Also closed due to shutdown for some reason: The U.S. military cemetery in Normandy; Update: "Because we have a tea party"
posted at 5:21 pm on October 3, 2013 by Allahpundit
Not just the one in Normandy, either. All 24 overseas cemeteries are being shuttered while the shutdown is on because … that's just the way it is. Presumably it has to do with lack of funding for security. In that case, do the children and grandchildren of fallen American soldiers who've flown across the ocean to pay their respects really need to be policed to make sure they don't vandalize anything? If you're worried about the locals doing something like that, you could close the cemetery overnight and ask for volunteers to stand watch and call the cops if any opportunistic miscreants swing by during the day. I'm reasonably sure you could find volunteers for a job like that. But once again, the government wants to maximize hardship during the shutdown, not mitigate it.
So if you're in Normandy right now and hoping to visit grandpa's grave, I guess this is a lesson to you to be careful about supporting parties that support shutdowns.
Tourists travelling to Omaha Beach to pay their respects to the 9,387 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial will find it closed, a victim of the U.S. government's partial shutdown.
The site overlooking the D-Day invasion beaches is one of 24 U.S. military cemeteries overseas that have closed to visitors since Monday. Ten more cemeteries in France, as well as others in various European countries as well as Mexico, Panama, Tunisia and the Philippines, will remain closed for the duration of the shutdown.
Legal Insurrection is calling on the GOP to offer a small funding bill aimed at re-opening the cemeteries. No doubt they will, given the play this story's getting in the news today, and no doubt Reid will instruct has caucus to vote no on it just like he wants them to vote no on restoring NIH funds for kids with cancer. It's more important to maintain the "no negotiation" posture and deny the GOP any opportunity to ease the consequences of the shutdown than to, say, let the kids of the men who died on Omaha Beach into the cemetery in Normandy. If they can't impose a hardship on living vets to teach people that Shutdowns Are Bad, maybe they can get 'em in death.
Exit question: Anyone else think MLB and the NFL, if only for the publicity value to them, might be willing to offer free TV rights to their games to the Pentagon while the shutdown is on so that troops stationed overseas can watch? Has anyone at the Pentagon even asked them?
Update: Presented without comment.
As Politico reported Thursday, during the 1995 government shutdown congressional Republicans and President Bill Clinton were able to agree to a "stopgap bill to assure funding for veterans, welfare recipients and the District of Columbia."
Why won't Senate Democrats and President Obama agree now to any more stopgap funding bills?
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York told THE WEEKLY STANDARD following a noon press conference Thursday that in 1995 "it was a different world." Why is that? "Because we have a Tea Party," Schumer said without elaborating as he walked away.

Cacao 600
Caps of clouds over the volcanoes at the start of the day. Drove up to Quebrada Grande and picked up Manuel and then continued in the Jimmy to Gongorra. Hiked over the river to the Malaise site. Traps were in the ground by 8:30. The dominant ant here is CERTAINLY a small, stout Pachycondyla. I have never seen pitfall traps so full. Also some cool stem-living Dolichoderinae and Azteca. The stem living ants (Myrmelachista?) had queens flying too. The weather was reezy, clear and warm. After pulling traps here, did some RNAlater sampling for acacia ants on the way down the mountain.

Dogue De Bordeauxs are very intelligent dogs although they may not look it sometimes when you pitch them against different breeds. You will notice when giving a Dogue a command such as sit or stay, they will think about it to see what they are going to get out of it before doing the command. They know exactly what you are saying, but they want to try and be one step ahead.
Although the Dogue is a very clever dog, this doesn't make them the easiest breed to train and you would need to be very strong willed and certainly let them know who is boss from the very start!
If you do socialise your Dogue De Bordeaux with both other dogs and humans then you will develop a life long bond with a dog that would do anything to make you happy and protect you, don't be surprised when they have their stubborn moments though!
When you start to house train your Dogue De Bordeaux it is important to start by building the routine around your dog and when they are very young they can't hold it in for too long! It is worth investing in a pack of Training Pads
To start with you will find that your Dogue will want to go to the toilet literally every hour so you need to be ready to act when they are ready, take them out into the garden every hour or so and repeat cue words like 'wee wees' and 'poo poos' so eventually they will associate this with doing their business. Once they have finished outside, reward them with a treat
We suggest using Toilet Training Bells which attach to your dog's collar so you can hear their movements and so you know whether they are waiting by the door for you.

Compared to computer games, movies and professional graphics tools the amount of 3D rendered, interactive web content is still rather minimal these days. When we shop online (e.g. deciding if we want to buy a new camera) we often get to see some photographs from pre-set perspectives. In better cases there is a 360 degree view available that has been built out of photographs, but lacks any sort of interactivity with the object and might not provide the required details.
With HTML5 and WebGL there is an opportunity to enrich the web with 3D content. However, for a regular web designer it is rather hard to get interactive 3D models integrated into their webpage and have them viewable across the compute continuum (from high-end workstation machines to mobile phones) due to the coding complexity and inability of the same code to work across different compute devices. This is where XML3D will likely play an important role in the future. It is an extension of HTML5 developed by the Intel Visual Computing Institute*, DFKI and the Saarland University under the lead of Kristian Sons.

Back when I started my research, there was no "online." To get a few census records, it took a four-hour drive to the National Archives branch, and a full day of hand-cranking through reels of microfilm squinting at names in hopes of finding the right ones. Next, vacations had to be planned around going to towns where my ancestors lived to find whatever records could be found there, or you had to mail a request to some librarian or county clerk or whatever, along with a check, in hopes they would find your needed document and mail you a copy when they got around to it. Every nugget of info was so hard-won. It was in times like those that the term "genealogy happy dance" came into being.
So, a couple weeks ago, I sat down at the computer with two names and birthdates in hand, and Ancestry open in one tab and FamilySearch open in another. I had no real idea what was about to happen.
By the end of the day, I had no less than five full generations of my friend's family tree documented with various census records, birth register records, and even a death certificate or two. Wow. I printed out each document, then turned it over and printed out the copied-and-pasted source info on the back. I used old-fashioned paper pedigree charts and family group sheets to build some quick-&-dirty family charts I could refer to as I went along. I also made a document inventory sheet for each direct-line ancestor and marked what documents I'd found for each.
During this process, I had the following thoughts:
- Wow. Wow. Wow. (rinse and repeat....)
- Wish I could have made these awesome print-outs right from the start when I was researching my own family tree, with all the source info printed so tidily right on the back!
- Wish I could have also downloaded image files like these and had them on my computer for easy sharing and easy import to my database.
- Speaking of which, if I were just now starting my research and my database from scratch, it would be a lot easier to cite sources than it was back in the day.
- Should I give this to my friend or not? I feel like I've stolen five generations of genealogical discovery, i.e. GENEA-FUN, that she could be having herself.
- Gosh, it would hardly be 20 years of genea-fun, would it? It wasn't even 12 hours of genea-fun. And really, it was so easily won, and could so easily be redone some other day, and by anyone, honestly, it seems a little less compelling as a pursuit.
So, in the end, was it worth the time I spent on it? Most definitely yes! What a fascinating look at the way genealogy has changed in the last twenty years, for better, for worse, and particularly for different! And what a huge level of appreciation I have for all the people who have lent a hand to do scanning and uploading and indexing and all that's required to make records so readily available that twenty years' work can be done in a day.
And most of all, to those of us who did our research the old-fashioned way, before there was "online," I remind us that our labors were not time wasted. It was our interest that spurred the developments that make research a whole different animal today.
But I'm feelin' a little nostalgic for the old-time happy-dance. Didn't it have a little more vigor back then?

Banias, as well as being a place of great natural beauty, is the site of ancient Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus demanded to know of His disciples who people were saying He was. The story has added poignancy because of the location: Caesarea Philippi was the local center of the Cult of Pan (hence Panias/Banias) and, as being close to the source of the Jordan, had the river gushing out of a cave that led people to declare it was the river Styx, the gateway to the underworld.

Gumbo File of Superior Quality from Starwest Botanicals
Starwest Botanicals, a certified bulk herbs processor that offers only the finest quality dried herbs and spices is pleased to present our gumbo file seasoning.Seafood gumbo file is a seasoning powder used in a dish called gumbo that is from the Louisiana area of the United States. It is a stew that is made with seafood such as crab and shrimp, and often has wonderful southern Andouille sausage added; it may also contain chicken and ham. As with other Cajun and Creole recipes from this region, the vegetables used in gumbo are known as the "trinity," and consist of diced onions, bell peppers and celery. Some recipes also call for okra and tomatoes.
Gumbo file seasoning is added at the end of the recipe for gumbo. Gumbo begins with what is known as a roux, which is equal parts flour and oil or butter slow-cooked over low heat. The butter is melted in the pan, and then the flour sprinkled over the butter. Use a whisk to keep the mixture moving and to constantly scrape the bottom of the pan, because it can easily burn. After the roux is at the color you prefer, add rich chicken or seafood stock to it, to create gravy. You can separately cook the meats, seafood and vegetables, then add them to the roux mixture. After it is cooked, take the gumbo off the heat and add in a small amount of gumbo file to flavor and thicken the dish.
Seafood gumbo file is made from the leaf of the sassafras tree. Buy gumbo file today from Starwest Botanicals and rest assured knowing that all of our spices come with a complete satisfaction guarantee.
Ingredients: Pure sassafras leaf powder. SALT FREE!

A few years back when I was the Sergeant Major of an Infantry Battalion preparing for a long camp out in Iraq, they (the man) sent a group of us Sergeants Major to a class where we were briefed that among other things this war would be a way for us to tell the Army Story. I thought to myself that the Army at the time was 228 years old, every one knew the Army story. You know… crossing the Delaware, Gettysburg, D-Day all that. But what the Public Affairs guy was getting at was the Army as it is known to the public.
Now I am sure that John Q Public knows that the Army goes out and fights the wars the Congress gets them into, and it does humanitarian aid, fights floods, Guards the Tomb of the Unknown, and that stuff. They know that young men and women get college money and opportunities for fun, travel and adventure… but do they know the soldiers, the values, and the leadership? That is the Army story.. the people that make up the Army.
I got it. And we did in fact have the opportunity over the course of our stay in south central Baghdad to tell our story. In our Soldiers and the remarkable things they did for the village of Hilla and the out lying farms. In the Values that our Soldiers lived, in general, in our people… the people that we send to do our Nations bidding.
We are on the eve of a marvelous event in our history. The 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America. As we have crossed the threshold of Centenary of the Scouting and are in the home stretch to what is being billed as the biggest and best ever Jamboree and Centennial Celebration.
It is a great time to tell Scouting's story. Over 38,000 Scouts and leaders from 158 countries attended the 21st world Jamboree in England. Now that is not a remarkable number, but think about it. Compare that number to arguably the largest Olympic event in Beijing, soccer only drew 43,883. And the Scouts and Scouters that attended the World Jamboree in England arrived and stayed.. camped for the entire trip.
Oh and 50,000 folks attended the World Jamboree on day visits. That is a lot of people that are active in Scouting and chose to participate in this celebration.
It is anticipated that well over 43,000 Scouts will be in attendance at our National Jamboree in 2010. 43,000 Scouts! In one place… for one event… for Scouts!
This is part of our story. The sheer numbers let you know that Scouting is alive and well.
But we need to tell the story. We do not want those that really do not understand the Scouting movement telling the story. They might come to it with a bias, or a preconceived notion of Scouting. They will not understand the values that we live, the game of Scouting that we play, the methods used and the goals we are trying to achieve.
They may think Scouting is exclusive.. and to a certain extent we are.. we want people that want to have faith, values, and sense of adventure.
We want Adults that are safe and provide the very best for our Scouts.
We only accept the very best from them, because a boys future depends on it. So if we exclude, it is probably for the right reasons, but we give everyone an opportunity, they just need to follow our rules… it's really just that simple.
But our story needs to be told. Told in the positive things that Scouting does in the communities that we live in. In the individual Scouts that demonstrate their willingness to put others before themselves. In the selfless acts of Scouts that become heroes, even if it is as small as helping a cat out of a tree or carrying a few bags of groceries for a lady with small kids.
These things happen every day. Our Scouts seize opportunities daily to live the Scout Oath and Law. This is our story.
Bloggers, podcasters, and webmaster should tell the Scouting Story in a positive light. Demonstrating their zeal for the program and what it offers our Scouts, our Community, our Country, and World.
We should go out of our way to show the great things that are happening in our units and seek positive reporting.
It is our story to tell.. lets tell it how we want it to be read.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Comment Poor teenagers (Score 1) 468
Honestly, I hope they find some better way for teens (or anyone, really) to send small bits of text to others with mobile devices in the near future. Text messaging with tiny numberpads/keyboards is a royal pain in the ass. I know that people like the portability of smart phones and the like, but at the same time, I really do feel privileged to have stuck by my desktop for as long as I have given the comparative robustness of communications options it has offered over the years.
I'm thinking we need some kind of stripped-down EEG device for mobile phones, because it's obvious that increasing the size of the interface/keypad isn't going to work out terribly well (unless they use something like a virtual keyboard that projects onto common surfaces and uses a scanner/camera to record keystrokes).

Madison to plow residential streets
City won't bring in private contractors
MADISON, Wis. - The Madison Streets Division said it will start plowing all residential streets after 3 p.m. Monday using only city of Madison vehicles and staff.
Streets Superintendent Chris Kelley said city crews have been working on salt routes since the snow began to fall Monday morning and will continue on the salt routes until the snowfall stops.
He said the city anticipates having up to 80 pieces of equipment working on the residential streets overnight.
Kelley said the city won't bring in private contractors for this storm. He said it will take the city longer than usual as it will be doing the work internally, but he anticipates having almost all residential streets plowed in time for the Tuesday morning rush hour.
A winter weather advisory is in effect until 1 a.m. Tuesday for Vernon, Juneau, Adams, Crawford, Richland and Grant counties.
WISC-TV meteorologist Karin Swanson said 1-4 inches of accumulation is possible Monday, with the heaviest snow north of Madison.
Skies are expected to clear during the day on Tuesday. Temperatures will remain cold and climb into the lower 30s on Friday.
Spring begins Wednesday at 6:02 a.m., but it will be very cold that day with high temperatures 20 to 25 degrees below normal.

We had not had a vacation for over 5 years and really needed a great getaway. There was much anxiety that we would get somewhere and it be about half what we expected.
NOT SO WITH SEASIDE BEACH RESORT!!! We could not have had a better experience. The staff was more than accommodating and the facility was immaculate! Oh, and did I mention the view we woke to every morning? To die for!!! We cannot recommend this resort enough. We will be back time and time again.

Absolutely perfect!
Carmela and his family were very kind.
The room with separate bathroom and shower was very nice, clean and lockable.
The location in the center was ideal.
Thank you.
Carmela's room with private bathroom combines the best of two worlds. Privacy when desired and a local family to live and chat with which offers insight in what to see and where to go. I was very warmly welcomed and enyojed staying in a house in the old centre with walking distance to all major sights and restaurants. The room and bathroom were both very clean and comfortable. If you like to get in contact with people that live where you travel this is the place to go in Bologna.
We had a most enjoyable stay with Carmela and her family.
They were very friendly and helpful . The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bathroom and shower also very good. The location of the house is excellent , only a few minutes walk from the centre. Restaurants for coffee and dinner were around the corner. It was a great pleasure to stay there and we can recommend the place wholeheartedly. Hope to come again .Noor and Feije Jaski
We have booked Carmela Comfy Room in Bologna to stay as a business visitors on the Cersaie Fairs (Fiera). Carmela and Leonardo Riccardo are very friendly and helpful. The room is very spacy, tidy and quiet with a separete shower room and fully equipped bathroom with bath-tub. The room is very good located - within the walking distance from "Piazza Maggiore" and "Due Torri". There are many nice Trattorias just at the door! "Bologna Fiera" is easy to access by bus or taxi (no problem to catch a taxi even on busy days because of the good location). We strongly recommend this place for business stay as well!
We were warmly welcomed by Carmelia, her daughter and husband in their beautiful, stylishly decorated home.
An excellent and comfortable place to stay on walking distance of the centre of the beautiful and atmosferic city of Bologna.
We had a lovely few days in Bologna. Carmela and her family were very welcoming, warm and helpful. The apartment was quiet and our room was spacious and comfortable. We could not have asked for more. Many thanks, John & Miriam Breslin, Ireland
Brava Carmela, un Host da 5 stelle. La camera senza chiave è perfetta e Carmela è davvero molto disponibile per ogni necessità.
Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo soggiornato a Bologna per due giorni, e la camera di Carmela -gentilissima e discreta- è stata una scelta più che azzeccata; pulita, grande e accogliente (e quanti bei libri!!). 5 stelle :-)
Il nostro soggiorno da Carmela e stato perfetto. Accolienza gentilissima, camera ottima con bagno e casa situata a 10min dal centro! Non poteva essere meglio di cosi! A raccomandare assolutamente! Grazie Carmela!

Small Basic
While there are many languages that contain these same elements, one of the things that make a language a good starter language is the introduction. Small Basic has a great getting started guide that will walk you through your first "Hello World" and then help you understand what is going on. From there variables, conditional statements, and loops follow. Once some of the basics are down, graphics come in and you will gain an understanding of windows, managing colors, and drawing shapes.
The next chapter in the tutorial is on Logo. If you haven't heard of Logo, it was a language that was invented in the 70's and later had a turtle added and turned into many peoples first programming language. The turtle has a few basic commands including movement commands for going forwards, backwards, and to the sides. The Logo turtle is used in this chapter to understand objects and is used to bring many of the skills from the first few chapters together. This chapter is also an opportunity to try to do some fun things with what we've learned thus far.
The final chapters focus on subroutines, events, and tying everything together to build our first whole application, a basic paint program. The tutorial is cut short here with a "(Pending completion)" note, but the appendices have some additional goodies. Appendix A has a bunch of small sample programs to try out and modify. Some of these include creation of a game and a fractal program. Appendix B has a listing of colors that you might like to use along the way. This is a handy reference regardless if you are a seasoned programmer or not.
By the end of this tutorial, you won't be an expert programmer, but you should have an understanding of the constructs enough to have an idea of what programming languages can do. Once you've gotten a little bit under your belt, you're ready to pick up "Hello World" in something like Python, Perl, Javascript, or Visual Basic and getting started with something with more features.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi everyone,
Although I have read the posts on this forum for a couple of years now, this is the first time I've posted here. I have met many of you on other forums, and it will be nice to be back in touch with you and meet others as well. I agree with most of you about your comments on sunglasses, but I'd like to also throw out looking at Steve Haber's new sunglass company, he's the former owner of Bolle. I've tried them for almost a year now and love them, they certainly beat out my Costas, and for the price...it's really tough to beat. Anyway, just my $0.02. I look forward to corresponding with everyone, this seems to be another great forum!
I've spent the last several years moonlighting as a flats guide and have developed some opinions, for what they are worth, on this topic as well.
First of all, we have a serious crew on this site and the insights (pun intended) above are of a high caliber and worth listening to.
I agree that the new high contrast copper-tone (I forget the marketing names) are pretty close to ideal for all-around use because they work better in lower light as well as bright light and can help you detect shadow, profile and movement.
However we have all experienced those days when the sun angle hides the shadow, the light angle obfuscates the contrasts of it's already subtle profile.
One of the things I admire most about bones, stripers and the like are the way they can glide over a flat as if they are an apparition - a spooky ghost-like float giving only a tiny scrap of visual feedback to all but the most experienced eye.
At these times I find color to be the primary trigger in detecting fish on the flats and that's when premium quality gray lenses come into their own. I prefer the Maui Jim titanium gray lenses but I am sure there are others.
Mine are several years old and because I take good care of them are virtually scratch-free still. Maui will replace the lenses for a very good price BTW.
My everyday glasses are the new high contrast Maui coppers (again I forget the fancy name) in the 'sport' model which is half the price. These are in need of new lenses after three years of HARD service in 4 seasons of use as driving, fishing and all-purpose glasses.
One tip - put your shades on a neck loop, they will last forever unless you have them off the eyes and you lean onto a gunwhale to land a fish (crunch).
Sketchy, man, sketchy...
First off, good responses all round. Main thing I'd say is forget grey or greenish lenses for flats fishing. Period. I've proved time and again that they simply don't work as well as other lens colors. Clients that have the grey lense try their buddy's amber or copper lenses and can't believe the difference.
Personally, I've never owned a pair of real fishing glass, like Costas, Smith, or Ocean Waves. Certainly no Maui Jims (who can afford them?). I fished a pair of "vermillion" tinted Oakley 5's for a few years (until a small, leaky vial of 99% deet ate them alive). Most recently I use a pair of surfers sunglasses by the name of Arnette I picked up in Hawaii. The lens color is probably best decribed as copper or bronze and is a little browner than you'd expect. I fish lots of turtle grass flats and find they work great for highlighting fish. The design is wrap-around and they're unbelievably lightweight. Of course, all the drawbacks of polycarbonate lenses apply: easily scratched, deteriorate/fade in sunlight, etc.
Now, let me say, I've tried on several nice sunglasses over the years, including a pair of pinkish lensed Smiths that were sooo amazingly clear. The difference in clarity that glass lenses offer is certainly worth it.
So, here are some tips for cleaning glasses on the water. First, get one of those micro-fiber clothes. (Wal-Mart for a couple bucks). Second, buy some of that spray cleaner stuff. If you don't have any dump some water over your lenses or dip them in the water settling in the cooler.
If worse comes to worse - you're far from the skiff, just drank the last swallow of water and bones are still tailing, dammit, but that last fish splashed your glasses and now you can't see - lick your lenses. Yes, I said lick. That will remove the salt and wet them enough to wipe clean. If you're good enough (I learned this from an old fisherman here) you can lick 'em clean and hold the lenses into the wind and they'll actually dry almost perfectly clear. Nice trick in a pinch... say you're wading way the hell down the beach with nothing but a flyrod, pair of shorts, and a hat with a few flies stuck in the sides.
Lastly, whether you use plastic or glass, always wash and clean your glasses at the end of every day. Salt eats almost everything, so the less time you let it sit on your glasses, the better.
|I will add one more thing. Fishing in fresh water you can use the CR39 & other polycrbonate lense sunglasses. The lenses are light & generally very comfortable. However, in fishing the salt I would use shades w/ glass lenses. You'll always get spray on your glasses & when the saltwater dries, you'll have microscopic salt crystals on the lenses & invariably you will clean them with a cloth or tissue while fishing and thus putting micro scratches on the lens. Eventually, your glasses will appear "hazy" and your visual acuity will suffer. This is going to happen even with the newer scratch resistent coatings. JMO
I am in favor of the amber/copper/bronze spectrum of lenses for sight fishing. As others have noted a good wrap design cuts out glare from the back and will also protect you from the wind. The AO copper tint is a good one but you might also want to check out the Maui Jim HCL Bronze.
Obviously: spotting fish has a lot more to do with the person wearing the shades than the lenses themselves. We had a guide in S. Andros who didn't wear shades at all and saw fish just fine (even over grass).
|Geordie Shanks
AO is the way to go
I used to manage a fly fishing shop in the late 1990's-early 2000's and actually won an Action Optics vendor trip to Turneffe Flats in Belize from Action Optics in 2000. The manager of AO took me there and he had a duffel bag loaded with glasses, and we spent a good part of the trip (unfortunately) trying on different types of glasses with differing lens colors under all situations. Would have rather have fished, but it was on AO dime, so what was I to do. THe unanimous choice for all of us (me, the AO guy and Pops, our guide) for best all around color was the amber color. They call it amber, but it is the yellow color and I absolutely love it on the flats. When I went to Exuma last year, I "loaned" my AO otis amber glasses to my guide for the week and damn near had to fight him to get them back at the end of the trip-yeah, should have tipped him the glasses, but I love them. Particularly for light colored flats, the amber/yellow is phenomenal for silhouetting the fish and seeing shadows a little better. They do tend to "blue out" just a little bit in bright light, where the direct reflection off the waves of the water will flash blue, but you get used to it and it is still a fantastic color. Remember what its all about.
|I am using Serengetti Stratas, new version with polycarbonate (or similar material)lenses. They are amazing. Light, clear, polarizing, photochromatic etc. Also, the new design fits close to you face, actually hugs your eye orbit so side glare is not an issue and they are great in the wind. I use them salmon fishing here in Nova Scotia and they are fantastic. I can see Bahamas bones from here
Like Juro said, everybody's eyes are different, but in general, here's some good info I borrowed from another website:
� Gray or green-tinted: Offer the least amount of color distortion; good for all-purpose use and clear days.
� Amber and orange: Block blue light, offering a brighter view on cloudy, hazy, or foggy days.
� Gold and yellow: Add contrast; best in flat and dim-light situations.
� Brown: Best for enhancing depth perception.
� Rose: Has the highest contrast and best low-light image resolution.
� Mirrored: Reduces the amount of light that reaches the eyes; good at high altitudes.
� Gradient: Shaded from top to bottom. (A double-gradient lens is dark at the top and bottom, and lighter in the middle.) Driving glasses are often gradated so that you can see the dashboard clearly.
� Photochromic: Automatically darkens and lightens as light conditions change. Photochromic (transitional) lenses won't get very dark, and take some time to adjust to changes in light. Heat also hinders the photochromic (transitional) lenses from getting dark.
Tip: Darker doesn't necessarily mean better. The darker the lenses, the more visible light they block. Brighter conditions demand darker lenses. It's important to keep in mind where you'll be wearing them most. Sunglasses designed for mountain climbing, for example, generally have lenses too dark for everyday wear.
as I originate my watersports in the wavesurfing and bodyboarding scene I got to know a brand called "black fly", a very nice name, also for the flyfisherman.
They work perfect, are not to expensive and look a little modern.
It´s "my way or the fly way", and it´s "me, myself and fly"....
Everyone's eyes are different but for my retinas high quality grey lenses provide the best color fidelity while the ambers are known to enhance contrast.
I can't see taillights when I wear amber so to keep my insurance down I wear grey or copper lenses most of the time.
I found that the grey gives me color differentiation which sometimes is the only thing that clues me in (other than motion) where the copper are better during low light and when contrast are key.
Successful sight fishing is much more than just eyes. Seeing is just the tip of the iceberg so don't leave out the mountain of logic, luck and spidey sense that brings you to stake out a spot with conviction.
|I really appreciate all of the responses! Quick question, I've got a pair of Orvis HVO wraps amber lens that I wear while fishing freshwater streams and rivers in the Northeast. It seems to me that amber/copper is the recommended lens color, so would these work well enough?
|Ocean Waves ; Boston w/ Backwater Green lenses. MSRP = $170; can find on net for ~ $130.
|Fishbones are a wraparound design. They have lenses cut into the side of the frames. Very good at keeping out wind and glare.

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] Quick, Illegal, and WrongDecember 10th, 2012 by Benj Edwards
27 years ago, the industry group Association of Data Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO) created this public service ad warning of the evils of software piracy. I've transcribed its text below — just so you don't miss it.
It's easy to make a copy.
It's quick.
It's illegal.
It's wrong.
It's hard to believe.
People who wouldn't think of shoplifting a software product on their lunch hour don't think twice about going back to the office and making several illegal copies of the same software.
Making unauthorized copies of software is a violation of U.S. Copyright Law. Yet, the problem has reached epidemic proportions because many people are unaware, or simply choose to ignore the law. The software industry is urging decision-makers and software users to take steps to stop software piracy in their organizations. In the meantime, the industry has been forced to prosecute willful copyright violators.
There are legal, moral and economic imperatives forbidding theft of copyrighted software.
There is a free pamphlet on the subject. Call or write for a copy. A copy. A copy. A copy for everyone you know.
Please ask for Priscilla.
1300 North Seventeenth Street
Arlington, Virginia 22209
(703) 522-5055
"A copy. A copy. A copy. A copy."
It really says that. I think it's supposed to be a joke, albeit a very bad one.
ADAPSO changed its name to Information Technology Association Of America (ITAA) in 1991, although its supposedly current website is now owned by the International Trial Attorneys Association, so who knows if it even exists today.

It just dawned on me that we're in the last month of the year and nothing new is on the horizon, the final TVC wave has shipped to customers, there's no expectation of Clone Wars or Legacy Collection 2 to look for late-year releases on, the 2012 Star Wars line is essentially done... and looking back through the year, there's almost nothing exciting from it.
Let me explain what I mean: removing the issue of distribution entirely, there were very few figures released in the January to December 2012 period compared to other recent years, and of those while many were dutiful and didn't fail, very few were actually above and beyond the quality expected.
It's as if the line was just treading water, there weren't significant articulation coups, weren't many paint/deco jobs went above the bare minimum to get by, weren't figures with an overabundance of accessories included, that sort of thing.
In short, there weren't many "wow" figures.
Perhaps that is due to the stagnant nature of the line, or the higher expectations with the price hitting $10 a figure, but when looking at the figures from the last year, there are a lot more "oh yeah, that one was nice" figures than truly exceptional and thus memorable ones. There's also been a lot of missteps this year: missed paint opportunities, missing or sub-standard accessories, wonky soft-goods, questionable articulation choices. Sometimes those issues were major, but more often they were minor and just led a figure to being "ok, fine, good" instead of "great, impressive, totally worth ten bucks" territory.
Here's the list of figures I came up with as 2012 standouts, and it took real mental muscle just to get to these.
- Darth Malgus
- Starkiller
- ANH Vader
- Shae Vizla
- Biker Scout (from the Speeder Bike set)
- Sith Witch (the Sith Witch sculpt was released in the Clone Wars line as a generic Nightsister in a Target 3-pack)
- Battle Droid
And of those, only Malgus and Starkiller feel enough like real wins to break out, the rest I can't yet foresee giving them the top honor. Malgus has the sculpting, intricate detail, quality paint, and soft goods to make a run; while Starkiller has an accurate sculpt, decent articulation, and great accessories to push back. Yet there are X-factors in the rest that could potentially sway my opinion - Shae for example has a lot of intricate sculpting and paint, yet she's held back by a few little things like her tiny waist and preposed torso.
I guess my frustration is as much about the limited nature of what we got: 6 waves of figures we actually saw from TVC, the Discover the Force wave at WM, a few odds and ends entries in Movie Heroes, and essentially no Clone Wars. It was not much, it was nearly all hard to find except the TPM wave, it came with a price increase and a light quality decrease, and just a feeling of a lack of inspiration for anything other than TPM's re-release.
What do you guys think, are you going to have an easy time pointing to a handful of figures and saying "I really liked these and think they represent the best of what Hasbro Star Wars has to offer to fans overall", or like me are you going to feel stymied?

With a chock-full of bright vegetables, bacon, fish and beans, this homemade soup has all the right stuff.
Why it Works: Flavorful Fish
The culinary world is full of references to using fish in small amounts as a flavor enhancer. In Asia, as well as in ancient Greece and Rome, small fish are steeped in salt water to make a sauce (nam pla in Thailand, nuoc mam in Vietnam and garum in ancient Rome) used in hundreds of dishes. In the Mediterranean, anchovies are the fish of choice. To most Americans, anchovies are the overly fishy and salty pieces sometimes found on a pizza. However, these do not adequately represent the flavor of true anchovies. High-quality anchovies should smell like the sea, not like rotten fish. To experience the best, buy anchovies packed in salt. Rinse them well under water and, if you like, insert your thumb through the center to remove their small bone. Chopped finely, they add a great depth of flavor to many dishes.

Shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) closed down ₩12,000, or 0.9%, at ₩1,303,000, after the company reported Friday morning, Seoul time, Q2 revenue and operating profit slightly above what the company forecast on July 5th, but missed Street estimates for net income. That report was followed by market research data from Strategy Analytics and IDC that showed Samsung maintaining top share in smartphone sales in Q2, selling about a third of the industry's units, even as Apple's (AAPL) share declined.
I should note that Samsung's report followed a worse-than-expected Q1 report yesterday afternoon by chip maker Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), which is a prominent supplier to Samsung for its smartphones.
Shares of Maxim have recovered this morning from the after-market selloff yesterday, rising 81 cents, or 3%, to $28.23.
But the Maxim report confirmed for many on the Street that sales of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 came in lower than originally expected when it was introduced in March. Some suggest Samsung's own forecasts for its mobile devices business are not always to be relied upon. As MKM Partners's Ada Menaker wrote this morning in reiterating a Neutral rating on Maxim shares:
It is apparent to us that Samsung's estimates for sales of the previous-generation Galaxy S3 and the flagship Galaxy S4 were overly optimistic – when sales failed to materialize, the inventory correction set off a chain reaction through its suppliers. Commentary from other semi names exposed to Samsung suggests that Samsung's estimates will likely be taken with a grain of salt going forward, as companies rely on third-party assessments of the business when building inventory for shipment to Samsung; this may cause problems for the supply chain going forward, but a degree of caution doesn't seem unwarranted after the disarray we saw in Q2.
The Street this morning is digging into the implications of the report for Samsung but also for the industry.
Bernstein Research's Mark Newman this morning reiterates an Outperform rating and a ₩1,315,000 price target, writes "We expect earnings growth to continue into 2H'13 driven mainly by semiconductors, but also strong seasonality across other divisions. Samsung is poised for significant profit growth this year in each of its businesses."
Samsung's smartphone portfolio is shifting to lower-priced models despite success of the Galaxy S4, he writes, but it shouldn't harm the company's operating profit for the mobile division, he thinks:
We estimate Samsung sold 75M smartphones in Q2'13 (7% growth QoQ). We believe Samsung sold 20M Galaxy S4, 7M Galaxy S3 units and 5M Galaxy Note 2 units in Q2'13. Looking into Q3'13, we now expect Samsung to achieve mid to high single digit growth in smartphone units. With the smartphone unit mix becoming more mid-end and low-end, we now expect smartphone ASP to be down mid to high single digits in Q3'13 […] We believe the IT & Mobile operating profit achieved in Q2'13 is sustainable with some upside potential. Samsung's smartphone product offering is very diversified across price tiers and within the high-end segment. Given that high-end smartphones generate the majority of smartphone operating profits, we believe Samsung will not suffer from significant operating margin dilution in the IT & Mobile division.
And Newman thinks return of cash to shareholders may become an increasing focus of investors:
On the call, Samsung acknowledged that shareholder return is being reviewed even though the interim dividend announced (only KRW 500/share) is similar to Q2'12. We believe cash return to shareholders will become an increasing topic of discussion for Samsung in the next quarters.
BMO Capital's Tim Long and Ambresh Srivastava collaborate to reiterate an Outperform rating on Samsung and a ₩1,800,000 price target, writing that there were "no surprises" in the report.
"The Mobile segment was roughly in line," they write.
"Although ripple effects from inventory correction have been felt broad and deep in the semi world, we believe the Galaxy S4 was okay in the quarter, even if lower than some thought to start the quarter."
The duo think the Street is "too pessimistic" about Samsung's smartphone business. They think there will be "slight growth in units" this quarter while prices may decline.
"We continue to see Samsung performing well in the component segment."
Sterne Agee chip analyst Vijay Rakesh writes that the company's comments about its intention for production of DRAM and NAND flash memory chips are positive for the industry as a whole, given that it means capacity won't be increased:
Samsung also noting in DRAM they will Focus only on Process Migration and no new Fabs. In NAND, Samsung focusing on 20nm/10nm NAND shrinks with 3D-NAND for 2H14 […] Samsung saying focusing on 20nm/10nm NAND shrinks. Samsung continues to work on 3D-NAND with production expected in 2H14. We believe given some of the Cost vs 20nm/10nm Planar NAND, Defect control, compatibility, 3D-NAND will be less incremental to NAND supply in 2014 […] With most of the Memory Major Reporting, we should note that Most of the Capex Commentary Continues to Revolve Around NAND-DRAM Process Migration and Shrinks – and little commentary on Adding a New Production Line or Fab – which represents a shift in Industry Thinking to more ROI Focus even as Memory Margins have rebounded. We should also note that the Shrinks to 15nm/10nm in NAND and 20nm in DRAM carry higher Capex Intensity than the shrinks to 24nm NAND or 40/30nm DRAM.
And Wedbush Securities chip analyst Betsy Van Hees also sees positive implications for the memory chip market, writing that "Samsung was upbeat on continued profitability for memory products, with the company expecting a stable memory supply/demand environment looking forward."
She sees Samsung being "mindful" of supply and demand in its capacity additions:
Samsung noted that its total capital spending for 2013 will be 24 trillion won with plans to spend 13 trillion won for memory. Samsung indicated that a large part of its memory capacity plans will be for process technology transitions with plans to sample 3D NAND at the end of 2013 unchanged. While capacity expansion plans were on track, Samsung noted that it will be very mindful of market conditions. Samsung believes that pricing trends for DRAM and NAND are a matter of supply and demand and for now the company sees demand as solid and supply limited.
And Van Hees sees positive implications for the shares of Micron Technoloy (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK), both of whose stocks she rates Outperform:
We are incrementally more confident that the memory trade is not over following (1) SanDisk's blowout Q2 earnings report and better-than-expected Q3 outlook on July 17th, (2) our upbeat group investor meeting with Micron on Monday, (3) LSI's commentary on its Q2 earnings call on Wednesday that NAND supply is tight, and (4) Samsung's favorable view of the memory market supply/demand dynamics into the 2H. With several near-term positive catalysts ahead for Micron and SanDisk, we continue to see risk/reward as favorable and recommend investors take advantage of pull-backs to add to positions.

How is everyone doing this friday?
I've had the HD800 for a few weeks now and long story short, I'm loving the sound.
In only a few months, I've owned the Grado SR80i followed by Sennheiser HD650, then Hifiman HE-500, then Ultrasone Edition 8 and finally Senneheiser HD800. Out of those I've only kept the Hifimans and the HD800.
Basically, I'm wondering if the HD800 are as good as headphone get for the moment.
I've read quite a lot on this site and clearly there are some headphones that people think are better than the HD800, but really not by much. (LCD-3, Stax SR-009, for example) And still, it's a lot about preferences.
So, will we have to wait a few years for new technologies to come before manufacturers make headphones that are clearly a step above the HD800 technically?

racial background selection in member profile
A person can have more than one racial background and should be able to choose all that apply to them. The slightly confusing part here is that the last option "Do not wish to reveal" can be selected when the others are checked. If you save, the system will not save any of the other choices if "Do not wish to reveal" is checked.
I dont know really how you would improve upon this, unless you were to just unselect all the other checkboxes when "do not reveal" is selected

What a whirlwind I've been living in. Last week was spring break for the local HS' and my gf's college. On top of tons of Jabber work the gf was extremely demanding in my time. Then I had a few meetings with some lawyers. They keep pressuring me to finish their HUGE project sooner than scheduled. No chance of that happening, I hated the entire project and started a rewrite of it tonight. Networked the lawyers office the other night, and today they called to complain about network slow downs on their file shares. Guess I'll have to go check that out tomorrow.
Jabber News
Well I redid the entire Jabber build system twice. Finally I found a system that I think works nicely. It uses sed to process the type and how to compile a module from a file. It also stores your settings for later use. I'm currently happy with it, but I have a few bad reports on Solaris 2.7, maybe I can get access to a machine with that on it tomorrow. On the future front, I've begun work on cleaning out aim-t. Hopefully that nasty random race condition gets hit out of the cob webs in the process. I also began a stock ticker, and news transport (going to borrow some of TCharrons code for this one). I'm doing them in Python so I can force myself to learn the language, so far the language it is quite cool. WOW! Just started talking with a guy on AIM about adding a Skytel Pager gateway and then client to Jabber. That would be amazing. It was going to happen eventually, but sooner is always better. On another front I'll be heading to Denver, CO for Thur and Fri. We're having a little summit up there, should be fun. I could have sworn I had something else on the Jabber front. Oh well. Signing off.

New Media Basics
What is Using New Media?
We define "new media" as interactive forms of communication that use the Internet, including podcasts, RSS feeds, social networks, text messaging, blogs, wikis, virtual worlds and more!
New media makes it possible for anyone to create, modify, and share content and share it with others, using relatively simple tools that are often free or inexpensive. New media requires a computer or mobile device with Internet access.
New media tools can help you:
- CONNECT people with information and services. This includes connecting individuals with healthcare providers and people living with HIV with one another. New media can also connect the families, friends, and caregivers of people living with HIV ands AIDS to resources for their loved ones and themselves.
- COLLABORATE with other people—including those within your organization or community.
- CREATE new content, services, communities, and channels of communication that help you deliver information and services.
What do the Federal government, state and local health departments, AIDS service organizations, and individuals looking for information on HIV and AIDS have in common? They are all using new media tools to connect, collaborate, and create around HIV information and resources.
For examples of people using new media tools to respond to HIV, visit the AIDS.gov blog.
Who is Using New Media?
People of all ages and backgrounds are online and using new media tools for a variety of reasons such as searching for information and connecting with others.
We know that the many adults and teens in the U.S. use the Internet and many look for health information online. The Pew Internet & American Life Project produces information about who is using the Internet and various new media tools. In addition, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a series of eHealth Data Briefs which contain recent data highlights and demographic breakdowns for several new media channels.
What about the "Digital Divide"?
There are several things we need to look at when considering who is online. While more Whites are online and using new media tools than Blacks, the gap has been decreasing over the past several years. There is a divide in Internet and new media use between Spanish-dominant Hispanic adults and other population groups in the U.S. The data is constantly changing – and there isn't data available for all racial and ethnic groups – but the data from our colleagues at Pew Internet & American Life Project and others show an increase in use among all groups.
Within the HIV community we know that more and more of our colleagues across the country (and around the world) are using new media tools to engage with their peers, clients, and supporters. For example, colleagues in San Francisco are using text messaging to answer health questions and link teens to local clinics . In Chicago and DC, our colleagues are using texting for HIV medication and appointment reminders. Our colleagues in Atlanta are providing people with electronic cards (ecards) to encourage HIV testing and other healthy behaviors.
Why New Media and HIV?
We know that people are online and looking for health information. New media provides us with opportunities to bring HIV information to our colleagues and clients, and reach our audiences in new ways. These tools can help us connect, create, and collaborate in response to HIV.
We launched AIDS.gov to help health departments, AIDS service organizations, people at-risk for HIV, and others easily find information on Federal domestic HIV programs, policies, and resources. Since then, more and more of our colleagues have become interested in how to use new media to disseminate HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and research information, and to engage with their audiences and each other.
To respond to this interest in new media information, we host the AIDS.gov blog to share examples and lessons learned from the field. We hope you'll join the conversation there!
As with any communications tool, we encourage you to integrate your new media efforts into your overall planning.
Where can I learn more?

Meet Mick Clouse, 16, Chad Blashford, 15, and Evan West, 17, of the Ohio-based band New Hollow. The boys are relatively new to the music scene, but you wouldn't know it. Their first three singles, "Sick," "Boyfriend" and "Airplanes" (a cover of the B.o.B./Hayley Williams song), all climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Physical CD Singles Sales Chart. That's quite an accomplishment for an unsigned band with no radio play.
The teen rockers visited the TIME For Kids offices in New York City this summer to chat about their musical beginnings, the inspiration behind their chart-topping songs and their steady rise to fame. For fans who are itching for a full-length New Hollow album: The wait will soon be over. They're recording one right now. This fall, New Hollowers will also get a chance to see the band live on tour. Until then, get to know Mick, Evan and Chad through the video below.

About 250 middle school students from the Los Angeles area participated in the kickoff festivities of Summer of Innovation on June 10, 2010. The Summer of Innovation program will engage thousands of middle school students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) during the summer months when many students experience what's known as the "summer slide." The kickoff at JPL included an opportunity to interact with astronauts, NASA scientists and engineers, participate in several hands-on educational activities; and a visit to the facility where the next Mars rover is being built.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Even though I did not like the first generation Whiting Spey Hackle necks. I must admit the new generation is not too bad. They are quite an improvement over last year's crop. It looks like those who had posted last fall that Whiting was 2 to 3 years away from producing a very good spey neck were correct. I find myself waiting to see what next year's spey neck birds provide for us.
If the improvement is equal to this year's over last year's, I think we will have a ver reasonably priced product for quality spey hackle instead of paying too much for the limited number of blue and white eared pheasant skins or even worse, the extremely over-priced 10 feather packs of blue or white eared pheasant.

Whiting rooster spey hackles
At my local fly shop today, the proprietor was setting out a selection of the brand-new (to me, at any rate) Whiting spey rooster necks. Far from slipping the word "spey" onto an existing product, Whiting has bred a new line to fill our heronless need. The bowie knife clenched in the proprietor's teeth dissuaded me from plucking a test feather or two, but fanning the neck showed a dense assortment of thin-stemmed, long-barbule feathers, apparently quite suitable for small to medium spey flies. These necks were in purple, grey, black, orange, and a sort of pale peach, with more colors promised. They're $30.:hehe:

- Soup:
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 4 large plum tomatoes
- 1 small white onion, or a 1-inch-thick slice of a large white onion, peeled
- 1 medium dried New Mexico chile, stemmed, seeded and torn into large pieces
- 2 corn tortillas, torn into 1-inch pieces
- 6 cups chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Tortilla Strips:
- Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
- 6 corn tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- Garnishes:
- Mexican sour cream or regular sour cream
- 2 avocados, peeled and diced into 1/2- inch cubes or slices
- Queso fresco or mild feta, crumbled
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
For the soup: Heat a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook the garlic, tomatoes, onion and New Mexico chile in the pan. Using tongs, turn the vegetables occasionally during cooking to ensure charring on all sides. Remove the vegetables once slightly blackened on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the peel from the garlic. Add the charred vegetables to the blender with the tortilla pieces and 2 cups chicken broth. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and add the remaining 4 cups chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
For the tortilla strips: In a medium, heavy skillet, pour enough oil to reach a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the tortilla strips in batches and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
To serve: Ladle the soup into 6 individual serving bowls. Serve with sour cream, avocados, cheese, tortilla strips, cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
From Food Network Kitchens; after further testing and to ensure the best results this recipe has been altered from what was in the actual episode.
Blending Hot Liquids: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid; that prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times, then process on high speed until smooth.
The blended corn tortillas act as thickeners. This soup should not be as thick as a cream soup, but should have some body.

Council approves Sherman Ave. proposal
Businesses concerned about plan
MADISON, Wis. - The Madison Common Council voted Tuesday night to approve big changes for a major Madison thoroughfare, despite some opposition from area businesses.
Out of 20 votes, 18 council members approved the plan to go forward with changes to Sherman Avenue that would include taking the road from four car lanes to five lanes overall. Two people were absent from the vote.
"It will be a bike lane on each side, a car lane on each side, and then a center turn lane. And at some intersections, we'll be adding some key pedestrian islands, so it will be safer to cross the street," said Alderwoman Satya Rhodes-Conway, who represents Madison's District 12.
Construction on the project is likely to start this summer.
Tuesday's snowfall gave residents a preview of what Sherman Avenue would feel like with just one lane each direction. Nearby business owners said they're fine with the seasonal inconvenience, but a permanent change may be too much to handle.
Steve Nelson is the owner of DuWayne's Salon, which has been located on Sherman Avenue for 50 years.
"(About) 17,000 vehicles go down Sherman Avenue a day," Nelson said. "If you've got that many cars on two lanes, how is somebody going to be able to get across the street?"
Nelson said he worries the changes would divert vehicle traffic, taking a cut into his bottom line.
"And if you lose 5 percent of your traffic, that's 850 cars a day that don't go down Sherman Avenue," Nelson said. "You lose 850 cars going by your business. It's tough."
"I have, of course, heard from the businesses in the area," Rhodes-Conway said. "And believe me, if I thought this was going to harm business, there is no way I would be supporting it."19194940
Nelson said he remained doubtful ahead of the council's decision Tuesday.
"It's not safe to ride your bike down Sherman Avenue. If you go down to two lanes, it's still not going to be safe," Nelson said.
Rhodes-Conway's time on the Madison Common Council ends this April. She is not seeking re-election.
The alder said the timing of the proposal is unfortunate but she said her proposal has been discussed over several months.
