17 Characters Who Ruined Perfectly Good TV Shows
Ray J on Kim Kardashian Sex Tape: It Was All Kris Jenner's Idea!
In tumultuous times like these, it can be beneficial to indulge in a bit of escapism by reflecting on a less complicated era, when we relied on simpler pleasures to keep us entertained.
So please, journey with us back to 2003:

It's been such an emotional roller coaster trying to keep up with the status of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's relationship, hasn't it?

Now that Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo are married, Duggar rules say they're free to do whatever they want with each other (so long as it's done in the name of procreation).
But recent episodes of the Duggar's reality series have taken place before the wedding, and we're beginning to learn a bit more about the weeks leading up to the nuptials.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's boxing journey has been a great inspiration to many people. Currently, he's boxing's pound for pound king and has been the most exciting boxer to watch in this generation.
His combination of speed and power made him a force to beat. He started his professional boxing career at only 106 pounds (light flyweight), and as he moved up from one weight to another so as his success as he captured many world boxing championships in different weight divisions.
He's currently the International Boxing Organization (IBO) and The Ring world light welterweight champion after beating Ricky Hatton by knockout (KO) in just two rounds last May. Now, he's moving another notch up to fight Miguel Cotto, the current World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion with the fight set to happen on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Many great boxers recognized Pacquiao's greatness. "Golden Boy", Oscar De La Hoya once stated this about Pacquiao, "His punches don't come from your basic boxing style, they come from all sorts of weird angles. That's what makes him difficult". He even listed Pacquiao not only as one of the greatest fighters he has fought but the guy with the fastest hands.
When boxing correspondent Elie Seckback interviewed some great boxers about Pacquiao, here's what they said;
Bernard Hopkins – former world middleweight champion
Sechback: "In your opinion, who's the best pound for pound fighter today? Is there one?"
Hopkins: "Right now? Pacquiao."
Sechback: "Hands down?"
Hopkins: "Hands down."
Chris Arreaola – heavyweight contender
Arreaola: "Uhm. You know, Manny Pacquiao started, everybody thought it was uh, double jab right hand, double jab right hand. This guy moved from that to being the fighter he is now and you know, everything, anything is possible. If you really want it, if you really want it that bad and he did and he does. But I seen him trained and he trains like a monster but the thing about him I love most is that, everything that Freddie Roach tells him, he does. And you see it just translates in the fight, perfectly."
Sugar Ray Leonard – captured many world titles in different divisions
Seckback: "What do you think about Manny Pacquiao, the Pacman?"
Leonard: "The Pacman. What can not be said about Pacquiao. You know, Manny is an amazing athlete, an amazing boxer. Uhm, you know without question, his heart, his desire is what makes him who is."
When EA Sports interviewed Winky Wright (former world light middleweight champion), Sugar Ray Leonard and Lennox Lewis (former undisputed world heavyweight champion) on who's their favorite fighter to watch right now regardless of weight class, here's what they said;

Parameter estimation in a subcritical percolation model with colouring, or cross-contamination rate estimation for microfluidics
We have just published a research paper1 about a nice combination of statistics and applied probability theory. The story opens with a novel mathematical model to quantify unwanted cross-contamination within lab-on-a-chip microfluidic devices. We apply the method of simulated moments (MSM) to estimate the parameters of the model. This method uses computer simulation with many different parameter proposals until the simulated data is close enough to the observed data. Our main contribution is that we prove the statistical consistency (`correctness') of this method. Proving that the estimate will converge with probability 1 to the true parameter value as the sample size tends to infinity was a challenge because of the dependence among our random sample's variables.

Which approaches to bringing about change make sense to me, and how concretely will I be involved in the days ahead? How can I get involved with key activist groups and make a real contribution?
With participating group 350.org . . .
Why divestment? In short: it just doesn't make sense for universities to invest in a system that will leave their students no livable planet to use their degrees on, or for pension funds to invest in corporations that will ruin the world we plan to retire in. The one thing we know the fossil fuel industry cares about is money. Universities, pension funds, and churches invest a lot of it. If we start with these local institutions and hit the industry where it hurts — their bottom line — we can get their attention and force them to change. This was a key part of how the world ended the apartheid system in South Africa, and we hope it can have the same effect on the climate crisis.
Read more about "McKibben, 350.org, Outlaw Fossil Fuel Companies, and the Divestment Strategy "
Pressuring Our Government
With Stop the Frack Attack on Illinois and others . . .
This workshop will discuss how citizens can pressure their governments on these major causes of the climate crisis. It will include an overview of energy production, transportation and big agriculture; some of the related issues in each of those areas; some of the bigger groups dealing with this issues at the Chicago city, Cook County, Illinois State and Federal government levels; and strategies and tactics for dealing with them at those and the international levels.
Participants will break up into action-oriented groups focused on each of those three causes and come back with proposals on how to address them. Read full session description here.
Direct Action
With participating group Rainforest Action Network and others . . .
Moving a campaign forward through direct action:
Direct Action can be a crucial part of the success of a campaign, but it must be used strategically. A successful action can help build a power base, shift public perception, and put pressure on power holders. We'll be joined by several seasoned organizers to explore how to use direct action strategicaly to move a campaign. We will examine the Tar Sands and Keystone XL direct action campaigns, as well as others, to examine how to use an escalation of tactics to move your opponent. We'll explore why and when to use direct action, what makes an action "stick," and how to organize a successful action.

Law and the Fight to Save the Planet
What does the legal face of the fight to save the planet look like?
Speakers will address different tactics used by activists in the struggle against climate crisis and those used by the government against them, and the role of the legal industry in protecting polluters, asking too: Is "environmental law" really a discipline? The discussion will begin with a general address by each speaker based on their experiences under current law, and will develop into an open discussion between attendees and presenters. Moderation and scheduling will be provided by the Chicago-Kent National Lawyers Guild.

Do you have dense breasts? An FDA advisory panel has recently approved a medical device that improves the effectiveness of your annual mammogram screening.
Did you know that breast density has been identified as a leading risk factor for breast cancer?
And that women identified as having dense breasts are 4 to 6 times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those with less-dense breasts?
"Dense breasts," a specific genetic condition that affects about 40% of all women being regularly screened for breast cancer, is based on the amount of fat tissue in your breasts: the less fat tissue, the higher your breast density.
But it's a characteristic, as well as a genetic condition. There's a huge range in breast density among women, with some exhibiting nearly all fat tissue in their breasts, while others have nearly none. In addition, being large-breasted doesn't automatically mean your breast density is low; and small breasts aren't always dense.
So how do you know if you have dense breasts?
While small-breasted and younger women are more likely than larger breasted/older women to have dense breasts, it's not something you can determine yourself.
Next time you have a mammogram, read the radiologist's complete report (if it's available). If it says your breast tissue is "heterogeneously dense," "very dense," or "extremely dense;" or if you see a "BI-RADS composition density" score of 3 or 4, then you have dense breasts.
If there's no indication of breast density in your mammogram report, contact the radiologist who read it, or your regular doctor; s/he should be able to give you details of the mammogram report. It's important to check this each time you have a mammogram, as breast density tends to change over the years.
Why does it matter how dense your breasts are?
Well, it makes a big difference when it's time for your annual mammogram.
Dense breasts can "hide" tumors from the X-rays used for mammogram screening. In an X-ray, fat tissue shows up clear, while breast tissue and tumors both show up opaque. Thus a woman with more breast tissue than fat (dense breasts) runs the risk of tumors being camouflaged within her breast tissue.
Even under the best conditions, mammograms miss up to 15% of cancerous tumors; in women with dense breasts, a standard mammogram is accurate in picking up tumors only 30% to 50% of the time.
Thus a recent action by a government FDA advisory panel could be good news for women with dense breasts.
This advisory panel has approved a simple screening technique (automated breast ultrasound screening) that, when used in conjunction with mammograms, showed 30% improvement over mammogram alone in identifying cancerous tumors. This technique is already in use in Canada and Europe, and could gain full FDA approval within the next year or so.
At this point, the somo-v Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS) is approved only for women who are at normal risk for breast cancer, aside from their dense breasts. It isn't recommended for women with increased risk due to genetic issues (BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers); for women who've been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past; or women who've had a breast aspiration or biopsy, even if negative.
Why the exclusions? Because the technique's down side is a proclivity for false positive results, which are higher anyway in women being checked more closely due to a previous history of breast issues.
However, the FDA board said this exclusion may change; and that in the meantime, women with dense breasts and previous breast issues should speak to their physician about whether the test might be appropriate for them.

Hi guys!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers...the place where readers come to celebrate the joys of the written word, every day of the week.
It's October! Did you know? No really...did you? This year seems to be flying by as a whole and with the Fall weather outside (well, somewhere at least), comes the season for creepy, spooky, and unusual reads. Today's featured title DEFINITELY brings the creepy, scary, and then some to the n-th degree, with a bag of chips, and please-sir-may-I-have-another written all over it. Not sure what I mean? Oh, you will be in the know by posts end but head my warning...this book is NOT for the kiddos. So if you'd be so kind as to join me in welcoming today's ebook of choice...
Jason Helford
About the book...
John has been a successful serial killer for his entire adult life, committed to his craft without detection or disruption. He's spent years perfecting his process and meticulously planning out each kill, honing his abilities to horrible heights; however, when one kill doesn't go as planned, his confidence is shattered, and his dark life starts down an even darker road, to either his salvation...or his ultimate downfall. John finds his private sanctum infiltrated by chaotic characters from the most unlikely of places, putting him through an existential crisis of the soul. As John loses control, his true crucible begins.
This book is SO TWISTED!
The opening scenes are NOTHING compared to what you'll encounter once you begin Chapter 1. John is....John is...well in the here and now, he's one sick puppy but once upon a time, he was your average Joe. How does someone go from normal to abby in the extreme? Oh, you'll see....and in his world their names were Mom and Dad. ~shudders~ Seriously, Child Protective Services were created for people like this...heck, prison wardens even!
Though the story walks the line of psychological thriller, making you think you are forever in his head as the other beings come into play, the truth is a bit harder to digest. I mean there is actual interaction between his "other selves" and the world at large....grant it they definitely wish they never met them, but that's beside the point...and yet when the final curtain is falling, nothing. Just POOF. That part was confusing, but then again....I'm not crazy so seeing how the story is told (predominently) through the eyes of John (Mr. Crazy personified) perhaps that's as much sense as that part will allow.
I will admit, the powers of interaction the author bestowed upon these others was curious; what they could and couldn't do, how they listened and whether their response was what John intended, and then of course there's the way they can umm...."process" his targets. (Hey, process is about the best word I can use because really....DON'T EAT LUNCH WHILE READING THIS!) Then there's the fact that we're experiencing everything John is and watching him struggle with reality from the inside out is pretty darn trippy.
In short, a story perfect for the time of year for fans of dark Fiction and/or Horror. It can be quite graphic at times and in truth, paints anything but a pretty picture; then again, when your medium is flesh and blood (emphasis on the blood), I do believe it was never meant to be. So consider this for your next creepy-in-your-face read...you won't be sorry!
About the author....

When most people think of iconic bags from Bottega Veneta, the Knot clutch comes to mind. The Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with an exhibit that traveled worldwide featuring over 50 renditions of the Knot. Upon taking the reins as Creative Director in 2001, Tomas Maier recognized the special quality of the rounded box clutch. Maier created the knot closure which he modeled after a leather knot. This addition to the box clutch gave the bag its name, the Knot.
The Knot continues to be reinvented every season, from the classics to the ornate and fanciful. Many styles of the Knot clutch are extremely limited in availability, some with 100 pieces made and others with as few as 25 pieces. You can always expect innovative ideas from Bottega Veneta when it comes to their Knot. For more visit Bottega Veneta online. Stay tuned today for an in depth look at my favorite Knot clutch to date.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

The Obama administration announced recently that it would start overtly arming the Syrian "rebels." Overtly, as opposed to covertly. I have a hard time believing that they're just now starting to arm the rebellion. They've been doing this for a long time under the radar. It's just that, now, they're making it public.
Apparently, there had been a delay in getting the arms to the rebel groups in Syria, but it's being reported now that those shipments are finally coming in. The Washington Post reported last week:
"The CIA has begun delivering weapons to rebels in Syria, ending months of delay in lethal aid that had been promised by the Obama administration, according to U.S. officials and Syrian figures. The shipments began streaming into the country over the past two weeks, along with separate deliveries by the State Department of vehicles and other gear — a flow of material that marks a major escalation of the U.S. role in Syria's civil war. The arms shipments, which are limited to light weapons and other munitions that can be tracked, began arriving in Syria at a moment of heightened tensions over threats by President Obama to order missile strikes to punish the regime of Bashar al-Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons in a deadly attack near Damascus last month."
When they say "light weapons," they're not talking about slingshots:
"The CIA has been delivering light machine guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, following President Barack Obama's decision to arm the rebels. The agency has also arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti-tank weaponry like rocket-propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that has been arming the rebels, a senior U.S. intelligence official and two former intelligence officials said Thursday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly."
They call them "light weapons" when they're talking about arming terrorists. If Americans had these so-called "light weapons," they'd go to jail. They're illegal. (Well, essentially illegal.)
Can you imagine if Obama allowed only semi-automatic rifles with magazines with no more than a 10-round capacity to be sent to the rebels? They'd laugh. They want real weapons. Like real assault weapons. Machine guns. Anti-tank weapons such as RPGs. And I'm sure that's not all.
The dark irony here is that U.S. taxpayers are working and paying taxes to a government that is slowly but surely disarming Americans through regulations in the name of getting guns off the streets and out of the "wrong hands." It's about "public safety and security." And the children. All the while, this tax money is being spent on arming terrorists overseas with machine guns and RPGs. Makes perfect sense.

text: Spike TV is producing to be a moving Heath Ledger documentary called I am Heath Ledger, and to be honest… the trailer looks good. Get those tissues ready! It's been almost 10 years since the death of Heath Ledger, if you can believe that. While we've always enjoyed his acting in films, we never imagined that a documentary on his life would ever be made. The documentary features his close friends and family and talking about the kind of person Heath was. One specific thing it mentions in the trailer is that he always had a camera with him. Much of that footage he shot is peppered through the documentary. This is a great way to show who the real person is. I am Heath Ledger premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival April 23 and be available in select movie theaters May 3. It also will air on Spike TV on May 17.

More than half of Taiwanese do not agree with the concept of a "constitutional one China" (憲法一中), while nearly one-quarter reject Beijing's "one China" principle, a media survey showed.
The survey, commissioned by the Chinese-language online media outlet My Formosa, defined "constitutional one China" as: "According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, its amendments and relevant laws, the sovereign territory of our country is comprised of the Taiwan region and the Mainland region. Therefore the two sides across the Strait belong to the same country, which is the Republic of China."
The poll showed that 8.9 percent of respondents "strongly agreed" with the statement, while 23.7 percent "somewhat agreed" — for a total of 32.6 percent.
However, 20.7 percent of respondents said they "somewhat disagreed" and 33.3 percent said they "strongly disagreed" with the definition — for a total of 54 percent — while 13.4 percent had no opinion.
A cross-analysis of the survey, which was conducted by opinion surveyor Tai Li-an (戴立安), showed that 52.4 percent of pan-blue supporters agreed with the Constitution's definition.
The definition found little favor among pan-green supporters, with the rates of disapproval surpassing 60 percent among respondents aged 20 to 29, residents of Kaohsiung and Pingtung, and those with university degrees.
The survey asked about Beijing's "one China" principle, defined as: "The Chinese government believes that the Republic of China was overthrown in 1949; consequently, the People's Republic of China is the only China extant in the world, with Taiwan being part of China's sovereign territory."
According to the poll, 2.6 percent of respondents "strongly agreed," while 11.6 percent said they "somewhat agreed" with Beijing's "one China" principle, for a total of 14.2 percent.
However, 22.1 percent said they "somewhat disagreed" and 50.4 percent said they "strongly disagreed" with the principle, for a total of 72.5 percent.
Among Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) supporters who answered the survey, 64.5 percent rejected Beijing's "one China" policy.
The survey asked about the US' "one China" policy, defined as: "The US government's one China policy acknowledges the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government representing China, without acknowledging Taiwan as a part of China and with the addendum that the Taiwan question must be settled peacefully."
According to the poll, 17.5 percent of respondents "strongly agreed" and 43.8 percent "somewhat agreed" with the US' policy, for a total of 61.3 percent.
Eleven percent of respondents "somewhat disagreed" and 13.6 percent "strongly disagreed" with the US' position, for a total of 24.6 percent, while 14.1 percent had no opinion.
The poll was conducted via computer-assisted telephone interviews, with 1,076 valid samples and a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

Hi Everyone! Have you already been to Naha Kokusai Street? It is very famous spot for tourists. I am sure all tour guide books introduce there because the both side of street are souvenir shops besides, it is near from Naha airport, so it is a good plan to go there before back to your home.
Tiny Amazing Grocery Shop " Okinawa Grocery "
I find a super cool store which called " Okinawa Grocery " in Naha city which is close from Kokusai street and Makishi Public Market. It is a very small shop, so you should pay attention when you are close from Makishi Public Market. Otherwise, you might have passed there without noticing. Their products are made in Okinawa. All products are high quality. It is a work full of producer's passion. You can also drink cordial soda which is made in Okinawa.
If you have questions, the stuff would explain very well. He is very kindness person. I could enjoy chatting with him and I could learn new Okinawa from him. Even if you do not meet the producer, you could feel their passion through Okinawa Grocery. Even for me, I was surprised that we have a lot of great products here. I also want local people to know there. A lot of people think that they do not want to lose our wonderful culture and good things. New is always good because it is new but we should not forget past, experience or history. I love mix thing between traditional and modern. I think" Okinawa Grocery " is the best for it. If you are looking for the souvenir, it would be a great present or souvenir to know and feel real Okinawa. Besides, the design is also cure and unique. I think we can utilize them after eating 🙂
Thank you.

Queenslander, Saturday 13 January 1900, p. 93
Discussing the position of the pearlshelling industry with a representative of this journal, the Hon. John Douglas, Government Resident of Thursday Island, said the season had not been favourable. The loss of so many boats, when about 300 men lost their lives, in the early part of the year, was a great blow. Since then there 'has been a good deal of wind, which always has the effect of clouding the water and (preventing the divers from seeing: the conditions, therefore, tended to indifferent results. The prices in London, too, have not been altogether good. On the other hand, the prices of black-lip shell advanced, and as the yields of it have been good, the people with small boats profited. The people on Thursday Island have been suffering severely from want of water. If it had not been for the reserve of water at the fort the position would have been worse. The Government Resident is now endeavouring to do something which he hopes will lead to a sufficient water supply being obtained; in fact, it is one of the objects of the present visit.
An occasion recognised as of some importance was the visit during the year of the Home Secretary and Mrs. Foxton. The extended tour which they took through the islands has, "Mr. Douglas considers, enabled Mr. Foxton to understand the position of the people more thoroughly than any Minister has yet done. They felt that be now knew all about them, and that he would do his best for them. Mr. Foxton has taken a great Interest in the education of the Islanders of Torres Straits. It would be a great mistake, Mr. Douglas interposed, to identify these with the mainland aboriginals of Queensland. They are much more advanced in civilisation, live in well-built grass houses, and subsist by means of cultivation and fishing. They are very anxious to improve their position, and eager for education. Wherever education can be given, Mr. Douglas feels sure Mr. Foxton will endeavour to provide the means of teaching them English. In connection with this subject it may be mentioned that Mr. Douglas has undertaken to deliver a lecture, probably on the 16th instant, under the auspices of the 'Royal Geographical Society, on the subject, "The Islands and inhabitants of Torres Straits.'' He has several interesting charts on a rather large scale, which will enable the people to understand the relative positions of the Islands, about, which so little is known.
Not very much has been done during the year on the goldfields. On Horn Island very extensive works for crushing and conserving water are being erected, about forty men being employed. But it is not anticipated that there will be any crushing for two or three months. One reason there was so little in gold mining done this year was that the leases" were being transferred to a Melbourne syndicate, who are erecting the machinery referred to. Within the next few months it is anticipated that there will be eighty stampers at work on Horn Island. The field is of the character that all the soil contains more or less gold, everything being taken to be put through the mill. The gold is not of a high class, but it appears to pervade the whole of the workings. A little gold is being got at Possession Island, the yield being nearly an ounce to the ton.
Trade with New Guinea does not make any appreciable advance. A certain amount of copra and sandalwood comes to Thursday Island, and it is shipped on, principally by the China boats, it is understood In Thursday Island that the prospects of the goldfields of New Guinea are very good. At Cloudy Bay there has been a new discovery. Between Milne Bay and Mullins's Harbour there is an extensive highland region which yields gold. Though the deposits are not rich, all the diggers there are satisfied, as the ground pays, and there are plenty of carriers from Mullins's Harbour, a very populous district.
The Japanese Government are keeping to their contract with the Queensland Government with regard to the admission of Japanese to Thursday Island. None without passports are now coming in, and very few even with passports. Occasionally a few Japanese go to Japan, and some of these get permission to come back. "I don't think there is any dread at present of any great Japanese inroad," said Mr. Douglas. "They make capital boat builders, and they command that industry altogether. They turn out just as good boats as any built In Sydney."
In connection with the defences, Mr. Douglas said a road party had been at work all the year, and had done very well, under a Mr. Park and Captain Coxon. The latter took a great, interest in the military occupation of Thursday Island. The Rifle Club is in a very healthy condition, and a new drill shed has been erected. It was hoped that these would impart some vigour to the Garrison Artillery, a volunteer force. Most of the men of the Permanent Force volunteered for service in South Africa, but their offer has not so far been accepted. The military force is in a very sound condition. The men give very little trouble, and attend to their duties.
There have been a few cases of typhoid fever during the year. A new surgeon has arrived for the hospital, to which a new wing is about to be added.
Mr. Douglas returns to Thursday Island about the 20th of the month.

Posted By Sharon
This may be my last installment on Barcode Booty because I feel I've given you lots of ideas from it that will help you get started. This one is about Outlets and Outlet Malls. Yes, you read that right.. Honestly I thought he had covered everything in a previous chapter about Outlets but I was definitely wrong.
There are outlets online but you have to be very careful when choosing which ones to use. Some of the items may be 2nds or a cheaper grade than you expect. Steve says some things are sent to the outlets for a reason...they just don't sell or aren't worth selling. So buyer beware. He has several reputable outlets listed in his book so he doesn't leave you hanging.
Concerning Outlet Malls....yes, I love them too but did you know that some of the 'Big Name' outlet stores may not be what you think they are? Some of them (he shares who they are) manufacture items just for the Outlet Mall store and then the stores are encouraged to put inflated original prices on the tags so you feel you're getting a good deal. Now there's nothing wrong with the items but they probably wouldn't be found in the regular retail store. You have to be the judge on the quality but don't purchase with intent of reselling unless you're sure it is really a good bargain.
When buying books from outlets again it can be tricky. That's where the apps for your phone or the subscription scanners come in handy. I can relate a personal story on this. Our local Blockbuster is going out of business. We stopped in and they had several TV series for $4.99 each. They were well known series so that sounded like a good deal UNTIL I looked them up on Amazon and found out I'd be lucky to make a couple of dollars on each of them IF they sold. So needless to say, I passed this time.
Hope this has helped you. If this has been interesting to you, do a search for the book on Amazon and purchase it. It's been very helpful to me.

Honeymoon Revealed!
So head on over to learn about our tips and secrets to have a honeymoon full of fun, adventures and relaxation!
What did you do for your honeymoon?
Monday, July 30, 2012
1000 Days!
this book, anyone remember it?).
As for the rest of our weekend? Here's a random rambling:
I discovered the cricut! What's a cricut, you ask? An amazing machine that allows you to make your own di-cuts, if you're old enough to remember those. It does a number of other things too. My friend let me play on hers for a bit the other night and it was pretty fun but I doubt I'll be investing into one of my own anytime soon....pricy!
On Saturday morning we played tennis in the OU Tennis Facility with some of our friends. Pretty much all of us are terrible, with the exception of my hubby-who should just go pro ;), so we learned to practice our form and actually hit the tennis balls of the net with this handy machine. It was a lot of fun although my arm has been nagging on me ever since...it's been feeling weirdly numb for the past two weeks and playing tennis definitely didn't help the case (good thing I go to the doctor's today!).
The family I nannied for, for like 7 years finally were able to adopt the four children they'd been fostering for around a year or so. I couldn't be happier for this sweet family! Spend anytime around me and you'll soon learn my deep love and respect for the Obers. When I began with them all they had were their own two little girls, and even back then Eric had told me they would eventually have ten. The Obers are some of the sweetest, most loving, most God honoring families I know. They've gone through so much in life and yet they never waiver in their trust in the Lord. He surely has blessed them.
Anyone else take AP English in high school? Remember AP practice writing essays? Well I'm pretty sure I did one at least every week in the 11th grade...but this pile is from all four years of high school! Can't believe I held onto all of them! Anyone else hold onto school papers?
This weekend we also bought curtains for our master bedroom and cleaned up one messy corner. Looking more and more like home every weekend. We have a few more projects to finish up there but eventually I'll share some pictures.

Everyday Surprises
It seems ever since that first meeting, not a day goes by that I don't discover something new, perhaps odd, and definitely unique about my husband. From basketball fashion to silly sayings, that man is constantly surprising me in the everyday. And although some things we change,...some we laugh about...and some we learn to love.
The other night we were having a complete giggle fest and for the heck of it I decided to google his name. Kevin C Burns draws a lot of hits...and surprinsingly a lot of them really were him! Except this guy, that's not my husband. Kevin shows up on twitter, facebook, myspace, and the list goes on and on and then we reached this one, my friends please click on that link. WHO KNEW?! The husband has a blog too! Haha, boy did I enjoy flipping through some of these old pictures...oh sweet man, I'm glad we met later in life, and you're glad too (we're not showing old high school photos of me here).
He doesn't like PB&J and thinks cold noodles are terrible; he loves brown sugar cinnamon pop-tarts and eats them everyday for breakfast; he thinks sports jerseys are perfectly acceptable to wear out and about (maybe you do too,but we've decided they're for watching games only) and supports every team he loves with deep passion; as a child he played sports by himself, and taped/chalked out the court/field patterns to exact specifications; he's always wanted to be a meteorologist and makes his own snow forecasts when there's a chance; he knows practically every christian music artists names/songs and only recently came to know and love pop/rap music; JT is his man crush and he can sing every word of several of his songs; sometimes he thinks he's from Canada or Australia or England and I never know what I'll get when I call him ( I'm concerned our kids won't know how to speak properly); If I'd let him, he'd grow out his beard to a ridiculous length and become a cave-like man; he wants his room pitch black at night and thinks we have to have black curtains or else it won't be; he has the goofiest laugh when you tickle him on his side and I have his dad to thank for that trick; he used to go by CDOT because he had a website and has many convinced he only has a middle initial, no name; he once hit a beaver while driving on a road trip, and you'll have to ask him for more info on that......
.....he has the sweetest nature, the most kind spirit, a deep trust with our Savior, and loves me more than I ever imagined I could be loved.
So while all these, and many other quirks, could make me go crazy, I choose instead to laugh a little and love a lot of these special, unique, rather silly but absolutely 100% Kevin C Burns.
ps: remember how I promised a honeymoon post, well it's coming I promise! Our computer, that has all our photos on it died...but we can recover them! However, that's what has set me back...well that and camp and the 15 day challenge. (read about camp and challenge here).

Holy Mystery
Hello blogging world! I am so glad that I've finally been able to catch up on a good chunk of your blogs. It was so good to get back in touch with yall and especially read some of yall's challenge posts as well.
Urban Serve camp here in Atlanta, Georgia is going well! We're getting close to worship time on our second day (first full day) and students are learning, serving, loving and worshipping our King! I've said before but I can't say it enough, absolutely nothing is better than to stand in the back of a worship room stuffed with students and watch them worship...just a stunning image that surely cannot be explained. It's such an overwhelming moment of such radical joy and emotion.
I'll share more about Urban Serve soon but tonight I'm going to do a little wrap up on Daytona Beach Camp. As stated before, we have Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio, Brett Younker also led worship in the mornings (look those guys up!). Therefore, please note that this is merely my mini summarization of their words.
Giglio spoke about how we are, each and every one of us, created by God Himself. We are His craftsmanship, His creativity, His design...therefore we should be audacious for that reason alone. He then spoke of how God's love for us is audacious: lavishly, extraordinarily poured out on us., looking at John 3. This spills out into audacious grace from the Lord: a party in your heart, as Giglio explained it. We see audacious grace in the passage of Luke 15, the parable of the lost son, through the grace the father pours out on his son upon his return. Because of His audacious love and audacious grace--He gives us life! In sin, we are dead, in His sovereign love and grace, we have life.
Message translation of the Bible:
They all realized they were in a place of holy mystery, that God was at work among them. They were quietly worshipful—and then noisily grateful, calling out among themselves, "God is back, looking to the needs of his people!" The news of Jesus spread all through the country.
Looking at the words: Holy Mystery and quietly worshipful and noisily grateful. God shows up in this passage and all the people can do is stand in astonishment, first quiet and just in awe and then noisy, exclaiming His glory...amazed. This passage ends with the news spreading throughout the country...this is important. It is not enough for us alone to experience holy mystery and enjoy the splendor of that moment for ourselves...we must share, we must proclaim!
With four days of two messages, you better believe there's a whole lot more to share but I'll end on that note, let it sit with you a while...maybe you'll start to notice holy mystery in your life and become audacious!
After a not too late night of loading out from Daytona, we slept in a bit and hopped in our 15Ps (15 passenger vans) and took off for Atlanta, Georgia (as you now know we're here). And since camp didn't begin till Monday morning and we couldn't load in till Sunday night, we got some free time in this great city and hit the ballpark! It was such fun between watching the game, escaping the sun, and enjoying time with our team.
the great blog), took this great picture of us there:

Movies and Compliments
Yesterday's prompt was: if you could only have one movie for the rest of time, what would it be?
That's a tough one because I'm a movie person...I love them! Basically all genres but horror, no thank you/ As I said on Friday's post, my favorite movie is Notting Hill. And while Sar made the point that we don't necessarily have to pick our favorite, I think I am. Notting Hill is a romantic comedy with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, and it's about her being a movie star and him being some regular 'ole chap who just so happens to randomly meet her and fall in love with her. I love this movie! It's super funny, "we believe vegetables have feelings....so these carrots?...have been murdered, yes," is that line not evidence enough?The humor is sly and nonchalant at times so you have to pay attention to get it all...which makes it a great movie to watch over and over again. It's also loaded with British accents, always a plus! And although in the end they do come together, it's got some twists and turns in it. It also finishes out their story, which is another great reason to love it! It shows them getting married, learning to live with her fame and finally with her being pregnant...sorry if I've totally just spoiled it, I promise you'd love it despite all I've told you.
My favorite part:
DAY 15!!! Oh my! I can't believe it's over!!!
The prompt today is what is the greatest compliment you've ever received?
Goodness, I adore how my husband is always loving me with his words. However, I think I'd have to say the best was a student telling me she enjoyed watching me worship. I tend to dance in worship...it's just something I do, I feel it best expresses my joy of singing to my Jesus. When this student told me this, it just filled me up. Of everything I do on this earth I want the Lord to be known, not me. So that was the best compliment, because basically it was compliment of God in me, shining through, and that, my friends, is what living is all about...making our God known!
This challenge was such fun Sar! I am so glad I participated despite the strange hours and doubled challenges. Other challenge goers, I will catch up on reading yalls challenge posts soon! I just haven't had the time to really sit down and read through blogs...but I shall! Though it may be when I get home, so in that case when I post a comment on a blog post a week or so ago just go with it.
I promised I'd share Daytona Beach Camp wrap up today but I don't want to overwhelm this post so hopefully I can get that to you tomorrow. Tomorrow we begin Urban Serve here in Atlanta, Georgia. The second and final week of camp for Party Team 12! It's flying by so fast.
Today, we are going to real church! We are actually headed to the home church of Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin, called Passion City (they host the Passion college conference too, you should check that out).
Tonight we have to load in our camp, starting at 6pm! So pray for energy for us and that we can get it done quickly and smoothly so we aren't up too late. See you later bloggers, I'm off to worship my King and be refilled with His Word!

A Few of My Favorite Things
- My husband: He's my best friend, I can talk to him about anything, he serves me, takes care of me, loves me with all that he is... and currently he's brushing my hair, and that's always awesome. ( he also braids, see here)
- Boy Meets World, come one now, who can't agree that was the best tv show ever?! To some extent I married Cory Matthews (see here)
- Reading, I enjoy fiction mostly but currently I'm reading about Jackie Kennedy and really enjoying that as well.
- Pictures...documenting life with pictures
- My pillow, whom I sometimes personify.
- The great state of Texas! (see here)
- Sea turtles (see here)
- The University of Oklahoma....BOOMER SOONER!
- PEARLS! and PINK! hence the blog name...
- My Jesus, My Savior, My Father (see here and here)
- Notting Hill...the best romantic comedy of all time
- Sigma Phi Lambda, the Christian sorority on campus at OU that I was blessed to be apart of for 4 years!
- The 50's...I would wear those beautiful classy dresses every day of my life if I could!
- Interior Design, of course
- Chocolate and peanut butter...they compliment each other so well. This means that Reese's is indeed the best candy.
- Victorian architecture
- Brad Paisley...I shall see this man in concert one day
- Disney (though I don't compare to my sister on this)
- Family
- The Sound of Musics (hence post title)

Day 12
Today is day 12 of the challenge with Sad!...well yesterday was as it is now 12:30, oops!
Question today? What are you looking forward to in the next 6 months?
First thing that came to my mind was.....PUPPY!!!!!!!
I've been planning on getting a puppy after graduation for years, not a wedding...a puppy. Since I surprisingly had a wedding first I didn't get the puppy. Soon people! Soon!!! The hubs said today that we could maybe start looking around September! We already have a name, read about that in some past challenge posts. I'm on the hunt for another sweet Labrador retriever ...preferably white because you know owners are supposed to match their dogs and I have blonde hair. Ha!
Don't worry I'll keep yall updated on this new upcoming adventure in out lives!
It's been a long final day of camp but we are loaded out of the ocean center here in Daytona and we are about to head to bed soon. Onward to Georgia tomorrow!!!
Ps: the pretty puppy pic came from Google...she is not mine and the picture is not mine either.

The Best. The Embarrassing.
We were on site for camp from 7:30 till 11:30 and you better bet that after being on my feet for about 90% of the day I went straight to bed. Sorry bloggers. So I'm catching up on the yesterday's challenge and giving you today's. Because of this, I'll probably be shorter on these two challenges.
Day 9: Describe the Best Day of Your Life
Goodness...the best day? I have so many! Graduation from High school, starting college, graduating from college this past May, embracing Jesus as my Savior, Kevin proposing (see that here and here and here), our wedding day of course, and every day of our honeymoon.
Our wedding, besides the honeymoon, is the most recent so I'll give you a glimpse into that today. I promised a wedding break down and a honeymoon breakdown...I apologize to you, I am waiting for pictures to tell you all about the wedding, and as for the honeymoon, well I've just been crazy busy.
Our wedding day was beautiful. We began our days apart, per tradition, with our respective parties. The ladies and I got our hair all done up prettifully ( my hair reminded me of a princess, in my head it's not exactly what I envision but I wouldn't have done it any other way now), and hung out with my lovely maids eating sweets and giggling. Our ceremony took my breath away. I walked down the aisle to one of my favorite music pieces, Dawn from Pride and Prejudice, we spoke our written vows to each other, prayed over each other, mmm our pastor did a wonderful job, and the receptions was so joyous...I'd say more but I'll leave that to the breakdown posts.
Day 10: What is your most embarrassing moment?
I tend to have at least one of these a day however, the one that has gone down in my life history goes all the way back to the 7th grade. Then, in my math class, we all borrow graphing calculators from the teacher. At the end of class, every day, we would count them up and put them away. On this particular day, we counted them up and found we were one short. The class was ordered to check their bags, and look around. I swear that I took my calculator up and put it in that darn bin. So I didn't check my bag. Class was held for 10 minutes into lunch time due to the missing calculator. We eventually were released with instruction to FIND it. I get to the cafeteria, open my back pack and you won't believe what's in there. I crawled back to my teacher later that day and delivered it back. To this day, I promise someone must have dropped it in there. Nevertheless, this happenstance made it's way through the whole school and when graduation day of the 8th grade came and I was given my silly award(everyone got one in my school), mine was: I swear the calculator is not in my backpack. Terrible.
That's all for today bloggers. I'll try and be better! And post more pictures! Join in the challenge! It's not too late!

Reg Day
And so begins camp! I'll probably be making my day 9? (Has it been that long already?!) ...post for the challenge tomorrow. In about 20 minutes I will be registering youth pastors and that will take up most the day. In the evening we will do worship and after all that I'll be wiped. So while I love you I'll probably opt for more sleep.
Have a fabulous Monday yall!

|That's Reg Day apparel right there!
Apart from camp, it's Day 8 of the Challenge. Day 8 prompt: Describe the good, the bad, and the ugly about yourself.
Well that's a deep and revealing topic but I'll be hones with you, short due to my time constraint but honest. So here we go:
The Good: I tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I'll be friends with just about anyone and I'll try and give my all to every friendship.
The Bad: Sometimes because of my good trait, my ability to really zero in on some friendships and be a real friend to everyone falls short. So I fail on calling people and keeping up with people and their lives and their hearts...I just forget.
On another, less deep note, I'm terrible at remembering new people's names...serious, it's a problem.
The Ugly: I'm incredibly impatient. I've also got a bad attitude about my old beaten up car...when it breaks down, I say when because inevitably it always does every other month or so, I cry and throw a complete selfish whine fest about how my life is so hard with my 18 year old car. I don't know how my father has dealt with that selfish act so many times before.
It's back to Student Life stuff for me. Most likely we'll be here late into the night setting up for Reg Day tomorrow (reg day: registration day: when all the campers and their youth pastors check-in to camp, get their t-shirts and their camp booklets-called the magazine, and find out other odds and ends...) with around 200+ churches to check-in it'll be another very long day but God is good and He will be our strength!
You should check out this awesome new gal I just met on my team here in Daytona...Katherine has been posting all about her summer with StudentLife. She's a full time mission staff, and part of the yellow traveling team so she's here with us on green team at Daytona to give us some extra hands. She also stopped by to help out my original team, Aqua, so you should check her blog and see some of my fam from summer 2010!

Sushi and Sunsets
Well I have a whole list of favorites but that would take too long and I'm on the cell blogging again. Instead, I'm sharing with you a book a I read a couple years ago and really enjoyed! Written by David Crowded himself, this book is humorous and offers a fresh view of the day to day life we live. Finding God in sushi and sunsets.
This book is Praise Habit
It's awesome!! Read it now!
- note: I don't know how this post became part bold print...that's what you get for using the Blogger app.
I can't end without highly suggesting Pride and Prejudice...see day one and day five for more on that.
Tall to yall later! I'm in the 15P and on the phone so I'm going to relax and converse with my team mates. Daytona here we come!

Baby Turtles
So onward to Day 6: What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't? Why not?
|Julia Frost
5 People
Today's Post? 5 people you'd like to have dinner with.
Candice Olson: This woman is a fabulous designer who is widely known for her work shown on Divine Design on HGTV. She's beautiful, she's talented, and she seems to balance her life quite well too. I'd love to talk design with her and find out more about her career road. Her work is stunning! Just google her name and you'll see thousands of images of spaces she's designed.
Jane Austen: I am quite possibly obsessed with this woman's talent for writing beautiful novels. To chat over some of her characters and possibly what she envisioned for their futures, past the novels' end, would just be a blast. Perhaps she could even bring along Mr. Darcy! (side note: did you know Bath has a Jane Austen Centre? New bucket list item!)
3. My Great Grandmother Ginny: My sister's name came from our great grandmother. My mother and really all our family speaks so highly of her and I was too young to ever truly know her before her passing. It would be wonderful to dine with the woman who birthed my grandmother and my four great aunts and uncles.
LeAnne Tuohy: Last year I had the chance to listen to this woman speak at our university for a special event put on my one of the greek sororities. Her story is incredibly touching and the movie truly is beautiful. Just listening to her that night inspired me, I'd love a chance to know more, to hear about her faith, to learn how she juggles it all, etc. Not to mention, she's an interior designer so bring on the design knowledge!!
Paul from the Bible: Finally, Paul from the Bible, alive when Jesus walked our earth. This man experienced remarkable growth and miraculous moments in His life and I think I could just listen to him talk and talk and talk. He wrote several of the books we read today in our Bibles. His passion, his faith...his life is one we can all learn from and relate to. He could bring Jesus too, cause it'd be pretty great to have dinner with Him too. ;)
Of course, I have to say I'd love for my sweet hubby to join in on this awesome dinner as well.
Did you figure out which little girl I am from yesterday's post?
On a final note, totally gross bathrooms in gas stations on road trips...why on earth would one spend an extra few minutes in those gross fests to write on the bathroom stalls??? Please explain yourself!

And We're Off!
We had a fabulous fourth of July, perhaps one of my most favorite in a long time. The bark, from yesterday's post, turned out pretty well. I have changes to make for the next go around but I'll have to tell yall more about that later.
I'll make up for day 5 of the challenge with Sar at Life of Love. Right now I'm in the car on the Blogger app and I'm not sure how successful this will be. Any of you use the Blogger app?
And finally, my sweet cousin, Emily, gets married today!!! Congratulations my cousin and friend. You will most definitely be a beautiful bride! I wish I could be there but God has plans beyond what we can see. I can't wait to see pictures! I pray God will rock your marriage and take yall places you never could have guessed, imagined or request! (Ephesians 3:20)
And that's all for now lovelies. Hope I can check in later on the hubs laptop.

Happy Fourth!
In Norman, you can go to the local park and watch a pretty awesome firework display. People "camp out"( by camp out, I mean snag a great spot to watch the show and claim your territory with chairs and blankets galore...not literally camp out under the stars, I was asked this yesterday) and bring food, play games and chill before the show begins. We went last year just for the show. This year we're bringing the chow, more friends and loads of fun. Everyone is bringing something tasty to our mini Fourth of July party.
I will attempt to make 4th of July Bark from the blog, Love Stitched, which I found via pinterest. So I'll have to let you know how that goes.
Day 4: What's your favorite childhood memory?
Goodness what a hard prompt! I know for sure that I can't pick one favorite, I couldn't even pick one favorite article of clothing yesterday! How on earth can I pick one memory? These prompts are impossible...definitely not made of a girl of many words.
So instead of a sweet story of my most favorite memory, how's a couple snippets of multiple memories?
1. Crafting up a storm with my sisters during the summers...we made everything from homemade playdough and dollhouses to a sister cardboard car!
|Can you guess which one is me?
2. Playing house with my best friend, my sisters, and her siblings...we were ridiculous but oh what fun we shared! Probably about 99% of the time, I played the mom...who was surprised about that one? There was always quite a mess to clean up after one of those afternoons.
3. Family vacations: We traveled as much as possible and we always had a good time, be it on a super long drive with my mom reading us books, like the Doll People (great book people!), or taking an airplane. Beaches in Florida and the slopes of Telluride, CO were our most frequented visits. I'll never forget all the lovely surprises and awesome vacas my mommy planned out for us!

Tuesday, July 3, 2012
But hey, it's still a blast to watch! And I'm not here to bash the Bachelor and the Bachelorette and I certainly don't think any less of you who watch it. It's fun! So last night was the hometowns episode....what did yall think? Who's going to make it???
Day 3: Tell us about an article of clothing you're attached to.
This is hard one for me...there's the old t-shirt I love, my favorite Phi Lamb shirt has been worn one too many times I am sure of it, my prom dress, the go-to top, etc. I wouldn't consider myself a clothes crazy person, it's just that I tend to keep things I like forever...so instead of a single article of clothing I'm attached to, I'll give you 8!
1. My favorite Phi Lamb tshirt: If I'm going to wear a t-shirt, 9 times out of 10 I betcha I pick this one. I love the colors and the fit, it's loose but not too loose, and it's super soft...when we were dating my husband got super tired of it. Sorry hubs, it's not going anywhere. 2. My Phi Lamb fleece: I know two phi lamb things right in a row...I'm sorry, but not really. I wear this sweatshirt anytime I need something to warm me up, it basically lives on me in the winter. It has a zipper all the way up, I love that I don't have to pull it up and over my head And yes there is a giant sheep in the picture with us (learn more about Betsie here). 3. A blue top from The Limited, or one of those stores, I got in my senior year of High School. It's the perfect top for any occasion. It's fitted but slimming and it's got a sorta deep neck but still modest. The color is great, the material is oh so soft! It goes well will slacks, jeans, skirt, shorts....I'll keep this one for as long as I can! 4. My Oklahoma football shirt: my favorite OU t-shirt. I just love the graphic, and the fit and the length...it's great! It was made even better this last football season as I was able to get Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles to sign it! SWEET! 5. A lacey top from RUE21: I got this to wear for Valentine's Day two years ago and just adore it. It's off white and lacey with a cute dotted neckline, like pearls. It too goes great with a skirt, jeans, slacks, shorts. In that picture we were at a wedding show. 6. My prom dress: I love that dress, it fit perfect off the rack, it is pink, it has some sparkle...man I adored that dress that night. And then I got to wear again for a Phi Lamb formal, and then I wore it again for Halloween as Glenda the good witch, and then I wore it again as Sleeping Beauty (yep that's hubby being Prince Phillip, he even had a real sword...that was a great party). And yet I still refuse to get rid of it, surely my daughter will want to wear it to her prom, right? 7. Red dress from BCBG: I tried this dress on for fun when some of my bmaids and I went shopping for their dresses. I sent a pic to my mom, who works as a sales associate for BCBG, and next thing I know it, it's in my mailbox...it's a good thing to have her working there. I wore it for my first shower around Christmas time and again to my final Phi Lamb formal. That dress is awesome and I need another occasion to wear it so quick someone throw a dinner party! 8. Last but not least my wedding gown: I adore, love, and am completely obsessed with my wedding gown. The fit, the sweetheart neckline, the belt of crystals and PEARLS! I love the skirt, the perfect amount of poof for me...everything. I want to wear this dress everyday of my life! (read about when I said Yes to the dress!)
So there you have it. My articles of clothing I have deep attachments to. It's strange that there's not more dresses in there, I wear a dress as much as possible.

I was so excited to see this and it easily met all my expectations. I think what did it the most was the ending. It truly has me pumped for the other films to come! It was has me interested in the new Star Wars films, a franchise I generally have fun disliking.
Although I'm not anywhere near a Trekkie, I was pretty excited to see Star Trek Into Darkness because I really liked the first movie. I didn't really know anything about the plot of the sequel, but I actually ended up liking it more than the first movie, which sort of surprised me.
The movie was a lot more violent than I had expected; there's a terrorist attack and a lot of mass explosions that cause bodies to fall out of spaceships. I sort of wish there was less of that, not because it disturbed me necessarily, but because I like how intellectual Star Trek can be and it would have been nice to have more of that. But that being said, like the first one, my favorite part of Star Trek Into Darkness was the characters and the way they interact. I think that's the most realistic thing in the movie, and I also think when you have a story based on something that seems very unreal (like space exploration in the future), it's really important to have realistic relationships as a means of grounding the story and making it relatable. Star Trek Into Darkness does that well, and it also does a good job of walking the line between not taking itself too seriously and taking itself seriously enough. This is especially true with the relationship between Kirk (Chris Pine) and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban). I know the relationship between Kirk and Spock (Zachary Quinto) tends to get the most attention, and it deserves it, but Bones is overdramatic to the point that it annoys Kirk, and Kirk lets him know that. He lets Bones know when he's using too many metaphors when they're in a crisis, for example. It's just stuff like that I love here: funny, realistic, but not overly goofy.
And I guess it's no surprise that Benedict Cumberbatch is super scary here. He's kind of Hannibal Lector scary (not that he eats people); his scariness comes more from him being so composed all the time than just being violent. I've never seen Sherlock, but I've seen Atonement, where Cumberbatch plays a child rapist, so ever since then I've never seen him in a positive light. It definitely works to his advantage here. Also, I know he's a redheaded Englishman, but they make him look ultra pasty here, which ends up being ultra creepy.
I have to say though, I was sort of disappointed that there wasn't a Tyler Perry cameo the way there was in the first movie. You can't have everything, I guess.
