Having trouble logging in to your WordPress dashboard?
It happens.
Sometimes an unexplainable glitch occurs or maybe there's an explanation, but hey, you're new to blogging so you can't be expected to know everything.
If you still cannot log in to your WordPress dashboard even after changing the password, or you can't seem to change the password, I found a handy little trick to get you where you want to go. Continue reading…
Millions like me <3 WordPress.org
Why? Because a self-hosted WordPress blog provides you with freedom.
Freedom to design and create your website however you want. Versatility is what you get thanks to a variety of plugins.
All you have to do is install them and occasionally update the individual plugins you choose to use.
This is pretty easy because there is a popular plugin called Jetpack that consolidates all of your separate plugin features into one single plugin that is user-friendly and is installed and maintained as easily as any other plugin. Continue reading…
One of the first things a new blogger who is ready to create content wants to learn is how to add links into their posts.
If you want to add links from your website to other web pages (and you should) this will show you how it's done.

Adding links makes your content more useful to readers. They will appreciate finding helpful links included in your material, saving them time of having to look things up. Plus this connects you with others online and only makes "The Web" more interconnected–which provides a better service to all!

Why would you want to make your WordPress blog private?
Well, here are some of the more common reasons…
1. You only want certain individuals to see it, like your staff or your family.
2. You are treating it like a personal diary so nobody gets access to it (at least for now.)
3. You are still working on the design or architecture of the website and don't want people to find it until you are ready.
Whatever reason you have is your business, not ours. Today, I want to show you how to make your WordPress blog private with ease. Continue reading…

Many people want the creative freedom to build a site that is unique, and you can certainly do that. All you need (aside from getting professional help if you can budget that) is to make some simple tweaks and changes that might not feel right at first…tweaks like removing headers and page titles.

Bob liked to surf the internet at night in the dark. Keeping the lights off provided a stunning view of the Blogopolis cityscape stretched out below his bedroom window on the 56th floor.
All was quiet on this chilly evening.
Bob started searching again for more information on blogging. This was the seventh evening in a row he researched this topic. Already, his mind was so full of information that he couldn't decide what to do next to get started…
"Whoa! What…" Bob jerked his body toward the door. A sudden banging noise coming from the front area of his condominium sounded like trouble. Bob bumped his cell phone off the desk onto the floor.
Dropping down in the dark to find the mobile device, all he could think about was 9-1-1. Continue reading…

Silicon Valley's Journey From Reality To Scripted TVby Ron Callari
Ever since the award-winning film "Social Network" caused a stir about the digerati drawn to the Silicon Valley like moths to a flame, other would-be producers have tried to capture the zeitgeist of this lifestyle in various forms - books, movies and TV.
Restaurant Mon Petit: Dine Like A Feline At Purina's Exclusive & Unusual Eateryby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
It was only a matter of time, considering the internet has made the world's obsession with all things feline rise to new levels. Cat-themed businesses aren't a new trend, and perhaps that's why the latest business might make even the craziest of cat ladies shudder with dismay.
Hot Cup Of Joe: Coffee Establishment Just For Magic Mike Fansby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
It is a growing trend to for businesses that have nothing to do with sex, to use it to give them an edge in their market. They use provocative tricks to grow, which is of course controversial. Women are typically the ones putting themselves on display for the benefit of men in such businesses. The reverse business structure is marginally less common, not because there isn't a market, but because many women prefer to be more discreet when it comes to male ogling. At least, they did until Hollywood decided to make a movie about men shaking what their mommas gave them.
Great Invention Idea? Human Turd Scale!by Elizabeth Valeri
I have a friend who tries to calm my food fears by reassuring me that something that doesn't weigh a pound cannot make me gain a pound. Fine! But what about the bag of chocolate covered nuts (they're filled with protein) I ate this morning? The one I forgot to weigh on my food scale? How much of that have I got sitting inside of me, threatening the needle of my bathroom scale? read more »
EXIT: Scary Business Has Visitors Escape From 'Saw' Inspired Situationsby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
There is a big business in scaring people, and it is a concept that doesn't just find people knocking down its haunted doors for Halloween. Many major tourist areas across North America feature haunted houses and mazes that have people lining up to pee their pants as people jump out of the shadows. While the more traditional scare providers are still successfully operating, there is a new type of terror in town competing in the market, and it creates a unique and scary experience that rivals some popular, nightmare inducing movies.
Beer Vending Machines In Sochi Spread Canadian Generosityby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
You don't have to look to far past television sitcoms, or big-screen comedies to see Canadians presented as generous, polite, and friendly human-beings. As an actual Canadian, won't burst your bubble and imply that these social perspectives aren't universal norms. Instead, I will further promote that ideology by showing you what Canadian is doing to encourage global connections in Sochi - through beer.
Hacker Dad Creates The Perfect Air Hockey Opponentby Tech Light

Who's on First? Competing Santa Trackers: NORAD vs Googleby Ron Callari
Perhaps not as funny as the classic 1938 comedy sketch "Who's on First?" popularized by Abbott and Costello, but it does bring a smile to one's face when anybody is able to give Google a run for their money. Such is the case when the Northern American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) backed by Microsoft and Bing take on the Granddaddy of search engines in a face-off that pits one Santa Tracker against another.

Thursday, April 15, 2010
Press release from the issuing company
Oshkosh, WI - OEC Graphics, a flexographic prepress supplier to converters and consumer packaging companies, introduces a line of sustainability driven products called OEC-ECO Solutions. OEC's "ECOlution" program was created especially to maximize cost savings and improve print quality while increasing operational sustainability for print suppliers. Brad Vette, OEC's Corporate Managing Director, said "As retailers continue to drive sustainability initiatives into the packaging market, it becomes increasingly more important for the flexo industry to provide solutions to these challenges."
The OEC-ECO line includes Twinlock self-adhesive sleeves which eliminate the need for stickyback, the third largest consumable for printers. It also includes Seamex seamless ITR sleeves which reduce stickyback use by over 50 percent and dramatically reduce mounting time. OEC's Plate Cleaners decrease water and chemical solvent use while OEC-DFM increases press efficiency.
OEC-ECO products are award-winning technologies that have been proven to drive profitability to the bottom line. OEC Graphics offers customers a process called Discovery which identifies cost savings, ROI, environmental effect, quality improvement and a plan of implementation. Following a successful soft launch this year, the official website: www.oececosolutions.com is available for more information, including a soon to come ECO calculator which will allow customers to calculate their return on sustainability.

My expedition into Missha Kingdom turned out quite fortunate and the first 'item' I want to show is actually a collection, the Signature 2012 spring-summer limited edition called: What a Lovely Moments.
There are two variations, Lovely Pastel and Lovely Natural. Since natural is a combination everybody owns or owned or will own in their beauty life, I passed it and chose the Lovely Pastel pack. And it turned out to be a good choice...even tho usually I stay away from pastels (not too flattering).
The collection consist of an eyeshadow palette, a lipstick and lipgloss, all from the Signature line. Comes in a sturdy, nicely designed box, and even the products themselves have the LE design, which was made in collaboration with designer Kim JeeHee.
(BTW, if anyone knows Kin JeeHee, plz, enlighten me! >.<)
Anyhow, you can check out the US Missha site and see if you find the collections worthy, or you can buy them individually and still come out at the same price (USD 54,97 is not a bad buy I think).
For the eyeshadow quad you can find an 'eyechart' right under the palette in the box, which surprised me so much that I oohed and aahed....I'm so shallow T__T But I'm used to it being on the bottom of the palettes! So I have an excuse! HAHA~
So, the eyeshadow quad, Lovely Pastel: don't expect strong colorpayoff, cottoncandy pink, green and yellowy white. It's mostly shimmer, but you can make out the colors on your lids. The 'eyeliner' brown is the strongest of the shadows and I actually like to use it.
The lipstick is a beautiful true pink (SPK106), creamy like heaven, simply melts onto your lips, has SPF15 PA+ and comes from the Signature Glam Art line. If you want only this one, you have to pay 15.99.
The lipgloss is also Signature Glam Art, has SPF12 and costs $15.99. The shape of the applicator is quite good. Usually I don't like these slant ones, but I have nothing bad to say about this. The color is more orange than pink, has a decent colorpayoff, so it can be worn alone in its glory or above the pink lipstick. They go well together! ^.^
And here are the handswatches of the eyeshadows, gloss and lipstick.

Kootenay forward Tim Bozon out of hospital a month after meningitis diagnosisNHL.com @NHLdotcom
SASKATOON - Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon was released from the hospital Friday a month after falling ill with meningitis.
Bozon, who was in a medically induced coma for most of his hospital stay, says staff at Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital went to "amazing lengths" to save his life.
Doctors say Bozon is expected to make a full recovery but is likely facing months of rehabilitation.
The 19-year-old Montreal Canadiens prospect is expected to drop the puck at Game 6 of Kootenay's playoff series against the Calgary Hitmen on Saturday in Cranbrook.
Bozon scored 30 goals and had 32 assists and 34 penalty minutes in 50 games this season with the Ice.

IRS Under Fire From Veterans Group
By Ben Kesling
The Internal Revenue Service is facing fresh criticism from Congress after one of the country's biggest veterans' organizations alleged the IRS has recently been unreasonably tough in its reviews of the tax-exempt status of individual American Legion posts.
The House Committee on Veterans Affairs on Wednesday requested the IRS respond to complaints its inspectors are asking posts to provide official discharge papers or service records during reviews of their tax-exempt status, a policy the committee says is "unduly burdensome and completely unwarranted."
Noncompliance brings with it a $1,000 a day fine. The American Legion said Post 447 in Round Rock, Texas, was fined $12,000 for lack of compliance before rounding up the necessary official documents to satisfy inspectors. The IRS said it cannot comment on individual taxpayers or organizations.

- Lightly coat one side of tortilla with cooking spray. Divide half of the cheese evenly on one side of tortilla that hasnt been sprayed. Top with chicken, avocado, and jalapeno. Add a little salsa and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Fold plain tortilla side over filling.
- Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook quesadilla about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until cheese melts and tortilla is lightly browned. Cut into 6 wedges. Serve warm with remaining salsa. Makes 6 appetizer servings.
From the Test Kitchen
Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

The Bigger Picture
I was sitting in the hospital waiting room yesterday morning - waiting for Dan's surgery to start, waiting for my father in law to get there to keep me company, and waiting for my brother to call and let me know if I'm getting a new niece or nephew in September. I was also stewing about the whole idea of not going to Mexico in two weeks. Overall, I was kind of an anxious mess. Then a surgeon came out to chat with the family next to me and I could tell they weren't getting great news. A few minutes later one of the women with the family walked over next to me to take a phone call and told the person on the other end of the line that whoever it was in surgery that morning had officially been diagnosed with lymphoma.
When I heard that other family talking, I instantly felt guilty and much better all at once. Dan was in surgery to get his tonsils out and have his insanely long uvula shortened. The procedure was barely an hour and a half and he was done, and while he'll have a rough couple of weeks with a very sore throat, he is healthy and well. Don't get me wrong - there's a piece of me that's good and livid about Mexico not happening, but there's a much bigger piece of me that is grateful that a change in vacation plans is the biggest of our worries right now.

Perspective is everything! Your post made me too realize that I need to stop sweating the little things and be grateful that my dog missing his pee- pad is my biggest worry.ReplyDelete
I hope Dan has a swift recovery! When I got my tonsils a little over 3 years ago it was horrible. I couldn't eat normal food for almost a full 3 months! My biggest tip would be to stay away from anything with salt.

OnLive has announced that its video game streaming service will be available for mobile devices as well as television sets and computers.
OnLive is considered to be a strong competitor to the console market, delivering a gaming-on-demand service via a remote server. According to CEO Steve Perlman, the community and social aspects of the platform will be available on mobile phones.
"Today, at a Wedbush financial conference in New York I showed OnLive running simultaneously on two iPhones, a TV and a computer," he said.
"It's important to understand that a cell phone is a very different beast than TV, PC or Mac... currently, games on OnLive are tuned for TVs and computers, so initially, it's the community and social elements of OnLive that we're most excited about on mobile devices."
The service has been met with some scepticism since it was announced. Critics have expressed doubts over the firm's ability to deliver it in real-world conditions, in terms of the hardware required in OnLive server centres to render and compress the video, and its impact on commercial broadband during delivery.
The service was originally slated for launch in the US before the end of the year, but an official release date is still to be announced.

December's Newsletter 2014 ~ Christmas Market Preperations, Stall Photos and New Creations
December's Newsletter
Welcome to December's ramblings! It's amazing to think that this is my last newsletter of 2014. What a year for Supremily Jewellery!
I'll personally be looking back through each monthly issue of this years newsletter to reflect on what has been an incredible year for me! Festivals, countryside life and engagement to name but a few!
I feel I'm really flourishing with happiness and constantly growing and evolving not only in my work, but as a little being too!
You can re-visit previous issues on my blog (link below)...and there is also a link button on the website
Thank you for being a part of this magical journey!
p.s, No more capitals either from now on! It seems I have been SHOUTING at you all for months!!! Sorry about that!
Previous issues
I'm planning next year to maybe drop my weekly Saturday stall at Tynemouth Market down to just one each month.
This will allow me to concentrate on getting more work put online, something which is really time consuming!
Editing photos (up to five in total for each item) and then listing each one individually takes a lot of time...my laptop is quite slow and the camera not brilliant so this slows things down even more. As you all well know, almost everything I make is a completely unique piece of work and one of a kind, so I can't list multiples of the same item because they simply dont exist!
Having some of my Saturday's back would be a dream!! Not to mention the friday nights! I could see my beloved friends more without having to go to bed earlier than everyone else on a friday eve and could spend the odd saturday having lunch with the girls ~ are you reading this ladies!!!!
Preparations are well underway for the Christmas Markets. I've been working on new stock day and night and cant wait to set up shop! I have no idea what the stalls are like as they're provided by the organisers, but they have electricity and lighting and are big! I have some 'Supremily Elves' who will be on hand at times to help me serve my lovely customers, make cups of tea and generally be AMAZING!
Lets see what weather our beloved mother nature decides to bring in January and February......it may be that we get snowed in and I can't make it to any of the markets!
(I'd actually love this! Just think of all the photos I could edit, sat by a nice warm fire. Mmmmmm!)
It seems all of my ideas arise when they are ready and meant to!
This idea to make mini brooches came to me what seems so late on in the journey so far but I managed to source some tiny mini brooch backs (which I didn't even know existed!) and hey presto! Mini brooches have been brought into existence and are packed full of possitive energy and a sprinkling of magic too!
Also now in existence, hairslides! A few of these are now available to purchase online and can be selected either with or without a giftbox.
Following on from last months project...heres the finished drawers I was painting (when I had a bad back and shouldnt have been doing ANYTHING!!).
I havn't as yet distressed them with dark wax.....I've been a little too busy! They are serving their purpose well as a new wrapping station for all the online orders, storage for all online stock and a place to keep all my gift boxes!
(Appologies for the dark spot on the pictures, I have a scratch on the lense!)
Into the new year I'm planning a complete workspace 'cleanse'.
This will involve sorting all the clutter that accumulates at busy times and organising the studio once and for all!
I'm already getting there with having a seperate wrapping station....it's been really helpful so far!
Organisation is key to running a business smoothly ~ I'm an artist, so not exactly neat and tidy...but running a jewellery business involves a certain level of organisation and storage as there are so many tiny components! Over the years I've found it hard to keep an organised workspace as there's always so much to do!
I'm looking into getting an extended surface area for my photo lamps and 'glue station' and a corner desk to be used as a 'photo editing, drinking tea and sorting accounts station'!!
On doing some very important reserach, I've discovered that the whole time I've been glueing stud earrings indoors with the new industrial strength glue....I should have been wearing this!!!!
In the summer months I did most of the glueing outside. Indoors, even with the windows open, I need to be wearing this full face mask. Unfortunatley they seem to cost about £80-100 but it's better than dealing with the toxic vapours....not good for the eyes and throat!
Expect to see some funny photos in the not too distant furture (although the one above does make me smile somewhat!)
We've had lots of our lovely friends to stay over the last month. I received this beautiful painting from my AMAZING and super talented friend Susan ~ what a lovely gift! It looks perfect in our cosy sitting room.
You can view Susan's Etsy shop by clicking the link below, and her beautiful mandala cards are also available to buy on my stall!

The stall is looking the best it ever has, and will only continue to evolve! Its really strange looking back at old photos of the stall ~ I'm not going to post any here as that's in the PAST!

If you are not into speeding with repetitive hard braking, forget about the disadvantages of drum brakes, like overheating, squealing from too much dust, prone to fading and difficult to service. They look extremely cool, and the retro custom trend has created a new market for them, fully redesigned, and much more efficient. A new great example of parts from the past reborn refined, adding nostalgia to your sled, is this set of front and rear drum brakes by Italian Kustom Tech.
The Front Mini Drum Brake is built from cast iron material, offering a great coefficient of friction despite its small size. In the central part of the drum, fins improve cooling. The inner of the drum is CNC machined for precision matching to the shoes. The two side covers are made from aluminum, under the left one being where the shoes are located (51/8″ diameter) Comes with 3/4″ wheel bearings'
The Hydraulic Rear Rim Brake With Brass Fins is inspired by those used by the 50's Rodders. Central part is built from cast iron, a material offering a high degree of friction, it comes with a crown of 51 teeth inside the front plate.
Machined from solid aluminum, the brake shoes are anchored (H-D type from 1958 to '62) and are activated by hydraulic cylinders. Brass fins are screwed around the drum, and provide great cooling. The drum is provided with a perforated aluminum anchor rod which is to be anchored to the frame through an included special support,
This drum brake is sold all chromed including fins, or entirely plated with polished brass fins. Worldwide shipping. At Kustom Tech.

Living in Australia has introduced me to many strange and wonderful dishes, including Pea and Ham soup. Since a couple of my family members are vegetarian, leaving out the ham would mean leaving out the flavour, so it was a relief to find this recipe which relies on spices to provide a healthier and still-flavourful alternative. From The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook by Murdoch Books, this recipe has been adapted from the 'Green Pea Soup'.
* 1 ½ cup green split peas
* 2 tablespoons oil
* 1 medium onion, peeled and halved
* 1 medium carrot, cut into chunks to fit into pot
* 1 celery stalk, cut same as the carrot
* 1 tablespoon cumin powder
* 1 tablespoon coriander powder
* 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
* 5 cups vegetable stock
* 2 cups frozen green peas
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or half that dried.
* 4 tablespoons plain yoghurt or sour cream (optional - as in I didn't use this)
|Green Split Peas
What to do:
Soak green peas for a couple of hours. Drain. Leave aside.
Heat oil in a pot (to make the soup), add onion, celery and carrot. I cooked this covered (with a couple of occasional stirs) until the onion softened and started separating layers. Stir in cumin, coriander and ginger. Cook until spices are fragrant.
Add split peas and stock (and dried mint, if using). Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until peas are cooked and carrot chunks can be pierced with a knife tip. The books says this should take 1 ½ hours but the soup is usually done in less than an hour. Take off fire.
Then add frozen peas. Wait until the peas 'defrost' in the heat of the soup, then slender-blend. Season with salt and pepper and stir in mint. Serve with swirl of yoghurt or sour cream (or not).

Need a quick stress buster? Try chewing (sugarless) gum, suggests a small Japanese study in the Journal of Prosthodontic Research.
Participants worked on math problems for 30 minutes to increase their stress levels, after which they either chewed gum for varying amounts of time (treatment group) or just rested (control group). Saliva samples were taken both before the math task and at multiple intervals after to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The result? Chewing gum for 10 to 15 minutes was associated with a significant drop in cortisol levels.
A study from Wrigley a couple of years ago in the journal Appetite similarly linked gum chewing to stress reduction. The current study, however, had no ties to gum manufacturers.

Old pitchers and platters have
Blue Willow perhaps..............or the charm of country roses?

I have a small collection of vintage china.
I found a large platter that was from the same series as a large teapot one day. Maroon and cream, densely floral.
I was so rapt!
And I dropped it, opening my front door! Broke right down the middle. *cry*. I glued it, and now they are on display together, but it SO annoys me that it was me that put that big crack there! It was otherwise perfect!

I just love old pitchers! And platters????? I can remember my Mom using a HUGE blue and white platter to display the Thanksgiving turkey. I was so happy when I found one just like it in an antique shop. I couldn't pass it up.
Wanted to tell you that I found an old book from 1898 put out by Brainerd and Armstrong. It is full of old embroidery patterns. If you think you'd like it, send me your address, and I'll send it along to you.

I needed to make two sympathy cards today...never fun to do! I wanted to keep them CAS and I wanted a monochromatic look. So, I grabbed my two new colors of SSS papers, Green Apple & Sea Glass. I clear embossed the background using a Hero Arts cling stamp (CG315). I then used a rubber stamp (which is mounted crooked on the base...this is why I like clear stamps) and added it to the front of the cards...one embossed on vellum and the other on the blue cardstock. I added some butterflies punched from a MS punch.
I love the background stamp and how the clear embossing really brought the color out!
I think they turned out very nice and appropriate for a sympathy card! What do you think?
Thanks for visiting!
** edited to add that I am entering the blue card in the SimonSaysStamp Monday challenge...use blue!)****

Miles -504
Route – does anyone REALLY care?
Bud is so done that he splurged for a hotel room. THAT's how done he is!
A flat screen tv, carpet not gravel, an eight inch mattress instead of two inch foam, air conditioning, no mosquitos, no bugs, no trains or highways in our back yard, no need to crank up the roof, white cotton sheets, lamps without six foot extension cords, a bathroom within ten feet.
And yes, he has the remote and Rachel Maddow is on.
Tomorrow we'll make the final trek to Owego. He misses mom, his grandkids, his dog. So cute, right?
For me, it's a couple weeks until track season is over. Maybe ride bike for a while? Hit Arcadia or 1ooo Islands? Or take my house on wheels to a local campground? Maybe start to run again? Get a job? Selling furniture? Real estate? Get a dog?
My cousin is moving to St. John (as in the Caribbean) in October. Hmmmm.
So many options, so little time.
If you could do anything you wanted to, what would it be????? What's on your bucket list?

I am back to fulltime blogging almost. I know that I am saying the same thing for many days but fortunately, I am almost back to the level before I became sick and suffered a series of misfortunes. So, I am almost getting back my health.
Now, as I have started working seriously, I have noticed that I lose my way most of the days. That is why, I have realized that I need to find answer to some questions so that I can overcome my problems and focus on my writing.
It is better I try to write down the questions of which I need to find some good answers.
1. How to find out the most important problems?
2. How to focus on my work every day?
3. How to overcome the distractions and just work continuously for an hour?
4. How to ensure that I can sleep at the right time and do not suffer from sleeping problem?
5. What are the things should I do to become successful in blogging?
There are many questions that I need to find answers. Many of us have similar problems and they try to find the answers.
Earlier today, I was thinking of writing about these problems and their solutions in this blog. At first, I thought that I should not write about these things as they often become similar like spam content. After all, there are many websites and blogs about personal development. Then, I felt that it was not a bad idea to write about these problems because I am a person who is dealing with these things every day. So, at least, I can share my experience and my struggles, my successes and failures.
I am not exactly trying to earn anything by writing about these questions and trying to find their answers as they will be mostly written from my personal experience. Even, I cannot claim that I know perfect answers for even one of these questions. I also don't know if I can really follow my own advice. What I just know is that I will be able to discuss about these questions from real life problems and experience.
Steve Pavlina is perhaps my most favorite person in this regard. I like his website and blog simply because he suffered real problems and then tried to overcome them. So, he wrote most of the content in his website from his own personal experience. Well, to be honest, I do not agree with many of the things he said in his website and blog and I hardly follow any of the strategies he wrote there. I never purchased anything from his website or I am not even encouraging anyone to do so either. I just like his website because it helps me to think about my own life.
So, from 1 March 2011, I am going to think about a particular problem for a day or for two three days continuously. I will try to find solution to the problems and then will try to write about the whole matter.

Hey y'all! It's time again for Friday Faves. Here's a collection of all the things that I've been loving this week. I'm linking up with Samantha over at Momma Junebug, so head on over to check out her Friday Favorites after you're done here!
Vegan Gluten Free Cupcakes – Don't these look incredible? I'm a huge fan of anything chocolate and remotely healthy.
When Change is Hard – Love this post about remembering God's promises when things feel tough. Our family has been through a lot of changes over the past few years, and it's easy to get lost in the mess and lose sight of God. Such a great reminder!
Water Bottle with Tracker – I'm horrible at remembering to drink enough water every day, and with Lyme disease, detoxing is super important to avoid unnecessary pains and Herx reactions. So since I got my new bottle with a water tracker on the back, I've been reminded a lot more to drink enough!
Weekly/Monthly Planner – I am in LOVE with this planner. I'm using it to plan school activities, field trips, family outings, and blog posts. Having something pretty to write in is making it easier for me to plan ahead more and get things more organized. I can use all the motivation I can get!
And a few laughs for good measure.
Have you read anything that you absolutely must share this week? Happy weekend, y'all!!

When Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30th 1933, it was at the head of a coalition government. It was very clear in his mind that it would not remain this way for long. By the end of March 1933, he had acquired much greater powers than the former leading politicians of the Weimar Republic could ever have foreseen when they supported his appointment as chancellor. The death of President Hindenburg in August 1934, allowed him to combine both chancellor's and president's positions into one when Hitler became the Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor.
How did Germany descend so quickly into becoming a dictatorship?
When Hitler was appointed in January 1933, Germany was a democracy. Germany had fair elections; nobody had their right to vote abused; there were numerous political parties you could vote for etc. To pass a law, the Reichstag had to agree to it after a bill went through the normal processes of discussion, arguments etc. Within the Reichstag of January 1933, over 50% of those who held seats were against the Nazi Party. Therefore it would have been very unlikely for Hitler to have got passed into law what he wanted. Many saw Hitler as a fall-guy politician who would have to shoulder to blame if things got worse under his leadership.
Hitler had promised a general election for March 1933. This would have been, in his mind, the perfect opportunity for him to show all politicians who opposed him where the true loyalties lay in the German people. In fact, 1932 had shown Hitler that there was a possibility that support for the Nazis had peaked as their showing in the November 1932 election had shown. Anything other than a huge endorsement of Hitler and the Nazi Party would have been a disaster and...

Steve Carell is tendering his resignation as the egotistical boss Michael Scott of "The Office", and leaving the hit TV comedy show next year.
Carell told Us Magazine that he would be leaving paper company Dunder Mifflin at the end of the upcoming TV season, in May 2011.
"Yes, it will be my last," Carell, 47, told UsMagazine.com while promoting his movie "Despicable Me". "It's the last (season) on my contract, and I want to honor my contract."
Carell, who won a Golden Globe award for his role, said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and two young children.
Carell began playing Michael Scott in 2005 when the U.S. version of the hit British mockumentary created by Ricky Gervais was launched on NBC.
NBC had no comment on Carell's remarks.
Carell's departure may not mean the end of "The Office" however. NBC executives told reporters in May that the network regarded the show as an ensemble piece and that producers were prepared for a possible departure by Carell.
The actor told Us Magazine he would be sad to leave the comedy series. "These are some of my best friends in the world! But it will be good -- it will be good for everybody," he said.
"The Office" has been one of NBC's biggest critical hits, winning an Emmy for best comedy series, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for its ensemble cast. The series has also been sold widely overseas.

I learned a lesson. That lesson was not, as I expected: how to break down a chicken into parts, but instead: perhaps I'd rather not learn how to break down a chicken into parts.
This year I am not, as of yet, sick. My man has been sick the past few days. One of our best friends has been sick the past few days. I suppose you could say my two men are sick. Meaning I'm likely to get sick shortly too. So, I thought: "I've never made a chicken noodle soup from scratch before" and "Perhaps this is a good time to practice breaking down a whole chicken" and "whole chickens are cheaper by weight than pieces, and it will give us an assortment of white and dark meat." I like to learn basic fundamentals. I like to fancy myself a future chef. But chopping up that chicken made me a bit shaky, more than a little squeamish, and quite sad. Oh, and I burnt the onions while I was wrestling with it. So much for my cheffy dreams. Not to say I'll never do it again, but it certainly made me think about where my comfort line is.
As I so often do, I started with a recipe from Deb Perelman at Smitten Kitchen. I like her ideas of browning the chicken and onions first to add more depth of flavour. Many of the other recipes I looked at just put everything in the pot and brought to a boil. Her stock looks more rich and comforting. Some recipes do call for roasting first, which could also be nice, but more time/dirty dish intensive, and I wanted to try to Deb's way this time.
Because my onions blackened instead of browned because I took too long with the chicken, and because it was more difficult browning the chicken in my pile of blackened onions, I would perhaps start with the chicken parts next time. Brown those in oil (5-10 minutes), then remove, brown the onions (5-10 minutes), add the chicken back in, and then the water, bay leaf, salt and pepper. I also added a bit more water because I'd like some extra stock. I'm thinking about chicken pot pie lately too. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and skim off foam. Then I decided I should also throw in a bit of inner celery stalks and leaves and my carrot peelings, so the extra stock itself would be more flavourful for other uses.
I let this simmer for about an hour then took the chicken out to cool (I meant to do this after 30 minutes but time got away from me). After removing the meat from the bones I decided to add the bones back into the simmering pot and let it reduce further. Having read a lot about the benefits of bone broths, I'd love to have the extra immune boost. In the future if I wanted to do an hours long simmer, I would omit the salt at the beginning
Its 8 hour later, the stock has been simmering away all day. I've added more water periodically, along with a splash of cider vinegar to help draw the minerals out of the bones.
To finish the soup I brought another smaller pot of water to a boil, and used this to cooked chopped celery, carrots and parsnips for ~10 minutes, 2 of each. I removed the vegetables and cooked some egg noodles in the same pot (about 2 handfuls). To serve, I mixed this water about equally with strained stock, added enough vegetables and chicken for one portion, then ladled it over one portion of noodles.
Keeping things separate like this means my noodles won't become waterlogged overnight, and I can control the portioning properly, ensuring everyone gets equal amounts of deliciousness.
I just finished eating (while laughing along to the latest episode of Parks and Recreation) and now I feel soothed, comforted, fulfilled and happy. After eating this soup today, along with one green juice (kale, apple, parsley, cucumber, celery, ginger, lemon), one beet/carrot/cabbage/ginger juice, and a snack of kimchi, I feel like my energy is through the roof. I am seriously reconsidering my earlier feelings about never buying a whole chicken again. In fact, having refreshed my memory on the benefits of bone broths this afternoon while it was cooking, I'd like to make this at least once a month. If nothing else it means I get the back which is great for adding body and gelatin to the stock. I can't wait to give some to my sickies tomorrow, when it should taste even better. Bring on the immune boost!

Arizona Football Weekly Press Conference
Sept. 24, 2001
Arizona Head Coach John Mackovic Quotes
On the Washington State-Arizona series:'It has been an interesting series for the last several years. The games have been high scoring with lots of action. Is it going to turn into a defensive struggle by any chance? I don' t think that this will be a defensive struggle. They are going to try to score 35 points or more. They are going to run, pass and do everything that they can do to win the game. Knowing that they are going to play that way, we are going to play that way. I'm not certain that we can dominate the line of scrimmage, and I'm not certain that they can dominate the line of scrimmage to the point where either team can control the game and take it into a low-scoring defensive game.'
'Washington State is a team that will try to take control of the game and try to make you play their game. They have so many receivers, and they are running the ball well. Jason Gesser is a veteran who knows the system. He knows where to put the ball, he knows the checks, and he knows what to do. They really have a nice attack.'
On Arizona's 3-0 record:'We are pleased that we have won three games. We have done a lot of good things, but we really haven't dominated anybody for an entire game. Because of that, we can't look as if we are complete. There is still a lot of work to do. We have a lot of bright spots, but there are still areas in every area that we need to improve upon.'
On Arizona's defense:'UNLV had some run plays in the second half that we should have shut off, and they had a couple of pass plays that we can't give them. But, we set out to take Jason Thomas out of the game, and we did that. From a strategy and execution standpoint, we have done well so far this season. This week's game is going to be a big task for us because we play a lot of man coverage, and we will still have to be able to get a lot of pressure on the quarterback. They are posting remarkable numbers, so the biggest thing for us is to contain and not allow them (Washington State) to get the big plays.'
On the Wildcat offense:'Offensively, we are up near the 500-yard range, and yet there are still things in there that we need to do better. We still have to run the ball better. Against UNLV, we dropped four passes, two of which were in the end zone. We didn't get our timing just right, and that resulted in a fumble.'
On UA's special teams:'We were not very sharp on special teams Saturday night. Ramey Peru had a heck of a night. On four of his five punts, his hang time was over four seconds, and he averaged for over 41 yards per punt. Their punt returner was a really good returner, but he only had 11 yards on four returns for the game. Our punt return unit did a great job, and Clay Hardt made three tackles on punt coverage, which is really good.'

Is there cake on the menu, mate, cake?!
I'm sure I saw slices suggesting
I'm sure I saw slices suggesting
a cook has been busy with baking
and sweetness is what I crave most.
Look in my eyeballs, mate, balls
to your oranges, apples, bananas;
forget 5-a-day, throw a bolas
at brothers parading with cake and
drag all their cake to the cake stand,
sprinkling sugar deep snow.
I've gobbled up meat and potatoes
and now I want saccharine – speed.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER WRITTEN A PAEAN TO A LANDFILL BEFORE. LIKE everyone, my notion of a landfill was dominated by images of scurrying rat hordes, flocks of screeching sea gulls, blizzards of windblown litter and a sickly sweet stink, as of dead bodies.
Yet, fellow refuse generators, today I want to honor a landfill without whose grace life here would be an ungodly mess.
Like most of us, the Puente Hills landfill is taking Sunday off, letting its great stomach settle and its voluminous, gassy breathing ease a bit. Tomorrow it will return to the desperate work it does on our behalf.
When New York City's Fresh Kills dump closed earlier this year, Puente Hills became the largest landfill in the United States. Every day from Monday through Saturday, a long rosary of garbage trucks assembles at its gates just outside the City of Industry by 6 a.m. By early afternoon, sometimes sooner, the landfill has consumed its legal daily limit of 13,200 tons of garbage from about 1,600 trucks. (Last year Puente Hills single-handedly absorbed almost 3.7 million tons, 35% of what Los Angeles County residents put out.)

Americans turned out at the polls in record numbers today.
According to MSNBC:
Americans were voting in numbers unprecedented since women were given the franchise in 1920. Secretaries of state predicted turnouts approaching 90 percent in Virginia and Colorado and 80 percent or more in big states like Ohio, California, Texas, Missouri and Maryland.
Though the exact numbers won't be determined until all the votes are counted in the next few days and weeks, a history-making high percentage of Americans voted, according to CNN and the Wall Street Journal:
More than 30 million voters had already cast ballots before Tuesday in early voting. Nearly 100 million more were expected on election day. Hundreds of thousands of voters waited from long before daybreak or for hours on end to make their choices known.
Michael McDonald, a politics professor at Virginia's George Mason University, predicted nearly 65% of the electorate would have voted by the time all polls closed -- matching or eclipsing the turnout in the presidential election of 1960 featuring candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Not since 1908, when the U.S. was convulsing through a shift from the machine party politics of the 19th century to the free-for-all of modern campaigns, has so large a proportion of Americans participated in a presidential election.

"I won't review the actual songs on this disc - who cares? When I read reviews, it's only to find out about some technical aspect or other of the product. If I want someone's opinion of the musical content, I'll throw a seance and consult the ghost of Lester Bangs, not some schmuck who maybe wrote for their high school paper. That's a big problem I had when I was looking for reviews for this item, specifically the dvd audio version - Amazon just lumps in all the regular release reviews, and these dvd audio or SACD mixes are something else altogether. So let me tell you what you can expect. First, this mix was done by Elliot Scheiner. I'm starting to like this guy more and more, and Elliot, if your old lady ever throws you out of the house, you can come kick it on my couch anytime. For a couple nights only. Then you're on your own. This guy did all the subsequent dvd audio mixes for R.E.M., every studio release from Green to Around the Sun. He also turned up for the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi mix, my favorite of the three they did. Yoshimi was wacky, cuz the Lips are wacky. The R.E.M. mixes are more restrained, and he mostly takes advantage of the 5.1 surround capacity by just letting the mixes breathe more - he spreads out the tracks more fully, so the sound is just way more dynamic, rather than use the medium to have a tambourine sound flying around the room, or shove a lead vocal into a rear speaker for the sake of being cute. Of course every once in awhile something like that'll happen, but I think he does it tastefully and in context. Sometimes in the course of reading reviews for these surround mixes, a reviewer will comment on how the clarity and seperation is so much more magnified, they swear they hear things they never heard in the original stereo mix. What they don't know is that sometimes, they never heard these things because those sounds never appeared in the original mix. Remember, these people who do the remixes, like Mr. Scheiner, have access and often carte blanche to the original tapes, and often during a recording/mixing session, the artists will lay down any ol' crazy stuff just to see if it flies, then decide whether to throw it onto the final mix or bury it low, or just discard it altogether. The people doing these remixes can decide to bring up these tracks or different takes or extra or alternate vocal takes, and there are at least a couple here on this disc that come to mind, notably extra guitar lines from Mr. Buck on Disturbance and The One I Love. That's cool with me. I don't know about these whiny buffoons who want to preserve the sanctity of the original work. If you paint a walrus mustache on the original Mona Lisa, maybe you've got a case for outrage - maybe, I say - because that's an original, and there was only really ever meant to be the one. But when these people go to make a record, it's with record company bucks, and the record company often plans on printing up at least a couple of copies to try to sell to people. If someone later down the road wants to present an alternate take on the work, it's not as if the government dispatches a military attachment to come to your house to retrieve the other version. By all means, keep listening to the version that best fits you and your outlook on life. As for me, I'm glad I have both versions, cuz I'm a man who likes options. One more thing: this edition is out of print, because the format never really took off as hoped for. So if you want it, chances are you'll have to shell out the bucks. I'll only advise you that it's worth it if you love the original Document and you have a terrific DTS surround setup, if not a player with actual dvd audio high resolution circuitry (preferred), and enjoy sitting down and really listening to music, free from distractions. And also if your kids won't have to skip some meals to accomodate the purchase, which potentially would be frowned upon by those close to you. I truly believe this format was just a little ahead of its time, and that now with home theater systems becoming more and more commonplace, and music fans becoming more aware that mp3 is great for convenience but lousy for any worthwhile home sound system, that proper marketing and especially good word-of-mouth can earn the format at least a respectable share of the market. So spread the word. And thanks for this one, Mr. Scheiner!"
Best Album - Ever?

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Not only is this the best REM CD, it just may be my favorite album of all time. The blend of great music, 80's materialism commentary, production and good old REM weirdness hit every rock and alternative bone in my body. After hearing certain albums 50+ times, I've burned out on some fantastic classic rock but this CD offers something new every time I play it. What the heck is Oddfellows about? Who cares, it's cool! Enjoy."

A separate room has the fridge, food and preparation pantries plus loads of extra storage space. The dining area has a timber and leather table and chairs with its own stereo system.

Both upstairs areas have their own balconies one with a large 8 seat setting and bbq. The other with a small table and chairs to enjoy the beautiful views back over Jan Juc.
The house has been built using reclaimed timbers. All the floors are a stunning polished jarrah, the windows are made from ironbark, even californian redwood has been remachined from barrels to create the ceiling lining. The exposed structural timbers used internally and externally are all blackbutt and the centerpiece stairwell is constructed from sydney blue gum. The complete exterior clad in timber strips has been left to fade to a silver grey and to entwine itself with the landscape.

Things to do
The beachhouse is a perfect spot for a vacation whether it be long or short. You are situated on the "golden mile" of Victorian surfing starting at some of the best reef breaks around to the mecca of surfing that is Bells Beach. All these spots can be reached by either foot, bike or car. If shopping is your thing the Torquay surf shops are just a short drive or you can catch the bus or just walk. The golf course is a 5 minute walk as are the tennis courts, play areas and recreation reserves. The Jan Juc cliffs are renown for their magnificent formations and walking/riding tracks have been built right on the clifftops enabling spectacular views along the miles of trails. The beautiful Jan Juc beach is only minutes away and is fully patrolled during the summer months. For the fishermen there is good fishing straight off the beaches or at Spring Creek. The shops are 100 metres away and have great eating at either Swells cafe, Bird Rock Bar or the pub. Takeaway is available from the fish and chip shop and there is a chemist and a milk bar, pretty much everything that you need. If you wish, Torquay is only 5 minutes away and has a large shopping centre and an abundance of eateries.
Great Ocean Road and Bellarine Peninsula
Jan juc is central to take great day trips either in an east or west direction. West takes you along the Great Ocean Road, one of the most spectacular drives in the world. You will pass through picturesque beach towns such as Anglesea and Lorne and through the smaller ones such as Wye River and Aireys Inlet. A 2 hour drive will bring you out at Apollo Bay the start of the wonderous Otway Ranges with its rugged coastline and a further hour or so and you can reach the Twelve Apostles. Along the way eateries. wineries and many other attractions, such as the Otway Fly, will ensure your day out is a memorable one.
East takes you along the Bellarine Peninsula through Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and onto Pt Lonsdale and Queenscliff. From Queenscliff you can catch the ferry to Sorrento or enjoy wandering amongst the ornate buildings of a bygone era. Pt Londsdale has great diving, and Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove are filled with small cafes and boutique shopping.

Michigan Wolverines sophomore running back Derrick Green will miss the remainder of the season after breaking his collarbone in Saturday's loss to Rutgers, head coach Brady Hoke announced Monday.
Michigan sophomore running back Derrick Green will miss the remainder of the season after breaking his collarbone late in Saturday's loss to Rutgers, head coach Brady Hoke announced Monday.
Green had started each of the Wolverines' six games this season. He ranks fifth in the Big Ten with 471 rushing yards and has scored three touchdowns. The Wolverines are No. 55 in the country in rushing yards per game and No. 101 in points per game.
Green had 12 carries for 74 yards against Rutgers before his injury. He also appeared in all 13 games for the Wolverines last season and was the team's third-leading rusher behind Fitzgerald Toussaint and quarterback Devin Gardner.
• Florida QB Treon Harris under investigation for sexual battery
Green was ranked the No. 1 running back recruit in the nation by Rivals in 2013. He chose Michigan over Tennessee and Auburn.
With Green injured, sophomore De'Veon Smith and redshirt junior Justice Hayes will see increased playing time at running back. Smith has 282 yards on 47 attempts this season, while Hayes has 19 carries for 101 yards.
Hoke also said Monday that Devin Gardner will continue to be the team's starting quarterback. Gardner has started five of Michigan's six games.
Hoke and Michigan have been criticized for not pulling quarterback Shane Morris from the game against Minnesota after he sustained an apparent concussion.
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon also drew criticism for his response to the incident, spurring a student rally calling for his firing.
Morris has since returned to practice and is likely available to play this week.
• Illinois QB Wes Lunt out 4-6 weeks after leg fracture
Michigan is 2-4 this season and in last place in the Big Ten East with an 0-2 conference record. The Wolverines play Penn State at home on Saturday, followed by a bye week and then a game at Michigan State.

Of course yesterday's New England Journal of Medicine report on senior sexuality prompted not only a respectful and informative media blast, but also the kind of stereotypical response we've come to expect, such as "Senior Sex Study Shows Nana and Papa Still Getting It On"
by Ted Gay. An excerpt from Gay's satirical site:
Jane Stacy, a ninety-four-year-old paraplegic who is cared for by her husband, Van, said that their love life was sparked after she showered and he placed her in her chair to dry and fell face down in her twat."I said, 'as long as you're down there, Van, tend to the clitoris,' which I was most happy to say he did," Jane said.When he was asked what Jane tasted like, Van shrugged his shoulders and said, "Depends."
Is this funny? I know, Postcards is a satirical site, and it even says, "the editorial content on this page is fictional. It is presented for entertainment purposes only. We cannot be held responsible for the actions of anyone who takes this sort of thing seriously." What I'm bothered by is that the elderly seem be fair game for ridicule, and that's what I don't like.
Am I oversensitive when I say this is the kind of senior sex stereotyping and putdown that I resent? Should I just laugh, as I'm sure Gay intended? Or is this just one more example of our society's view of elders as pathetic and ludicrous if they enjoy and/or desire sex?
What do you think? Please tell me.

Billionaire Carl Icahn's investment company offered to buy the 18 percent of auto parts maker Federal-Mogul that it does not already own for about $213 million.
Shares of Federal-Mogul soared more than 40% in premarket trading on the news. (Get the latest quote here.)
Icahn Enterprises has been focusing on its auto business, its second largest by revenue, as a slump in crude prices slows growth in its energy business, which accounted for nearly half of its revenue in 2014.
The company said in December it would buy auto parts retailer Pep Boys-Manny Moe & Jack for about $1 billion.

I've been waiting to share this project until we re-do our mantle, but we ended up not doing any home improvements for awhile, and will be tackling the mantle as well as a couple other things before selling our condo (more details to come!).
Anyways, I figured I might as well share the first part of our fireplace renovation because I love it so much!
This is what it looked like before (after we built a mantle and temporarily taped textured wallpaper to the stone).
I never really knew what I wanted to do to the space, but then I stumbled upon this stuff called Airstone, which looks like real stones, but are super light, and can be glued to almost any surface. Sold!
So here is how the fireplace looks now!
It doesn't come in white, I painted it! There are two color options, a gray color and a beige color. I grabbed a box of gray on a whim and just started gluing peices on our fireplace, much to Tim's surprise!
It went on so quickly, like a dream! It was so easy to cut too!
We reached the top and then I dropped one of the last pieces, which is why we stopped with this lovliness:
I wasn't going to go buy a whole new box just for that little piece. I have a handful of scraps that I'm going to arrange to cover the tiniest gap, and then we are planning on bringing down the mantle to cover the first inch of stone anyway, so that will cover up the biggest missing piece!
I am completely in love! The stone bring such warmth!
I want the mantle to look just like this gorgeous fireplace from Hi Sugarplum:
But now that we're planning to sell, it will probably all remain white. Boo!
What do you think? I can't stop obsessed over it!
Until next time,

After playing last summer with punk headliners on the Van's Warped Tour - J&TL are hitting the clubs to promote their ep "Like a Bolt of Lightning" and the soon to be released full length cd "You're Speaking my Language".
One might wonder why a famous, wealthy actress would want to form a band and hit the club circuit. It's not about the money. The show is a combination of acting and spontaneous art. Juliette brings her outstanding emotion to life in its rawest form and seems to be quite comfortable in rocking the crowd.
Although the band and the music are quite good, the focus seemed to be on the alter-ego of Juliette - a Rock Goddess of sexual angst. Juliette seemed in a rare state of pleasure while reaching into the stage stlye of old school punk pioneers like Iggy Pop and Patti Smith. Juliette piloted the show with extreme craftiness. The fans were captivated - holding on every move. And moving is a signature quality for Juliette. Her non-stop contact with the fans and getting in the audiences face to writhing and twisting all over the stage - Juliette rocked!
The band seems to gravitate towards the punk modern type of style which brought an unusual mix of fans and celebrity on-lookers to the Bottom Lounge that seemed only semi- interested in the intensity of Juliette and her unique edginess. Unlike other celebrities that have entered musical endeavors to escape boredom, I really like what Juliette and the Licks have to offer and I think there is a place for them. Hopefully J&TL will continue touring and find the type of audience they need.

The Lozells and Handsworth Heritage Trail showcases 10 architectural heritage sites in the inner-city areas of Lozells and Handsworth. The project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The tour takes in some of the finest local Georgian and Victorian architecture, a convent design by Augustus Pugin, a church tower built over 1000 years ago, and one of the best examples of a Victorian park in the UK. Tours begin at Soho House, former home of the industrialist Matthew Boulton, and end on the Soho Road, the vibrant heart of Indian culture in Birmingham. The sidebar to the left of this page lists all of the sites individually.
There is a virtual tour (viewed on our Videos page), where interviews with people associated with the sites were recorded by volunteer Media students at Birmingham City University.
The Trail attracted attention from local and national media and was featured on BBC Midlands Today and BBC Radio WM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9O6EhurvA
Heritage Walks 2017 - 2018
All walks start at 12.00 noon from Soho House.
New dates for 2018 to be announced shortly
Other walks for specific groups can be accommodated by prior arrangement with the Legacy office.
Please call and enquire for private group walks on (0121) 348 8159/8158.
