What's it look like? Can you screenshot it?

I don't know what it is, but why is it a problem? It's apparently doing its job, so why not just let it?
its so damn fast I cant screenshot it.
I've noticed it as well. It's so quick I can't tell what it is. I haven't noticed anything weird at all, so I'm not letting it bother me. It's not every time, though.
It's just the NSA logging all your texts for their servers..😁

They don't need to tell me they're doing that. :P

I never would have noticed it if I hadn't seen this thread.
I get a data icon when I send a txt saying my phone is using data.
I just tried it, no icon for me (I'm on AT&T). Although I was sending myself a text, so don't know if that matters

I am experiencing this as well. I managed to snap a screenshot of it. I have reached out to htc and they have provided me with many failed attempts as to explain what this is and why its happening. It's pretty weird and frustrating. Seems to be happening on the m7 and m8 devices. What is this?Attachment 122460
It is your data manager app flashing in the notification shade as it sends/receives a message.
Are you using the stock messaging app or Verizon's messaging app? I believe the Verizon app has the ability to send text messages via wifi and data connections and report as such via notifications.

I see it too, comes up every time I send or receive a text. I believe this is the cause.
Posted via Android Central App
Yeah my M8 did that for the brief time I had it... It was a Verizon M8.
Never could figure out what it was.

It happens on stock and 3rd party messaging apps. I noticed it's doing it after placing a call as well. I'm on AT&T by the way.
Well as of today I gave a replacement device in the mail. After speaking with htc again on the matter I was referred to at&t technical support. They remotely logged into my phone and had me replicate the problem. After seeing it and seeing that I had already performed a factory reset she then got all of my info for a replacement. So still no answer as to what's causing it but looks like it's covered under the warranty.
It's normal. I noticed it on my M7 after the Kit Kat update, and my M8 is doing the same thing.
Posted via Android Central App
Noticed the same thing. I was getting paranoid because the icon looked like the screenshot icon, but the data icon does look like it as well.
Here's a screenshot. I thought I was seeing things until I searched and found this thread. Should I be concerned with getting a replacement under warranty? Is there a fix/ workaround?
Attachment 154469
I believe this is the icon the OP is talking about (the square one with </> inside). It's normal.
Attachment 154631
It sometimes appears as Android OS in battery usage screen.
Attachment 154632
The icon I'm referring to is on the far left of the screenshot icon. In another thread. someone mentioned it was the data manager app flashing in the notification shade as it sends/receives a message. I have yet to verify this as being true. All I know is that I have never noticed it before and I've had the phone for 2 months now.
Attachment 154765
It's the data app icon..it pops up right after sending and sometimes I've noticed it when receiving messages as well.

Spring has sprung, and with the warmer weather outside comes a desire (and a need) to do some things around your home that may have taken a beating while keeping you warm through the winter.
Protect Against Germs
Germ Warfare: Replace your air filter! Taking in all your exhaled germs, pet-hair, and anything else floating around your home in microscopic particles, your furnace has been diligently keeping you and your family from turning into icesicles all winter long. Treat it (and yourself) to a new filter. Check out the size you need and take a stroll to your local hardware store. Your furnace will thank you, your immune system will like you as well.
Bug and Pest Removal
Battle the Bugs: It's time to put away the heavy quilts, blankets and bear-skin rugs for the spring and summer. Be sure to wash and thoroughly dry all bedding before storing. Dirty bedding is a great way to attract moths and insects. Utilize zippered or vacuum-seal storage bags, it'll save space and also protect you from the aforementioned bug friends.
Protect Against Mold in Your House
Marauding Mold: Sticking with keeping you and your home healthy and happy, this is the perfect time to snoop around the house for mold and mildew. With the warm weather bringing rain and humidity, attics and basements could become tenants for this nastiness, causing health problems and structural damage to your home. Find and seal any moisture leaks immediately and use your air-conditioning system and a dehumidifier in your basement to keep the humidity levels steady.
Get a head start with these 3 simple tips to remove bugs and pests, and protect your home against germs and mold. Prepare your home for warmer temperatures and your eventual spring cleaning date with the power washer. This will especially help you get jump-started for the summertime home buying season!
Please feel free to leave us any comments or questions!

The fence can be a valuable place for a spell.
Many times it's helpful to sit between two extremes and to try and find the specific spot of balance that brings compromise. It can be the place where civility and dialogue are cultivated. The fence can allow you to hear differing sides and to broker understanding between them and to craft a way forward.
But other times sitting on the fence will only get you splinters in your rear end and a nightmare all around you. These are such times.
Though I'd love to find a gentle, diplomatic way of saying them, there are things that need to be said right now without couching or softening:
Donald Trump is not stable, rational, or normal by any measurement we use for adults.
It's unacceptable that a President-Elect sides with a Russian ruler over a sitting US President.
Tossing out taunting social media exchanges toward China regarding nuclear weapons is fully reckless.
It's not alright that the next ruler of the Free World spends more time trolling people on Twitter than taking security briefings.
It's not acceptable to eliminate healthcare for tens of millions of people without an alternative.
It's indecent to suggest any religious or ethnic group should be required to register with the Government.
It's not okay to defund Planned Parenthood when millions of women depend on it.
I say these things as a registered Independent and nondenominational Christian. This current crisis in our country is not about the Republican Party. This is about this President Elect and this specific group of Republican leaders, and about the danger they present to all of us. These are not political statements, they are affirmations of our shared humanity. They speak to the worth and safety of the diverse population of this country. They should be nonpartisan priorities. I like to think they are.
I hear the same comments every day by the fence-sitters:
"Both sides are the same."
"Hillary is as dishonest as Trump."
"They're equally bad."
That's simply not true and it's okay to say so.
Yes, in a perfect world the fence would be a great spot.
Staying in the middle as a polite, objective observer would be wonderful.
But, this isn't a perfect world.
Things are not always equal.
The dangers are not always balanced.
Sometimes diplomacy is irresponsible and enabling.
Sometimes silence is participation.
Sometimes the fence is the seat of the coward.
Saying that "both sides are wrong" right now is a cop-out and shows you're not paying attention or you're blinded by obligation or affinity:
Both sides are not trying to take away people's healthcare or right to marry, or their freedom of speech or religion, or of the Press.
Both sides are not filling their leadership with white supremacists and bigots and billionaires.
Both sides are not talking about building walls or registering Muslims or getting reparative therapy for gay people.
Both sides aren't the source of the exponential rise in hate crimes against marginalized communities.
Both sides aren't commandeering the Church as a weapon of bigotry and exclusion.
Avoiding these realities simply to maintain some party line is tantamount to treason.
I'm all for understanding people's hearts and motives, and for finding common ground to build upon, but there comes a time when you need to call out vile stuff clearly and without needing to be balanced or nuanced or polite.
Both Christians and Muslim families will suffer without access to healthcare.
Conservatives and Progressives will be in the same danger if an impulsive Tweet drags us into war.
The non-wealthy who voted Red and those who voted Blue will endure the same financial burdens if big business stewards our resources and determines our tax codes.
I am a pastor and a person fully committed to the bigger table, and that includes the most Conservative citizens of this country—but I also know that if people come to the table with chainsaws, you don't let them destroy it. When the Germans were registering Jews, claiming that "Jews have their faults too" would have been a disastrous response and partnership in genocide. Sometimes you need to sacrifice decorum for decency. Sometimes you just need to say that something is horrible when it is.
Every fight for justice in History has been marked by naming evil as evil, regardless of the source. It's been fought by people who stepped down from the fence and took sides, even if it meant standing in opposition to church or party or tribe.
If your loyalty to a faith tradition or political party or religious denomination supersedes your responsibility to the people you share this world with, if it prevents you from speaking clearly, if it allows you to permit the victimization of others—it's time to discard it.
Sometimes you just need to get your rear end off the fence for the sake of humanity.
Good people of all political and religious affiliations—this is an invitation to take a side.

Version 2
- Now called Zippy.
Special Deal
Get all 3 sizes, Small, Large, & Super Large
Version 3
Special Deal
Get all 3 sizes, Small, Large, & Extra-Large
One Of
These As
Your First
Can't decide what size flash diffuser to get?
Sometimes it is hard to pick just the right size flash diffuser to get. I understand :)
As owner of the company, in my photography work I carry ALL 3 SIZES with me! Being a photographer I understand it is better to be over-prepared rather than UNDER-PREPARED.
I have created 2 very special basically un-advertized specials to help my "buddies" that always approach me when I am working a wedding or other photo session. I am sharing these specials here for my online friends too.
You don't have to choose just one size. For ABBC version 3.0, you can get all 3 sizes for just about $5 more than ordering just the $39.99 Extra-Large ABBC 3.0 alone. I highly recommend this package as not only a special savings, but you always have all 3 sizes with you for any situation you may find yourself in.
ABBC version 2.0 (also called the "Zippy") is the same as ABBC 3.0 but the materials and style are different. It works almost as well but is a lot cheaper.
I HIGHLY recommend getting ALL 3 SIZES of the ABBC version 2.0 as your first purchase!!!!!
You will have all 3 sizes on hand and never have to wonder if you got the right size. The basic difference is ABBC version 2 will rip if treated roughly and verson 3.0 will not, and the reflective surface is a whiter white. I personally still use the ABBC version 2.0 the MOST in my own photo sessions and weddings. The price is low enough to have all 3, and if they need replacing down the road, you don't mind getting fresh ones.
Peter Says-
Peter's Secret Weapon - BUY ALL 3 SIZES - ONE LOW PRICE !!!!

(TEHRAN) -- Twenty Iranians were flogged in a square in the capital Tehran Tuesday for selling ``obscene'' compact discs and videotapes, the official news agency IRNA reported.
The dealers had been convicted of selling the illegal material, usually pirated Western films and music videos by U.S.-based Iranian artists. The agency did not say how many lashes the men received.
Western-style tapes and CDs are illegal under Iran's strict censorship rules which ban images of women without an Islamic dress covering most of their body. But the material is widely available in the Islamic republic anyway.
IRNA said other dealers continued to sell similar material not far from the square as the flogging was being carried out.
Plainclothes police barred Iranian press photographers from taking pictures of the public flogging, it added.

Game 78 Recap: NYY 2 TEX 1/
A walk-off victory followed up by a run-off victory. The Yankees stole one in the 9th again yesterday afternoon, nipping the Rangers 2-1 on a walk-off pass ball.
The Yankee rotation has been very uneven the last few turns, but the one consistent has been Michael Pineda. He looked really good last Saturday against the Twins and backed that up with an even better performance against the Rangers yesterday. Pineda gave up a run in the top of the 1st on a Shin-Soo Choo leadoff home run. He then proceeded to shut the Texas lineup down for 6 scoreless, 1-hit innings with an even dozen strikeouts. He struck out 5 in a row from the 2nd to the 3rd and the final 2 batters he faced in the game. All swinging, I want to say almost all at his unhittable slider. Pineda was incredible yesterday.
The only run of support he got for his effort against A.J. Griffin came in the bottom of the 5th, when Didi Gregorius turned on an inside slider and hit it out for a Yankee Stadium special home run. It wasn't until the bottom of the 9th when they put something together on a pair of walks and a (dumb) Didi sac bunt. With 2 outs and runners on second and third, Texas catcher Robinson Chirinos seemed to cross himself up on a slider and the ball went by him to the backstop. Chase Headley rushed home from third and beat the throw for the winning run. Not what you're expecting or even considering in that situation, but you'll take it.
Game Notes:
- 20 swings and misses from Pineda on 60 strikes (92 pitches). His whiff rates have been solid all year long, but he's really been making some guys look silly the last few times out. More of this and maybe he can turn himself into a viable trade piece.
- The Yankee lineup only had 5 hits yesterday and A-Rod had 2 of them. He also picked up his second stolen base of the year. How about that?
- It was another all hands on deck day for the Chapillances trio as they continue to showcase themselves to all interested trade parties. 3 scoreless innings, 2 hits, no walks, 4 Ks.
- Don't look now, but the Yankees are back to .500. Again.

Mbabane - A Violent strike has closed down much of Swaziland's sugar industry, stopping production of the country's top export revenue earner.
Arson attacks destroyed about 170 hectars of cane under cultivation at 11 farms last week. The farms belong to Illovo Sugar's Ubombo Sugar in the eastern sugar belt.
The firm estimates the loss at R5 million, apart from losses incurred as a result of the work stoppage, now in its second week, by 3 000 employees.
"We have learnt the lessons from our brothers in South Africa, at Marikana. We must fight injustice even at the cost of our lives," Thulani Simelane, a striking worker, said.
The Swaziland Agricultural Plantations Workers Union (Sapawu) seeks a 14 percent pay increase, which would raise basic salaries from R1 500 to R1 710 a month. Ubombo Sugar has offered a 7.5 percent hike.
"Workers on Swaziland's sugar plantations are among the most heavily exploited sections of the working class," the Communist Party of Swaziland said in support of the strikers.
Ubombo has applied for a court order to rein in violent strikers.
Sapawu secretary-general Archie Sayed sought to calm workers, addressing them before negotiations on Friday with Ubombo management.
"We are not here to fight but to ask for our money. Show some respect and stop being violent," Sayed said.
"Management informed us that the company made a profit of R257 million this year, which means we are doing our job correctly. We are making money for the company."
The government sent the ministers of agriculture and commerce, the labour commissioner and the commissioner of police to meet Ubombo management and to plead for calm from workers.
The Communist Party of Swaziland, which is not permitted to operate openly in the country, blamed the king, Mswati III, for exploiting the sugar workers.
"Tibiyo Taka Ngwane, the corporate conglomerate supposedly held in trust for the Swazi nation by King Mswati, owns 40 percent of shares in Ubombo. Mswati's… control of enterprises that should be generating dividends for the Swazi people accounts for the major part of his massive… income," the party said.
Swaziland provides 8 percent of total EU sugar imports under a duty-free and quota-free arrangement.
Sugar exports rose from 11.1 million tons in 2006 to over 30 million tons last year.
However, the European Commission has recommended the end of the preferential trade agreement in order to boost continental production and lower domestic prices. In response, some African exporters have asked for the quotas to expire in 2020 to allow time to establish substitute export markets.
"After consultations and negotiations, it is now very likely that the production quota will be maintained until October 2017," ambassador Hans Duynhouwer, the head of the delegation of the EU to Swaziland, said in an address to the Swazi sugar industry.
EU funding is leading the way towards sugar industry reform in Swaziland. About 10 percent of the e1.25 billion (R18.1bn) Sugar Accompanying Measures Programme is earmarked for the country.
"The funding helps the sugar sector to prepare for the future, and then stakeholders will have to assume the financial responsibility for ensuring a competitive industry. The expansion of sugar under smallholders is a key feature of the country's national adaptation strategy," Duynhouwer said.
About 70 percent of Swazis reside as subsistence farmers on communal land. Years of initiatives to commercialise these smallholdings have failed because land dwellers are not given title deeds to their farms.
"The EU money will not be a substitute for land reform. Swaziland's land system is feudal, and land reform is required or smallholder farmers cannot meaningfully contribute to the sugar industry," said Samuel Dlamini, an agricultural consultant in Manzini.

My name is William Luchtman and I work for the Yuma Police Department Traffic Unit as a motor officer and I'm emailing you to request the assistance of the Crane School District with a safety matter related to Arizona traffic law. In the recent past, Arizona changed the verbiage of ARS 28-797.F which will affect your schools and the community passing through the posted school zones. It previously stated that vehicles should reduce their speed for the posted school zone signs (15-MPH) from the first sign until they passed the crosswalk. The new verbiage reads as follows:
F. A vehicle shall not proceed at a speed of more than fifteen miles per hour between the portable signs placed on the highway indicating that there shall be no passing, that school is in session and that the driver shall stop when children are in the crosswalk.
As I'm sure you understood, the new verbiage states "between the portable signs". Just for clarification, the "last sign" is usually the one facing the opposite flow of traffic, as depicted in the picture.
The YPD Traffic Unit will also be addressing the changes to ARS 28-797.F and the safety concerns in the following manner:
- The YPD Traffic Unit will conduct a focused-enforcement special detail of school zones with an emphasis on school crossings.
- Creating a flyer to be handed out by officers during traffic stops/contacts to educate the public of the changes to ARS 28-797.F.
- Requesting the assistance of available SRO's, NSRO's and Patrol Officers to conduct the same enforcement when their regular duties permit, and/or conduct educational presentations to the students, staff and community as needed. Please let me know if your district or schools would like a presentation or additional information regarding the changes and upcoming enforcement efforts.
- Posting the changes to ARS 28-797.F on the YPD website and social media applications as well as City of Yuma notices to employees and the public.
- Working with the YPD Public Affairs Unit to broadcast the changes to ARS 28-797.F and notice of the focused-enforcement special detail to televised news and radio channels.

Just how good was Andre De Grasse's wind-aided 9.69?
Ahead of this summer's world championships, Canada's Andre De Grasse continues to put the sprinting world on notice.
The 22-year-old recorded a blazing — albeit wind-aided — 9.69 to win the 100-metre IAAF Diamond League race Sunday in Stockholm, Sweden.
The wind was well above the legal standard of two metres-per-second but had it not been blowing 4.8 metres, his time would have been a Canadian record and huge jump on his personal best.
De Grasse has been closing in on Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin's Canadian record of 9.84 seconds. Bailey hit the mark in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta to win the gold medal and Surin equalled the elusive time at the 1999 world championships in Seville, Spain.
Bailey has monitored De Grasse's improvements since Rio 2016 and predicts a big summer.
"With this race, it places him in line with his fastest legal time this year," Bailey told CBC Sports. "[That] simply means he's faster and will break both his personal best[s] in the 100 and 200. It will be a great summer."
De Grasse's former coach Tony Sharpe also predicts an historic summer, but went one step further.
"That Canadian record, it's gone," Sharpe said laughing. "We know it is going to go. It's just a matter of the right environment and conditions…Andre is better than 9.84. Everybody knows that.
"He's probably a 9.75 guy this year in the right conditions," the former Olympic bronze medallist in 4×100 relay told CBC Sports.
CBC Sports reporter and former Olympic sprinter Anson Henry wholeheartedly agreed.
"If [De Grasse] is healthy, the Canadian record is going to be lowered. No matter what. It's going to happen…The Canadian record is gone this year no matter what."
'Difficult to compare with Bailey, Surin'
According to estimated wind-altitude adjustment calculators, De Grasse's time would convert to a 9.88 with no wind or a 9.79 with a legal 2.0 wind.
Trent Stellingwerff, director of performance solutions at the Canadian Sport Institute, told CBC Sports that it is difficult to evaluate De Grasse's time compared to Bailey and Surin's mark due to a number of factors including wind tunnel – which relates directly to the size of the two sprinters.
"It's difficult to compare them head-to-head and apples to oranges…[For example] Donovan is a bit bigger than Andre so there is a bit more surface area to potentially push him along," he explained. "[But Andre] is in that ball park. I bet you last summer if you asked Donovan, he would have said that Andre was already in the Canadian record ball park.
Head-to-head with Usain Bolt
But De Grasse's ambitions stretch beyond the Canadian record.
He has won his last three races and continues to perform well after winning a bronze medal in the 100 and a silver in the 200 at Rio 2016. He publicly stated that he wants to beat Jamaican Usain Bolt at the world championships that run from August 4-13 in London, England.
Bolt has a hat trick of Olympic gold medals in the 100 and has already indicated that the worlds will be his last competition.
With the way De Grasse is running, Sharpe believes the Canadian has put Bolt on notice.
"Andre is gaining confidence. It's a huge factor. He's schooling these world class sprinters [in the Diamond League] like kids. He dominated them [Sunday]. I never bet against Andre."
Henry says that the upcoming world championship could be a defining moment for De Grasse.
"When your body feels 9.69, that's part of his muscle memory now," he said. "His body has felt it. His nervous system has adapted to it.
"Andre has made it clear that he wants to beat Bolt…He's getting faster every race. He has made it clear that he doesn't want the throne handed to him. He wants to take it."

Rumor Control: Rob Kardashian Claims He Wasn't Talking About Rita Ora During Angry Bird Twitter Rant
- By Bossip Staff
Adrienne? Rosa? Cause according to Rob, it aint Rita….
Rob Kardashian Says He Wasn't Talking About Rita Ora During Twitter Rant
Yesterday, Kardashian brother Rob, who has been letting Rita Ora roc his man parts over the last couple months, went on a twitter tirade about a woman who "cheated on him" by sleeping with 20 men, all while struggling to get her new career off the ground.
Most who peeped the tweets assumed he was referring to his Roc Nation roster chick Rita, but he came out today to shut the speculation all down:
Rob went on to assert that he respects women and never called his blonde-haired boo thang a slorebag:
Hmmmm. Do you believe that Rob really wasn't talking about Rita? Or is his PR team just doing a little too-late damage control?

Truck Accident Litigation Lawyers In Tonkawa Oklahoma
What is truck accident litigation?
A trucking accident occurs when big rigs or semi trucks collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Due to the large size of trucks, an accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, disobeying safety procedures, repair and maintenance failure among others. People who are injured in truck accidents may be compensated for their injury, lost income, and pain and suffering.

The Federal Communications Commission approved AT&T's acquisition of MediaOne today after ordering the companies to sell some of their assets, clearing the final obstacle to a merger that will create the nation's largest provider of cable television, long-distance telephone service and high-speed Internet access.
The deal is a prime example of the consolidation that began in the telecommunications market after it was deregulated in 1996, a development that has promised to blur and redefine the nation's telephone, cable and broadcast industries.
C. Michael Armstrong, AT&T's chairman and chief executive since 1997, has been trying to move his company away from a stagnant business -- long-distance telephone service -- so it can take advantage of the revolution in digital communications. He has committed billions of dollars to offer consumers a basket of services: television; the Internet; and local, long-distance and wireless telephone access.
But there are limits. The F.C.C. gave the companies a choice of which programming and cable subsidiaries and investments to sell to comply with a rule that forbids a corporation from having interests in more than 30 percent of the nation's cable and satellite television market, or nearly 25 million subscribers. Officials estimate that without any divestitures AT&T and MediaOne would control more than 40 percent of that market, reaching more than 34 million subscribers.
The decision angered some consumer groups, which had asked the commission to force AT&T to sell the cable systems the company co-owns with Time Warner, its next-biggest rival, which is being acquired by America Online. The groups had also asked the agency to force AT&T to open its Internet network to competing service providers without requiring consumers to pay additional fees.Continue reading the main story
Officials at Consumers Union said they were so troubled by the decision that they would file a lawsuit in federal court to overturn the commission's action and would ask Congress to adopt a law that would narrow the agency's authority to review mergers.
''Rather than use its merger authority to protect the public against an expanding monopoly, the commission has allowed AT&T to extend the reach of its cable and broadband Internet service monopolies and extended the time during which it can abuse consumers and harm potential competitors,'' said Gene Kimmelman, co-director of Consumers Union's Washington office. ''This decision is so inconsistent with the commission's own factual depiction of AT&T's market dominance that it defies logic.''
Mr. Kimmelman added that the decision ''smacks of political favoritism for one company.''
But federal regulators said the order struck a delicate balance by encouraging AT&T and MediaOne to continue investing billions of dollars to upgrade the nation's cable system for high-speed Internet access and entering local telephone markets to challenge the regional Bell companies. At the same time, they said, the order prevents the company from monopolizing the cable market and creating inappropriate bottlenecks for rivals.
''AT&T's application, as originally filed, was inconsistent with the public interest and presented significant diversity and competition concerns,'' said William E. Kennard, chairman of the F.C.C. ''But the merger we approve today looks very different from the application initially presented to us. This decision strikes the appropriate balance between promoting competition in local telephone service and protecting competition in cable and high-speed Internet service.''
Mr. Kennard said he had also relied on AT&T's nonbinding commitment not to block access of its system to rivals, as Time Warner did briefly during a recent contract dispute with ABC.
AT&T executives were thrilled by today's decision.
''This merger will mean a real choice and lower prices in local phone service, faster Internet access and better cable TV,'' Mr. Armstrong said. ''For consumers, that's a home run in any ballpark.''
The proposed merger was valued at $58 billion when it was announced a year ago during a wave of consolidation in the telecommunications and high-speed Internet markets.
Those deals have posed a particular challenge for antitrust regulators because of the complex interlocking ownership interests between cable operators, programmers and high-speed Internet service providers.
In many ways, the blurring of lines between content providers and distributors mirrors the technical convergence that is occurring as it is becoming more difficult to distinguish between a telephone service, a television network and an Internet service provider.
Both AT&T and Time Warner, which will be the nation's second-largest cable operator, have shared interests in the same high-speed Internet and programming companies. But two weeks ago the Justice Department's antitrust division approved the AT&T merger after the companies agreed to sell their interest in Road Runner, the nation's second-largest cable Internet service.
Today, the F.C.C. went further, ordering another round of divestitures to comply with a law that says the agency will approve only those mergers that are found to be in the public interest.
The F.C.C. decided to give AT&T and MediaOne a year to choose from three options to meet the 30 percent limit. The combined company can sell its interest in the Liberty Media Group and Rainbow Holdings, programming companies that AT&T acquired interests in when it acquired Tele-Communications Inc. last year. It can sell MediaOne's 25 percent interest in Time Warner Entertainment, a programming and cable operating company that serves 12.6 million cable subscribers.
Or AT&T and MediaOne, which together have interests in 41.8 percent of the cable and satellite television markets, could shed 11.8 percent, or about 9.7 million subscribers, to lower the share of the market to 30 percent.
The order gives the companies until May 19, 2001, to complete the divestitures. The date is the one-year anniversary of a decision by a federal appeals court here upholding the constitutionality of the cable ownership limits. The agency also ordered AT&T to report on what companies they intend to sell within six months of the date of the closing of the merger.
James Cicconi, AT&T's general counsel, said the company had not decided what it would sell but that it had no intention of spinning off its interest in Liberty Media. That unit's largest shareholder, John C. Malone, is also AT&T's largest shareholder and a member of its board.
''I'm not prepared to pick an option today,'' Mr. Cicconi said. ''We're confident we can comply.'' He said AT&T planned to close the deal by the first week in August.
But consumer groups and rivals said that once the deal closed, it would solidify AT&T's position as the dominant cable player. They said that the F.C.C. appeared to have caved in to special interests and that the regulators should have used the deal to force the companies to open their Internet network to competing service providers.
''In its approval, the F.C.C. indicates that it will continue to monitor AT&T's promise to provide open access in the future,'' said Greg Simon, the co-director of the Open Net Coalition, a group of consumer organizations, Internet providers and other telephone companies that have been critical of AT&T's refusal to provide them with equal access to its high-speed service. ''However, by the time the F.C.C. determines if AT&T has fulfilled its vague voluntary commitments on open access, it may be too late to offer customers meaningful choices for cable Internet services.''Continue reading the main story

On May Lindstrom signature gift box: I saved up for For Delicate Complexions set (I've been using the products like manna since, but that's another story) and it arrived in one of those gorgeous boxes. It happened to be light and sturdy and so it became my staple box for stuffing my beauty products in for travelling. It worked beautifully! It turns out a rigid container works so much better than those pouchy thingys they want you to spend a bit too much of your money on (oh wait I should get those plastic tubs!). Anyway, there I was, in my May Lindstrom gift box bliss, and then my mum accidentally threw away the lid, so I sadly parted with the bottom bit too. Err uhmm I actually just came to say Happy New Year really!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love this story so much, Jay! You should know that you can order one of our gorgeous signature gift boxes on our website (www.maylindstrom.com) for only $10 anytime you like along with any order. And while you're there - be sure to request complimentary samples. I love sending generously sized treats (perfect for travel!) for you to experience. :) xo May LindstromDelete
Oh my thanks for replying personally. Let me say I absolutely adore blue cocoon. I have dry yet very breakout prone skin and it calms it the heck down. I will remember the new gift box and complimentary samples the next time I order.Delete
Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
I've just discovered your blog, Caroline, AND also May Lindstrom's range which, together with the fact that it is the beginning of a new year, the beginning of my 40s and I love all things natural, must be a sign sent from heaven!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!ReplyDelete
Happy New Year Caroline and thank you for all your giveaways. And thank you for making it a simple entry and not one of those like this post, like the instagram post, repost, tag a friend, blah, blah, blah.ReplyDelete

Title: Death on the Ice: The Great Newfoundland Sealing Disaster of 1914
Release date: 1988
Publisher: Doubleday Canada
Subject: Seal hunting
Overview: Each year, for generations, poor, ill-clad Newfoundland fishermen sailed out to hunt seals in the hope of a few pennies in wages from the prosperous merchants of St. John's. The year 1914 witnessed the worst in the long line of tragedies that were part of their harsh way of life. For two long, freezing days and nights a party of seal hunters - 132 men - were left stranded on an icefield floating in the North Atlantic in winter. They were thinly dressed, with almost no food, and with no hope of shelter on the ice against the snow or the constant, bitter winds. To survive they had to keep moving, always moving. Those who lay down to rest died. Heroes emerged - one man froze his lips badly, biting off the icicles that were blinding his comrades. Other men froze in their tracks, or went mad with pain and walked off the edge of the icefield. All the while, ships steamed about nearby, unnoticing. And by the time help arrived, two thirds of the men were dead. This is an incredible story of bungling and greed, of suffering and heroism. The disaster is carefully traced, step by step. With the aid of compelling, contemporary photographs the book paints an unforgettable portrait of the bloody trade of seal hunting among the icefields when ships - and men - were expendable.

Until this time, he was the only artist who had actually gone to "the front." Blue Ice dramatically records Noseworthy's time in the wild. As he was portraying the life of the courageous sealers through his art, he was also recording the daily hunt in his journal. Blue Ice is the true account of George Noseworthy's passion for adventure – and the men of Newfoundland's sealing industry whose bravery he immortalized in his art.

Ohhh very sweet! How it was obvious they hadn't really talked about their status before, but ended up ignoring everyone else at the table to discuss it!
| Mendip123 chapter 1 . 6/1/2014
Super. Cute.
I was curling up around the edges embarrassed/delighted. My husband thinks I've had some kind of fit. Loved this. Felt authentic - the way River shows Kaylee and they all gradually catch on before Jayne is Jayne. Favourited, great job. :-D
| TheLadyLeFay chapter 1 . 8/5/2012
Great story. I love this, and I could definitely see it occurring.
| adara-greenleaf chapter 1 . 5/26/2011
*bursts out laughing* I love Jayne! "Makin' eyes." Hilarious! And River is just so damn cute! Wow...very, very good story. You capture their "voices" so well. It's literally like I just watched an episode, or something. I can see this scene so very clearly. It takes a very good writer to make the words being read seem like they're being spoken instead. I am off now to read your other Firefly stories.
| tansypool chapter 1 . 4/12/2011
By God, that was adorable. Absolutely I'm-going-to-squeal adorable.
| RionaEire chapter 1 . 3/10/2011
Cute story. I loved the sentence "She can't keep the secret too long and they'd all know if they opened their eyes anyway." and the phrase "points across to the not so secret secret." Those were cute. It does make sense that River would notice this new situation and I enjoyed the "covert" interplay between River and the other crew members as she shows them all what she has discovered, funny to watch all the non-verbal cues and under-the-table (sometimes literally) gesturing. Nice little story, everyone's voices sounded right and the present tense was good, I like present tense.
| writtenwordlover chapter 1 . 3/5/2011
Very nice, and yeah, Mal and Inara are extremely private people in matters of the heart, but it's hard to keep a secret on a boat full of family and a reader, too. I liked how Mal asked Inara what her intentions were.
| Lyaksandra chapter 1 . 3/4/2011
This was a lot of fun. The characters and situations well played. Thanks.
| Gwenfrewi72 chapter 1 . 3/4/2011
First, this story is more Mal/Inara. I know that it's a friendshippy kind of Mal & River, but the Mal/River shippers who look for Mal & River fics would appreciate more of a warning.
I liked it. Totally sounds like how Mal & Inara would have a relationship, all secret like until River decided to share!
| jane0904 chapter 1 . 3/4/2011
Very nice little tale. And I think probably Mal and Inara would try to keep their relationship secret, at least for a while, as they would be scared it wasn't going to be successful, or that they were going to hurt each other. And River feeling vaguely guilty for bringing it out ... that's right too, because even a psychic has to learn that it's not always polite to blab!

ST. LOUIS -- Armed with his ''Muskie'' pitch, Stan Belinda's Thursday night debut with the Braves drew rave reviews from catcher Javy Lopez and pitching coach Leo Mazzone.
Belinda, the well-traveled reliever signed by the Braves last Saturday, pitched a perfect seventh inning, with two strikeouts, including a whiff of Jason Conti, who was riding a three-hit game.
''Javy came in and said, 'Man, that was nasty,' '' Mazzone said. ''He really looked good.''
So, what is Belinda's 'Muskie' pitch, and, more importantly, why did he name it after a fish?
''Rem (Mike Remlinger) and I call it that because it has a big bite on it,'' Belinda explained. ''It's a variation of a split-finger that's really flourished for me. I can throw it and throw it and it doesn't bother my arm one bit.''
Belinda uses the pitch as a changeup. It's about 5-7 m.p.h. slower than his fastball and has a sharp downward motion. He developed it several years ago after abandoning efforts to learn a circle change. Experimenting in the bullpen, he discovered that by maintaining pressure on the ball with his middle finger, he had an off-speed pitch with movement.
The problem in Denver was, the mile-high conditions affected the pitch negatively. The action wasn't nearly as sharp, the pitch rolling more than dropping, and hitters licked their chops. The result was a 7.07 earned run average and his release by the Rockies.
The good news is, back at sea level, the 'Muskie' has regained its bite and Belinda might turn into one of the best moves the Braves made for the stretch run.
Jones lone producer atop Braves' order
It's almost impossible for a No. 2 hitter to go 6 for 12 in three games, yet not reach the plate with a runner in scoring position and, with the exception of hitting a home run, not score a run.
But, somehow Andruw Jones did it in the Arizona series, which speaks loudly of the lack of production from leadoff man Rafael Furcal and No. 3 hitter, Chipper Jones.
''That's the first time I can remember getting on base that many times and not scoring,'' said Jones, who leads the club with 86 runs. ''The second spot is about scoring runs. On-base percentage and scoring runs are really big things. If I get on base, I like to score.''

Describe the relationship between the narrator and his neighbor in Robert Frost's poem "The Mending Wall".
- print Print
- list Cite
The narrator and the neighbor in the poem "The Mending Wall" have a curious relationship based on proximity rather than amicability. They are not unfriendly towards each other, as shown in the passage: "I let my neighbor know beyond the hill, and on a day we meet to walk the line" (12-13), yet there is a barrier separating their personal connection, illustrated in the line "We keep the wall between us as we go" (15).
This physical wall between the narrator and the neighbor represents the relational disunion between the two figures perpetuated by the neighbor's predilection to maintain the detached, self-sufficient demeanor he inherited from the culture of his ancestry: "He will not go behind his father's saying" (43).
The narrator, however, is of a different mindset and does not like the barrier between him and his neighbor. He considers it unnecessary to retain the wall between them and wonders if there is some way to convince his neighbor to take it down. "If I could put a notion in his head. Why do (walls) make good neighbors?" (line 29).
Ultimately, however, the narrator realizes the "wall" keeping him from a true relationship with his neighbor cannot be removed except by mutual agreement.
There is a melancholy air to the conclusion of the poem in which the neighbor repeats, "Good fences make good neighbors" (line 44). It seems unlikely that the narrator and neighbor will ever achieve the genuine friendship for which the narrator yearns because the neighbor is uninterested in the possibility of such a bond.
Through this poem's narrator, Frost, a native New Englander, ruminates on the nature of fences in life, beginning with the springtime ritual by two New England farmers to repair the stone wall that divides their property after wintertime. The spring thaw has caused the ground to swell, exerting pressure on the wall that results in some of the rocks coming loose from the structure. The last section of the poem focuses most apparently on the relationship between the narrator and his neighbor; when the narrator begins wondering aloud if a wall is really necessary, the neighbor responds only with "Good fences make good neighbors," frustrating the narrator, who decides that he is dealing with an "old-stone savage" who will only repeat yet again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

So, Coleen Nolan has made her views clear about her home town of Blackpool, and been hammered for being honest. The place HAS become a cesspit compared to what it used to be. Here's what I wrote about it in my autobiography:
My least favourite seaside resort, and one which in recent years I have visited only out of sheer necessity. In comparison with Berck, it is a shit-hole!
I hasten to say, however, it was not always thus—and parts of the town, especially Lytham St Annes, are very nice, its people likewise. I'm referring to the commercial centre—the seemingly endless row of amusement arcades and greasy spoons, and the sea-front. When I was small there was no place like Blackpool. I holidayed here regularly, sometimes twice a year either with my parents or with Aunty Edna and Uncle Harry. The air was salty but healthy, the entertainment first-class. The big stars of the Fifties and Sixties often eschewed London and even Las Vegas to perform in Blackpool, and I saw them all: Joan Regan, George Formby, Morecambe & Wise, Ruby Murray and David Whitfield, La Esterella, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd and Matt Monro were just a few. I loved riding the trams—seeing the Illuminations, then the best in the world—the trips to Fleetwood and Cleveleys. I went back there a couple of years ago to make a television documentary with the comedian Frank Skinner about George Formby, and the buildings looked like they hadn't had a lick of paint since I sang there at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in 1973. As for the tourists: Blackpool has become a haven for hen and stag-parties, oiks, binge-drinkers and rebel-rousers, a puerile hell-hole where decent families no longer feel safe and comfortable. The beach is a rubbish-infested tip, and I wouldn't swim in that sea to save my life. The pavements late at night are more often than not vomit-spattered when you're making your way back to your hotel, and no one seems to be in any hurry to clean up the mess. Of the town-centre cafés, the least said the better. They once served wholesome food in Blackpool. Now, unless you're an aficionado of stodgy pies, half-cooked sausages or greasy chips, if you want to eat decently and keep everything down, you're better off trying to catch a seagull!

For me, Passover time is a gourmet adventure. It's a time to get back to basics. Being a chef, I have learned how to make something from nothing and that is what I pass onto my students at the Jerusalem Culinary Institute.
Before we get to the recipes, here are a few guidelines and tips that will make Passover a more enjoyable experience, without getting stressed and feeling that the holiday is just one big cooking chore with never-ending meals.
First, get organized! Preparing for Passover is exhausting. The cleaning is intense and tiring, the shopping is challenging and expensive, and the cooking is time consuming and difficult. The only way I've found to stay on top of the exhaustion is to do a little at a time. If weeks before the holiday, you make a time chart to organize your tasks by day and time, you stand a better chance of having a pleasant Pesah prep experience.
Learn from experience. Keep your Passover shopping list and your Passover menus and recipes every year. You can save them on your computer or printed out in a notebook. Only keep the recipes that worked well!
Keep it simple. The Seder is a big event in itself. There will be a lot of action at the table. Your guests will drink wine and eat from the Seder plate before they even start to eat the meal. Your menu can be traditional and simple. There is no need to overdo it.
Prepare ahead of time. Choose recipes that can be made in advance. It's best to do as little cooking as possible the day of the Seder. Setting the table, preparing the Seder plate, getting the family dressed and cooking the food that must be made that day will keep you busy enough.
Avoid the rush and shop early. Clean your freezer first and then stock it with meat, poultry and fish. If you need any new cooking utensils or items, buy them early too. This will help spread out Passover expenses and save you shopping time closer to the holiday.
Buy economically. Don't buy too many processed Passover foods like cookies and cereals. They are very expensive and no one will want to eat them after the holiday. If you run out of these items during the holiday week, you can go back to the store to buy more. And your kids might even surprise you by eating fresh fruit instead of processed snacks.
Start cooking early. Passover cooking takes time. Pesah restrictions mean ingredients, cooking utensils, pots and pans and even the layout of your kitchen will be new. You may have to think twice about where you put that one good Pesah knife. You might have used that big pot for the cauliflower, and now you have nowhere to put your soup. I usually start cooking two or three days before the Seder.
Remember the real goal of Passover. With all the work you're doing, it is important to stay focused on what is really important. The food is important, but your guests are actually more likely to be affected by your mood. While preparing for the Seder, stay focused on the goal of arriving at the Seder table feeling rested, calm, and happy.
Potato Gnocchi with Garlic Cream Sauce
• 4 potatoes, washed, peeled, and quartered
• Salt and ground white pepper
• 1 egg, lightly whisked
• 1½ cups potato flour
• Potato starch, to dust
Add enough water to a saucepan to reach a depth of 1.2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Place potato in a metal steaming basket. Place steamer in saucepan (make sure base of steamer doesn't touch the water). Steam, covered, for 15 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a bowl and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the egg and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Add half the potato flour and stir until combined. Add the remaining potato flour, in 2 more batches, until well combined and a firm dough forms. (If dough is too soft, add more potato flour.) Turn onto a lightly (potato) floured surface and knead until smooth. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll 1 portion into a 1 inch diameter log about 11 inches long. Use a lightly (potato) floured knife to cut into 1 inch pieces. Repeat with remaining dough. Lightly (potato) flour your hands and roll each piece of dough into a ball. Use your thumb to roll each ball over a (potato) floured fork. Place on a tray.
Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add one quarter of gnocchi (drop onto base of pan in a single layer) and cook for 3 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to drain and transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining gnocchi.
Garlic Cream Sauce:
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• Dash salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
In a small saucepan, saute garlic in a small amount of butter until soft, but not brown, for about a minute. Add the heavy cream, bring to a simmer. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer, reduce and become thicker, for about 10 minutes. Serves four.
Red Tuna with Broccoli and Spring Onions
• 2 lbs red tuna fillet, skinned and cut into 4 pieces
• 1½ cups broccoli, divided into small florets
• 6 scallions, sliced into 2 inch lengths
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1 tablespoon of paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 teaspoon minced sage
• Salt and pepper to taste
Season tuna pieces with salt, pepper and paprika. Put 1 teaspoon olive oil and nonstick cooking spray in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna fillets and sauté on both sides for a total of 6 to 8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and it flakes with a fork. Remove the tuna from the skillet, set aside and keep warm.
In a pot of boiling water, add the broccoli and boil for 1 minute. Add the scallions and boil 1 more minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. In a bowl, mix together the broccoli, scallions and chopped tomato. Combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil with lemon juice and garnish with lemon slices, garlic and sage. In the skillet where you cooked the tuna, add the vegetables and oil and lemon juice mixture. Heat for 1 minute. To serve, set the tuna on a plate. Top with the vegetables and pour any remaining pan juices on top, serves four.
Eggplant and Beef Rollatini with Tomato Sauce
• 24 plum tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 tablespoon salt
• Large eggplants, peeled and sliced ¼ inch lengthwise
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 lbs ground beef
• 1 large onion, minced and sautéed
• 8 eggs, whole
• 1 tablespoon salt
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a sharp paring knife, score the bottoms of the tomatoes with an x. Blanch the tomatoes for about 10 seconds until the skin begins to fall off. Remove immediately and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
Chop the tomatoes fine. Heat a large heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add onions and cook until they begin to soften. Add tomatoes and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cover. Cook over low heat for 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally. Place eggplant on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with oil and season with salt.
Bake in a 400˚ oven for about 15 minutes, until soft. In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients. Work together using your hands until the meat mixture thickens and the egg is incorporated into it, about 3 minutes. Place some meat filling onto a slice of eggplant and roll over. Place seam side down in a greased baking pan. Pour tomato sauce over rolled eggplant and bake covered in a 350˚ oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serves ten.
Sweet Potato Passover Canelloni
• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 3/4 cup diced apple (skin on)
• 3 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, half grated and half shaved
• ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
•Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• Vegetable-oil cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon walnut oil
• 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Preheat oven to 375˚. Wrap 1 sweet potato in parchment, and then in foil. Pierce several times with a fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350˚.
Peel remaining sweet potatoes. Cut potatoes lengthwise into very thin slices until you have 30 slices. Trim each to a 2 by 4-inch rectangle. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half the sweet potato slices, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, place slices on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Repeat.
Remove peel from baked sweet potato, and puree flesh in a food processor until smooth. Add cottage cheese, and puree until smooth. Transfer potato-cheese mixture to a large bowl. Stir in apple, chives, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place 1 heaping tablespoon filling in center of a sweet potato slice, and roll up. Place, seam side down, in dish. Repeat. (Finished product can be refrigerated, covered, overnight; bring to room temperature before baking.)
Brush oil over cannelloni. Bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with walnuts and shaved Parmesan. Serves six.

Recipe for Prosforo (Church Bread)
5 cups of strong (bread) flour
3 cups (roughly) of warm water
1 teaspoon of salt
Fresh brewer's yeast, about the size of an almond (or a packet of quick yeast)
A little sugar to get the yeast started.
Dissolve the yeast in a half a cup of warm water. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar. Make a well in the flour and add the water and yeast. Mix and gradually and add the rest of the flour until you have a dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead well. If you require more water, simply moisten your fists and continue to knead until the extra moisture has been absorbed and the dough is the right texture.
Shape the dough into a round and place it in a baking tray, preferably a round one with a little room to let it expand. If you haven't got one, just form it by hand. The shape's not really that important. Dust it well with flour, dust the special wooden seal with flour and then press the seal really well onto the surface of the dough, so that it'll still be visible even after the dough's risen. To free the seal without spoiling the effect, raise it gently on one side to allow air in and it should come away cleanly.
Cover and set to rise in a warm place. The old way of testing when it was ready was to poke it with a finger. If the dough rose again, it was ready.
Before baking, dust off the excess flour with a little brush. Place in a pre-heated, medium oven (180 degrees C/ 350 F) for 45 mins. to an hour, depending on your oven. When it's done, it'll sound hollow when tapped. Although it's hard to get wrong, since it's very basic baking, you should bear in mind that if it's burnt it can't be used.

Thank you for your sweet comments on my last Bento~
It's been a while again… My stay in Italy was a big fail. Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy my last days of freedom nevertheless.
Nina & I on the Italian side of the Splügen pass
Yesterday we went to a theme park or more exactly the only theme park that is reachable from Switzerland in a reasonable time, Europa Park! We couldn't have picked a better day to go there. It started raining cats and dogs pretty soon and one of the main roller coasters called "Blue Fire" failed… but I'm not that keen on the hardcore roller coasters anyway.
So yepp, I was totally soaked after approximately one hour but that didn't keep me from enjoying funny rafting and other aquatic activities.
Wodan Timbur Coaster, it's the first time I've been on a wooden coaster and the feeling was great! Totally different from the steely ones..
The last time I went to Europa Park was over a year ago but this time I only went with Silvankun.
Honestly it must have been quite boring for him because I'm still a noob at riding roller coasters.. Next time I'm bringing along my fearless friend B. who would push me to go on all the rides I'm afraid of!! Do you enjoy roller coasters or are you afraid of the speed, hight and weird movements? I mean the really badass ones with a looping of course and not the spinnning tea cups…
Read on to see more pictures~
The good thing about the bad weather was that there weren't many people and we didn't had to wait in line for too long but next time I would definitely prefer nice weather.
That's it for now and honestly I don't know what do blog next about but I hope I can find some inspiration in the next days. Maybe when my room is finally finished I'll feel more like blogging again! And obviously I'm going to show you some glimpses of it.
