An evaluation of an ambulatory manometry system in assessment of antroduodenal motor activity

While abnormalities in antroduodenal motor function have been documented in both organic and "functional" disorders, controversy surrounds the ideal manometric technique. We sought, therefore, to evaluate a digital solid-state ambulatory system. Sixteen normal volunteers underwent 24-hr recordings of antroduodenal motility. Following catheter placement, a standardized meal was ingested in the laboratory; thereafter, subjects were ambulatory and assumed normal diet and activities. The system was well tolerated; subjects reported that it did not affect their usual activities. Migrating motor complex (MMC) activity was identified in each subject (mean frequency: 4.1 MMCs/24 hr, range 1–8); on average 1.9 (range 0–4, frequency 0.1/hr) occurred while awake and 2.1 (range 0–5, 0.3/hr,P<0.05 vs awake) during sleep. The fed response was evaluated by calculating a motility index (MI) at 30-min intervals from 30 min before to 120 min following meal ingestion. Postprandially, MI was maximal during the first 30 min following meal ingestion: MI (mean±sd) 30 min before vs 30 min after meal in the antrum: 4.16±1.42 vs 5.33±0.72 (P<0.05), duodenum: 4.04±0.80 vs 4.57±0.47 (P<0.05), respectively. None of the other postprandial intervals were significantly different from baseline. There was no significant difference in MI between the standard andad libitum meals. Retrograde catheter migration (mean 5.6, range 1–10 cm) occurred in relation to all meals; as a consequence, antral recordings were lost following 60% of all meals, thereby limiting meaningful analysis of the antral fed response. We conclude, firstly, that while an ambulatory antroduodenal manometry system is well tolerated and reliably records duodenal motility, postprandial catheter migration limits antral recordings, and, secondly, that a motility index calculated during the first 30 min following anad libitum meal accurately reflects the fed motor response.

I will be working in Budapest from Tuesday June 2nd night through Thursday night June 4th. Can arrive on Sat May 31st and leave on Monday June 8th, so besides work will have about 5.5 days left for sightseeing vacation etc.
Asking for suggestions of other places to visit either in Hungary or Central Europe. I have been to Vienna for 4 days, Budapest for 3 and also visited Prague, Krakow, Sarajevo, Mostar and the coast of Croatia before.
My thoughts are use the days to travel around hungary and visit other places there, or possibly go to Slovakia or Romania or northern Serbia (seems like the places that are close by). Of course given that I could fly if needed can extend a bit further too.
Suggestions appreciated, for places to visit (any can't miss places) beyond Budapest. and also transportation suggestions (I am comfortable driving in Europe, have done so in Croatia, France, England etc)

There are other places worth seeing in Hungary - I like the southern cities as I am a big fan of Art Nouveau - Pecs and Szeged especially. A lot of people like Eger.
I enjoyed visiting southern Romania last fall - click on my name for my TR.

Near to Budapest are Szentendre and Estergom that could make for half-day trips. We also spent a few days last spring in Romania; specifically Sapanta and a much-too short overnight in Cluj as a last minute road trip. That area of Romania is beautiful.

"central Europe", Eastern is Ukraine and beyond.
Fourfortravel has good advice, I'd also look at Eger (lovely University town where the bull's blood wine comes from, GyonGyos with a pleasant spa, Miskolc which is a bit more dumpy but has an old castle and an underground spa and Tokaj which is where the world's best wines come from, small town nice run of restaurants along the river and a good hotel. All of these are on the railway so easy to get to.
The Bukki national park is good walking or bike riding and there is a narrow guage railway that gets to its heart.
Romania, is best in Transylvania and up towards the country of Moldova (not the country) where there are the famous painted monestries. Bucherest is getting better but still awash with corruption and the obvious affects of the same.
Slovenia, is more westernised but suffering finacially at the moment. The capital is worth about 8 hours visit, small but perfectly formed while Lake Bled and the hiking around there is fantastic.

Consider taking the train unless you rent a car in one country and return it in the same country there may be huge drop-off charges for returning it in another country from that you picked it up in and trains in central Europe though not high-speed run a dense network with very frequent departures.
Some great sites for learning about central European trains: www.seat61.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.ricksteves.com. Train travel is still cheap there - no railpass would be cost-effective for your seemingly relatively limited train travels.

Short trips (1 night stay) out to Eger, great for wine tasting or going to nearby thermal baths is great. Or to lake Heviz.
Train trip to Bratislava is great as is this city for a 1 night two day stay.
Or train to Serbia to Subotica- cute town and can also do trip out to nearby vineyards/natural park

I did a day trip to Bratislava from Vienna and spent a whole day there - better to stay overnight but in one day you can savor this neatly restored town on the Danube - you can also take hyrofoils there on the Danube.

Bratislava is easier from Vienna because they're thisclose. It's 5-6 hours RT from Budapest, so either a LONG day trip or a good overnighter. And Bratislava is small so a good target for a short trip.

Looked at some of our travel notes from the past three years...you would be best served with a car, though, for these suggestions.
In Hungary, Sopron, where the Iron Curtain first fell (Berlin just had better PR); Pannonhalma (small, small town but with a beautiful abbey); and the Eszterhazy Palace in Fertod.
In Austria, Rust (Austria), for its stork nests; Eisenstadt for the "other" Eszterhazy Palace.
In Slovakia, the Danubiana Museum; a Trabant tour of the Petrazalka area of Bratislava (if you're into that sort of history).

The girlfriend of Tiger Woods cooperated with 'professionalism' when her urine sample was taken to lab for a mandatory drug test.
Lindsey Vonn had an unexpected guest when attending the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards. Wearing a white with a plunging neckline, the Olympic ski gold medalist was visited by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Monday night, June 3 during the star-studded event at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in New York.
She got her urine sample taken for a mandatory drug test as part of the International Olympic Committee rules governing Olympic athletes. "Yes, she was tested at CFDA," her rep confirmed to E! News. "That is an understood part of her job." A USADA spokesperson added that the athlete cooperated with "professionalism."
"Lindsey Vonn has participated in the USADA out-of-competition testing pool for more than 12 years," the USADA rep continued. "As part of her participation, she provided USADA with her location information indicating she would be in New York and we performed a test collection on her there. Her sample was collected in accordance with the standard protocols and will be processed by a WADA-accredited laboratory."
"This real-life example demonstrates the commitment of our elite Olympic athletes and the accommodations they make for the inconvenience of drug testing, in order to ensure the ideals of clean sport are upheld," the spokesperson added.
Vonn, 28, injured her right knee in a crash at the Alpine World Championships in Schladming, Austria earlier this year. After recuperating from her injury, the girlfriend of pro golfer Tiger Woods gets back to training for the Sochi, Russia Winter Olympic Games next year.

colorPicker 0.9 is a sophisticated eye dropper tool with many cool features, which makes it one of our Best Chrome Extensions for Developers. In this review, I will contrast colorPicker 0.9 with ColorZilla, one of our Best Firefox Addons for Developers, which is also available for Chrome.
How colorPicker 0.9 Works
When you left-click colorPicker's icon in the Chrome extension bar, a small menu comes up. The addon offers two different modes: rotate color and eyedropper. Note that you need to reload pages or restart Chrome for colorPicker 0.9 to work immediately after installation.
For the eyedropper, you can choose a range from 1 pixel to 101 x 101 pixels. The range essentially is the square area from within which the average of all colors will be calculated. Since those calculations are processed in the background, the app may seem slightly unresponsive at first.
The eyedropper's results are captured in a separate colorPicker 3 Free Color Picking Tools To Choose Colors From Your Desktop 3 Free Color Picking Tools To Choose Colors From Your Desktop Read More , which by default appears in the bottom right of the browser. The window can be dragged at its edges or resized by its bottom right corner. Color values are shown for HSB, RGB, CMYK modes, and the hex code is provided. To save a selected color to the palette, click the square with the circle in the bottom right. However, even after restarting the browser, the values wouldn't align properly with their boxes, which looked a little funny.
One very neat feature within colorPicker is that you can accurately adjust color values, not only by manually typing in numbers into the input fields, but you can also scroll through them using the up/down arrow keys or the mouse. With the mouse, click a field and hold, then drag the mouse up or down to change the color value. It appears to be the scroll feature that makes the numbers act funny within their fields.
To exit the eyedropper, click the [ESC] button.
The most interesting feature for developers is the rotate color mode. Open the website you're currently working on, go into rotate color mode, and you can seamlessly change the color of any DOM element in real-time. As you move the mouse pointer across the website, the various elements will be highlighted. Click one to activate the DOM Color-Explorer. You can even select a tag and change its CSS rule.
To exit the rotate color mode click [ESC] or the [X] button in the DOM Color-Explorer.
colorPicker 0.9 also has a JavaScript app and a web demo called playGround that you can experiment with.
How ColorZilla Works
Clicking the ColorZilla pipette icon in the Chrome addon bar reveals its various features.
Every time you want to pick a color, you need to click the pipette icon in the addon bar. This behavior can be changed via the ColorZilla addon options available via the main menu. Here you can also enable a keyboard shortcut. As you drag the eyedropper across the screen, the current color and its RGB values and hex code are shown in the menu on top of the page.
By default, the hex code of a selected color is automatically copied to the clipboard. All colors picked during a session are stored in the History, which you can open via ColorZilla's menu.
Moreover, ColorZilla comes with a tool to analyze the colors of a website, a palette browser, and a CSS gradient generator.
We have previously covered the ColorZilla Firefox addon 3 Color Picker Add-Ons For Web Designers & Graphic Artists [Firefox] 3 Color Picker Add-Ons For Web Designers & Graphic Artists [Firefox] Eyedroppers and color pickers can work outside a mammoth graphic tool like Photoshop and CorelDraw. Most of these tools are small and portable. But today, we will diverge from desktop color picking tools and look... Read More .
colorPicker 0.9 and ColorZilla Compared
These two tools are similar at first glance, but they differ significantly in their approach.
ColorZilla shines when it comes to picking colors, saving them in a history, analyzing website color schemes, and picking colors from a palette or creating a gradient.
colorPicker 0.9 on the other hand offers much more advanced features. Color picking is straight forward, but users have to build the palette manually and values are not automatically copied to the clipboard. colorPicker 0.9 blows its competitor out of the water when it comes to manipulating DOM elements on a live website. This is a killer feature for serious web developers.
To sum up, ColorZilla is the better tool if you want to analyze color schemes, build a palette, and use picked colors right away. If you are an experienced web developer and desire a tool that allows you to experiment with the color design of a website in real-time, you need colorPicker 0.9 in your toolbox.
Do you prefer a browser addon for picking colors or a desktop color picker 3 Desktop Color Picker Applications To Help You Pick The Perfect Shade 3 Desktop Color Picker Applications To Help You Pick The Perfect Shade "Creative" is a word I'll never use to describe myself!

"Guardians of the Galaxy" Drops New Trailer & Photos: Check It Out!
We're still a few months off from the theatrical release of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and thankfully Marvel is giving movie fans an appetizer to stave off the pangs of hunger.
There's a new batch of first-look photos as well as a short preview clip, and lead star Chris Pratt is pumped about the project.
The "Parks and Recreation" hunk told press, "There's a whole lot to this movie–it's not a stage play. You couldn't make Guardians Of The Galaxy the play and put it on Broadway. Being stuck in space with no accountability makes for a strange combination of youthful vibrancy and cluelessness in a childlike man.
As for his character, Pratt noted, "He does some things that most people wouldn't get away with. But part of his arc is being willing to essentially sacrifice himself for the greater good of other people."
Also starring Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Benicio Del Toro and Djimon Hounsou, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is slated to hit theaters August 1st.

The Taj Mahal is a tomb built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. She was his third wife. Eventually, Shah Jahan was entombed in the Taj Mahal with his wife.
The building is in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Widely thought of as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, it is one of India's biggest tourist attractions.
It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the Agra Fort, 2.5 kilometers away.[3] It was listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World in 2007.[4]
Construction[change | change source]
The Taj Mahal is an example of Mughal architecture – a mixture of building design ideas from Islamic Indian, Persian (old Iran), and Muslim arts.
The Taj Mahal was constructed with materials from all over the world, and over 20,000 people were used to move building materials. It is generally thought that Ustad Ahmad Lahauri was in charge of the construction.[5] The construction was finished in 1653.[6]when the construction of taj mahal is 6ooo feet
Tourism[change | change source]
The Taj Mahal had 2 million visitors in 2001 and in 2014 there were 7-8 million visitors.
Threats[change | change source]
Many people think it is one of the most beautiful buildings ever built. However, it is slowly being damaged by acid rain.[7] A nearby oil refinery has been blamed for some of the damage. In 1996, the Indian Supreme Court said that local industry was harming the Taj Mahal.[8] The court set up an area of 10,400 square meters around the Taj Mahal called the Taj Trapezium Zone. Industries within this zone must use natural gas instead of coal.[9]

Oklahoma City, Okla. — The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored a pair of unearned runs in the ninth inning and rallied to defeat the New Orleans Zephyrs 7-6 on Thursday.
The Z's defense has been impeccable with two errors spanning their last fourteen games and led the league in fielding, but a throwing error led to a pair of unearned runs.
The Zephyrs rallied with three eighth inning runs to overcome a 5-3 deficit. Vinny Rottino led the Zephyrs with four hits, two doubles, and a triple and three RBIs.
New Orleans starter Justin Nicolino had a streak of 20 consecutive innings without allowing a run snapped in the fourth inning. He allowed 5 runs on 12 hits in six innings.
The Dodgers loaded the bases in the ninth with two walks and a single off of Carter Capps, when Kyle Seager hit a ground ball to first base. Brady Shoemaker's bobble led to an errant throw home allowing two runs to score and allow the Dodgers to walk off winners.
Oklahoma City improved its league best record to 20-7 and the Zephyrs are now 12-13.
The Z's and Dodgers game was delayed by rain. The Zephyrs have had seven rain delays this season. The Z's defense has league best .990 fielding percentage with just two errors in their last 14 games. The team is tied for the league lead with 34 double plays. The Z's activated pitcher Rob Morey from the disabled list and reassigned Salvador Sanchez to Class A Batavia.
The Zephyrs continue the eight game road trip in Memphis a 7:05 p.m. Friday. The Z's will start RHP Jose Urena (1-0, 1.13) against LHP Kyle Hald (0-1, 5.40) Radio: WMTI 106.1 FM

The Pentagon Spends More Money Fixing Rusty Old Shit than Canada Spends on Its Entire Military
How much is $22.5 billion? Our government could buy over 150 shiny new F-35s. Or it could fund the entire public school system for a quarter of the year. Instead, it spent it repairing rusting-away boats, planes, and tanks. Ugh.

Paul Fix (b. March 13, 1901 - d. October 14, 1983) began his film career in silent films during the 1920s.

Client Reviews for Casa del Molino
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Casa del Molino. I can only agree with all the other reviews. From the support we received from Vintage Travel to the warm welcome my son and his wife received on arrival (we all arrived separately) and the superb villa and grounds, we hardly wanted to leave! The weather was exceptional and we were a family group of eight adults and three children. The pool was the highlight of the holiday for the children, but we really appreciated the beautiful house and grounds and the views from every angle. This was a holiday I will always remember with pleasure and gratitude to the family who share their lovely home.
Very pleased with the service of Vintage Travel. Queries were answered quickly and actions were prompt.
This house is a great holiday space for a big group. There is a number of activities you can do in the house like ping-pong, table football, basketball and there's space for kids and adults to run around. Then there are the mills (la ruta de los molinos) going past the house, following a beautiful tree line along the stream, some mills have tables for picnics. Also, the coastline along the estuary offers numerous calm beaches - not too crowded. There are many restaurants serving good quality local food that you can take home or eat in. The house has good areas like living room with TV, the kitchen and dining room are spacious. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms. We used the outside BBQ area to cook churrasco. There are pool side showers and toilets. Playroom with its toilet. Good shaded area areas in the garden for those days too hot for us. Outside tables for drinks or meals.We all agreed it is a great house for a group with young children. The family greeting us were friendly, helpful and generous sharing the house history with us. We would recommend this house with no reservations.
I can only agree with the comments of the other guests in praising the house, the facilities and the location. We were 9 adults and 3 children in the 6 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. Everything was maintain at a high standard, including the pool and the garden. The weather was great (22 to 26C during the day and cooler at night) and the surrounding countryside is very attractive, with lots of places to walk and many small, almost deserted, sandy beaches. There's not a lot of culture to see, apart from Santiago de Compostela, which is well worth the drive. Don't chose the shortest trip on your GPS - it will take you through old narrow roads and will take much longer. The local region has spent a lot of money on new roads that are worth paying the tolls for. The GPS coordinates for the house are 42.422095, -8.740873. This takes you to the front door.
A superb villa, excellent facilitities - fantastic, large swimming pool - exceptional location and view.
We had the most fantastic time. The surroundings and house were beautiful. I felt completely safe and secure and at ease. I never had to worry about where the kids were as they could not escape! The surrounding beaches were beautiful, once we worked out how to get there. The house was huge and the owner extremely nice. He was very welcoming and very friendly with the children. The facilities were also fantastic. Could not fault anything. One of the best holidays we have ever had.
The property was just as it appeared on the internet. It was wonderfully appointed and maintained. There wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't available. The information supplied by Vintage travel was very detailed and helpful. We enjoyed our holiday immensely.
Had very enjoyable holiday in Casa del Molino, house very spacious, with amazing views. There are very good local shops which sell bread, fruit, meat and wine etc within easy walking distance of the villa. There is excellent bus service , hourly on quarter past the hour to Pontevedra where you can get either bus or train to Santiago. Bus station in Pontevedra very helpful regarding timetables or you can of course avail of very helpful staff in any of the Tourist information offices. (catch the bus locally at bus stop opposite supermarket which sells meat etc on main road). Make sure you visit local fishing village in Combarro, history is clearly explained at various sections along these narrow streets. It's a short walk from car park at beach and up few steps ----- check out local bars/ restaurants here as well as the lovely souvenir shops, you will not be disappointed.
We all really enjoyed our holiday.The villa was wonderful the view across the bay was spectacular.There was so much to see and do in the area. We would love to return someday.
The villa was the best villa we have ever stayed in. So spacious and comfortable and a wonderful view.

Waiting until the last minute to file even a simple tax form can be stressful. Filing early gives you time to go through your forms with the need of rushing.

If anything should change this year and you end up owing money to the IRS, filing early will give you time to collect any money that is due before the deadline.
- Stay On Track
Filing early lets you know what you can expect to receive in your refund. This means you can plan where that money will go; whether it's to bills, furniture, or even a newer vehicle.

Ten Most Beautiful U.S. Neighborhoods, Including One in Denver
As you know, we love Denver and regularly celebrate the neighborhoods that make up the city.
Now, however, one of those neighborhoods has been singled out as among the ten most beautiful neighborhoods in the country.
Thrillist is the site behind the latest rankings.
Below, find the photo-illustrated top ten, supplemented by excerpts from Thrillist text.
Count them down below — and to see the original post, with much more information, click here.
Number 1: Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts
Between the red brick sidewalks, the classic Georgian architecture, and the gaslights casting their amber glow down the narrow streets, this gorgeous colonial 'hood stands out from the rest of Beantown like a... well, like the most beautiful neighborhood in America. The row houses on Beacon Street overlook the fields of Boston Common (the oldest park in the country), and the whole neighborhood is equally beautiful in winter and summer....
Number 2: Central Park West Historic District in New York City, New York
New York's Upper West Side isn't a bastion of all that's cool in the Big Apple, but when you've got the kind of money to own real estate here, well, you don't have to care what other people find "cool." Old money is its own kinda cool....
Number 3: Bungalow Heaven in Pasadena, California
In case the name wasn't a dead giveaway, this 16-block Pasadena neighborhood contains approximately 800 bungalows and exemplifies the early 20th century's Arts & Crafts architectural movement....
Number 4: College Hill in Providence, Rhode Island
The College Hill section of Providence is a living timeline of architectural motifs: from the 18th century Georgian-style Old State House, to the 19th century Greek Revival Providence Athenaeum library, to the modern, boxy design of Brown University's Granoff Center for Creative Arts.
It sounds like a lot, because it is.
But that's a good thing....
Number 5: Garden District in New Orleans, Louisiana
Next Page
NOLA's Garden District gets its name from the original design of the neighborhood, with each of its blocks holding only a few houses to allow for large gardens to surround each home...

Back in February a bunch of the hot studs from Men of Montreal took over a local guest house for a weekend of filming. And even though it was freezing outside -- Montreal winters can be downright polar -- Ben Rose, Marko Lebeau, Hayden Colby headed outside for a soak in the hot tub. The rising steam gives this shoot an eerie and erotic feel.
As brave as these three hunks were, they weren't about to suck and fuck outside -- their dicks might have gotten frostbite -- so after a hot soak in the tub, they headed inside the guest house for a steamy threesome sex scene.
Hayden Colby loves getting his ass fucked, so he was in heaven with two studs to fill his mouth and butthole. While Ben Rose was pounding Harden's ass, Marko Lebeau surprised the top when he slide his stiff cock into Ben's hole. After a sweaty fuck session, Ben and Marko sprayed their cum loads all over Hayden's face, and while Hayden licked their cummy cocks clean, he blasted his own load all over his body.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Denver's club scene gets more crowded by the month, with new venues sprouting up like spring blossoms (or weeds, depending on how you look at them). Regardless, the hi-dive towers head and shoulders over the field. Into its third year, the club's booking of local and national acts only gets better -- but the bands are only part of the equation. The stage and sound are ideal. The all-ages shows are run smoothly and humanely. Sputnik, the hi-dive's next-door satellite bar, is a great place to chill out before, during or after the rock. Strelka, its kitchen, serves awesome food that caters to carnivores and vegans alike. The whole room is the perfect mix of respectable and seedy, and the owners aren't afraid to host multimedia dance parties one night and noise operas the next. And the location, smack in the middle of one of Denver's coolest neighborhoods, can't be beat. Above all, the hi-dive excels at being intimately, passionately involved with the scene that sustains it. It's not just a place to watch a band, chug a beer and take a piss on your way out. Instead, it feels like home.
When concert season opens at Red Rocks, the crowds run rampant throughout the tiny burb of Morrison. It's enough to make anyone long for a stiff drink and a classic Americana meal, which is exactly what the Blue Cow provides. Whether you prefer a Bloody Mary, a margarita or a mimosa, the staff can hook it up; they serve everything from Budweiser and Corona to microbrews and Mike's Cranberry Lemonade -- even a martini in a pinch. They also brew the strongest espresso in town, and the soft-serve ice cream and shakes are ideal on a hot summer day. It's the perfect place to nurse away a hangover before the big show -- or to kick-start the next drinking marathon.
The title of Lawrence Argent's sculpture isn't very catchy, and most people will draw a blank when hearing "I See What You Mean," but if we say "The Big Blue Bear" at the Colorado Convention Center, you see what we mean. The piece was an instant hit with the public, and it has become a nationally known icon for Denver. Even the normally artless business boosters hijacked it, sending out a guy in a cheesy blue bear suit to promote the hotel tax during last year's election. For all the love, however, it's the fact that the sculpture is sophisticated, contemporary and by a hometown artist that makes it one of the best things downtown.
In 2003, Carol Dickinson was facing retirement from directing the Foothills Art Center in Golden, and she decided she wanted to leave a lasting monument. A take-charge sort of gal, Dickinson went to the Foothills board and suggested having Texas artist Jesus Moroles create a sculpture garden in his signature minimalist style. (Truth be told, it was more than a suggestion; she presented the idea as a fait accompli.) The board agreed, and Moroles teamed up with architect Ted Shultz and landscape designer Susan Saarinen while Dickinson began cajoling donors for funds. Typically, projects such as this take five years to finish, but Dickinson got it done in just two and half, bringing Golden into the 21st century in the process.
Aurora's partly seedy, partly rebirthed main drag gets extra marks for effort in 2005. Last fall, Longmont artist Mario Miguel Echevarria put up his "Aurora Eterna: A Public Spectacle" mural atop Pasternack's Pawn Shop, shedding brilliant neon lights on a series of stylized symbols of Aurora history. "Aurora Eterna" is the perfect companion to the stretch's other murals (by Jason Needham and Susan Cooper), and it adds a touch of class to the tawdry.
