Why Should I Dream? - Poem by bonifacio alba
Why do I strive so hard...
When the road ahead
Is so rough and bumpy?
I should have stayed
And relax at my twilight
Rather than chasing time
Of no definite outcome?
Faith, vision... What else...
Are they just fragments
Of my wild imagination
To realize those dreams?
Not all answers are given
A must to face soon...
The unexpected realities
That can never be imagined.
The realities not a part
Of the dreams molded,
It is a fog that restricts
The vision to pursue...
Perseverance may shield
Never to quit at the height
Of all the test of endurance
Before the light is seen...
Uncertainties is a call...
To fallback the quest for life.
But since then we know not
What the future will lead us.
Maybe just spend the time,
With a definite purpose
To serve and share the gifts
Of blessings and God's calling.

Custom installation winXP-win7
Hi everybody
At this moment I have windows XP and I want to install windows 7. I can't upgrade my system to win7 but on the other hand I don't want my documents and programs to be erased. So I thought to install win7 on the same drive as the XP installed without formatting it and to create a windows.old folder.
So I got some questions:
1) Is it gonna work?
2) Will the windows.old folder contain ALL my documents and programs from windows XP?
3) Will I be able to copy those programs from windows.old to another location and run them without installing? Or I have to install them again?
Thank you very much for replying and sorry for my bad english

There's no guarantee you will not lose your date, the wise thing to do would be to make back-ups to the external media of your choice, of any data, i.e., pics, docs music that you would not want to lose because it may go wrong and then it'll be too late.

Harare - China has offered Zimbabwe $3bn for vast platinum reserves, a local private newspaper reported on Friday but said the deal was likely to be rejected by the government over its terms.
Zimbabwe, with an estimated $6bn yearly economy, has the world's second largest platinum reserves after South Africa.
It has relied heavily on Chinese investment to prop up a staggering economy largely shunned by the West over President Robert Mugabe's suspected human rights abuses.
Quoting sources in Zimbabwe's unity government, the weekly Zimbabwe Independent said the master-loan-facility from the Export-Import Bank of China would give Harare the money to revive an economy wrecked by what many see as chronic mismanagement by Mugabe's ZANU-PF party.
"Sources said the deal has been received with scepticism in government circles because it has stringent conditions," it said, citing these as "mortgaging platinum reserves, ceding Chiadzwa (state) diamond revenues and tollgate fees."
Finance Minister Tendai Biti reportedly told the Independent talks were going on with the Chinese, but declined to discuss details.
Biti and Mines Minister Obert Mpofu were unavailable for comment. Chinese officials were also not available for comment.
On Monday, Economic Planning and Development Minister Tapiwa Mashakada told Reuters the state-run China Development Bank could fund up to $10bn in Chinese investment in Zimbabwe's mining and agriculture sector.
The announcement could be aimed at trying to prod Western investors to sink more money into Zimbabwe out of fear they will lose ground to China, analysts said.
Western investors, already cautious of doing business with Zimbabwe due to its precarious political position, are also worried about a law that says 51% of firms worth over $500 000 should be owned by black Zimbabweans.
Resource-hungry China, which has strong ties with Mugabe's ZANU-PF party from the 1970s, has been steadily increasing its investments.
Its Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi is due to visit Zimbabwe next week to explore business opportunities in the mineral-rich country.
A unity government formed by Mugabe and rival Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in 2009 has brought stability to an economy crushed by hyperinflation about two years ago.
The reserves are estimated to be worth almost $40bn. http://www.google.co.za/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=673&q=zimbabwe+platinum+reserves&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&fp=b8956cd87005398e.
Well they wanted to be friends of China... the Chinese who will own all their natural resources and pay them Chinese equivalent wages.
The Chineese have been offering them money for the last 15 years- so whats changed.What a load of hog wash, the country is stuffed.
This is precisely the issue the Africans have with the Colonialists - selling Africa's natural resources! Beneficiation of our plstinum resources would not only generate far greater inflows of capital and foreign revenues, but also create thousands of jobs. African politicians should not be allowed, or empowered, to destroy our continent through short-sighted policies.
The people of zimbabwe will become slaves of the new colonlial masters - and trust me, the Chinese work their slaves very hard. All the value will leave the country. Next will be the farms, with all the produce going back to china. But who cares - mugabe would love to have 75% of zimbabweans die - he does not care.
and how long will it take the thieves to squander the 6bn which should be like 30 to 40 bn. talk about giving away the family silver.
The chinese are just a modern day Cecil Rhodes.
Zimbabwe is such a tragic case. It is now considering selling off the family jewels at a ridiculously low price, just to prop up a system that will gobble up this money and with nothing to show for it at the end.
What goes around comes around. Owen, Cecil John Rhodes loved the land, but was a Company yes man. What Rhodes started became the bread basket of Africa with prospects into the future.
I am not sticking up for Rhodes, but he was a product of the time period of British Industrialisation and believed the world was a better place with Colonialism and championed England's expansion agenda.
Now China has it's own Industrial Revolution and they like England are just practising another form of colonialism by their need for resources but times have changed as the Chinese are using the roads, towns and infrastructure that took more than a 100 years of colonialism to create. They are simply feeding off England's success like locusts.
South Africa's platinum producers should be concerned as if China gets these rights then essentially the biggest user of platinum will have it's own supply and the price will drop possibly making our producers less profitable from oversupply of PGM's.
I never understood wwhy do we sell our natural resources as raw materials when we can make the stuff they are used for.
That should really be banned in SA.
We should buy the resources in African countries like Zim to save them from themselves.
Why does the international powers keep a ban on Zim coz not the targeted people suffer but common citizen and they should back off as they can see the sanction & collapse does not affect Robert & his bigwigs not they feel sory by the helpless Ordinary Zimos, who can not even vote him out!!!

This product is currently not available for purchase
The Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute 2016 HP pays homage to the sought after Les Paul of the 1950s, offering the iconic style and tone but with modern attributes designed to optimise both playability and performance. The new and exclusive fast-access heel provides unparalleled access to the high notes, and when combined with the slim taper neck and new soloist neck width, the result is one of the fastest playing Les Paul ever made. The 490R and 498T humbucking pickups produce the time-honored high output tone with plenty of versatility that's perfect for a range of playing styles. Other premium features include a tune-o-matic bridge with titanium saddles, titanium zero fret nut, new G Force automatic tuners and mother of pearl inlays.
Product Ref: 70943
Featuring a 498T 'Hot Alnico'' humbucker in the bridge, the Les Paul 50s Tribute 2016 HP produces a high output and fierce rhythm tone with detailed dynamics due to the Alnico V magnet construction. Additionally the 490R ''Modern Classic'' neck pickup produces high output, rich sound whilst retaining a crisp and bright tone, perfect for smooth cleans and lead licks. Constructed from Alnico V and Alnico II magnets with 4 conductor wiring, the 490R and 498T humbuckers offer a high output tone with plenty of versatility, perfect for a variety of playing styles.
Tune-O-Matic bridges are an extremely popular fixed bridge type due to their stability, reliability, comfortable playing position and impressive sustain. Additionally adjusting the string action and intonation is extremely simple with a tune-o-matic bridge. Simply adjust the height of the bridge with the mounting rods to alter the action and screw in or out the bridge saddles to achieve perfect intonation.
Gibson understand how disheartening it can be when you get a new guitar home just to find out it needs setting up before you can properly reap the benefits. By ensuring that every Gibson 2016 model comes professionally set up straight out the box you can plug in and play to start enjoying the premium build quality and incredible tone of the Gibson 2016 models.

Busta Rhymes releases his new solo album for FREE, via Google Play on Young Money/Cash Money Records. Guest shots from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Trey Songz, Gucci Mane, Camron, Maino, Robin Thicke, and more.
Busta Rhymes "Year Of The Dragon" (Mixtape)
I was going to download it but then I realized their was no song with Justin Bieber on it…very lame.
I was thinking about giving this a try but the features on the tracklist is suspect: Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Trey Songz, Gucci Mane & Camron. This is a very NO BUENO look for Busta. I'm not gonna talk bad about Maino and Bobin Thicke.
He should have had Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Sean Price, Raekwon, anyone from Slaughterhouse, Eminem or something like that.
I did listen to it, and it's as wack as you think. A bad album is never free: I can't get my 10 minutes back.
I have downloaded it today and listening to it as I write this, it's not too bad, obviously not Bustas best work.
The production quality is very good, the beats are all solid, his rapping is good, the features are ok, not garbage just not relevant to the Busta legacy.
If this album was not free it be as good as any of his recent stuff. The fact that it is free makes it easily dismissible. I'm not complaining he is giving away his hard work for free, ats cool with me.
I think we expect too much from the 90s rappers and are infinitely disappointed if every track is not woo hah or can't touch this or produced by J dilla or anything fresh for our ears.
Overall above average rating I'd give it.
Oh god the track 'my life is a movie' just came on, I feel sick! Such trash!

Zero is a skateboard company that was founded by Pro skater Jamie Thomas in 1996 purely as a clothing company but soon became a proper full skate skate company making decks, wheels and a full array of skateboard accessories and hardware.
Thomas left his role as a team rider at Toy Machine to found Zero and to say things have worked out well is an understatement. Zero is sold world-wide and by far one of the most popular skateboard brands on the planet.
Zero appeals more to the hardcore rider, the kind that hates rules and follows their own path in life.
Zero's skate clothing line along with their decks and wheels offers core gritty graphics that center around the brand logo which is a skull and was actually seen being worn by the bad kid in the animated motion picture Toy Story.
Their clothing line consists of T-Shirts, hoodies, shirts, hats, caps, beanies and belts as well as a range of accessories such as socks and bags, travel and backpacks. All Zero clothing is produced and printed on the highest grade materials so you know when you order a zero hood or t-shirt you're going to get amazing quality not only in the garment but also with the print.
Within their skate range they pretty much offer everything you could want as a skater, Decks, wheels, bolts, bearings, grip tape, tools, wax, risers and even grind bars.
Zero has a ridiculously solid team of riders such as Chris Cole, James Brockman, John Rattray, Tommy Sandoval, Jamie Tancowny, Garrett Hill, Elissa Steamer, Keegan Sauder, Ben Gilley, Tony Cervantes, Sheldon Meleshinski, Dane Burman and of course the founder and main man himself Jamie Thomas.
Zero is distributed through Thomas' Black Box Distribution company along with sister company Mystery and other brands such as Fallen shoes. Yakwax is dedicated to bringing you the very best range of Zero clothing and skateboards that we possibly can.

Reader sissysugar recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group in the GeekSugar Community:
I snapped this pretty picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay with my Nikon Coolpix S200. I love the camera because it takes good pictures and is light and fits in my bag, but I'm ready to graduate to an SLR for more advanced options. I don't really have any special technique. I just love taking pictures and capturing moments that make me feel something.
Do you have a photo you absolutely love? Join our Cool Capture group and share your image, the model of camera used to take the photo, and a little about the image or moment you captured and it could be featured on GeekSugar.

Hello to one and all!
Obviously, I am new to this site but I want to take a moment to tip my cap to everyone here who has, as it seems, put many hours of of hard dedicated work into these projects and this site.
I know that right now I am unable to add anything to the already vast knowledge pool, but with time I am hoping to be able to contribute even in the slightest of ways.
Thank you for such a wondrous site!!

Interest Pixiv Art Site, Takashi Murakami's Studio Open Gallery
posted on 2011-07-16 17:30 EDT by Lynzee Loveridge
The artist community website pixiv and Kaikai Kiki, the studio of modern artist Takashi Murakami, opened their joint "pixiv Zingaro" gallery at the Nakano Broadway mall in Tokyo on Thursday. The gallery will showcase illustrations, paintings, photos, fashion, woodwork, metalwork, and ceramics.
Kaikai Kiki already runs three existing galleries at Nakano Broadway, but the new gallery is inspired by the 3 million members whose art are hosted on the pixiv website. Kaikai Kiki opened a Hidari Zingaro gallery with a "pixikiki Analog Exhibit" section in Nakano Broadway in February, and "pixiv Zingaro" expands that exhibit into its own gallery.
The pixiv Zingaro gallery opened with "JH Kagaku-Ten," an exhibition of the Japanese artist who goes by the name "John Hathway." Next month, the gallery will host the artist collective Kai-You and a collection of 100 pieces of cover artwork from Kodansha's 56-year-old Nakayoshi shōjo anthology — the former home of Sailor Moon and Japan's oldest manga magazine that is still print.

"Star Wreck" Most Popular Finnish Film Ever
Posted 21 November 2005 - 02:53 PM
Free Internet "Star Trek" spoof is top Finnish film
Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:24 AM ET6
HELSINKI (Reuters) - A spoof of science-fiction classic "Star Trek" has become Finland's most viewed movie, relying on free distribution over the Internet to reach more than three million viewers in less than two months.
"Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is a full-length feature in Finnish with English subtitles. It was made by a group of students and other amateur film makers with a bare-bones budget and a few home computers to create elaborate special effects.
According to the Finnish Internet hosting firm Magentasites Oy, which is helping to distribute Star Wreck, 2.92 million copies have been downloaded from the film's Web site (http://www.starwreck.com) since October 1, and an estimated 600,000 copies have gone out through various mirror sites.
Finland's most-viewed film in the movie theatres is war epic "The Unknown Soldier" (1955) with 2.8 million viewers.
The success of Star Wreck comes as the film industry grapples with the threats and opportunities of the Internet.
Movie studios are fearful of the rampant piracy that has ravaged their music label counterparts, but are also hoping to use the Internet to cut distribution costs and open up new markets.

Have you seen the Imperial Edition yet? They re-rendered all ship shots so that they don't look quite identical to ST and B5, and got a distribution deal with Universal Pictures in Scandinavia, so I have a store-bought DVD.

Vision Statement
We envision a community where people with autism achieve their maximum potential as they live, learn, and work.
Mission Statement
We provide a lifeline to support families and individuals affected by autism. We give hope and information to families and professionals by connecting them with each other, and to the resources that enable them to navigate their unique challenges.
What Makes Us Special
|We sponsor the largest autism support group network in Pennsylvania. We have groups in thirty-six counties across the state serving parents, as well as children, teens, and adults on the autism spectrum.
|We organize and hosts accredited educational conferences and workshops. We can assist you or your organization in locating community speakers or other educational opportunities.
|We publish a quarterly Newsletter and weekly E-Blast on the latest autism-related news and events. Contact us to subscribe, or for advertising or sponsorship opportunities.
|We manage a statewide free lending library of autism-related books, DVDs, videos, and publications. Check for available titles, or to donate to the library. Many books are available to purchase.
Our History
ABOARD's Autism Connection of PA was founded in 1996 by a group of parents of autistic children. Our mission is to help those with autism achieve their maximum social, educational, and vocational potential.
In 1996, we received nonprofit 501(c)(3) status as a charity in the state of Pennsylvania. Since that time we have served tens of thousands of Pennsylvania families confronted with the challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), as well as the professionals who work with them.
ABOARD's Autism Connection of PA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and is staffed by parents of children with autism and related disorders. The Board of Directors continues to be comprised primarily of parents of children with ASD, and is assisted through the volunteer support and guidance of a Professional Advisory Council, consisting of physicians, therapists, educators, and other individuals with strong connections to the autism community.
Our ability to serve Pennsylvania's autism community is based solely upon support from donations, fundraisers, conferences, sponsorships, grants, organizational membership, and designated employee contributions through the United Way (#9817).
Our Policy and Promise
We seek to maximize the potential of all Pennsylvanians with autism spectrum disorders, and to support all family members and caregivers who support them without regard of their ability to pay. There is no membership required for families to receive help.
We envision a community where children, adolescents, and adults with ASD achieve NO LESS than their maximum potential in social, educational, and vocational environments. We give families both hope and help by advocating and providing Family Support, Education, and Information Resources.
There is considerable debate throughout the autism community about the cause of autism and issues such as vaccination, diet, inclusion, and appropriate therapies. Legislative acts can also influence services to those with autism. Our policy is to inform. We trust that individuals will assimilate the information we provide and make the best decision for their children and clients.
We believe that families challenged by autism are entitled to accurate and timely information. Through our parent support groups throughout Pennsylvania, members receive emotional and practical support from other families. We also provide information regarding advocacy assistance, education rights, and training. Armed with this information, families can effectively maximize their use of treatment, as well as their educational and vocational opportunities in the community.
The autism diagnosis rate is climbing, and with this increase in diagnosis so is the demand for services. We direct 100% of our resources and services to assisting Pennsylvania families and professionals.

NSCN status sparks row in India's northeastNovember 18th, 2011 - 2:33 pm ICT by IANS
Guwahati, Nov 18 (IANS) Governments of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh have urged New Delhi to clarify plans to offer a 'supra-state body' to the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN Isak-Muivah faction) to enable Nagas outside Nagaland to preserve their identity.
Reports in the local media about plans by the central government to grant Nagaland a special federal status by creating a 'supra-state mechanism' for the Nagas to preserve, protect and promote their cultural, social and customary practices has led to angry reactions in the three states.
"The question of allowing governing Nagas settled in Manipur simply does not arise. We don't know about any such plans by the central government," Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said.
Similar views were echoed by the governments in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, the two other states that have Naga tribals residing for decades.
The NSCN-IM and New Delhi entered into a ceasefire in August 1997. They have held more than 50 rounds of peace talks to end one of South Asia's longest-running insurgencies.
The NSCN-IM, led by guerrilla leaders Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah, had proposed 'a special federal arrangement' which enables the Nagas to govern themselves.
The NSCN-IM wants a special federal relationship with India, with a separate Naga Constitution, and would like the Naga guerrillas to jointly guard the international borders alongside Indian security forces.
The NSCN-IM has been struggling for nearly six decades to have a 'Greater Nagaland' by getting parts of three neighbouring states sliced off to unite 1.2 million Nagas. The demand is strongly opposed by the states of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh.
Conceding their demands would be a tough proposition as any move to merge Naga-inhabited areas in the northeast or grant special status allowing Nagas settled outside Nagaland to be governed by a separate administrative structure could lead to a rebellion in the neighbouring states.
"There is no question of allowing people residing in our state to be governed by a separate council or structure. There can be no compromise on this," Assam government spokesperson and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told IANS.
The NSCN-IM is on a sticky wicket, Having climbed down from its demand for an independent Naga state outside the Indian union, the rebel leadership now harps on a Greater Nagaland and a special federal relationship.
"It seems the central government is now trying to re-phrase the concept of Greater Nagaland and talking of something called the 'supra-state' mechanism to please the NSCN. Under no circumstances will the people of Arunachal accept such a proposal," said a senior state minister who didn't want to be named.
Media reports said New Delhi was contemplating granting a special federal status to the NSCN-IM on the eve of Christmas - in an attempt to seal an accord with the rebel leadership.
"If a state government, in whose territory the Nagas live, loses control and a neighbouring state government interferes and governs their lives, it would surely lead to chaos and disorder," said Sarma.

Now that is messed up.What is wrong with them??? Sounds like some disciplinary action is in order here. If they would do their jobs, like protecting others from harm, including animals instead of doing the harm themselves, it would actually make some sense.

As a veterinarian, it saddens me to realize the suffering Nitro and the other neglected dogs experienced. Dehydration & starvation are extremely painful. This poor excuse for a human being needs to pay and pay dearly. Money will not bring these dogs back, nor will it teach someone as inhumane as this piece of garbagea lesson. I say, make him feel what they did, lock him in a cage and throw away the key. My prayers are with you Liz, and also with the others who have suffered the great loss of their companions. Justice MUST prevail here.
May 7, 2009 at 8:06 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
Four months in jail?? Come on! That's not NEARLY long enough for this scum to sit and think about what he did to these poor, innocent dogs. This jackass should be locked in a cage without food & water. Let him not only think about what he did, but also feel the pain and suffering they did. You will be in my thoughts and prayers Liz, just as Nitro has been. Justice MUST prevail here!!!
May 6, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
My opinion here is, why make new laws when the existing ones are pretty much ignored?? If these horrible, cruel acts had been committed on humans and not animals, dont you think the outcome would have been different? In my mind and in my heart, I feel that animals suffer ill-treatment no differently than their human counterparts...if this cruel man treats animals in this manner, God only knows what horrible crimes he perpetrates against friends, neighbors, family. I believe the punishment should match the crime, and this horrible man needs to rot in prison for his cruelty. The actions or the lack of such by police and other authorities need to be brought to light as well. How is it that this crime was not handled properly by them? Perhaps we need to look into replacing them with others that would do the job they were hired to do. It seems as if there are mishandled circumstances and situations galore in this sad mess. Or were they simply ignored? The public has the right to know, especially those poor families who lost their beloved pets because of it.
February 23, 2009 at 5:01 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
This is ridiculous-if this was a case involving people instead of dogs, there would be no red tape to contend with! These poor dogs should not have been treated any differently than human beings, this horrible, cruel man needs to be brought to justice, and there should be yet another search launched...what was the money & food given him by these dog's owners used for? Justice must be served here, PERIOD!
November 3, 2008 at 1:50 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
haman 633, you need to rethink your comment! I wonder how wonderful youd think this murderer is if one of these poor abused souls was your dog. Im amazed at your lack of empathy...
October 30, 2008 at 3:04 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
This is a travesty! As a veterinarian, I have never seen such horrific abuse in my many years of practice. This person needs to be formally charged, and he needs to spend some time hopefully in prison, to reflect upon choices he made. A slap on the wrist will not serve as restitutation for the heartbroken owners of these poor abused dogs. He must not be set free to perhaps do this again....please, we must get the word out there, we must help these poor people in any way we possibly can.

Bishan Singh Bedi welcomes Dalmiya's return as BCCI President
Bishan Singh Bedi knows the kind of influence Jagmohan Dalmiya can have on the game in India and the former India captain is confident that Dalmiya will do a fine job as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Bishan Singh Bedi
"I just hope his health will permit him to do the job earnestly" Bedi told mid-day yesterday.
"I have a lot of time for Dalmiya. He is an able administrator, who has headed the BCCI and ICC. He is very shrewd and unlike some other administrators, he has a cricketing background," said Bedi.
Despite what his critics say, Dalmiya always put his best foot forward for the development of Indian cricket and Bedi reckoned he would assert himself well: "He would also want to remove the blemishes against his name once and for all."
Newly-elected BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya speaks to reporters after the AGM in Chennai yesterday. Pic/PTI
He added: "BCCI is definitely in a hell of a mess and the Srinivasan influence is still floating around. It is to be seen how the Supreme Court views this.
He is still getting involved and has his finger in every pie which is certainly not desirable."

Football ace Lionel Messi [2] has dismissed rumours of a crisis at his club Barcelona [3] and said that the Spanish champions will keep their Champions League hopes alive with a rousing comeback at home against AC Milan [4] on Tuesday.
The crisis rumours have arose following Barcelona's 2-0 down from the first leg of their last-16 clash and head into the match after back-to-back defeats to arch-rivals Real Madrid, the Sun reports.
However, the Argentinian star said that the club is not under any crisis, adding that Barcelona has shown on many occasions that it is able to overcome any obstacle.
Admitting that they had been defeated by Milan and Madrid because of their lack of form, Messi said that they have got a second opportunity to beat Milan and move on to the next round of the Champions League.
Messi further said that Barcelona cannot afford to fail as it has to achieve a lot more this season. (ANI [5])

Bed, Bath & Beyond opening store in Athens
Construction has begun on an Athens store for national domestics retailer Bed, Bath & Beyond. The Bed, Bath & Beyond ``super store'' will be located on the eastern end of Athens Promenade shopping center, 3650 Atlanta Highway, the same center where Barnes & Noble bookstore and Old Navy operate and where Chuck E. Cheese's pizza restaurant is also under construction.
Bed, Bath & Beyond features floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with bed linens, bath accessories, kitchen items and home furnishings.
Chocolate Shoppe getting new owners
The year 2000 offers at least three major lifestyle changes for Sharon Mann and Dane Gunter. The couple got married the past week, and by the middle of March they will become business owners in Athens and move to the area.
The newlyweds plan to buy The Chocolate Shoppe from current owner Julie Adams, who wants more time with her children. The Gunters expect to take over the downtown business March 16.
Dane Gunter, who has worked as a paramedic at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta, said owning a bakery-like business has always been a dream of theirs. Sharon is a graduate of the University of Georgia, Gunter said, and when they heard The Chocolate Shoppe was for sale they looked at it and ``loved it.'' ``We decided that's where we would make our home and our life,'' he said.
Gunter said they will work with Adams a week before they buy the candy, sandwich and gift shop, and Adams will work with them a week after. They don't intend to make any changes in the business at the corner of E. Clayton Street and College Avenue.
Fisher opens private psychiatric office here
Dr. Edward J. Fisher Jr. M.D., the former director of Charter Winds in Athens, opened his private psychiatric practice Wednesday. Fisher will be a board-certified child/adolescent psychiatrist and has established his practice in the psychiatric offices of William Orr, M.D., located at 700 Sunset Dr., Building 200, Suite 202.
Fisher is a graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine. Following a pediatric internship, he completed his training in adult, child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
He has 25 years of outpatient, inpatient and administrative psychiatric experience, and moved to Athens in 1997 to serve as medical director of Charter Winds.
Rather than move on to another Charter position, Fisher and his family decided to remain in the Athens community. He will treat adult, child and adolescent patients.
His phone number is (706) 227-2006.
Consulting group adds partner, changes name
Athens based Armentrout, Roebuck & Company, P.C., an engineering, architectural and construction management firm, has changed its name to Armentrout Roebuck Matheny Consulting Group, P.C.
The name change reflects the incorporation of a new principal, David W. Matheny, AIA, who has served as director of architecture at the company since August 1997.
David Roebuck, P.E., C.C.M., president of the group, remarked that adding Matheny to the partnership will create a greater emphasis on architecture for the 13-year-old organization.
To celebrate the new partnership, the company will host an open house celebration March 16 from 4-7 p.m. at their offices, located in Oakbrook Corporate Campus at 330 Research Dr.
Along with the name change, the company has adopted a new logo, which is a structural, three-dimensional model of the globe.
Founded in 1987, the company has grown from five employees to a 30-member multi-discipline team of professionals providing services in the areas of architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, municipal engineering, construction management, design-build and surveying.
In directing the company's architectural services, Matheny offers more than 20 years of commercial, residential and industrial design experience. Prior to joining the firm, he served as the senior architect with the office of Campus Planning at the University of Georgia.
Walton EMC applies as natural gas marketer
Walton Electric Membership Corporation has applied to the Georgia Public Service Commission for certification as a natural gas marketer.
When Georgia's natural gas market was deregulated, Walton was one of nine electric membership corporations participating in agreements with Peachtree Natural Gas, and signed over 20,000 consumers for natural gas service.
Walton has financial backing for the venture from the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation of Herndon, Va. Enron North American Corporation of Houston, Texas, has agreed to provide a reliable gas supply and technical expertise in gas delivery.

Ben Clanton, in addition to being the nicest guy, also has a talent to envy. Ben was kind enough to tag me for a game of blog "it" for authors and illustrators with new books coming out. Here are the questions and my answers.
1) What is the working title of your next book?
Oliver and his alligator.
2) Where did the idea come from for the book?
My own first day in kindergarten. The teacher was sweet, but I didn't know why the other kids had to be there.
3) What genre does your book fall under?
Picture book.
4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
How I wish Fred Gwynne were still around to play the alligator!
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
On his first day of school, an anxious boy decides it would be prudent to bring an alligator along, just in case things at school get rough.
6) Who is publishing your book?
Disney-Hyperion on June 25th.
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
It's not the first draft you have to worry about, it's the next two or three dozen versions of it. I re-wrote the first sentence over 40 times!
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
None can compare.
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?
Maurice Sendak spoke often about children needing to explore their own fear. To protect them from this urge is merely self-indulgent on the part of adults. This quote from Maurice is especially relevant to what I wanted to address: "Children are tough, though we tend to think of them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize children, but they know what's real and what's not. They understand metaphor and symbol. If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous."
10) What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
My daughter has told me kids like any book where things get eaten. Just about everything gets eaten in this book.
Next up is the delightful and delightfully talented Jaime Temairik. You're it!

Egypt holidays at Jaz Makadi Golf Hotel, the resort of the Stars
With celebrities such as Mel B, Sarah Harding and Denise Van Outen having stayed at this luxury Egypt resort, we investigate into what makes this hotel so special and why it has become a favourite in the celeb world, and ultimately can we afford it?
Set upon lush acres of a golf course peppered with palm trees, the swanky Jaz Makadi Golf hotel invites elite worldwide travellers to spend luxury holidays in Egypt in a truly lavish fashion. One of the world's hippest hotels and certainly one of the most hyped about Egypt hotels, or so say the stars who frequent them, among them: Stephen Belafonte, Denise van Outen, Fearne Cotton and Sarah Harding who all stayed here while attending the renewal of vows of Mel B and husband (bride and groom also stayed at this hotel)
Polished to within an inch of its life, while this hotel might be in Egypt, it is not your typically Egypt holidays destination for sun and beach and it's definitely more about power showers than pharaohs.
Beautifully set amidst panoramic greenery, this hotel sits at the midst of a world championship golf course, with absolutely no other surroundings but miles and miles of landscaped green and blue golf water pools. If in the mood for a quick suntan however guests can sunbathe at the hotel's rooftop swimming pool or alternatively enjoy the private beach at nearby sister hotel Jaz Makadi Star & Spa. With that many options for relaxation no wonder stars choose this as their luxury holidays getaway!
Shaped like an ocean liner in pale sandstone, its 30s-style lobby, awash in white marble, leads to spiral staircases, bars and restaurants as well as a large swimming pool. While it is smaller than the usual Egypt hotels and resorts, with just 63 rooms and 10 suites, this makes a stay here more exclusive and intimate with all rooms featuring fully furnished with flat-screen TVs, snowy-white linen and floor-to-ceiling windows. More basic rooms have balconies, while the suites have terraces with their own private plunge pools.
And how about the location? Well this green gem lies tucked between the mountains and a desert, Madinat Makadi has declared itself Egypt's main golf resort and this hotel is directly beside the fairways. This means winter golfing made easy - and good value - with the Hurghada airport only a half-hour taxi ride away.
In keeping with its serious golfing purpose, there's no beach, although as we mentioned before guests can use the one at neighbouring Jaz Makadi Star Hotel, a short walk away.
While Madinat Makadi has a manufactured souk with restaurants, shops and clubs but this isn't the place to come for hard-core partying. But then who cares for that when you want to spend truly indulging and pampering luxury holidays at a top hotel? For nightlife action and authentic souk haggling guests can head to nearby Hurghada.
Non-golfers can entertain themselves windsurfing, camel or horse-riding. The main key attraction here? Why golfing of course! The hotel sits on an 18-hole, par 72 course designed by John Sanford and a 9-hole par-three course sits alongside the 7,500-yard Championship course with its saltwater lakes. There's also a driving range.
Last November, just over a year after they got married in Las Vegas, Mel B and husband Stephen Belafonte decided to retie the knot with a four-day celebration, during and after which they enjoyed some luxury holidays at this resort.
But is this hotel good enough for the rest of us (or rather shall we ask - affordable enough?) Well it's actually not too bad, you could be spending swanky Egypt holidays here with some special offers featuring a five-night break starting at £899, including return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation.

Fueled by the unbridled hatred of Mass Effect fans over trilogy's ending, EA cruised to victory in The Consumerist's voting to crown the Worst Company in America.
EA garnered more than 250,000 votes in an election no company wants to win. How much did voters hate the game publisher? In second place was Bank of America, a company several economists blame for contributing to the worldwide financial crisis.
EA walked away with 64 percent of the vote in a March Madness-inspired bracket vote that also included Sony, Apple and GameStop. This is Bank of America's second consecutive runner-up spot. Last year (2011), British Petroleum took top honors in the wake of its giant oil spill.
Buck up, BoA. There is always next year (unless you go out of business as rumored).
Does it seem trivial to vote for a game publisher over a bank with a front row seat for the mortgage meltdown? Certainly, and The Consumerist acknowledges as much. It warns that the attitude of "it's only a game" is precisely what allows EA to get away with unpopular policies.
The Consumerist notes that, while movies and music are taking steps to become more affordable and accessible, video game prices are only getting higher. Downloadable content has gone from a bonus included in a few games to the industry standard.
EA will win the not-so-coveted Golden Poo Award for its efforts, which is a trophy that looks like, well, you know. The publisher responded with a press release saying that all the bank presidents and oil companies not on the list should be relieved. It promised to continue making games that find an audience of more than 300 million people.
What, surely you didn't think EA would take this to heart and wonder how to better serve its angry customers?

I recently acquired a radio that operates on 4-1.5v D batteries. I have several rechargeable Aa and AAA batteries and a couple chargers. I couldn't find rechargeable D or chargers, so I started looking for alternatives at my local Wal-Mart . I knew that automatic deer feeders usually operate on 6 volt batteries (the big square ones), so over to the sporting goods I go. I picked up 3 of the rechargeable batteries and a 6 volt solar charger. The batteries were around $7 each and the charger less than $20. While in that section I found a raovac brand flashlight, the big square floating kind, with a battery for $3.96!
All I have to do now is make an adapter line from the spring post of the battery to the 6volt port on the radio then I'll be good to go. I was pretty excited about the flashlight find and plan on picking up a few more, as well as the rechargeable batteries and wall outlet charger.

A series of user-published Google maps point out known border patrol checkpoints and stations along the U.S. border with Mexico in an apparent effort to help illegal aliens avoid border controls.
One of the maps titled "Routes to Avoid," has close to 600,000 views. The user dropped pins at dozens of different checkpoints and border stations using "Google My Maps," a service that allows users to create and publish custom maps.
"These are known locations of known border patrol checkpoints some are permanent and some are temporary; these can be placed along stretches of highway near the border zone," reads the description of the map.
Each pin has a short description and sometimes a link to a relevant map or information about that location from the official Google Map. One of the pins is dropped at mile marker 54 on California Interstate 15, near Temecula.

VIDEO: Heisman Trophy Winner Johnny Manziel Visits CBS THIS MORNING
2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel discussed the NFL and his love for basketball in an interview with CBS News Special Correspondent Jeff Glor that was broadcast today, Dec. 11, 2012, on CBS THIS MORNING on the CBS Television Network (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM). Watch the interview in its entirety below!
Below are excerpts from the interview:
GLOR: When did you become such a big basketball fan?
MANZIEL: Probably when I got to college. Because in high school, my dad-my dad didn't let me play. Because baseball was the thing that I did. So it was football and then baseball. Basketball was in between, and it was hard to fit it in. So when I got to college and the rec center was there, go four times a week, three or four times a week.
GLOR: So everybody is talking about you and football. And you're secretly trying to watch as much basketball instead.
MANZIEL: I love basketball. I could sit there and watch NBA games all night.
MANZIEL: Things this year have been beyond what I ever thought they would be, as far as team-wise and individual. So coming back next year, it's just going to be fun. To go out and play and know that I have three more years left. It's such a blessing and a great opportunity to go out and have three more years to play the game that you love.<
GLOR: Do you want to play all three of those years?
MANZIEL: If that's-it will all be a decision that will be made down the road sometime. If the NFL does call, then you have to look at that.
MANZIEL: It's not all about size anymore. You don't have to be 6'5" and be a great pocket passer. You can be like RG3 and Russell Wilson and have some mobility and have some success.
GLOR: That said, the running quarterbacks-you expose yourself to more injuries potentially. RG3 was just hurt. Do you think about that?
MANZIEL: I do. There's a time when you need to know to get what you can get and try to be as smart as possible. You can't protect yourself every single time. If you look at Michael Vick, he takes a lot of shots and there's probably times where he should just know when you cut your losses, you get what you can get and you get down.

OverviewGeographical structure: Eastern Alps > Kamnik Alps group > Central group of Kamnik Alps.
The panorama of Kamnik Alps from Storzic. Velika Baba is on the left.
Velika Baba means in English big old ugly woman. But this is only the name. In fact Velika Baba is very nice mountain but is not the mountain for everyone. On its summit go two marked routes. Both routes are ferratas. But one of the ferratas is now closed because some years ago there was huge rockfall and the iron ropes and wedges were destroyed. In this rockfall some climbers were killed.
Velika Baba is located on the north side of the main ridge of Kamnik Alps group. It is on the border between the Slovenia and Austria. On the frontier is a border ridge that is on the north side of the main ridge of Kamnik Alps and it is connected with the main ridge from the two passes Jezersko sedlo (2034m) and Savinjsko sedlo (2001m). From these two passes reaches up the huge Kriz (Koroska Rinka) (2433m). This border ridge comes from the border crossing Jezersko sedlo (pass) (1218m) from the NW side and goes all the time higher and higher over some important peaks to the Jezersko and Savinjsko sedlo where turns to the NE direction and continues over the hardest approachable mountain in Kamnik Alps group Mrzla gora (2203m) and some more important mountains to the village Solcava. From the border crossing Jezersko sedlo (pass) (1218m) to the Jezersko sedlo (pass) (2034m) are mountains: Zeleni vrh (1628m), Goli vrh (1788m) (that is very nice mountain and easy approachable from the Slovenian side from the valley Ravenska Kocna), Mala Baba (2018m), Velika Baba (2127m), Ledinski vrh (2108m) and a small and airy pyramid Storzek.
Velika Baba is from the top connected in the NW direction with its ½small sister½ Mala Baba. You reach the summit of Mala Baba if you go on Velika Baba over the NW ridge from the meadow Jenkova planina (1494m). On the E and NE side fall from the summit of Velika Baba around 300 meters high faces in to the big valley Belska Kocna/Vellacher Kotschuta (Austrian side). On the W and SW side fall bigger and more popular faces for climbing in the big valley Ravenska Kocna. From the summit is in the SE direction Velika Baba connected over the small pass Sedlo pod Babo (1989m) with Ledinski vrh. On the NE side of Ledinski vrh goes the normal approach on Velika Baba from the Jezersko sedlo (pass) and you reach the Sedlo pod Babo (pass). Now you cannot climb over the ferrata in the west face of Ledinski vrh on the Sedlo pod Babo (pass).
Velika Baba is not an easy mountain and if you want to reach the summit of it you must be good climber used to climb on ferratas. The best and the most popular possibility for reaching the Velika Baba is from the Ravenska Kocna over the Kranjska koca na Ledinah (hut) (1700m) and then over the Jezersko sedlo (pass) to the top.
Goli vrhFrom Velika and Mala Baba towards the north a strong ridge goes down to Jenkova planina (meadow). Further towards the NW of Jenkova planina Goli vrh, 1787 m rises. This summit would be totally unimportant, if it was not offering such a nice panorama. All Kamnik Alps are arranged on the south and the view flies freely on the other directions. From Jenkova planina it can be reached by a marked path in less than 1 h (290 m), from the road down in the valley in 2 h (from Vellacher Kocna in less than 3 h). Actually there are two paths, the longer one returns back to Jenkova planina by the Austrian side, but it can be hardly traced.
So, Goli vrh can be a premium goal for a winter ascent or a late afternoon hike.
The ridge further towards NW goes over a forrested Zeleni vrh, 1622 m, and down to Jezerski vrh / Seeberg Sattel pass, 1218 m. It seems that this ridge has no evident path.
Thanks to Vid.
Getting There
The map of the Central part of Kamnik Alps. You can see Velika Baba on the map.
For a better overview see check the page of Kamnik Alps GROUP.
Velika Baba is easily accesible from the main road Ljubljana - Kranj - Jezersko (Austrian border). Jezersko sedlo (pass) is also approachable from the Austria from the village Vellach/Bela (844m). From the village Jezersko you drive in the valley Ravenska Kocna and you drive over the macadam road to the parking place. In Winter season you should park before the end of the route.

Routes OverviewMarked routes:
Velika Baba is approachble over two marked routes. Both routes are hard and are only for good climbers.
NW ridge from the meadow Jenkova planina (1494m)
SE ridge from the Jezersko sedlo (pass)
Climbing routes:
Nova Centralna smer. UIAA IV, 700m. (SW face)
In Winter season many snow ravines all of difficulties.
There are also many other climbing routes but they are not so popular.
Red TapeNo limitations but please take care of nature.
When To ClimbThe best time for climbing on Velika Baba over the marked routes is from June to October or when is snowless. It is the same thing for climbing in the faces.
For the Winter ascents is the best time when there is many snow in ravines and there is no avalanche risk.
You can also climb on some nice waterfalls.
Camping and hutsIn valleys there are many tourist resorts.
You can find a lot of places for camping in valleys.

Mudslinging rises as election nears
Robocalls, bogus letters, billboards — with less than a week to go, Democrats and Republicans are stepping up charges of dirty tricks in battleground states crucial to each candidate's road to the White House.
In Florida, voters reported robocalls about a fake debate between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, JTA reported Tuesday. The debate never happened, and it prompted the Obama campaign's Marie Harf to denounce the robocall in a Tweet Tuesday:
New GOP robocall on Israel is 100% fictional. This kind of deceitful tactic is cynical — and it's bad for Israel: bit.ly/S7R4Ta— Marie Harf (@marieharf) October 30, 2012
Story Continued Below
Also in Florida, FBI and state authorities are investigating letters marked with a county election supervisor's letterhead. The fake letters state: "A nonregistered voter who casts a vote in the State of Florida may be subject to arrest, imprisonment, and/or other criminal sanctions," CBS reported Monday. And there are reports of a strange documentary showing up in voters' mailboxes that questions Obama's father's identity, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
Senior citizens in Virginia said they had been receiving phone calls from scammers who told them they could cast a ballot through the phone, prompting Virginia's State Board of Elections to issue a release debunking it, according to CBS.
More than 100 billboards in Wisconsin and Ohio were plastered with: "Voter fraud is a felony! Up to 3½ yrs & $10,000 fine," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday. Democratic critics said it was a tactic aimed to suppress left-leaning urban voters. Clear Channel, which owned the billboards, eventually removed the ads, according to the Journal Sentinel. Similar billboards were put up in Pennsylvania.
In southern New Hampshire, town officials reported that some voters have received fake absentee ballots and voter applications, causing voter confusion and prompting election officials to have an increased work load during an already busy homestretch of the campaign season, according to The Eagle-Tribune.
Meanwhile, congressional races also have seen mudslinging. In the open race for the 12th District of Illinois, GOP candidate Jason Plummer faces accusations that he committed voter fraud when he voted for himself in the primary; meanwhile, his Democratic opponent Bill Enyart is accused of pushing a female judge during a parade earlier this month, southern-Illinois' ABC affiliate WSIL-TV reported Monday.

Yet another clip from the comedy "Take me Home Tonight", which promises to bring back some bad (or good, depending on your perspective) memories of the '80s. Hey, it beats the '70s, right? I mean, bell bottoms. Discos. Brrrrrrr.
It's the late 1980s, when Wall Street is riding high, and it seems as if the entire country is cashing in on the bumper profits. Disgusted with the materialism that surrounds him, Matt Franklin, a brilliant young MIT graduate, has walked out on his well-paid position at a local lab and taken a low-level job as a video clerk, much to his father Bill's consternation. And the crises keep piling up in Matt's life. His best buddy Barry has just gotten fired from his job, his brainy sister Wendy is getting hitched to her vapid boyfriend Kyle, and the gorgeous Tori Frederking, long-time object of Matt's unattainable adoration, is suddenly back in the picture. Now, on one wild, woolly and irresponsible evening, everything is coming to a head, with explosive results.
Starring Teresa Palmer, Anna Faris, Topher Grace, Michelle Trachtenberg, Lucy Punch, Michael Biehn, Chris Pratt, Nathalie Kelley, Dan Fogler, Robert Hoffman, Angie Everhart and directed by Michael Dowse.

Review for International Institute of Metropolitan St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA
Hundreds of Education students from Meramec Community College tutored at the International Institute for many years. They began this experience because they observed in traditional K12 Schools that ESL students were being marginalized by their teachers. This experience with the Institute gave them the opportunity to work with students from other countries before they got into their own classroom and gave them both sensitivity and awareness. Communications students at Meramec went on field trips with II clients as well to learn about communication among cultures. Our partnership with the Institute has given our students real world experience that they will never forget.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Meramec students now understand what it's like to be an immigrant or refuge and navigate a new culture.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Daredevil #1
And that right there is the dadgum prettiest cover I've seen in a couple weeks. If you can't see it clearly enough, the entire background is made up entirely of sound effects -- the skyscrapers and streets are made of "HONK"s and "SKREEE"s and "WHOOSH"es, the water tower is made of "GLUG"s and "DRIP"s, and the pigeons are made of "FLAP"s and "COO"s. It's an outstanding piece of work.
Inside, we get a new introduction to the Man Without Fear, as he prepares to crash a Mafia wedding. He's heard a rumor that someone is planning a hit on someone in the wedding party, and Daredevil's enhanced senses allow him to track the supervillain named Spot as he gets ready to kidnap the don's granddaughter. Daredevil is able to keep the little girl out of the teleporter's grasp, but the mobsters think DD is the kidnapper. Of course, he eventually stops the bad guys (and lays a killer liplock on the bride), and then has to face the major struggle -- everyone in New York knows that Matt Murdock is really Daredevil, and it's making it impossible for him to keep any courtroom clients.
Verdict: Thumbs up. This is a seriously brilliant comic. We get new insights into what it's like to live with Daredevil's vastly enhanced senses, particularly his radar sense. We get jaw-dropping action, outstanding dialogue and characterization, clever humor, you name it. Writer Mark Waid completely kills both stories in this issue, and artists Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin may be even better -- the artwork is simply amazing. Better start picking this one up now -- we may be seeing the beginning of one of the greats.
Xombi #5
The villainous Roland Finch has taken over the Ninth Stronghold, a giant floating city made out of the skull of a Biblical giant, and he plans to either take over the other floating strongholds or destroy them. David Kim and his allies must prepare to chase down Finch, lay siege to the Ninth Stronghold, and somehow oust him before he causes more destruction. Can they do it?
Verdict: Thumbs up. Frazer Irving's art continues to wildly impress, and John Rozum's writing continues to blow minds. This is a story with a wealth of wild ideas, from the immense Nephilim, the giants of the Old Testament, whose bones are used to build the Skull Stronghold, to the brief hints of the magical wonders common to all of the strongholds, to David's struggles with his own immortality and the knowledge that his girlfriend may reject him for it. It's deeply disappointing that this series will be cancelled after the next issue, because weirdness this wonderful is certainly something that only comics really do well...

VERY long php-script crashes
Hi all,
I've found some forum posts regarding this subject around the web, but nothing really seems to hit the spot. I thought I'd ask the pros.
I have a php-script. A very, VERY long php-script. It basically retrieves a bunch of info from my MySQL-db, creates a pdf (using fpdf) with the info and then outputs the pdf as a file to my server... the script does this about a 1000 times (and this number will only increase in the future).
The problem is that after about 400 rounds the browser (I'm using Chrome as a rule but the problem persist with all major browsers) returns the "No data recieved"-error and stops the script.
My logic tell me that this is either the server taking too long or the browser panicking about not getting anything back from the server.
I've tried to solve the first of my thought by adding
PHP Code:
Of relevant information I might add that my site is hosted with a third-party hosting company. Also they run PHP4 (don't worry, I'm already trying to change my host to one that runs PHP5.
What do I do about my script to make is stop crash?
Best regards and thanks in advance,

Two more options is that the script has received an abort from the client (browser issue), and you have run out of available memory to work with.
To trouble shoot this, I'd take it down to a local machine which has PHP available, and run it from the command line. If it works, than it's likely a browser issue. If it doesn't work, then it should give you an error which if I had to guess would be memory.
This may also be an issue with simply the PHP4 version.PHP Code:
header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm');
