Nashville --- The Tennessee State University women's basketball team went down to the wire in a hard-fought season-opening win over a feisty Cumberland University team, 52-49, Friday night in the Gentry Center.
TSU improved to 1-0 while CU fell to 3-1 on the season.
Simone Hopes led TSU with 14 points and just missed a double-double with eight rebounds. Chelsea Hudson also registered eight rebounds to go with seven points for the Lady Tigers.
Cumberland's Jessica Pace and Briannica Tye each tallied 11 points to lead the Bulldogs. Pace also registered a game-high nine boards.
It was a slow start for both teams as the score was only 2-1, in favor of the visitors, at the 16:09 mark. Cumberland, however, would quickly take control of the game after nailing three straight triples to go up, 13-3.
The TSU offense finally showed a little life after Simone Hopes connected in the paint to snap a four-minute skid.
Over the next several possessions, the Lady Tigers outscored the Bulldogs, 10-2, to pull within two.
TSU briefly took the lead, 21-19, before going into halftime trailing CU, 24-22.
In the second half, the teams traded buckets as the score wavered back and forth. With 11:06 on the clock, TSU had a slight, 35-34, lead when a score by Avery Jones put the Lady Tigers on top, 37-34.
The see-saw battle continued over the next several minutes as neither team was able to pull away. A three-point play by Simone Hopes gave TSU a, 43-39, lead but CU responded with four unanswered to pull even with 4:48 remaining in the game.
With the game winding down, Cumberland used three free-throws to capture a, 49-46, lead with 1:31 on the clock. On the next possession, Rachel Allen scored before finding Destiney Gaston in the paint on the next trip down to put TSU up, 50-49.
The Bulldogs missed on their next shot attempt and were forced to foul with 25.8 seconds left. After TSU split on the freebies, Cumberland had another opportunity to take the lead.
CU, however, missed two close range shots and Simone Hopes came away with the rebound. Hopes was fouled and made 1-of-2 to give the Lady Tigers a slight, 52-49, advantage with 5.1 seconds remaining.
Cumberland had a chance for one last play but the three-point attempt was off the mark.
TSU struggled shooting the ball tonight, only knocking down 33.3 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from the charity stripe but the Lady Tigers recorded 16 steals in the contest.
The Lady Tigers return to action on Monday, Nov. 12 at South Alabama. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. in the Mitchell Center.

A winner was selected from 175 designs submitted by 66 freelance designers.
Unusual Wedding Rings and More
Unusual Wedding Rings and More offers more than just wedding rings. Most importantly we take just as much pride and care in our fine jewelry selections as we do our wedding bands. We sell a selection of anniversary bands, earrings, pendants and more. We are experienced, knowledgeable and have been in the business for 30 years. We compete against "mall jewelry stores" and want to be remembered for our caring and knowledge - not selection or sleek radio ads. See our picture attached- knowledgeable, elegant and caring.
We are moving from the diamond district in NYC to a geographically smaller area - we want to stand out, be distinctive and classy. We serve both the younger (soon to be married) market but also sell other types of jewelry. We pride ourselves in custom designed jewelry at affordable prices. So we are entering a new market, new log, new website and need to make a lasting first impression.
We need a logo that retains the good parts of our existing logo (see attached) but has a new refreshing look for our new store. We believe life is full of unforgettable moments (just like Pandora): http://www.pandora.netof /en-US like the class of http://www.tiffany.com but would like to incorporate some strong imagery into our logo (not just text). We want to be very approachable to our clients. We like the playfulness of: http://caralyndon.com/. Blue Nile feels good to us - the tag line works well - but may feel a little too sophisticated. http://www.jamesallen.com/ seems close to what we are looking for but like the strong but classy look of http://www.ice.com/.
Colors we like: #E6C687, blue like ice.com, #D22B12, black, gold
Text should include: "Unusual Wedding Rings" but need to convey that we do more than wedding rings.

Give Obama Another Term: Get Out And Vote
Four years ago this month, I had the good fortune of landing exclusive interviews with Democratic presidential candidate, then-Sen. Barack Obama, and the Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The McCain interview was the first known time that a Republican presidential nominee had agreed to an interview with a gay publication, the Washington Blade - considered then, as it is now, America's "gay newspaper of record."
With the 2008 presidential election season in full swing, I was able to ask both men their positions on such important issues as "Don't Ask Don't Tell," the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the long-stalled (and still pending) Employment Non-Discrimination Act, hate crimes legislation and the debate around comprehensive sex education programing in schools. The approach was to provide a list of questions so that we could run the articles in a Q&A format. To their credit, both camps provided straightforward, honest answers to the questions.
Things have changed a lot in four years. I am no longer with the aforementioned media company, so my approach to this subject doesn't need to be as neutral as it was back then. That means that I can freely state my personal opinion about which candidate I believe would be the best person to be our next president and why.
That said, I can proudly say that this year, I'm supporting the current president of the United States, Barack H. Obama, for a second term over Gov. Mitt Romney. I have a couple reasons for doing this, which I believe make a lot of sense. Is wanting a president who is on record as saying that he and his wife have "many openly gay and Lesbian friends and colleagues" or who personally believes in pursuing policies that "treat all of us, regardless of identity or background, with dignity, equality and respect" asking too much?
I am sure that some may disagree, and I would encourage those individuals to share their perspectives, as I believe respectful debate is a good thing, particularly when we're talking about something as important as who's going to lead our country as president for the next four years.
President Obama deserves a second term because of the strong support he's provided to the LGBT community. There's been much debate over this, but I believe he's lived up to the promises he made to LGBT Americans during the 2008 campaign-and then some.
He successfully pushed through the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." Today, gay and Lesbian military personnel serve openly, and consensus has built that our armed forces' moral is stronger for it. The Obama administration has refused to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, The president has come out forcefully for same-sex marriage, and the Democratic Party's platform reflects his view.
Many, however, continue to criticize the president for the perception that he was too slow in demonstrating his support for the LGBT community. Even if this were a valid criticism, I would answer, "Who cares?" The fact is, he did it; and because of this, I believe that all LGBT Americans should show up in force at the polls to support him.
Not only that, but the next president is likely to face filling two or three vacancies to the U.S. Supreme Court. This fact that he will be suggesting these appointments to the Senate is sometimes overshadowed by our day-to-day concerns, but the power of the executive branch to appoint Supreme Court justices is one of the major ways in which a president can affect how Americans live for decades after his presidential term ends. The have been just over 150 nominations submitted to the Senate for confirmation over the entire course of U.S. history. The appointments are vitally important.
President Obama has made two solid appointments to the court to date. Even though we do not know for sure how Justices Sotomayor and Kagan will ultimately rule on any same sex marriage case that may come before the court, chances are good that they will support marriage equality. I would argue that appointments by a President Romney would be much less likely to follow this path - although in fairness, I do feel obligated to point out that appointees by Republican presidents have taken a position in favor of LGBT rights, i.e., Justices Kennedy and Souter. Also, past GOP appointees have sometimes turned out to be more liberal in their views than expected. Chief Justice Earl Warren (appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower), Justice John Paul Stevens (appointed by President Gerald Ford) and especially Justice David Souter (appointed by President George H.W. Bush) are examples.
While I can't go into great depth on such a complicated subject here, believe me, I have considered the topic at considerable length over this non-ending election season, and I have concluded that it is not a difficult decision at all for LGBT voters this year. President Obama deserves our enthusiastic support for a second term.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 63 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Angel Song Music
Angel Song Music is the new project of 2 of the top music producers for film & television. Both partners have produced & composed music for some of the biggest movies & tv shows (The Simpsons, Star Trek, The Passion of the Christ, The Scorpion King, Disney, just to name a few), and are shifting their focus into the world of video game music / soundtrack composition & production. The website is still in progress, but the main design can be seen here: http://www.AngelSongMusic.com
The gaming industry (not necessarily "gamers", but people in the industry of creating & producing the hottest new video games), the entertainment industry, video game producers, video game designers, directors, etc. A younger, cutting-edge crowd
The main goal of the logo is to tie in 3 things - video games, music, and angels. Obviously, those are 3 diverse ideas, but the producers in the company want to see what all you talented designers can come up with! If you have not already, go to the current website - http://www.AngelSongMusic
The goal right now is to try to make the logo work with the current header on the website, so your design has to some how tie right into the header, or if you're really good, you'll come up with a logo that ties into a different type of header that can replace the current one. The producers like the header, but if can create a better one, feel free to do so.
Some ideas that the producers would like to see are as follows:
- The words Angel Song Music with a video game controller in the background (maybe faded out or really subtle)
- A music note or something that looks like sheet music in the background
- Maybe angel wings somewhere in there?
**Most Importantly** Be creative!!!

The Lipscomb women's tennis team closed out its fall season this past weekend when they competed in the "June Stewart Invitational" hosted by Vanderbilt University.
Head coach Andrew Harris said as the Lady Bisons head into the offseason the focus will be placed on doubles play.
"Being the last tournament for this fall, I was certainly eager to see how the progression was in terms of match play and seeing what adjustments our ladies have made through the past couple of months," Harris said. "Through the doubles our aggressiveness will continue to become a focus and making sure that we are finishing points at the net and not becoming hesitant.
"We want to make sure that we encourage their aggressiveness and not become timid. I thought we did a better job of that as the weekend progressed."
The Lady Bisons went 0-5 in doubles during the tournament, falling to teams from University of Memphis, Miami and North Carolina at Asheville.
On the singles side, the Lady Bisons posted three wins out of their 12 matches.
Freshman Deahna Welcher recorded a win in the consolation bracket, easily defeating Belmont's Laura Stack 6-0, 6-1. In her first-round consolation match, freshman Jenny Borck posted a three-set win over UNC-Ashville's Amryn Soldier, winning 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
Senior Sam Bowman also picked up a consolation win, defeating Belmont's Spencer Anne Edwards 6-2, 6-0.
Harris said the focus for singles play this offseason will be on managing momentum shifts.
"In terms of singles, continuing to recognize key moments in matches where momentum is in the balance and taking control of those points will be key. Deahna Welcher bounced back on Sunday with her win over Belmont and so did Sam Bowman by ending her match on a strong note. With Jenny Borck and Alyssa Bellini, they both had solid singles matches on Saturday.
"We are looking forward to the next few weeks and going back to the drawing board and working on these items before January gets back."
The Lady Bisons will enter the offseason for the rest of the semester before starting up competition in January.

For the 3rd grade St. Patrick's Day class party I offered to bring in green jello. But not just jello. Knox Blocks. Who remembers them as a kid? I do, and loved them. They are sturdier than the jello jigglers you may know of these days. This time I thought I'd try them with a cream layer in them. I call them Magical Shamrocks. They are the easiest thing to make, and they set up pretty quickly, but I kept mine overnight. Just think of the different flavors and shapes you could make these into. Raspberry, strawberry or cherry hearts for Valentines, grape, lime or strawberry for Easter eggs, cherry or lime for Christmas time...
As I was cutting these out the next morning, I kept catching myself nibbling on the scraps, oooh they were good. I am not crazy about that gelatin stuff, but these were good. My kids loved them. I don't know how they went over at school, since my little girl was sick the day of her party, but most of what I sent was gone when I got the dish back.
You may want to double this for a class of 24+ if you use 2-3" cutters.
Layered Jello Knox Blocks
from Group Recipes
4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
3 pkgs (3oz) Lime Jello
3 Cups boiling water
1/2 pt whipping cream
In large heatproof bowl mix unflavored gelatin with Jello.
Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved -- about a minute or so.
Stir in whipping cream.
Pour into a 13x9 inch pan, cover and chill until firm, about four hours or overnight.
The cream will rise during chilling to form a top layer.
To serve, cut into squares or rectangles of desired cookie cutter shapes and size for finger food treats. Place each piece between cut wax paper, and keep chilled until serving.

Three years ago my husband Larry, our two sons (then six and four), and I moved to a small town in central Nebraska with a clear idea of exactly what we were going to do once we got there: live a back-to-basics life while we supported ourselves by operating an established garbage service that we had made arrangements to take over.
Imagine our distress, then, when—with the family transplanted, winter setting in, and our bank account reading absolute zero—we learned the other party was calling off our business deal! To say that our life looked like a nightmare at that point would be a gross understatement.
Fortunately for us, however, Larry is no quitter. He's a strong man with a head of curly red hair, a full red beard, and a mind that is just as filled with fiery determination. "Well," he said, "if our first opportunity has flown the coop, another one is just as surely waiting for us to find it. As a matter of fact, I believe we'll all be happier if we just buckle down and build our own garbage route from scratch by ourselves anyway."
The next day, armed with a paper full of figures, my husband visited the local banker and persuaded him to loan us enough money ($800) to see our proposed new business through its first few months. Then, with the grubstake and an old Chevy farm truck that we borrowed from Larry's parents, we set out to make that business a reality.
The Rules of Our Success
From the very first, we've operated our little enterprise strictly according to four guiding principles that we've never changed and never broken:
[1] We take on only as many accounts as Larry and I, together, can handle. We both have always felt that hired help would just be an unnecessary bother, complication, and drain on an operation that we prefer to run as a small family business. We are both bona fide MOTHER EARTH NEWS types. Our venture was never intended to earn "big" money. Instead, my husband and I want only enough cash coming in to give us financial security, support us comfortably (not elaborately), give us a maximum amount of time with each other and our boys, and guarantee us freedom from anyone else's time clock.
[2] We make do with the equipment we have on hand or that we can buy with the money we already have. (Example: A new truck would be nice right now, but we absolutely refuse to indebt ourselves the $10,000 or $15,000 it would cost.) Thanks to Larry's considerable mechanical ability, we've made this rule stick. We believe it's one of the biggest reasons we've been able to get ahead the way we have.
[3] We bill our customers monthly, and we personally collect quarterly from any patrons who don't send in their monthly payments. By adhering to this principle, we've prevented our accounts from building up large, overdue, difficult-to-pay, semi-annual or yearly bills, and have almost never been stuck by a real deadbeat.
[4] We find it much easier to handle all our expenses (such as daily landfill fees and gasoline bills) on a daily "pay as we go" basis, instead of letting them build up on monthly charge cards or charge accounts. This keeps us on an extremely rigid "we know exactly where we stand at all times" budget that has been invaluable in keeping us debt-free.
Hard Work Does the Job
Once Larry and I had agreed on our four basic, inflexible rules, we began. And, folks, all I can say is: Starting up our own business was HARD WORK (which, in the end, was worth every ounce of the effort we put into it).
Each morning, as soon as our first son Nubie was off to school, we piled little Andrew into the truck with an assortment of snacks and toys and began recruiting accounts throughout all the small towns and rural areas within a 40-mile radius of our home. Needless to say, we quickly learned to deal with county boards, village councils, hauling permits, licenses, bonds, inspections, and all the other small details that our business required us to cope with. Larry and I found that these bits of red tape were relatively easy to handle when we took them on one by one instead of trying to tackle 'em all in a single humongous lump.
Many of the people we approached, being "small-towners," had never had a regular garbage service offered to them before and were delighted that someone was taking on the job. (In all the recruiting we've done, we've never once met with a hostile attitude. When you meet people with a friendly and sincere proposition, you're bound to get a positive reaction.) And a substantial portion of the folks who initially turned us down soon got so used to seeing us make our rounds every week that they eventually signed up with us on their own.
Within three months of our start, we had 150 regular accounts. That tally had climbed to 230 by the end of our first year in business, and we reached our self-imposed "limit" of 300 customers long before the second year was over. We then stopped knocking on doors and cut our advertising down to one small ad in the local weekly newspaper. And believe it or not, folks, as we complete our third year of operation we're servicing 450 regular patrons, spread out over eight small towns, and we're busy all the time!
Our Pride and Joy
Now, as you probably can imagine, hauling that much garbage in an old farm truck (without a hoist yet) is out of the question for two people. So, as our business mushroomed (and, once again, with Dad Pace's help), we made a deal on a 1970 International, 13-yard, side-loaded, "real" garbage truck. The vehicle had been declared a "total loss" by an insurance company and we were able to buy it for only $1,000. Then we invested another $489 in a rebuilt transmission for the truck and looked forward to the day when we'd be able to repair the side-loader and put it into service.
Well people, Larry and I installed that silly transmission ourselves late one night during the spring of our first year of operation. I remember the evening well, because that was the night I converted myself into the world of "hells" and "damns" forever (putting a transmission in a truck is THE PITS!).
The next day, however, all the hard work we had done really was worth it and then some. Instead of picking, pulling, raking, tugging, and pushing tons of ashes and trash off the flatbed of the livestock truck we had been using, we simply raised the hatch on our new garbage hauler and let the blade roll back and effortlessly (for us) dump the whole load in minutes. Larry and I thought we had the world by the tail the first time we saw that happen!
The Dollars Do Mount Up ...
We charge a "regular" family $1.50 a month for once-a-month pickups, $3.50 for weekly service, and $4.25 for twice-weekly stops. Retired folks and single residents both produce less garbage than "regular" families, and for this reason both are charged somewhat less ($2.50 for once-a-week pickups, for instance, instead of $3.50). We have a sliding scale for commercial accounts, depending on volume and frequency of service.
Our business has been growing constantly since Day One, which makes it a little difficult to give you specific "averaged out" yearly earning figures for the operation—especially in its earliest days, when we were heavily supplementing the garbage route with odd hauling assignments and a part time night watchman's job. Remember, too, that our operating expenses run somewhat less than 25% of our gross, which means we net out a little over 75% of the total number of dollars that we handle.
When you keep all that in mind, it becomes more meaningful to learn that our trash route grossed about $6,600 (netted roughly $5,000) during its first year ... $16,000 ($12,000) on a schedule of four short workdays a week the second ... and $23,000 ($17,250)—counting extra hauling and the sale of scrap—when operated on a full five-days-per-week basis throughout most of year three.
... The "Side" Money and Benefits Can Be Great ...
I do want to take the time here to emphasize that the monthly payments we receive for our services add up to only the first of several ways we profit from our business. For instance, there are also the odd jobs (which mostly involve one form or another of hauling) that are offered to us nearly every day we're on the job. We've hauled everything from tree limbs to cast-iron bathtubs and, once, we even picked up over $300 by moving a lady to Omaha!
Actually, there's more of this kind of work going begging than we want to do and we always have a rotating list of customers waiting for us to get around to them. That list, of course, is just like money in the bank: Whenever one of us wants to pick up an extra twenty or thirty dollars on a Saturday, we just go down the lines to the next name and there it is! (The best deal of all is the owner of the local roofing company who pays us $15 a load to use our truck ... and he does all the work!)
We also put bonus bucks in our packets by recycling all the scrap metal (everything from small bolts to parts of old car bodies) that we find in our daily collections of garbage. This material is squirreled away and saved until the scrap market hits its yearly high (usually during the cold months) and then sold all at once to a salvage yard.
The prices we receive for our recycled metal vary considerably (not much for tin, a lot for copper) but any time we take in a load of anything we figure we'll average at least $100. (One load of aluminum cans recently enriched the bank account by over $400!)
We collect and sell newspaper and cardboard too, and the whole recycling end of our business is nearly 100% profit. This is "found" money, the cash we spend on the extravagant "extras" that everyone wants from time to time: a long-dreamed-of vacation for Larry; a new motorcycle and flying lessons for me; and bicycles, a go-cart, and a minibike for the boys. It's no wonder we all enjoy this end of our operation so much!
Yet another profitable offshoot of our basic garbage hauling business involves the buying and selling of "burn barrels." We purchase 55-gallon steel drums by the truckload for $2.00 apiece and then sell them to our customers for $5.00 each. Sure, it's a minor inconvenience to lug the containers around as we travel our route. But the sideline does provide our patrons with a needed service and we sell at least a half dozen of the barrels a week (which adds up to about one thousand extra dollars over the course of a year). Everyone involved, in short, benefits from the idea and we're going to continue offering the drums.
Probably the biggest side benefit of all that we realize from our garbage business is the incredible number of "finds" we pick up each week. Believe me, you'll never know what an affluent and wasteful nation we live in until you follow us around our route just once. The things that people discard as "useless" would make our pioneer parents weep!
Larry and I have furnished our home with perfectly good items that our customers have thrown away as "too old," "unstylish," or "too worn looking." That's how we got our stove, refrigerator, clocks, radios, lamps, electric can opener, and almost all our furniture … and we're proud of it. We figure we're way ahead of most of our contemporaries (whose furniture and appliances—which usually look no better than ours—seem to be accompanied by an endless stream of monthly installment payments). We consider it a blessing to be free of the "keep up with the Joneses" syndrome.
Still another "extra" that our business lavishes on us is the reoccurring opportunity it gives us to meet, become friendly with, and set up swaps with our customers. Larry hails from a long line of "horse-traders" and his best days are the ones in which he arranges a happy barter deal of some kind.
One of the older retired fellows on our route, for instance, needed our service but really couldn't afford a monthly garbage bill. He did, however, enjoy building some fine doghouses out of scrap lumber. You guessed it! All our dogs now live in snug, individual, paneled and shingled houses ... and we have one more regular stop where we both pick up the garbage and "shoot the breeze" a bit.
... And the Personal Satisfaction's Even Greater!
I suspect I could spend the rest of the day tellin' you how wonderful our little do-it-yourself business is and how much we love it. Let me cut myself short, though, by just sayin' that Larry, the boys, and I are rich. Not rich in actual dollars, of course, but rich in everything that really matters.
It's hard to define "wealth," you know, since everyone's ideas on the subject are really only matters of opinion anyway. But if anybody asked us, t reckon we'd all say that the Pace family is wealthy.
The four of us like to live so simply that we more or less feel the income we currently net from our garbage route is a downright luxurious amount of money. That—plus the cash we realize from al our sidelines added onto the money we save by raising a garden, keeping chickens, burning wood salvaged from our main business, etc.—certainly combine to give Larry, Nubie, Andrew, and me a feeling of great abundance and security.
And we have so much more too! For instance: the joy of providing ourselves with all this bounty while working strictly for ourselves, unpressured, and at our own pace.
Then too, there's all the time we have for each other. Except for the time they spend in school, Larry and I are always available to both our boys, and we're always available to each other: Yes, my husband and I work together—on our own and outdoors, no matter what the weather—every day. And, believe it or not, we get along famously! I guess when you constantly fight 200-pound burn barrels for a living, you don't have much yen to fight each other too!
So listen, folks: If you're ever in mid-Nebraska driving along Highway 30, and you spot a tall, skinny girl driving an old gray garbage truck, wave to the redhead riding on the side! And go ahead and stare! Beneath all that dirt and ashes, there are two more happy MOTHER EARTH NEWS readers just doin' their own thing!

It does not seem possible that we are halfway through the 2011 economic season. The first six months were a siege of black swans or unusual events ranging from oil issues creating social unrest in Egypt and Libya, to the unfortunate natural and nuclear disaster in Japan, and the constant threat of sovereign debt issues in Europe. Each event in itself and the cumulative impact has raised concern about the health of the U.S. and global economy.
The agricultural community is doing quite well because of the emerging nations' demand for food, fiber and fuel; continued growth in ethanol; low value of the dollar; and, of course, low interest rates. However, the general economy has severe headwinds. First, housing starts are only half the number of a normal market. This is due to inventory backlogs, but also the aftermath of the first-time homebuyers' incentives, high unemployment and the real income loss of purchasing power due to stagflation hitting the working sector.
Speaking of high unemployment, the reported rate is currently 9.1%. This represents the longest period in recorded history that unemployment has remained above 8%. Uncertainties in Washington on the political side, increased regulatory burdens and a movement toward automation by businesses have been the perfect brew for a jobless recovery.
Economic indicators such as the Purchasing Manager Index (PMI), the Conference Board's Leading Economic Index (LEI), and the LEI Diffusion Index are forecasters of the economy. They have been on a positive trend over the past 12 months, but the PMI has now been decreasing since March, and the LEI took a dip in April's monthly report, but rebounded in May. It will be interesting to determine if this is a short-term dip or if these indicators will continue on an erratic path throughout the summer and into the fall. Given this information, the Federal Reserve is likely to take a wait-and-see attitude concerning rate increases and other programs to stimulate the economy.
Overall, the economy would be graded a C, which at best is an inflated grade due to the programs used to jumpstart the recovery after the great recession. It should be an interesting summer and fall as we move into the national election cycle.

2011-09-21 / Opinion
Economic picture not so rosey
President Barack Obama has, despite his protestations, continued on the path of taking from the rich to give to the poor. His Robin Hood philosophy of leadership is wearing thin, and is an affront to all hard-working Americans, most who can see through his simplistic Rose Garden speeches.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and England's famously tough media tweaked Mitt Romney Thursday after the presumptive Republican presidential nominee suggested that London might not be ready for its Olympic moment.
"It's hard to know just how well it will turn out," said Romney, who ran the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. "There are a few things that were disconcerting: the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging."
Those comments prompted a quick rebuke from Cameron. "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world," Cameron told reporters after visiting the venues where the 2012 Summer Olympics will begin Friday. "Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere" — an apparent reference to Salt Lake City.
Local newspapers were equally tart.
The Daily Mail Online carried a headline, "Who invited him? US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney questions British public's appetite for the Games during visit to London."
The Telegraph wrote: "Mitt Romney questions whether Britain is ready for Olympic Games."
Mayor Boris Johnson of London also chimed in during a rally in Hyde Park, saying to the crowd of 60,000 people, "I hear there's a guy called Mitt Romney, who wants to know whether we're ready! Are we ready?" The Conservative leader was greeted with a hearty "Yes."
Romney's initial comments came Wednesday in London during an interview with NBC News, at the outset of a European and Middle East trip aimed at burnishing Romney's foreign affairs bona fides. Following the sharp retorts, Romney and Cameron met Thursday at No. 10 Downing Street, where both were more diplomatic.
"There are always a few very small things that end up going not quite right in the first day or so," Romney told British and US reporters as the gleaming black-and-brass door of No. 10 filled the background.
He said what he had seen of the Olympics preparation since arriving Wednesday morning demonstrated "imagination and forethought and a lot of organization."
Romney also repeated a comment he made earlier during a meeting with the Conservative Party Cameron's political counterpart, Labor Party leader Ed Miliband, whom Romney addressed as "Mr. Leader." That itself triggered questions about whether he knew Miliband's name.
Mistakes "get ironed out and then when the games themselves begin and the athletes take over, all the mistakes that the organizing committee – and I made a few – all of those are overwhelmed by the many things that the athletes carry out that capture the spirit of the Games," said Romney.
Cameron, who is viewed by some as a supporter of President Obama after lavishing praise on the incumbent Democrat earlier this year, later told reporters: "I felt a vote of confidence from what he said."
A professor at Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy said the controversy was being overblown.
"What he said were the various screw-ups were 'disconcerting.' If that's considered rude, God forbid that David Cameron watch 'The Daily Show,' " said Daniel Drezner, highlighting a recent episode of the comedy show that lambasted the problems with the London Games.
Drezner, who teaches international politics and statecraft at Tufts, also said Cameron "was far more rude, because he suggested Salt Lake City was 'in the middle of nowhere.' "
That comment triggered a humorous rebuttal from the spokesman for Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker.
"He can stop by any time," spokesman Art Raymond told BuzzFeed.com. "We'd love to have him and are happy to send a map so he doesn't run into any trouble locating the 'middle of nowhere.' "
Romney has long prided himself on his Olympics affiliation, which started in 1999 when he was lured from Boston-based Bain Capital to save the financially ailing Salt Lake City Games.
He attended the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and then each Olympics since — usually decked out in gear from the 2002 Games.
His wife, Ann, also is part owner of a horse competing in this year's Olympic dressage competition.
While there was some question about the cost of leaving the presidential trail for a foreign trip, Romney's aides say there never was a doubt about whether he would visit the London Games.
Even before the flap over his comments about London's Olympic preparedness, Romney's trip was off to a troubling start. On Wednesday, The Telegraph published an anonymous comment — attributed to one of Romney's foreign affairs advisers — that the Obama White House did not sufficiently appreciate the shared "Anglo-Saxon" heritage of the United States and Great Britain.
The remark was viewed as racially tinged, since Obama is the first black president of the United States. Romney disassociated himself from the remark Wednesday.
"We have a very special relationship between the United States and Great Britain. It goes back to our very beginnings, cultural and historical. But I also believe the president understands that," Romney said during the NBC interview.
During his stay in London, Romney will attend the Opening Ceremonies, as well as select sporting events and fund-raisers. He raised $2 million on Thursday, and told the crowd at one event that he would return the bust of the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the Oval Office. Obama replaced the bust, loaned to the United States after the 9/11 attack, with one of President Abraham Lincoln.
Besides meeting with Cameron and Miliband, the latter of whom twice lived in the Boston area as a child, Romney also met Thursday with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Foreign Secretary William Hague, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, and former prime minister Tony Blair.
In addition, Romney disclosed he received a briefing from Sir John Sawers, head of the country's top-secret MI6 intelligence agency. Revealing that he had such a meeting prompted even more negative headlines for Romney in Britain, where it is not considered good form to disclose the fact of such a high-level intelligence briefing.
Drezner said Romney is aiming to convince US voters that he can competently manage foreign affairs.Glen Johnson can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @globeglen.

2012 deer season Q&A
Even with fewer deer licenses available this year, tens of thousands of hunters are looking forward to Friday, Nov. 9 at noon when the regular deer gun season begins. No doubt the number of questions from deer hunters will remain high. Here's a few of the most common:
What licenses do I need for deer gun season?
A fishing, hunting, and furbearer certificate, the general game and habitat stamp or a combination license, and the deer license. Gratis license holders need only the gratis license.
I received a lottery license, and I own land in another unit. Can I hunt on my land in the other unit with my lottery license?
Only if the unit in which your land is located adjoins the unit for which you have the lottery license.
Can I use my first season license during the muzzleloader season?
No. The first season license may be used only for the regular deer gun season.
I can't find my deer license. What should I do?
You must obtain an application for a duplicate license from the Game and Fish Department — by calling (701) 328-6300 or printing it off the website at gf.nd.gov — or from a county auditor. Fill out the form, have it notarized and return it to the department along with a fee. You may not hunt without the deer license in your possession.
I shot a deer, but it is rotten. What can I do?
You must take possession of the animal by tagging it. A license only allows you the opportunity to hunt. It is not a guarantee to harvest a deer, or to the quality of the animal.
What should I do if I find a wounded deer?
Contact a game warden. Do not shoot the deer unless you want to tag it, or are instructed by the warden to do so.
Is camouflage blaze orange acceptable for the deer gun season?
No. You must wear both a hat and outer garment above the waistline totaling at least 400 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange.
I hunt with a bow. When do I have to wear orange?
During the regular deer gun season you must wear orange. During the muzzleloader season, however, bowhunters do not need to wear orange.
Can I hunt road rights-of-way?
Do not hunt on road rights-of-way unless you are certain they are open to public use. Most road rights-of-way are under control of the adjacent landowner and are closed to hunting when the adjacent land is posted closed to hunting.
Can I transport someone else's deer?
Only if you have a transportation permit from a game warden. The license holder, person transporting the animal, and the carcass must be presented to the game warden before the permit is issued.
Can I use a bow to fill my regular deer gun license?
Yes. You may use any legal firearm or bow during the regular deer gun season.
Can I carry both bow and gun afield during deer gun season if I have both licenses?
Yes, but only if you are going to fill your gun license. No firearms, except handguns, may be in the hunter's possession while hunting with a deer bow license. However, handguns may not be used in any manner to assist in the harvest of a deer with an archery license.
Above and beyond these questions, please put safety at the top of the priority list.
Leier is a biologist with the Game and Fish Department. He can be reached by email: email@example.com.

Electronic manufacturers run the gamete from small shops specializing in purpose-built, single-use and prototype devices to large billion-dollar behemoths churning out TVs, computers and MP3 players for the global market. Those companies that fall in between include chip foundries that make core components, those that make precision equipment such as medical diagnostic devices and certified equipment manufacturers such as slot machines and voting systems.
Regardless of the type of electronics manufacturer, each needs excellent supply chain management (SCM). Many electronic components are made by a single or small number of suppliers. If there is a supply chain disruption, production can be limited by materials on-hand. Electronic parts catalogs, order entry, order placement, and receiving are the most important modules of an electronics manufacturer's management system. Manufacturing planning and scheduling are also important; these systems must also produce compliance reports as required. The key aspect is to have systems that can integrate directly with suppliers' accounting systems to confirm stock status, shipping times, order status and current pricing.
General ledger, accounts receivable and payroll are standard. As part of supply chain management, accounts payable may link directly to supplier's accounting systems for electronic payments. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, integrating all aspects of managing operations, are common in electronics manufacturers but best-of-breed solutions are used as well. On-premises systems are the rule, but cloud-based manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly popular.
To address their unique business requirements, electronic manufacturers should evaluate the following functions:
|Supply chain management
|Electronics manufacturers need transparency into suppliers' systems. Order status, supplier inventory, current pricing, order entry and payment can all be integrated between supplier and manufacturer.
|Make/buy reporting
|Many electronics systems require subassemblies. Make/buy reporting applies job estimating to subassemblies to see if it is more profitable to make or buy components. Advanced systems will factor in time to build or buy as well as cost.
|Process planning reporting
|In order to estimate and track jobs, the process for each step for fabrication must be planned and documented. The process planning reports track the development of the process plan for each product.
|Material supplier planning
|Part of make/buy process, material supplier planning assigns a bill of materials to each subassembly. This also allows make/buy decisions to be based on current market prices for material and labor for each product and production run.
|Component substitution
|If a preferred component is not available, the inventory system should provide any alternative components. The runs with alternative components should be tracked for recall management.
|Workload planning
|As part of the manufacturing planning process, shop floor managers can adjust the workload to leverage the most expensive equipment to depreciate or minimize usage of the most expensive to run. Managers can also manage workloads of shop workers, taking into account workers' preferences.
|Engineering change management
|The system should track engineering changes and their impact on manufacturing time and cost-per-unit. It should also be easy to enter the changes into the system so that the changes can flow to other products and the overall production schedule.
|Serial number management
|Serial numbers must be linked to specific products, including any variations such as color options. The numbers must be tied to production runs as part of recall management.
|Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
|Any electronic device sold in the United States that emits radio frequency interference (RFI) must be registered with the FCC. The system should produce the information required to complete the registration process and provide updates if the design changes.
|EPA compliance reporting
|Electronics manufacturers are subject to the EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule Subpart I. The system should prepare compliance reports as required.
|Consumer labeling management
|Electronics manufacturers are required to provide labeling for various countries and states, such as Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approvals and California Proposition 65 warnings. The system should track which standards apply for each product and provide labeling specifications as required.
|Certified design management
|If the manufacturer produces certified electronics, the system should provide compliance reports for the certification authority. It should also enforce the stipulations of the certification, such as no component substitutions or no changes in software.
|Recall management
|The system should support product recalls by identifying which runs are affected and which customers received them.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

"Braised Seitan with Brussles, Kale, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes" from Veganomicon.
GREAT flavor. I used the Seitan Cutlet recipe for the seitan, and I must say it did NOT work out. Musty and I are both big seitan fans, but we ended up picking it all out. It was totally mushy and just had an unforgiveably gross texture. I am sorry to report that it was deemed unusable in the end. All the same, I give the Brussel Sprout recipe a definite thumbs up. I will certainly make it again, though I can't say the same thing for the cutlets!
Here's a nice big feast we had recently. One thing you'll be seeing a lot more of here is food I cook for my grandpa. He is a delight to cook for... very agreeable and always hungry. My cousin and I made up a big meal so that we could have one last big meal together before she and her husband had to go back to Florida. I made the *giant* double batch of the "Chickpea Quinoa Confetti Casserole" from "Eat Drink and Be Vegan." I added in a handful of sliced green olives which was nice. This was a simple, easy and tasty recipe. I definitely recommend making the "Balsamic Maple Sauce" to go along with it, as she suggests - it's a lovely combo!
This week, my mom was elected Vice Mayor. Santa Cruz is not a huge town, and being vice mayor doesn't actually give her any more special powers than she already has as a member of the City Council, but it's still special! Of course Musty and I showed up to help celebrate. The party was at a new restaurant in downtown Santa Cruz called "Vida."
Let me tell you about my Bread Rule.
When I eat out, I really put a lot of weight on the quality of the bread. In fact, I have been known to leave a restaurant before ordering after having a bite of their sub-standard bread. If the bread is good... it's a good sign. Bad bread... a big bummer. It's the first impression they give you, they ought to care about it... that's my rule.
So, Vida scored a big big score of optimism. GOOD bread. I was so pleased. I love bread so much, as though it were my first born. I love it so much that I rarely allow myself to buy it. I have no self-control in the presence of bread. We had to get a second platter of it that night. And I had a wonderful salad! Chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, spices, a light vinagrette, on a bed of local lettuce. LOVE it. We'll definitely go back there again. The service was great and they were very helpful about getting me yummy vegan options. This was the small version of the salad, but I could have gotten a large too.
GUAVAS! What fun. I don't think I've ever even had a guava before. Yesterday morning I read an article about all the great antioxidants in guavas and thought to myself "Hm. Guavas?" Then, one of my sweet yoga students brought me a big bag of guavas!! How delightful. I guess she's got a super productive tree, but doesn't really like them. Well, I do! I've been gobbling them up. Can you cook with guavas?
This one's really old! From the week before Thanksgiving. My friend Sandy had a Second Annual Friends Thanksgiving. It's a chance for us to celebrate Thanksgiving together with our friends. There was tons of food and plenty of vegan choices for me. My friends are so kind and loving. This festivity ended up being the day after my grandmother's service. I was tired, and also had many family members in town... so I didn't bring anything. Still my friend Kristy made sure that one of her scrumptious pies was vegan, and as you can see, I had lots to eat! thanks, special friends. I felt especially grateful for having such love and support in my life.
Last week we went out with our fun friends Laurie and Gil. We ended up at Jumping Monkey, a simple but wonderful little South Indian restaraunt in Santa Cruz. All veg, mostly all vegan, totally delicious. I had a dosa, a small bowl of sambar, and a super yummy samosa. If you are ever in Santa Cruz, I *highly* recommend it. I love this spot. I was happy because Musty liked it too... which he didn't last time. So maybe he'll go back with me!
Here's a great dinner we had this week - it's our version of Thanksgiving Leftovers. I made some barley, reheated the extra tamale fillings, some leftover blackbeans, roasted some butternut squash, and made some brocolli. I tell you, it was as good at Thanksgiving! What a feast!
This was our wonderful dinner last night. "Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Seed Rice Paper Rolls" from Veganomicon. I made both the soy dipping sauce and the cranberry-chili sauce. Wow! These were fantastic. A light, healthy, filling, and delicious meal. Musty was nuts for these! I had all the ingredients on hand, because I had intended to make these for Thanksgiving. But as you know, I lost a couple hours in the emergency room... so these were easily deprioritized. :) Anyhow, I was grateful to have all the ingredients around for such a tasty meal.
And Ouila! We arrive at tonight's dinner. This one was really for Musty, but I enjoyed it too. I found these adorable little circle pastas at Trader Joes the other day. I cooked 'em up and added the TJ Organic Tomato Basil Sauce. That's good stuff, for store-bought sauce. Pasta with red sauce is Musty's #1 meal. I also made a big tasty batch of braised collards, and a big bowl of roasted butternut squash.
Grandpa Pat's Roasted Butternut Squash:
My grandmother came up with this simple, healthy, and tastebud-freaking-tasty way of making butternut squash. Cut off as much squash as you want to roast. Peel it. Cut it into 3/4"-1" rounds or half moons. Lightly spray with a tiny bit of oil. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 F. Flip over, Bake another 20 minutes. Check and see how they are doing. Flip again as needed, until both sides are beginning to caramelize. Eat. Freak out.
It's that good.
Well, I almost made it. Now we're 15 minutes out of VeganMoFo. Hope you made your way through this megapost. I think the stitches come out tomorrow... so typing will be easier! Hoorah! Happy 1st day of December to you all.

It's Okay to Love Technology
Also posted on Spencer's Scratch Pad
I wrote this after reading a thought-provoking post on the Spicy Learning Blog.
When I first began blogging, I felt like a lone Luddite in a techno-wilderness. While writing about the greatest "killer apps" (sadly, not nun-chucks), I wrote about the need for technology criticism. I'd cringe about a glassy-eyed description of the future class erasing the boundaries of time and space.
I thought I was alone.
I wasn't.
It was pure arrogance on my part and I soon ran into Doyle's Science Teacher blog and saw the value of understanding the physical world. Using a more poetic, honest and narrative format, he managed to speak what I felt.
So, I wasn't exactly a trailblazer as much as a tech critic on the wrong trail. However, I've noticed that it's become commonplace now to put pedagogy above technology. I constantly read retweeted lines about why the real magic is the learning and the students and the thinking.
And yet . . .
To say, "You shouldn't love technology, you should love pedagogy," is akin to saying, "You should love the points you made about Sufjan's newest album" rather than saying, "I really love getting a chance to sip coffee and have a conversation with Quinn."
I expect an author to love his or her ultra-trendy Moleskin or retro typewriter or, God forbid, brand-new Mac Book. Similarly, I expect a guitarist to appreciate his sing-string companion. I expect any master of any art to love his or her tools.
The point is to get past the novelty phase and love the medium, knowing all of its faults and understanding its limitations. I want to be grateful for the medium, knowing its power and potential without trying to convince myself that the tool will not change me in both good and bad ways.

Reality Hunger, A Manifesto by David Shields explores sometimes directly the implications and widespread changes that technology has brought about. It's a good read and beware, it provokes the weary, the rigid and validates/vindicates many of us.ReplyDelete
Another suggestion in regards to technology is Jaron Lanier's, You Are Not a Gadget. Described as, An impassioned argument about the downside of online collectivism and Web 2.0 culture...
These two texts should rattle some cages, or worse, provoke some ideas.
I didn't like "You Are Not a Gadget." To me, the best ideas on tech criticism (much more conceptual) come from Ellul, Postman, McLuhan and others. My issue with Lanier is that it never dealt with the mystery, nuance or paradox. It was a provocative polemic when I hoped for some depth.ReplyDelete
This conversation would not be happening in the world before now........ReplyDelete
Your last 2 paragraphs really resonated with me - I recently have been reflecting on this myself. I know how I feel about it, but putting it into words to make my point has been difficult. I know how much I love technology and could not imagine teaching without it. But still, in my classroom, the technology is not the main focus. Thanks for helping me further clarify some of my thinking on this!ReplyDelete

Our holiday dreams finally came true when we received photos of Milton in his completed hand knitted onesie, sharing his Christmas wish list with Santa Claus.
After knitting for only 2 years, Milton created this one of a kind garment as he went along without any pattern to go by. We think that's pretty amazing! It looks like about the coziest thing ever, too.

Lost amidst the events of the past few weeks was the launch of the Sidekicks, the significant others of the players and coaches who have unified to provide fans with some cool events and fundraising opportunities. Their first function as a group was an Autograph Alley two weeks ago, where 100 fans got a chance to meet the players after the 3-0 win over Portland down at field level
But where did this come from…what it's all about…what's next?
ColoradoRapids.com caught up with Kersten Mullan (above left), Brian's wife, who took the initiative of getting this project off the ground here in Colorado. Here's how it all began, and what it's all about…
How did the Sidekicks come about?
When I was in Houston I was lucky enough to be around a set of players and a set of wives who were really committed to each other, and really committed to trying to use our relationship to give back to the community. Haley Barrett, Wade's wife (Houston Dynamo assistant coach), had a really great idea to start a wives charity.
We had the first great event in 2009 – which we'll do here – the Closet Sale. We ask the players to donate their old polo shirts, national team stuff, team gear, or shoes that didn't fit from sponsors, and a lot of experiences like Dinner with a Player, or Golf with a Player, and things like that. Then we had fans bid on the items. That effort kicked us off and raised $16,000 for the Ronald McDonald House.
When I got Colorado, looking back at the great work the ladies did there in Houston, I wanted to pitch it to the wives here. And the response from the players' spouses here has been amazing!
What was the background of starting the Sidekicks in Houston?
We had been discussing the idea of starting a charity, and were set on getting off the ground for the 2009 season. Around that time, our youngest son Keagan had just been born and unfortunately spent some time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and as a result, Brian and I utilized the services of the Ronald McDonald House.
We had brought Keegan home and then it was discovered that he was jaundice but his levels were pretty out of control, and they were concerned because of the blood type issues. He was admitted into NICU, and the policy was that you can't sleep bedside. So our options were to stay up all night, or the nurses suggested we could use the Ronald McDonald House, where we could stay there close to Keagan.
The care at the hospital was unbelievable, and he responded so quickly that we were able to bring him home on the third day. But in the meantime, we slept in the Ronald McDonald House. So that became an organization for me that is close to my heart.
It became one of those things were had this great idea for fundraising, and amazing beneficiary that had a direct impact on us. Both came together and we started the Sidekicks.
What is the mission / goal of the Sidekicks?
We want to use our personal relationship with the player to offer opportunities for fans that will ultimately result in raising some dollars to give back to the community, to give back to Denver and Colorado. Not only do we want to give them cool opportunities, but also let fans know that if they support the Sidekicks, that money will go back into the Community.
The Sidekicks will use our relationship with the players to give the fans something unique that no one else can give, not even the front office. And it's not all about raising money, we'll offer cool experiences to meet the players as well.
How have the players responded?
For the players, it's different when your wife is asking you to do something! What's really cool is that it is different for the players. They understand that this effort is coming from a different side, it's about families and about supporting their wives and their fellow players' significant others. Wells Thompson's wife, Daphne (above right), has stepped up to help us get going. On our first event – the autograph alley – we had more than 20 players come out to sign autographs, so they have been great!
What are the next projects?
The next project comes up on Thursday, at the World Cup of Wine and Beers (TICKETS AVAILABLE). We put together these basket as an opportunity to show the fans the players' personalities away from the field, something we had a lot of success with in Houston.
We met with the players and explained what we wanted to do, and asked the guys to think about how they could show the fans who they were, besides the guy fans see running around. We wanted fans to learn about the players from a completely different perspective.
It's been pretty awesome and the guys have been great. For instance Matt Pickens' basket is all about the Midwest, and the outdoors. Ian Joyce and Drew Moor did a basket about what they do on their day off, so they included gift certificates to places to go to. Tyrone Marshall is doing a basket about cooking, and combining his Jamaican roots to his wife's southern roots. A lot of player wrote personal letters to whoever wins their basket. And of course each will have a 'big ticket' item, like a signed jersey or cleats. They'll all be there on Thursday for people to bid on." (SOME ITEMS PICTURED BELOW)
How can fans contribute time, money, or communicate with the Sidekicks?
Look out for Sidekicks events, and come talk to us. We'll be doing a t-shirt sale for Military Appreciation night in July 28. Keep your eyes open to the website, or come talk to us at any of the events. We'd love to get other ideas of things fans think we should try to do. We also hope to get up and running on social media soon, too."

I'm leaving today for SQLSaturday #17, actually in Baton Rouge. I'll be at the speaker party tonight and hope to see many of you at the event tomorrow. I'm not sure when I'm speaking as there was some schedule shuffling, but I'll deliver "The Modern Resume: Building Your Brand" if you want to see it.
Coming from Denver I had two choices for flights. I could fly to some city, depending on airline, change planes, and then land in Baton Rouge. Or I could fly to New Orleans and drive up. The distance between the cities is about 70 miles, a bit over an hour by car. Since I'd easily burn that hour in an airport changing planes, and I've never been to New Orleans, I decided to take that route.
My plan is to fly to New Orleans, pick up a car and drive around for a few hours. I'm looking forward to a meal in the French Quarter before heading to Baton Rouge.
I've also allotted myself an afternoon flight Sunday, so I'll drive back early in the morning and spend the day doing touristy things in New Orleans. Suggestions are welcome, and if anyone is taking a similar journey, ping me.

I realize you have concerns about GH right now. However, the writers are trying to reduce GH to a core group of characters, for financial and storyline considerations. Because of that, several actors have been/will be let go. Change is hard, but GH will continue to be Must-See-TV in the new year, I promise you. Stay tuned. There is so much great stuff coming up.
Happy Holidays.
