"Ideal Villa"
Great Villa it has everything you need and more! TV, Sky, DVD, radio! not that we used any of these as we can do all that at home and this was a holiday to get away from day to day life at home! The only thing missing on the whole of Lanzarote is Wifi.... I couldn't get it anywhere we visited even though it said there were Wifi networks available. Heated pool was a blessing as after 1/4 of an hour in the sun a nice dip in the pool was much needed. The pool was cleaned and checked 3 days out of our 7 day holiday! and the pool man was nice and friendly. The villa is ideally located for shops, restaurants and the beach. We walked into PDC every evening to dine out which is a lovely stroll along the seafront. The Management team were very friendly and helpful arranging for a taxi for our return to the airport. As someone has already stated the only downside to the holiday was have to leave and come back home!
Wow, thanks for the great review and we're very sorry that you had to go home at the end of your stay. The issue with Wifi access has now bee resolved as a wireless internet connection was installed on 2nd December.

"The perfect location for a small family looking for a private holiday..."
First thing to say about Casa Becky is that it is exactly as advertised - there were no nasty surprises once we arrived. Very spacious living room, two comfy couches and space for the kids to play. Two good size bedrooms, plenty of storage, and both rooms easy to keep cool with the shutters and fans. Was nice to have the option to eat indoors or out (either in the shade or at the patio table), sometimes the Lanzarote breeeze (so welcome in that heat!) was a little too much to eat outside. But the crowing jewel was the pool. I can't overstate how great having your own pool is, and in a location which is not overlooked by any other property. It's a million miles away from a communal pool in a complex. It was shallow enough for our 6 year olds to stand up to almost half way, a little deeper at the opposite end. The pool/seafront was 5 minutes walk, with a shop and some restaurants facing the huge beach, and a Spar, cash machine and several other restaurants within a further 5 mins. Also, the Property Management company were excellent - pool cleaned 3 days a week, towels regularly changed, and any small requests we had (e.g. getting accomodation on our last day for an evening flight) were handled quickly and with no fuss. All in all, a great stay in a lovely location - well worth the money!
Thank you for your informative review, really pleased you enjoyed your stay in casa Becky.

"A fantastic holiday"
We found casa becky a beautiful place to stay. Accommodation great and the pool area was very private and got sun all day. The management company were very helpful with any requests we had. The location is perfect too. We will certainly be booking again for next year.
So pleased you had a fantastic holiday. Thank you for your positive comments. Look forward to hearing from you in the future.

"An excellent holiday."
Our third stay at this property & this time was as good as the others. The villa is situated in a quiet street with easy access to the magnificent beach at Pocillos. The area is "flat" compared to the rest of Lanzarote so walking is easy even for someone like me who has a slight infirmity. The inside of the villa is clean & comfortable with a good range of equipment to suit most needs. The outside area consists of gardens surrounding a beautiful private pool - ideal for a cooling dip! All in all an ideal place for a base to travel the rest of the island.
Thank you for your review and it's positive remarks, glad you still enjoy returning to the villa.

"Terribly Disappointing"
This was our first time ever venturing into the world of private villas! Positives: First, let me say, that this Villa could be lovely and is in a fantastic position. It has a nice pool, though because we felt we could not trust it (due to state of property inside) we did not use the pool. Privacy is guaranteed. Good power in the showers (shower in bath), plenty of hot water. Well enough appointed in terms of delf and cutlery. Negatives Property is tired, bordering on exhausted. Property needs repainting inside. Property needs deep cleaning - ingrained dirt to be found in lots of places. Fridge had not been turned on for us, freezer had excess water in it as a result, with plenty of food debris swimming around in it. Mould growing on the Visitor Book and Information Folder. Curtain in living room dirty and torn. Dirty windows. Tables and table mats needed a good wiping down - sticky to the touch. Didn't put our clothes in the wardrobes as serious damp issues experienced. Plenty of dust behind beds, bedroom furniture so property not cleaned as it should and this showed throughout. Though I expect clean enough, the bed linen was, nonetheless stained with holes in places. The one 'clean' /maid service that was done on the property the cleaner failed to empty the rubbish bins in the bathrooms! Outside furniture dirty, sun beds old, smelly and in need of replacing. All in all very disappointing experience. Bland, unclean, damp, tired looking property. I raised the concerns with the owner upon my return but she seemed in denial and seemed only interested in siding with the 'Agents' who were supposed to be looking after the property, rather than expressing concern that we had such an unpleasant experience. In my humble opinion, this would be a property to be avoided.
Our management team are available 24/7. The guests raised no issues during their weeks holiday. Several weeks after their return they raised issues. A 'proposition' was suggested to which we declined. Our management team on the Island work to very high standards which is evident in the number of repeat bookings year on year.

CUIABA, Brazil (AP) — World Cup host city Cuiaba is the capital of Mato Grosso state in the west of Brazil, near Bolivia.
The state boasts about 29 million heads of cattle — 10 times the human population. The town was established during the 18th century as a gold-mining outpost, and it still has some of that frontier mentality and spirit.

Survival for colorectal cancer patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis was statistically significantly better than for patients with colorectal cancer from the general population, according to a recent study published online November 2 in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
People who inherit a mutation in the MUTYH gene have nearly a 100% risk for developing colon cancer at some point in their lifetimes. But it is unknown whether specific histological and molecular genetic features of cancer associated with this genotype influence tumor behavior and survival.
To determine whether patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis colorectal cancer had different survival rates than control colorectal cancer patients, Maartje Nielsen, M.D., of the Leiden University Medical Center, and colleagues, conducted a multicenter cohort study in Europe that included 147 patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis colorectal cancer and 272 population-based control patients with colorectal cancer. Control and study group patients were matched for country, stage, age and year at diagnosis, and cancer subsite.
The researchers found that survival of patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis colorectal cancer was statistically significantly better than for control patients with colorectal cancer. Their five-year survival rate was 78% compared with 63% for the control group. Survival benefit was higher among patients with stage I and II disease than for those with stage III and IV disease.
The researchers offer a speculation about the better survival rate among the patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis colorectal cancer, compared with the control patients: "A compromised base excision repair system could render MUTYH-associated polyposis colorectal cancer more immunogenic than sporadic colorectal cancers, which are characterized predominantly by chromosomal instability."

The Need for a Comforter
When He commissioned Joshua to conquer the land of promise, God repeatedly told him not be afraid (Joshua 1). Joshua did not need to fear because God was going to be with him every step of the way. It is significant that the command most frequently found on the lips of Jesus Christ was "Fear not." Men are prone to fear because they live under the shadow of death. Even more, because Christians are called to bear witness to their Lord, knowing that such witness will bring them the disfavor of men, there is reason to fear.
In our affluent society we have too many who will neither take a stand nor expose themselves to situations which cause one to be afraid. We do not often experience fear because we have insulated ourselves from the distresses of life by our prosperity. We are not afraid because we fail quite often to stand up for Christ, and thus don't frequently encounter opposition. If we are going to see any kind of reformation and revival in our day, we need to become a people who understand reality, who know what fear is, and who have learned true courage in the face of that fear. The greatest gift Jesus sent to His church was the Holy Spirit. In John 14:16, Jesus described the Spirit as "another Comforter." Jesus Himself is our first Comforter, and the Spirit is another. If we are really involved in the battle, we know we need all the comfort and reassurance we can get. If we are truly involved in the work we shall know discouragement, and we shall need all the encouragement we can get.
What is comfort? In modern English, comfort means consolation. The idea would be that God comes to console us and bind up our wounds after the battle. While this is true enough, it is not the meaning of the Greek term found in John 14:16. Comfort is derived from the Latin cum and forte, meaning "with strength." The Comforter comes not to console us after the battle, but with strength and power to fortify us before and in the midst of the battle.
Because Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), we can be of good cheer, and we can fight fearlessly as those who are "more than conquerors" (Romans 8:37).

From Janet Evanovich, #1""bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, bestselling author and television writer for "Monk, "comes the first adventure in an electrifying new series featuring an FBI agent who always gets her man, and a fearless con artist who lives for the chase.
FBI Special Agent Kate O Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world's most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years the only name she's cared about is Nicolas Fox an international crook she wants in more ways than one.
Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. At first he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail particularly Kate O Hare, who has been watching his every move. For Nick, there's no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman . . . even one who aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: He convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O Hare.
Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who's hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O Hare's patience and Fox's skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate's dad. High-speed chases, pirates, and Toblerone bars are all in a day's work . . . if O Hare and Fox don t kill each other first.
Praise for "The Heist"
"The Heist" is the perfect title to carry on a trip to the beach. The laugh out loud humor that readers expect from Evanovich is in full force, and Goldberg's crafty and elaborate writing is prominent. . . . Everyone will be eager for the next book in the series. Associated Press
The action is fast-paced and the writing is first-rate, making "The Heist" an excellent choice for vacation reading. Huntington News.
About the Author
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including "One for the Money" and "Sizzling Sixteen", and the Diesel & Tucker series, including "Wicked Appetite". Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles.
Lee Goldberg is a two-time Edgar Award-nominated author and TV producer. His many books include The Walk, Watch Me Die, and the bestselling Monk series of original mystery novels. His TV writing and producing credits include SeaQuest, Diagnosis Murder, Monk, and The Glades. He s also worked as a consultant for networks and studios throughout Europe, Canada, and Sweden and has served on the Board of the Mystery Writers of America.
Scott Brick first began narrating audiobooks in 2000, and after recording almost 400 titles in five years, "AudioFile" magazine named Brick a Golden Voice and "one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy." He has read a number of titles in Frank Herbert's bestselling "Dune" series, and he won the 2003 Science Fiction Audie Award for "Dune: The Butlerian Jihad". Brick has narrated for many popular authors, including Michael Pollan, Joseph Finder, Tom Clancy, and Ayn Rand. He has also won over 40 "AudioFile" Earphones Awards and the "AudioFile" award for Best Voice in Mystery and Suspense 2011. In 2007, Brick was named "Publishers Weekly"'s Narrator of the Year.
Brick has performed on film, television and radio. He appeared on stage throughout the United States in productions of "Cyrano, Hamlet, Macbeth" and other plays. In addition to his acting work, Brick choreographs fight sequences, and was a combatant in films including "Romeo and Juliet", "The Fantasticks" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". He has also been hired by Morgan Freeman to write the screenplay adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendezvous with Rama".

About the Robert and Barbara McCullough Family Chair
Robert and Barbara McCullough established the McCullough Family Chair to support faculty in the academic Department of Accounting whose work integrates research with teaching and the discipline of accounting with other areas of learning, as well as incorporating dimensions of ethics and social justice in scholarship and teaching.

This is delicious. Ripe and juicy, it bursts with peach, floral and lime aromas and flavors. It's nicely balanced and, despite its richness, shows a delicate frame typical of the Mosel. Long finish. Drink now through 2018.
Great depth, tension and botrytis character - a real treat for the long term. 19/20 points.
Wilhelm Haag at Fritz Haag has again produced Rieslings of great depth and restraint with considerable minerality and focus in 2003. Not unlike other regions in Europe, the 2003 German vintage was marked by a hot summer which realized a group of concentrated and age-worthy Auslesen and dessert wines. The vintage separated the men from the boys amongst winemakers, and Wilhelm Haag showed why he is on the short list of the best in the country. According to importer Rudi Wiest: "The aromas are somewhat more reserved than you'd expect, with lemons, pear and wet slate and stones. On the palate there is a compact concentration of sour lemon, white peach, pear, white pepper and a smear of almond paste. The current of focused slate terroir in this wine is breath taking. Very delicate, but with a lingering grace."

Julia Maria Pease
Learn about upgrading this memorial...
Mar. 14, 1853
Brazoria County
Texas, USA
Jan. 19, 1918
Travis County
Texas, USA
Julia never married and was the caretaker of the children of her sister, Carrie Pease Graham, after Carrie died in 1882.
Additional info from Rick Bart 10-15-2011:
Julia Maria Pease; b. Mar 14, 1853 in Brazoria, Texas; d. Jan 19, 1918 in Austin, Texas; bur. Oakwood Cemetery. When her father was elected governor of Texas in 1856, the family moved to Austin, and settled in the newly completed governor's mansion. In 1859, her father bought an estate near Austin with a mansion, Woodlawn, built by Austin architect Abner Hugh Cook. Julia was educated at Hartford Female Seminary in Hartford, CT, entered Vassar College in 1870, and graduated with a BA. Degree in music and the arts, 1875. Julia was in Texas when her father was a customs collector in Galveston, and after her older sister Carrie (Pease) Graham passed away in 1882, Julia and her mother raised Carrie's three children at Woodlawn. Julia became the manager of the estate after Mr. Elisha Pease died, and lived in New York while Carrie's children attended school there. She was one of the first, and an active member of the Texas State Historical Association. She also belonged to the University Ladies Club, and the Boy Scouts, allowing her nephew's scout troop to meet at Woodlawn. Julia also took part in the activities of literary, historical, cultural, and philanthropic organizations, raised funds for the hospital, and the jail, visiting both frequently to see that conditions improved. During the 1890's she corresponded with sculptress Elisabet Ney (1833-1907), and after Miss Ney's death, saw to it that her works and studio were preserved. Elisabet was born in Germany. She was known for her sculptures of Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Copies of these statues are in the US Capital. The Texas Fine Arts Association was the result of her work, and in Jun 1912, the group held a formal exhibition of Ney's works. When the Pease estate surrounding Woodlawn was subdivided into Enfield, and Westenfield in the early 1900s, Julia Pease was instrumental in the establishment of the Connecticut names, and Pease-Niles names for the streets.

You don't need to turn an OM2 on if you know the shutter speed is going to be more than 1/30. It does an OTF and 1st blind pattern exposure reading even when switched off doing an ok exposure from 1/1000 to1/30.
I never turned my OM2 on or replaced batteries.
Don't think you need to turn on an OM10 either just hit the shutter for good exposure.

I thought it would be fitted so I bought a large, its probably not as fitted as the Nike Pro, so my usual size of medium would have work fine.

Photo by Bell's Star Pro road helmet can alert your family and friends if you suffer a spill. (Courtesy)
Both companies are incorporating the Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) into new helmets. This system allows the hard shell and the liner to move separately in a crash, which could reduce a cyclist's risk of concussion by decreasing the brain's rotational acceleration.
Giro will institute MIPS technology on five new models set to roll out in late fall. The Sutton MIPS ($100) is an urban rider's helmet with a detachable light clip and a soft leather visor. The $95 Feature (men's) and Feather (women's) XC models women offer more coverage than traditional cross-country helmets and include channeled vents to keep you cool. The $100 Safant (men's) and Sonnet (women's) are lightweight road helmets with 25 vents and a rainbow of colors to chose from.
Bell is also adding ICEdot sensor technology to its Super 2 and Super2r model mountain bike helmets ($200), Star Pro road helmet ($240), and Full Flex action sports helmet ($100). Mounted at the rear of the helmet, the sensor can detect an impact that creates enough force to cause a concussion. The device will send text alerts to your emergency contacts and allow first responders to access important medical information.

Mondays with Marty
Marty Walsh, out to challenge efforts to pigeonhole him as the Dorchester union guy, goes looking for votes in uber-liberal Jamaica Plain
The winning path in Boston's 12-way scramble for mayor travels first through a candidate's core base of supporters, but has to branch out from there to less familiar terrain. Which is why Marty Walsh found himself standing on Monday night in a sweltering Jamaica Plain meeting room accented with a rainbow mural, large puppets perched in the corners, and a "Save the Rainforest" poster on the wall.
It was a long way from the Laborers Union hall in Dorchester, where Walsh cut his teeth in politics. But the affable Dorchester state rep is determined to show that the gulf isn't quite as large as it might seem between his strain of union-driven populism and the left-leaning preferences of Jamaica Plain's politically-charged denizens. So his campaign brought this week's installment of a series of town meetings dubbed "Mondays with Marty" to Spontaneous Celebrations, a community arts center whose course listings include "toddler drumming" and other offerings that telegraph why this is Boston's most Cambridge-like neighborhood.
It wasn't entirely smooth sailing with the crowd of about 50 residents, a group eager to pin candidates down on their stands – and not generously inclined toward those that tilt against liberal orthodoxy.
Walsh talked about education in his opening comments, but seemed to carefully elide the issue of charter schools in a room not likely to be friendly to them. As if on cue, the first question from the issue-attuned audience: What about charter schools? Walsh explained that he supports lifting the cap on charters, saying they have been a much-sought alternative to district public schools, and touted his role as a founding board member at the Neighborhood House Charter School in Dorchester.
When a middle-aged black woman, one of only a couple of minorities in the overwhelmingly white crowd, asked how he would address racism in Boston, Walsh seemed flummoxed, saying it was the first time that question had come up during three-and-half months of campaigning. Walsh went on to say racism would have no place in his administration, and boasted of representing one of the most diverse districts in the state. But convening citywide race dialogues just isn't in the makeup of the 46-year-old son of Irish immigrants, whose everyman persona may make him the most Menino-like candidate in the mayoral field.
|State Rep. Liz Malia, left, chats with mayoral candidate Marty Walsh
following Monday's forum.
Like the man he's looking to succeed, Walsh is more a man of deeds than quick-on-his-feet words. And so it was his right-hand campaign alter ego, Joyce Linehan, who jumped up and cut the thickening air with a suggestion that Walsh talk about his work leading a program that brings minorities and women into the union building trades.
He did, and it was music to the crowd's ears.
"A lot of people in JP will be very pleased with that. I know I was," said Rosemary Jones, of Walsh's talk about helping women and minorities enter the building trades. Standing outside the hall after the forum, the 40-year neighborhood resident pointed to something else that is likely to make a positive impression on people in JP: the support Walsh has from the neighborhood's local state rep, Liz Malia.
His endorsement by Malia, an openly gay liberal lawmaker, is a huge coup for Walsh. Malia, a very visible presence at Monday's event, says Walsh has been a stalwart ally on many issues, but singles out two in particular. His work on behalf of substance abuse issues resonates strongly with Malia, who co-chairs the Legislature's Mental Health and Substance Abuse Committee — and shares with Walsh a personal background as someone in recovery. But it is his support a decade ago for marriage equality, something Walsh cites as his proudest moment in office, that Malia says shows a side to her House colleague that may surprise those who pigeonhole him as an old-school labor leader.
"He stood up and took a lot of arrows from his constituents," Malia said following the forum. The gay marriage forces had a lot of lawmakers from districts like hers, she said. "What we needed was someone who could build bridges to reps in other communities. He was a real leader."
Trying to attach labels to candidates in the race is tricky business. When a Boston Herald/Suffolk University poll earlier this week pegged John Connolly, Walsh, Dan Conley, and Rob Consalvo as the early leaders in the mayoral race, the paper remarked that no minority or "so-called 'progressive' candidate" cracked this top group.But one of the biggest changes in the city's political dynamic is the degree to which the center of gravity has shifted to the left. WGBH's Adam Reilly wondered yesterday whether the poll frontrunners would agree with the Herald characterization, and found that they all rejected it and readily embraced the progressive banner.
"People tend to have a bias or prejudge me," Walsh said after Monday's JP forum. "I'm as, if not more, progressive than anyone in this race."

Paris travel buddy july 7-15
I'm an 18 year old girl looking for someone (female, roughly my age) to explore Paris with. I will be there from July 7th through about the 15th. I was planning on staying in a hostel, walking, and using the metro. This would be a low budget week, just exploring the city, both on and off the beaten path. Day trips to Versailles and other surrounding areas would be possible, and my plans are not too detailed yet, so I'm willing to work with any ideas! Thanks!

Notes: Jasmine, Patchouli, Coriander, Elemi, Incense, Nutmeg------------------A floral-oriental with good projection and sillage early on, gradually toning down to a tad closer to the skin. The coriander, nutmeg, and elemi in the mix keep the scent fresh and somewhat spicy, while the jasmine heart and the woody-oriental base make it smooth and creamy. This wears nicely on the skin, the quality of the ingredients making it pleasant, if not exactly ground-breaking. The warmest of Les Heures de Cartier series thus far, it is the most soothing to the senses, and also the most mysterious, hence the sobriquet, L'Heure Mystérieuse: Midnight, the witching hour bewitching indeed!

Tools and parts needed for GPR and GP Check?
I'm going to be checking the glow plugs and relays on my 99 F350, what all tools do I need to check them?
And if they're bad I'll probably try my hand at changing out what needs to be changed.
What parts do I need for that? I saw a kit for $320 on one of the threads here, but I'm not sure if I need all those parts, nor can I afford it right now.
Thanks for your help!
You just need a volt meter to check them. I will find a writup for you one sec
Here check this out Troubleshooting GPR & GP's or this 7.3 glow plug system diagnosis
Glow plug removal:
This is a straight-forward service. After removing the valve covers and unplugging the glow plug(s), loosen the glow plug a couple of turns (10mm deep socket, 1/4" drive). Then push a 4-6" piece of vacuum line over the end of he glow plug and use the hose to unscrew and remove it. Use the hose to install and screw in the glow plug, then tighten with the socket. The socket will contact the rocker arms if used to remove the glow plug. If the glow plug is difficult to turn you may be able to loosen it by working it back and forth--turn counter clockwise one turn then clockwise half a turn--until it turns freely enough that it can be loosened with the hose. If the glow plug probe is severely carboned up or swollen, the barrel may screw out of the head leaving the probe stuck in the hole. In this instance you may be able to remove the probe by removing the adjancent rocker arm and push rod to gain enough room to get ahold of the probe with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Have someone hold the pliers to prevent the probe from falling into the cylinder and use a long punch to loosen the probe by tapping it down. Once the probe is broken loose, work it up and down in the hole until it can be pulled out--some WD 40 or other solvent may help to loosen any carbon on the probe once it can moved, just remember not to use too much and to remove any residual by cranking over the engine with the glow plug out. You may be able to dislodge the seize probe by cranking over the engine, just remember to reinstall the rocker and pushrod if removed, and place a blanket or fender cover over the glow plug to keep it from shooting out. If the probe falls into the cylinder or cannot be loosened, the head will have to be removed to extract the probe. To prevent damage, remove all the glow plugs on the head to be removed and install them after the head has been reinstalled.
Thanks! I'll look into it this weekend, if I can find a warm place to dig into it!

|The Game Story:
|AMHERST, MA � The Amherst College men�s lacrosse team ousted visiting non-conference foe Mount Ida College 11-3 this afternoon in a mid-week, make-up game. The Lord Jeffs out-shot the Mustangs by a 55-17 margin, and held on for a comfortable win after opening up a 5-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Lord Jeffs wasted no time getting on the board, and with senior tri-captain Rob Denious (Bloomfield Hills, MI) scoring on back-to-back bombs from long distance, Amherst was quickly up 2-0. The Jeffs stretched their lead to 4-0 as senior tri-captain Thomas McDonnell (Manhasset, NY) scored consecutive goals, with the second tally coming off a behind-the-head, no-look feed from Denious.
After Amherst rookie Ramsey Bates (McLean, VA) tacked on an unassisted score with 1:23 to play in the first quarter, the Jeffs led 5-0 at the first break. Amherst out-shot Mt. Ida by a 15-2 margin in the opening frame.
Mt. Ida scored the first goal of the second quarter at the 13:26 mark. Off a feed from Paul Battapaglia, Matt Savage turned from ten yards out to fire an underhand shot past Amherst goalie Sam Jakimo (Woodbury, NY). The score was Savage�s team-leading 35th of the year.
Midway through second, Amherst was forced to play defense two men down after an offside and an illegal procedure were called on the same whistle. The Lord Jeff defense held strong, refusing to give up a momentum shifting score. Moments after getting back to even strength, Amherst scored to take a 6-1 lead.
McDonnell added his third goal of the night late in the second quarter, before tacking on a pair of scores in the third frame to lead all players with five goals. With just 11:16 remaining in the game, Amherst sophomore Pir Granoff (Bala Cynwyd, PA) scored his first goal of the season on a nice feed from Alex Fox (Garden City, NY) on a sneak from behind the cage. Everyone on the field except for Granoff was expecting a shot from Fox, but the Amherst points-leader fired a pass to setup the score.
Despite Amherst�s advantage in shots, Mt. Ida hung in the game for much of the day due to an impressive 22 saves from goalie James McAllister. The Mustang backstop made 15 saves after the halftime break to keep the game close. Jakimo was called on for just four saves in the win.
The Lord Jeffs will return to action on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Wesleyan for a shot at the 2010 outright Little Three title. Amherst and Wesleyan will take the field in Middletown at 1 p.m.

BODYLOGIX: Find your way through the food label maze
JENSEN BEACH - Ever try to decipher a food label? Your eyes blur and your head starts spinning. It can be incredibly challenging. Try finding your way through the maze of total carbohydrates and sugars. Oh, don't forget the "net carbs," remember those days? You could not pick up a package without seeing "ONLY 4 NET CARBS" emblazoned across the label. The marketing geniuses wanted you to believe that carbohydrates were bad for you. Trying to slice through the trans fats, polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats seems endless and can put you into a dizzying spiral.
The fact is food companies set up their labels to be somewhat confusing and maybe a bit misleading, and it is legal. According to government standards, food companies can state a product is "FAT FREE" as long as it contains less than 1 gram of fat per serving. Many may think that is no big deal, but knowing the facts and doing some simple math shows that the "FAT FREE" item can make a big impact. Besides, have you ever actually measured and eaten only one serving?
Another food label trick is stating in bold print a product does not contain fat or sugar, in many cases that product never did to begin with. For instance, beans naturally don't have added sugar, but a food company may make a point to place the words "SUGAR FREE" on the front of the label. There is nothing unethical about this, but it is a ploy to trigger a subconscious reaction so you choose their product. Stick with me as I show you how to actually read a food label. Relying on some simple math can clear the soupy mix, so to speak.
Using the following equation will help you break down the label to the "REAL" numbers when trying to figure the percentage of sugar, fat or protein per serving. Simply divide the amount of sugar, fat or protein calories by the total calories per serving then multiply by 100. Some additional math may be needed to figure individual calorie content. Again, food labels are designed to be misleading to the consumer. Use the following constant values, 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories, 1 gram of sugar equals 4 calories and 1 gram of protein equals 4 calories. Labels tell you the amount of calories from fat but not from sugars or proteins so use these numbers to find the real answers. Pay attention to serving size. Many products have two or more servings per package or container. So, if you eat or drink the entire product you have to account for those extra calories.
Advertising is designed to lead us to a product, we all know that. The following example of a "energy bar" label is an actual product directed squarely at women. The wrapper has nice soft colors and a curvy outline of the female form and the amount of calories it contains boldly displayed on the front. The serving size is one bar and equals less than one ounce in weight. The overall calories is 110, 30 of which come from fat. The amount of total fat is listed at 5 percent of daily value, the amount of total sugar is listed at 5 percent of daily value and the amount of protein is listed at 10 percent of daily value. This value is based on a 2000 calorie per day diet. The amount of fat calories is significant because it triggers a familiar number from a well known diet from the early 90s that we have long been told is good for us.
Now for the real numbers. Take the 30 calories from fat and divide them by 110 calories then multiply 100. Ex: 30 divided by 110 =.27 X 100 = 27 percent. So 27 percent of the total calories come from fat, not 5 percent. To figure carbohydrates you first need to multiply the grams of total carbohydrates by 4. For this product it equals 60 calories. So 60 calories divided by 110 = .54 X 100 = 54 percent. That means 54 percent of those 110 calories comes from carbohydrate/added sugar, not 5 percent as most are led to believe. To figure proteins you first need to multiply the grams of total proteins by 4. For this product it equals 20 calories. So 20 calories divided by 110 = .18 X 100= 18 percent. Only 18 percent of the total calories are derived from proteins. So, in actuality this product is a high sugar/low protein product. Armed with this information you can now figure out what your really putting into your mouth.

- First Time a Majority of Americans Take Medications to Treat Chronic
Health Conditions -
- Younger Adults Show Steepest Rise in Chronic Medication Use -
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Americans have tipped the scale. For the first time, a majority of the insured population is being treated for a chronic medical condition, raising serious concerns about the health of the nation.
Research released today by Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS) shows that in 2007, 51 percent of insured Americans were taking prescription drugs to treat at least one chronic health problem. Not only is it now a majority, but many of these patients are on multiple medications. According to the analysis, one fifth of the population used three or more of these chronic drug treatments last year.
"It appears that we have now reached the tipping point where treating chronic diseases and conditions is more common than not," said Dr. Robert Epstein, Medco's chief medical officer. "This data does paint a pretty unhealthy picture of America. But there is a silver lining; it does show that people are receiving treatment which can prevent more serious health problems down the road."
While seniors show the highest prevalence of chronic medication use,
younger adults are quickly catching up. Surprisingly, nearly half (48
percent) of women ages 20-44 are being treated for a chronic condition, as
compared to one third of men their age. Antidepressants are the most
commonly used medication among this group, with 16 percent of 20-44
year-old women taking them. This demographic also claimed the sharpest
increases in the number of patients on chronic medications, rising more
than 20 percen

Recycling and waste reduction for all seasons
We are lucky enough to live with four beautiful seasons here in Wisconsin, and each one presents new opportunities for us to reduce our impact. Look through the activities below to learn about things you can do each season to reduce waste and recycle more.
Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning
Spring cleaners can use scraps of old clothing and linens as wash rags for some household chores, reusing old materials and reducing paper waste.
Spring cleaning offers a great opportunity to reduce waste, save money and make a positive impact on the environment. As the weather warms up, you can put reuse and recycling into action with some of the ideas below.
Cleaning out the house, apartment, basement or garage
There are several ways to take clutter around the house and make sure it is reused. You can donate gently used clothing, appliances and home construction materials, swap books, games and outfits with friends and coworkers or, if you need extra cash, set all these items aside and have a yard sale.
Making a recycling pile
When cleaning, you can make a "to recycle" pile where you can collect all recyclables, including retired electronics, old magazines, junk mail, cardboard boxes and other items. You can also contact your local recycling program to see what larger items you may be able to bring to a drop-off for recycling, such as Styrofoam packaging, appliances, large cardboard boxes and yard debris.
Clean Sweep
Wisconsin Clean Sweep events collect expired and unwanted prescription drugs.
Many unwanted household chemicals or leftover prescription drugs can be collected or exchanged at community collection or exchange points. To find collection events in your area, you can consult the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's Wisconsin Clean Sweep program.
As the school year ends
Old crayons can be saved for future use or melted down for craft projects.
Those school supplies leftover at the end of May will still be good in the fall! In the last week of classes, families and students can sort out reusable supplies and store them for the next school year, or for summer projects at home. They can also hold onto old assignments to create a ready supply of scrap paper for use around the home, cut into halves or quarters for a variety of sizes.
Reusing old backpacks and lunchboxes
The key to making sure backpacks and lunchboxes stay in good shape over the summer is a good cleaning at the end of the school year. Backpacks clean best with warm water and a mild dish soap before being set out to air dry. You can keep lunchboxes odor-free with a sprinkle of baking soda or by filling them with crumpled newspaper until they are ready to use. If your backpacks or lunchboxes are too worn out to be used next school year, you can find other uses for them, such as carrying garden supplies or beach toys.
Old pencil cases to can be reused to organize junk drawers, store kids' jewelry or hold small items when packing for a trip.
College move-out
Many schools sponsor waste reduction programs during move-out. Students and families can check school websites for opportunities to recycle carpets, electronics and other large or bulky items. They can also return or sell old textbooks for other students to use and avoid sending them to a landfill.
Spring sports
Green tips for athletes and fans
Whether on the field or in the stands, athletes and fans can get active by reducing, reusing and recycling. Using hand-me-downs and carpooling are just the beginning of the ways your team can pitch in. A few simple steps can help cut spring sports' carbon footprint and ensure that everybody wins in the long run.
Sporting goods and equipment
Lots of athletes, teams and families already avoid waste by buying from sports resale shops, but when you do buy new or packaged equipment you can also reuse or recycle plastic film and cardboard packaging. If you bike or skateboard to games or practice, you can check to see if your local bike seller or resale shop recycles bikes or parts. You can also recycle old athletic shoes through programs like ShoeBox Recycling [exit DNR] and Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe [exit DNR], or re-purpose old equipment, like tennis balls, for dog toys and other around-the-house craft projects.
Snacks and water
Lots of teams fuel up on snacks like apples and oranges that are completely biodegradable. You can save cores, peels and rinds for backyard composting. Also, you can rehydrate with reusable water bottles instead of disposable cups and clean your bottles regularly so that they last longer.
Making a team pledge
Your team might consider making a group pledge to the local environment by taking on a recycling challenge, adopting a local park or highway or committing to some other sustainable practice as a group. It's a fun way to promote the team, build team spirit and help keep your home field clean!
Spring sports can mean loads of laundry. Use an eco-friendly or concentrated detergent, wash clothes in cold water when you can and line dry when possible. Each of these choices cut your laundry's energy costs.
Look for and use recycling bins at special events.
Many sporting event vendors offer beverages sold in reusable souvenir cups. Purchasing beverages in these cups and reusing them at the event or at home cuts down on waste and is a good way to show your team pride.
Venue recycling
The easiest way fans can reduce their waste is often the most commonly overlooked one. Fans at any event can look for and use recycling bins in public areas. If you are hosting a sporting event or are in charge of an event venue, you can point people in the right direction. Be sure to place trash and recycling bins in easily accessible, visible locations where visitors will be able to see and use them. The DNR offers tips on how to promote recycling and waste reduction at your event [PDF].
Green moving
Green your move
There are many ways to avoid overflowing garbage cans - reduce, reuse, recycle and donate.
Whether it's the big apartment switchover in a college town or a job opportunity that sends your family to a new community, moving means dealing with—and often throwing out—a lot of stuff.
Although some waste is to be expected with moving, there are simple steps you can take to make your move greener. Review our checklist to see what you can do!
- Before moving week rolls around, have a plan to pack and organize what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. Approaching moving with a plan will give you more time to think about what to throw away, what to reuse and what to recycle.
- If you know your moving date well in advance, consider having a rummage sale or donating items you don't want. This way you can reduce what you have to deal with at the last minute.
- Consider reusing boxes from previous moves, or boxes from businesses. Many retailers will offer you their used boxes if you ask. Similarly, cloth bags, laundry baskets and large plastic containers are an easy, reusable way to get you from one home to another. If you're using a moving company, it may have reusable materials you can use, especially to protect larger items.
- In addition to containers, look for recyclable or reusable options for packing fragile items. Use newspapers to wrap dishes or T-shirts to wrap pictures and breakables. If you do use bubble wrap or Styrofoam, save it after your move to give to friends or reuse yourself.
- Cleaning supplies can be taken with you, or left to new tenants. Ask your landlord about their policy on leaving reusable supplies for future tenants.
- Donate items you don't want to take with you to thrift stores, charities or other organizations in your community. Donating keeps your old belongings out of the trash loop, and helps those in need. Most organizations accept donations of clothes, household goods, furniture and some electronics. Look for charities such as Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul and contact them in advance so you know what they accept. You can also contact your college/university or community recycling program to see if they have set up any special donation sites.
- In addition to charitable donation, look for free "stuff exchange" sites that some communities operate, or use print or Internet classified ads to sell more valuable items.
- When furnishing your new home, consider purchasing used furniture, plates, silverware, etc. By purchasing secondhand, you are reducing the need for new materials and saving money!
- If items are no longer in usable condition, recycle them. Recycling is available throughout Wisconsin for many plastics, paper, glass and metal items. Some communities and retailers have drop-off sites for recycling materials you can't throw in your usual bin, such as plastic plant pots and running shoes. For more information on what can be recycled in your community, and where to recycle other materials, see Recycle More Wisconsin [exit DNR].
- Recycle old electronics like computers, printers and cell phones. E-Cycle Wisconsin provides a list of collection locations across the state . See a list of collection sites and more information on E-Cycle Wisconsin.
- If you will be getting rid of any large appliances, check with your local recycling program to find out if you need a special permit or pick-up registration for the appliance to be recycled.
- Use caution when disposing of household hazardous wastes. Materials like paint, chemical cleaners, some electronics and others need to be disposed of properly to prevent damage to your health, or those around you.
- If you are performing any demolition or construction on your home before moving, look into household reuse and recycling programs in your area. Organizations such as Habitat ReStore accept doors, wood, light and bathroom fixtures, cabinets and many other items in good condition that can be reused. Other businesses or programs accept scrap wood, metal, parts, carpeting and other products for recycling. If you're buying new products or materials, ask your retailer about recycling and reuse options, or contact your local recycling program. See the Wisconsin Recycling Markets Directory [exit DNR] for a searchable list of recyclable materials and locations.
Responsibly dispose
- Check with your community's garbage program to see if there are special requirements for disposing of large items (such as mattresses and furniture). If you are in a college neighborhood or other area where a large number of people are moving at once, check with your community garbage collection program to see if there are special collections or rules for the big move-out day.
- See Recycling and composting for more information on proper disposal of certain materials.
Home remodeling
Home remodeling for residents
Adding a new deck? Slapping on a new coat of paint? Finally fixing the roof? When improving your home, you can reduce, reuse and recycle, saving money and protecting the environment as well.
Make a plan
Before you begin a house project, consult the DNR's Planning Your Demolition or Renovation Project [PDF], a step-by-step checklist for evaluating hazards, keeping your home and family safe and providing recycling and waste disposal options. Although the checklist is geared toward commercial and industrial projects, it still provides helpful information for homeowners. It is also available in Spanish [PDF]. Additional information can be found on the DNR's construction and demolition pages.
Find uses for leftover paint. Leftover oil-based paints are considered a household hazardous waste.
Conserve paints and stains
The easiest way to avoid wasting paint is by purchasing only as much as you need for the job. If you have leftover paint, find use for it in other projects or share it with a neighbor. Paint and stain outdoors with dark colors that will not need excessive cleaning or re-coating over the years.
Dispose of leftovers safely
Check product labels to see if you are using hazardous materials and be sure to store them safely, reuse them when able and dispose of them properly.
- Water-based and latex paints are generally non-toxic but should be air-dried (or mixed with an absorbent like kitty litter) until solid before being placed in the trash.
- Solvent-based or oil-based paints are toxic and flammable and can contaminate drinking water if disposed of improperly. They should be treated as household hazardous waste.
The DNR's Household HazWaste Management Guide [PDF] is an easy reference sheet for determining how to dispose of various household products. Contact your local collection sites [PDF] to learn whether they accept paints, solvents, stains and household cleaning products. You can also use the program search tool at the Solid & Hazardous Waste Education Center [exit DNR].
Used asphalt shingles, like these, can be collected and recycled.
If you are re-roofing a house, you may be able to recycle your asphalt shingles. Check with your roofing contractor to see if they will recycle shingles. Recycled shingles can be used in road repairs and kept out of landfills.
Reuse home fixtures
When possible, preserve doors, wood, light and bathroom fixtures, cabinets and other items in good condition that can be reused. Organizations like Habitat ReStore accept these items for reuse in home and other building projects. Other businesses accept scrap wood, metal, carpeting and other products for recycling. See the Wisconsin Recycling Markets Directory [exit DNR] for a searchable list of recyclable materials and drop-off locations.
Recycle home debris
Sorting home debris into piles like this one makes it easier to collect and recycle.
When building up or breaking down, create a designated "to recycle" pile where you can collect wood, plastics, glass and metal items. Some communities and retailers have drop-off sites for recycling materials not collected with general curbside service. For more information on what can be recycled in your community, and where to recycle other materials, see Recycle More Wisconsin [exit DNR] or the Wisconsin Recycling Markets Directory [exit DNR].
Furnishing the addition
The Green Building Products Guide [exit DNR] presents an easy way to find reused and recycled building materials for your project. When furnishing your new addition, consider purchasing used furniture and other furnishings. By purchasing secondhand, you are reducing the need for new materials and saving money!
Tailgating and cooking out
Wisconsin tailgates and cookouts are great opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle.
For Wisconsin sports fans, tailgating and grilling out are a matter of pride. Whatever your team's colors, you can take a few simple steps to make sure your tailgate remains green.
Buy supplies in bulk
Buying drinks and snacks in bulk reduces packaging waste. Clean cardboard and plastic film around beverage cases are recyclable.
Use reusable dishware
Bringing reusable dinnerware and cloth napkins to a tailgate cuts down on the amount of waste that has to go to a landfill. People can bring their own reusable plates, cups and containers. You can also often find low-cost, durable dishware for tailgating at a local thrift shop. Having a sealable container to hold dirty dishes while you enjoy the game will keep your vehicle clean.
Grill green
At the grill, using a chimney starter and lump charcoal or all-natural briquettes cuts down on air pollutants. An electric grill does, too.
Bring your own bags
Bring separate bags for collecting trash and recycling. Collect all of your recyclables as you eat and drop the bags off at the public recycle bins on your way to the stands or back home. This makes sure you recycle everything you can while avoiding the need for multiple trips. If there are no public bins on site, you can save the bagged materials easily and recycle them at home.
Place and label bins clearly

If you are hosting a sporting event or are in charge of an event venue, be sure to place trash and recycling bins in easily accessible, visible locations where visitors will be able to see and use them. The DNR offers tips on how to promote recycling and waste reduction at your event and free signs for labeling your recycling bins.

- Recycling and Waste Reduction at Your Special Event [PDF]
Make recycling part of the fun
For larger groups, especially those involving kids, you can turn recycling into a pre-game activity. Put out multiple recycling bags and label them with players' names. Tailgaters can vote on their favorite player by tossing their recyclables into the corresponding bag. This gives people an extra reason to recycle and makes final clean-up easy.
Organize a car pool
Organizing a car pool to the tailgate or cookout site is not only eco-friendly, it also makes finding parking easier and limits the need for multiple designated drivers.
Fall yard care
Fall yard care
That swish and crunch of autumn leaves underfoot is the sound of opportunity. Mulching leaves and composting yard materials allow residents to protect the state's air quality and public health, reduce costs for local governments and households and relieve communities and the environment of the hazards of burning. A growing number of communities have local rules in place that further restrict or completely prohibit burning yard materials.
Using leaves for mulch and compost can also enrich the health of lawns and gardens, save money on fertilizer and save municipalities money on yard waste collection. Try one of the following easy methods to manage leaves, branches, grass clippings and other yard trimmings.
Autumn leaves sparkle in the sunlight.
Home composting
If you would rather compost your leaves, there are many easy structures you can build to start a compost pile. Be sure to maintain a mix of "browns" (fallen leaves, dead plants, coffee grounds and small branches) and "greens" (grass clippings, green plants and food scraps). Finished compost can be sprinkled into lawn soil or used in a garden to provide organic material and nutrients. Ultimately, this builds soil organic content and reduces the need for fertilizers.
Mulching leaves in place
Leaves are rich in carbon, phosphorus and potassium – all essential nutrients needed by plants, including turf grasses. Mow leaves along with the grass during fall and leave the finely chopped material on your lawn. Another option is to rake up the leaf pieces and use them as winter ground cover for gardens and around trees and shrubs. This will help insulate plants and protect them from winter freeze damage.
Mulching leaves returns nutrients to the soil.
Keep leaves handy for next season
Dry leaves keep well in plastic bags, and many people keep a few bags of leaves from the fall to add "browns" to their compost piles throughout the year. You can also use your stored leaves for mulch. In the spring, spread them on your garden and around trees and shrubs to save on the cost of buying new mulch.

Environmental health in emergencies and disasters
Photo: Keystone
Emergencies and disasters can occur anywhere in the world, affecting human health, people's lives and the infrastructure built to support them. Environmental health problems arising from emergencies and disasters are connected to their effects on the physical, biological and social environment that pose a threat to human health, well-being and survival: shelter, water, sanitation, disease vectors, pollution, etc.
WHO's work concerns not only effective response to emergencies derived from disasters but also reducing the vulnerability of communities to hazards and increasing their ability to withstand disruption and to recover rapidly.

Unnecessary Humiliation
The very thought of several thousand settlers declaring war on the government, as if the forces were even remotely balanced, and using the IDF weapons they have at home, is absurd.
As the date set for disengagement comes closer, a dark cloud looms over Israel in the form of a possible clash between the enforcement authorities of the state, equipped to the nines, and 8,000 settlers stripped of everything they have in the world. Interviewed by NBC, Ariel Sharon, both Ma and Pa of the settlements, described the atmosphere in Israel as civil-warish.
The very thought of several thousand settlers declaring war on the government, as if the forces were even remotely balanced, and using the IDF weapons they have at home, is absurd. Anyone with half a brain can see that the residents of Gush Katif stand no chance against the tremendous might of the state. But that hasn't kept the defense establishment and every one of its branches from preparing for the worst - a violent confrontation and live fire.
From the moment Sharon ordered the defense establishment to gear up for evacuation, a joint staff of defense officials has been hunched over the maps, planning and rehearsing every detail of the pullout. To call up the reserve soldiers or not, to use policemen to spearhead the operation or not. The police are saying that if all their manpower is sent to Gush Katif, it'll be party time for Israel's thieves. As if the thieves aren't partying when the whole police force is in town.
The truth is, the settlers are better at talking than at carrying out their promise to fight to the last drop of blood. The hilltop youth and Kahane boys, who look like your average toughs, are the stage props for the horror show known as civil war. There aren't many of them, so keeping them out of Gush Katif is not such a problem.
But even if access to outside troublemakers is blocked, two dangers remain. One, that while the defense forces are busy evacuating Gush Katif, the Land of Israel hoodlums will disrupt life all over the country, or commit acts that would provoke the Palestinians into carrying out deadly terror attacks. And two, the soldiers and police sent to clear out the settlers could end up clashing with them as the country sits and watches the heartrending scenes on prime-time TV. We've seen such incidents before, at one outpost or another - tears streaming down the girls' faces to the point where you couldn't tell the evacuees from those doing the evacuating. It was tough for both sides. And for the viewers, too.
The danger of some bullet being shot accidentally in the heat of the fray, and that bullet hitting a baby, leading both sides to open fire, is the biggest nightmare of them all. To keep such a thing from happening, the defense minister has decided to round up all the IDF weapons now in the settlers' hands, and have the evacuating force go into the settlements unarmed - a kind of mutual disarmament. But it is hard to believe that the soldiers in the second line of defense would be unarmed.
The possibility of the Palestinians suddenly opening fire during the pullout is not inconceivable. On a stupidity scale of 1 to 10, the Palestinians seem to have this inborn tendency to score 10. It would be mighty embarrassing if the settlers were left with no IDF-issue guns to defend themselves.
The tongue-waggers have come up with the heartless theory that just as Sharon's political standing at home was built on the settlements, humiliating the settlers now will boost him in the eyes of the Israeli public, which wants an accord; in the eyes of Labor and Shinui, as they aim for a government alliance in 2006; in the eyes of the European Union, the United States, Egypt and Jordan; and in the eyes of the Palestinians, of course. A head-on confrontation will get all the crazies creeping out of the woodwork. They will drag out the huge stash of weapons they have tucked away and give Sharon an excuse to return fire, to show who's boss once and for all.
This scenario sounds too Machiavellian for comfort. But Israel has to find a way to get through the disengagement ordeal in one piece. It is important to convey to the residents of Gush Katif, who are facing no small trauma, that it is also hard for those who are escorting them on their way, that the disengagement is being carried out with a tear in their eye and a lump in their throats. It is important that what the right calls the "first transfer of Jews from their homes in three generations" will be implemented efficiently, but also honorably. Disarming the settlers in advance is an unnecessary humiliation.
