Summerville Civic Ballet will perform Hansel & Gretel at 7 p.m. April 27 at Summerville High School.
Tickets for the show are $5 in advance or $7 at the door. Children under the age of 5 are admitted free. Other works by the ballet company will also be performed that evening.
The newly created organization is a non-profit ballet company dedicated to giving ballet students performance opportunities and bringing the art of ballet out into the community, specifically to audiences who may not ordinarily see dance.
The project was funded in part by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs and the City of North Charleston Cultural Arts Program through their joint administration of the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant Program and the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation of SC.
The Artistic Director of Summerville Civic Ballet is Douglas Smoak. He trained and performed with Robert Ivey Ballet in Charleston, attended UNC School of the Arts and danced professionally with Ballet Eddy Toussaint, Sarasota Ballet, and Nevada Dance Theatre.
The company will also perform at a number of other upcoming events. At noon on May 4 it will perform during the North Charleston Arts Festival.
The company is currently operating out of United We Dance, located on Bacons Bridge Road in Summerville. For more information visit the organization's website at www.summervillecivicballet.com or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fresh sweet corn is a symbol of summer in America, and a staple in every garden and at every roadside stand. Johnny's collaborates with independent sweet corn breeding companies, trialing many varieties each year. From this trialing, we have selected a small, high-quality assortment of corn that combines superior eating quality, wide adaptability, and ease of growing. All of our sweet corn varieties are excellent for home use, as well as for retail sales — where high quality sets you apart from the competition.
To compare days to maturity, type, ear length, plant height, kernal row count, flavor, soil temperature at planting (treated seed only), and disease resistance, refer to our Sweet Corn Varieties Comparison Chart.

Love Nick for his fights and entertainment value, however, based on recent rumour GSP will be retired before he is ever close to a title shot again.
If Nick is only looking for big fights at this point in his career, I think he's going to be sorely disappointed. I do think there are a number of great matches for him and fights I'd love to see. All depends on him getting his shit together.

A local Downtown Aiken restaurant was featured on a national television news station.
Betsy's on the Corner was part of a recent Fox News story on the growing trend of old-fashioned diners. The story also looked at restaurants in Kentucky and Georgia.
Owner Betsy Simon was interviewed for the story and told Fox News reporters that her restaurant was inspired by "Aiken's small-town feel."
"It was such an honor and it was quite a surprise," Simon said on Friday. "I'm still not sure how they heard about us. It's phenomenal."
Betsy's, located at 159 Laurens St. N.W., serves burgers, hot dogs, fries, soups, salads, sandwiches, milkshakes, sundaes, malts and more.

VMware Fusion and Fusion Pro FAQs
What programs can I run with VMware Fusion?
VMware Fusion lets you run more than 200 operating systems as virtual machines, including Windows XP through Windows 8. Nearly all programs that run on these operating systems will run with VMware Fusion. Programs can range from common productivity suites such as Microsoft Office for Windows, to graphic intensive programs such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
Can I play 3D games in a virtual machine?
Yes, VMware Fusion 7 has 3D accelerated graphics support, allowing you to play most games that require DirectX 9.0c with Shader Model 3 or OpenGL 2.1 in Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 virtual machines.
Do I need Apple's Boot Camp to install VMware Fusion?
Boot Camp is not required to run Windows on a Mac with VMware Fusion. However, if you already have Windows installed as a Boot Camp partition, VMware Fusion can easily create a Windows virtual machine based on your Boot Camp Windows installation. This will allow you to run Windows programs side-by-side with your Mac applications without having to reboot your Mac.
Can I migrate Parallels Desktop for Mac virtual machines to VMware Fusion?
Yes. VMware Fusion 7 can easily import Parallels Desktop for Mac (versions 2.5 through 9) based virtual machines. Simply launch VMware Fusion, go to the File menu and select Import, select your virtual machine setting's file and click Import.
Will VMware Fusion 7 slow down my Mac?
In typical use cases, VMware Fusion 7 has little to no impact on your Mac's overall performance. The impact on performance will mainly depend on the amount of applications and virtual machines running at the same time, and how much RAM is available on your Mac.
See VMware Fusion system requirements for details.
Can I access and use USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices?
Yes, you can use the vast majority of USB 2.0 devices without additional setup required, such as video cameras, external hard drives, GPS devices, and much more in a virtual machine. USB 3.0 devices can also be accessed and used in Windows 8 or higher virtual machines.
Does VMware Fusion 7 support the new Retina display Macs?
Yes, VMware Fusion 7 supports new Retina display Macs for a crisp and detailed experience of your Windows programs.
Can I use multiple displays with VMware Fusion?
Yes, VMware Fusion 7 supports up to 10 displays in both full screen and Unity views.
Can I access FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drives in Windows?
Yes, you can access your FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drives in VMware Fusion by mapping the hard drive to a VMware Shared Folder. Go to the Virtual Machine menu, select Shared Folders and select Add Shared Folder. Select your FireWire hard drive and click Open to assign your FireWire disk to the shared folder. To access your FireWire hard drive in Windows, go to VMware Shared Folders shortcut on the desktop and select your FireWire hard disk.
How many CPUs can I assign to a virtual machine?
You can assign up to 16 Virtual CPUs to a Fusion 7 virtual machine, so the virtual machine can harness the full power of a Mac using the latest Intel processors. Multiple Virtual CPUs are recommended when you have applications that can take advantage of multiple processor cores and you have a multi-core Mac.
Can I convert my old Windows PC into a virtual machine for VMware Fusion?
Yes, VMware Fusion includes a simple Migration Assistant for Windows that allows you to quickly and easily move your entire PC to your Mac as a virtual machine. Install a simple application on your PC, connect it to your Mac, and VMware Fusion will detect your PC and take care of the rest.
Do I need a copy of Windows to run VMware Fusion?
VMware Fusion requires the installation of an operating system in order to function. The operating system is not included with the purchase of VMware Fusion. You can either migrate an existing copy of Windows from your old PC or install a new one. In order to run a Windows virtual machine, you must have a licensed copy of that Windows operating system or purchase a new Windows license.
Can I use the Windows operating system that came with my PC?
VMware Fusion includes a simple Migration Assistant for Windows that allows you to quickly and easily bring your entire PC to your Mac as a virtual machine. Whether you can legally use a copy of Windows from an existing physical machine depends on the licensing surrounding that copy of Windows. Please consult the license agreement that came with the version of Windows included with your PC for more details.
Can I use an OEM version of Windows with VMware Fusion?
Many OEM Windows DVDs are tied to specific hardware and will not work with VMware Fusion. Whether you can legally use a copy of Windows from an existing physical machine depends on the licensing surrounding that copy of Windows. Please consult the license agreement that came with the version of Windows included with your PC for more details.
Can I run multiple virtual machines on a Mac at the same time?
Yes, you can run as many virtual machines concurrently with VMware Fusion 7 as your system's RAM will support. In fact, VMware Fusion leverages patented memory-sharing techniques to drastically reduce the memory required to run multiple virtual machines at the same time.
How many virtual machines can I create from a single VMware Fusion license?
You can create an unlimited number of virtual machines from a single VMware Fusion license. You will need to provide the required operating system software and license for each installation of a virtual machine.
Can I run 64-bit virtual machines?
Yes, VMware Fusion allows you to create and run 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines. However, you can only run 64-bit guest operating systems on Macs with 64-bit Intel processors (Core 2 Duo, Xeon or later processors).
Can I use virtual machines created by VMware Workstation or VMware Player Pro with VMware Fusion?
Yes, VMware virtual machines are fully compatible across the product line. Virtual machines created with Workstation or Player can run on VMware Fusion.
Will running Windows on my Mac expose my Mac to viruses?
By default, virtual machines are isolated from each other and don't have access to the Mac. Although very unlikely, if Mirrored Folders are enabled, there is the potential to expose the Mac's documents, desktop, music and pictures folders to potential viruses from Windows.
New VMware Fusion 7 customers get a 90 day complimentary subscription to McAfee Anti-Virus Plus to protect their Windows virtual machines from viruses.
If you don't want to install Windows antivirus software and are concerned about security, it is advisable to not enable read/write shared folders between your Windows guest virtual machine and the Mac. Read-only shared folders will not allow Windows to change or delete data on your Mac.
What is included in my McAfee Anti-Virus Plus complimentary subscription?
The included McAfee Anti-Virus Plus complimentary subscription is for new VMware Fusion customers and covers one virtual machine for 90 days. If you want to install it in more than one virtual machine, you can purchase additional licenses of McAfee Anti-Virus Plus by visiting the McAfee web site.
What do I do when my McAfee Anti-Virus Plus subscription expires?
When the subscription expires, McAfee Anti-Virus Plus will prompt you to renew your subscription. To renew your subscription, visit the McAfee web site.
What if I want to put McAfee Anti-Virus Plus on more than one virtual machine?
Your complimentary subscription covers one McAfee Anti-Virus Plus install on one virtual machine for 90 days. You can purchase more licenses of McAfee Anti-Virus Plus for your additional virtual machines by visiting the McAfee web site.

Arizona shoppers pack stores in annual buying rush
PHOENIX � Shoppers flocked to malls and other retailers across Arizona for huge bargains in the annual post-Thanksgiving buying frenzy known as Black Friday, with many following retailers who decided to get a jump on the day by opening Thursday night.
Some retailers in Phoenix had huge lines snaking around their stores early Friday, with video taken by a KTVK-TV helicopter showing throngs crowded around the entrance to a north Phoenix Fry's Electronics store as the doors swung wide before dawn. That same rush was repeated at major retailers like Target and Wal-Mart across Arizona, which both opened Thursday night.
Both KTVK and the Arizona Republic reported that shoppers seemed less hurried during Friday's shopping than in some cases in earlier years.
Among the big draws were computers, video games and flat-screen TVs were among the more popular items, but less expensive goods also drew shoppers.
The early openings on Thursday drew Nancy Miner and Susan Bondy of Scottsdale to a Toys R Us in north Phoenix Thursday night. The great grandmothers and close friends told the Republic they had long shopping lists � between the two they have 21 grandchildren, four great grandchildren and two adopted special-needs teens � but they planned to be done by daylight Friday.
They said they appreciated not having to wake up at 4 a.m. to go bargain hunting.
Chris Ras, a Target manager in Tempe, said his company intentionally made sure there were plenty of deals left for shoppers who either didn't want to go to shop late Thursday or get up early on Friday.
But those looking for big-item doorbuster sales still had to wait it out.
Velbeth Reyes, a 33-year-old from Mesa resident, camped out at a Phoenix-area Best Buy for three days.
When the store's doors opened at midnight, Reyes was one of just 15 customers able to buy a 55-inch television for $799.
"I didn't want to take a risk," Reyes told the Republic. "Our TV broke down in the summer. But we've been waiting because we knew we would find a deal on Black Friday."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
What to Expect in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 3, Episode 4, "Uh Oh, Somebody's Crying" — a Sneak Peek Roundup
After last week's almost drama-free dinner party at Yolanda Foster's house — we said almost! — we were beginning to wonder what happened to the RHoBH ladies of yore. But don't worry, based on the previews for the next episode, the drama is back! Here's a roundup of sneak peeks to get you all set before Monday night's episode!
First off, it's finally time for Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump to sit down and (hopefully) hash out their problems. From the looks of this clip, Adrienne is doing most of the talking...
At another sit-down dinner, what seems to be a candid talk between enemies Brandi Glanville and Kim Richards turns into a cry-fest, as Kim starts balling. Then Adrienne has to get involved, and Brandi ends up telling her where to put it. Gasp!
This sneak peek gives you a closer look at the snipes and zingers in this episode. So far, Kyle wins with her "I know who's sleeping here" comment!

Multi-Zipper Paula Dress
Style # 226121
Perfect going-away dress. Embark on some serious wanderlust in this bodice-zipped dress that really sparks because of its halterneck and crossover straps. Ultra bourgeoisie with a handbag carried only at the wrist.
- 45% Cotton, 45% polyamide, 7% spandex
- Hand wash
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 36" (91 cm)
- Model is 5'10" and wears a US size 6
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by BebeDiva Awesome dress. This dress is very flattering. I did size up as suggested to a 12 and still tight in the bust though. I will wear it anyway, the style rocks the zipper does lay flat all the way down and it oozes class. Even the length is good. The material is great also. June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bebeaddict719 Must have This dress is perfect for the spring/ summer! You could wear it from day to night. I'm usually a size 2, but needed a size 4 in this dress. I suggest ordering a size up. Material is great, I did have a problem with the zipper though. Definitely a must have in your closet! February 25, 2014

Which is too bad. The Irish Times loved The Pen Friend:
But while he mocks himself and his hero's overaesthetic world-view – "it's all a bit of tautology really, or codology" – there is a constant current of ethical seriousness running through the book. In a sense The Pen Friend is both a protest against and an alternative to the North's recent murderous history. As Gabriel says, not very confidently, "living with beautiful things must necessarily work against narrow sectarian interests".
To live with a beautiful thing, it first has to be created. This novel is an original creation. Technically complex but oddly simple, arcanely informative, humorously puzzling, sensible, sensational, compassionate, it deserves to win whatever prizes are going. For the Man Booker jury, here's a book and a man.
I loved the book, too, although I'm skeptical that a novel as singular and idiosyncratic as this one will win a Booker. One can hope.

Fire leaves two families homelessMay 13,2013ST. JOHNSBURY — The American Red Cross says it's come to the aid of two families living in a building damaged by an early-morning fire Sunday in St. Johnsbury.

Vancouver Apple store robbed by bear spray wielding thieves
The Vancouver Apple was robbed on Monday evening by three men armed with bear spray. Bear spray, also known as pepper spray is used to fend off bear attacks and is equally effective against humans. The men stormed into the open store and hit around 40 people with the spray causing mayhem and confusion. The men made off with iPods, iPads and laptops from the display areas.
The attack occurred just before 7 p.m., as approximately 40 customers were in the store, according to a statement from Vancouver Police. Five would need to be treated by paramedics for exposure to the chemical, whose active ingredient is derived from cayenne peppers.
Nearby Vancouver Police K9 units were on scene moments after the attack. Although they were unable to find the three males suspects, they discovered a quantity of product discarded by the men as they made their escape. The trio reportedly fled by car.
For hours after the event, the malls of Vancouver's Oak Ridge mall were still filled with the stench of the bear spray. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt in the incident this time with only minor injuries caused by the pepper spray.
Apple stores are always a popular target for thieves and on New Year's Eve last year, the Paris Apple Store was the subject of an armed robbery where thieves were thought to have got away with more than a million dollars of Apple products. This one was a much smaller scale robbery.

Vancouver Apple store robbed by bear spray wielding thieves
We need a ban on all bear spray type devices. Large pepper grinders should also be on the list (anything that holds over 30 peppercorns). This kind of tragedy recently happened at my local Walmart, and dozens have suffered needlessly.
Lol love it!
The only defense against a bad guy with bear spray is a good guy with bear spray!

The new MUSC Health East Cooper facility has earned LEED certification through the United States Green Building Council. LEED or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. Stubbs Muldrow Herin architects led the design team for this 84,000 square foot integrated specialty clinic that had two primary sustainable goals. One was to create an environment using materials that would promote healing; a concept consistent with the client's mission. Secondly, a high efficiency ice storage HVAC system was incorporated, which lowers operational costs of the facility while providing exceptional internal environment controllability.
The facility was constructed with materials that were sourced locally, had recycled content and/or low VOC content where possible.

Fort Dorchester recently lost the coach that built the Patriot wrestling team into a championship program but his replacement is cut from the same cloth.
B.D. LaPrad, who led the Patriots to two state championships and several other state-finals appearances, has left Fort Dorchester to take a position at River Bluff High School in Lexington. The coach cited an offer too good to pass up and the fact that he has family in the area as the driving forces behind his decision.
His son, Ben LaPrad, has taken over as the head coach for the Fort wrestling program.
"We hate losing B.D. because he did such a great job for us but Ben has been his assistant coach for several years so we feel it will be a smooth transition," Fort Dorchester Athletic Director Steve LaPrad said.
Ben LaPrad joined the Patriot coaching staff nine years ago so he was a part of both state championship teams (2006-07 and 2009-10). Prior to that, he was an accomplished college and high school wrestler.
Despite breaking his arm and missing most of his sophomore season at Dutch Fork High School he tallied nearly 160 wins on the mat. He earned an individual state wrestling championship in the 130-pound weight class in his final year with the Silver Foxes and was named the 1988-99 Class AAAA Senior Wrestler of the Year.
He earned a wrestling scholarship and went on to wrestle at both Iowa Central College and Anderson College. After working his way into a Top 10 Division II ranking, an injury cut his wrestling career short.
Considering the success the Patriot program has experienced in recent years he knows the expectations for him will be high but LaPrad says he is excited about taking over for his father.
"I wasn't certain the school was going to offer me the position so I'm glad they did," LaPrad said. "I feel honored they want me to take over. I've really enjoyed working with the kids here. I think Fort Dorchester is a special place and it takes a special kind of coach to get the job done here. There is pressure on me but I think I deal well with pressure so I'm excited to see what happens."
He comes from a family rich in wrestling history. In addition to the titles at Fort Dorchester, his father coached state championship teams at Irmo and Dutch Fork. His uncle (Steve LaPrad) coached the Summerville wrestling team to several state titles and is a former collegiate All-American. His cousin and assistant wrestling coach, Brent LaPrad, was a state-champion high school wrestler and has also been around the sport his entire life. His brother-in-law is also a wrestling coach.
Fort Dorchester has added two-time All-American wrestler and three-time high school champion Darrel Brown as an assistant coach so there will be no shortage of places for LaPrad to turn to for advice.
"The years I spent wrestling for my dad and coaching with him are definitely going to help me and I've been fortunate to have been around a lot of good people who I've learned from," LaPrad said. "They have taught me what it takes to compete at a high level."
Of course, he wants to put his own stamp on the Patriot program.
"There is nothing my dad did that I wouldn't do but I think I will relate to the kids in a different way," he said. "I'm younger and have a different way of explaining things so I'm hoping the wrestlers will respond well to it. We have a good group of guys so if we put our heads down and work hard we should do well. We have an All-American coming back, some wrestlers who were injured last season and some promising young guys so we are setting high goals."

Dissociation in a Tubular Reactor
Application ID: 221
Tubular reactors are often used in continuous large-scale production, for example in the petroleum industry. One key design and optimization parameter is the conversion, or the amount of reactant that reacts to form the desired product. In order to achieve high conversion, process engineers optimize the reactor design: its length, width and heating system. An accurate reactor model is a very useful tool, both at the design stage and in tuning an existing reactor.
This example deals with a gas-phase dissociation process, species A reacts to form B. First, the conversion and reaction distribution is modeled as an isothermal tubular reactor under steady-state conditions. Secondly, the temperature dependence of the reaction kinetics are included and the changes in reaction distribution and conversion are studied.
This model illustrates several attractive features in the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module:
- The use of the Transport of Concentrated Species to account for multicomponent diffusion.
- How to couple the variable density to a Laminar Flow interface.
- Implementation of temperature- and composition-dependent reaction kinetics.
- The use of a mapped mesh, which is structured, to discretize a long and thin geometry, typical for tubular reactors
- The setup of heat balances and how to couple these to both the mass balances and the velocity field

Test ID: LN
Chromosome Analysis, Lymphoid Tissue
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assisting in the classification of certain cases of lymphoma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chromosomal abnormalities play a central role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and monitoring of treatment of many hematologic disorders.
The observation of a chromosomally abnormal clone is consistent with a clonal neoplastic process.
Certain chromosome abnormalities can help classify the type of lymphoma. For example, t(14;18)(q32;q21.3) involving the IGH and BCL2 genes is usually indicative of a follicular lymphoma. A translocation between C-MYC and IGH genes or a t(8;14)(q24.1;q32) are both associated with Burkitt's lymphoma.
Cytogenetic studies often can help distinguish between B-cell and T-cell disorders. Structural abnormalities involving breakpoints at any immunoglobulin locus is consistent with a B-cell disorder; structural abnormalities involving breakpoints at a T-cell receptor site are usually associated with a T-cell disorder.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
46,XX or 46,XY. No apparent chromosome abnormality.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The observation of a chromosomally abnormal clone is evidence of a clonal neoplastic process.
Certain chromosome abnormalities also may be associated with certain morphologic classifications. However, a normal karyotype does not eliminate the possibility of a neoplastic process.
On rare occasions, the presence of an abnormality may be associated with a congenital abnormality that is not related to a malignant neoplastic process. Follow-up with a medical genetics consultation is recommended.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Interfering factors
-Lack of viable cells
-Bacterial contamination
-Cell death due to failure to transport tissue in appropriate media
-Excessive transport time
-Exposure of the specimen to temperature extremes (freezing or >30 degrees C)
-Specimen has been stored or treated with formalin or another fixative or is paraffin-embedded
-Normal cells in the specimen may grow better in culture than tumor cells and interfere with the cytogenetic studies
-Mitogen-stimulation of normal lymphocytes rather than malignant lymphocytes, in the culture process
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Recipe courtesy of Joyce Goldstein
Serves 8
Skordalia is a sauce typically used on fish or vegetables in Greece. Some recipes call for walnuts instead of almonds. Use what you like but be sure to toast the walnuts to enhance their rich, nutty flavor. Some recipes also call for yogurt. You can turn this into a wonderful dip for raw vegetables by adding some Greek yogurt.
- 1 cup almonds, toasted
- ½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs, fresh
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ to ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Combine almonds, bread, garlic, and a little salt in the container of a food processor and pulse a few times.
Add vinegar and then oil a few drops at a time until the mixture is thick, creamy, and holds its shape when dropped from a spoon.

strange game
There's a lot to say about the larger issue in Wilkinson's post; we are all living in a time of partial internationalisms, which produce rhetorical and theoretical outcomes that are always schizophrenic and often tragic. (There's a class of politico out there that thinks the only way to show respect for the needs of Indonesian mill workers is to demonstrate total callousness towards unemployed Detroit factory workers, and that's cosmopolitanism!) But that's an issue for another day.
No, for this particular quote, I just want to say-- these children may not grow up in living fear of total nuclear annihilation, but they still grow up under the danger of total nuclear annihilation. There are still enough active nuclear weapons in the world to render much of it an apocalyptic wasteland. I'm glad that scenario feels farther off then it did when I was a child, but please. As long as the impediment to such a scenario is human discretion and human virtue, our ticket is close to being punched.

I think what makes things different for (western)children now isn't the risk - in fact it may be greater, given the Iranians, Nth Koreans, and the equally(more-so?) trigger-happy war hawks of America, Israel, Russia...
No, the risk is the same or greater.
The difference is the media. The media have by and large made war bloodless, nuclear annihilation a computer game for some, a patriotic necessary risk cloaked in the flag for others, and something that happens only to those who 'deserve it'(meaning, for many in the U.S, Arabs).
Maybe what I just said is all political bunk - but the media have most certainly tamed all war to the point even American and Israeli children can feel OK saying that we ought to 'nuke' this or that culture back to the stone age, even get a congratulatory slap on the back by mom or dad for their comment.
It's just not a fear that parents want their kids to have(though some are OK with their kids wanting it for others), nor is it one politicians want their constituents to have(same again: they are OK with their constituents wishing it on others).
In America, the media gives it to them.
But believe me: in countries where journalism is till a valued and honorable profession, and in some other countries who are constantly under attack either verbally, militarily or both: children are still fearful - especially in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, who are regularly threatened by leading American(& some Russian) politicians with being wiped out.
They of course are playing to their war hawk consistencies(who also are convinced, it seems, that war has no negative consequences for them) - but those threatened, hear it.
They see a very bleak future.
Big surprise they are easily manipulated into fighting with little chance of survival, some even very easily manipulated into becoming suicide bombers. These kids have lived their entire conscious lives being threatened - daily - with annihilation; nuclear and otherwise. And they believe it: it's common knowledge, for example, that kids get shot in Palestine when sitting in their classrooms studying, or when playing outside in the schoolyard. This is life for them - ;fear' is something that is normal for them. And we blame them when they grow up and become what we call 'Terrorists'?

I disagree.
Now I allow that the weapons are still out there, enough to blow the planet to kibble easily. But I would submit that there are fewer now than there were. A lot fewer. And they are being stored and maintained in a more controlled and less readily used fashion. Objectively the world is further from nuclear destruction than it was in the past. A lot further. The previous nuclear terror was like two men blindfolded, hopped up on cocaine with guns in their hands at each others temples. The current scenario is more like the same two men soberly sitting in chairs in the same room with the guns in holsters at their sides.

Certainly there are far fewer, and thus the threat is less. I just think that the threat is far from over.

I'm not a "politico," and I don't feel at all callous to Detroit factory workers. I worry about them both.
However, it's important to note that the Indonesian per capita GDP is $2,349 while the Michigan per capita GDP is $32,079. Also, Michigan has unemployment insurance and the full gamut of US social protections, while Indonesia is one of the four OECD countries with the worst social protections. Until the economic downturn here in the US, Indonesia also suffered from negative rates of foreign direct investment, which is part of why they couldn't afford a more extensive welfare state. Now that the FDI trend has improved (in large part because of FDI deregulation that no longer forces de facto nationalization of foreign investments) Indonesians are indeed capturing some of the jobs, like a new Hyundai tire plant, that would otherwise go to Detroit workers. Is it callous to say that, while they both need it, the Indonesians need it more?
- February 1, 2011 at 12:36 PM
- Freddie said...
Not at all. But as you indicate, supporting both their needs is not mutually exclusive. The devil is in the details; I want to support them both by, to pick one example, establishing a worker health, safety, and compensation regime in Indonesia that is similar to ours in the US. But many think that this would be contrary to liberalized trade orthodoxy.

I dunno...I remember a deep fear of nuclear annihilation raising its ugly head during the late 70s through the 80s. Remember the movies? Mad Max, Testament, The Day After, Threads, When the Wind Blows? Remember Jonathan Schell's book, The Fate of the Earth? Reagan's unfunny joke about blowing the USSR off the planet? People may not have been engaging in duck and cover exercises, and building bomb shelters, but in a way it was worse. There was a fatalistic attitude, as if nothing could stop it, so why bother anyway?

Kaval's Kickoff: Demolition is done at stadium site
What an exciting 2-0 win by the Quakes this weekend against the former Quakes! Once again our loyal Quakes fans represented in some difficult weather conditions to help the team get another critical win.
All day Saturday the weather looked like another deluge was on its way. I was getting ready to design the "Great Deluge II" pin when, lo and behold, the weather cleared about 30 minutes before the match and we ended up with some decent conditions to notch our third home win in-a-row. I want to personally thank all the fans for gutting it out and getting out to Buck Shaw for the match. I think when most fans left their homes it was still pouring and folks were probably expecting to get drenched. We were all rewarded with limited rain and a wonderful performance on the pitch.
I thought that the stadium had an electric atmosphere this weekend. Many weekends it is really the supporters groups (Casbah and Ultras) leading the charge. This match had not only solid Supporters Section energy but also some pretty rowdy chants and cheering from other parts in the stadium. The "GO QUAKES" chant had the place going. While it may not have been Krazy George levels of madness, I definitely saw a spark that we can collectively build on to create an even stronger home field advantage. As part of that experience, the Casbah is encouraging fans to participate in their chants several times during the match. We included the words on the Jumbotron, but I think we need to get everyone on the same page in terms of the melody and the lyrics. We plan on having a special Quakes pregame show in the Epicenter where we practice some of the songs to help get everyone involved. Together, we can create an environment that can give our club the edge every time we play at home.

The next step in the process is the PD Permit with the city and the planning commission. Those meetings are underway and I hope to have additional information this month on our progress. This will likely include more detailed renderings of the complex. As I have explained before, the land is already zoned for a stadium, but must go through a more specific PD Permit process to ensure that the design adheres to the city planning commission's guidelines and building code requirements. This is a standard process in any building project like the new stadium complex. The City of San Jose has been a fabulous partner on our stadium and associated development project and we look forward to finalizing the PD Permit process with them.

One year after tragic loss, 'Brian still matters'Written by Bailey G. Dick | | email@example.com
"We stood there for a moment in disbelief, not knowing what to feel or do. My body and my mind were painfully numb. There are no words to describe precisely what we were feeling. Our beautiful, smart, happy boy, who had brought so much love and happiness into our lives for 18 years, was dead."
One year ago, Feb. 2, Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger faced a nightmare when their son, Brian, was killed in a drunken driving accident.
As the Hoeflingers grieved the loss of their son, they were also moved to act in the hopes that no other family would have to feel the pain they do. They have shared their journey in speaking events, as well as a book, "The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking" (excerpts of which are included in this article).
As they face the coming year, the Hoeflingers are prepared to continue the work they have already begun.
"His face looked beautiful, with no scratches, cuts, or burns. He looked just the way he had always looked. I did not pull the sheets back, because I wanted to remember my son the way I always envisioned him and not the way the car accident left him."
His father continues to remember the son who lived, rather than the one who lay in the hospital that night.
"Brian was such a neat person. All the ideas he had. And the enthusiasm. And the determination. Those are all good qualities for any kid to have. He's a role model for how he lived his life," Hoeflinger said.
Brian was 18. A senior at Ottawa Hills High School, he was an avid golfer and aspiring orthodontist who maintained a 4.5 GPA and scored a 32 on his ACT. He prayed three times a day. He was accepted to his dream school, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. But who Brian was far exceeded what appeared on his college applications, according to his mother, Cindy.
"He accepted others. He didn't judge. And people saw that. He didn't judge people because they weren't as good at golf, or they weren't as smart or they couldn't score as high on a test. He had this spirituality, too. And he had a lot of love. Like any teenage kid, he kind of masked it. But it wasn't masked for his friends," she said.
The Hoeflingers want to be sure that the manner in which their son died does not detract from who he was in life.
"It doesn't take it away when you talk to his friends. I told the kids that the least of what Brian stood for became a part of his legacy. It's unfortunate for him, and it's unfortunate for us," Cindy said. "But I think that for everybody else, Brian's legacy is all those important things that he was. Underneath it all, Brian was just a kid like everybody else."
On a mission
Although the Hoeflingers have been active in initiatives to prevent teen drinking during the past year, they don't want who Brian was to be reduced by their efforts.
"I think Brian would be proud of the difference we are trying to make. But I don't think this whole alcohol thing is Brian's mission," Cindy said. "I think Brian's impact is bigger than that, and different than that. I think Brian has affected everyone in a positive way as he lived his own life, because people choose to remember him the way he was in life.
"Now, the alcohol awareness is our mission, like it or not," she added.
"As we walked out of the room, a state trooper stopped us to give his condolences and explained to us that Brian's car had struck a tree at high speed. The cause was unknown. He was wearing his seatbelt, and the air bags had deployed. … 'Could Brian have been drinking?' he asked. We couldn't imagine Brian drinking. No one had said anything about alcohol. 'Brian does not — did not — drink,' I said, and we walked away.
In the midst of tragedy, after losing their firstborn son, the Hoeflingers dove headfirst into efforts to combat underage drinking.
"One of the hardest things has been exposing ourselves and our truth. And exposing that Brian was drinking and making it be known publicly that he was drinking, and that he died as a result of his drinking. We're not ashamed of it. Brian was a good kid and he made a mistake. But if we can get more people to admit that there's a problem out there, I think change can happen," Hoeflinger said.
Between the speaking engagements at schools, talking with lawmakers in Columbus and appearing on a national talk show, the Hoeflingers have already spread their message on a local, state and national level.
During the past year, the Hoeflingers have also spoken to thousands of high-schoolers at speaking engagements across the Toledo area.
Hoeflinger said they regularly receive emails and Facebook messages from students who attended the talks, as well as from their parents, saying the talk made an impact on them. Others have said they no longer plan to drink or hang out with kids who do.
The pair also had a speaking engagement with the Ohio Investigative Unit, where they told bar owners and liquor store employees what happened to their son after he was able to purchase vodka at a carryout.
Nicholas Thompson, a clerk at Foxx Liquor Store on Dorr Street, is accused of selling or furnishing intoxicating liquor to a minor in connection with Brian's death. His trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 18.
The Hoeflingers have also met with lawmakers in Columbus in hopes of changing "social host" laws, which address hosts of parties where individuals drink underage.
"It was quite an experience to go talk to legislators in Columbus and have a chance to talk about the things we'd like to change, and talk about the things that happened with Brian and how the laws now fell through," Hoeflinger said. "I see that as an avenue of change, but it's going to be an uphill battle."
The Hoeflingers were able to share Brian's story on a national level when they were invited to be on "Katie," the talk show hosted by Katie Couric.
"It was kind of a surreal experience, but something that was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. It was great to have the opportunity to speak to the nation about the problem of teenage drinking. It was another avenue to bring awareness on a national level," Hoeflinger said.
Facing hurdles
As they look back on all the progress they have already made, the Hoeflingers know there are still hurdles they face.
"As you look back on it, we've done a lot of things. You don't see it as you go along, but when you look back on the year, we've done a lot. I think there's a lot more to come. It's just going to take some time. First, we've got to get the problem out in the open and into the light, and that's what we're trying to do. And from there, we can try to change it," Hoeflinger said.
Cindy agreed.
"I know I wouldn't feel better if we were sitting around doing nothing. But I can't say that it makes me feel good either. Because every time I feel a little bit good, that nausea comes when I'm reminded of why I'm doing what I'm doing. And I'd give anything to have it back the way it was," she said.
"When we arrived back home, I gathered the kids in the kitchen. I felt inhumane for the pain I was about to inflict upon them. I will never forget their reactions when I told them that Brian was dead. … They were all hurting so badly. The short time watching their reactions to Brian's death seemed like an eternity. I didn't know how to protect them from the pain they were experiencing."
While the Hoeflingers have spent the past year as crusaders against underage drinking, they are first and foremost a family grieving the loss of their child.
"We're just like everybody else. We're just like any other parent. We have the same feelings and mourn the same loss that every parent would," Hoeflinger said.
Hoeflinger said that Brian's absence in the family is tangible.
"When we go on vacation, there's always one missing.
"When I watch the kids anywhere, there should be four and there's only three. There's a part of us that is missing that can't be replaced.
"So in that respect, our family will never be the same. There's no way to ever replace that," Hoeflinger said.
Cindy said memories of Brian come from unexpected places.
"I like Orbit Sweetmint gum. And guess who turned me on to it? Brian chewed it all the time. One day, I just started chewing it, and you just realize how much of an influence they have on your life. They were so interwoven in your life," she said.
The couple is also focused on being very present to their children, Kevin, Julie and Christie.
"They feel that a lot of times, things are always about Brian, even though he's dead, and that a lot of the focus is lost on them. As much as we try to go to all of their basketball games and activities, we do put a lot of time into this effort we've been making. And they've noticed it. We try to reassure them that we obviously love them, and understand that Brian is dead," Hoeflinger said.
"I don't think for our family, on a personal level, a lot of positives have come out of this. This was my oldest son. All of our efforts through the year have been wonderful and to the benefit of others, [but] there's nothing that can replace his loss," he added.
"To honor Brian, I needed to make something positive come from this tragedy. But more than this, there was a special kind of energy that had been associated with Brian's death, an outpouring of love beyond what anyone could have anticipated. … Brian's death brought together people across many communities and different age groups to share in a common sense of loss, as well as a sense of life — all-important life that binds us together as human beings."
A vision
Hoeflinger awoke suddenly one night with a vision of a book about his son's life mapped out in his head.
He wrote for a month or so, often in the middle of the night, about his son's life, death and the journey that tragedy had forced his family to embark upon.
"It just came out of me," Hoeflinger said. "I didn't do it to try to heal myself. Maybe I got out feelings. But I think only time is healing."
The book, "The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking," has already sold more than 800 copies. It is available in print and Kindle versions on the Brian Matters website, www.brianmatters.com.
Hoeflinger said he hopes the book will leave a profound impact on teens who are drinking, or may be tempted to drink, as well as parents who are hesitant to talk to their kids about the dangers of drinking.
"You hear about someone dying on TV, and it's sad, but your life goes on. You don't really want to give it a second thought. But when it happens to you, it stops your life and then you change. So the book was really to try to give them an insight into what a tragedy like this really does to a person and to our family, and how it's changed us," Hoeflinger said.
The book includes the story of the night Brian died, as well as excerpts from Hoeflinger's journals, information on state laws and underage drinking statistics, and essays written by Brian.
"I think my book will save more lives than I could ever save as a neurosurgeon. That's what it's all about. I couldn't save Brian's life. But I think this book about teenage drinking will save lives. That's really what the book is about," Hoeflinger said.
The Hoeflingers are now hoping to bring Brian's story to an even bigger audience with an event they are planning for area high school students.
The Brian Matters Challenge Run: The Race for Change will be held May 3. The Hoeflingers have sent letters about the run to 175 high schools to invite them to participate in the 5K-run/walk. A portion of the proceeds from the race will go back to the schools that have the highest percentage of student turnout at the race. The schools can use the award money for any healthy, alcohol and drug free activity.
In addition to the race, the event will also include an essay contest, where students are challenged to write about how they would prevent teens from using drugs and drinking.
The Hoeflingers are anticipating a big turnout for the event.
"I think this race can someday be as big as Race for the Cure," Hoeflinger said.
Hope for change
The Brian N. Hoeflinger Fund has raised $120,000 in the past year. The Hoeflingers have donated $10,000 to Kids Unlimited, an organization that works with children in underprivileged communities.
"As I reflect back on what I have written so far, it makes me realize what a beautiful life Brian had and what a wonderful life we had with Brian in it. With him gone, our lives will never be the same. There will always be an emptiness where there used to be joy and happiness. Please keep this in mind as you read on, and never lose sight of how much you are loved by the people who surround you."
As the wounds left by Brian's death slowly heal, the Hoeflingers say they will continue to channel their loss into creating change.
"As time has gone on, it's dulled the pain. It's not as fresh and raw as it used to be. It's always there, but it's not as raw as it used to be," Hoeflinger said. "Things just keep getting set in front of us, and we don't know where this path is taking us. But we feel like we need to follow it."
The family said they've seen hope for change in the midst of their own pain.
"In my mind, I've talked to enough kids now that I believe things are going to change. And that with time and persistence that this culture of teenage drinking will change. We've seen glimpses of that," Hoeflinger said. "We've seen enough change in the past year that I think it's worth it to continue this into the future as much as we can."
Before he died, Brian wrote a paper for school that reflected what he had learned so far in his life called "Message in a Bottle."
Judging by what Brian wrote, he would be proud of his parents.
In the last line of the essay, Brian wrote, "Even the smallest of accomplishments is greatly appreciated in the eyes of a positive person because it is another step in the right direction."

Showers Pass Elite Pro Jacket - Men's

Super light shell.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Me: chest 38, waist 31, 6'2", 160 lbs. M is a good fit but there is plenty of material flapping around. Plenty of space to fit a windstopper jacket underneath. This is a slim fit for showers pass but not Euro slim (which is what I am after, YMMV).
This is a super light jacket (225g in M) that can be easily packed into a jersey pocket. The material looks to be very thin and I would be worried about durability.
Brett Cole
Not just for the rain.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I had pegged Showers Pass as a rainy day jacket company and gear for commuters. I was wrong. My maiden ride with the Elite Pro jacket was in the high 30's and low 40's with ridiculous headwinds, around 20mph average. I was only wearing a summer jersey, arm warmers and ss base layer underneath. The windproofing prowess of the Elite Pro helped to keep me super warm and the huge vents were appreciated on the 5 mile climb up Millcreek Canyon in SLC. The fit was exactly what I wanted, high in the front and low in the back with a nice snug fit through the torso.And for a bonus, if the weather goes bad, I would trust that the Elite Pro would keep me dry. The medium fit perfectly. My stats: 5'11", 173lbs and 40in chest. email@example.com
What is your waist size Brett?
Can anyone advise on the fit of this jacket....
Can anyone advise on the fit of this jacket. I am a 40 inch chest and 180 lbs. Medium is what the sizing chart recommends but I have taken a Large in outher Gore jackets.
Brett Cole
I have this jacket in a medium. I am 5'11", 173lbs or so, 40in chest and it fits perfectly. Nothing i would change fit wise. Perfect length in the arms and no extra material flapping in the strong winds. As a reference, I wear large in Giordana FRC tops and large in De Marchi. That being said, the Showers Pass Elite jacket would be considered US slim fit sizing.

I doubt we'll see any games for the Apple TV since there isn't enough disk space on it.
If there is an Apple TV API at WWDC, I get the impression that there will be something else that is far more important coming out of this than just apps. It could be a gaming controller, a big update in features to Airplay or the "control out" feature that is rumored by BGR.
Regarding an Apple TV App Store
You'll hear a lot more discussion of this at the tail end of tonights iPhone & iPad Live podcast with Seth Clifford of Nickelfish and David Barnard of App Cubby, but as rumors are spreading that WWDC 2012 might bring with it an "App Store" for Apple TV, I wanted to get something up on the site about it as well.
Issues involving the navigation of large app quantities on a TV, the limitations of the current remote, and Siri control aside, I'm having a hard time seeing an Apple TV "App Store" in the same sense as the existing iPhone and iPad App Store. .
There are 600,000 plus apps on the iOS App Store and a lot of them just don't make sense on a TV.
iPhones, iPods, and iPads are personal devices. TVs are social devices. On an iPhone or iPad, I can be watching a show or a game, and a notification can come up, and I can switch away to handle it, and I can come back to my show or game when I'm ready.
If I'm watching a show or game on my TV and I switch away to check a web link or answer a tweet ("Wow, did you see how GSP ended that fight?!"), I'm going to get punched by the friend or family member next to me. If a friend or family member switches away to Facebook or Messages ("Has he left yet baby? Can I come over?"), they're getting punched. (In a figurative, loving, non-violent, hurts-like-hell-in-the-shoulder way, I swear.)
That kind of activity is also unnecessary, because we have iPhones, iPods, and iPads, and those secondary and tertiary screens let us do personal things like message or research, while watching TV, without impacting the other people watching TV. They also let us share anything we come across via AirPlay.
Media apps like the already present Netflix makes sense on an Apple TV. NBC, BBC, HBO, Disney, etc. would all make sense there. As channels. Having them in a "Store" with subscriptions makes more sense than just putting them all onto the screen, since the new Apple TV UI doesn't seem elegant even under the existing app load.
Twitter doesn't. Elements doesn't. Arguably even Safari and maybe even games make more sense as a phone or tablet apps that AirPlay can share with the Apple TV, than as a stand-alone apps on Apple TV. (And boy is the concept of automatic, AirPlay-triggered 10-foot UI for existing apps interesting.)
Moreover, even if Apple TV sales double this year, at 6 million units sold they'd still be nothing but a hobby compared to iPhone and iPad sales. Apple operates the current App Store at just above break even in order to have software sales fuel hardware sales. If they reversed that cheap-blades-to-sell-expensive-razors strategy and went to a more traditional cheap-razors-to-sell-expensive-blades model, dealing with the collective pains in the asses that comprise media companies just for a cut of subscription revenue doesn't seem worth the effort for Apple. The ROI just doesn't seem as high as the existing iOS hardware business.
There are a lot of to-be-announced (TBA) sessions on the WWDC schedule this year, and that has some very smart people like John Gruber thinking they may be filled with Apple TV API sessions. And maybe they will.
However, in the risky game of Apple predictions, I think it far more likely they'll be filled with iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion sessions instead. Or as Matt Panzarino from The Next Web suggested, an Apple TV/Siri/Facebook combo platter.
Developers will go where the money and market is, and right now everything is eclipsing the living room.
If there is an App Store for Apple TV, I'm guessing it would be far, far more limited in scope, and in accessibility than the iPhone and iPad App Stores. At least at first.
The Apple TV 1080p debuted as little more than a peripheral for the new iPad back in March. Apple may see something in the TV market that encourages them to keep the hobby going, but it's tough to see an iPhone and iPad style App Store being that. It's easier to see Apple thinking something just a little different.

Regarding an Apple TV App Store
I doubt we'll see any games for the Apple TV since there isn't enough disk space on it.
AppleTv channels, monthly fees per network, currently networks get a fraction of what the cable companies collect, AppleTv channels could double that by eliminating the cable companies... Sire powered house, think AirPrint API's for appliances wifi enabled.... Wifi enabled Wifi outlets and switches...its limitless
It is very strictly limited by the bandwidth to the home, bandwidth often provided by those very same cable companies. Already we see cablecos count Netflix videos against their bandwidth caps, exempt their own on-demand programming, and somehow claim they still follow net neutrality principles.
Unless Apple becomes not just a champion of net neutrality, but somehow is able to arm twist governments and/or cabelcos, there is little reason to believe those cablecos won't apply the same chokehold to Apple if they see an Apple TV system as a thread to their revenues.
Great article Rene. As for managing huge numbers of apps on a non-touch screen, it's as easy as "Siri, show me all TV channel apps." Or "Siri, show me all movie streaming apps." Etc. (Or at least it could be.)
Re: If there is an App Store for Apple TV, I'm guessing it would be far, far more limited in scope, and in accessibility than the iPhone and iPad App Stores. At least at first.
Agree. iOS has app-ified the web. And it could app-ify the television experience the same way. But it'll have to be done gradually. And we'd guess that there won't be a Safari "TV edition." WebTV and GoogleTV did that and failed.
Re: * Apple may see something in the TV market that encourages them to keep the hobby going, but it's tough to see an iPhone and iPad style App Store being that. *
Many of Tim Cook's statements at D10 (and before) can be interpreted in multiple contexts. For example: the "toaster and refrigerator" anti-convergence statement. The most obvious context for that is the two different non-overlapping worlds of iOS and OS X. The small + touch-screen + mobile world vs. large + mouse/keyboard + stationary world. Apple has kept them separate but has made them co-exist fairly smoothly. Microsoft is trying to mash those worlds together in Windows RT somehow.
But another context for the "toaster and refrigerator" non-convergence statement is the television concept vs. the iOS mobile device concept vs. the legacy desktop / laptop PC concept. But this is getting too long for a comment. We'll try to expand the thought in the forums ASAP.
I just wish it would connect to the cloud for my library instead of my now dead home system.
You are looking at things wrong. TVs are social devices today. However with Apple leading the charge to socialization through personal technology interfaces, TVs will become individual devices. There will be no need to physically be with people.
I'm only half joking here. Because sadly, that is becoming the reality. The art of personal socialization is being lost to technology at an alarming rate.
Admittedly, I didn't read this whole article, but I submit this. The "channels" on a Roku behave in many ways like an app. I can tweet, check Facebook, even send sms through Google voice. By no means is it open to every app under the sun, but it really shouldn't be.
Specifically speaking, I would love an app store...conversly I would love the ability to uninstall some of the bloat on the ATV2...Vimeo? Never opened it.
How about they add the iTunes music store before an app store? I can't believe as an iTunes Match subscriber that I can't purchase music on the device, even if it has no built in storage space.
As for apps, third parties ought to be able to add their players and I'd like to be able to remove players I'm not using (e.g. Netflix). BBC iPlayer and other equivalents would be an obvious win for UK users but where's the storage space for app files? I can't imagine there's much they can add except via a cloud system.

Holiday 2007 - The South Devon Railway & Totnes
After a trip on Virgin Trains, we arrived at Totnes with minutes to spare. Thankfully we made the next train and enjoy a pleasant journey to Buckfastleigh. Took some time to wander around the raily mueseum then took the bus to Buckfast Abbey. As we got back to Totnes we thought it might be fun to see the castle. Unfortunately we didn;t have much time left so took a walk through the village instead.
