Name: TJ
Gender: Male
Age: 41
Location: ma
ever since i was a teen i have had the hots for my dad. i would walk into the bathroom on him, or his room to see him naked and to see his dick. i use to love catching him jack off. i loved to see him in his boxers, and would jack off in his boxers. i even would play with him when he was a sleep get him hard and jack myself off. i thought i was over this till he stayed with me over the weekend. he came out of the bathroom in just his boxers. i was only wearing my boxers also. i became hard and excited. the old thought of playing with his cock came back. that night i went into the guest room took out his penis from his boxers and played with it. till it was erect. i then took a pair of his boxers and jacked off in them. i am 41 now should i have out grown this attraction to my dad?? he knows i am gay, we have talked several times about my playing with him but should this attraction continue?? — lost and confused in dads boxers
This is precious, TJ. You've been fondlin' and jerkin' off your old man for decades, albeit while he "sleeps." (He's one hell of a deep sleeper, huh?) He knows all about you, your attraction to him and your late night play sessions with his cock and underwear. But he still comes for a visit. And predictably, you set upon him again in his sleep. How may more incredible things could you possibly add to a single paragraph?
And all you want to know is, is it odd that you continue to behave like this with your father and continue to have this attraction to him now that you're 41 years old. AMAZING! Odd? Yeah, I'll say it's odd!
Where to begin? Oh skip it! If you and your dad (now somewhere in his late 60's or even 70's) are still playing at this little game it must be pretty harmless by this time.
Your behavior and attraction continue because you feed it, darling. No big mystery there.
Name: Alan
Gender: Male
Age: 41
Location: Victoria
I find it takes me for ever to jack off even watching videos it can take 40 minutes an when I do shoot it is only a small amount.
You don't say, Alan! I've never heard that question before. No wait, that's baloney. I've heard and written extensively about this very issue.
Look to your right. See the CATEGORY pull down menu in the sidebar? EXCELLENT! Now search for the terms: "Ejaculate" and "Ejaculation Concerns" and "Cum." Between these categories you will find the answers you are looking for.
Here's a tip: you'll also want to check out what I've had to say about "Kegels." You're gonna want to know all about these handy-dandy exercises to tone up your PC muscle. Both men and women need to attend to their PC muscle. Not sure what the fuck I'm talking about. Not to worry. You have some fun reading and listening ahead of you.
Good luck

Court Again Says It's Okay For The Feds To Snoop Through Your Digital Info Without Telling You
from the that-old-4th-amendment dept
Following this, Jonsdottir, Appelbaum and one other person, Rop Gonggrijp, (represented by the ACLU and the EFF), chose not to challenge that ruling, but did appeal concerning the secrecy around the order -- asking the court to have the specific 2703(d) order unsealed -- arguing that they have the right to access judicial documents about themselves. However, last week, an appeals court rejected that appeal, and basically said that the feds can sniff through your digital data without your knowledge, and, well, too bad if you don't like it.
Even though the court did find that 2703(d) orders are "judicial records," which could make them subject to a right to access, they then claimed that, well, when the government investigates things, it should be able to do so in absolute secrecy, and who really cares about pesky little things like oversight or a right to know about it.
Subscribers' contentions fail for several reasons. First, the record shows that the magistrate judge considered the stated public interests and found that the Government's interests in maintaining the secrecy of its investigation, preventing potential subjects from being tipped off, or altering behavior to thwart the Government's ongoing investigation, outweighed those interests.The government gets to peer deeper and deeper into our lives, and we're less and less able to even know about it.
Further, we agree with the magistrate judge's findings that the common law presumption of access to § 2703 orders is outweighed by the Government's interest in continued sealing because the publicity surrounding the WikiLeaks investigation does not justify its unsealing. The mere fact that a case is high profile in nature does not necessarily justify public access.... Additionally, Subscribers' contention that the balance of interests tips in the public's favor because the Government approved the disclosure of the existence of its investigation by moving the district court to unseal the Twitter Order is adequately counterbalanced by the magistrate judge's finding that the "sealed documents at issue set forth sensitive nonpublic facts, including the identity of targets and witnesses in an ongoing criminal investigation."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb baseball head coach Jeff Forehand has added six players to the roster for the upcoming 2014 season including a quartet of Nashville area players.
Goodlettsville native Jonathan Allison joins the Lipscomb squad after hitting .315 with 10 doubles, 29 runs scored, and 30 RBIs in 2013 for Volunteer State Community College in Motlow.
"Jonathan has a variety of solid skills as an outfielder," said Forehand. "He is a solid defender in the outfield and a speedy left-handed bat that challenges the defense with each trip to the plate. He does the small things that help make teams better and we are excited to see the impact he will have on our team."
A prepster from Northland Christian High School in Houston, Texas, Allan Hooker will add to the outfield depth for the Bisons in 2014. Hooker hit .414 with 35 runs scored and 42 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 31 games of action for NCHS.
"Allan has the opportunity to do a lot of things for us," said Forehand. "He is a speedy outfielder that can run it down in the gaps and burn up the base paths. We're looking forward to seeing what he can do this fall."
A Franklin native, Adam Lee joins the Bisons after two seasons at Central Arizona College in Coolidge, Ariz. Adam appeared in 48 games hitting .312 with five doubles, 18 runs scored, 24 RBIs and 18 walks.
"Adam is a true baseball guy that is going to make an impact in the spring," said Forehand. "He is a very good player that can help us in several positions."
Originally a Vanderbilt signee out of Independence High School, Josh Lee will join brother Adam after a season together at Central Arizona. Josh batted .302 with four doubles, a dozen runs scored, 21 RBIs and five stolen bases in 36 games this spring. The Lee duo helped lead the Vaqueros to the 2013 ACCAC championship.
"Josh is a Middle Tennessee guy that has the same characteristics of his brother," said Forehand. "He can play multiple positions and play them well. We'll be able to use him in the infield and the outfield and expect him to make an impact with his bat as well."
Adding depth to the Lipscomb bullpen is Holy Cross transfer Conor Moynihan. The righty spent the last three seasons pitching for the Crusaders appearing in a handful of games after a standout prep career at Burncoat High School.
"Conor is a guy that will enhance our bullpen with Division I experience," said Forehand. "His submarine style will be a huge addition to our pitching arsenal to match up against opposing hitters."
Rounding out the new additions is Donelson Christian southpaw Jamie Young. The district MVP went 8-1 as a senior for the Wildcats posting a 0.95 earned run average in 59 innings of work. The lefty also fanned 89 batters in his final season at DCHS.
"Jamie has a huge ceiling," said Forehand. "He is coming off a fantastic senior season and we look forward to seeing him progress with us and having him as a part of our pitching staff."

For the past month I have been fortunate to be in the Troutdale area enjoying a wonderful mountain escape from my eastern North Carolina hot and humid summer.
In addition to the friendly folks in the region, I was surprised and thrilled to discover that the Grant Community Computer Center in the Grant Grange Hall has a wonderful computer center with 10 new desktop computers.
Last weekend the drinking water of 400,000 Toledo residents was fouled by animal waste.
With unfettered growth of animal agriculture and ineffective discharge regulations, it will happen again in our own state.
The problem has become pervasive. Waste from chicken farms has rendered ocean off the East Coast unfit for fishing.
Waste from Midwest cattle ranches carried by the Mississippi River has created a permanent "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico larger than that of the infamous 2010 BP oil spill.
Several weeks ago, a friend and I were traveling by motorcycle through your area when my friend dropped his bike and was injured.
We went to the Twin County Regional Hospital, where we met several helpful people, with two being memorable.
One was a local preacher who was at the hospital to comfort a woman whose charge was injured. The other was the same woman who, I believe, is the principal of the school of the injured girl. I'd like to say I remember their names, but sadly, I can't.
Why hasn't the rash of recent burglaries in the Elk Creek section of Grayson County been addressed?
On July 10 between 3 and 9:30 p.m. my home was broken in to. Every spot was checked and jewelry and knives were stolen. I'm not finished with the lost inventory.
In speaking with neighbors, I discovered there have been break-ins in [multiple] places in Elk Creek and one in Fries.
Anything that can't be nailed down is hauled off from homes, barns, garages. Even dogs have offered no protection.
I recently was a patient in the outpatient department of Twin County Regional Hospital for a eye cataract removal.
I had excellent care from every person of the department.
Also, Dr. Davis and his staff was excellent. I give the department and Dr. Davis an A+.
I believe if more people would try the hospital's services, they would not want to go to other hospitals.
l think, or rather know, that the hospital does great work.

As Galax's Safe Routes to School program winds up its first school year of teaching students about walking and riding bikes to school, we would like to thank the following for their support:
The City of Galax, its council and staff; Galax City Public Schools administration, board and staff; New River Trail State Park staff; parents who participated; Twin County Regional Healthcare and local businesses who donated services and products, including Main Street Bike Shop, George's Cones and Coffee, Walmart and Durospin.
The recent Gazette editorial encouraging Fries Town Council to revisit the master plan for revitalization was spot on.
For Fries to flourish economically, it must first embrace its history and scenic beauty to attract tourist dollars rather than immediately redefine itself as a site for industrial opportunism.
Successful marketing of existing strengths will grow the economy, elevate community visibility, and attract appropriate business ventures rather than suffer at the mercy of a hodge-podge of disconnected businesses.
The hullabaloo over crossing the red line when it comes to radical nations' leaders who kill their own people to stay in power.
Talk, excuses and vacation time is the norm for this government.
Here in our own backyard and government are agencies rife with abuse, incompetence, emptiness, stupidity and political favors.
From the way our veterans are treated back from war, to the IRS, National Security Agency and Environmental Protection Agency (run by a bunch of morons), the CIA — all lost in the land of Oz.
Medicare, Medicaid, private party insurance, the (Un)Affordable Care Act, various charities for various ills, strange world indeed.
Police funding from asset forfeiture from drug arrests, used to buy more weapons, body armor and crime scene equipment.
All while there is a bill, HR 4498 put forward by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R‑Va) in Congress to allow states to appropriately use marijuana for health care. Yes indeed it is a strange world.
I am delighted that the Environmental Protection Agency has finally moved to abate the disastrous impacts of climate change by regulating carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
But, given the adverse reaction from the coal industry, the agency should have issued parallel regulations on emissions from meat industry operations.
Each state could than determine its own optimal strategy for curbing greenhouse gases.

Kathleen's "Formal Navy" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Kathleen
- Location:
- Merrimac, MA
- Division:
- Dark
- Inspiration for my palette:
- There is a tremendous amount of light that floods my house so I thought that the walls could handle a dramatic and deep color like navy. I didn't want to make everything too dark so I complimented it with a crisp, cool white.
- Colors used in my room:
- Loyal blue and pure white, both by Sherwin-Williams. Using the navy and white as a base, I added browns to keep the room from looking too nautical, and accented with metallics and kelly green.
- Tips for using color successfully:
- The best tip I can offer is to be fearless. It is only paint, it can be changed. It is far better to try a color and have to paint over it than live with beige.

Like the above poster said, only courses that were completed to get your bachelors degree count. (Your first bachelors degree--going back and getting a new one won't help either.)
I graduated many years ago and I have a Bachelors degree but my GPA is low and I want to improve my GPA. If I take classes at the community college near me, will this help raise my LSAC GPA? Thanks in advance.Please help
Yes an no. No it won't help your undergrad degree GPA, but HELL YES!!! It'll help you're "cumulative GPA" which is a huge part of what the LSAC shows on your LSDAS file. It merges ALL schools together. That's why some guys who had bad GPA's at one school and transfer to another and graduate with a 4.0 there still can have a 2.75 on their file that lawschools see. So yeah, it may be worth it.
thank you so much everybody for your information .I really appreciate it.SaraJean i just want to make that I understood it clearly : no matter if the college degree is transfered into your university or it's just a cooking course , if it's not after your firt bachelor's degree , it will be counted on your LSAC Gpa ?I mean that cooking course can improve your GPA What if it's not from a community college ? i mean if its from a private college???I have a paralegal diploma from a private college , and it was right before i got my Bachelor's degree . My grades in that college course for paralegal were excellent but not in my bachelor's grades , so will that improve my LSAC GPA please lemme knowthanks

Compact yet complete
As a resident of District 2, one of the biggest inconveniences here is the lack of a good proper supermarket with fresh daily supplies that don't cost an arm and a leg. For years, Metro the German hypermart had enjoyed the monopoly in this area, so the opening of Big C Supermarket at the basement level of Cantavil Premier is a breath fresh air.
Big C AnPhu opens from 7.30am daily and it can get pretty crowded by 9am. This may not be a very big supermarket, but the variety of products and goods are extensive while the qualities are commendable. Fresh fruits and vegetables are stocked daily, and the packages of VietGAP (Vietnam Good Agricultural Practices) certified leafy greens are my usual must-buy. Prices here are really reasonable although not the cheapest, if say compared to Co-op Mart Nguyen DinhChieu in District 3.
The delicatessen is probably the most popular section. Serving a wide range of food prepared fresh everyday, you can find fried chicken, roast pork, mixed rice, salad, spaghetti bolognaise, local desserts, kimbap, sashimi, sushi and more, all priced very economically. It's also great to note that all the deli workers wear masks and caps for hygiene purposes.
Big C has all the supermarket essentials; from fresh produce to seafood, poultry, dairy, frozen/ canned/ processed food, bakery, toiletries, household items, and even toys, clothes and stationeries. The one thing they can improve on is to open more checkout counters during peak hours, as queues are usually long and time consuming. Additionally, the rule that requires customers to store their bags at the bag deposit counter next to the entrance is also a bit of a hassle.

Lumbar (low back) spinal stenosis is often the result of the aging
process, which over time causes the soft tissues and bones in the spine to
harden or grow excessively. These changes may narrow the spinal canal and put
pressure on the spinal nerve roots. Spinal stenosis is seen
most often in adults older than age 50.
Some people develop spinal stenosis because of back problems they are
born with. This is known as congenital spinal stenosis. Symptoms of congenital
spinal stenosis are often first noticed before age 40.

Hello, Eric
The content you uploaded works OK on my PC. Could you please explain me which configuration you have chosen on creating a policy file?
Thank you,
5. Re: How to Demo Output Protection SamplesEric.H Sep 24, 2010 10:06 AM (in response to delgerdalai)
Glad to hear the content works for you. Here are some test cases you can use in the future, if you would like to demo the Output Protection feature of Flash Access. Before going into the test cases, I'd like to note one thing - that all laptop displays are identified as "internal/embedded displays", and content which is protected with Output Protection will always play on laptops or embedded devices. Output Protection restrictions only come into play when you hook up an external monitor.
[ If you are using the Reference Implementation License Server ]
1. Package content, ensuring the following properties are set in your flashaccesstools.properties file when creating the policy:
1a. policy.outputProtection.analog=REQUIRED
1b. policy.outputProtection.digital=REQUIRED
2. Play the content on a Windows or Mac laptop; notice the video plays.
3. On the Windows machine, attach a monitor that is HDCP compliant & play the same video; notice the video plays.
4. On the Mac machine, attach a monitor that is HDCP compliant & play the same video; notice the video does NOT play.
5. On the Windows machine, attach a monitor that is not HDCP compliant; the video should not play.
[ If you are using the License Server for Protected Streaming ]
1. Modify your flashaccess-tenant.xml file line to look like this: <OutputProtection analog="REQUIRED" digital="REQUIRED"/>
2. Follow the same test cases mentioned above. Note that there is no need to explicitly specify rights/restrictions in the policy, as the License Server for Protected Streaming will ignore whatever is specified in the content's policy and only apply the rights/restrictions listed in the flashaccess-tenant.xml file.
6. How to Create Output Protection SamplesEric.H Sep 24, 2010 10:30 AM (in response to delgerdalai)
[ Using the AIR-based Flash Access UI Manager ]
0. Ensure you have properly set up the Flash Access Manager (see step #5 of: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashaccess/pdfs/FAXS_2_0_Quickstart.pdf)
1. Navigate to the "Policy Creation" tab, click "New" to create a new policy, and then navigate to the "Play Right" tab.
2. Set the desired Digital and Analog Output Protection levels (see reference image)
3. Select the "Save" button, select it from the pull-down "Select Policy" menu, and then "Use to Package" to navigate to the packaging tab
4. Select your new policy from the "Policy File Name(s)" pulldown menu, populate the filename or directory of the content you'd like to package, and then click the "Package Media" button.
[ Using the Java Command-line tools ]
0. Ensure you have properly set up the Flash Access Manager (see section #9 of: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashaccess/2.0/protecting_content.pdf)
1. Modify the flashaccesstools.properties file to have the following properties set:
2. Create the policy: java -jar libs\AdobePolicyManager.jar new OP_Required.pol
3. Package your content with this policy: java -jar libs\AdobePackager.jar sampleUnprotectedVid.flv OutputProtectedVid.flv -p OP_Required.pol

Hi Eric,
Thank you for these DRM examples :-)
For each of the 4 samples, could you summarize what DRM feature each implements? And what minimum version of Flash Player will be required for playback of each? Lastly, if possible including links into the documentation regarding what DRM feature each implements?
I ask about Flash Player versions because I assume some may require FP 10.1? Or FP 10.0? Yet others earlier versions of FP? For instance, can any use FP 9 or earlier?
Thank you again for the great resource that these sample links are. (Plus, I love the various personas of Karl Miller that they demonstrate ;-)
8. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples? (Sample Content)Eric.H Apr 13, 2011 11:23 AM (in response to greg•hamer)
Hi Greg,
1. All Flash Access enabled content require Flash Player 10.1 or later. Flash Player 10 and before has no support for Flash Access.
As for descriptions of the 4 DRM sample content provided by Adobe, all functionality provided by our policy and packaging tools (as well as the SDK they use) can be found in the "Protecting Content" document. I'll list page numbers for how to set these particular properties using our Java-based AdobePolicyManager.jar tool. The nice thing about knowing the property names the tool uses is that they correlate with the Flash Access Java API class of what you'll have to modify, if using the SDK directly. For instance "policy.startDate" correlates to the Java API "com.adobe.flashaccess.sdk.policy.Policy.getStartDate()".
All content public-facing content can be found at:
Descriptions of each content's policy can be found at:

Hi Eric..
Is it possible to enforce Output Protection Controls (Required) and enable the video playback on specific external devices such as
1. On a HD TV connecting through a HDMI Cable and Analog TV connecting throgh a S-cable
2. External monitor connected to a laptop.
Thanks for your time in advance.
10. Re: How to Create Output Protection SamplesEric.H Jan 21, 2011 1:59 PM (in response to cnusree)
Hi Sreeni,
Flash Access 2.0 provides the ability to specify whether an output to external rendering devices is protected. You can specify analog and digital outputs independently. For more information, you can look at our documentation and go to the subsection on Output Protection: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashaccess/2.0/protecting_content.pdf

Please let me know how authentication dialog in strobe media playback comes into play.
And for testing with strobe media playback what type of url i need to pass .
I am beginner and posted many question.
May be my questions may seem you people very stupid, but the thing is i don't know much about OSMF/SMP/AS3.
I am in learning phase.
I posted many question but no body answered me.
hope you will answer my question.
Thanks and regards.
12. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples?Eric.H Apr 11, 2011 10:05 AM (in response to Rasool.Irfan)
1. Which other questions did you post that never got answered? Adobe tries its best to stay on top of all forum questions - we'll get to your questions ASAP if they have fallen through the cracks.
2a. More information on strobe media playback can be found here: http://osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html
2b. You can pass any URL of the the following file types into the Strobe Media Player: FLV, F4V, F4M
2c. FLV: http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/zz_archive/sample_enc.flv
2d. F4V: http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/Indesign_cache30_expire05.f4v
2e. F4M: http://drmtest.adobe.com:8143/vod/drmtest/sample2_1000kbps.f4m
3. The "authentication dialog" for Strobe comes into play if you encrypt a piece of content and designate that it requires authentication. By doing this, you are using Flash Access' authentication mechanism. When setting up your Flash Access license server, you should install the Reference Implementation license server, which supports Flash Access authentication out-of-the-box, and has SQL scripts to add some sample users.
4. For even more research/learning materials, the Flash Access repository of documentation can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashaccess/index.html

Hi Eric,
Thank you so much.
I was really excited to see your reply.
I started working on your given links.
But the thing is i am bit confused with the strobe media playback source code.
That is beacuase i donot know much about ActionScript 3.0, but side by side i am also learning as3.
Please suggest how i will be able to understand the flow and edit available feature like changing default position of control bar elements, adding logo image to video being displayed in strobe media playback and other things.
How i should start so that i will get better insight of OSMF.
I will be waiting for your favorable response.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Eric,
seems as if some of the demo files are not available any more, especially the one you mentioned at the beginning of this thread.
I just tried the links with FMP (http://osmf.org/configurator/fmp) but only http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/zz_archive/sample_enc.flv did work while this is actually not DRM'ed at all I think.

Thanks for your precious time and valuable feedback, I am now feeling very much comfortable.
I extended OSMF and developed a simple media player.
I was also able to change the default icons of the Strobe media playback ControlBar.
Now i want to add a logo image that should get displayed along with the video in strobe media playback.
I can add logo image to my newly extended simple media playback extended from OSMF.
But I am confused how to add logo image in strobe media playback.
I edited strobe media playback source code at many places, but all in vain.
So could you let me know where I have to add code ( in strobe media playback) for logo image that will be a parallel element to get displayed along with video in strobe media playback?
Thanks and Regards.
18. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples?Eric.H Apr 14, 2011 12:09 PM (in response to Rasool.Irfan)
It seems your questions are moving away from Flash Access (my area of expertise) towards OSMF.
I think you'll be better helped if you post your questions to one of the following forums:

Hi Eric,
What are the best techniques to protect content's being played via strobe media playback..
User should be able only to view the videos.
There should be no option for video download, even if user has installed real player.
Because by installing real player, it provides download option.
Thanks and regards
20. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples?Eric.H Apr 18, 2011 10:40 AM (in response to Rasool.Irfan)
If your goal is to protect the content, then simply using Flash Access will assure that.
Users will always be able to save content that is streamed to their computer; there are several ways to do this. However, if the video is protected by Flash Access, it is encrypted in such a way that only the client that was issued the license can playback the video. In addition, the license issued by Flash Access is bound to the client that requested it - it cannot be copied to other computers.
This binding of licenses to the client, encryption, and license rights and restrictions provided by Flash Access, provides the highest level of security for your video content.
21. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples?Rasool.Irfan Jun 1, 2011 4:17 AM (in response to Eric.H)
I have installed the trial version of Flash Media Server 4.
FMS provides SWF Verification and RTMPE Protection for securing video streams.
But for protecting/encrypting my video assets do I need to separately to install Flash Access that you have mentioned earlier. Or Flash Media Server also does video content encryption.
By protecting video contents I mean which will require credentials while accessing.
Like you have posted the demo urls that requires username and password
Many Thanks And Regards

Eric - When I attempt to access any of the http://drmtest.adobe.com/... URLs that you've listed, I get a "Site unavailable" messge.
Is this a temporary problem, or has the content been moved?
23. Re: Public Facing Flash Access DRM Examples?Eric.H Jun 2, 2011 10:47 AM (in response to Ed Windes)
Unfortunately, http://drmtest.adobe.com is temporarily down for maintenance. I am unsure when our IT team will be able to bring the machine back online.
In the meantime, though, another option to validate Flash Access has installed correctly would be to visit one of our customer's site, who has deployed Flash Access, like www.vudu.com. Playback of any of their videos will indicate the successful installation of Flash Access.

Write some Articles
Budget $30-250 USD
Research and write a paper on the topic: The Impacts of Privacy and Security in the Election Process.
As we discuss networking, security and privacy we find real world examples of class topics in the daily news. To name just a few: Russian hackers intercepting e-mails; the release of confidential data in WIKILEAKS and other sources; the release of audio/video tapes; the security of Texas voting machines compromised; NSA records made public. At no time in the history of US elections has information privacy been such a concern.
Your first research paper will cover how information security and privacy have affected the US election. It should detail many of the recent events and their impacts. Include research to discuss the events and solutions that could have alleviated or even prevented the problems. You can add an historical perspective. Discuss the impact to other countries. What do you foresee happening before and during future elections?
Include facts from other sources (all properly cited) as well information we've covered in class. Provide your own opinions and thoughts, as well as a synthesis of the information.
I expect a thorough report of approximately 10 pages.

HSBC Asian TIGERS Opportunity Deposit Notes, Series 5
Matured price*: 98.69 %
Maturity date: 22 May 2013
The Notes will pay, if held to maturity: i) 100 per cent of the principal amount invested; and ii) a variable return, if any, linked to the increase, if any, in the value of a notional index basket comprised of four (4) equally weighted Asian indices. The change in value of each index will be measured from its closing level on 16 May 2008 to the arithmetic average of the closing levels of each index on specified preset quarterly observation dates (16th of August, November, February, and May). The performance of each index (positive or negative) will then be weighted equally to determine the index basket return and the variable return, if any.
Key features
|Issue date:
|22 May 2008
|Maturity date:
|22 May 2013
|Note term:
|5 years
|Selling Agent Fees:
|4.00% paid upfront
- Eligible for registered accounts
- Principal protected at maturity
- Linked to four (4) equally weighted Asian indices
- Return based on quarterly averaging
Underlying asset(s)
|Index component weight
|KOSPI 200 Index®
|MSCI Taiwan IndexSM
|Hang Seng Index®
|MSCI Singapore IndexSM
Are the Notes right for you?
The Notes may be an appropriate investment for you, if, among other things: (1) you are looking for safety of principal if held to maturity; (2) want exposure to an investment that is linked to the performance of Asian equities while tracking the performance of generally recognised Asian market indices; (3) want to diversify your exposure to more than one Asian equity index; and (4) are investing for the longer term and believe that Asian equity markets will appreciate.
The Notes do not provide investors with a return or income stream prior to maturity. The effective yield to maturity of the Notes may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt instrument. The Notes are generally more suitable for purchasing and holding up to maturity. Potential investors should consult with their own investment, legal and tax advisers to determine the suitability.
Early trading charges/Secondary market
HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc intends, in normal market conditions, but is under no obligation, to use reasonable efforts to provide a secondary price for the Notes as principal, but reserves the right not to do so in the future in its sole discretion, without providing prior notice to the Noteholders. Sale of Notes prior to maturity may be subject to an early trading charge as follows:
|Time period
|Early trading charge
|Issue date to and including 21 August 2008
|22 August 2008 to and including 21 November 2008
|22 November 2008 to and including 21 February 2009
|22 February 2009 to and including 21 May 2009
|22 May 2009 to and including 21 August 2009
|22 August 2009 to and including 21 November 2009
|22 November 2009 to and including 21 February 2010
|22 February 2010 to and including 21 May 2010
|22 May 2010 to and including the maturity date
Please see the information statement for further details or contact your investment adviser.
Risk factors
Noteholders should carefully review and consider all risks set forth in the information statement with their investment adviser, including:
- Asian equity market exposure
- The volatility or degree to which the level of each underlying index changes
- Notes will not constitute insured deposits under Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada)
- The principal amount is protected only if Notes are held to maturity and there is no assurance the Notes will pay any variable return
- No guaranteed secondary market
- Price or other movements in the instruments comprising the indices are unpredictable
- The historical or pro forma performance of each index is not an indication of future performance
- Special circumstances – HSBC may redeem the Notes prior to maturity under certain limited circumstances, including a change in the law, regulation, taxation regulations or taxation practice or other circumstances not within the control of the Bank
- Conflicts of interest with the calculation agent
Additional information

Broncos split O-line coaching job
The Broncos are expected to divide the duties between two assistants to coach their offensive line.
Bob Wylie, a long-time NFL assistant who has spent the last three years in the Canadian Football League, will be an assistant offensive line coach as will Clancy Barone, who coached the team's tight ends this past season.
The two will join incoming running backs coach Eric Studesville in new positions on the staff. Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has also interviewed both former Patriots assistant Dean Pees and Broncos linebackers coach Don Martindale for the team's defensive coordinator position. Martindale is expected by some in the league to get the nod.
Ben McDaniels, an offensive assistant for the Broncos and Josh McDaniels' younger brother, has been considered for a larger role on the staff as well and is a possibility to replace Barone as tight ends coach.
The Broncos could formally announce their hires as soon as Friday.

Team M&M are an enterprising Kiwi couple who premiered The Pantry Shelf at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The international experience has forged an expansive, freewheeling approach that draws inspiration from the absolutely bonkers theatrical traditions that made Danny Boyle's Olympic Games opening so striking.
The five-member cast play supermarket food products inhabiting a viciously competitive world where the pressure tobe chosen by fickle shoppers engenders jealousy, back-stabbing and rapidly changing alliances.
The food products emerge as well-rounded characters with fiery emotional conflicts and complex moral dilemmas.
Marion Shortt neatly captures the growing self-awareness of a trendy health food snack who comes to realise that her rebellious attitude is just a marketing ploy, while Matt Halliday expresses the pathos of a stodgy porridge who is seduced by the excitement of mixing with the sophisticated party products only to be cruelly spurned by Rita Stone's glamorous brand of chocolate.
The shopping cart routines are a bit repetitive but the dialogue is razor sharp and the lively performances sustain an appealing madcap energy.
The show is presented as a double header with Thomas Sainsbury's Noughty Girls, though each play can be viewed separately.
Sainsbury's devised work offers an up-to-the-minute account of 21st-century romance, with Elizabeth McMenamin and Chelsea McEwan Millar playing a couple of 20-somethings desperately seeking whatever.
Casual liaisons, breakups and the perils of commitment are described in a series of vignettes interspersed with song snippets, cellphone photos and some wonderfully sardonic Facebook postings like, "Friends don't let friends drink and post."
The show rolls to the hectic rhythms of contemporary life, and the naturalistic dialogue has the engaging authenticity of drama that draws on the actors' own experiences.
What:The Pantry Shelf and Noughty Girls
Where: Basement Theatre until Saturday

United visits the Santiago Bernabeu for the first leg of the tie on Wednesday evening, and Alonso admits Los Blancos are "desperate" to improve the mood around the club.
"I love working with him. He has made me improve as a player and I am learning a lot of things from him about how to be a good manager "
The Spanish champion has seen the defense of its Liga title stumble and the 31-year-old says Barcelona's clear lead in the league has heightened the desire to succeed in Europe.
"Mourinho is made for games like this one against United," Alonso told The Times. "The way he prepares the game, the way he analyses the opponents, the way he approaches us in terms of giving us a psychological edge and extra motivation, he loves these occasions.
"Everyone is looking forward to it because we are desperate to be in a better mood, a better spirit, after the tie."
Reports of rifts between Mourinho and players such as Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas have surfaced in recent months, but Alonso says he would like to replicate the Portuguese's managerial style.
"I love working with him," he enthused. "He has made me improve as a player and I am learning a lot of things from him about how to be a good manager, the way I would like to be as a manager.
"He is able to get very close to a player and get the best from him - that is where he makes the difference and why he is so different from some others."
United, Alonso believes, is a comparable force both domestically and in continental competition due to Sir Alex Ferguson's similar ability to instil a mental edge in his team.
"They have that United thing. It is hard to put into words, but it means that they are always competitive against anyone," he explained.
"It is probably a Ferguson thing, because he is them and they are him, the team has taken on his psychology. He is that edge and that transmits from him to his players, something that I saw at first hand during my Liverpool years. So we are expecting a very intense, difficult tie."
Alonso made his name in the Premier League with Liverpool between 2004 and 2009 but revealed that United had also expressed an interest in bringing him to Old Trafford from Real Sociedad.
"I don't know if they made an offer but they were interested," he said. "They did some research on me and they made contact but I don't think they made a real offer, not as far as I know anyway. That is all in the past. It couldn't happen now."

IU tailgate/travel tips?
I hope you'll indulge my first threat topic. Wondering who might be gathering in Bloomington this weekend, and where. (I'm not inquiring re M-watching bars in Indiana -- I know there's a list.) I'm hoping someone will suggest places on campus where MGbloggers gather to eat, drink, tailgate, and gather among the M faithful on or before gameday. And, just as importantly: any places to avoid? Last year, for example, my friends and I were basically chased out of a bar in Iowa City. I'd like to avoid such situations this time. In fact, maybe we should post a permanent threat re places to avoid.

How sweep it is: James scores 30 as Heat beat Bucks 88-77, win 1st-round series in 4
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MILWAUKEE – Miami's Big Three finally have their sweep.
LeBron James scored 30, Ray Allen had another big game against his old team and the Miami Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 88-77 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. It's the first time the Heat have swept a playoff series since James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami three years ago.
And the Heat didn't even need Wade to do it. The guard missed only the second postseason game of his career, and first since 2005, with three bone bruises on his right knee.
But the Heat still won handily, winning their fourth straight game by double digits.
Wade will get plenty of time to rest now, too. The Heat will face the winner of the Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls series — Chicago leads 3-1 — but the next round won't begin until next Saturday.

Jayco's Expansion: Another Sign of RV Upturn
March 9, 2010 by Bob Ashley · Comments Off on Jayco's Expansion: Another Sign of RV Upturn
As one of a number of recreational vehicle manufacturers recovering from the recession of 2008-2009, Jayco Inc. will start building high-end Entegra Class A motorhomes in June in a 30,000-square-foot addition to its factory in Middlebury, Ind.
"The expansion has started," Jayco President and COO Derald Bontrager told RVBusiness. "We have moved dirt. We anticipate that the building will increase our production from 150 a year to right around a thousand."
The city of Middlebury in February approved a 10-year tax abatement on the property and a three-year abatement on manufacturing and IT equipment that will be going into the new facility.
In a related move, Jayco in May will restart limited production of its Starcraft towable RV brand in the same Topeka, Ind., factory that it mothballed last year as the company moved Starcraft production to Middlebury during the recession. Full production of Starcraft units is expected to shift back to Topeka over the next two to three years as some models continue for now to be built in Middlebury.
Initially, Jayco will move 65 people to Topeka to build Starcraft's Autumn Ridge and Travel Star towables.
"At the time (of Starcraft's 2009 move to Middlebury) we said that when market conditions allowed us we would reopen in Topeka," Bontrager said. "We feel the time is now to take advantage of the market that is starting to return. We don't have a timetable yet, but we will be moving all our Starcraft product lines over to Topeka."
Jim Jacobs recently was named general manager of both the Starcraft RV and Entegra Coach divisions.
Bontrager said that both moves are in response to improvement of the RV market as the U.S. emerges from the longest economic recession in more than 50 years.
"During the winter months, part of what's been going on, along with the increased retail activity, is that dealers have been restocking for the upcoming spring selling season," Bontrager said. "Retail shows all over the country have been very well attended and sales have been relatively good — better than last year. People are doing more than looking. They are out buying."
In 2008, Jayco acquired the assets of former Wakarusa, Ind.-based Travel Supreme Corp. and created the Entegra line of Class A diesel pushers in lengths up to 45 feet with MSRPs from $250,000 to $600,000.
The recession that followed stifled Jayco's plans for the Entegra. "We are still pretty much a startup in the luxury diesel market," Bontrager said.
Bontrager said the expansion of the Entegra production line is necessary. "With our current production capacity of 150 a year, our backlogs have grown to an unacceptable level," he said. "We anticipate that there will be a two-year ramp up to get to the production level we want to hit as we build our dealer base and add to our (Entegra) product offering."
Bontrager reported the company has rehired 250 people that had been laid off and that Jayco's total employment is now at about 1,500 workers. "Our production today is double what it was a year ago," he said.
But while economic prospects appear to be improving, Bontrager said that the RV industry still has a way to go before full recovery.
"There are still a lot of segments of our industry and of the economy that have to come back before we are on really solid footing. It's going to be a different type of recovery; it's going to be a slow recovery."

Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of 1 Peter
from Keith Mathison May 09, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt appears that the first epistle of Peter was written by the apostle from Rome sometime around A.D. 62-63, immediately before severe persecution began under Nero. The letter was written to Christians in Asia Minor (1:1) who were already suffering for their Christian faith. There are a number of helpful commentaries on the Book of 1 Peter, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading
Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace (pt. 4)
from John MacArthur May 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesSecond Timothy 1:9 introduces us to the answer. Speaking of God, the verse says that He "saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began." The phrase before the ages began is the English translation of the same Greek phrase rendered with the same words in Titus 1:2. Here, too, it literally means "before time began." In eternity past, before the dawn of history, God made the irrevocable decision to grant salvation to the redeemed. This is the promise of Titus 1:2, and it is a promise that God made according to His own independent purpose and grace. Put simply, it was a promise He made to Himself. Keep Reading

from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesAs my friend Doug Phillips has pointed out, this year has brought, in the providence of God, a strange confluence of anniversaries. The two men who have had the greatest impact on these United States may well be, on the one hand, Charles Darwin, and on the other John Calvin. Darwin was born two hundred years ago this year, Calvin five hundred years ago. Our perspective on each of these men will serve as a potent bell-weather for our perspectives on a whole host of issues. Keep Reading

Divine Immutability and the Doctrines of Grace (pt. 3)
from John MacArthur May 07, 2009 Category: ArticlesThough the doctrine of election applies to all that God does in a general sense, it most often refers, in a specific New Testament sense, to the election of sinners to become redeemed saints within the church. Divine election, in this particular regard, speaks of God's independent and predetermined choice of those whom He would save and place into the corporate body of Christ. God did not save certain sinners because they chose Him, but because He chose them. Keep Reading
Viewing Calvin at the Bottom of a Deep Well
from Keith Mathison May 06, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe nineteenth-century Roman Catholic theologian George Tyrrell once criticized Adolf von Harnack's liberal view of Jesus in these now famous words: "The Christ that Harnack sees, looking back through nineteen centuries of Catholic darkness, is only the reflection of a Liberal Protestant face, seen at the bottom of a deep well." In other words, nineteenth-century liberals projected their own values and ideals onto Jesus and then used this man-made Jesus to support those values and ideals. Keep Reading

Each time he passed through the door of his study he could not avoid seeing the sign, which read: "Perhaps today." It was his way of reminding himself that Jesus could return any day.

I briefly mentioned the Irish Beauty Show last week when I told you about the hottest new trend for lips, Glitzy Lips. While it's primarily aimed at people working in the industry - think beauty therapists, hair stylists, spa and salon owners and nail technicians - the show is also a great opportunity to check out new product launches and innovations in the beauty industry. It's also a great chance to bag a bargain or two!
So today I thought, if you're anywhere near as nosy as I am, you might like a wee look at what I picked up at the show. I could have done major damage to my bank account but it's been an expensive month, what with my birthday, a weekend away and a few other big nights out, so I was pretty restrained.
I couldn't resist the pull of the Crown Brushes stall, where I snapped up 4 brushes for €22*:
- 1836 Soft Fan / Acrylic Handle (€4.99 on the Crown Brush website), for loose powder or highlighter
- BK15 Oval Fluff (€2.83 on the site) for application over the lid
- C200 Deluxe Crease (€3.84 on the website) - for applying and blending in the crease or contour
- BK38 Deluxe Crease (€4.18 according to the Crown UK site) - intended for use as above, but I plan to use this one to set my under eye concealer with powder
*Hmm. My maths might be bad but I've just checked the prices on the Crown UK website and it looks like they saw me coming! Moving on...!
From the OPI stand I picked up a bunch of nail wheels (for swatching polishes), a mini topcoat and a pink glitter polish, Excuse Moi from the recent Muppets Collection. I spent about a tenner here, with the glitter polish coming in at just €4.50 (as opposed to around €10).
We then stumbled across some great skincare bargains from the 'Yes to...' range. My friend Eleanor stocked up on about a year's worth of skincare from the Yes to Carrots, Cucumber and Blueberries lines but I restricted myself to this Yes to Blueberries overnight hydrating cream, which was €3.75 - normally €22.99.
And last, but not least, I bought the home application Glitzy Lips kit! I cannot wait to find an opportunity to wear this, and I'll report back just as soon as I do.
Have you splurged lately? Go on, share it in the comments...
Thank you to Ellen and the team at Waxperts for the tickets!

The lighthouse of Danish urban development
Monday 16 Apr 2007
UNStudio and 3XN design the Light*house in Aarhus
Ben van Berkel from UNStudio (the Netherlands) designed in cooperation with Kim Herforth Nielsen from 3XN (Denmark) the winning proposal for the Aahrus harbour front. The proposal offers an entirely new harbour promenade with evening sun and public access to the unique view of the bay from the top floor of the constructions. The residential facilities of this district vary with cafe environments, restaurants and open squares which enable common free-time activities. The area will be free of cars - all cars will be parked in an underground parking facility. in return, conditions will be optimum for pedestrians and cyclists.A very special characteristic of the area will be the mix of owner-occupied and rental houses.This is the first time a Danish municipality requires such a high portion of non-profit rental houses in this type of urban development project. This facilitates social multiplicity and access to the attractive residences. Also for middle-income groups. The requirement of a mix of owner-occupied and rental houses is well-known in the Netherlands. The rental and owner-occupied houses will have the same architectural expression.

VATICAN CITY — Vatican Radio and the Vatican Television Center are putting snippets from their vast audio and film archives of Pope John Paul II's pontificate online on YouTube and Facebook.
The initiative, launched today, is meant as a run-up to the late pope's beatification May 1.
The new YouTube page is here and features short clips of Pope John Paul, starting with his election in 1979.
Each video will be categorized by year, theme or the language the pope was speaking at the particular event. Three or four new videos will be added each day.
The same videos will also be uploaded to the Vatican's general YouTube channel and then also linked to a new Facebook page dedicated to Pope John Paul's beatification.
Those who like JP2 should be aware that Facebook is awash with unofficial John Paul II (and Pope Benedict) fan pages and spoofs. The page being run by Vatican Radio and the Vatican Television Center is at www.facebook.com/vatican.johnpaul2

The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction, Colo., April 19:
Back in February, President Barack Obama announced significant changes and cuts to this nation's space program.
Recently he changed course. Political gravity, it seems, was a much stronger force than the president realized when he sought to take the space program into a new orbit.
Therein lies a tale about the difficulties of budget cutting or even significantly changing a federal program in the U.S. today.
We don't think space exploration is a waste of money. ... But one can reasonably argue that, in the depths of a recession and severe budget problems, space exploration should not be a top priority.
Not so fast. Politicians objected in a couple of key states including Colorado's governor and two senators, all Democrats. One of the programs that was to be cut under Obama's plan was called the Orion Project, and some 4,000 jobs in Colorado are directly related to that.
The hue and cry from Florida was even greater because of the number of space-related jobs in that state.
So, Obama jetted down to Florida and announced he was restoring much of what he had proposed to cut, including the Orion project, and will continue to push for his goal of a human trip to Mars sometime in his lifetime.
The U.S. space program may not be moving into warp drive, but it apparently won't be left at the dock, either.

Christie seen shifting focus in speech amid scandals
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, facing investigations over a traffic snarl-up and the use of federal money for an ad campaign, will likely try to shift attention back to his second-term agenda when he gives a key speech on Tuesday.
Christie, a charismatic conservative and an early favorite in the upcoming Republican race for the White House in 2016, was re-elected in a landslide victory last November. But a pair of scandals coming in the first weeks of the year have put him on the defensive.
Two sets of emails last week appeared to show that Christie's aides had orchestrated lane closures last September in a stretch of highway leading to the George Washington Bridge, which spans New Jersey and Manhattan, and lied about it.
Christie has denied any knowledge of a scheme to snarl traffic to wreak political payback against the Democratic mayor of the city of Fort Lee, New Jersey, and said there is nothing in the emails to suggest he had any direct knowledge of it.
While Christie is likely to use his State of the State speech to address these challenges, he is also expected to tout his accomplishments and set out priorities for the year.
Those could include an across-the-board tax cut, an idea he proposed in 2012, which has been delayed as revenue has fallen below expectations, as well as ways to generate more job growth.
The state's economy has seen signs of improvement over the last several months. Its unemployment rate experienced its largest monthly drop on record in November, dropping by 0.6 percentage point to 7.8 percent, according to the state labor department.
Revenue has also been recovering steadily. In the first five months of fiscal 2014, which began on July 1, New Jersey took in 7.9 percent more revenue – from income, sales, corporate and other taxes – than for the same period the year before. But that's still 1.2 percent, or $98 million, under budget.
Still, the state's fiscal situation, and Christie's ideas for improving it, could be overshadowed by his response to the scandals and speculation about his political future.
Since taking office four years ago, Christie – a former federal prosecutor – has built a national reputation as a Republican capable of winning bipartisan support for his conservative priorities, like spending cuts, while repairing New Jersey's reputation for corruption and graft.
A prolific fundraiser for Republicans across the country, Christie has taken on a leadership role with the Republican Governor's Association.
But the brewing scandals threaten to tarnish that reputation and Christie's national appeal.
Democrats, who control both houses of the state legislature, have called a special session to address the traffic scandal.
Meanwhile, a New Jersey Democrat has requested a federal probe into the use of storm relief funds for an ad campaign, intended to draw visitors back to the Jersey Shore, that featured Christie as he was seeking re-election.

Gone for Good
Join Date: Apr 2004
Already there's 5 pages of discussion before any English subs are out, meaning the story's that good that people are compelled to look for raws (or subs in other languages, primarily Chinese) to satiate their curiosity, huh? Absolutely.
First, on the adults: Yuri-chan, despite her still unfortunately being single, is a great teacher; Ya-chan, despite her being a very klutzy woman, is a great mother. Enough said. (Maybe Taiga's unseen mother is a good mother as well, but this episode does not go into much detail. )
Now, with the fallout from last episode, the character dynamics are now completely different.
Kitamura, it's safe to say, has been relegated to reliable sidekick (foolish comic relief is Haruta's job). To emphasize this, he's not even in the ED animation.
Ami still hasn't gotten over her brawl with Minorin.
Minorin is trying to work her socks off in order to dull the angst of having to face Ryuji, but it seems she's coming close to making a decision with her "confession" to Ami.
Taiga, upon hearing Ryuji's white lie, decides to go on as though nothing happened.
That leaves the ball solely on Ryuji's court. He can no longer feign ignorance. This being a transitional episode, Ryuji is still figuring out where his true feelings lie, there's still four weeks for us to speculate and figure out.
Since the final novel volume is out, I have something to say concerning the use and viewing of spoiler tags in episode-specific threads.
Here are my recommendations on how to minimize risk of "accidentally" getting spoiled by spoiler tags in these episode threads:
From now on until you've actually read the book and/or until the anime is completed, simply avoid ALL spoiler tags in episode threads just to be safe.

As always, here is my episode summary, impressions, and comments:
Toradora - 22: His and her pain
I found a lot more to note in this episode, so the post is significantly longer. I hope it's as intuitive and cogent as well. I hope you could read and comment!

Nah, it's not even about that. Some of this excessive romantic outlook might have been skewed due to CoalGuy's translation of "Watashi mo irete yo" into "Give me another chance", instead of "Put me in too".
Edit: After thinking about it a little more, she might have really been saying that she wanted to play house too.
Ami, in retrospect, isn't really that complicated. Misleading maybe, but that's about it.
See, I'm viewing this scene over here as being miscommunication between Ami and Minori. The way how Minori is acting desperate here really, really, looks like she's trying to make excuses to Ami as if Ami's the big adult.
And Ami, here, is fed up because she isn't. From a viewer point of view and not as a reader, Ami's irritation is how Minori is thinking too much about her egocentric (substitute with a lighter word since I can't think of anything else at the moment) view of the world and not actually looking around at the reality; which would be that Ami isn't the last best hope for humanity and.....other stuff that would be serious spoilers.
Minori's metaphors really only apply to herself and expecting other people to understand them is kinda....whaaat? How is Ami supposed to understand that? And why does she have to put up with listening to indirect excuses from this girl in her safe zone?
In any case, to see how Minori views and continues to view her Ami, watch episode 15 again.

text: Oh yes, and I introduced a pacifier fairly early (4-6 weeks maybe, I don't really remember anymore). I had really bad OALD and my baby wanted to comfort nurse but would just scream and scream because of the spray. He started comfort nursing more often and has been letting go of he pacifier as of about 15 months. At 17 months now, he still occasionally takes it at nap time, but that's about it.
