AMHERST — Depending what side you were on, it was a wacky way to win or lose the opener.
Elyria survived four turnovers, 89 yards in penalties and the first ejection of coach Kevin Fell's Hall of Fame career to get past Amherst 28-25 in non-conference play Friday.
"I apologized to the kids for what happened," said Fell, who was tossed after Elyria's bench was warned and then flagged for a sideline violation. "The last thing I told them was let the defense win the game for us, and they did.
"They threw me out of the stadium. They didn't say I couldn't watch. I was proud of our kids for fighting back. The defense dug in and bailed us out."
Fell wasn't sure why he was kicked out other than the officials heard someone on the Pioneers sideline say something that was over the top. Fell will have to sit out next week's game at Elyria Catholic.
Amherst had the lead at halftime, 17-14, but it could have been larger.
Justin Mott picked off Elyria's Hunter Parsh and returned the interception 76 yards for Amherst's first score with 6:26 left in the first quarter. Parsh threw two other interceptions — both to Nathan Nunez — in the first half and the Comets cashed in on both. Amherst's Derek Eibon ran 15 yards for a score and Jared Sciarrotta kicked a
28-yard field goal to give the Comets the lead at halftime.
"I thought our defense played outstanding," Amherst coach Chad DiFranco said. "That's a really talented offense and we had them on their heels. We were playing lights-out. We just never got into a rhythm offensively."
At halftime, Elyria had outgained the Comets 270-66 and had a 14-2 edge in first downs. But Amherst had the turnovers and took advantage of 54 yards in penalties.
The Pioneers appeared to have the game in hand when Jordan Connell added two more scores to put Elyria in front 28-17 with 8:45 to play, but another turnover — this one a Connell fumble — gave life to Amherst.
With starting quarterback Anthony Eliopoulos knocked out of the game, backup Matt Kneisel rallied the Comets to another score and 2-point conversion to pull within the final score with 1:25 to play. But the onside kick was recovered by junior Brad Schneider and Elyria hung on to win.
Connell earned every one of his 132 yards on the ground against a stubborn Amherst defense that refused to wilt in the heat of the night. Connell scored all four of Elyria's touchdowns.
"We didn't practice good at all this week," said Connell, whose sidekick, senior Jumarr Lewis, left the game early with a back injury. "We had to dig deep inside to come up with the win."
"We didn't know we would lose Jumarr right off the bat," Fell said of his four-year starting tailback. "We didn't play very well, but we were able to hang in there and win."
Parsh threw for 267 yards and Elyria tacked on 172 on the ground. Senior Tavon Kurtz led the receivers with eight catches and 109 yards and Schneider and Eric Eisom turned in good efforts as well.
Amherst totaled just 139 yards, thanks to an outstanding effort by the Pioneers defense led by All-Ohio linebacker Conner Kamczyc, a former Amherst resident.
"I tried to keep everybody positive," said Kamczyc, who was all over the field making tackles. "We were like this last year (against Amherst). It was close at halftime. We came back and did our thing. We didn't play like we know how to, but at least we came up with the win."
What was it? When Elyria's Connell raced 18 yards for a score with 4:03 still to play in the first half, fans had to be confused. It took the referees a good five minutes to sort out just how to penalize the Pioneers 15 yards for a dead-ball conduct penalty. Connell's touchdown stood and the 15 yards were taken on the ensuing kickoff.

Californians reduced the amount of trash sent to landfills to a record low last year, according to new figures from the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery.
State residents and businesses together discarded an average of 4.3 pounds of garbage per day, which is down from 4.4 pounds per person in 2011, according to U-T San Diego ( http://bit.ly/15PjZ4m ).
By comparison, the state used to dump more than 8 pounds per person a day in 1989, the year the state's Integrated Waste Management Act went into effect, U-T-San Diego reports.
The average is calculated by dividing the state's total trash disposal - 29.3 million tons in 2012 - by the state's population of 37.7 million that year.
In part, curbside recycling programs and less consumption are being credited with the decline.
However, the collapse of the housing bubble in 2007 also meant less construction and less waste produced as a result.
"As the economy slowed, you had less consumption, less construction, or less waste produced," Mark Oldfield, spokesman for the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, told the newspaper. "One of the challenges moving forward will be, as the economy continues to improve, how do we continue the strides we've taken while reducing greater amounts of waste?"
Organic waste, like food scraps and lawn trimmings, make up most of the state's waste. For that reason, large-scale composting will be a high priority in coming years.
Major cities, including Seattle and San Francisco, already have city-wide composting programs for residents.

Matrix Service Company (MTRX) provides infrastructure services to the oil and gas industry, and the stock currently trades at about half of its precrisis price while having the highest backlog in the company's history and just as much revenue, providing an opportunity to investors, says Greg Roeder, Co-Portfolio Manager at Adirondack Research & Management, Inc.
"[MTRX] is a company with a debt-free balance sheet and $1.50 per share in cash. They are in a space, which we believe has good long-term growth potential. We like this space because there has been a huge amount of spending recently to find oil and gas in North America. When they find these fossil fuels, they're going to need to move and store them," Roeder said.
Roeder says MRTX builds and repairs fuel-storage tanks, does refinery work and works on the electrical grid, providing essential services to the oil and gas industry. Roeder also says trends in the integrated oil companies may benefit MTRX as they shed assets and the new buyers look to acquire Matrix Service Company's services.
"The trend we find really interesting is that the integrated oil companies have been selling assets. They either are selling their refineries to pure-play refinery companies or they're selling their gathering and storage assets to master limited partnerships. The companies buying these assets are more focused on improving the performance and quality of the assets, which we believe will bode well for companies like Matrix Service," Roeder said.

Although Attorney Jill Mann had originally banned a question and answer period during Monday night's informational meeting about a proposed sober, spiritual retreat in Topsfield, 116 Boston Street, saying questions would be answered individually through email later on, angry Topsfield residents demanded to have their voices heard then and there.
Although Attorney Jill Mann had originally banned a question and answer period during Monday night's informational meeting about a proposed sober, spiritual retreat in Topsfield, 116 Boston Street, saying questions would be answered individually through email later on, angry Topsfield residents demanded to have their voices heard then and there.
One man observed that the format Mann tried to use to answer questions made it appear like she and project directors David Ray and Ari Nikolaou were monitoring the questions.
After hearing what she called "conflicting" information that night, Terri Lee Carabillo of Topsfield asked that an online forum be established where residents could submit questions and read responses to other people's questions. Carabillo told Mann she had heard one report that between 12 and 14 guests would be at the house, then another report of no more than 12. It was confirmed Monday night that no more than 12 guests would stay at the house at a time.
Residents were worried that Ray and Nikolaou would change their minds and build more buildings on the property. Carabillo pointed out that the directors could change their minds to add more buildings in the future and amend the special permit, but the directors confirmed that they like the property how it stands and they have no plans to make big changes.
Jeanine Cunniff of Topsfield expressed her concern that sober guests at Cross Keys might be supplied with drugs by people from the Nike Village mental health facility. She said the close proximity of the Nike Village community could potentially promote cross contact between the two facilities.
Nikolaou said there are group homes nearby their treatment facilities in Wakefield and it has never been an issue before. One of the Number 16 residences is located across the street from town hall and the other is across the street from a middle school. The managers said that guests are banned from communication with anyone outside the retreat so cross contact should not be an issue.
Someone asked what would happen if a guest walked off the property. Nikolaou said it has never happened in Wakefield, as they have 12 cameras set up around the facility, which is staffed 24 hours a day.
The managers told the audience at the beginning of the meeting that guests go through an intensive screening process before they are selected, so one woman asked them to elaborate on what specifically guests are screened for. Ray said they run a criminal background check and social psychiatric history on each guest that applies. Certain criminal behaviors are not permitted at their housing, such as those who have been charged and/or convicted as sex offenders, arsonists and other violent crimes. He said men who have a record of driving under the influence are the perfect candidates for their facilities because it keeps them off the roads.
Ray said most residents have a non-violent misdemeanor history.
When one woman asked what economic value this facility will bring to the town other than property taxes, Ray told her that guests will need supplies from local grocery and hardware stores, to which the crowd yelled that there is no grocery store in Topsfield.
After the meeting the audience gathered in small groups to discuss their thoughts, and one group who wished to remain anonymous said this project was already a done deal and that residents didn't have a choice.
"Addicts don't recover in two to four weeks," said one Topsfield man. "It's not the right place for this."

Yesterday, on National Voter Registration Day, in New York City and at hundreds of events around the country, League members reminded Americans that every election is important and that voter registration deadlines are rapidly approaching.
Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to attend a panel on the Democracy Restoration Act (DRA), a bill that would allow those released from prison, a group currently disenfranchised in many states, to regain their right to vote in federal elections.
Like the Florida League, Leagues across the country are seeking solutions to the issue of redistricting and gerrymandered Congressional districts.
Preliminary results of our high school voter registration project show that we helped register thousands of young people to vote this spring! Here are six major takeaways that have us excited about young voters.

Week-long keggers at Griff's are nice, of course. But they just don't throw St. Patrick's Day parties like they used to.
Fifty years ago, March 17 marked the grand opening of wildcatter-turned-millionaire-oilman Glenn McCarthy's Shamrock Hotel, an homage to green, the color of money. Movie stars such as Erroll Flynn, Pat O'Brien, Sonja Henie and Kirk Douglas rode from Hollywood to Houston on a special train. Hoop skirts crowded the hallways. Champagne corks hit important people in the head. A gang of Rice University students (who bribed their way in through the kitchen) caused musical chairs at the seated dinner. And Dorothy Lamour's national radio show, broadcasting from the Emerald Room, got so loud and foulmouthed that it was pulled off the air and poor Dorothy cried. Needless to say, everyone was drunk -- but not drunk like we get drunk today. They were, as one reporter described it, "beautifully drunk."
The party cost $1.5 million, but the ostentatious hotel itself cost $21 million. Here's an idea of how much money that was in 1949: A double (or twin) room cost only $8 to $18 a night and had the very exclusive amenities of air-conditioning and television. The swimming pool was so big the hotel could, and did, give waterskiing demonstrations.
Sadly, the boom days didn't last. When McCarthy hit financial trouble, he sold the Shamrock to Hilton. In 1986 Hilton sold/gave the hotel to the Texas Medical Center for $14.9 million and a huge tax write-off. The TMC then tore it down in favor of those strange columns of water that now occupy the corner of Main and Holcombe.

But the Shamrock did not go gently. There were the proposals for meeting the new fire codes and turning it into a Ronald McDonald House. There was the St. Patrick's Day parade/protest where sentimentalists wore T-shirts that said, "Tearing Down the Shamrock Would Be Like Tearing Down the Alamo." There was the giant garage sale that got rid of everything that could be carried away. There was the fire in its basement as it was coming down.
This St. Patrick's Day, you can do what the party's name urges: "Remember the Shamrock!" at the still-standing Grand Ballroom, now known as the Edwin Hornberger Center.
-- Lauren Kern
The 50th anniversary of the Shamrock Hotel is Wed., Mar. 17, 4 p.m.-midnight. 6900 Main. $10.

What in the fuck has happened to things in the death metal world after the year 2000?! It seems that the art of death metal has gone astray in the wrong direction. Many people think that death metal must always be "brutal" or just include illegible growling that not even linguistic scholars can interpret.
It's around this time that we see a branch of a style of death metal that, all of a sudden, became popularized among extreme fans. The fusion of death/black metal had become a match made in heaven (or hell?) up to this point even though this art has been created years ago (Blasphemy, Belphegor, and so on.) Many bands today incorporate more of a death aspect to their music than black metal while others have a smooth blend of both styles... in this case, Zyklon seems to have perfected this art. Zyklon are a more industrialized outfit as opposed to other death/black bands like Behemoth. They play what many people may call today "extreme modern metal" and there really is no other way to better describe this tornado's sound.
This was my introduction to this band and it's left quite the impression on me. Well, after hearing that ex members of Emperor play in this band ("Zamoth" and Trym,) I couldn't help but buy a brand new copy of this CD (and knowing myself, I only usually buy used CD's.) I still have a great appreciation for this CD even though I don't play it every day... and there's a reason I don't play it every day.
This really is a great CD, but it seems pretty bland after some few plays and a good few skip able tracks. It isn't as bland as their last album, "World Ov Worms" (and holy hell did that CD really reek of bland constant blast beating) but "Aeon" has a level of blandness after a few listens. The production is flawless; it's very crisp clear that leaves room for all the instruments (and sound effects) to bleed out of the speakers. The lyrics are really outstanding as well. Bard "Faust" has written some great philosophical lyrics for Zyklon and remains as a stand out element of this CD. So the real problem doesn't lie in the production or lyrical content, but the problem is in the actual music.
They make extreme music as I said before, and it's pretty overwhelming on some tracks. "Psyklon Aeon" demonstrates the insanity this band possesses with its perfect display of black metal fused with industrialized death metal. It progresses, shifting from death growls to black growls and some spoken-like singing. The solo in this song is monstrous as the song itself is an endless monstrous apocalyptic song. "Core Solution" then displays a mid-Morbid Angel riff style of playing with slow but deep guitar riffs over mastodon double bassing drums. This song has a more industrial touch to it with its howling use of sound and noise throughout the riffs. "Subtle Manipulation" returns to an apocalyptic sound with a death metal riff which opens the song. After the short intro, it turns into a black metal assault with blast beats galore and somehow transforms back into a death metal-style song. Other songs, like "The Prophetic Method" has a really infectious, catchy death metal style riffs playing throughout the song and a great solo that leaves your hair standing on your arms! On a different note, such a song like "An Ecletric Manner" slows things down in terms of extremeness and is more atmospheric than anything on this album. This features LZR on samples (of Red Harvest) and his sample work on this track is well done. The vocal style is deathish but has those spoken-style vocals.
For the most part, the tracks on this CD are filled with madness, but some tracks somehow don't seem to appeal as interesting. I'm all for those slow extreme style songs like "Core Solution" but "Two Thousand Years" is awfully repetitive and has no climax. It's not exciting to listen to nor is it as extreme as any other song that was previous of it. "No Names Above The Names," as the song ironically implies with it's chosen title, is repetitive with an overload of extremeness (or what I would like to call bland extremeness.) Any other track I didn't mention are redundant as these tracks mentioned.
If I would say so myself, this is a waaaaaay better release than "World Ov Worms" because it has more diversity and an accessible sound (aka not boring.) "Aeon" indeed is the future of extreme sounding death metal and extreme metal in general. If you're looking for some good death/black metal with a unique industrial touch, then check out this release by Zyklon and disregard the existence of their debut release. This is the Zyklon sound and this is the sound of future madness.
Ear Candy: Psyklon Aeon, Core Solution, Subtle Manipulation, The Prophetic Method, An Eclectic Manner.

This is a road near Free Soil and can you imagine coming onto this break in the road at night? You'd better make like the A-Team and get ready for a running start to jimp it or you'll wind up like this car near Ludington-
This car didn't make the leap of faith and wound up at the bottom of the hole. Can you imagine the sheer horror of driving into nothingness for those precious few seconds? Better have your seat belt working that morning! I wonder if the driver was able to walk away from that?
In this photograph, the road on US 31 near Manistee just washed away due to the heavy rain of June 8. In fact it caused a 72 mile detour on a road that usually took only twenty miles to bridge the distance between Scottville and Manistee.
The temporary detour lasted for about two to three weeks because this was not the only portion of US 31 that washed away that weekend. The Michigan Department of Transportation was kept busy for weeks repairing road or fixing those gaping holes in roadways throughout the area.
Tomorrow, I will bring this series to a close with some pictures of what the Ludington area itself looked like after this storm.

Another Look at Long-Run Money Demand
This paper investigates the long-run demand for M1 in the postwar United States. Previous studies, based on data ending in the late 1980's, are inconclusive about the parameters of postwar money demand. This paper obtains precise estimates of these parameters by extending the data through 1996. The income elasticity of money demand is approximately 0.5, and the interest semi-elasticity is approximately -0.05. These parameters are significantly smaller in absolute value than the corresponding parameters for the prewar period.

Here is a Canon 10-22 WA lens going in a Side Pocket,it gets lost in there.
Here is a Canon 24-70 F2.8L going into the side pocket,still no trouble.
Here is the whole load and a full size flash inside.
None of these shots have any gear in the other side pocket or the huge bottom pocket.
Also I could still get an iPad or Macbook Air in the main compartment behind or in front of the insert or both!
I could still get my Canon 17-55 F2.8 in there too but I was using it to take these shots on my 7D which would also go in if needed.
Notice also that the insert with gear only fills the main compartment to about 1/2 way to the top and a lot more can still go in.
Admittedly this is getting heavy and a little unwieldy and it also wants to fall forward at times depending on what is loaded where but overall I am satisfied that I can start to use the Synapse now as a "Stealth" Camera bag.
I also think I read that the Bihn Insert will not work in the Synapse?
If not then this may be a viable solution down the road too.
Having Fun Yet?
Oh and I almost forgot!
Benro Travel Angel Tripod. This tripod folds down this small but becomes a standard size tripod,its Magic!
One more for the road with just 3 lenses in the insert to get an idea of its size.
The lens' are pretty good sized chunks of glass too.
None of the lenses has the Hood mounted which does make them wider but there is plenty of room for the hoods in the bag still.
I have one of those "unnamed" inserts that I was planning on putting on eBay -- if anyone here is interested, let me know and I'll make you a deal that you can't refuse!

What is Freelancer New Feature "Initiate chat with employer ".
What is Freelancer New Feature "Initiate chat with employer ". I think this will decrease the chances of getting project awarded to a new freelancer. Coz most of the employers who come on freelancer for the first time, Don't know the workflow on freelancer.com and if after posting the project freelancer will recommend them to chat with someone, chances are more likely that they will not consider other bids. and go with that freelancer only. However, I think this feature is useless as well coz if the employer will be interested in top-ranked bid, He/she can directly send him/her a message but in this scenario new freelancers will also get a consideration which may convert into project award .1 aprecieri

The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Photos taken during crime
A Grovetown woman said Tuesday that she came home and found people trying to break into her house.
The woman said as she went to her Boulder Court home just after 1 p.m., she saw a silver Chevrolet truck parked in the circle near her house. She took a photo of the truck tag with her cell phone. She walked around to the back of the house and saw two men trying to break into the house with a screwdriver.
A roomful of Harlem residents cheered after city leaders denied requests to rezone two properties for multi-family housing.
Residents showed up in force at Monday's City Council meeting and a May 14 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to vehemently oppose the two rezonings that would make way for a 125-unit apartment complex and a 48-unit senior housing project along a main entryway into the city.
"Harlem is our hometown and we're fighting to preserve it," said Gina Bennett, who lives directly across from the proposed apartment complex.
The 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., ended in the same place for Charlie Li for the second year in a row Wednesday.
The 12-year-old Stallings Island Middle School pupil, who won local and regional bees to make it to the big stage, had no problem with the preliminary rounds on Wednesday.
He spelled "wanderlust" in the morning then strode to the microphone and successfully knocked out "glyceraldehyde" in the afternoon session.
"I was pretty confident," said Charlie, who took 39 seconds with his first word and 67 seconds with the second.

ADA anniversary
Columbia County charter school proponents are ready for another turn at bat.
Organizers behind the proposed Columbia County School for the Arts have submitted new charter petitions to both the Columbia County Board of Education and to the State Charter School Commission, according to Todd Shafer, one of the founding members of the charter school effort.
Shafer said the group, which intends to establish the county's first charter school, has revised its plan to address issues pointed out by state regulators in rejecting their initial petition last year.

Almost everything is in short supply in North Korea --
especially transparency. That's one reason so many longtime Korea
watchers viewed the agreement arising from the Six-Party Talks
earlier this year with such skepticism.
The gladsome news was that North Korea agreed to "provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs" by year's end. But this is the same North Korea that agreed to end its nuclear weapons ambitions during the Clinton era and subsequently declared it had done so. Only it hadn't.
North Korea's "data declaration" may come this week. It merits close examination, for it will test both Pyongyang's willingness to abandon its nuclear ambitions, and Washington's resolve to hold the rogue nation to strict verification standards. The latter is critical, because the vague language of the agreement does not clearly delineate North Korea's responsibilities. That opens the door to misinterpretation or deliberate malfeasance by Pyongyang.
U.S. negotiator Christopher Hill insists "nuclear programs" is an all-encompassing term that requires North Korea to provide data on its nuclear weapons. North Korean Kim Gye-gwan disagrees, claiming the North "can't declare nuclear weapons this year, because if we do it at this stage, our nuclear weapons technology level will be revealed." Such "interpretations" do not ease skeptics' anxiety.
Recently suspicions about the firmness of U.S. resolve to confront Pyongyang's abhorrent behavior heightened even more when the Bush administration refused to address congressional concerns about possible Korean initiatives in Syria. Were those Korean-assisted nuclear facilities that Israel bombed there last month?
Perhaps seeking to dispel suspicions of softness, President Bush has now asserted Pyongyang must disclose all of its past proliferation activity in the declaration. Certainly this is not spelled out in the agreement, but here's hoping we will hold North Korea to this higher standard.
Verification, of course, is the key to ensuring Korean compliance. Pyongyang's violation of four previous nuclear agreements and its refusal to allow international inspectors to visit two suspect sites in 1992 makes such a requirement inviolable. Quite simply, without verification, there should be no agreement. That the United States is preparing to accept a data declaration without first insisting on an extensively detailed verification protocol is extremely troubling.
U.S. National Technical Means, including imagery satellites, are useful, but no substitute for on-site inspections. Classified collection systems can alert us to suspicious activity, but suspicions can only be conclusively resolved by inspectors on the ground.
The U.S. could enter into arms control treaties with the Soviet Union confidently only because Washington insisted on effective verification. "Trust but verify" was the strategy then, and Bush administration should accept nothing less now.
The agreements penned earlier this year don't contain the provisions to ensure North Korea honors its pledge to denuclearize fully. The U.S. must move quickly to insist on a clear delineation of data and a vigorous verification regime before the data declaration occurs. North Korea should be required to reveal the number, type and location of its nuclear weapons; the extent of its uranium-based nuclear weapons facilities and equipment; and its nuclear proliferation activities with Syria, Iran, Libya and the A.Q. Khan network.
An effective verification regime would include details such as the annual number of inspections, the technical inspection equipment allowed, and a requirement that inspectors be transported expeditiously to desired sites. Most importantly, the United States must get Pyongyang's commitment to allow short-notice "challenge" inspections of suspect sites.
The Bush administration's coyness about possible Korean nuclear cooperation with Syria raises suspicions it may be willing to sacrifice principles and international treaty commitments to maintain momentum in the Six-Party Talks. And in Asia, rumors that Washington has promised to remove Pyongyang from the list of terrorist states -- without first getting the promised resolution of the Japanese abduction issue -- risks straining relations with a key U.S. ally.
If the administration hopes to secure sufficient congressional and public support to continue the nuclear negotiations, it should stop stonewalling and provide an assessment of North Korea's nuclear and missile proliferation in congressional hearings -- both open and closed. And in future negotiations with North Korea, the U.S. must insist upon text that clearly (1) delineates the requirements placed on all sides and (2) defines the linkage between the denuclearization steps to be taken by North Korea and the economic and diplomatic benefits it will reap in return.
The Six-Party process to "denuclearize" North Korea cannot succeed, and will fuel only more skepticism and discord, until such time as both Pyongyang and Washington are more forthcoming in their actions and more precise in their words.

Tune up caused problems?
Ok, so it's been about 3 years since I did spark plugs on my '94 cherokee 4.0 so I figured it was due. No problems with the truck, idles and starts fine, gets up and goes when you step on it, just figured I'd change 'em while I was in the mood.
This time instead of the cheap Champions I went with AC Delco plugs.
So I pull the old ones out noting that they are toasty brown (perfect!), toss 'em away, check the gap on the Delcos (adjusting as needed), screw them down and snug them up, put the wires back on, and fire it up.
Starts right up. Take it around the block. Misfires! :confused:
Misfires under load, like if I coast in 2nd to like 10-15 mph and step on it then I get a lot of misfires. At normal speed and free-rev it seemed fine.
Get it home, pull the plugs out, double check gap, put back in, double check tightness, put wires back on. Now it misfires at idle randomly and at random times when I'm driving around.
It's getting late so I park it for the night, and today I got new wires for it (and I opted for the more expensive ones). I figured when the engine shakes/vibrates a bunch and a wire isn't making good contact I get an intermittent spark.
Hook them all up one by one so I don't mess up the firing order, start it up, seems ok.
Take it around the block, seems good.
Take it on the local 45mph streets and it seems fine. Oh wait, no, it just misfired again...
Seems like if I keep the gears, speed, and RPM all in the correct range it's fine, but if I just stomp on it to speed up I can hear and feel it missing. Not every time, though, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
I can't make it happen. It just decides on it's own.
I can drive for 20 minutes without a misfire, then I'll take a turn, go under a bridge, the sun will come out, then I'll get a whole bunch in a row...
Not sure where to go from this, especially since it didn't have any issues before changing the plugs and wires.
Is it possible I got a bad plug? Will part stores even exchange spark-plugs (especially after they've been used)?
I'm waiting for the truck to cool down right now as I just got back from work some 20+ miles away on the expressway.
I'll pull the plugs and wires again in a few hours and have a look at everything. Triple check gaps, re-grease the electrode ends on the wires, make sure they seat fine...
Anything I should look for?
I put ac plugs in mine fir the tune up after I got my truck, used them in all my gm trucks. Turns out Cherokees don't like 'em. Put champions back in and see how it runs.
After many, many, spark plug threads, most experienced 4.0L owners agree that the basic Champion spark plugs give the best performance, smoothest running, and longest service life. The 4.0L has definite likes and dislikes when it comes to spark plugs.
if you bought them at any major parts store then the plugs will have a warranty. take them back and get champions, if that does not remedy the problem then you sir have another problem.
Sorry I did not keep up with a response.
Interesting to know about the 4.0s liking champions.
I did get the Delco plugs to work better after I pulled them all out, put them back in, tightened them up, then used a whole tube of dielectric grease on the wires.
Not perfect but better.
I got the plugs at O'Rielys, not sure that they'd take em back but champions are cheap so I'm not concerned with that.
Thanks for the help!
What's the cap and rotor look like? Due to be changed every 30,000 miles.
No excessive wear or discoloration on metallics, plastic is not stressed or cracked.
I'm sure it's factory original with 170K+ miles on it, but it's fine.
You often can't see cracks in these secondary ignition items. They have a finite lifespan and don't last forever; change them and complete your tuneup with an inexpensive fuel filter.
Yeah deffinetly the delco plugs
, get yourself a cap and rotor with brass terminals/contacts that with some champs and you already have new plugs should work just fine
Again, sorry for not keeping up.
Changed back to champions, runs like... well, like a champion :thumbsup:
Yeah there's no way that cap/rotor is factory, lol.
But is it really due to be changed every 30k? I don't think I've ever known anybody that has changed one that hasn't exhibited signs of damage. Definitely not in 30k miles.
Didn't matter what make or mileage, either the distributor worked or it didn't and it got replaced or it didn't.
Anyways, thanks for the help, guys. Glad I got my truck back to a smooth runner.
Never had a problem with adhering to this maintenance interval.

In a loss last weekend at Iowa State, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville and offensive coordinator Neal Brown watched a couple of 6-foot-5, 255-pound guys combine for eight pass receptions, 78 yards and two touchdowns. When they weren't running pass routes, the Cyclones' Collin Franklin and Kurt Hammerschmidt were throwing blocks for running backs who piled up 251 rushing yards.
That's us, Tech coaches thought, next year.
Tight ends like Iowa State possesses represent an athlete type the Tech staff covets.
Tech is trying to improve its running game, often without even having a tight end on the field.
"When you play the tight end, it widens the edge out and gives you a better matchup in the passing game," Brown said. "We ran the ball effectively (last) week, and we've got to build off of that. As we get tight ends, we'll evolve more into that, just because I feel like we can recruit the best tight ends in the country and I feel like that's the best matchup on the football field."
The Red Raiders are trying to get through this year without an experienced, big-body tight end on the roster. Adam James gets the call on the infrequent occasions they put one in the game.
"It affects us," Tuberville said. "It affects us. You've got to be able to run it to the tight end side and the open end side. Most of the time we do run the ball, we don't have a tight end in the game. They can gang up on you a little bit. Our offense next year will have more of a traditional tight end."
Brown classified tight end as one of the main priorities for the February signing class.
Tech has a commitment from San Antonio MacArthur's Jace Amaro (6-5, 240), who is ranked as the No. 7 tight end prospect and the No. 111 recruit overall in the country. Two eventual helpers are sitting out this season, sophomore Tony Trahan (6-5, 228) after his transfer from Rutgers, and freshman Bo Whitney (6-4, 235), who is redshirting.
Brown said he likes deploying tight ends not just for what they can do but for the guesswork they force on opposing defensive coordinators. Iowa State can break the huddle with a one-back, two-receiver personnel group and morph into a four-receiver set by standing up both tight ends in the slot.
The Cyclones also transition out of a one-back, two-receiver personnel group by lining up a tight end at fullback.
As defensive coaches flash cards on the sideline to show their players the personnel group, the arrangement can turn into something else.
"You can run the same plays, but it's harder for the defense, because all the defenses are personnel-based," Brown said. "They're making their defensive call based on what personnel we have in the game. So if we can get some tight ends that can run and are athletic and can stand up and play receiver, then put their hand down and block, then we're going to be more versatile."
Trahan, who went to high school in Coppell, appears to be the top tight end prospect on the roster.
He played as a true freshman last season at Rutgers and has impressed in practice.
Brown said Trahan was advertised as a blocker, but has caught the ball well in Sunday night scrimmages for the team's young players.
Brown said Trahan is more advanced than Whitney, a converted quarterback, "just because Trahan played at Rutgers last year, and he was in a run-oriented offense. He understands pad level and steps, and he was really well-coached there.
"Trahan needs to be a factor for us next year, and I think Bo's going to be a factor for us sometime down the road."

Distribution and prognostic value of histopathologic data and immunohistochemical markers in gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs): An analysis of the EORTC phase III trial of treatment of metastatic GISTs with imatinib mesylate
Rationale: The 62005 EORTC phase III trial, comparing two doses of imatinib in patients with advanced GIST, reported a median progression-free survival of 25 months with a trend towards dose dependency for progression-free survival. The current analysis of that study aimed to assess whether histological/immunohistochemical parameters correlate with clinical response to imatinib. Patients and methods: Pre-treatment samples of GISTs from 546 patients enroled in phase III study were analysed for immunohistochemical characteristics, correlations with clinicopathological data, with survival and with tumours' genotype. Results: There was no correlation between immunomorphological or clinical characteristics and response to treatment, PFS or OS. No correlations between immunophenotype of the tumour and PFS or OS in the two dose arms were observed. Conclusions: The results confirm the heterogeneity of GIST in terms of immunophenotypic expression, but indicate that these parameters have no impact on the outcome of the patients under imatinib treatment.

Savy - Revealed
Your name, family, singing - tell us more...
It's Savy Som but I just go by Savy. My first name seems to be challenging enough without complicating the matter of throwing in my last name. I've asked my parents what my name means in Khmer and so far, they don't have any good answers for me. It's such an awesome coincidence that I was born in the same place (Battambang) as the Queen of Khmer Rock n Roll, Ros Sereysothea! I'll leave that as the only parallel drawn between us though because she is a legend. Sacred. I am just a mere mortal. My parents love Cambodian music, and my brother plays guitar. He actually helped me write my second single. My sister is a brilliant fine artist. The Khmer artistry runs deep through my family, but I'm the only one who could never shut up when the radio is on.
Singing is something I've been doing since I was four. It was never encouraged though. My mom literally told me to stop singing and that I didn't have a good voice. They are the sweetest people apart from that opinion, the thing is that Asian parents are very practical and can be critical. But they're on board now. It only took 28 years. My first audition was for a school play when I was eight. Every season I try out for all the reality singing shows, American Idol, The Voice, America's Got Talent. I've been a feature singer in cover bands but I've never had the opportunity to be a full-time musician due to having to work a day job since I was a teenager to pay those pesky bills.
I'd like to earn a comfortable living as a full-time musician. It's what I love doing the most and I'd do it for free, so being paid for it would be a fantastic bonus. I've been working in hospitals in the clinical lab as a phlebotomist (collecting blood samples) since I was eighteen. I love helping people and being there during someone's time of need and duress. I was laid-off from that job in July and I moved in with my brother in order to reduce expenses, so I could focus resources on getting my music out there. I've spent every last dime on it, so it's all I really have at this point.
Your song, About A Boy...
I write all the lyrics, harmonies and the majority of the melodies. 'About A Boy' was co-written and produced by an amazing team in Los Angeles with which I've had the good fortune of working, Liz Hill and Wesley Avery. I wrote 'About A Boy' when I had just started seeing someone that I was feeling delighted by and hopeful about. It didn't work out but I'll always have that song as a snapshot to that time and emotion. It reminds me that great things can only come to those with an open heart. Never stop believing in love. It's the only thing that lasts. Knowledge and love. I live for those things. I will readily admit that I have an unyielding passion for pop music! I used to hide it as a guilty pleasure, but I realized that pop music is one of the few styles that fires up the love I have for performing and honing my craft. While pop is comprised mainly of corn and cheese, it can serve as a reminder to never take things too seriously in life. Life is inherently difficult and you have to find outlets to lighten up the doorstep. Music isn't designed to crack the mathematical equation for cold fusion, it's designed for fun!
I plan to promote the song where ever the music takes me. It's all about connecting with people and I want to be in places to promote what is fun and positive. My tracks are concert quality, so I perform solo for the ease. A band would be ideal though because I learned to sing and perform with live musicians. My second single is an up tempo space travel analogy. I'm in pre production for the music video right now and I'm super excited to start filming! I love Star Trek (The Next Generation) and other space travel anthologies. I enjoy nearly anything written by really smart intellectuals that have a lot of wit and heart. I'm a huge nerd.
What about your Cambodian roots...
I felt very Cambodian growing up, my parents raised me with a lot of the old world values, have respect for elders, to work really hard, be thoughtful, and observant. For me, that's what it means to be Khmer, that when you walk by a seated elder, you stoop to show deference for their life experience. Being Khmer is a warmth of spirit and inviting people to share your meal. I love our food, it's the best in the world! My mom can cook like nobody's business. I'm getting hungry just writing about it. My parents are both alive and live in California, as well as the rest of my family. My family is small, like most Cambodians, we lost a lot of people during the war.
There hasn't been a day of my life that Cambodia does not occupy my mind. I have always wanted to go back but haven't returned mostly because I've had to work and pay every last bill on my own. There's also an emotional component to my return that is tinged with sadness from what my family went through. But I'm ready to go back now, especially if I have something like music to share! Hopefully that will expedite my inevitable return and make it sooner than later.

Mangaluru: The National Students Union of India (NSUI) met the Divisional Controller of KSRTC, V I Hegde at his chamber at Lalbagh and submitted a memorandum here, on October 5.
Speaking to Mangalorean.com, student Rayan Monis said that on October 5, he was travelling by KSRTC bus from Dharmasthala to Mangaluru. When he showed the bus pass to the conductor, he insisted him to alight from the bus. When Rayan refused to alight from the bus, the conductor stopped the bus in front of the Punjalkatte police station and a complaint was filed against Rayan. Rayan also said, "We do not have more buses to Mangaluru from our route. Every day, we face harassment from the bus conductor." He demanded justice to all the other students who travel by bus with a student pass.
Shamitha, who travels by KSRTC bus from Manihalla, said that the bus conductor forced her to alight from the bus after she showed her pass. She also said, "Bus conductors do not allow us to travel if they come to know that we are using the bus pass."
Speaking to Mangalorean.com, district NSUI president Ashith Pereira said that on October 5, when a student from Roshni Nilaya was travelling by KSRTC bus from Dharmasthala, he was harassed by the bus conductor when he showed his bus pass and was forced to alight from the bus. "When the student refused to alight, the conductor stopped the bus near a police station and filed a complaint against him saying that the student was obstructing him from doing his job. NSUI condemns the false allegation by the bus conductor on the student and also the harassment faced by the students while travelling with a student bus pass."
Ashith along with the students of Roshni Nilaya met the Divisional Controller V I Hegde. More than 25 students handed over their complaints regarding the harassment faced by them on daily basis while travelling by KSRTC buses.
Hegde assured the students that justice would be done with them. He also said that conductors should not refuse the students from travelling by KSRTC buses. "Students having bus pass and travel by KSRTC buses should be treated well and should not be harassed. We will take action against the conductor who filed a false complaint against the student," he said.
Mithun Sequeira, Shawad Gonadka, Vinitha Fernandes, Reema and others were also present.

My friend Randy Olson, the filmmaker and science-communication evangelizer devoted to prodding folks out of the "nerd loop," has been at it again — this time running one of his three-day video-making boot camps for graduate students in the TerreWEB program (on communication of global-change science) at the University of British Columbia. One student, Megan Callahan, came up with a particularly effective video on the interconnections in ecosystems. Randy sees this film, describing the domino-like relationship of species in an ecosystem, as the best single video to emerge in his years-long coaching effort. I'd like to get your view, and I'm sure he would, too. Here's his "Your Dot" post, along with a link to more on his blog, The Benshi: Read more…

A Song Tries to Go Beyond the 'OMG' Reaction to GMOsBy Andrew C. Revkin
[2:26 p.m. | Update | I'll be adding various interesting "reviews" at the bottom of the post, starting with Stewart Brand, the author of "Whole Earth Discipline."]
David Holmes, a graduate of Prof. Jay Rosen's Studio 20 digital journalism program at New York University and co-creator of the popular "Fracking Song," is now making a career out of deconstructing tough, consequential issues through a mashup of music, graphics and hyper-linking. (Some people have taken to calling such output "newsicals.")
Holmes and fellow graduate and song creator Andrew Bean have formed a company, Explainer Music, and their latest tune, produced for the Web site PandoDaily, is "OMG GMO's!" The hip-hop video digs in on a familiar theme here — resolving the mix of technologies and traditions that can feed humanity with the fewest regrets:
I encourage you to read the hyper-linked lyrics to see the informational backdrop behind they lyrics. Here's an excerpt: Read more…
On Frogs, Fungi, Climate and the New News ProcessBy Andrew C. Revkin
On Monday, the University of South Florida press office put out a release to draw attention to an important new study finding amplified disease risk in frogs when exposure to a dangerous fungus coincides with increasingly varied temperatures. The headline was "Frogs Getting Sick from Climate Change."
On reading the paper abstract and skimming the conclusions [full paper here], I saw no basis for the definitive punch of that line. I proposed on Twitter that this release deserved a Headline Hype Award. I included a link to a 2008 post on another instance in which research on frogs, fungi and climate was similarly overplayed — in that instance by the National Science Foundation.
On Monday, I sent a link to my Twitter item to two senior authors on the paper, Jason Rohr of the University of South Florida and Thomas Raffel of Oakland University in Michigan, as well as Vickie Chachere, the University of South Florida news manager.
This prompted a sometimes heated, but ultimately fruitful, exchange, and a valuable "Your Dot" essay by Rohr and Raffel on frogs, fungi, climate and the news process, which I encourage you to read below. It's followed by some equally valuable capping thoughts from Chachere. Read more…
A Closer Look at Extreme Drought in a Warming ClimateBy Andrew C. Revkin
[6:54 p.m. | Updated | I added some background below on a new Nature Climate Change study on current and predicted North American drought.]
The extraordinarily hot, dry summer in the American heartland has seen higher temperatures, so far, than any single year during the devastating 1930s dry spell described in the Son House tune in the video above [performed by my old band]. As corn crops wither and food prices rise, this has resulted in a steady string of visits to Iowa and other sun-baked states by politicians, including both Rep. Paul Ryan and President Obama today.
It has also resulted in a stream of coverage and commentary on the relationship of this and other recent drought episodes to global warming. It's worth digging a little deeper and putting the heated discussions of the moment into global and historical context.
An article and related infographic in the Review section of the Sunday Times crystallized the issues that attend discussions of human-driven global warming in the context of drought.
The Op-Ed article, "100-Year Forecast: Drought," was by three of the co-authors of a new Nature Geoscience paper on the 2000-2004 drought in the American West, which was the worst drought in that region — by their estimate — in 800 years. In the article, they posited that such droughts, "once a rare calamity, have become more frequent and are set to become the 'new normal'" if emissions of greenhouse gases are not curbed.
At the same time, the related graphic, a timeline of 21 centuries of deviations from normal precipitation in New Mexico, showed that the authors' notion of a "new normal" could easily be said to be the "old normal" given how much of recent history has been extremely dry in that state. (I posted this thought on Twitter over the weekend.)
I sent an e-mail query to the the authors of the Op-Ed piece, including this thought (e-mail shorthand adjusted):
While I, like you, would love to see global greenhouse-gas emissions slow, I have trouble reconciling your greenhouse-focused Op-Ed message with the facts — which are that the West is prone to potent sustained drought periods, some mega, and much of the development of the region took place in an anomalously wet half century. In other words, isn't what you warn of as a "new normal" actually the "old normal", perhaps with a new mix of drivers? Whether through the nature of the West's climate or a greenhouse push (or both), the region is poised for trouble (which will almost assuredly be amplified should greenhouse trajectories stay what they are).
Christopher A. Williams, a Clark University geographer who was one of the Op-ed authors and an author of the Nature Geosciences paper on recent western drought, replied (shorthand adjusted): Read more…
'Unprecedented' Greenland Surface Melt – Every 150 Years?By Andrew C. Revkin
The flow of news releases and background science content from NASA is generally excellent, but the space agency badly blew it earlier this week with this headline, which has now reverberated around the Web: "Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt."
Unprecedented means "never done or known before." Yet the news release beneath the headline directly undercuts that description of this melting event, saying that it is rare — the last wide surface melt was in 1889, recorded in separate ice cores at the Greenland ice-sheet summit and in the northwestern part of the vast frozen expanse — and has happened roughly every 150 years over a long stretch of centuries, as recorded deeper in the ice. (Here's a figure from a 1994 Science paper pointing to a series of such melt layers, reflecting summer warmth. Please see the postscript below for the key reference, provided by Lora Koenig of NASA.)
The inaccurate headline and burst of hyperventilating coverage and commentary (with some exceptions, like this new post by Climate Central) have already provided fodder for those whose passion or job is largely aimed at spreading doubt about science pointing to consequential greenhouse-driven warming.
This is unfortunate because the NASA release otherwise provided a fascinating, timely description of an unusual event, along with the historical context, as in this line: Read more…

Winning Entry in 'What is a Flame' ContestBy Andrew C. Revkin
I recently wrote about the "Flame Challenge," a contest organized by the Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University. In the competition, more than 800 contestants sought to answer — in everything from poetry to animation — the question, "What is a flame?"
The contest was sparked by the actor and master science communicator Alan Alda, who's an adviser to the Stony Brook program. In a guest editorial in the journal Science in early March, he put out a call for some fresh ideas, explaining that when he was 11, he asked a teacher this question and got the sterile response, "It's oxidation."
The winner, announced by Alda at the World Science Festival today, is the animation above, by Ben Ames, a 31-year-old Missouri-born graduate student at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, studying quantum optics. (Here are the six finalists.) You may agree or disagree, but the value of this contest was that, after an initial screening of the entries for scientific accuracy, the judges were some 6,000 11-year-old students at 130 schools.
Daniel Kahneman on the Trap of 'Thinking That We Know'By Andrew C. Revkin
The National Academy of Sciences did a great service to science early this week by holding a conference on "The Science of Science Communication." A centerpiece of the two-day meeting was a lecture titled "Thinking That We Know," delivered by Daniel Kahneman, the extraordinary behavioral scientist who was awarded a Nobel Prize in economics despite never having taken an economics class.
The talk is extraordinary for the clarity (and humor) with which he repeatedly illustrates the powerful ways in which the mind filters and shapes what we call information. He discusses how this relates to the challenge of communicating science in a way that might stick.
Please carve out the time to watch his slide-free, but image-rich, talk. It's a shorthand route to some of the insights described in Kahneman's remarkable book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (I'm a third of the way through).
Here's the video of the talk (which is "below the fold" because it's set up to play automatically): Read more…
On the Allure of Ostriches and New Paths in Climate CommunicationBy Andrew C. Revkin
Lynne Cherry, a prize-winning environmental writer and illustrator (remember "The Great Kapok Tree"?) who's now also a youth-oriented filmmaker, recently alerted me to a paper exploring the limits of traditional environmental messages given a deeply ingrained human habit of avoiding inconvenient warnings.
I invited her to weigh in with a "Your Dot" entry, and here it is, along with an illustration she crafted with Doug Grandt showing the ostrich habit she'd like to find new ways to overcome: Read more…
How Twitter Matters: Casting a Worldwide NetBy Andrew C. Revkin
As regular readers know, I came around to Twitter slowly but now find it an essential combination of sensory apparatus and global conduit for ideas and information. A demonstration of its power to plumb the collective mind occurred on Tuesday, while I was in Washington attending "The Science of Science Communication."
The meeting was organized by the National Academy of Sciences to explore the rich batch of behavioral research, from Kahneman to Kahan and beyond, illustrating that information, on its own, has little meaning (a favorite phrase of the risk-communication consultant David Ropeik). (The Twitter tag for the conference was #sackler, after the family that sponsored it.)
One discussion touched on patterns of collaboration in research, and that got me wondering if anyone had analyzed trends in co-authorship of science papers as a possible indicator of the global "match.com" potential of various Web tools for fostering collaboration among experts with variegated skill sets. Here's my initial tweet:
Has anyone studied geographic diversity in paper coauthors over time to gauge Web impact on #science collaboration? #sackler
— Andy Revkin (@Revkin) May 22, 2012
Two hours later Emilio M. Bruna of the University of Florida provided the first clue, pointing to an analysis of patterns in authorship of papers on the biology of the tropics:
@Revkin: we found cross-national co-authorshipsurprisingly limited (1995-2004). tinyurl.com/cqbfzkg. Data @datadryad for further analysis
— Emilio M. Bruna (@BrunaLab) May 22, 2012
That paper doesn't show trends so much as a snapshot. Bruna's tweet was followed within minutes by this one below, from Dryad, "an international repository of data underlying peer-reviewed articles in the basic and applied biosciences." This archive is maintained by a group of journals.
@BrunaLab @Revkin the Dryad data is available here: dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.…
— Dryad (@datadryad) May 22, 2012
There's a path to an answer here, or to a research opportunity for someone. My capping tweet conveyed my view that this was more evidence we're rapidly building what you might call a Knowosphere.

Novel: "Landstrike"
Author: Ken Bass
Publisher: Xlibris
Book Signing: Saturday, Aug. 1 at Marineland, from 6 to 9 p.m. Wine and hor douerves will be offered
Florida residents know more than most other Americans about hurricanes and the devastation they bring.
Andrew, for example, flattened south Dade County, and many destructive storms have hit Florida since, costing many lives and billions of dollars in damages.
Ken Bass, an attorney who turned to writing, has written his first novel, "Landstrike," an action story that's a good read, though it could also double as "fictive investigative journalism" or "future history."
His story builds naturally: Tropical Storm Nicole, born in the Cape Verde Islands, begins its westward journey cross the Atlantic Ocean, but when it hits the warm Gulf Stream, it grows into a Category 5 storm, bearing 150 to 160 mph winds.
Nicole flirts with Florida and Charleston, then picks up speed on an uncertain track going north.
Scientists in the National Hurricane Center have perfected a program that accurately predicts a storm's direction, but too late officials realize that Nicole's headed for New York City.
Bass' book describes the fate of people who live directly in Nicole's path: Cops, criminals, nurses, city officials, cruise ship and tug boat captains, journalists, lawyers, rich people and poor people.
Some choose to stay and some have no way to leave.
In any disaster or crisis, some survive and some don't. Heroes and cowards reveal themselves.
Bass also delves into the physical damage the hurricane does to New York by the huge 30-foot storm surge Nicole pushes ahead of her, sweeping everything aside.
As a person who years ago watched the Verrazano Narrows Bridge built, I did have doubts about its fate in the book. But Bass makes a convincing case about his point of view and, in the end, we both hope neither of us is proven correct.
His sense of detail in describing the city's damages seems like he was there and saw it. That's good reporting.
Bass also asks a question for public safety officials to debate Is it really effective to evacuate a city or area, with all the resulting tion chaos that brings, or is it better to build storm shelters in place, which can be expensive and also contains the risk of leaving people in the path of a devastating storm?

Toronto sports fans rejoice!
It appears the Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund is looking to divest their shares in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.
According to La Presse newspaper in Montreal, the Teachers' Pension Fund has hired investment bank Morgan Stanley to attempt to find a buyer for the 66% majority share of the company they own. The report states that the price tag for the sale is somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1.3 billion.
MLSE owns not only the Maple Leafs but also the Toronto Raptors of the NBA, Major League Soccer's Toronto FC as well as the Air Canada Centre, BMO Field and Ricoh Coliseum.
