You won't have to wait for any investigations,
Obama has made so many enemies at State Dept,
CIA, and Pentagon, it's all coming out out now...
The walls are closing-in fast- and they know it: witness Jay 'Carney Barker' Carney's 'ashen appearance' at Friday's hostile presser... where all present witnessed the glorious miracle of the White House press corps arising from the grave in unison and actually starting to ask questions. Meanwhile other players are now starting to talk, i.e. David Patraeus' comment that he always considered the WH/State Dept Benghazi talking points to be 'useless'.
And there's no shortage of questions to ask, esp. considering how the MSM to this point hasn't really asked very many-
of course Carney answered even fewer, and when he did, with obfuscation, deflection, and baldfaced lies.
of course Carney answered even fewer, and when he did, with obfuscation, deflection, and baldfaced lies.
So WHERE was Obama that night? Did he just go to bed like Mark Levin says? Where's the cool picture from the White House Situation Room this time? Hmmm?
If I'm not mistaken, only the president issues 'stand down' orders- WHY did he do it? We now know rescue crews were chomping at the bit- yet he and Hillary left a US Ambassador and three others to die. WHY?
WHERE are all the other witnesses that were there on that night? WHO's hiding them?
WHY were the talking points edited 12x? WHY was the CIA's references to 'Al Qaeda' and 'five previous Benghazi attacks' get scrubbed from them? WHO did it?
WHY did Obama, Biden, Rice, Hillary, and Carney ALL LIE to us about some fictional 'demonstration'... among other things?
WHY did Obama, Biden, Rice, Hillary, and Carney ALL LIE to us about some fictional 'demonstration'... among other things?
And why did Jay Carney have a special, private, off-the-record meeting with 'reporters that matter' (he really did say that) just prior to Friday's presser... a meeting that went on-and-on in a back room, delaying the original scheduled time of the press conference by over three hours?
This schlubb has got to crack under the pressure soon- is anyone envious of a man who serves as this habitually dishonest president's firewall between him and an increasingly hostile press (that's trying to save what residual crumbs of credibility they retain)?
Evidence such cracking may already can be seen in Mr Carney's assertion that increased IRS scrutiny/audits of TEA Party and other conservative groups were 'not political' in nature... of course not Jay lol
Pop the popcorn and kick back, this is going to be a great week...

Is This the Best Bachelorette Season Ever?
I've said before I tune into The Bachelor on occasion and I definitely followed the season when that Texas bar owner jilted both of his final two women in the end. So, I was glad that they chose one of the jilted girls, DeAnna Pappas, to be the next Bachelorette, and I tried to watch this season.
But something went wrong. There was a lot of. . . yelling. I felt uncomfortable watching her get so upset, and I felt sympathetic toward both her and the guys. But not enough to watch regularly.
Apparently, however, I might be alone in these feelings toward DeAnna and crew because The Bachelorette is getting some of the best ratings the entire Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise has seen in years.
So in honor of tonight's finale, what do you think? Has DeAnna's search for love been the best season ever?

Almost 25 years ago, legendary Australian politico-rockers Midnight Oil staged a guerilla gig on a flattop truck parked in the shadow of Exxon Oil's skyscraper headquarters.
As the lunchtime crowds spilled onto 6th Avenue and New York traffic came to a standstill on May 30,1990, the band unfurled the banner "Midnight Oil Makes You Dance, Exxon Oil Makes Us Sick'.
Rock reunion: Peter Garrett onstage with Jim Moginie
Manly: Exhibition offers glimpse at golden era of Aussie rock music
They launched into a searing six-song set, including Blue Sky Mine, Dreamworld and John Lennon's Instant Karma to address the environmental catastrophe after the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil on the pristine Alaskan coastline.
Coinciding with the release of the Black Rain Falls concert video on DVD for the first time, and the launch of The Making Of Midnight Oil exhibition in Sydney, drummer Rob Hirst reminisces about some of the band's historic live moments.
Sydney's Northern Beaches — late 1970s
Formed as Farm when Hirst, Jim Moginie and Andrew James were still in high school, they became the Oils in 1976 with Peter Garrett and Martin Rotsey and honed their skills in Sydney's coastal pubs.
"A promoter called Jason Wilde, who turned up in a pink suit and had a blond 'fro, said he would get us this gig at the Royal Antler Hotel in Narrabeen.
"After a few gigs, we had a pretty good crowd of about a couple of hundred people coming back to see this crazy band with this singer waving his arms around and the drummer spinning sticks off the cymbals.
"I remember Pete got up on stage on maybe the fourth gig there and said 'See this a---hole over here (pointing to Wilde). He hasn't paid us and we're not playing a note until he does'.
Jason started fumbling in his wallet and laid some bills on a road case. Rock was cheap then, it was only about $2 or $3 a ticket."
Goat Island — January 13, 1985
To celebrate Triple J's 10th birthday, the band played a legendary gig on the Sydney Harbour island at sunset. Peter Gifford had replaced James as bass player in 1980.
If everyone who claimed to the gig had actually been there, the Oils would have played to tens of thousands of people.
"We had been to Japan and made Red Sails In the Sunset with Nick Launay and come back with a whole bunch of new songs and instruments; the band musically freaked out there. We jumped at the chance to play the birthday concert and these new songs. I knew it was being recorded and filmed, so I was really concentrating on doing good takes.
"Like all those things, they go very quickly but I do remember at one point turning around and seeing this magnificent backdrop of Sydney in all its glory with the fire tug unleashing its water cannons and the yachts coming in to listen to the music."
Black Rain Falls — May 30, 1990
The band were playing two concerts at Radio City Music Hall and wanted to stage a surprise gig to protest the Exxon oil spill in Alaska. The cops wanted to shut it down. Bones Hillman was now bassist.
"We had blocked traffic on 6th Avenue outside the Exxon building with this big flattop truck which had been set up with all our gear in a warehouse down by the Hudson River the night before.
"We got woken up at 11am by our tour manager who said we had to get on stage now because the cops had told our manager Gary Morris they were going to shut it down.
"We were staying a few blocks away and Jim and Martin were carrying their guitars and me my sticks through this crowd. We get on stage and the cops go, 'One song, that's it, we're gonna shut you down.'
"We played the first song Dreamworld and I could see Gary doing his classic hustle with the cops and he was winning the argument because you could see their big hips starting to move. 'These Oils, from Australia, they're OK, we're gonna let em play one more song.'
"It went song to song so that's how we managed to play six. The audience got massively bigger at midday as everyone poured out of the buildings for lunch and we unfurled the banner and this relatively small gig became this as-far-as-the-eye could see gig.
"There were faces pressed against the smoky glass windows of the Exxon building, looking down at us."
The Sorry Suits, Sydney Olympics Closing Ceremony — October 1, 2000
"I think we were really surprised and relieved by the massive reception we got.
"There were only a few people who knew we were doing it and it had to be that way. But we had to tell someone and when we told (director) David Atkins, he said, 'We never had this conversation.'
"With tacit approval, we had coveralls over our overalls and literally as we walked out into the stadium with Yothu Yindi playing, we revealed the suits. It could have horribly backfired. Pete was singing and we were miming, so the pressure was off."
Wave Aid, Sound Relief and the future?
After Peter Garrett left the band to join Federal politics, the Oils agreed to reunite for two major charity concerts and a handful of warm-up shows. What comes next now that Garrett has left Parliament remains uncertain.
"Getting together for those shows was a very Midnight Oil thing to do. I really don't know the live future of Midnight Oil, if there is one.
"We are lucky all the members, have continued to play. It's certainly a comforting thought if the band ever got around to doing it.
"There's nothing worse than seeing a band who hasn't played for a while try to get up there and play the way people's memories are.
"All of us are pretty match fit still. When we did the two warm up shows in Canberra for the bushfire gig, Pete literally walked across the lawn from Parliament House, took off his suit, got into his civvies, took the mic and sang better than ever. So that's not going to be a problem."
The most ridiculous piece of memorabilia Rob Hirst found in his attic for The Making Of Midnight Oil exhibition.
"A rejection letter from Bernard King. I was a student still and got addicted to (TV talent quest) Pot Of Gold because I thought Tommy Hanlon Jr was this lovely old gentleman and Bernard King was such a bitch.
"At one point there, they offering good prize money, like $1000 or something for an original song.
"Jim and I had done a couple of demos, so we sent them in expecting to win and got this rejection slip. It said very politely, f... off'."
■ Black Rain Falls DVD out Friday 20 June
■ The Making Of Midnight Oil opens at Manly Art Gallery and Museum on Friday 20 June and runs until September 7.

ZTE Skate
Yeah new versions are incompatible, don't think much has changed so if you find the old apk it should work, but it doesn't run well. I wouldn't bother if I were you.
Josh92 replied to arnoldziq's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comOrdered mine too :) Also got 1-2 weeks, can't say I trust that 100% after whats happened but still... I'll still be keeping an eye on the boards here as I'd like to keep modding the Skate for fun :)
Oh yeah I'd imagine the Gnex would be dirt cheap by then - though I'd probably be against getting it after so long :)
Damn! Always avoided contracts. Least you'll probably be able to get a good 4G phone by then & coverage & cost will be much better. Depending on where you live obviously.
Yeah I'm finding it very hard to play on the Skate tbh, runs lovely on my Nex7 but don't have Internet on that so can't really play it lol. Tbh I'm getting very fed up with my Skate now - the devs have done an amazing job with it but it's hardware is just not up to scratch for me now, constantly lagging behind just too much regardless of rom etc. Going to pick up a Nexus 4 when I can, pretty expensive but what you get its peanuts, want a phone that'll last & work well during that time. Planning on keeping my Skate for tinkering purposes when I have the time though. :)
Managed to nab myself an invite :) Will send some your guys way if I get any invites.
Thanks man! Been looking at how to get one for a while lol Wasn't really expecting the Skate to run it very smootly to be honest. EDIT: You can fill this out to be added to a database for invites - no idea likelyhood of getting one is though. its only email address & location (optional) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dE95aVlGd0ZrUzg1Z2FpZDBwV0daT0E6MQ
Ooooh, if you have any invites spare going I'd love to take one of your hands.. ;)
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comLate to the party but.. HQ YouTube is working? Lalit, amazing stuff! Will flash soon, been away from flashing scene for Skate for a while, hoping to jump onto a Nexus 4 when I can :)
Josh92 replied to WiiSky70's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comI think I need to give H3 Blues a whirl, not flashed that yet! I've recently gone from JB to Mokee, I think a mix of those would be my perfect rom, hard to call between them but possibly Mokee. Also, you don't seem to have CFX2, Jelly Bean.
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comYeah you have to flash it seperately with this rom, Pledgedroid posted a link a while back.
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comI've briefly tried sharing to the Nex7 too, doesn't seem to find it on default yet every other device I've tried does fine. Haven't got around to looking into why just yet.
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comJust confirming EXT3 works for me too :)
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comYay :D Okay guess that's the best thing to do. Will do when I get a chance.
Josh92 replied to tilal6991's topic in ZTE Skate - Skate.MoDaCo.comYeah I changed back to a standard ring tone which doesn't work either.

I like the 'like' system, so I'd like that to stay as just being likes, but I also like the 'reputation' system. Is it possible to have both of them active? How would I do it, do I need a mod?
I was also wondering if it would be possible to have an additional two point systems - one that works like a point reward system via posting in admin-specified areas, and another one where admins update them manually per member. The post-reward points system would ideally be used to unlock things (a bit like a premium/elite member but without using real currency), whilst the other one can be used for other things as per competitions set up by the staff. Are there mods for these or is their a way of doing it without mods?

If your Whirlpool dryer does not run when you push the start button or takes too long to run through cycles, you may have a faulty timer. The dryer timer controls the amount of time the dryer components stay in cycles. The timer distributes the power to different controls for set amounts of time. You can perform some Whirlpool electric dryer timer troubleshooting to determine if the timer is faulty or if the cause is somewhere else within the dryer.
Access the Timer
Unplug the Whirlpool dryer power cord from the dryer electrical outlet. The timer is inside the control panel on the top of the dryer. Pull the dryer away from the back wall so that the control console can be raised without hitting the wall.
Remove the single screw on each end of the control console that secures the control console housing to the top of the dryer. Grab the sides of the control console and raise the front of the console up and toward the rear of the dryer. With the control console in the service position you will now be able to test the timer.
Test the Timer
Locate the dryer timer inside the control console. It will be directly behind the dryer timer control knob. There are two wires that connect from the dryer to the dryer timer. Place a piece of masking tape on each wire and write on the tape what terminal each wire attaches. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the wires from the terminal ends on the timer.
Set the scale on a volt-ohm meter to the RX1 setting to measure the ohms of the timer. Place one probe to one terminal and the other probe to the remaining terminal. You should get a reading between 2,000 ohms and 3,000 ohms. If you do not get this reading, replace the timer.
Replacing the Timer
Pull the control knob off of the timer shaft on the face of the control console. Remove the two screws that secure the timer to the inside of the control console. Pull the timer out and take the timer with you to an appliance repair facility. Compare the new timer to the old timer to make sure that the mounting screws match.
Place the new timer inside the console and secure the timer with the two retaining screws. Attach the wires to the timer and remove the masking tape from the wires. Lower the control console and reattach the console to the top of the dryer with the retaining screws. Push the control knob back over the timer shaft. Push the dryer back against the wall and plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.

Report summary
Aboboras is a conventional open cut mine and part of Vale's Vargem Grande complex, ultimately falling under Vale's Southern System operations. The mine is located in Brazil's Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) region and is approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Production at Aboboras commenced in 2006, mining a small reserve of high grade hematite, which sits above a much larger low-grade itabirite deposit.

Governor Jan Brewer has established by Executive Order the Arizona Human Trafficking Council, addressing one of the key priorities highlighted in the governor's 2014 State of the State and policy agenda.
"Human trafficking is a despicable crime affecting some of our most vulnerable citizens and, as a border state facing international and inter-state ports of entry, Arizona is particularly exposed to its harmful effects," said Governor Brewer. "As long as the problem persists, we must undertake every possible action to protect our state and our citizens. In addition to working with state lawmakers to strengthen Arizona trafficking laws, we also must enhance federal, state and local coordination to address and eliminate this atrocity once and for all. This Council -- comprised of Arizona's leading experts in human trafficking and public safety -- will be a significant next step in our critical mission."
In April 2013, Governor Brewer created the Task Force on Human Trafficking. Co-chaired by Cindy McCain and Gil Orrantia, the Task Force was charged with identifying ways to reduce trafficking in Arizona, assist victims and safeguard those most vulnerable. Following months of testimony from more than 16 subject matter experts, members submitted to the governor findings and recommendations for strengthening state human trafficking laws, including increasing protections for victims, fortifying penalties for traffickers and solicitors, and facilitating a better overall statewide response to the crime.
The Arizona Human Trafficking Council will build upon the recommendations of the Governor's Task Force as well as continue to implement best practices; develop a comprehensive and coordinated victims' service plan; evaluate and report to the governor statewide data on human trafficking; promote greater collaboration with law enforcement, state agencies and the community-at-large; and raise public awareness about victims services, restitution and prevention.

Ahoy! I got a new game for ya'll to play.
Take all of the letters of the alphabet, and say the name of the first character that comes to mind. For example:
A - Apple
B - Banana
Assuming there are characters that go by that name.
1. Don't look at the comments before playing! It might make you think of characters you probably wouldn't have.
2. Epithets don't count as part of the name, unless the character has never been referred to otherwise. For example, you can say "Green Apple" because that's how you call a green apple. But you can't say "Arching Banana" because that's what bananas are famous for anyways.
3. English names are allowed. So you can say "Pineapple" just like you can say "Ananas".
4. You're allowed to say just one part of the name. So you can say "Apple" instead of "Green Apple", providing if you're referring to Green Apple, though.
5. Using English or fractions of names does not mean you can say them again. So you can say "Pineapple" or "Ananas". Not both.
6. Non-canon names are allowed.
7. I win the game automatically.
Let's see how truly popular these different characters are; who comes to mind first?

From Mitchell to Annapolis and Beyond: Thoughts on the American Role in Palestinian-Israeli Peacemaking Frederic C. Hof | April 1st 2008
The Sharm el-Sheikh Fact-Finding Committee, a.k.a. the Mitchell Committee, operated from November 2000 until May 2001. It was established by a summit meeting held in Sharm el-Sheikh in October 2000. Its mission was to find out why violence had broken out recently between Palestinians and Israelis and what needed to be done to prevent its recurrence. President Bill Clinton recruited Senator George Mitchell to head the effort. The other members of the committee were former Senator Warren Rudman, the foreign minister of Norway, Thorbjoern Jagland, the European Union high representative for foreign and security policy, Javier Solana, and a former president of Turkey, Suleyman Demirel.
When Senators Mitchell and Rudman publicly unveiled the committee's report in May 2001 it was greeted with near universal acclaim. The report focused on the two major concerns of the respective populations: the view of Israelis that Palestinians would never set aside violence and terror in the pursuit of political objectives; and the view of Palestinians that Israelis would never voluntarily terminate the expanding occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Some two-dozen confidence-building recommendations were offered aimed at setting the stage for a near-term resumption of permanent status negotiations.
Editorial reaction around the world was very positive. The fact that we were publicly attacked only by extreme partisans on both sides reassured us that we had gotten things approximately right. Secretary of State Colin Powell was carried live and at great length on CNN effusively praising the report. President G.W. Bush phoned Senator Mitchell, thanked him for the report and recommendations, and pointedly asked the architect of peace in Northern Ireland not to "retire" his "uniform." Yet there was in fact – as they say in Westerns – "trouble in Dodge."
The first sign of trouble was contained in the official, written responses to the report submitted by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the government of Israel. Both were unstinting in their praise of the fairness, balance and integrity of the effort. Yet it was painfully obvious from the respective statements that what each party truly liked were the findings and recommendations pertaining to the behavior of the other.
There was, for example, no statement from the PLO agreeing that terrorism – the deliberate, violent targeting of noncombatants for political purposes – is always and everywhere evil and inadmissible and that specific steps would be taken to counter it. Likewise, there was no statement from Israel acknowledging the corrosive effects of occupation and acceptance that only a complete freeze of settlement activity could arrest a cancer killing the Oslo process. Indeed, in a letter to Secretary of State Powell dated 7 May, 2001 Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Shimon Peres said, "Being one of the core issues to be dealt with in the future permanent status negotiations, settlements must not be prejudged as a reason for the outbreak of Palestinian violence."
The second sign of trouble was the absence of evidence of any American preparedness – much less planning – to help the parties implement the report's confidence-building recommendations.
Senator Mitchell made it clear to the committee staff that this report – addressed to the president of the United States – would not try to tell the administration what to do next. He believed that lecturing the president was beyond the committee's charter. He was sensitive to the fact that he was a Democrat appointed by a Democratic president. He firmly concluded that he had neither the standing nor the inclination to lecture President Bush on how to do his job.
Senator Mitchell, Senator Rudman, and I did not want the report we wrote to be "dead on arrival" when delivered to the administration. While directing the fact-finding committee's field operations in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, I made sure that the incoming Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage – a former business partner – was kept fully informed of what was going on. When our multinational staff spent much of April 2001 in Washington working on a report text initially drafted by me with major input (on settlements) from Senator Mitchell, my main objective was to ensure that the White House would find our recommendations to be reasonable and implementable.
Sometimes this objective pitted me and my fellow American staffers against our colleagues. The Turkish representatives on the staff, for example, suggested a firm recommendation that Israel evacuate the Gaza Strip. Some of our European colleagues were favorably disposed toward an "international protection force" for the Palestinian territories. I resisted these suggestions out of the belief that they would cause the administration to disown the effort and decline to help implement the confidence-building recommendations.
I even went so far as to share a very late draft of the report with the deputy secretary of state and his key advisors in his office in April 2001. Neither he nor the advisors posed any objections whatsoever; on the contrary, they found the report to be a potentially valuable diplomatic tool. They asked only that a few words inaccurately characterizing official American policy on a settlement freeze be modified. But when the report was finished, I was asked by a State Department colleague to delay its delivery until after the forthcoming visit of Israel's foreign minister. I declined to do so, but this was the first indication of administration nervousness, notwithstanding all of the effort to produce something it could live with.
During the time in-between my delivery of the final report to the State Department on April 30, 2001 and the report's public release some three weeks later, Senator Mitchell spoke by telephone with Secretary Powell. Without being the least bit prescriptive, the senator reminded the secretary that the report would not implement itself; that timing, sequencing and monitoring of confidence-building recommendations were all-important; and that chronic distrust between the parties was such that nothing would happen without a strong American role guiding the process. The secretary's responses were, I am told, cordial and positive. But they were also noncommittal and did not seek to elicit from the senator any ideas on how to do it. A letter dated May 21, 2001 from Secretary Powell to Senator Mitchell contained several phrases which, in retrospect, signaled the administration's reluctance to take the lead:
- "We believe both sides should give serious consideration to the Committee's recommendations and it is in this spirit that we endorse the report."
- "The United States is prepared to work with the international community to support the parties in their efforts to create an environment for peace, but it cannot impose solutions on them. The decisions are theirs to make."
- "With the publication of the final report, the Committee will have fulfilled its mandate, and thereby brought to an end its work. It is now the task of both parties to give serious consideration to the recommendations contained in the report."
In short, there was nothing in the Powell letter conveying either an explicit U.S. endorsement of the recommendations or suggesting the administration's readiness to consult with the parties immediately about their implementation.
I came quickly to the unhappy conclusion relatively soon after the report's release that there had never been any intention on the part of the Bush administration to do any heavy lifting to help the parties implement the report's recommendations.
I think that Secretary Powell's green light to Senator Mitchell days after the inauguration of President Bush to continue and complete the committee's work was deeply resented elsewhere in the administration. I think it may have been seen as confirming the fear of some that Powell would try to monopolize the administration's foreign policy and therefore had to be countered and contained.
Indeed, in early 2001 Senator Mitchell had picked up reports that the office of the vice president had "problems" with the fact-finding committee. He asked me to check it out. The only person I really knew in that office was someone with whom I had interacted in the Pentagon some 12 years earlier, a very conscientious and capable public servant named Scooter Libby. So I called Mr. Libby. When I explained my purpose he said, "My God Fred. You're involved with that?" I asked Mr. Libby what is the problem. Instead of spelling out the "problem" he urged me to meet with a member of his staff.
The staffer had some concerns with things he was hearing about the committee's recommendations. I told him we were a long way from framing recommendations. I also told him that what he was hearing about the committee's lack of balance and objectivity was not accurate and that Senator Mitchell's track record in Northern Ireland ought to be weighed against the rumor mill.
It was a cordial but unsettling conversation. With all of the effort I was making to keep the deputy secretary of state informed, how could the office of the vice president be so uninformed? Surely this all-star cast of foreign policy heavyweights advising the president was bound together in a functioning interagency system. Little did I or anyone else know at the time that this was far from the case.
The implications of this disconnect became clear to me by May and June of 2001. The Department of State, which had the report in its hands by late morning on April 30 and knew essentially what was in it two weeks earlier, did no implementation planning whatsoever. In June 2001 (about a month after the report's public release) I received a call from someone in the Department asking me how I thought the confidence-building recommendations ought to be prioritized and sequenced. By the time George Tenet and General Tony Zinni were dispatched to the region to arrange cease fires it was too late. The wheels were off and seven wasted years set in motion.
Would the parties have cooperated if the administration had done its job? We will never know. The terror bombing of a Tel Aviv disco in June 2001 may well have happened even if President Bush had appointed a special envoy and even if the State Department had done a plan. On the Israeli side sand was thrown in the gears by seizing upon words in the report calling for "a cooling off period" in order to argue – quite inaccurately but very effectively – that this meant there would have to be a period of total peace and quiet before implementing any of the confidence-building recommendations, except of course for those recommendations requiring the Palestinian side to take action.
My personal belief is that a determined, disciplined American effort to help implement the fact-finding committee recommendations might have averted a disastrous worsening of the violence and might have helped put the parties on the path to renewed negotiations. But surely it would have required a special envoy enjoying full presidential backing. It would have required the special envoy's fulltime commitment and a sizeable American staff on the ground. It would have required banging heads together in order to produce a tightly choreographed timing and sequencing scheme: party A will do this by such and such a date and time; party B will immediately do this in response, upon which party A will do such and such. It would have been hard work and politically controversial with no guarantee of success. Indeed, with extremists on both sides determined to obstruct matters, the prospect of success might have been 50-50 at best even if the requisite American effort had been made.
Still, I have no doubt that the political calculus in Washington that produced a hands-off policy was bad for American interests, worse for Israelis and the absolute worst for Palestinians. But in the pre-9/11 months of a new, narrowly elected administration, the decision to let the work of the Mitchell Committee wither and die no doubt seemed sensible to the president and others. Indeed, I am not even sure there was a decision. It was as if the administration thought that Senator Mitchell had done its work for it by finding facts and writing a report. As Secretary Powell said in his thank you letter to Senator Mitchell, "Through its work, the Committee has made an important contribution to the parties in their efforts to find a pathway to peace. On behalf of President Bush and the United States, I thank the entire Committee and the Committee's staff for their extraordinary efforts in the cause of peace." Sadly, the efforts were wasted.
The Annapolis Initiative
After 9/11, throughout the incumbency of Yasser Arafat and following the 2006 electoral triumph of Hamas, the administration employed specific justifications for policies and pronouncements that were essentially words only; initiatives that did not translate into actions beyond the speeches and press conferences where they were articulated.
The Quartet road map sought to recapture and repackage the positive, step-by-step approach of the Mitchell report. Yet the hard work of timing, sequencing and monitoring was again left entirely to parties politically incapable of doing what needed to be done to convince the other side that political risk and painful compromise would actually be rewarded. The road map contained a political horizon absent in the Mitchell report – one reflecting President Bush's explicit endorsement of a Palestinian state. But its impact reminded one of Churchill's famous description of Mussolini: "Big appetite, bad teeth."
Again, there is no way to minimize (from an American perspective) the political risk, unpleasantness and sheer labor-intensive heavy lifting associated with mediation and facilitation in the Arab-Israeli context. Yet I have also encountered officials who reject such a central American role for reasons they say have nothing to do with political risk. I have been told by friends in the U.S. government that a vigorous, across-the-board American effort to monitor, mediate and facilitate would, even if successful, produce "inauthentic" results – that the parties themselves must want agreement badly enough to do virtually all of the heavy lifting without outside prodding, pressure and persuasion. I try hard not to be judgmental on these matters, but in my view this is diplomacy for the lazy; the ideology of the indolent. If we applied the same standard of "authenticity" to Iraq our forces would be out in record time. It is, after all, up to Iraqis to settle their political differences, is it not?
The violent events in Gaza last June helped to persuade Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to organize a new peace initiative, one inaugurated in Annapolis last November. I for one applaud this initiative. Clearly President Bush wants it to work – I see no sign of him distancing himself from it as he did with the road map, permitting the parties for months on end to think and say that the road map was "only" the work of Colin Powell and Kofi Annan. I think that President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sincerely wish to make progress. They have the same motive, and in the context of politics it is as pure as the driven snow: survival. And clearly Secretary Rice is investing the time and frequent flier miles appropriate to the task at hand.
Yet, the Annapolis process is probably fatally flawed. When I look at the Annapolis framework what I see is a structure held up by two cross beams. To keep the structure upright these beams must be mutually reinforcing. If one gives way, so does the other and everything comes down. One of the beams is a negotiating process aimed at producing an agreement on paper by years end. The other is a process of implementing road map commitments beginning with the two key issues illuminated by the Mitchell report: violence and settlements.
But, unless we take Israeli and Palestinian negotiators out of Jerusalem and lock them up in Tierra del Fuego, Timbuktu or Tibet, they and their political masters will be affected – positively or negatively, but decisively – by whatever happens on the ground. If violence persists, if settlements expand and if Israelis and Palestinians see no improvements that they can attribute to the positive actions of the other, how to do we expect negotiators and their political masters to grasp third-rail issues such as refugees and Jerusalem and to resolve them successfully? And if there is no forward movement on the negotiating track, should we really expect the parties to risk taking action in implementing road map obligations? Each beam, if you will, either supports and strengthens or weakens and ultimately brings down the other.
I know that many Palestinians think that it is all a smoke screen anyway: that Israel has no real interest in mitigating the occupation and seeing a sustainable, sovereign and successful Palestinian state emerge. I know that many Israelis think that Palestinians will never truly accept a Jewish state and will always pray for the day when they have an upper hand. I know from experience that each side points the finger at the other and says, in essence, "Prove to us you are serious by taking actions that redress our fundamental fears and grievances and do it because it is right, not because you will get something in return."
I am not convinced. I can see an Israeli prime minister who would like to keep his job. I can see him deciding not to confront Jewish settlers and not to deny building permits in occupied territory while explosives fall on Sderot. Indeed, I can see him declining to move against fellow Jews in even the most egregious of the outpost settlements so long as he cannot credibly cite – as Menachem Begin was able to do when he evacuated Yamit in 1982 – a worthy and trusted Arab beneficiary of the action. I can understand why a Palestinian Authority president – someone no less sensitive to the views of voters than his Israeli counterpart – might not wish to take actions or make gestures reassuring to Israelis while checkpoints choke his constituents and Israeli soldiers and pilots operate in environments that almost inevitably produce noncombatant deaths.
So as we watch these Annapolis cross beams buckle and shake, perhaps we need to ask ourselves as Americans what we are doing to reinforce the structure. It is all well and good to tell others to set aside politics as usual. Yet it ill behooves the world's only superpower to lecture men and woman trying to stay upright in very rickety political systems about leadership and risk taking when we stay comfortably at arm's length, offering Dutch Uncle advice while implying it's really not, at the end of the day, our problem.
Yet it is our problem. Bringing an end to the Arab-Israeli dispute in all of its dimensions is a fundamental American national security interest. I think the Bush administration has finally accepted this view. Yet I am afraid that there are conceptual and procedural problems that, unless solved, will make it difficult for the administration to bequeath to its successor an Annapolis process that is on track.
The Problem of Hamas
The obvious problem on which the world is focused is Gaza. There can be no substantial progress on road map implementation until the Israel-Gaza front is pacified. Pacification can be pursued principally through military means or mainly by negotiation. I prefer the latter because I believe the former to be unachievable at a cost acceptable to anyone.
The question I would pose is this: is it possible to explore a negotiated end to violence on the Gaza front so long as the U.S. views Hamas entirely and exclusively through the optic of the global war on terrorism? If we define Hamas as part of a global problem involving violent forms of political Islam – i.e. Al-Qaeda – instead of seeing it in its Palestinian-Israeli context, can we be part of the solution? Or have we inadvertently guaranteed that the Annapolis process will go nowhere? If Hamas cannot be beaten military at an acceptable price and if there is to be no effort to bring it into the Annapolis process, then what is there to do beyond watching one Annapolis beam drag down the other?
I do not know if Hamas wants in, or can be brought in. But Hamas must be removed from the global war on terrorism context and put back where it belongs, in the Palestinian-Israeli context, if we are to do the necessary diplomatic due diligence. We could certainly support those in the governments of Israel and Egypt who support seeking a sustainable cease fire, even though such a cease fire would inevitably relax the economic blockade that has been in place since Hamas neutralized Fatah last summer. We could explore, perhaps with Saudi Arabia and Egypt taking the lead, what it would take for Hamas to join the rest of the Arab world in endorsing the Arab Peace Initiative. We could explore with Israel and the Palestinian side whether a Hamas endorsement of this vital initiative – combined with a willingness to stop violence and respect past agreements – might admit the organization to the Annapolis process as part of a restored Palestinian unity government.
Would President Bush authorize and direct such a due diligence process? Certainly not if he is content simply to consign Hamas to the hell occupied by Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and others with whom there is simply nothing to negotiate. While I would not call at this stage for direct American diplomatic contacts with Hamas – and obviously none of our presidential candidates will do so either – we have friends in the region quite capable of determining if this organization is interested in offering its constituents conflict without end or something more attractive. Regardless of what Hamas may choose I would not want our president to stand helplessly on the sideline watching the Annapolis structure implode simply because he equated this admittedly troublesome and bloody-minded organization with the cave dwellers of Waziristan or saw it as merely a pliant tool in the hands of Iran.
Absent the creation of an operational environment conducive to road map implementation and given an arm's length stance of the U.S., there can in my view be no substantial progress toward a negotiated agreement. There is not enough money in the world to rain down upon the head of Salam Fayyad to create this environment. No amount of urging, cajoling and arm-twisting by a secretary of state can undo the physics of political gravity. When noncombatants are killed in a Yeshiva, building permits in occupied territory will be issued to signal Israeli outrage and defiance for political purposes. When Palestinian noncombatants are killed in the course of military operations in urban areas, negotiations will be suspended and harsh words spoken for political purposes. The fact that the purposes are political does not mean that they are artificial, illegitimate or cover-ups for deeper and darker purposes. Political leaders enjoy staying in office and they work hard to maintain majorities and preserve coalitions. If we decide not to share in the risk – if we cannot help an Israeli prime minister take the heat or offer a Palestinian prime minister a real political horizon – then we should not be surprised when Israeli and Palestinian politics as usual brings the Annapolis process down onto our heads.
Reinforcing the Annapolis Process
I believe that road map implementation – even if restricted for the near-term to ameliorating security and economic conditions in the West Bank and Jerusalem – is a fulltime job requiring a fulltime, dedicated leader and staff with all hands on the ground and moving around. Likewise, the important strategic overview mission assigned to General Jim Jones requires a fulltime, adequately staffed effort. One would have hoped that the important position of Quartet representative assigned to Prime Minister Blair would have been defined as a fulltime endeavor with rigorous performance standards and accountability. I am at a loss to understand why these are all part-time jobs.
I personally do not know whether the two-state option is alive or dead. I see merit in analytical judgments that reach opposite conclusions on this question. What I believe as an American is that we must act as if the two-state option is alive until it becomes crystal clear that it is dead. To bring it about, however, we need to involve ourselves much more seriously and diligently than we have heretofore.
If the administration desires a written agreement to be produced by year's end in spite of ongoing conflict and chaos, I think serious consideration should be given to proceeding on the basis of an American text. This would mean that the parties would be negotiating with us as well as one another. This would mean that someone within the administration would have to organize and direct the drafting of an American text. This would mean debate, dissent and disruption within the administration over words and even punctuation.
Yet surely even within the administration the notion has taken hold that the parameters and contours of the eventual two-state agreement are already fundamentally known – the problem is getting from here to there. From the Clinton parameters, to Ayalon-Nusseibeh to Geneva there is no shortage of ideas and language from which to draw. Admittedly this is a tricky proposition. One wants enough detail to get beyond a bland statement of agreed principles. But one also would want the parties to wrestle, albeit with our help, with practical details of implementation.
If we and the parties decide that suppressing violence, removing outposts, relaxing checkpoints and freezing settlement construction are all too hard to do, then a written agreement covering all of the core issues by the end of this year will not happen unless the U.S. takes over the process lock, stock and barrel. Even then it might not happen if we insist on giving Hamas the veto or if Hamas exercises it in spite of all efforts to bring it inside the tent. But to pretend that the parties have the wherewithal to get it done in a conference room while all hell is breaking loose outside is to commission a Potemkin process and to drive a stake into the heart of the two-state option.
If in the end the current administration finds it distasteful to play a more central role in these proceedings, I certainly hope that the next president – Democrat or Republican – will try something different. Given that it takes time for an incoming administration to find its "sea legs" on matters of foreign policy, one approach might be to commission someone with the prestige of a George Mitchell to undertake 60 or 90 days of intensive consultations with the parties and a wide range of experts and produce an agreement text that would form the basis of the U.S. government view of what a sustainable two-state solution would look like. If acceptable to the new president, this text would be the basis of concentrated American mediation starting perhaps this time next year.
I am aware of the political risks and unpleasantness associated with American diplomatic activism in the Arab-Israeli context. I am aware that American presidents have other policy priorities and objectives, both foreign and domestic. Without a comprehensive diplomatic strategy featuring a central American role involving the power and prestige of the presidency, we are choosing a one-state outcome; we are saying "No" to the prospects of a Jewish democracy and "No" to the birth of a sovereign Palestinian state.

Stone Temple Pilots
- When you first heard Stone Temple Pilots: 1993's octuple-platinum Core, with its Grammy-winning hit "Plush"
- How they developed their stadium grunge: tracks on their followup, Purple, got tighter ("Vasoline"), more epic ("Interstate Love Song"), and more melancholy ("Big Empty")
- What the rest of the '90s held for the Pilots: a surprising shift toward psychedelic and glam rock in Tiny Music . . . Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop
- How they started the new millennium: with Shangri-La Dee Da, a janglier jaunt through deceptively upbeat tunes such as "Days of the Week" and "Too Cool Queenie"
- How they spent the next 10 years: the Pilots entered radio silence, then grabbed their guitars, re-Sharpied their tattoos, and reunited for their self-titled comeback, an album that shot to No. 2 on the Billboard 200
- The biggest change to the lineup: in 2013, Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington permanently took over as lead singer; his powerhouse vocals can be heard on the single "Black Heart"

Located in the small town of Southborough, just a couple of miles outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells, The Imperial is close to many of Kent's attractive houses, castle and gardens.
The pub dates from the Victorian era and its unusual name derives from the Imperial crown, as pictured on the sign, worn by the monarch at the coronation ceremony. Interestingly, previous signs have shown a fine specimen of the imperial butterfly.
The pub is quickly becoming well known for its exquisite Italian food. Everything on the menu is freshly prepared, lovingly homemade and designed to offer customers a true flavour of Italy, with a mouth-watering selection of dishes made to traditional recipes.
On the bar, you will find a range of Shepherd Neame cask ales, as well as an excellent wine list, and all the usual aperitifs, soft drinks, and coffees.
A small function room can be hired for private parties and events, suitable for up to thirty people, and outside there is a pleasant little enclosed garden with seating and tables.

"A quality healthcare provider"
About: Halton Hospital Halton Hospital Runcorn WA7 2DA
Posted by David Percival
I have only been treated in hospital on a very few occasions, thankfully, but this visit to Halton was the best I have experienced and that includes a private hospital. From the moment I arrived I was treated with kindness and respect from a very professional group of people. Everyone concerned with my treatment introduced themselves and explained in great detail what was going to happen during my stay. My surgeon spent time with me after the operation to provide me with guidance as to how to deal with everyday matters after surgery. He was excellent as were his team in the operating theatre. They were both kind and humorous and put me completely at ease ahead of the procedure. After the operation, my nurses checked on me every 30 minutes or so and went to great lengths to make sure I was comfortable and free of pain. In the event, I had no pain whatsoever and have not experienced any on the week following my operation. I was in and out the same day and I have felt really well in the week following. The whole atmosphere in the hospital and in my ward was one of calm and quiet and efficient care, exactly what is needed for patient well being. At a time when the media appear to gloat every time that someone points finger at the NHS for mistakes that occur, I feel it is time that someone highlighted the hundreds of thousands of procedures that go well and where the patient has a healthy outcome. The good far outweighs the unfortunate and makes the NHS an organisation to be proud of and one that is still the envy of the world. Thank you Halton for taking care of me.

Thanks for your feedback David. We try and make every experience the best it can be for our patients so it's great to read that you got great care from arrival to after your surgery.

Oh my…Malia Obama was caught having a life again. This time, it was a house party in Philadelphia where — surprise, surprise — young adults were seen in the same room as a water bong. No, Malia wasn't caught smoking the bong. Yes, small amounts of pot have been decriminalized for legal adults in the city anyway. No, there's nothing to see here:
There's nothing to see unless you're a conservative douchebag, that is. If you're like me, you're thinking, "what an asshole her "friend" is for snapping that shot. Leave the poor young woman alone." If you're a conservative, you're thinking, "What is that black girl doing bringing a bong to a party full of nice, white kids. Hood rat."
Think I'm kidding? Check out some of the comments on a conservative page telling the story of how "common hood rat" Malia Obama was "caught smoking pot AND WE HAZ THE PROOFZ!!!"
They sure do know how to put something completely benign and insignificant into perspective, don't they? They must have been busy burning Colin Kaepernick jerseys to read the memo on how little anyone cares about racist imbeciles.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The vineyards utilized for this unique Cabernet are Gerlach Hammond, Perata, Rocca, and Villa Amorosa; vineyards typically used in the final blends of our Il Barone Cabernet Sauvignon and La Castellana Super Tuscan Blend.
Production Notes
Quattro is the result of the winemaker's instinct, quick thinking, and a little bit of luck. On October 15, 2012, after harvesting Cabernet Sauvignon from 4 of the Castello's top vineyards, a small quantity from each was left over due to the 4 intended fermentation vessels coming full. Knowing that the fruit was all of great quality, he decided to ferment the leftovers together in a single small tank. Upon tasting the wine just as the fermentation was finishing up, we knew something special had occurred, and we proclaimed that the "Quattro" warranted a unique bottling. No blending has been done with this wine since that fateful day the grapes were plucked from the 4 distinct vineyard sites from across the Napa Valley.
Winemaker Notes
2012 will be a vintage to remember. Near perfect weather conditions resulted in a rare combination of high quality fruit and an abundant crop load. 2012 promises to be truly exceptional; with wines of well-structured tannins, rich concentration, and developed aromatics defining the vintage.—Brooks Painter, Director of Winemaking
726 cases produced.

This was my first tasting of Quattro. I ordered the wine after receiving an email and reading about it. The story IOC how it came to be is as interesting as the taste. Quattro is a complex and full bodied cab. I am glad o ordered extra!

I'm ready to pop the question, got the ring for her and everything but I just can't decide how I'm going to ask her - its gotta be original but just about everything has been done is too damn cheesey!

I don't know how you're going to propose but here's your wedding cake ^_^
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:48 UTC
I couldn't come up with anything fast enough for me so i just asked her which worked out great but since then i have seen a few really great ones. Just yesterday watching an episode of cakeboss they had him make a cake that popped the question and the guy brought the girl into the baker and pointed at the cake saying "what do you think of this one?" it was fun and i am sure tons of bakeries would do this just for the joy of it.
Oh and the Mario game proposal was freakin awesome.
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:49 UTC
I think I might propose to that cake!!
I did the deed on a beach in Spain at dusk, nothing like a bit Edam when you're proposing! It worked though she said yes
Let us know how you get on!?
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:50 UTC
It depends on your relationship. My wife and I were very spontaneous about everything when we were dating. So one day I just turned to her and said, "You want to get married?" She got all wide eyed and silent for a second and then said, "Yeah!"
So that's my story, do what feels natural.
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:51 UTC
What are her interests? What's important to her? I proposed to my wife in front of the entire church at our annual picnic--she grew up in that church and considers many of them to be family. It meant a lot to her.
One of my sisters-in-law was proposed to in the chapel of a local botanical gardens; the other was proposed to at the base of the Eiffel Tower while on vacation.
If you ask 20 people, you're going to get 60 different answers on the "right" way to do it. What's important is that it means a lot to both of you.
Congratulations, by the way! :-)
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:54 UTC
she knows its coming, so I've gotta kind of catch her by suprise
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:54 UTC
Do you want it to be public, or intimate? My wife and I are shy so I ruled out anything too public. I just put the ring in a box when we had our little private Christmas gift opening. She was still surprised, but we were alone.
Oct 22, 2010 at 7:55 UTC
Ha! get one of those scare clips that everyone has seen and "cut" at the scary part... then add a video recording of yourself on one knee in a great place like a garden asking if she will marry you. In it's entire she will expect to see something scary pop out at her and *POW*, emotions in your favor :) !
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:04 UTC
can't be in public or on a holiday ie christmas or birthday, I might try it where I first met her...but that means she'd be at work
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:05 UTC
she knows its coming, so I've gotta kind of catch her by suprise
We had to go to the bank just before we left to go on holiday, the woman in the bank asked me to go through recent transactions so I had to sit there in front of my wife and say that I had spent an amount of money in a jewellers, she knew it was coming but she still looked surprised when I asked....or maybe she's just a good actress??
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:08 UTC
I hid mine in my student loans--I requested more than my tuition, and used the refund to purchase the ring. That way there are no jeweler's receipts on my bank statement!
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:11 UTC
I proposed to my wife on April fool's day. We are both not for the big time proposals so I proposed in a random place on our college campus. Best part was she knew it was coming but didn't know I had gotten a ring (her original intent was to pick one out after the proposal). So I handed her a ring made from twist tie and proposed. After she said yes I offered her a trade for the real ring, that's when she got speechless.
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:35 UTC
You should find a location that has some meaning for the two of you, maybe the place you met, or the site of a memorable date, etc.
I asked my wife to marry me about a year to the day after we first met, we were balloon crewing together from the same event where we met. The balloon landed, and we were getting it down and packed away when I proposed. How did I put it? Something along the lines of "We met balloon chasing, and 12 months later we are still chasing. How would you like to stop chasing?" Of course her response was "Are you serious?" at which point I missed my chance to get out of the deal, but she quickly followed up with "yes".
We picked a ring out together and I gave that to her at the restaurant where we had our first date.
EDIT: Everything has been done before but you can still make it special for her. We have had several couples propose either in the hot air balloon or when it landed. I guarantee that they will never forget that, well except, maybe, for the lady that asked how big the diamond was before she said yes. Hmmm.
Also seen proposals done on the scoreboard at local minor league ballclub and via banner from an airplane at the shore.
One guy I work with was shopping for a ring and the jeweller approached him with a way to propose. The jeweller took out a full size billboard with a picture of the ring and "<fiancee's name> will you marry me?" - <his name>, and then he contrived to drive past the billboard. Amazing way to propose, have to be willing to appear in the newspaper, though.
Oct 22, 2010 at 8:43 UTC
Just don't do something like put the ring in desert or such. Invarably she'll swallow it, choke on it, or chip a tooth, and where's the romance in that.
I proposed to my wife of almost 20 years the old fashioned way, a rose, the ring, on the front porch, and on one knee.
Oct 22, 2010 at 9:15 UTC
I hacked into my girlfriends facebook & then changed her status to single. When she logged in next i pointed it out to her. I started a little arugement over it then asked her why she hasnt changed it to engaged. She responded because i dont have a ring and because i havnt been purposed to. Then I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. SHE SAID YES :D

A friend of mine proposed to her boyfriend (last leap year) in the middle of Morcambe Bay. It was during a 6 mile guided walk across the shifting sands and through a river, and only occurs a few times of the year, subject to tides, weather and the quick sand locations.
Oct 22, 2010 at 9:48 UTC
You could put the ring on your key-ring, and put them in a fairly obvious spot. Then frantically tell her you've lost your keys and need help finding them. Let her find the keys and notice the ring. You can then take them off and propose with some line about the key to your heart.
Oct 22, 2010 at 10:05 UTC
can't be in public or on a holiday ie christmas or birthday, I might try it where I first met her...but that means she'd be at work
Show up at work one day un-expectantly without any notice and tell her you've got something important that you need her blessing on. When she gets all big eyed and you've got her attention and possibly a few co-workers' attention, get on one knee and say I would like your blessing to spend the rest of my life with you.
Congrats on the engagement!
Oct 22, 2010 at 10:40 UTC
I did it in the gardens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Ironically, it was set up for a wedding that had occurred early in the afternoon! My gf new I would do it soon but didn't think that it would happen that night. I knew exactly where I wanted to do it. Led her to that bench, and stalled for a few minutes to work up the courage. Finally it started to sprinkle lightly and she said we should get inside. I told her I better do something first, reached into my pocket, got down on one knee, and pulled out the ring. Then we sat in the rain for a little bit longer. I don't think it matters where or how you do it. It will always be special. The picture is the setting where we got engaged. I think it was taken just before I asked her. She was wondering why I was taking pictures of the place.
Oct 22, 2010 at 10:50 UTC
Awesome, congratulations!
Oct 22, 2010 at 11:00 UTC
Also congrats!! Don't be a cheap ass on the ring or you will never hear the end of it.
Oct 22, 2010 at 11:03 UTC

I'd get a nice engagement ring but I'd spend the $$ on the wedding ring.
