their psyches — which is why they believe self-esteem issues go hand in hand with anti-bullying efforts.
"They are constantly being critiqued about their body, their hair, the way they talk, the way they dress and on and on," Crescitelli says.
Noting the verbal abuse starts as early as kindergarten, he adds, "It's very painful to see the self-doubt already forming [at that age]."
And if that self-doubt continues to build, he warns, it can lead to more serious problems, such as eating disorders, self-mutilation (cutting), depression, sexual promiscuity and a shyness to express one's self.
Crescitelli concludes that igniting a fire in girls can benefit us all.
"When they feel great about themselves and we empower young ladies in the community to be all they can be," he says, it strengthens our community as a whole

Have Realistic Expectations – You are probably not Warren Buffet, meaning you don't have a giant budget for gifts. So be reasonable in your expectations and don't put undue pressure on yourself. Just because people ask for new trucks or $300 games for the holidays doesn't mean anything to your real-life budget. Don't feel guilty for being prudent!
Agree About Gift exchanges – You don:t have to give gifts to show love. Agree to limit gift-giving to kids or pick a name and exchange with one person. You aren't santa Claus. He lives at the North Pole and he will handle everyone's gifts.
Get a Job for the Holidays – some folks regularly get a job at the holidays to cover the added costs of speacil foods and presents. You could open a Chiristmas Club account and save a little each week all year or you could get a holiday job.
Give creatively- instead of giving cash give babysitting, cake decorating, snow shoveling. There are many ways for you to show love by giving of yourself and not just your money.
Party at Home- parties at home can be awesome. It saves money, and if you take turns visiting the homes of your friends and family you can have a lot of fun and keep costs way down.
For those people of faith this is the time of year to remember sacrifice and miracles and not money or wealth.

Does this board allow you to turn all 8 channels on at the same time? In order to avoid flickering with the last board I had to play a few games because the board was limited to only turning on 2-3 channels at a time. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. Maybe sanity is finally slowly returning to the ammo market.
I went on Cabelas.com this morning. I purchased a 525 brick of Remington .22lr ($24) and added a box of 30-30 ($17). Shipping was $9. Total was $51 out the door.
Goes to show...there is NO NEED to pay the ridiculous/overinflated .22lr and ammo prices out there.. Goes to show that Midway's $15-18 shipping and handling charges are ridiculous as well.
Thanks for the post. Maybe sanity is finally slowly returning to the ammo market.
.22LR sold out at 08:10 EDST.
I wont be wronged, I wont be insulted, and I wont be laid a hand on. I dont do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. The Shootist (1976)
Do you reload any centerfire ammunition?
I think that if I was going to place an order, I would place a larger amount if I could get it (Limits on specific items.) to cover the $9. or more fee for shipping. Now, if I still LIVED where I used to live, way out in the boonies in my former state, I would utilize some online companies more because of the fuel/mileage/wear & tear and my TIME costs.
This is a smaller valley (Missoula.) so most places other than the one up by Flathead Lake are VERY close to our home and handy for us to replenish stock if we can find exactly what we want. We do not have to drive all over town or for an hour one way to get to a store. I pick up the telephone. I call the places on my list. Sometimes when MM is OUT and about - he stops on his way home from work or to work or to any other place that he is going to on that specific day.
I am glad that you found what you wanted. However with that said, telling people over and over again about not buying some things when THEY CHOOSE TO BUY IT WHEN THEY SEE IT IN STOCK is a whole other ball game. Nothing personal. I would not pay those super, super high prices that some of you see at shows or online - Gun Broker or wherever.
However, if I was a Newbie, I only owned one firearm, I had NO ammunition to FEED that one firearm and I felt as if I would never get what I needed for self defense or for my only gun (NOT plinking or hunting or competition.) - I would buy one box for $25. to $29. for a 500 bulk box of 22lr of the BRAND name that I wanted IF I could find it here in town or at a show. That is an example of what I would do if I was a Newbie and hurting as many were last winter and this spring.
Remember this fact... in some states you can't legally ORDER ammunition to be delivered to your home or business and those large/small online companies will NOT sell or ship to you too.
So those people are UP a creek without a paddle.
And no, not everyone decides to MOVE (Sell out, lose a good job, sell their house, they need to care for their elderly folks, etc.) just because of more stupid gun laws passed by dumb @@@ CONTROL FREAKS.
I do feel sorry for those people who can NO longer order ammunition online and other items too.
NOT all of those good gun and liberty minded folks vote for their state's anti gun leaders - they are caught in a trap during that time frame.

River my friend, has it ever occurred to you, that "nothing is free"? Did it ever occur to you, that shipping rates at present, are where many companies keep the door open? Ever notice how a gimmick item on TV for "Two for 19.95" sounds like a great deal, until, "separate shipping and handling fees apply" and notice how the shipping fee is never mentioned?
Trust me, its just like a grocery store, that takes a loss on a bag of oranges, yet hikes the price on their milk. Somewhere, even if Cabelas has this ammo at a "good price" some place else, they will be making gravy on some other item.
Compare prices on components some time between all the big net houses, Midway, Cabelas, Midsouth etc, and compare their whole cost, shipping etc. Bait and switch is a common practice, just like the "deals" at an airline, where they charge extra for a carry on.
Cabelas may have had a total of two bricks total to sell, and look how many hits they got simply from your post? For sure enough, to sell those two bricks, at a "fair" price.
Cmon buddy, as hinted elsewhere, lighten up on calling others right or wrong on how they wish to spend their ammo money.
Does it occur to those that believe that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, may be because that guy takes the time to take care of his grass?

river1229 thanks for sharing.
can we move on now?
To my weak mind, @ $24 per a 525 pack of .22s, they have already made their money. No need to overcharge on anything else. Just my opinion, everyone has one.
This I-pad knows what I want to say and how to spell better than I do. Sometimes I catch it's mistakes, sometimes I don't.
Just bought 450 rounds for $19 at local walleyworld is that about right?

Groundbreaking Changes To Solitary Confinement in NY
The New York State prison system is about to become the largest in the country to ban the use of solitary confinement as punishment for prisoners under 18, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union, which sued the state in federal court over its use of extreme isolation as a form of punishment.
In addition the state's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision agreed to restrict the use for pregnant women and the developmentally disabled, and to allow inmates in extreme isolation more time out of their cells.
Those are just some of the groundbreaking changes the department agreed to in an effort to settle the lawsuit. Under the agreement, both sides will suspend the lawsuit for two years while they try to reach a permanent settlement. NYCLU and the state have also agreed to let two "nationally recognized corrections experts" make recommendations to reform the department's use of isolation cells, according to a statement from NYCLU.
The experts are James Austin, the former director of the Institute on Crime, Justice and Corrections at George Washington University, and Eldon Vail, the former chief of the Washington State Department of Corrections. Austin and Vail will issue their recommendations this spring, according to NYCLU.
The agreement comes amid a national discussion over the use of solitary confinement, which many now see as doing more harm than good.
"This agreement really puts New York at the forefront of facing the issue head on and dealing with it in a very positive and proactive manner," said Taylor Pendergrass, senior staff attorney at NYCLU.
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision provided a prepared statement on behalf of Acting Commissioner Anthony J. Annucci.
"The interim stipulation that was approved by the Court today, following months of negotiations, will result in historic and appropriate changes in the use and conditions of special housing units, while preserving the health and safety of our staff and inmate population," according to the statement. "These are important reforms that will make the disciplinary practices in New York's prisons more humane, and ultimately, our state's criminal justice system more fair and progressive, while maintaining safety and security."
The union for correction officers, however, was more critical. The New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association released a statement on behalf of President Donn Rowe.
"Today's disciplinary confinement policies have evolved over decades of experience, and it is simply wrong to unilaterally take the tools away from law enforcement officers who face dangerous situations on a daily basis," according to the statement. "It is a fact that our state's corrections facilities have become more overcrowded with a higher proportion of violent offenders than ever before, and any policy changes must prioritize the safety and security of everyone who works or lives in these institutions. As the men and women who stand on the front lines ensuring order in some of the nation's most dangerous prisons, we look forward to carefully reviewing this agreement."

South Jordan • With Bingham 7-footer Brandon Morley clogging up space in the middle, Davis was forced to fire away from the perimeter.
The game plan played right into the Darts' hands.
Davis made nine 3-pointers seven in the second half to overcome the host Miners 60-56 in a nonregion battle on Friday. With both teams unable to hit clutch free throws, the Darts stayed in the game thanks to their outside shooting. It turned out to be just enough to neutralize Morley and the Miners.
"He's a good player who gets in there and alters shots," Davis' Jesse Wade said of Morley. "We had to trust that we could get open shots and find guys. It's all about trust with our team. We're all great friends a band of brothers."
Ironically, Morley, who finished with 17 points and 17 rebounds, made the Miners' lone 3-pointer of the game. However, he fouled out with 55 seconds remaining in the game and the Darts clinging to a 56-55 lead.
Each team had chances to take or build leads in the final minute. However, while Bingham went 1 for 3 on free throws, Davis went 4 for 8, pulling ahead for good on Chance Parker's free throw with 37 seconds left. The teams combined to make just 24 of 42 free throws in the game 57 percent.
"It's been a problem for us and not just this year," Davis coach Jay Welk said of his team's free-throw shooting. "It's like the kicking game in football some people take it for granted. Maybe we overthink it at times. We're going to keep practicing it. There was such a good environment tonight. That's what you want."
Wade and Abel Porter combined to make all of Davis' 3-pointers. Wade, who finished with 18 points, made four of his five 3s in the second half. Porter, who led all scorers with 19 points, made three of his four after halftime.
"We've got good shooters," said Welk, whose team is undefeated at 5-0. "These guys can step out and stick shots. The thing I like is they're not afraid to take them. Parker was huge in that game. He's getting possessions for us, and we need those types of guys to be successful."
Bingham (2-2) held the lead for most of the first three quarters before Davis shot itself back into the game. The Miners matched their biggest lead (37-30) on Daylor Youngblood's free throws in the third quarter. However, Porter made a pair of 3-pointers and Braden Koelliker had a basket as part of an 8-0 Davis run.
Morley's uncharacteristic 3-pointer gave Bingham a 55-50 lead with barely more than three minutes remaining in the game, but Wade answered with consecutive 3-pointers to help the Darts finish on a 10-1 run to seal the victory.
Koelliker added 13 points and 10 rebounds for Davis, while Bingham's Jordan Evans had 12 points and five rebounds and Braxton McKee 10 points.

I actually carried an collapsible PR-24 for a while, before my first department went to the ASP (many, many moons ago). I really liked the collapsible version and that was with early 90s technology. An even smaller version would be nice. I liked having the side handle.
As has been stated above, prior to that, my standard PR-24 usually stayed in the door holder unless I was rolling up on a fight call.

I was issued a PR-24 in 1988 and I miss it. I later bought an aluminum shaft collapsible PR-24. I remember seeing the rapid rotation batons. The guys in blue in the video are Tallahassee PD cops. I'd return to the straight PR in a heartbeat if my agency allowed. They are more versatile than the Monadnock Auto-Lock I'm saddled with. The PR-24 is a bit bulkier, but I've been in fights and foot chases with it and used with authority, it will stop the the threat. But then, my guys call me a dinosaur.
Be a pain to carry but the PR24 if used properly delivers much more force of impact than straight batons Asps etc.
If you know how to use one and where on the body to use one they will chop down just about anybody in short order.
You dont have to believe a train is coming. Itll run over you anyway.

Gig Alert: Jones Street Station
Jones Street Station
"The Understanding"
Playing Tuesday at Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Avenue, Williamsburg)
Get: Tickets | Directions
With every glissando of the harmonica and frenetic mandolin strum, Jones Street Station combines its soulful harmonies with straight-up music chops. The bluegrass jam sessions in the backroom of the now-defunct Baggott Inn were where two of the band's members, Danny Erker and Jonathan Hull, culled the group's Americana-infused sound.
If Jones Street Station's newest song, "The Understanding," sounds like a good song for a trip, perhaps that's because it was written on the road between Seattle and San Francisco. According to Erker, the song's composer, the tune springs from the simple desire to be understood. That struggle is there in the song's harmonic tensions and a chorus that itches to be belted out over a noisy barroom. Tuesday night, that's just what will be going down.

Itz been awhile since I wrote anythingz because I got a sister. I didn't want one but Mom came home from skoolz on the last day (which we Tabbies celebrate as a holiday) and she has a teeny kitteh in a box which she says is our sister named Hillary Kitten. The sister is not only a GIRL but she is the wrong color-gray and white and waz very tiny like nouse-sized. A stoodint (Mom sez) brought her to skool in his pocket and Mom and the assistant principal took her away from him. Mom didn't think she would live but she fed her kitten milk and took her to Doctor Johnstone. Now Hillary is galloping around the house and annoying me. Wills really likes her and they sleep on top of the kitten cabin Mom got her. Fred tries to ignore her which doesn't work very well. I lick her because she needs washed. I think she might be O.K. EVENTUALLY.
It is still white and cold here at my houz. It snowed so much and was so cold, brotherz and I dint go outside for dayz. Finally when I went outz, I could walk on top of the snowy white and there is no grasses to eats! Brotjerz wont go outz because they has short furz and get cold. I went out with Mom went she scoops up the carwalk. I wantz it to be warmy and grassy and buggy!
Yesterday, when Mom gots home, I asked her to go outs. My brother Fred went too but wussey Willie stayed inside cause it was wetting from the sky. Fred dint stay out--he don't like wets but I did. I walked around and went to llok at our skwirl herd and looked at the next door woofer who was out. Then I realized it was real dark. I went to front door under the roofie thing and sat on the rug for awhile, but no one opens the door. I tried to stick my paws under it and open it like I do inside doors but the was no under opening. It was wetting harder so I walked around to backdoor which most times is open when we is out. But it wasn't so I sitz on step wand waited. alygator could have been out there. Fred finally saw me and came to door. He talked to me..Stoopid asked why I was out in wet! Mom finally heard him talking to me and opens door. She said I could have been et by alygator!

Fresno State Hangs Tough Against No. 4 Stanford In Pebley's Debut
Nov. 9, 2012
STANFORD, Calif.- The Fresno State women's basketball team held strong with No. 4 Stanford at Maples Pavilion Saturday evening, but fell short, 72-61, in head coach Raegan Pebley's debut on the road.
"I'm proud of how our team approached the game, how our team responded to adversity and they represented Fresno State with a lot of pride tonight," said Pebley.
Ki-Ki Moore led the `Dogs in scoring with 18 points, while Taylor Thompson chipped in 16. Thompson also hauled in a career-high 10 rebounds in the effort.
Both teams struggled to score the ball from the opening tip as neither team was able to net a bucket during first two plus minutes. Stanford scored the game's first basket at the 17:38 mark, but on the next possession Ki-Ki Moore drove the basket for the first points for the `Dogs. Moore followed with a 3-point basket on the very next possession to give the "Dogs their first and only lead of the game, 5-4.
At the first timeout with 15:41 left in the first half, the score was knotted at six points apiece. Stanford followed the timeout scoring six points in a row in the next five minutes of play, Ta'Nitra Byrd halted the run with a layup to bring the score to 12-8, nine minutes into the game .
Thompson knocked down a 3-pointer with 2:33 left in the opening half to keep the score close, 27-25. Thompson scored 12 of her 16 points in the first half as she was 5-of-8 from the field, while shooting 2-of-4 behind the arc.
Stanford extended the lead to 34-29 at the break.
"We went into halftime with hope," said Pebley. "We went in feeling like we can beat this team, we can play with this team and that's all we needed to feel like what we're doing here is working."
Fresno State scored the first four points after halftime to trim the Cardinal's lead to 34-33. Both teams would trade baskets following the `Dogs outburst to keep them within striking distance.
Moore hit a 3-point basket from the right side as she tied the game at 42 each at the 15:02 mark of the second period. Her basket would bring the Bulldogs as close as they would get for the remainder of the game.
Stanford responded with a 14-2 run against `Dogs as they took advantage with second-chance opportunities and changing to a zone defense.
"Stanford is not a zone a team and they went zone," said Pebley. "Their adjustment to zone slowed us down a bit, I think they realized if they were going to win the game, they were going to have to change something."
The `Dogs out-rebounded Stanford 44-41 and claimed 25 offensive boards in the game, with 15 offensive boards coming in the first half.
Byrd scored 14 points off the bench. Moore and Thompson played all 40 minutes of the game, while Rosie Moult played 39 minutes.
Next up for the `Dogs is its home-opener on Monday at the Save Mart Center versus Cal-Maritime. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.

Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose
001. Along with preadolescence came a more pressing desire for escape. [PN: Topography of life's reading.] …how far a book could take me from my life and how long it could keep me there. [PN: Why people read: escape or home (?)] … Reading was like eating alone, with that same element of bingeing [sic] .
002. …a confrontation with the mystery of time. [PN: Unlike some people who claim a love of language, Prose actually documents (?) it.]
003. …ideas and politics trumped what the writer had actually written. [PN: ??]
004. …Afraid of running out of books, I decided to slow myself down by reading Proust in French. [PH: That'd do it.]
005. [Regarding writing after reading inspiring work.] It's like watching someone dance and then secretly, in your own room, trying out a few steps.
006. I've also heard fellow writers say that they cannot read while working on a book of their own for fear that Tolstoy or Shakespeare might influence them. I've always hoped they would influence me, and I wonder if I would have taken so happily to being a writer if it had meant that I couldn't read for the years it might take to complete a novel.
To be truthful, there are writers who will stop you dead in your tracks by making you see your own work in the most unflattering light.
007. Usually, I would teach one creative writing workshop each semester, together with a literature class entitled something like "The Modern Short Story"–a course designed for undergraduates who weren't planning to major in literature or go on to graduate school and so would not be damaged by my inability to teach literary theory.
008. Close reading helped me figure out, as I hoped it did for me students, a way to approach a difficult aspect of writing, which is nearly always difficult. [PN: Allow other authors to do the teaching. Since they couldn't be here—Prose translates.] They are the teachers to whom I go.
009. Let's say you are facing the challenges of populating a room with a large cast of characters all talking at once. Having read the ballroom scene in Anna Karenina, or the wild party that winds through so many pages of William Gaddis' The Recognitions, you have sources to which you can go not just for inspiration but for technical assistance.

Semarang, Dutch East Indies
|10 May 1965
(aged 70)
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France
Hubertus Johannes "Huib" van Mook (30 May 1894 – 10 May 1965) was a Dutch administrator in the East Indies. During the Indonesian National Revolution, he served as the Acting Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1942 to 1948.[1] Van Mook also had a son named Cornelius van Mook who studied marine engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] He also wrote about Java - and his work on Kota Gede is a good example of a colonial bureaucrat capable of examining and writing about local folklore.
Hubertus van Mook was born in Semarang in Java on 30 May 1894. As with many Dutch and Indos growing up in the East Indies, he came to regard the colony particularly Java as his home.[2] Following the Japanese conquest of Indonesia in 1942, Hubertus van Mook was appointed as Acting Governor-General by the Dutch East Indies government in exile near Brisbane, Australia.[3] Due to his liberal inclinations and sympathies towards Indonesian nationalism, many conservative Dutch distrusted his policies and he was never given the full title of Governor-General.[4] Due to the weakened position of the Dutch due to the Nazi invasion and occupation, much of the task of retaking the East Indies following the Japanese surrender in August 1945 was carried out by Australian and British forces. While Australian forces succeeded in occupying the Outer Islands with minimal resistance, British forces in Java and Sumatra were challenged by a nascent Indonesian Republic led by Sukarno and Hatta.
On 1 October 1945 Van Mook arrived back in Java along with elements of the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration. However, their presence generated much outrage from much of the Indonesian populace who were opposed to the restoration of Dutch colonial rule.[2] with Dutch support being limited to Christian areas like Ambon and Manado, which were at that time (not before WWII) the chief sources of recruitment for the Royal Dutch East Indies Army.[5] While he planned to grant independence to Indonesia, he advocated a federal Republic of the United States of Indonesia with strong political and economic ties to the Netherlands. He regarded Sukarno's Republic as economically inept and unable to ward off the Indonesian Chinese, Indonesian Indians and the rising Indonesian Communist Party.[6]
The above factors and violations of the Linggadjati Agreement prompted the East Indies government to launch a police action in mid-1947 known as Operatie Product. The KNIL and Royal Netherlands Army occupied large areas of Java and Sumatra, with the Republican army offering only weak resistance.[7] However, the Dutch were held back from full conquest of the Republic due to pressure from the UN Security Council and the United States, who called for a ceasefire.[8] This led to the announcement of a ceasefire in January 1948 followed by a formal armistice. As a consequence, what was previously considered to be an internal Dutch affair now took on an international dimension.
The Renville Agreement, as the armistice was called, stipulated the withdrawal of Indonesian forces from Dutch-occupied territory and the establishment of a ceasefire boundary known as the Van Mook Line.[9] After some time, however, the Indonesian military, secretly, returned and began guerrilla operations against the Dutch. This led to a second major Dutch police action known as Operatie Kraai in December 1948.[10]

I use these boards both for my 2 dimensional pieces--mixed media collages, and my 3 dimensional ones--mixed media figure sculptures, as the base. They come in a good variety of sizes and are easy to paint or cover with just about anything.

Contemporary art mounted on boards

Solid, level and well made...
By DPetrillo
from New York
I am a painter and have used these panels for oil painting. First I size them with a hide glue or a PVA seal then paint directly over that. You could also use a ground color over the sealing layer but that is optional. Important thing is that the panel are sealed with 2-3 layers (if using oils).These panels are dense therefore they have a bit more weight when compared to others. This comes from it being made from a high quality maple plywood which lends to the very even (no-warp) quality. It has a very smooth top surface. Side edges are a nicer version of plywood edges but can be capped if you prefer another aesthetic. The bracing on the back used by the manufacture seems quite appropriate to the size you order. These panels are not 'solid wood' (non-plywood). From several years of trial and error I have found that such types of panels - unless you are ordering very highend version - usually warp. Making these maple panels an excellent value.
Artist Board

from Wichita Falls, TX
I am using this to support my pastel paper, as I wanted to use it on a table easel, especially when we travel or when I set up on the porch. I like the sturdiness & stability.
Versatile boards!
I always use these boards as bases for my mixed-media figure sculptures. They are usually painted with fluid acrylic paint or sometimes wood stain. They provide a solid support for my figures and the floor or ground of whatever scenery is involved. I don't know what else would work as well as these.

This a very smooth and sold board. It's surface is easy to work with as the paint glides on the board.

Just what I was expecting- nice, solid board with a smooth surface.
Round Art Boards
By avatar
from Fort Lauderdale, FL.
I like to work with the round format on board but I do wish they would make them even larger. They are very expensive to work with.
By Ricci

These hold up really well and are great quality. They came quickly. I've used lots of these panels to mount some of my drawings. Would buy again.

I like oil painting on board. The painting does not warp or get damaged as easily vs working on canvas.

Ebenezer Christian Children's Home was founded on a vision. In 1994 we saw a great need in our community. We saw hurting children that had to be removed from their homes due to neglect and abuse. We made it our mission to provide a loving and caring Christian environment to those children in need. We have strived to provide the most basic human needs, love and acceptance, to those who God has placed here.
Ebenezer Christian Children's Home serves as a loving and nurturing home to displaced children and our staff is dedicated to the care and well-being of each child resident here. We treat each child as an individual and provide as much love, compassion and attention to each individual child as humanly possible.
We serve children ages three through twenty-one since. Since 1994 we have been blessed by the outreach of the community without whose support and partnership we could not continue to provide sanctuary to our children. Ebenezer can also assist you with Adoptive Services and Foster Parent Training.
We receive donations from individuals, businesses, and churches throughout the year. Annually, we hold a three day Southern Gospel concert called Singing in the Foothills . It is always held in June, the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday following Fathers Day under a HUGE 6000 seat Campmeeting tent. Find out more about Ebenezer at www.ebenezerfamily.org and Singing in the Foothills at www.singinginthefoothills.org.

The gospel is the good news. The good news suggests that there is bad news. The bad news is that every person has sinned - rebelled against God's authority, turning their backs on Him. The good news is that God made a way for everyone to be absolved of sin and to renew the precious relationship with Him and to live with Him eternally.
The gospel involves basic truths as set forth in the Bible. Let's start at the beginning.
In the beginning was God. God is the Creator. He created the earth, the heavens, animals, birds, etc. and He created us. We are dependant on God our Creator for our existence. As the Creator, He has absolute authority over His creation. He has authority over our lives. He is the Father. We are His children.
Sin is an offense against God. It is rebelling against His absolute authority. The Bible tells us that everyone has sinned against God. That sin has broken our relationship with Him. Unless we are reconciled to God, we will spend eternity apart from Him. This is spiritual death. (Isaiah 59:1,2; Romans 3:23; Romans 3:10-12; Romans 6:23)
Now for the Good News, the Gospel.
God came to live with us as a man. That man is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, perfect and without sin. He came to earth to live a perfect life and to die for us. He died to carry our sin to the grave. He died, was buried and three days later He was resurrected. He was raised from the dead. With this He defeated the power of death and sin. (John 1:14; John 1:29; Colossians 1:19,20; Hebrews 9:27,28)
Jesus is now at the right hand of God. He reigns as King of all. He freely gives His righteousness (sinlessness) to anyone who receives Him as Savior. When you put your trust in Jesus Christ to take your sin away, He gives you His righteousness. You are saved. Jesus is the only way for sinful mankind to regain the relationship with God. (Hebrews 1:3; Mathew 28:18; Ephesians 1:19-21)
The logical response to the gospel is.
Faith: Faith is putting one's trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to pay the price for sin.
Repentance: Repentance is a change of mind and heart. Repenting involves changing directions. It is turning away from sin and turning toward God. A changed life and changed behavior is evidence of repentance.

I've done a lot of thinking and playing over the last few days. I've really enjoyed many games this year and had a hard time picking the game that would occupy the last on this list. In truth, there are roughly 12 or 13 games I would classify as "great" this year (a couple that are borderline "amazing") so a few games that are of the caliber of this list didn't make it.
You may find that many of these games are narrative-based, and that can't be helped. When judging creative works, there is no such thing as objectivity, and therefore this is all based on preference; because I prefer narrative experiences, I like those kinds of games better. I still tried to be honest with myself though and include games that seemed better than others even though I liked the others more. Overall, I think this list is pretty representative the year's best. Here it is, with the games in no particular order:
Hotline Miami
The Walking Dead
Borderlands 2
Mark of the Ninja
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Spec Ops: The Line
Mass Effect 3
I'll save my thoughts on individual games for the shortlist, but overall I think the dominant theme this year was the rise of the indie game. Three of the games on this list don't have a big-name publisher and five of them were developed with small or relatively small teams. Other great indie games this year included FTL, Fez and The Unfinished Swan. Otherwise, I think we saw the progressed converging of the console and PC worlds in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, because it is of a genre that usually isn't available on consoles due to limitations of the gamepad. I personally think the mouse and keyboard are still the better option, but it's great that they've opened the gates to making strategy games more mainstream, especially on consoles.
Another theme I've noticed this year is games commenting on themselves (in academic language "self-referential"), but more specifically on violence in games. Fez, while I haven't played it, has been said to be "homage" to games in general, especially the 8-bit platforming classics of yesteryear. More common in 2012 were games that criticized violence and the player themselves in games; the three that come to mind are Hotline Miami, Far Cry 3 and Spec Ops: The Line. I personally think Far Cry 3 didn't do a good job of this, as I only noticed the criticisms when I read several interviews of the lead writer. Hotline Miami's criticism is more subliminal but still executed well and Spec Ops did it the best. I had a nagging feeling in my gut for days after I played it, and it's ending had just as much an emotional effect on me as The Walking Dead or Mass Effect 3's did.
Another thing I've been saying and heard some of the IGN editors say is that this year seems devoid of "amazing"-caliber titles. My personal scale for games is "horrible, bad, average, good, great, amazing" and pretty much all the games that came out this year failed to fall directly into the "amazing" category (two or three are borderline). Many years we have one or two "amazing" quality games, a handful of "greats" and "goods" and then averages on down. Last year, for example, the only two "amazing" games were Portal 2 and Skyrim; the rest were either "great" (Arkham City, Uncharted 3), or lower in quality. I personally liked this year because we have so many "great" games that the overall quality of games is higher. It's great for us as consumers, too.
I'd also like to point out the little indie game titled Home. It barely got any attention and IGN didn't give it a good review, on the basis that it was more interactive fiction. I don't understand how more "gamey" games like God of War or Portal 2 aren't interactive fictions themselves and how this makes Home a worse game, but in any case I thought it was very well done and thought-provoking; it does something with the end that not many games do. It's cheap on steam and any PC can run it so you should check it out.
I should have my shortlist up in a day or two. What did you guys think of my top ten games? Or my thoughts on trends/themes throughout the past 12 months? I love discussions so please sound off in the comments.
