'Bemusement', ref. 57:60
Giselle de la Chantelle(see more by this artist)
This digital oil painting, in the Impressionist style, is one of several documenting the different reactions engendered in the course of a conversation.
Interested in a note card or notelet?
What is a notelet? Well, in the case of mine, one takes an A4 sheet of paper, and folds it into quarters. On the front is printed the image offered below for sale, and on the back appears my Giselle logo. The arrangement of notelet images on an A4 sheet of paper is illustrated in the alternative views above.
You are left with one and a half sides of A4 paper, on which to write your message. The reverse side of the A4 sheet is devoid of borders, and entirely blank. Note cards lend themselves to a wide variety of purposes.
Interested in a print?
Before placing any order, please be sure to read my 'Important Note about Colour, Printing etc.' two thirds of the way down my 'Biography' page. If this particular image has not had a run of test prints done, this will be done before selecting the best paper for printing.
The artist will herself choose the paper which, in her view, gives the best results for the image(s) being ordered, unless the client contacts her at the time of ordering, to request a specific paper. In this event, the client's wishes would be respected, but the best result could no longer be guaranteed. In practice, the paper giving the best results is almost always paper (b) [as listed under 'Biography'], with papers (a) and (c) just occasionally giving equally good - or, rarely, better – results. In the event of off-white matte's giving equally good results as off-white semi-gloss, awareness of any preference on the client's part would indeed be valuable to the artist.
If a client would like to communicate his paper preferences to the artist, without going to the trouble of writing a full letter, it will be sufficient to link one of the following codes to the relevant print and email this to the artist at the time of placing his order:
In the "preferred" options, the client is actually leaving the choice to the artist, who will decide which paper, in her opinion, works best; if matte and semi-gloss give equally good results, the client's wishes will be honoured. In the "at all costs" options, NO other considerations may be taken into account: the paper the client wants MUST be provided - regardless of the results achieved.
While giclée prints are not offered as standard, any more than are sizes greater than A4, both giclée and larger prints can be obtained by special order. Occasionally, these will also be 'limited edition'.
As for prints being offered for sale in A4 size, if any of these APPEARS to be other than A4 in size, it will in fact be AS seen, BUT centralized on an A4 sheet of paper. Also, on all prints, any white border NOT visible against the white background on 'Yessy' is always minimal, and placed around the image purely to ensure that none of the image escapes printing.
All prints sold are personally signed by the artist (usually on the back; if a signature is preferred elsewhere, please advise, at the time of ordering.)
In the abbreviations below, 'matt' stands for 'matte' and 'semi-glos.' stands for 'semi-gloss'. The 2-6 digit reference number at the outset relates to the particular print or variant in question – as each image bears a different reference number (which appears beneath the image once it is clicked on).

Taffy from NSW. Australia writes: Why weren't we told that all Outlook.com emails would be stored on Microsoft computers????? My emails were stopped until I logged into Outlook.com. I felt that this was illegal & therefore I contacted my provider who help me change back. It was only then that I received my emails from 4 days prior! Was this Legal?
Taffy, whenever you use any kind of e-mail service, your e-mails are stored on that company's computers (called servers) and you can download copies of those e-mails from those servers to your personal computer using a mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird. Many people prefer to leave their e-mail entirely on those servers (or stored "in the cloud" as it is called) and never download a copy to their computer. That way they can access their mail anytime from anyplace. Or you can also choose to have Outlook.com e-mail forwarded to another e-mail address.
It doesn't sound as if something illegal was going on. It sounds as if either your Outlook.com was not set up to to download messages to the mail client on your computer. You may be one of the many Hotmail users recently migrated to Outlook.com. I'm not sure which e-mail client or version of Windows you're using, so I can't give you more specific instructions on how to set up your e-mail client to receive Outlook.com. Microsoft has video instructions for setting up Outlook to download mail here. [1]
All e-mail providers will store your e-mail on their computers for some length of time. Even if you delete those messages from your online mailbox, it doesn't mean they are really gone. If you're concerned about what this means for your privacy, make sure to look over the privacy policy for your particular provider.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Winless Wonders, Jul 2, 2012.
The Pat Riley route to building a championship team it is the new NBA way.
Anything Joe can offer to get Howard in an extension sign an trade? Howard- $19.3M (assume current level matched, but with increases and 5 year term) Offer: Monroe- $3.2M (2 years + qualifying offer) Knight- $2.8M (3 years + qualifying offer) Drummond- $3.0M (?) (3 years +) Maggette- $10.9M expiring Orlando would get the 3 most promising players on the team with attractive contracts + an expiring Maggette. We're left with: Bynum/ W. Russell Stuckey/ English/ Daye Prince/ Middleton/ Singler Jerebko/ Maxiell/ Villanueva/ Macklin Howard/ Russian guy/ Ben Wallace We'd have everybody dropping off the books very quickly, except for Stuckey and Prince. Perfect to hit the FA market hard in 2014. And there is no reason that Dwight Howard wouldn't love to come to Detroit to be the bedrock while Dumars work his magic.
Next season Howard calls his pal Paul who takes a discount to play in the Palace and suddenly we have the best PG and the best C in the league. That's a classic Joe Dumars.
TaShawn.............Don't think JD would make that trade...........
I'm envisioning Gores doing it and including Dumars and a half eaten bucket of popcorn too.
According to a lot of articles, yes Howard talked to basketball executives and demanded a trade to the Nets, however the Nets were waiting for D. Howard medical records which is recovering from a back surgery, Howard might have a good reason on doing it but it's just cliche that he always do that and he doesn't have a fix decision to handle it on a long term basis.
From my understanding, D. Howard was required to pass the leg on the wall test before he returned to action.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by TheeTFD, Jan 8, 2013.
One of our players took his knee out. He was starting to come on pretty strong.
Good player...always had his head in the clouds, though.
why would you say that ?
Avril is nearing the free agent time of the season. I say let him go and sign Jake Long for the O-Line instead. To replace Avril...we draft a starter......Ziggy Ansah.......
I don't think Ziggy is the answer.
Ziggy is the Ansah...
Ziggy could do the answer. But I think Margus Hunt is the steal of the draft.
Bush rumored to be talking with the Lions. Would love to see them sign him. Albert Breer@AlbertBreer Free-agent RB Reggie Bush is on his way to Detroit to visit w/the Lions. Would be a good fit, playing the role they'd hope Best would fill.
He might do good here. $5M, $8M, $10M..? he might have 2 good years left.
We haven't had a good RB who could catch the ball out of the backfield...since Dexter Bussey............
And we all know, Reggie Bush is no Dexter Bussey
Bush could break a play or 2. I'll take Altie Taylor
Has to be at least $8M plus incentives. The Lions haven't had a talented RB since Barry
Barry put up similar receiving numbers as Bush.
Barry had stoney finger though...........
Reggie Bush joins Lions: 'Winning is the most important thing to me' | Detroit Free Press | freep.com This is awesome. I am so freakin' excited. Get your Super Bowl tickets now. All the Lions need now is a couple of offensive lineman, a cornerback, a kick returner, another wide receiver, a defensive end, and a safety.....okay, don't buy your Super Bowl tickets yet. I'm still excited, though!
Yesterday I read where free agents would fit In the guy hit on Reggie Bush To the Lions. a great signing in my opinion.
I think I'll be in the minority here... but I'm not impressed at all by the signing, never been a fan of his and he's a luxury to have on a great team... a cherry on top of the sundae type of thing.... he can't do the heavy lifting, and we need that in the backfield right now.
Like him cause he's only 4 mil per....for 4 years.
If Bush and Leshoure are both healthy, RB will not be an issue in 2013. In fact, the offense will not be an issue in 2013.

I plan to use finger joints if that makes a difference. If anyone knows the dimensions or where I can fine a plan that would be most helpful.Thanks again Moots.David
I do need to know if the metal inserts are worth the cost or will the fishing line not really hurt the frame?

The Priests (three priests from Northern Ireland — Eugene O'Hagan, his brother Martin O'Hagan and David Delargy) are practicing Roman Catholic priests who were brought together by their faith and passion for music and who grew up singing together while also studying for the priesthood. All in their late forties, they have spent their lives using music to spread the word of God, finding time between their busy jobs to sing together. In an amazing twist of fate, they were asked to record a demo which landed in the lap of Epic Records' Managing Director Nick Raphael, who signed them on the spot, ultimately giving The Priests a worldwide audience to spread their message and music.
KCPT would like to thank these generous sponsors, who made this event possible:

Feminism | Posted by Lizzie M on 10/28/2011
Probably the most common thing I hear regarding my collegiate matriculation selection is one of a pejorative why I would ever, in-the-name-of-sanity, select to attend an all-female institution. Unsurprisingly, I have a lengthy and rather complicated reply that first must unpack the question (like a true Mount Holyoke Woman, assuredly). This answer, as you have no doubt gleaned, is one I am indirectly (but also directly) answering in these five posts illustrating facets to life here that I love.
However. This is, as the Buddhists would say, a question wrongly asked.
To begin: Mount Holyoke may exclusively admit women only, but not all of its students identify according to the gender binary, and some are in the midst of a sex change whilst at MHC. I am not …

P.S. Did you draw that star? Its really good.
Thanks for the comments. I didn't think the neck ring would look right due to the "printable area" constraints. I decided to go for a simple shirt, and I'm glad people are enjoying it.

My favorite parts of this are the texture and the faint shadows on the stitching. Nice touch! Was this done in Illustrator too? The file must have been huge! Will be sending you a pm about Toe's Tees. :o)
Re: PRESS MY BUTTONS
I totally love this shirt, too bad you cant make it so you can write on the screen! I would have hours of fun doodling Link and my other favorite characters on it.
Wow, this shirt hasn't been rejected yet! I'm surprised this isn't considered trademark infringement. If it's stays in the game, it could easily win!

i have some heather grey american apparel t's and i don't think the design will look bad on heather. that being said, i have no interest in purchasing or wearing this shirt. maybe that means i shouldn't comment, but i wouldn't want the heather to dissuade people from voting for it if it's what they want.

I did end up lvling a BE pally though. Couldn't help it. They're just so OP. D:
Re: After Reviewing the Play...
I like the design and detail but not so much the placement or overall look. I would suggest moving the design up, and also somehow make it look less like "a shirt on a shirt" and more just like a single shirt (note the rejected superhero designs, recent pirate design, etc.) Not exactly sure how you would make it mesh using a ref shirt, but I know you have great ideas
looks like a snowman with tree ants
Re: Dwarf-Back Ride
Props for attempting such a tough concept and getting your point across.
Good luck!
Aight this is my definitive choice for this Derby.
Re: Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
Love it... not sure what I look like in green, but I'm in for one.
I'm glad this turned out so well. Way to go! =)
I would suggest maybe making the referee lines not all end in a 'box' like design, but make them look like they are coming through, or are torn.. otherwise it just looks like a square design on a white shirt, and its killing the concept right now imho.
The halftones are a definite improvement imho. I wish that the smile was more symmetrical and it might be what folks find more appealing in the other pumpkin shirt (it's my very humble guess).
No disrespect, but I also don't see "costume" in any of the pumpkin shirts, just really cool designs but I think I tend to be a stickler for the rules and perhaps it works against me. Good luck to you
Re: Three Hole Punch You
I punctuate you!!! More awful black dot "artistry" if this isn't enough... ;(
Re: I Wanna Be a Lego!
Ha! This is great. I love legos.
Wedge would also be rejected due to Starwars theme ;)
just my 2 cents...
Re: Smile!
Pretty pumpkin. Not so much a great costume.
This is pretty eye-catching. I love the purple.
Re: I need some fresh air
Brilliant idea and gorgeous line work. Your thumbnail doesn't do it justice. I agree that the text probably isn't needed, but I think the strength in your design lies in the fact that you can wear this shirt outside of Halloween.
Re: I'm a vampire
I like this shirt, but I don't see it as a great costume...
I lost my spaghetti. =(

Thanks Blammoed. Halloween certainly has lost a lot of it's horror and micheif vibe.
Why in my day...

Why does this design have 100'ish votes vs. my design http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=23677 that has only 30'ish
Woot community help me out, I want to know what appeal this has over my design, and no, I'm not saying mine is better
The purple color is definitely somethin different, and honestly, I prefer this design. Yours is a little too big and all over the place with its ginormous eyes and whatnot.

text: Okay I want to be straight up here next week I'll be visiting my favorite gun dealer, I've purchased many shotguns & rifles from him over the years but this is my first time buying a handgun. I have a retired ranger who told me to look at the S&W M&P-40, I have a co-worker who owns and swears by the Springfield XD-40 and today after talking to the gun dealer he recommended I consider the Ruger SR-40, see why I'm just a bit confused! To make things interesting the prices I got for these make me wonder a bit also, the M&P-40, 500.00 the XD-40 470.00, but the SR-40 399.00 . The first 2 just a few dollars apart but the Ruger is considerably less. I need to know from you guys here on the Ruger site if there's anything I should be aware of as far as problems with function and I do have big hands will this be an issue not only with the Ruger but any of the other 2?? Also I know that the M&P and the XD have lifetime warranty with the M&P inc. shipping both ways when warranty work is needed does Ruger back the SR similarly. Thanks for your help and please don't hold back if you have opinions on any of the 3 I've mentioned.

Name: Congress Heights Traffic Calming and Safety Study
Client: District of Columbia DOT
AEC firm: KCI Technologies Inc.
Cost: $70,000
Completed: March 2008
Residents of the 80-year-old neighborhood known as Congress Heights were tired.
Tired of asking for stop signs and speed humps, tired of waiting up to half a year for a response, and tired of piecemeal solutions that rerouted lead-footed drivers to streets where they'd continue speeding with impunity.
Instead of conducting traffic counts and speed studies on individual streets, District of Columbia traffic managers realized the only way to break the cycle was to implement a communitywide solution. So for the department's first comprehensive traffic study, they asked their consulting partner to work with all stakeholders — not just residents, but business owners, law enforcement, and school officials as well — to identify safety issues, consider new technologies, and develop an implementation plan.
In addition to reviewing street geometry, traffic volumes, accident information, and speed results on selected streets, KCI transportation planners studied neighborhood characteristics such as residential and commercial areas, schools, senior facilities, community and recreation centers, bus routes, parks, and fire and police stations. The resulting short- and long-term strategies incorporate technology the department hasn't used.
Nine locations. The LED lamps of rapid-flashing beacons flash yellow when activated by pedestrians. They can be placed either overhead or side-mounted in advance of or directly at crossings.
Four locations. HAWK (High-intensity Activated crossWalK) signals consist of flashing yellow, solid yellow, and solid red signals; a sign instructing drivers to stop on red; and a pedestrian overhead sign.
When pedestrians push the button, the overhead signal begins flashing yellow, then solid yellow and solid red to stop drivers. A flashing red light tells drivers to proceed when it's safe.
One location. In-roadway warning lights mounted in pavement near crosswalks.
The department's first step was to immediately install speed humps, speed tables, and stop signs on the 10 most-dangerous streets. Residents and business owners say the devices work: Traffic has slowed.
Speed humps and tables, crosswalks, rapid-flashing beacons, HAWK signals, and street conversions can be deployed within six months to a year. Longer-term recommendations — curb extensions, pavement removal, and landscaping at an intersection — are scheduled to be implemented over one to three years.
KCI suggested that the department measure the plan's effectiveness at seven locations that represent varying neighborhood settings and characteristics. The studies would document speeds, volumes, and pedestrian-related accidents before and after traffic calming and safety measures devices are installed.

ddrum have been manufacturing drum-kits and percussion accessories since its founding in 1983. The drum manufacturer is the sister company of Dean Guitars and create drums suited to a multitude of performers. ddrum is a rather special company in the sense that they offer customers the opportunity to customize their own kit in the ddrum USA Custom Shop, with a selection of criteria ranging from hardware options and finish to wood selection and shell dimensions.
I think it's fair to say that the snare drum is the most important component of a kit, if the snare's a little "off" then the whole kit just won't sound right. The snare drum is the performers cherished kit member, which is why ddrum offer customers the option of having a "signature" snare made with custom drum wraps. For example, Travis Smith's (Trivium) signature snare featuring custom wraps made by Rockenwraps. ddrum are a company that cares about drummers, which is why you can count on them for delivering top-quality drums with unquestionable stylishness.
Drummer for the South-African post-grunge band Seether, Humphrey is a loyal customer of ddrum products. Being a big fan of warm sounding drums, he favours kits made with dark woods, extremely deep kicks and a lot of "body" such as the ddrum Dios range, made with African bubinga wood.
One of the kits Humphrey has been seen performing with is a ddrum Dios maple kit with a tequila-burst sparkle wrap. The kit featured a 6ply maple top, 10ply 20x24 maple kick drum and his signature snare, which is an 8ply maple drum with die-cast rims and has the ability to produce the "gunshot" pop that he looks for in a snare. The drummer claims he prefers ddrum wooden snares because they're not only good for rock performance, but they're adaptable to different genres and will work just as well in an R&B track for example.
"Their stuff is just quality made, they're not hard to tune, they're very easy to get sounds [from], [they have] a great punch to them and they're just good quality products." - John Humphrey

Four Honors Program students at University of St. Thomas were chosen to attend the annual conference of National Collegiate Honors Council in New Orleans last November.
Junior Philosophy major Martha Hudson, junior English major Paul Roewe, junior biology major Holly Merta and junior theology major Sarah Ashour were chosen based on their GPA in the Honors Program courses.
The theme for the 2013 NCHC annual conference was "Conflict, Transformation, Creolization." New Orleans is a model of creativity that emerges from multicultural interaction between Native Americans, French and Spanish explorers. These confrontations settled over time into a new synthesis known as creolization.
"The conference had several particularly interesting presentations," Martha Hudson said. "I attended one about a community service program, which gave me some ideas for my own community service project here at UST."
About 2,200 people attended the New Orleans conference, drawn from 893 member colleges and universities across the United States.
"I liked the NCHC experience," Hudson said. "It was interesting to see how our Honors Program is actually very unique compared to many other honors programs. We read and discuss the great works of literature and ideas throughout history instead of having a set of specific courses such as honors biology or honors history, and so forth."
Dr. Terry Hall, director of Honors Program at UST, said it is different from honors programs at most other universities in as much as it is interdisciplinary, whereas other programs group classes around a major discipline. The Honors Program at UST services a seminar format for its courses, where discussion is encouraged and lecturing is kept to a minimum.
"The UST Honors Program exemplifies the goals of a Catholic liberal arts education. In addition it offers students a unique experience that integrates spiritual, cultural and intellectual foundations of a Western civilization," Dr. Hall said.
Dr. Hall said that the junior students in the UST Honors Program are working to complete 75 hours of community service in the Houston area, as a part of the requirements of their Honors community service project class.
Hudson said her community service project class was focused on social justice. "The community service project class is discussion style like the other Honors classes, but this time it was led by students," Hudson said. "We read works on social justice about and by inspirational people like Jean Vanier and Mother Teresa."
For more information about the Honors Program, contact Dr. Terry Hall at email@example.com or 713-525-3587.

Conciliatory Putin was in evidence and Bellicose Putin was asleep for a moment as he prepared for a three day NATO Council meeting in Bucharest, Rumania. The Ukraine and Georgia seek membership in NATO which Russia opposes and Putin most probably will offer NATO something in exchange for turning down the membership bid of the east European nations. Dimitry Rogozin, Russia's envoy to NATO, said: "there will be a talk about the philosophy and basis of partnership. If we are partners we should start to jointly solve problems in the area of security."
Deputy Foreign Minsiter Alexander Grushko on Friday promised Russian cooperation on Afghanistan if NATO turned down the Ukraine/Georgia membership bid. Russia will most probably allow NATO to ship supplies to Afghanistan across its territory. Putin might also endorse a deal that would reintegrate the breakaway region of Transdnestr into Moldova if Moldova ends its desire to enter NATO.
Putin has a few more months as president of Russia to cement his record as a leader in foreign policy. After the NATO meeting he and Dimitry Medvedev, will meet with President Bush to hammer out some issues between the United States and Russia, particularly the problem created by Bush's desire to build missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic. Both leaders would like to leave office with good relations established between their nations.

Cooking Oils Guide
All oils have something to offer. Choose according to your needs and preferences.
A well-stocked kitchen includes a variety of different oils chosen for characteristics like cost, smoke point, nutritional profile and culinary uses. Regardless of which cooking oil you select, be proud of choosing a liquid over a solid fat, such as shortening or butter. It's a fairly safe bet that by doing so you avoid saturated animal fats and trans fats, the undeniable nutritional bad guys. Numerous studies confirm that high intakes of saturated fats and trans fats cause cholesterol and heart-disease risk to rise—and that when unsaturated fats replace saturated fats in the diet, those risks are largely averted. Use this guide to pick the right oil for your cooking and health needs.

Erdem Spring 2012
On a fall day when London fashion talent burst vividly into spring bloom, there were no flowers fresher than the ones Erdem Moralioglu arranged for the delight of his audience at the Savoy Hotel. He chose the perfect place to display them: the hotel's Wedgwood blue-and-white ballroom, against which the colors of his printed cornflowers and delphiniums, primroses and marigolds, vibrated with a dizzying preciousness. Off-the-shoulder dresses and fitted sheaths wafted by in a whirl of pleats, glazed sequins, crunchy white lace dotted with crystal, and generous scatterings of flowers and hummingbirds. There were also buttoned-up silk blouses and tailored shorts, a more boyish shirt and printed trousers, and incredible trench coats running from powder-blue silk and white piqué smothered in hand-embroidered flowers to more gauzy, lace versions. For eveningwear, he played on a lingerie theme, sending out ineffably subtle nude lace slip dresses with panels fluttering at the back.
If it all sounds like a fantasia of froth, that's the wrong idea. As beautiful as it is, a total application to real women's needs runs through everything Moralioglu creates. Yet, when he talks about clothes, it's never in pragmatic terms (this season he was cheerily describing a fantasy inspired by Otto Preminger's film of Françoise Sagan's Bonjour Tristesse and Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love to his postshow visitors backstage) but, whatever his narrative du jour happens to be, it doesn't adequately explain his appeal.
First, there's his taste level. If anyone else attempted to orchestrate the materials he uses, the balance could easily tip over into something revoltingly chichi, frumpy, or old, but the essence of Erdem lies in the way he always stops short of fussiness. Contradictory as it sounds, he's a maximalist born with an affection for the pure and simple, and it's that precise combination of magic and restraint that makes his clothes seem both fresh for a young woman and not aging for someone older. Then, of course, there is the social backdrop he completely understands. In England—and maybe in the world—there are few designers of Erdem's generation who think about the clothes that will be appropriate for weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs, garden parties, and formal banquets. That's clearly why the Duchess of Cambridge, a carefully appropriate dresser, has taken to his neatly fitted, knee-length dresses with elbow-length sleeves. It doesn't take a genius to see why several more delicious versions of that exact same shape have made their way into his collection for summer.

He began by talking about growing up as an Australian of Sikh heritage in Liverpool, South West Sydney. He shared his experiences with racism that he has encountered in Australian society, how those experiences affected his mental health, and how he was able to take these negative experiences and turn them into positives for his life, career, and the communities that he is part of.
Student then asked him questions about this career as a hip hop M.C., and of how he thought Australian society had changed since he was a teenager. L-FRESH then shared the videos for his singles 'Faithful' and 'Survive'.

O'Reilly said Virginia Beach mayor "should be baking pies, not running a major city"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW IRONSIDE
On the April 6 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly stated that Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf "should be baking pies, not running a major city." O'Reilly made the comment while discussing a March 30 automobile accident that resulted in the deaths of two teenage girls, reportedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant who said he had been drinking the night of the accident. O'Reilly blamed Oberndorf in part for the accident, saying that Virginia Beach's "sanctuary city policy" prevented police from detaining and deporting the driver, despite three previous alcohol-related convictions.
O'Reilly also stated that "Oberndorf, is, with all do respect -- I'm trying not to be insulting here -- limited in her intellectual capacity" and called Virginia Beach Police Chief Alfred M. Jacocks Jr. "an arrogant incompetent." As Media Matters for America has documented (including here, here, here, and here), O'Reilly has often denied that he makes "personal attacks" despite his history of repeatedly doing so.
Additionally, O'Reilly again commented on the March 7 Bronx fire that killed nine people, saying: "You know, the kids in the Bronx all burned to death because the city -- sanctuary city of New York -- doesn't regulate how many people you cram into a slum." As Media Matters for America has documented (here and here), O'Reilly blamed the victims' deaths on the "compassion crowd" and responded to a viewer's email critical of his comments by saying, "Your so-called compassion helped kill those kids." He added in response to the viewer, "It's people like you, [viewer], who promote that kind of chaos in the name of compassion, who look the other way while poor workers and children are exploited by greedy landlords and businesses because you don't like the immigration laws."
From the April 6 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor:
O'REILLY: Now, the crux of the matter is that the guy who killed these girls, [Alfredo] Ramos, an illegal alien from Mexico, was allowed to stay in this country even after three alcohol-related convictions. OK? And another identity theft conviction. Everybody in the Virginia Beach area knew this guy was a criminal, yet no one would take action to even report him to the federal authorities so he could be deported. No one. And that's because of the crazy sanctuary city policy. All right?
Now, the mayor of Virginia Beach, Meyera Oberndorf, is, with all do respect -- I'm trying not to be insulting here -- limited in her intellectual capacity.
O'REILLY: OK. The ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. You know, look, and this is for everybody in Virginia Beach, if you're gonna elect a person like this, you're gonna have chaos. All right? This woman should be baking pies, not running a major city. Now, the real villain in this, as we continue to investigate, is Chief Alfred Jacocks. It is the chief who refuses to obey the law.
O'REILLY: We have no business doing so. So if we have a criminal illegal alien in our community, Chief Alfred Jacocks is not going to do anything. All right. Now, you have the combination of the mayor and the chief, and you know why you have two dead girls. OK? You know, you know. There's no doubt about it, there's no debate about it. This is what you have, and as long as people like that are in a position of responsibility, you're gonna have dead girls in the street.
O'REILLY: All right, look. There's no question -- I don't know what's going on in Cincinnati politics. I know it's a, it's a tough city. But there's no question in Virginia Beach that the mayor is clueless. The mayor has -- the ICE -- she has no idea what's going on. And the police chief is an arrogant incompetent.
All right. Now, if you elect these people, that's what you're gonna get. Dead girls.
O'REILLY: Because, look, just listening to her soundbites, just listening to her try to explain the situation, she is not capable of running the city. As I said, she should be home baking pies. This is not a woman who has any grasp of public policy. So, I have nothing personal against this woman. I couldn't care less about her. I just wanna protect Americans and I wanna protect illegal aliens.
Remember, these people are dying -- 500 died in the desert trying to cross into the USA last year. You know, the kids in the Bronx all burned to death because the city -- sanctuary city of New York -- doesn't regulate how many people you cram into a slum. And now we have to the two dead American girls in Virginia.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Blown 383
Considering the cost of piece milling the engine, you may wish to consider the new Edlebrock Super Charged 350 crate that cranks out over 500 hp. Might not cost any more than what you'll have in that 383 with EFI and SuperCharger...Just a thought....
|Just revieweing my options. Thanks for all the info.
I think I am missing something here. Are you talking about getting a crate engine and then adding the supercharger to that?
If so I think you will basically be in the same place you are now, unless you are going to have an engine built to take advantage of the blower you will be in the same boat.
By skipping or holding off on the fuel injection that can save you a few bucks and make things a little more simple. Once that is sorted out you could always add fuel injection later.
If you/he wants a blown engine the basic rules are (if he wants to make power), forged pistons, good rod/s bolts, forged crank, and low compression 9:1 or less. If you have those basic things then typically you can bolt a blower on and make decent power.
If you are looking at a GM crate engine I don't know of one that fits that description, there may be one I just don't know what all they have to offer these days.
There are a couple places that offer ready built blown engines Bad ***** Racing Engines (Sonoma, Ca) and Speedomotive (Southern Cal)are two that come to mind.
I am not sure what you are thinking at this point?
Thanks for the great information.
Do you think he would be better off just to get a new crate motor instead of spending the money to fuel inject this and get it ready for a blower?
The reason I went with the larger supercharger is, so I could make the same or more boost and not heat up the charge as much. This means more power and less chance of detonation.
The smaller the blower the faster you have to spin it to make the same boost as a larger blower. The faster you spin them the more heat they make and heat up the intake charge. When the charge is heated it doesn't make as much power and has more tendancy to detonate. With my 8-71 I can make 12lbs of boost at 10% underdriven (blower turning 10% slower than the crankshaft). With a 6-71 I would have to probably run it slightly overdriven to accomplish the same thing. This is all done by the pulleys you choose. A 6-71 is usually plenty for most small blocks and mild big blocks. The 8-71 was a little more money up front but, it leaves room to grow as well. My goal was to make as much power as possible on pump gas so the 8-71 was right for me.
Sorry for the long winded response, I just like to make sure things are clear.
|Hey, camaroman, why did you go with an 871 over a 671 again? Curious.
There is some info I supplied for a guy that was thinking about building/adding a supercharger to a 350 the same basic rules still apply to a 383 (it is at the bottom of the post). I have a blown 388 with a 8-71 Hampton blower. While I chose to go with carbs, there is no reason not to run injection, the initial price is higher but, the added tuneability and efficientcy will be better with injection (once you get it sorted out).
You do NOT need to get rid of the leaf springs. There are leaf spring cars running in the 8's with 10" tires. The bars 87442lover were thinking about are ladder bars or 4-link, neither is a must. Both have certain advantages and dis-advantages. A pair of Cal-Tracs could be more than enough. I personally made a set of traction bars and still have the worn out leafs with a pair of 12-way adjustable coil overs. The leafs are only thre to keep the rear end centered.
Judging by the way you asked the question, it seems like very little is known about the vehicle in question. There is a lot more to supercharging an engine than most people think. Botling it on is the easy part but, if you want to make power there are a lot of things that need to be thought about. Read the post I am providing below:
"If you want a top quality blower I HIGHLY recommend www.hamptonblowers.com There IS a difference in blowers. I did a lot of research (years worth) before buying my blower.
You have gotten some very good advice so far but, I would like to add a few things.
If you are going to do it you might as well make some power, it's not going to cost much more. Your goal will be VERY easy to reach. Keep the compression in the 8-8.5:1 range and go with good rods and forged pistons. I would also recommend contacting Engle Racing cams www.englecams.com and having a talk with them about your goals and they will grind you a cam that fits your needs. You will need a cam with a LSA of 112-114 that is really about the only hard and fast rule. You don't want a lot of overlap.
As far as the crank hub or balancer it is a matter of opinion (which you will see a lot of when it comes to blown applications) I chose to go with Hampton and followed his advice (he has been doing it longer than anyone and really knows his stuff). I went with a crank hub. The problem with a balancer on a SBC is that the crank snout is so small (in diameter) that you don't want to hang a lot of weight on it (ie...a balancer) when using a blower. I would also recommend going with an 8mm drive and not a 1/2" pitch, the 8mm will make slightly more power but, the main thing is it will put less stress on the crank snout. As you can see there is a lot to thing about feel free to ask more questions as you venture deeper into this project.
I HIGHLY recommend going with Holley blower carbs as well. You can get away with a standard carb but, if you are going to do it you might as well do it "right" (matter of opinion as well). The guys at www.allcarbs.com (All State Carbs) are great to work with and I used them and recommend others to them as well (If you go that route tell them Royce sent you).
For headgaskets I would recommend Cometic MLS gaskets (you do not need to O ring the heads with their gaskets and they seal better than copper. Some machine shops are not up on these gaskets yet and might try to tell you that O ringing is needed (IT"S NOT) especially on a street engine making less than 18lbs of boost. If you keep the boost under 10-12lbs I know of some people getting by with standard composite head gaskets (I personally wouldn't try it).
If your GM ignition is an HEI style it might be a tight fit with the blower, you don't have to have an exotic ignition for a mild blown engine, but you do want plenty of fire. If you plan on pushing the limits I would recommend a Crane ignition/boost retard or MSD ignition/boost retard.
I have a pretty detailed blower engine build on my site with lots of pictures if you are interested http://community.webshots.com/user/camaroman7d
click on the album that says "new engine"
Do your research and form your own opinion.
As you can see there is WAY too much info to post it all here, hopefully this gave you some things to think about and decide if you want to go deeper."
As for the engine, I would go with a GM TBI kit, they can be found complete for around $850 or so, and then run a centrifugal blower. As far as lag with a centrifugal, I dont think so, I like them. You could always just up the pulley ratio, or gear ratio to improve when the paxton comes alive.
If your going for a 671, or 871 I would stick to carburation. You'll find the benefits of tuning them with out eprom reprograming very helpful.
Now just because it's a 70 you'll have to either replace the leaf springs with coil, and/or add... ahh.. what do they call them, those damn arms, my brain just stopped working. Otherwise you'll twist the rearend up.
It's a 1970 something camaro...
Any specific recommendations on parts?
Money is a consideration, so good parts for the money is what we are looking for, but he can afford to do things right.
|All I`ll say is, your friend must have a lot of cash. You`ll have to run a compression check to see what it is, that or find which pistons are in the engine and what chamber size in cc`s the heads are, if you plan to go with a blower, the compression will have to be lowered to around the 8:1 area, you`ll need forged blower pistons, and you`ll need a good set of rods, stockers won`t cut it, if it`s a 2 bolt block I would move to a 4 bolt, if the crank is a stock chevy 400 unit, I would go to a eagle or scat aftermarket crank, I would also order a internally balanced unit and I would have the whole rotating assembly balanced afterwards. if the car doesn`t have subframe connectors it will be very much in need of them or body flex will occur along with possible windshield breakage. If the car is a 82 - 93 model, the stock rear won`t cut it either, the stocker rear of these years isn`t even strong enough for a 383 yet alone a 383 that`s blown.
Supercharging and fuel injecting a 383 Chevy
My friend just bought a Camaro with a 383 in it. I don't know much about the engine yet.... 400 crank I think with the 4.030 bore and 3.760 stroke. It's carburated.
My question is this....
This Camaro is one he wants to drive around on weekends. He wants it to be driveable. But he also wants to drag race it. So I want to find a happy medium for him.
First, we want to fuel inject it. For driveablity and the obvious benefits. What are my options?
....and supercharge it (if possible). What's the initial compression ratio on a 383? I was thinking a 471 or a 671 roots blower (BDS)? Or perhaps a centrifugal... like a Paxton NOVI-2000 Race?
For a drag race setup will the lag of the centrifugal become a problem? what do you guys think? I know the centrifugals are more effecient and I know we could go into a huge battle about what is better, but, I'm a little lost at what to do. The roots will definetly come on quicker, but will it make the power up top that the centrifugal will and I could get it to start making boost quickly..... plus with a stroker like a 383 the low end grunt should make traction interesting anyways, right?
Thanks for any help! any tips on making this 383 make some serious power would be great!! I've been searching the forums here for other 383 information and that has been really helpful too!

A barrier to understanding?
People don't seem to embrace global measures of temperature rise (~0.2ºC/decade) or sea level rise (> 3mm/yr) very strongly. They much prefer more iconic signs – The National Park formerly-known-as-Glacier, No-snows of Kilimanjaro, Frost Fairs on the Thames etc. As has been discussed here on many occasions, any single example often has any number of complicating factors, but seen as part of a pattern (Kilimanjaro as an example of the other receding tropical glaciers), they can be useful for making a general point. However, the use of an icon as an example of change runs into difficulty if it is then interpreted to be proof of that change.
With respect to sea level, the Thames Barrier is a concrete example that has been frequently raised.
The trends in its 'raising' have been linked to increasing sea levels and storm surges. But how often is it being raised? why? and does it give us any real insight into sea level rises on a wider basis? Looking into it, I was fortunate to get an exceptionally comprehensive set of data on the closings and reasons for them from Anthony Hammond at the Environment Agency in the UK. The results are interesting, but complicated….
The background to the Thames barrier is available here, but suffice to say it started operating in 1983, and is raised whenever there is a forecast danger of high tides, river flow and storm surges combining to threaten London. It has been raised over 100 times operationally since being constructed.
Lest you think this isn't really a problem, I recall a friend's car being parked near the boathouses in Putney. After a particularly high tide (this would have been in 1992 maybe), she returned to the car to find it filled with river water. No amount of cleaning ever got rid of the rather pungent odour. Flooding along the riverwalk in Chiswick near where I lived at the time, is frequent. And of course, the city has been flooded many times in the past – most recently in 1953 when over 300 people died.
The raw data on the closings (per winter season – the 2007 number is for Mar 2006 to Mar 2007) is seen here:
It is clear there has been a strong upswing in closings over time. The last year alone there were almost 3 times as many closing as during the first 5 years of operation put together. The three-year running mean is possibly a little clearer, showing two definite periods of more frequent closings, 1992 to 1995 and 2002 to the present.
Is this a sign of increased sea level, increased storminess, increased river flow, or changes in river management policy? As always, local factors in short records are important. Over the two and half decades of barrier operation, understanding of the Thames river hydrology has grown and models are now more accurate than they used to be, allowing for more precision in decisions to raise the barrier. The decisions depend on three main factors, the river flow at Teddington (which is where the first weir is), the forecast high tide and the (more uncertain) accompanying surge. Thus if the river flow is strong, an unexceptional high tide could cause problems, while even an exceptional tide might not if the river is particularly low. In the data, closings are distinguished by whether they are due to tidal issues, or to the combined effect of tides and high river flow (fluvial), but there is not necessarily a clean distinction.
In the 25 years of operation, global sea levels have risen around 5 cm, but it's not at all clear that such a change would be registered in the very noisy extreme surges. The two peak years for closure (2001 and 2003) had very strong river flows, making the tidal threshold for closure much lower than normal.

I can't type either as you can see, I live in not have in
Hello everyone,
I have in Central Texas, just outside of Austin if anyone cares, and though I have an HK .40, it is a bit much for a conceal weapon. I have seen quite a few Youtube videos and read many blogs and so thought I would put it out there. Seems the most popular one based upon what I have seen are the Glock 26, Beretta and a few others. I am also sure this is not the first time this question has been posted but could not put my hands on it.
Any advice on this purchase will be appreciated.
I can't type either as you can see, I live in not have in
Beretta PX4 Storm subcompact or compact is my suggestion, I like the G-19 if I were a Glock guy.
Two words for you, my friend.
You can carry whatever you want, but if you are not well trained and committed to practice, don't bother.
My advice to you would be to get yourself to a gun range that rents guns. Try before you buy.
I agree with everyone here. In hot environments (I live in Utah, so summers are hot) concealment of many types of guns is difficult. I carry a Glock 23 in Winter (and year round when doing security work) and summers I carry a S&W M&P compact. I'm considering getting a M&P shield as soon as they are available in stores. The thinness of the Shield and the feel of the M&P grip are highly attractive qualities for me.
You will want to take defensive classes to practice specific techniques, but just find a concealment firearm you re comfortable with, get your permit and train!
This is strictly my opinion, and has worked in many years of firearms training, and for men and ladies alike.
Get some basic training FIRST. At this point you need fundamentals, not run and gun, or force on force. Reputable instructors will provide a host of handguns and holsters for you to experience in class. That will give you some idea of where you're preferences might lead you in handgun selection. Then.....
Buy a handgun just like you would buy a pair of shoes. If Ol' Joe over here says he likes Charlie China tennis shoes, and you're looking for a new pair of shoes, do you run out and buy Joe's pick, just because HE likes 'em? Probably not. If a new shooter is asking what to buy for a carry gun, it doesn't matter what works for me, or anyone else. I suggest telling that new shooter to go to many gun shops, and/or gun shows, and handle all the guns they can get hold of. Just like they would try on shoes. Before long they'll be able to make a list of guns that feel ok, pretty good, real good, and "that really feels great in my hands". The last two are the ones to pursue, and here's why I say that....If a given handgun doesn't feel "right" in your hands, you'll not shoot it enough to become proficient with it, because it's not comfortable, and you won't like shooting it. Just like you rarely wear shoes that are UNcomfortable. If you're not gonna become proficient with it, save your money, and buy a ball bat to carry. With proper fundamentals, he/she can learn to shoot almost any handgun, or any caliber. Very few folks can re-train their hands to make just any handgun feel comfortable. The last suggestion... again....get some training......proper shooting techinques, practiced slowly, but proficiently, will breed speed. Do it slowly, and do it the right way, every time.......If you practice speed first, and introduce less efficient techniques into your training, you'll have to do it all over again to get it right. Most gun shops have a box of used holsters that you can experiment with after you've chosen what gun works best for you. There are many options for concealed/open carry.
By the way..... anyone who introduces a new shooter to our pastime by having them start with a large-caliber handgun, makes a very poor decision. Yes, some folks do ok starting out with large calibers, but the vast majority
will not continue to shoot if their very 1st experience is with .50 S&W. Start with a .22 caliber something, and as your technique/accuracy improves, work up from there. Caliber doesn't count until after you can hit your target.
If you're buying a handgun for home protection, and you choose to NOT have it on your person, you should consider where in your home you might be if someone kicks the door in. I don't see a person in a position to be able to ask an intruder to "hang on a sec, while I get my gun"
There always will be a trade-off..... light weight, more recoil...... shorter barrel, more recoil...I've known more than a few gents who didn't care for the recoil of what's often called a "ladies gun"... just sayin....
Again, just my ramblings.... but they work for me...
Shoot Safely....
Hi and welcome....take a good look at the new S&W shield.....JJ
Try many and find what fits and feels best. Get training and then commit to regular practice. My personal choice currently is and X-Dm 3.8 in 9 mm. I have carried Glock 19 and others.
Go down to McBrides on N. Lamar, and see if you can find something that fits....
Get some training and experience. Try several different guns.
And then buy a Beretta!

"We played a nationally-ranked team really hard and I'm happy with our work ethic today," said Canisius head coach Scott Teeter. "Unfortunately, we didn't play for an entire 60 minutes and we had a few too many lulls in the game that Cornell took advantage of. It is a step in the right direction from our first game and we just need to keep improving each contest."
Senior Morgan Leonard led the Griffs with five points and four goals on the afternoon. The senior also recorded a career-best seven caused turnovers in the loss, just one shy of the school record.
Sophomore Tori Quinn also recorded a career-best five points for the Griffs, netting three goals to go along with two assists. Seniors Meghan McGunigle and Lindsey Morgan both recorded two points on a goal and an assist with sophomore Whitley Perry rounding out the scoring for Canisius with a goal.
The Big Red raced out to an early lead in the game, netting the first two goals in just under three minutes of action. Canisius, however, answered back with tallies by McGunigle and Quinn as the Griffs knotted the contest at two. The teams then traded goals and the score was even at three with 19:12 remaining in the half but the Cornell defense shut the door the remainder of the period to take control of the game. The Big Red added three goals of its own to take a 6-3 advantage into the break.
Cornell then picked up in the second right where it left off in the first half. The Big Red scored three goals in the first 80 seconds of the half to stretch its lead to six, 9-3.
Canisius answered back behind the play of Leonard. The senior netted three-straight goals in just over four minutes of action to pull the Griffs back within three, 9-6. Cornell netted a goal shortly later but scores by Quinn and Perry cut the Big Red lead to two, 10-8, with 18:15 remaining in the game.
Cornell, however, responded and scored two goals just 18 seconds apart to take a 12-8 lead. After Quinn completed her hat trick, the Big Red netted four of the game's final five tallies for the 16-10 final.
The Big Red finished the game with a 27-20 advantage in shots and controlled the draw-control battle, 18-10.
Lindsay Toppe (4g, 3a) and Rachel Moody (2g, 5a) each led Cornell with seven points, while Courtney Gallagher recorded eight saves to earn the win.
Sophomore Kayla Scully anchored the Canisius defense with five saves on the afternoon.
The Griffs return to action next Saturday, playing at Binghamton. First draw is set for 4 p.m.
Game Notes: Kristy Grossman holds the school record with eight caused turnovers against Mercyhurst (April 7, 1999) and Saint Mary's (March 11, 2000) ... The last Griff to record seven caused turnovers in a game was Marissa Brown against St. Bonaventure on March 16, 2010 ... Junior Maria Kotas led the Griffs with a career-best five draw controls ... The Griffs are now 0-14 all-time against nationally-ranked schools ... Cornell is now 2-0 against Canisius, also earning a win last season in Ithaca.

Editor's Note: This article was updated from the version in the July/August 2011 issue of the printed magazine to reflect Thomas Drake's June 9 plea agreement and his July 15 sentencing.
From This Story
Related Content
Thomas A. Drake was a senior executive at the National Security Agency for seven years. When his efforts to alert his superiors and Congress to what he saw as illegal activities, waste and mismanagement at the NSA led nowhere, he decided to take his allegations to the press. Although he was cautious—using encrypted e-mail to communicate with a reporter—his leak was discovered. Last year the government indicted Drake under the Espionage Act. If convicted, he would have faced up to 35 years in prison.
The Drake case loomed as the biggest leak prosecution since the trial of Daniel Ellsberg four decades ago. The indictment against him included not only five counts of violating the Espionage Act, but also one charge of obstruction of justice and four counts of making false statements to the FBI while he was under investigation. Drake, who resigned from the NSA under pressure in 2008, has been working in recent months at an Apple computer store outside Washington, D.C., answering questions from customers about iPhones and iPads.
He was to be tried in Baltimore on June 13, but the trial was averted four days earlier. After key rulings on classified evidence went against the prosecutors, they struck a plea agreement: in exchange for Drake's pleading guilty to one count of exceeding the authorized use of a government computer, they dropped all the original charges and agreed not to call for prison time. On July 15, he was sentenced to one year of probation and 240 hours of community service.
Despite that outcome, the Drake case will have broad implications for the relationship between the government and the press. And it did not settle the broader question that overshadowed the proceedings: Are employees of sensitive agencies like the NSA, the CIA and the FBI who leak information to the news media patriotic whistleblowers who expose government abuses—or lawbreakers who should be punished for endangering national security? The question is becoming only more complicated in an age marked by unprecedented flows of information and the threat of terrorism.
As president-elect, Barack Obama took the position that whistleblowing by government employees was an act "of courage and patriotism" that "should be encouraged rather than stifled." But Drake's indictment was only one in an extraordinary string of leak investigations, arrests and prosecutions undertaken by the Obama administration.
In May 2010, Pfc. Bradley Manning was arrested and charged with leaking more than 250,000 State Department cables and thousands of intelligence reports to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Manning, a 23-year-old Army intelligence analyst, is in military custody, charged with aiding the enemy, publishing intelligence on the Internet, multiple theft of public records and fraud. Although aiding the enemy is a capital offense, Army prosecutors have said they will not recommend the death penalty. If convicted, Manning could be sent to prison for life. His trial has not been scheduled.
Also in May 2010, Shamai K. Leibowitz of Silver Spring, Maryland, a 39-year-old Israeli-American who worked on contract for the FBI as a Hebrew linguist, was sentenced to 20 months in prison after pleading guilty to leaking classified documents to a blogger.
Last August, Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, 43, a senior adviser for intelligence on contract to the State Department, was charged with leaking defense data. Although the indictment did not spell out any details, news media reported that Kim had provided information to Fox News, which aired a story saying the CIA had warned that North Korea would respond to U.N. sanctions with another nuclear weapons test. His trial also remains unscheduled.

text: I took up my first TEFL job in Greece a month ago having completed a 100 hour online/weekend course through TEFL England. I have no previous teaching experience and am working in a private school to students aged between 9 and 30. There is one other teacher who owns and runs the school. My main problem is that I can't use any of the interactive learning tips I picked up on my course as I have been told never to let the students work in pairs or groups as they will make too much noise.I have also been reproached for using warmer activities as these are too fun and not relevant. As a result, the majority of my lessons with 13-15 year olds involve the students sitting alone at a desk and orally correcting homework exercises one by one and some preparation for a written task which is what they do in their other lessons. This is not interesting for me or for the students and is causing problems with discipline and students pushing to see what they can get away with. With the older students (15 to 30) who are studying for proficiency in English I have managed to do some discussions on different topics (capital punishment, recycling, school uniforms and road safety) but it is hard to engage the whole group. I also have to do a mock oral exam with them once a week which is repetitive and only engages 2 students out of the class at any time. I have problems with some of the students speaking Greek amongst themselves, generally not paying attention or claiming that the topic is boring and that they know everything already. However, when I collect their homework they fail to structure their writing correctly, answer the question or use the vocabulary I have provided them with. Is this a normal experience for a first time teacher? What can I do to make the tedious activites more interesting and to maintain discipline? Is it too late to be strict with the students after starting softly? I would be grateful for any advice you can offer me as I want to get the most out of my job here!

"One of the things about him that is underrated is his physical strength and his mental toughness. He is under-valued by people. You've got to see him on a daily basis to know how important he was to our team."'

text: I just noticed the same thing with one of my hives as well. It was my original hive I started with in spring 2011. I looked down into the bottom deep from the top and noticed a very low population below, so like any hobbiest would do I switched the top box and put it on the bottom and put the "empty" box on top. Guess we will see what happens!
